Firefly Journey

Fenee glanced almost imperceptibly at Orlando, trying to read his thoughts, but Orlando's nonchalant demeanor revealed nothing.

Finne had concerns. The swordsman, who carried two extraordinary weapons at his waist, did not respond to her requests, and she feared that he might interfere if she encountered her desired treasure.

In fact, she was completely overthinking it. Orlando is a man of his word; what he has to keep is his promise to his savior. Everything else is simply not on his radar.

"Don't worry about him," said Wind Chime.

Cassius had told her some things about Orlando, so she was quite certain that he wouldn't do anything dangerous.

Finne Roberts chose to believe, carefully holding the pendant and closing her eyes to begin a new round of divination.

Just as she was performing the ritual, Time Punisher Paninger ended the rewind, looking disappointed, having found nothing.

This is not surprising to everyone. Those at a lower level of the "Time Mage" profession cannot unleash its true power. Only after the third awakening can one be considered to have just begun to understand it. To truly master it, one probably needs to become a demigod.

Yes, it's like making empty promises; we have a bright future, but the current hardships are maddening.

Finne Roberts had his eyes tightly shut, sweat beading on his forehead, and looked pained; he was probably in trouble.

Upon seeing this, Fengling immediately understood the problem: "Her magical power is insufficient to support this divination; she needs external input."

Upon hearing this, Jamie Roberts immediately sprang into action. This was his own sister; if he didn't come, who would?

“Save your energy,” Wind Chime suddenly said. “I’m not used to taking advantage of others.”

Lin Yuanran gave a thumbs up in his heart. Well-mannered! No wonder he was born into a noble family.

However, Wind Chime continued, "Ario, you go."

"Me?" Lin Yuanran was confused, but he quickly understood what Feng Ling meant. Well, my meager skills are useless in an unexpected situation, and might even be a hindrance. I might as well act as a power bank for them now, at least I can do my part…

Lin Yuanran walked to Finne's side, flames rising from his fingers as he began transmitting data to Finne Robert.

Different professions have different magical attributes. For example, fire mages and wind mages are definitely different. However, if it is only used to replenish energy, there is no limitation on magical attributes, and the body will automatically adjust.

This process is similar to giving blood transfusions to people with different blood types...

“You come too,” Wind Chime said to the seven extraordinary individuals.

There's no such thing as a free lunch; you can't expect to please someone without putting in some effort. Hida chuckled softly and began helping Finne recover as well.

The seven people were clearly divided into four groups: the old woman Woolf was one group, the three giant brothers were one group, the middle-aged couple and the small group of believers were another group.

The elderly Woolf and the robed man Ram Rachel personally participated, while the three giant brothers and the couple each sent a representative.

This is where the benefits of having a team become apparent.

With everyone adding to the conversation, Finne Roberts' tense expression relaxed, and her face calmed down. About ten minutes later, she opened her eyes.

"How is it?" Several people asked almost simultaneously, including her brother Jamie Roberts.

Of course, Jamie was concerned about her health, while others were asking about the results of the divination.

Finney gave her brother a reassuring look, then said, "I'm sure, we're in an illusion."

"Isn't that obvious?" Lin Yuanran silently complained. Because he had only recently become a superhuman, he didn't have much magic power in his body and was feeling a bit uncomfortable from being drained. At this moment, he was being gently supported by Fei Wei.

"Inside this cave, there is a magical artifact that maintains the illusion. Once you find it, you can break the illusion. Unfortunately, my abilities are limited, and I cannot pinpoint its location, but I can assure you that it is inside the cave!"

Everyone was satisfied with the divination result; having a general direction was enough.

“Then let’s get started, everyone.” Steve raised the magnifying glass again.

After everyone nodded, they dispersed and began searching for the magical artifacts hidden inside the cave.

"Roar!!"

Just then, a beastly roar, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, rang out, causing the crystal cave to tremble. In that instant, Lin Yuanran experienced the sensation of an earthquake.

"This is……"

The tremor lasted for less than three seconds before the crystal cave returned to silence.

“The sound is very far away from us; it must be coming from outside the cave, or rather, from outside the Divine Ruins.” Fei Wei possessed excellent hearing; he was a “Wind Mage.”

“I know who the voice belongs to.” Lin Yuanran said truthfully. After several months of gathering herbs, he had some understanding of the situation in the Yedeen Mountains.

Such roars often echoed from deep within the mountains, but Lin Yuanran had never seen its true form. He speculated that it was a high-level magical beast.

“There are teachers outside to oversee things, so there’s no need to worry about that,” Hauglis said.

Lin Yuanran wanted to say that the magical beast was no ordinary creature, but when he thought of Cassius's strength, he knew that Cassius was no ordinary creature either, so he didn't say anything more.

……

……

Outside the Divine Ruins, deep within the mountains.

"It seems someone really is going to come and cause trouble." Cassius's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened to the beast's roar.

“What are you going to do?” Lumer asked.

The well-informed Cassius said, "This is not the normal roar of a mountain giant. It contains whimpers. It must have been corrupted by something and is calling for help from its surroundings."

When Cassius was scouting before, he saw the giant on the mountaintop from afar. At that time, it was gentle, but now it has clearly changed.

If this is not clarified, it could very well threaten the Divine Ruins.

“It seems we’re going to be one short of a rotating member,” McCauley said.

There is no distinction between day and night within the Divine Ruins, while outside, the sun is already setting and night is about to fall.

"Trust me, I'll be back soon," Cassius said. "Thank you for your hard work. The mountain giant is the master of this mountain range and has demigod-level strength, which is higher than any of us. If we leave it unattended, it might go berserk in its extreme pain."

If it goes berserk, we blatant outsiders might suffer; I must resolve this problem. Moreover, I suspect someone deliberately made it this way, for the purpose of destroying ancient ruins.”

Cassius's analysis was very logical and everyone thought it made a lot of sense, so they all agreed with his plan.

"Be careful!"

Under the dim, slanting sunlight, Cassius leaped onto the treetops and, stepping on the branches, sped towards the giant atop the mountain.

The giant stood on the cliff, its body over ten meters tall. It pounded its feet and chest, and the cliff trembled as if it might crack at any moment.

The mountaintop giants evolved from the ancient Titans. Over the long course of time, their size has shrunk considerably. According to ancient records, the god of gladiatorial combat and courage was once over a hundred meters tall.

Of course, there was no unit of length called "meter" at that time; this conclusion was reached by later scholars through research.

Titans were few in number, even during the most prosperous ancient times. Now, after tens of thousands of years, there are almost no rumors about them, and it is possible that they have become extinct.

Their close relatives, the mountain giants, did not inherit their wisdom and great strength. They were not considered intelligent beings and could only be called monsters, which is equivalent to the relationship between humans and monkeys.

Cassius Bello did not rush to reveal himself, but instead hid in the night, his eyes gleaming as he assessed the symptoms of the mountain giant.

"An invasion by an evil god?"

Cassius made his judgment.
