Moonlight team, are you awake?

"Mount Hakone? Could it be...?"

The Great Moonlight descended to a low altitude, looked around for a moment, and then spat out a blue light bullet from its mouth, instantly blasting open a stone wall on the mountainside.

The solid stone wall shattered under the power of the light blast, and huge rocks slowly fell down, revealing the skeletons inside that were almost fossilized.

"This is...King Savorth?" Although only fossilized remains remained, the distinctive shape and horns allowed Meng to quickly identify the other party.

"This is my comrade who fought alongside me 50 years ago. After it died in battle, I brought its remains back to the place where it was born and buried it," said Oozuki in a brief introduction.

Although the Great Moonlight spoke calmly, I could roughly understand how it felt. Although it was a monster, its intelligence and emotions were no different from those of a human.

After 50 years, seeing a former companion again, only to find that the other has become nothing but a fossil, is a feeling that is hard to describe.

What I didn't know was that not only King Savors III was buried here, but also Taganura, Tiguris, Sadra, and Taiton, who fought alongside the Great Moonlight.

After the final battle on the moon, the Great Moonlight, despite his severe injuries, brought them here one by one to be buried. In the end, even while heavily wounded, he used the power of the Earth's Light to seal this place, so that their remains would not be desecrated.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked, puzzled.

The Great Moonlight slowly flew to the fossil of King Savors, silently closed its eyes, and emitted a faint red glow of earthly light.

Then, the horn on King Savors' head also emitted a faint light, which gradually transformed into a fist-sized ball of light and flew to my dream.

"This is the power it left behind before it died. I don't know if it had a premonition when it was dying. At that time, it told me that it foresaw that the earth would face an even greater crisis in the future, so it entrusted its last power to the corner and told me that if a critical moment came, I should take out its power or entrust it to my descendants."

I understand what it means. At this moment, the Great Moonlight believes that Zaqira's crisis has become so great that it is difficult for it to handle on its own. It may have anticipated that it might be defeated, so it came here to retrieve the power left behind by its companion, hoping to have more security.

“But wouldn’t it be better for you to wield King Savors’ power? After all, you’re the only one who can fight Zakira head-on right now.” Imu tried to push the ball of light in front of the Great Moonlight.

Da Yueguang shook his head: "Its power is not suitable for me. That power can only be effective when used on the ground. Using it in the sky will only slow me down."

Obviously, this is why the Great Moonlight did not use this power during the final battle on the moon. As a purely ground unit, King Savor's power can only be exerted on the ground, but the Great Moonlight is not suitable for ground combat. Otherwise, King Savor would have given its power to it before it died.

"Take it."

Urged on by the great moonlight, I took out my Blue Sapphire Cone. The ball of light seemed to have found its target and quickly flew into the Blue Sapphire Cone, merging with my Earth Light.

After the fusion, the brightness of the Earth Light seemed to have increased slightly. Only then did I belatedly realize: "So King Savors is also...?"

"Yes, it was a life form with the light of Earth, just like me. However, in the final battle, its light of Earth was almost exhausted, leaving only a little bit for those who came after it."

"I understand." After obtaining the Earth Light from King Savors, the Gaia Light, which was still recovering, was able to transform again. I immediately raised the Blue Sapphire Cone to release the Earth Light and transform into Gaia.

Gaia appeared in the valley, her appearance unchanged, but one could definitely feel that the power flowing through her body was stronger than before. If she were to face her former self, she could probably defeat her in a few minutes.

I dreamt that this was the power left behind by King Savors, but unexpectedly, the large moonlight hovering low in the sky not far from him suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a small light bullet at him. Because it happened so suddenly, I didn't even have a chance to open the protective shield with my hands. The only thought that flashed through my mind was "I need to find a way to block it".

Just when he thought he would be blasted away by the light bullet, a barrier suddenly appeared around my dream, deflecting the light bullet from the Great Moonlight.

"This is...?!" I almost cried out in surprise as I looked at the barrier surrounding me, which was as solid as a copper wall.

He was very familiar with this barrier, for it was clearly the barrier of King Savors III!

"This is its strongest power, the [Curtain Barrier], which can isolate any attack from outside the barrier. It was the strongest defensive skill of our time," Oozuki explained.

"This barrier is really amazing..." I dreamed, looking at the barrier surrounding me. After briefly sensing the power within it, I removed it.

【Curtain Barrier】 is different from the protective shield skill of my dream itself. The normal protective shield skill requires both hands to be opened in a specific posture in front of the body. In other words, there is a "skill pre-cast" and it cannot be released instantly, nor can it be used when movement is restricted.

Furthermore, ordinary barrier skills can only block a circular area in front of oneself, and cannot even cover the entire body.

King Savors III's [Curtain Barrier] is a completely instantaneous skill. Just now, I only had the thought of "defense" in my mind, and the barrier instantly unfolded. Moreover, King Savors III's barrier surrounds the entire body in 360°, and even the back and sides of the body are perfectly protected, which is very similar to Zetton's [Zetton Copper Wall].

Even with [Zetton Copper Wall], there is still a casting animation before casting, so in terms of casting speed, [Curtain Barrier] is still superior.

PS.........

Would you like to see more background story details? For example, why did so many enemies come to Earth from the ancient times 30 million years ago to the period of Prison Dream? When did the ancient giants run out of resources? What battles did Earth experience during which time? How did Tago's mother die? Why is there only one member left in the Moonlight team, which led to Prison Dream's current predicament?

Chapter Sixty-Three: The Road of No Return

The power of the [Curtain Barrier] undoubtedly provided my dream with strong support. Although its defensive power is not truly invincible, it is at least almost impossible to break through head-on within the same stage.

King Savor's power was almost entirely contained in this barrier. In the original work, it was this barrier skill alone that left Guiman helpless when he first encountered King Savor. Neither the Specium Ray, the Eight-Point Light Wheel, nor the Shinera Ray could break through the curtain-like barrier's defense.

With the power of the curtain-like barrier, Gamu's defense level is almost maxed out. As long as his energy reserves are sufficient, even SV-level opponents cannot easily harm him. As Gamu's strength increases, the barrier's level will also increase. It can be said that it has almost permanently solved Gamu's defensive concerns.

Of course, the barrier itself is also a consumable skill. If you encounter an opponent like Sphia or Mecha Gaia who can keep shooting, you will be finished once your energy is exhausted. But if you encounter an opponent of that level, you might be instantly killed without the barrier.

"Now you have the means to fight that guy. With this power, even an enemy from that universe won't be able to easily harm you." Ootsuki nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, I also understood why Great Moonlight did not use the power left by King Savors. In an aerial combat environment, deploying a curtain-like barrier would actually slow down its own speed greatly due to blocking the air. Although its defensive power increased on the surface, it would actually make it a sitting duck for speed-type enemies.

Furthermore, the curtain-like barrier can only encircle itself once, and like the Zetton Copper Wall of some Zettons, it cannot cover the top and bottom. Once the speed is slowed down due to the deployment of the barrier, it will give the enemy an opportunity to attack from the weak point.

On the contrary, in land battles, most monsters' body structures do not support them to perform high-difficulty moves such as meteor kicks, and burrowing underground to ambush from below is only an ability possessed by a very small number of monsters. Therefore, the curtain barrier is almost invincible in land battles.

"You and your companions should prepare yourselves well, get your physical and mental strength to the best, that guy will be back." Oozuki looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with worry.

Having long harbored doubts, I finally couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with your health? Why do I keep feeling like you're making your final arrangements?"

Da Yueguang didn't speak, but slightly raised his body, revealing a piece of carapace covering his abdomen, inside which was a hideous wound. It was unknown how deep it was, but it had obviously damaged the inside.

“50 years ago, I fought Damon Cohen on the moon. That was the second time I killed him. I thought it was all over. I never imagined that the guy could be killed three times in total.”

What happened next seems self-evident: the Great Moonlight was ambushed by Damon Cohen, who had "come back to life" once again, and its abdomen was pierced. It then continued to fight Damon Cohen in a bloody battle. Although it eventually annihilated Damon Cohen on the moon, Damon Cohen left a curse on it before it died, making its wounds never heal.

At that time, the Great Moonlight was already doomed, but it still dragged its broken body back to Earth, buried its companions in the Hakone Mountains, and then fell into a deep sleep alone on the earth.

Sleeping cannot heal injuries. Rather than sleeping, it is more like sealing itself away, because Great Moonlight does not want to die a cowardly and slow death. In addition, King Savors had a premonition of future battles before his death, so Great Moonlight chose to sleep, and then revive when it is needed in the future, and die in a fierce battle.

This is why Earth never awakened the Great Moonlight during all those previous battles; it only had one more chance to fight, and regardless of victory or defeat, its life would quickly fade away.

Upon learning the truth, I felt my body tremble. No wonder Earth had never awakened such a powerful monster as the Great Moonlight; it was because it was already doomed.

“My condition is rapidly deteriorating. If I hadn’t taken down that guy in the first place, it would be even more impossible now. But I will do everything in my power to wear it down. After that, it’s up to you.” Great Moonlight closed the carapace of the wound, hiding it from Zakira.

“I understand.” I nodded solemnly.

"Go back and prepare. I'll stay here for a while. I'll appear when that guy comes back." After saying that, Da Yueguang flew into the valley alone, clearly having no intention of continuing to communicate with my dream.

I knew in my dream that there was no time for nonsense at this moment. He exchanged a glance with Jaden beside him, and the latter understood and instantly teleported him back to Brother Tazi's basement.

From the moment he left the basement to finding the Great Moonlight, battling Zaqira, and finally returning with the power of King Savors, only a little over an hour had passed.

"What's the situation?" At this moment, Taganura and the others were still completely unaware of what was happening outside.

"The situation is complicated, and we are about to fight a tough battle." With mixed feelings, I told everyone everything that had just happened.

After briefly recounting the story of Big Moonlight and Zakira, the entire basement fell into a deathly silence.

After exchanging glances, Taganura handed the reins to Imu:

"Tell us how to fight, and we'll all listen to you."

Having gone through so many battles and faced more than one terrifying enemy, whether it was Taganura or Deltandar, they all understood very well that the reason why this group of high school students, middle school students, and people with severe injuries could defeat so many enemies was entirely because of my dream. Otherwise, they might have all been wiped out by now.

Without hesitation, I began to arrange the battle plan: "This time, I will take the lead. I have King Savors' curtain barrier, which can definitely withstand that guy."

"Brother Ta, I'll find a way to arrange another high-purity energy power plant for you on Earth. You can absorb as much as you want. After you're done, come to the location I've arranged to fight."

"I understand, but... will the other side obediently come to the place you arranged to fight?"

“He will.” I dreamt of Balu, who was huddled in the corner trembling. “After fighting with the Great Moonlight, it will definitely be seriously injured. Then it will go crazy looking for Balu, wanting to eat it to recover its strength. So wherever Balu is, it will be there.”

"Huh? Me?" Balu pointed to himself tremblingly.

I nodded: "Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm not using you as bait. That guy was specifically after you. If you cooperate with us, our chances of survival will be higher."

“I understand, I understand…” Balu’s small body trembled incessantly: “If I don’t kill that guy, I’m definitely going to die. Only by killing it can I survive.”

“That’s it.” I then turned to Deltandar: “After that guy lands, you can reappear. I’ll hold it back from taking off, otherwise you’ll be instantly killed in the air.”

Even the Great Moonlight could only slightly suppress its opponent in aerial combat, so it's obvious what would happen if this Little Moonlight went up there.

Finally, there's King Black.

“Black King and I are working together to support each other. This time, the enemy’s encirclement is useless. We can only face it head-on and hope that Tazi can kill it after he has absorbed enough energy.”

"What if it can't be killed even if it absorbs all its energy?" Taganura asked, seemingly out of place.

"I'll die the same way Agul dies." I gritted my teeth.
