Chapter 182 The Chosen One of Art, Heading to the Battlefield

In the secret room of the ancient castle.

On the floor, a dark sun was drawn, with shadows flowing through it.

Next to the magic circle stood a portal with a dark purple gem inlaid on the top. The shadow in the center of the portal emitted purple light.

Lothar was wearing a hood, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. He said:

"Are you sure my identity won't be revealed?"

"There is no such thing as a foolproof plan."

The crow landed on Lothair's shoulder, his eyes red, and he said:

"There is no turning back, Lothar. It's either winner takes all or nothing."

"I heard that if you catch the fish of wisdom, you can become the chosen one of magic—"

Lothar's eyes flashed, and he said jokingly:

"Do I, an intruder, have the qualifications to inherit Minerva's legacy?"

"Knowledge has no distinction between good and evil. Minerva was born from the conflict between the dark night and the moonlight, which also proves this point."

The crow laughed and said, "Go and give it a try, Lothar. Maybe you can really become the chosen one of magic?"

Lothar thought to himself, "Hmph, the fog demon is not completely trustworthy... If I can get the fish of wisdom, even if I betray the Dark Night Sect, I can rely on its wisdom and ascend to the throne of Saxonburg."

"But once the Shadow Prince arrives, things will be completely out of my control."

"Don't use this method unless it's a last resort."

Lothar's body became hunched, as if he had suddenly become a different person. Relying on the methods of the Four-Ring Assassin, even his physique and aura changed.

He chanted a spell, and a wriggling shadow tentacle appeared from the magic circle.

Then, the entire tree-trunk-like body of the shadow beast appeared. It was made entirely of tentacles, and its ink-like body was almost invisible in the darkness.

"I entered the magic circle with the Shadow Executioner," Lothar said.

"What shadow executioner? It's clearly a shadow octopus..."

The crow muttered, then looked at Lothair's back and asked, "Are you not going to summon the Shadow Prince?"

“When the time comes, I will naturally pray for His coming.”

The words fell.

Lothar's figure has disappeared into the portal.

at the same time.

In the Minerva bell tower, the image presented by the water curtain was suddenly interrupted.

At sunset, the afterglow shone into the clock tower through the glass, and a trace of solemnity appeared on Candela's face.

"Master Kendala, what's going on?" Celine asked.

Candela said in a deep voice:

"Minerva's divine realm... has been invaded!"

Ye Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

As expected, an accident happened! "The trial cannot be stopped, but we can enter the portal, find and eliminate the intruder." Fina said with a grim expression.

"But this portal only allows three-ring transcendents to enter." Edwin frowned, "Otherwise, the number of rings for participants in the trial would not be limited to three!"

Kendela's face was heavy, and in his eyes, a dark vortex was reflected under the dusk sky.

The dark vortex swirled, attracting the attention and exclamations of the citizens, and it was filled with monstrous evil thoughts.

Kendela was very familiar with this vortex.

More than 20 years ago, before the arrival of the Shadow Prince, a similar scene had occurred! "Beyond the portal in the clock tower, there should be another portal." Candela decided, "I will first find and destroy this portal. As for the intruder in the portal..."

"I'll go." Princess Celine's face flashed with faith. "If I'm not mistaken, the invaders must be related to the Dark Night Sect. I need to show up!"

Although Princess Celine is a three-ring priest, as the saint of the Moonlight Church, she can use herself as a vessel to pray for the advent of divinity when necessary.

Seeing that Celine had volunteered, and that his own pets were in danger, Ye Zhi also needed to enter the portal.

"Teacher, I entered the portal with Princess Celine." Ye Zhi said.

The Pan's Flute on him can have a restrictive effect even when facing a four-ring transcendent.

Kendra frowned: "But..."

Ye Zhi said seriously: "Although it is a little tricky, but we will win!"

Not even for a moment did he mourn the invasion of Minerva's realm.

The one who rushed to the battlefield was the God-chosen one of art, Yeats!

"I'm a Sanhuan too, Yeats, I'll go with you!" Gray shouted.

Yeats originally wanted Gray to stay here, but then he changed his mind and realized that only geniuses could get the favor of the fish of wisdom.

If it's Gray, maybe she can really attract the fish of wisdom! ...

The divine realm of Minerva.

Water source.

The night is like a cold iron curtain, the stars are dim, and dark clouds cover the waning moon.

Above the muddy wetland, the dim moonlight was reflected in the puddles, which were trampled by the snow leopards.

Ye Zhi held a torch and rode on a snow leopard. The moment he was teleported to a random location in the realm, he quickly rushed along the river to its source.

The reason why we are so sure about the hiding place of the fish of wisdom is because the answer is written on the riddle.

Ye Zhi dared to conclude that Snow Owl, June, and Heti, who were still participating in the trial, would also head towards the water source.

A cold wind blows on my face.

The lonely starlight shone on the dim road ahead. Yeats pondered the true identity of the invader and had a guess in his mind.

At this time, Ye Zhi heard the shrill howling of wolves, and was surprised that there were wild beasts in the water source. Soon, a cold wind blew, and three shadow wolves rushed down the hillside.

Shadow beast!

Yeats frowned.

It seems that it is not only the followers of the Dark Night who have invaded the territory, but also an unknown number of shadow beasts! The bodies of the three shadow wolves are made of flowing shadows, and their eyes are glowing with eerie purple light, chasing after the snow leopard.

Sometimes he bit the snow leopard's tail, and sometimes he pounced on Yeats.

This group of shadow wolves still retains the cunning of their lifetime, and each of them is at the level of the second ring. The threat posed by teamwork has increased sharply! They do not intend to cause harm, but just want to anger the snow leopard, interfere with Ye Zhi, and try to make him fall off his mount.

Ye Zhi's riding combat talent took effect and was not affected at all.

Seeing this, the Shadow Wolves changed their strategy. Two of them circled in front of Ye Zhi, while the other attacked Ye Zhi's back!

There was a dark mist around Yeats's shoulders.

The black mist formed a dark gray Wild Hunt cloak behind him.

The shadow wolf's claws swung, and fire burst out with a 'ding' sound. The Wild Hunt cloak provided excellent defense like metal armor! "The spells in the Wild Hunt domain are really useful!"

Yeats wields the chain of the Wild Hunt like a cowboy wielding a lasso.

The iron chain whistled in the wind, and suddenly swung and smashed, splitting the head of a shadow wolf open with a "bang"! At the same time, the snow leopard opened its bloody mouth, and its fangs gathered a cold light.

God-given combat skill: Winter's Bite!

The snow leopard bit a shadow wolf into pieces and swallowed it whole.

"I know, it tastes like red bean paste!"

As he spoke, Yeats took out the Crescent Mace.

The brilliant moonlight and fighting spirit were injected into it, and the war hammer ignited with dazzling moon fire!

Boom! The hammer swung out with great force and power.

With the inertia of the snow leopard's charge, he swung the mace and hit the shadow wolf in the belly.

It whimpered and was blasted several meters away. It fell to the ground and shattered into shadows with a "bang"!

Ye Zhi glanced at the mace, then looked at the place where the Shadow Wolf disappeared, and nodded:

"It makes sense for a bard to bring a hammer to repair his instrument!"

"Woo?" (But master, this is your mace?) "Shut up, Snow Leopard!"

Yeats rushed to the water source.

June has reunited with the Snowy Owl and together they have reached the end of the water source: a lake as clear as a mirror.

The moonlight reflected on the lake, which was sparkling and shimmering. It was quiet all around, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the trees.

"We haven't found Heti along the way. She's really good at hiding. Forget it, let's just ignore her."

June looked at the Snowy Owl and said, "According to the riddle, the fish of wisdom should be in this lake. Now it is already night - let's catch the fish of wisdom first!"

Yeats used castor musk as raw material to make bait and gave it to June, asking her to use it to fish for the fish of wisdom.

But this just increases the chances of getting hooked.

Neither Yeats nor June was sure when the fish of wisdom would appear.

Moreover, even if the fish of wisdom is hooked, only those who catch it with their own hands can pass the trial and become the chosen one of God.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"Gu!" The yellow eyes of the Snowy Owl shine brightly in the night, meaning that you come to fish, and I will protect you!

June muttered, "There aren't any enemies here..."

The words haven't finished yet.

A sense of crisis suddenly arose in her heart.

It was a dark night, and shadowy figures flashed through the dark forest by the lake. June's face was solemn, and suddenly he saw the shadow rushing out of the forest!

With the dim moonlight breaking through the dark clouds, June saw its true form.

A terrifying monster covered with shadow tentacles, its long and thick tentacles kept wriggling, but it moved very quickly, flashing in front of June in an instant! June was well-educated and knew that this was the assassin's shadow step, which was faster than the combat skill instant step in the dark area.

But how could such a monster related to shadow appear in Minerva's divine realm?

June had no time to think about it, and quickly drew out the red rose sword, with a rosy glow surging from the sword body.

Under the amplification of this rare weapon, the golden fighting spirit burning on June's body shone brightly, and the shadow beast's tentacles retracted slightly when they touched the flames.

It's afraid of the light!

"Use a spell that releases strong light!"

June gave the information loudly, and then used his fierce sword skills to fight with the shadow executioner with multiple tentacles.

The Snowy Owl flutters its wings, summoning the light of the moon.

The shadow beast shrouded in moonlight split into two and attacked again! June's pressure was shared, but he still didn't dare to relax.

The edges of the tentacles were extremely sharp and could easily cut off the head, causing June's forehead to be covered with sweat.

Ding! June's tense nerves trembled violently because of the sword skill being parried, and her pupils contracted as if she fell into an icy cave.

The blade-like tentacles pierced through her defense and slashed towards her chest!

Suddenly.

A dazzling flash of light bloomed.

The Shadow Executioner paused.

June seized the opportunity and escaped from the knife. He was breathing heavily, sweating as if he had just been fished out of the water, and looked towards the source of the flash.

Heti, who was hiding in the dark, wanted to find an opportunity to get the Fish of Wisdom, but when she saw June and the Snowy Owl in danger, she didn't bother to hide and cast a spell to rescue them.

The split shadow executioner merged into one again, turning into a gigantic shadow beast, flashing in front of Heti.

Click!

The sound of iron chains was heard.

The thick iron chain tightly wrapped around the shadow executioner.

June followed the chain and looked away.

Under the moonlight, the silver-haired boy rode on the snow leopard, with an iron chain wrapped around his arm. The other end of the chain tightly wrapped around the shadow beast! "Caught up."

Ye Zhi, who had already arrived nearby, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the flash magic coming quickly.

Yeats?

June's eyes widened in shock, and she felt relieved to have survived the disaster, with a slight blush spreading across her cheeks.

Bro, you're so damn handsome! It's over, now I owe him another favor!

At this time.

A huge force came from the chains.

Ye Zhi's face was solemn. This shadow beast was at the quasi-fourth ring level!

Compared to human transcendents, shadow beasts are obviously easier to deal with, but even so, Ye Zhi cannot control them for a long time with the Wild Hunt Chain.

The control was about to fail. Ye Zhi glanced at the trembling Heti and said something malicious with a mocking effect, blurting out:

"Thief Sun!"

Click!

The Shadow Executioner broke free from the Wild Hunt chains and performed Shadow Step once again, closing the distance between him and Ye Zhi in the darkness.

The thick tentacles formed by dozens of black tendrils pierced Ye Zhi's chest like sharp spiral guns!

Crisis moment.

The magical pet plane is opened.

A lance woven from black mist flew out from it.

Boom! The lance collided with the tentacles, blocking the Shadow Executioner's attack.

Immediately, the neighing of the nightmare horse was heard from the plane.

A fierce wind whistled out from it, and the Headless Knight, carrying the breath of death, collided with the Shadow Executioner at lightning speed!

Boom! Different from the power of shadow, this power of death from the underworld made Heti's eyes full of shock.

Baron Yezhi…in addition to the Snow Owl, he actually has a contract with such an Undead Knight? !

The Shadow Executioner is extremely effective against flesh and blood, but its Shadow Blade has little effect against Kael'ya.

As usual, it swung its tentacles and chopped off the black-armored knight's head.

The helmet fell to the ground, but was picked up again by the Snowy Owl using levitation magic and put back on the knight.

Not only the people present, but even the Shadow Executioner was stunned for a moment, surprised that such an operation could be possible.

"Headless Horseman, don't die on the guillotine!"

Yeats yelled something incomprehensible.

In his hand, the Silver Moon Nail Hammer ignited a raging moonfire, and the moonlight fighting spirit was stimulated to the extreme. The bright moonlight that appeared made the Shadow Executioner fall into fear!

June's face showed an unconcealed shock, and he blurted out: "Moonlight fighting spirit? How can you have such a fighting skill!"

As a knight, June is well aware of the rarity and preciousness of the special fighting spirit represented by moonlight and scarlet.

Even within the Moonlight Church, there are only a handful of knights who can master the Moonlight Fighting Qi.

June, who was born in the Lannister family, only used the most basic golden fighting spirit, but a bard actually used moonlight fighting spirit? !

Are you the Chosen One of Art or the Chosen One of Moonlight? ? "Because I am also a knight."

After saying that, Ye Zhi swung out the Silver Moon Mace, and the hammer drew a crescent-shaped trajectory.

Moonlight Sword! The vast power of moonlight rose up by the Silent Lake, and the bright moonlight blasted on the body of the Shadow Executioner, immediately dissolving a big hole in it! The mace pierced through the body of the Shadow Beast and returned to Ye Zhi's hand again.

This gorgeous and amazing fighting skill made June and Heti stunned at the same time, and then their eyes were filled with shock.

No, why are you using a hammer to cast Moonlight Sword?!
