Chapter 357 Who is the Star's Darling?
“That vampire came in last month. She’s very strong, even stronger than when I first came in. Achilles’ remnant soul fought her for a long time and finally barely managed to suppress her.”
“I estimate that Achilles suffered considerable damage, otherwise his shadow wouldn’t still be stuck on that platform. And that vampire has only been trapped for a short time, so he should still have some strength left, unlike me, who has been worn down by this moon palace for six years!”
The consciousness transmitted from Qin Lan had begun to become blurred, clearly indicating that the remaining power within his mangled body was extremely weak.
"How did Achilles defeat you? And where is that vampire?" Qin Mo realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly picked out the most important questions.
"The entire Moon Palace... is under Achilles' control, but that's not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing... is the flames within you, like the black flames..."
"That vampire is hiding in the southwest corner, one of the least stressful places in the Moon Palace. But she's badly injured, and you need to give her some blood... Be careful..."
Qin Lan's consciousness ended here, and her last moments of consciousness were fragmented. The reluctance and worry contained within them brought tears to Qin Mo's eyes again.
"You two...you really have a deep bond! Unlike my son...he hasn't come to see me even once in six hundred years..."
Achilles, looking down at Qin Mo and Qin Lan from the high platform, was filled with emotion once again.
Qin Mo felt that Achilles' remnant soul had developed Alzheimer's disease, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, and now it was even starting to feel sentimental.
"Your Majesty, I admit I have offended your majesty, but I only came to find my father. Now that I have found him, may we both leave? I will not take anything from the Moon Palace." Qin Mo wrapped Achilles' remains and bones in Qin Lan's python robe and spoke silently to him.
"Hehehe! Since you've entered the Moon Palace, you have to pay a price, and what you... have to pay is... your body!"
"I, the great Achilles, the most powerful emperor of the elves, have now chosen you, little fellow of impure blood. This is your honor!"
Qin Mo realized that her previous thought was foolish. Achilles would never suffer from dementia; he would only suffer from narcissism and arrogance.
Qin Mo strapped the package containing Qin Lan to her back and silently began to gather her strength. Since they couldn't reach an agreement, she might as well flip the table! Her cheap father, as a Saint-level expert, was definitely insightful. If he said there was a chance to defeat Achilles, then there really was a chance, provided that the vampire was found.
Qin Mo looked towards the southwest corner of the main hall, where there was indeed a huddled figure, but it was a bit far away from her, and it looked like it would take some effort to get there.
"As His Majesty of the Elven race, isn't it your responsibility as a leader to protect your people? You are respected and loved by all the elves; shouldn't these be more valuable than life itself? Why are you still bothered by their unwillingness to sacrifice their lives for you?"
While gesturing wildly and spouting fallacies, Qin Mo walked seemingly casually, tracing a curve towards the southwest corner of the main hall.
"The elves with me, Achilles, are the only elves worthy of respect and fear. What have the elves done since I disappeared? They need me, they need their king. For the glory and status of the elves, is a perfect body not even worth it?"
Achilles' words weren't entirely without merit, but a perfect body meant a highly talented and powerful individual. What powerful individual would be willing to repay Achilles with their life? Especially an elf, a species that cherishes freedom; who wouldn't want to live another five hundred years?
Just as Qin Mo was about to explain the meaning of freedom to Achilles, her little scheme was discovered.
"Are you going to find her? Hahaha, little guy... you're quite clever. I'm barely satisfied with your body now."
Achilles spoke teasingly to Qin Mo, and the scenery in the moon palace began to change.
The stars in the dome began to rotate like a real sky, and a large amount of starlight was sprinkled on the moon in the sky. The starlight gathered together and was transformed by the suspended moon into a bright, cold beam of light, which shot towards Qin Mo.
The beam of light arrived in an instant, and Qin Mo had no time to dodge. She could only desperately circulate the star vortex within her body, transforming it into more starlight to form a light shield in front of her.
The bright moonlight shone on Qin Mo's light shield, causing an incredible refraction. Most of the moonlight shone like a beam of light onto a mirror, reflecting in all directions, but a small portion of the moonlight still shone on Qin Mo.
Qin Mo was terrified. Looking at the fate of someone as powerful as Qin Lan, even a fool could tell that the moonlight was not as gentle and bright as it appeared; it must have a powerful destructive force.
The moonlight touched her body, cool as water, slowly flowing in and out. Qin Mo instantly felt the life force draining from her body.
Strands of moonlight passed through Qin Mo's body, taking away his life force, scattering it into the air, and seeping back into the starry sky above.
"Wow! Your star power is so pure, that's a pleasant surprise!" Achilles said with delight, looking at Qin Mo's multicolored starlight shield.
"Then let's see... who is the darling of the stars!"
Qin Mo gritted his teeth, and a star vortex emerged from his body, slowly rotating around him.
