Chapter 628
Chapter 628 Might of Moonshade
The flying ship.
Inside a secret cabin room.
Greem and Alice sat across from each other. A palm-sized wooden idol was the only thing placed upon the crude wooden table. At this moment, several red ropes were wrapped around the wooden idol haphazardly, going in every direction.
These red ropes looked normal as if they were just everyday objects, but the strange magical flux radiating from them had completely sealed the mysterious aura of the wooden idol within it.
This appeared to be a sort of strange sealing spell!
However, given that its material was an ordinary red rope, Greem couldn’t help but be amazed at the wonders of magic.
“What’s there to be curious about?!” Alice seemed to have picked up on Greem’s surprise. She naughtily pursed her lips and smiled, “The materials that ancient adepts used were all trash that they simply picked up from the ground– things like stones and dirt, or even bones and tree sap. The spells they cast could all move the planar laws with the power of laws. They had no need to rely on powerful magical materials to enhance and supplement the effect of their magic like the rookie adepts these days.”
Greem couldn’t help but scratch his head upon seeing how eager Alice was, “What did you call me over here for? I know absolutely nothing about the power of faith. I’m afraid I won’t be of much help!”
Alice smiled slightly, “I didn’t call you here for anything. I just wanted you to sit by my side and watch as I do it.”
“Then?”
“You are the calmest and smartest adept I have ever seen. You can judge for yourself. If anything goes wrong during my unsealing ritual or my process of investigation, you must instantly destroy the idol without any hesitation. I’m worried… I will no longer have the power to destroy this idol at that time.”
Greem nodded his head in comprehension.
It seemed Alice had called him here to be a supervisor. If Alice’s actions stirred the Goddess of Moonlight, she would have plenty of means to crush this First Grade shrimp to death. When that happened, it would be Greem’s time to find a way to save her!
Of course, this was only out of the cautious nature of adepts.
The Goddess of Moonlight was a goddess– a high and aloof deity. If it wasn’t a particular reason or a unique motivation, it was hard even to attract her attention. That was why the two of them never really expected something like that to arise when Alice gently told Greem about his purpose here. Their moods were still very relaxed.
Greem smiled when he saw Alice’s white and slender fingers lightly touch the red ropes upon the idol and remove them in a specific order. He started communicating with the Chip in his mind.
Chip; note, observe, and record all of Alice’s actions. Immediately take intervention measures upon detecting any oddities.
[Beep. Order received. Scanning and recording in process.]
With an agile movement of Alice’s slender fingers, the red ropes sealing the wooden idol finally snapped cleanly apart!
The next second, a sinister, unfathomable, and strange power emanated from within the idol. This crude idol that had originally been carved of oak had, oddly enough, come to life.
The formerly coarse and crude face that only possessed simple eyes and a nose started to stretch and transform. The wooden patterns turned smooth and clean. The protruding wooden nose also turned straight and pretty. Even more terrifying were the pair of shut eyes and the eyelashes upon them quivering, as they were about to open wide.
[Beep. Detecting the appearance of a mysterious power. The source is the inside of the divine object. Detecting the appearance of a miniature spatial cave-in. A mysterious spatial passage is forming.]
A series of red alerts quickly rang out in Greem’s mind. Greem looked around the room and immediately realized that Alice was staring at the wooden idol and her eyes were out of focus. She didn’t seem to be aware of the impending danger.
Spatial passage?
What exactly was that damned Goddess of Moonlight trying to send over?
Even if it was only a small spatial cave-in, the power being transferred over was probably not something that Greem and Alice could endure.
That was why Greem raised his right hand without hesitation and furiously punched the wooden idol.
The ferocious power of fire exploded in an instant. The wooden idol that had barely started opening its eyes immediately split into thousands of pieces. That strange power also vanished at the same time.
The next second, Greem and Alice spat out blood and collapsed limply to the ground. An odd projection of a moon surfaced upon their foreheads.
