Silver-White Spear: Sudden Change

Under the cover of night.

A crescent moon was veiled by thin clouds, and the sparse moonlight cast a deep shadow over the pre-dawn darkness.

The [Black Scripture] group moved like ghosts in the darkness, Silent Shot leaving the area of "Ye Rantil".

The entire process.

The soldiers stationed at the city gate were completely unaware; they only felt a little sleepy and yawned.

Once they were completely outside the border city of the Kingdom, the group led by God-kin Captain suddenly changed their demeanor.

"Speed up the operation!" God-kin Captain's deep red eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke softly without turning his head.

The [Black Scripture] is a secret force of the Theocracy. If it weren't for the resurgence of the Evil Tree, which brought it to the attention of the Adventurer's Guild, they would have been easily defeated.

They will not appear in the Kingdom "Ye-Lantir," but will instead head directly to their destination in the Great Forest of Tob.

"Haste!" The Four Elements- aged man, whose face was grim, emerged from under his black hood and began chanting first. A ghostly blue light appeared beneath the feet of the crowd. He then chanted again:

"Flowing Wind!"

The invisible airflow was stirred up, forming a flowing Whirlwind that gently supported everyone's bodies, reducing their weight.

"Ha! Speed up!"

"Infinite Magic," looking half-asleep, casually lifted his wrinkled sleeves and, though drowsy, continued chanting in a low voice with surprising speed:

"High Tier Agility Boost!"

Layers of magical light once again emanated from everyone present.

The next moment.

--Whoosh!

As soon as they moved, a vortex of air rose from the ground, and they instantly disappeared from their original spot, transforming into black arrows that sped towards the Great Forest of Tob.

Within the [Black Scripture], there are two Magic Caster have entered the "Hero Realm" and also possess the magical means of "Teleportation".

Using Teleportation magic seems much more convenient!

However.

Teleportation techniques require the caster to have previously visited the destination before they can be directly Teleportation there. If there is no precise location, the caster can only move in a general direction.

With so many people present, even if two people possessed Teleportation magic and could Teleportation everyone to their destination in one go, it would still consume a significant amount of magic power.

Even by horse-drawn carriage, it takes most of the day to travel from "Ye Lantier" to the Great Forest of Tob!

With the help of magic, God-kin Captain and his group arrived at the edge of the forest in less than 20 minutes!

"Lady Kaire."

God-kin Captain stood with his feet firmly planted on the decaying leaves, his sharp gaze sweeping across the dense, inky forest ahead. He turned his head, asking inquiringly, "Do we need a short rest?"

"Heh heh." A smile forced a smile across the wrinkled face of Kerry old man, a bead of sweat appearing on his forehead. He shook his head slightly.

"The old woman is old, but she's not at the point where she needs to rest after walking such a short distance."

"The Catastrophe Dragon Lord has just awakened. To prevent further chaos and unnecessary consequences, the sooner we resolve this, the better."

She was once a figure who stepped into the "Hero Realm," but with age and declining physical strength, her power was no longer what it used to be.

I am indeed a little tired.

The impact was minimal, and besides, there was no need for this old woman to fight.

The old man, Kerry, gently stroked the golden, mysterious striped cheongsam-style True Divine Artifact with his rough, aged hands, a deep worry flashing in the depths of his eyes.

The existence of "Godkin" is the ultimate power protecting humanity within the Theocracy. These Godkin, who have inherited the Six Great Gods' Bloodline and reverted to their ancestral state, have transcended the realm of "strength."

So!

The Theocracy has kept all information about the Godkin under wraps, because if this information were to leak, it could lead to dire consequences and a battle with the remaining True Dragon Lord.

Furthermore, even Theocracy could be affected and destroyed as a result, and humanity would face annihilation!

"The premature resurgence of the Catastrophe Dragon Lord has already had an impact. It's fine if it only circulates within the Kingdom, but if the Council State notice it..."

Old Man Kerry tensed up, silently thinking, "This mission to capture the Catastrophe Dragon Lord while carrying True Divine Artifact... I hope I'm just overthinking it."

In short!

The faster the Catastrophe Dragon Lord is dealt with, the lower the risk.

Seeing that Lady Kaire was unharmed, God-kin Captain chuckled, nodded, and waved his arm, preparing to set off again.

"Captain." The "Four Elements" hesitated briefly, then suddenly spoke up nervously.

"Kindness?"

The God-kin Captain was clearly surprised. His red pupils darted around in the darkness as he looked at the "Four Elements." He didn't ask any questions, but simply stared at them in silence.

The others all showed varying degrees of surprise, and even more so, they were puzzled, wondering why their usually taciturn companion, the "Four Elements," would speak up at this moment.

"Oh dear~" Clementine peeked out from her robes, one finger gently fiddling with a button, her gaze fixed on the "Four Elements" with a curious and intriguing expression:

"Is there any operation on the other side, sir? Why am I unaware of it?"

Facing the gazes of many.

Beads of sweat trickled down the foreheads of the "Four Elements," especially the gaze of the God-kin Captain, which made him feel somewhat terrified.

but.

The thought that even the Zesshi Zetsumei master had been defeated by that man instantly lessened the pressure in her heart.

"That's right, Captain."

The "Four Elements" bowed respectfully, lowering their heads slightly to conceal the panic in their eyes:

"Information provided by ' Thousand Miles Astrologer ' and the Kingdom's punitive forces indicates that the Catastrophe Dragon Lord has not yet fully recovered."

"The true strength and abilities of the Catastrophe Dragon Lord are unknown. Personally, I think it might be necessary to leave a member on the perimeter as backup or in case of unforeseen circumstances."

Upon hearing this,

"Thousand Miles Astrologer" raised her finger and pressed it against her eye socket. She thought it was a good idea, glancing at the captain's position out of the corner of her eye.

However, the captain has the final say on this matter!

"Proceed as planned..."

The God-kin Captain spoke coldly, a hint of disdain flashing across his face. He had no interest in making any pointless arrangements.

The Catastrophe Dragon Lord is a worthy opponent and worth challenging; moreover, with the existence of True Divine Artifact, there is virtually no possibility of defeat.

"Extra arrangements...?"

An aged yet gentle voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the God-kin Captain: "A cautious approach."

"Lady Kaire?" God-kin Captain.

"What do you think?" the old man, Kerry, asked softly with a Black Scripture.

"In that case, let's leave one member to guard the perimeter." The God-kin Captain frowned, slightly annoyed, and said, "The Four Elements."

Even if you think it's a trivial matter!

God-kin Captain still made the most reasonable arrangement; the only three members of the entire [Black Scripture] had the highest mobility.

"The Four Elements", "Infinite Magic", "Heaven and Earth"

The first two possess Teleportation magic, while the latter is a pure assassin-type powerhouse. However, if an unexpected situation arises, the two who possess Teleportation magic will have more ways to deal with it!

"Infinite Magic"?

Given this lazy companion's personality, he would definitely choose to slack off if no one else was around.

Of the three, only the "Four Elements" are the most suitable.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The group God-kin Captain disappeared into the forest, leaving only the "Four Elements" to guard the outer perimeter of the Great Forest of Tob.

Until everyone's figures completely disappeared from our perception.

"Phew, thankfully there were no mistakes." The tense nerves of the "Four Elements" relaxed, a bitter smile appeared on the middle-aged man's gloomy face, and he let out a deep breath.

Why did you make this arrangement, sir?

The "Four Elements" murmured to themselves, somewhat unable to comprehend it.

Within the forest.

The crisp sound of dry branches rubbing and shaking against leaves was drowned out by the occasional chirping of insects and the roars of wild animals.

Fluttering~

A bird the size of a sparrow, completely blending into the night, glides between the trees, stopping every so often after flying a certain distance.

"The Death Omen Sparrow!"

Monster Summoning by Second-Tier monsters.

It has no demonic aura and is just like an ordinary bird. It is very fragile, but it can keep up with the caster's vision.

Abelion Hills.

Deep within, starlight twinkles.

Tang Zheng felt the cool breeze in the valley, his eyes slightly closed, leaning back on a makeshift wooden chair, quietly observing.

The "Death Omen Sparrow" was not summoned by him, but by his Shadow Clone Shadow Clone, who wasn't even by his side.

Instead, they deliberately Teleportation to the border of humanity.

The Death Omen Sparrow first transmits the scene it sees to its Shadow Clone, which then transmits Shadow Clone scene to Tang Zheng, forming a completely independent, one-way connection!

While long-range detection magic like "Clairvoyance" is useful, it is easily affected by anti-detection magic, and can even be detected.

This method is safer!

Tang Zheng was not on guard against the Theocracy.

The [Black Scripture] group alone posed no threat to him. If he wished, he could single-handedly crush this top-tier covert force at any time.

What Tang Zheng was concerned about was whether the premature revival of the Evil Tree had attracted the attention of the Platinum Dragon Lord from the Council State.

Given the Platinum Dragon Lord's personality.

It's highly likely that after realizing the Theocracy has deployed the [Black Scripture], they will observe it from the shadows, just like in the original story.

The Platinum Dragon Lord probably doesn't know much about the Godkin.

With the help of the revival of the Evil Tree.

This is clearly a good opportunity to observe information about "Godkin" and other related matters.

Tang Zheng didn't believe the Platinum Dragon Lord didn't want to get his hands on things like the Six Great Gods' Legacy and the World Item "Downfall of Castle and Country."

only.

This might be due to some kind of agreement reached with the Theocracy and the "God of Death" Surshana, or perhaps limited intelligence prevented the Platinum Dragon Lord from taking any rash actions.

"Hopefully my luck won't be too bad," Tang Zheng muttered to himself as he observed.

--Early morning.

5:21.

A sliver of white light appeared on the eastern horizon.

God-kin Captain and his group have arrived at the "Forest Great Rift," a region deep in the northern part of the Great Forest of Tob that has been transformed into wasteland.

On this ground filled with the ruins of withered trees, there are dense, huge craters, the battle marks left by Enri and the others as they resisted the attack of the Evil Tree.

"Each of these marks is at least a hundred meters long."

A burly man covered in white hair, codenamed "Strongest Human," wielded a massive black axe taller than himself, and gazed intently at the battle scars.

"To be able to withstand such power is truly remarkable... it probably goes beyond just 'remarkable'."

This praise was clearly directed at Enri, and "Thousand Miles Astrologer" had already informed everyone present of everything that had happened there.

The rest of the members, looking at the remnants of the battle, fell silent or pondered, clearly immersing themselves in the battle and deducing its outcome.

"The Kingdom is so corrupt, yet it has encountered one unexpected change after another." Old man Kerry sighed, his hands behind his back and his upper body hunched.

Anyone with eyes can see that.

The rise of the Baharuth Empire was inevitable, and now the Kingdom has produced three Adamantite Rank adventurer teams, who have achieved a great victory in this battle.

This result.

This is not what the Theocracy wants to see!

Old man Kerry shook his head. These troublesome matters are for those Cardinal to worry about; the important thing now is the matter at hand.

"Thousand Miles Astrologer!" said the old man Kerry.

"Yes, Lady Kaire — 'Life Detection, High Intensity'!"

The half-rimmed glasses on "Thousand Miles Astrologer" nose emitted a pale pink glow, quickly locking onto a spot in front of them:

"The Catastrophe Dragon Lord wasn't fully revived there, so its activity period was short; there are signs of life there."

Swish! Swish!

The crowd quickly dispersed, surrounding and protecting the elderly man Kerry in the center, their eyes fixed on him.

"The Catastrophe Dragon Lord... then let me see just how powerful you really are?"

The God-kin Captain twisted his neck, raised the somewhat worn-out Lancer in his hand, and his red pupils gleamed with fiery excitement:

"Shouldn't we just attack that spot?"

"Yes, Captain." "Zhan Xing Qian Li" replied respectfully, his right hand tightly gripping the pink handbag containing magical items, and he spoke cautiously:

"The magical item you possess can devastate magical sealing effects; it should be able to Catastrophe Dragon Lord."

"Well... as for the specific effects, I cannot judge."

"Is that so?" The God-kin Captain smiled indifferently, his sharp gaze suddenly narrowing. He raised his right arm, gripping the Lancer in a reverse grip, while the ring on his left hand emitted a glow.

"Magic Destruction"

"Full-Power Throw"

The light from the magic ring enveloped the entire Lancer, and then the dilapidated Lancer transformed into a dark red streak of light, flying towards the location indicated by "Thousand Miles Astrologer".

Everyone present immediately went on alert, waiting for the Catastrophe Dragon Lord to be forcibly revived.

However!

The next moment.

A Silver-White Spear suddenly flew from a distance and collided with the Lancer that the God-kin Captain had just thrown.

Thump!

A loud bang was heard in the air.

Both Lancer were simultaneously knocked back by the recoil. The silver-white spear returned to the direction from which it had come, while the old Lancer fell to the ground, its shaft trembling and humming.

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned!
