Often, the Dark Creatures of the dark world rely on their ability to shatter and split without dying, forcibly passing through unstable Space Fissure.

Currently, a group of mages from the Magic Guild are constructing a sealing array around the Darkness Gate, which has caused spatial distortions near the Teleportation Portal, resulting in the appearance of Space Fissure around the Darkness Gate.

Creatures from the dark world constantly emerge from unstable Space Fissure, and those that initially enter become extremely weak.

Many Dark Creatures didn't even have time to leave the Goddess of Freedom Temple before they were melted away by the sacred aura that filled the Goddess of Freedom Temple...

After leaving their original world, these Dark Creatures often possess certain hosts before becoming powerful beings.

Their way of absorbing power during their growth is also very special. They like to absorb a lot of negative emotions from their hosts, such as hatred, resentment, pain, extreme emotions, greed, and anger. Once these negative emotions grow in the host's heart, the Dark Creatures possessing the host will continue to grow stronger until it becomes stronger than the host. Then it will immediately crawl out of the host's body and devour the host.

These Dark Creatures that slipped out of the Darkness Gate have always been the responsibility of the Priest of the Goddess of Freedom Temple in Gorfito Canyon to eliminate them.

But now that the Priest have left the Gorfito Canyon, the Goddess of Freedom Temple has been occupied by the priests of the Moon God Temple, so the priests of the Moon God Temple must purge these Dark Creatures from the temple.

Unfortunately, the Priest of the Moon God Temple are currently planning to build the Moon Well and have no time to deal with these weak Dark Creatures that have slipped out from the distorted Space Fissure.

This is why these Dark Creatures keep appearing in the Gorfito Canyon, and many Silver Moon Elf Warrior have been tainted by this dark aura.

The atmosphere in the Gorfito Canyon became somewhat eerie, and the emotions of many Silver Moon Elf Warrior grew increasingly unstable...

Arguments and fights frequently occur in the camp.

More Silver Moon Elf Warrior began to complain about the terrible environment. They were in a bad mood and often wanted to leave while chatting.

When Roy was learning divine magic in the stone chamber on the mountainside, he could clearly feel that the Goddess of Freedom Temple was filled with a large amount of magical energy.

These powerful magical auras are the magical fluctuations generated by the magic mages of the Magic Guild working together to build a sealing array. Each wave of magic will have a certain impact on the Darkness Gate.

This directly caused the Space Fissure of the Darkness Gate to become extremely unstable, and dark energy permeated the Gorfito Canyon.

Commander Malthus held meetings in the Main Hall hall of the Goddess of Freedom Temple almost every day, but Roy only went to listen occasionally because he was not well-liked by the Silver Moon Elf Officer.

Even so, he learned from the group of mages that the Darkness Gate built in the Goddess of Freedom Temple was on the verge of collapse under the impact of the sealing array's magical tide. The mages were worried that the subsequent construction of the sealing array would completely destroy the Darkness Gate.

The Darkness Gate is currently transforming into One-Way Teleportation Gate. In other words, if a way isn't found to stabilize the Darkness Gate Darkness Gate, it won't be long before it becomes a One-Way Teleportation Gate from the Dark Land to the Elf Continent.

This situation is even more terrifying than the complete collapse of the Darkness Gate...

However, if the Darkness Gate were to collapse, it would inevitably trigger a spatial storm.

According to a high mage, a plane known as ' Rufiji ' by the elves, which is rich in Magic Crystal, is currently being ravaged by a spatial storm. A huge void vortex has appeared on that plane, and all matter on the entire plane is being continuously sucked into the void vortex. In about fifty years, the plane of Rufiji will cease to exist.

If the unstable rifts in the Darkness Gate continue to spread, they could trigger a spatial storm.

The elven archmages in the Goddess of Freedom Temple and the High Priest of the Moon God Temple realized that the Darkness Gate in the Gorfito Canyon was becoming increasingly unstable, and the sealing array, which had been built with a large amount of magical materials, had to be suspended.

And from those unstable Space Fissure that appear around the Darkness Gate, some dark aura always emanates.

If there were a Moon Well in the back garden of the Goddess of Freedom Temple at this moment, it would probably be able to completely suppress the dark aura of the Space Fissure...

However, this Moon Well Moon Well has only appeared on parchment so far, and it is unlikely that it can be built at present.

Left with no other option, the High Priest of the Moon God Temple had to personally summon a beam of moonlight to temporarily purify the ever-spreading darkness within the courtyard...

Even so, many Silver Moon Elf Warrior were affected by the dark aura, but as long as they rested for a while in the courtyard in front of the Goddess of Freedom Temple, their negative emotions would gradually be dispelled by the holy aura.

The Second Silver Pegasus Knight Regiment were a special case. The Silver Pegasus Knights had almost never been to the Goddess of Freedom Temple, yet they were not affected by the aura of the Dark Creatures.

During this period, Roy hid in a stone chamber in the mountainside, immersing himself in learning the divine magic carved on the stone walls.

He learned the divine spells ' Holy Light Bullet ' and ' Hammer of Wrath ' in just two months.

In the past two months, Roy has successfully broken through the bottleneck three times and advanced to the rank of 13th-level High Priest.

The Sacred Tree within his body swelled to over twenty meters tall. Each time it appeared behind Roy in phantom form, the entire tree radiated a sacred aura, like a Ginkgo Tree in autumn. With each tremor of its Light Flower, a rich sacred aura would emanate from their stamens.

Roy discovered that although he had initially learned some Blessing Divine Magic, he had also learned four Judgment Divine Magic in one go.

He has now taken solid steps toward becoming a ' Combat Priest '...

Roy yawned and hid at the back of a group of Elf Officer in the Main Hall hall, secretly peeling a bright orange orange.

The moment Roy peeled the orange, its rich, sweet and sour aroma immediately filled the air, attracting the attention of several Silver Moon Elf Officer who turned to look in Roy direction...

Roy quickly stuffed the peeled orange into his mouth, then covered his mouth and gave the Silver Moon Elf Officer around him an apologetic smile.

After the Silver Moon Elf Officer turned their heads away, Roy secretly took out a sweet orange from his pocket.

At this moment, a Silver Moon Elf Archmage on the high platform of the Main Hall hall spoke up, "I apologize, but when we initially created the magic matrix, we did not take into account the strength of the Darkness Gate itself. As a result, during the construction of the sealing array, the fluctuation of the magic tide caused the Darkness Gate to collapse. Now the sealing array has to be suspended."

"Because the Darkness Gate has become very unstable, numerous Darkness Gate Space Fissure have appeared around it, and some Dark Creatures have poured into the Gorfito Canyon through these Space Fissure."

"We, the Magic Guild and the Moon God Temple, will work together to deal with these Dark Creatures."

"However, since the Darkness Gate cannot be sealed, we need to find other ways to control Darkness Gate. Does anyone have any good suggestions?"

A high High Priest of the Moon God Temple, standing opposite the archmage, rose from his seat, coughed, and said, "Our Moon God Temple plans to build a Moon Well in the back garden of the Goddess of Freedom Temple, but this can only be the last line of defense. Until the Priest of the Goddess of Freedom Temple leave Gorfito Canyon, the Darkness Gate will remain in their hands."

"What I mean is that in the Dark Land, the control of the Darkness Gate is also in the hands of the Priest of the Goddess of Freedom Temple."

"Therefore, our Moon God Temple suggests that we find a way to repair the Darkness Gate and reopen Darkness Gate, so that we can regain control of Darkness Gate."

The Moon God Temple High Priest's remarks immediately drew gasps of surprise from the Main Hall hall.

The Elf Officer seemed somewhat at a loss. The Darkness Gate was currently closed and on the verge of collapse, but the Elf Warrior had not yet directly confronted the Dark Creatures and did not need to fight them.

But once the Darkness Gate is reopened... wouldn't that mean the Silver Moon Elf army will have to directly confront the creatures of the Dark World? This High Priest of the Moon God Temple also wants to control the entire Darkness Gate, which means the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom will have to send a permanent army to the Dark Land. That's the most critical issue. Currently, the elven army in Gorfito Canyon might even have the opportunity to enter the Dark Land for garrisoning...

The Elf Warrior are already in a difficult situation in the Gorfito Canyon, and many Elf Officer don't even dare to think about entering the Dark Land.

Roy frowned upon hearing the Moon God Temple High Priest's words.

Unexpectedly, despite the combined efforts of the Magic Guild and the Moon God Temple for so long, the first plan to seal the Teleportation Portal ended in failure.

The Magic Guild and the Moon God Temple have now decided to drag the Silver Moon Elf military into this, clearly indicating that they need the Silver Moon Elf military to send more troops to the Dark Land...

This is indeed a very troublesome matter! The highest-ranking officer sent by the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom to coordinate the various elven armies in the Gorfito Canyon is Legion Commander Gabreles. This Silver Moon Elf Legion Commander is not usually very noticeable; he usually sits quietly in the chair in the middle of the high platform.

He had never participated in the debate between the magicians and the priests of the Moon God Temple, because he didn't want to offend either side.

The Magic Guild and the Moon God Temple are currently unable to resolve the issue of sealing the Darkness Gate Portal, and have had no choice but to pass the buck to the Silver Moon Elf military.

"But wasn't the Darkness Gate completely blocked on the other side of the Dark Land? Given this situation, what methods do we have to enter the Dark Land?" Legion Commander Gabreles, sitting in his chair, pondered for a moment, then spread his hands and asked the Archmage of the Magic Guild and the High Priest of the Moon God Temple at the same time.

The Legion Commander Gabreles had some gray in his sideburns and looked like an older Silver Moon Elf. He had a high prestige in the military, otherwise he would not have become the Legion Commander of the Gorfito garrison.

The archmage of the Magic Guild seemed to have had some ideas about this for a while.

He took a step forward and said, "If we can contact the Priest of the Goddess of Freedom Temple in the Dark World and tell them about the situation of the Darkness Gate on the Elf Continent, we can ask them to open the sealed Darkness Gate so that our troops can enter the Dark Land!"

"..."

The Main Hall hall immediately fell silent.

"Even if we don't contact them proactively, as long as we wait a while longer, until the Darkness Gate is in more serious condition, the Priest of the Goddess of Freedom Temple guarding the Dark Land will probably find out. At that time, they will still have to open the Darkness Gate, and the repair work may be several times more difficult..." the Archmage of the Magic Guild continued.

"But what means do we have to contact the Priest of the Dark Land?" Legion Commander Gabreles asked, his voice steady and gentle.

The High Priest of the Moon God Temple took half a step forward and said, "I can ask the Goddess to send down a beam of moonlight, so that this moonlight can shine through the Darkness Gate and into the Dark Land..."

The second plan was thus decided. Roy finished eating the oranges he had brought and leaned against the wall of the temple's main hall, enjoying a ray of sunlight streaming in from the window.

Commander Malthus quietly retreated from the front to the back.

He walked out of the Main Hall, and Roy followed him out. The two stood in a corridor. Commander Malthus sat on a bench in the corridor and sighed softly, saying, "I thought that after the Magic Guild's sealing array was completed, the garrison in Gorfito Canyon would withdraw in batches. Now it seems that the garrison in Gorfito may not withdraw easily. They may have to stay for their full term before they are rotated out!"

Roy only realized the problem after hearing what Commander Malthus said.

"So how long do troops typically stay on the garrison before they are transferred?" Roy asked curiously.

"Generally, it takes three years, but in some special places it may be extended to five years!" Commander Malthus said in a low voice.

Roy covered his mouth and exclaimed softly, "It's taking this long!"

Commander Malthus nodded with some concern, then looked towards the entrance to the Main Hall hall and whispered to Roy:

"Let's go, we can't stay outside for too long. The situation here isn't looking good lately, and if we get caught, we might get a demerit!"

After saying that, he led Roy back to the Main Hall hall.

Inside the hall, the Archmage of the Magic Guild and the High Priest of the Moon God Temple had begun to determine the specific time to use the Great Moonlight Spell to contact the Priest of the Dark Land.

Roy was actually quite curious about how the Great Moonlight Spell was cast, but unfortunately, Roy's level was not high enough, and as a Half-Elf captain, he was not qualified to enter the back garden of the Goddess of Freedom Temple.

The Darkness Gate was nowhere to be seen, nor was the High Priest of the Moon God Temple casting the Great Moonlight Spell.

After the meeting, Roy could only say goodbye to Commander Malthus before leaving through the forecourt of the Goddess of Freedom Temple and returning to the camp of the Second Silver Pegasus Knight Regiment.

That evening, as Roy sat in a wicker chair at the entrance of his tent to cool off, he suddenly felt himself plunged into endless darkness. Then, in the darkness, a very conspicuous beam of moonlight descended from the sky and fell into the Goddess of Freedom Temple ...
