The exploration ended for now

The Sea.

A term that existed only in Record for the residents of City of Silver has finally become real and something that is right before their eyes.

The dense clouds, illuminated by the Twilight, displayed a variety of magnificent colors, stretching and swirling like strange, colossal beasts. Below them, the boundless, deep blue Tide gently surged, emitting a melodious lapping sound. That majestic blue expanse, like Abyss, forcefully drew everyone's gaze, making it impossible to look away.

Before entering the Giant King’s Court, this group of people had never even seen ordinary Daytime, let alone such a magnificent natural wonder.

"So beautiful..."

"[The Sun] "Derrick heard a companion beside him mutter absentmindedly.

But soon, some doubts crept into that praise.

"Huh? What's that?"

One of the members asked curiously, stretching out his hand and pointing to a certain area of dark blue.

That was the waters closer to the Royal City, or rather, almost at the bottom of the cliffs leading to the Royal City. There, several strange "boxes" were moored, floating on the surface of the sea, with poles attached to them, and a huge piece of white cloth tied to the poles.

"That looks like... a ship?"

One of the team members said uncertainly, "I think I've seen this in the encyclopedia before..." "No mistake, it's a ship, the ship of those outsiders!"

Joshua, his face flushed with excitement, shouted, "It was them! They brought little Jack into our continent!"

The crowd's eyes lit up with eagerness. If outsiders could come by boat, could they also travel by boat to the Land of Light, still bathed in the Lord's glory?

"Wrong."

Above the Tide, Luther squinted at the Ships and shook his head almost imperceptibly.

Little Jack was on a single ship, but before him was Fleet of more than a dozen ships. Moreover, many of the ships showed signs of recent life, as if people had been on them just a few days ago.

Combined with the blood-red patterns painted on the sailboat, he was certain that this was Pilgrim Fleet composed of the remnants of the Aurora Order.

There was no one left on the ship. Had they successfully passed through the Royal City and entered the Forsaken Land of the Gods? Why didn't the City of Silver exploration team stationed at the "Giant King’s Court" notice them...? Could there be a miracle involved?

But just as everyone was gazing at the Sea and the Fleet on the Sea, a sudden change occurred.

"Buzz--"

One of the exploration team members suddenly burst into a dazzling Silver Light, then was torn apart by the light and exploded into countless fragments.

The Silver Light didn't stop; after dividing one target, it immediately created Storm of light that swept towards the entire squad! The team members didn't even see who the enemy was before they were hit by a barrage of powerful attacks! "Silver Knight?"

Above the Tide, Luther immediately recognized the abilities displayed by the enemy.

His eyes clearly saw that among the crowd was a Giant nearly five meters tall, wearing silver armor and carrying a broadsword. Behind the Giant's mask was an angry face, with a single vertical eye filled with hostility towards the intruder.

Most importantly, this Giant's body was vibrant and its Spirituality was stable; it was a living Giant!

However, the explorers of City of Silver could not see the enemy's true form at this moment. This was because the Giant had already reached Sequence 3, the "Silver Knight," and could blend into the light to hide his figure, while also possessing astonishing speed.

Under the relentless attacks of the Giant, the City of Silver exploration team could only catch their breath briefly thanks to the protection created by the chief.

So Luther made his move. He used Lovia's prayer to bring the light of the "Sunless Cross" to the scene, forcing the Giant to reveal its true form.

"How dare you trespass into the Royal Court and disturb Sasrir's peaceful slumber!"

As soon as the Giant appeared, he roared at the crowd.

His arm guards bear distinctive markings: a bright red band encircling his arm on the left and black patches on the right—a seemingly echo of the "Secrets Suppliant" path's Pathway on both the Flesh and shadow levels.

According to the Giant himself, he is the leader of the "Royal Court Pursuer," the "Light-Slayer" Mirgon, who followed the Giant King in his early years and later became the guardian of the "Dark Angel" Sasrir.

The first update is available at suduɡu. cc, with no typos. If you don't see the ". cc" suffix in the address, you can access the first update site. Mirgon's strength is astonishing, but he is still no match for the people of City of Silver under the watchful eyes of two gods.

After Luther and Klein took turns providing assistance and stalling for time, Chief Colin Iliad finally figured out why his opponent could survive beyond the reach of time, and ultimately broke the trap, winning the victory.

As spoils of war, they captured a valuable "Warrior" Pathway Sequence 3 Beyonder Characteristic, and the road leading directly to the Giant King's residence was laid bare before them.

Now, if they can get through that Tower, they might find a way to the Sea!

However, at this most crucial moment, Colin gave an order that went against everyone's wishes:

"Everyone, prepare to go back."

The battle against "Light-Slayer" Mirgon was undoubtedly a victory, but it was still a brutal one. Many were injured, and Elders Colin and Lovia suffered significant Spirituality depletion. The team was no longer able to continue, especially since they still planned to explore the dangerous Palace, which was suspected to be inhabited by sleeping Dark Angel.

Before leaving, Colin even sought the opinions of the two deities.

He was ostensibly asking Ms. Lovia and Derrick, but in reality, he was asking what the two people behind them thought.

"Go back and rest first, you're already quite alright."

Above the Tide, Luther nodded and spoke.

He thought for a moment, then plunged his hand into his head with a "plop," stirring vigorously. His fingers swirled and churned inside, eventually grasping at some illusory knowledge, which he then ripped out along with blood and other fragments, projecting this information stream into the water curtain. "This is the 'Silver Knight's' Potion recipe and Ritual. Since you've already obtained the Characteristic, I'll reward you with it."

Luther spoke to Lovia, feigning nonchalance.

The [Twilight Giant] card contains Potion and recipes for the entire "Warrior" Pathway, but this knowledge is not valuable to him. Chief Colin is currently only Sequence 4, and City of Silver has no recipes at a higher level, so now is a good opportunity for him to continue advancing.

The Main Ingredient for "Silver Knight" are: the essence of Aurmir's blood, or the heart of "Royal Court Pursuer", or the heart of "Royal Court Watcher".

Its auxiliary materials are: 300 ml of water contaminated by the power of death, one item worn or carried by a strong person of Sequence 3 or above in this Pathway (for armor, only one armor leaf is needed), one piece of amber sealed with an ancient insect, and one piece of paper Record one hundred of its own kill Record;

Its Advancement Ritual involves setting up an elaborate Altar, placing the remains of the six powerful creatures it has hunted in the correct positions, and receiving the blessing of Angel or higher.

With this formula, City of Silver's top combat power will reach Sequence 3 level!
