Chapter 1484 - Revelation (1/2)
The moment she spoke, the entire world seemed to quieten down.
Anna could even hear her heart beating.
She opened her mouth, but her voice didn’t seem to emit from her throat.
“But where else can we go?”
“…” The Guardian fell silent surprisingly.
“It appears you are also aware of the answer. Apart from this place, we have nowhere else to go.” Anna pumped herself up and carefully observed the Guardian. She looked identical to a human, and she spoke in standard Kingdom Language. With her sudden appearance, it was easy to guess her origins. “I’ve heard from Joan that you are trapped here. Have you never thought of leaving?”
“Miss Joan, is it…” The Guardian revealed a gentle smile. “It appears she has really brought the question back. But unfortunately, there is no true answer to the question.”
“But there are still people attempting to seek the answer, and she’s also one of your kind.”
“One of my kind?”
“I know you belong to the Realm of Mind—and there, there’s an Oracle named Lan who attempted to change everything,” Anna quickly explained her intent for being here. “Achieving the goal requires two conditions. One of them has been fulfilled, and I’ve come here with the person who can solve the second problem. All that’s left is to open the bridge of light and send him into the Realm of Mind—”
“I’m sorry. I do not know the Oracle you are talking about.” The Guardian shook her head and interrupted her. “In addition, to open the bridge, one has to insert a complete legacy into the bottomless platform before the Origin of Magic can be activated, allowing the bridge of light to appear. You do know a lot, but I’m unable to help you.”
“Wait!” Anna’s expression finally changed as she hurriedly said, “Aren’t you a receiver?”
“Yes, I am, but without the legacy, I’m helpless as well.” She walked to Anna’s side and gently touched her hair. “Leave this place, my child. Do it while you still have the time.”
The Guardian’s figure started fading away like she was about to disappear into thin air.
Anna reached out her hand in a bid to grab her, but she touched nothing.
“Finally, forget whatever you have heard—if a betraying Oracle really exists.” When she fully dissipated, her soft murmur sounded in Anna’s ears. “The Battle of Divine Will is an attempt to seek the answer. In such a long and vast answer-seeking process, there hasn’t been a conclusion, so how can it be resolved by a person or two? Besides, if he really possesses such strength, he naturally doesn’t need the bridge or key.”
Is this… the outcome of persisting to the end…
Anna lowered her head to look at her empty palm, unable to stop herself from being rooted to the ground in shock.
What was she to do next?
…
Nightingale felt that her actions were becoming smoother.
It was as though something was different.
She couldn’t exactly put it in words as to what the difference was, but she could sense the harmony within the Mist. The distorted lines in the past might have been usable by her, but they were like an extremely dangerous blade. She had to maintain intense focus to prevent herself from being injured.
But at that moment, this black-and-white world seemed docile like a lamb. It seemed to answer to her every request, and the process gave her a fully delightful experience.
In minutes, she had destroyed three Nest Mothers, but the enemies had failed to even touch the corner of her sleeves.
In terms of her battle accomplishments, even Silent Disaster, who was considered a Transcendent, didn’t even perform as well as she did.
This pleased Nightingale.
The only thing that left her uncomfortable was the sticky liquid that clung onto her. She could avoid her opponents’ sharp claws and tentacles, but she was unable to isolate herself from the putrid organs. This was also the cost of going deep into the Nest Mothers to strike at their weaknesses.
If it were Anna, she would have easily burnt these disgusting things clean, right?
With this in mind, she couldn’t help but look towards where Anna was standing.
But at that instant, she instantly shuddered in fear.
