CHAPTER 1022: CHAPTER 530: DANCE BENEATH FATE

With Rod’s current abilities, he can vaguely see the faint light of the full moon.

This period happens to be Moon Day.

Every evening and night, Rod’s Eye of the Soul can see traces of moonlight through layers of black fog.

Olivia’s abilities are greatly enhanced during this time.

Her Moonlight Domain expands to a range of a thousand yards, and whenever she unfolds it, Rod feels as if he’s entered another world—a beautiful, crystalline world enveloped in moonlight.

In this world, Rod can clearly see a giant moon shadow moving within.

Holding a very long Moonlight Giant Sword, she steps gracefully, slaying monsters in perfect arcs.

Monsters below the Third Tier cannot withstand a single round against her.

Monsters above the Third Tier usually don’t survive beyond a quarter of an hour.

Only Fifth Tier monsters can slightly hinder the Moonlight Knight’s progress.

At those times, Olivia summons even more powerful moonlight.

They descend from the void, merging into the Moonlight Giant Sword.

With each absorption, the sword becomes even larger and brighter, and the moon shadow holding it grows more formidable.

The entire Moonlight Domain begins to burn.

In the end, the monsters are slain in the boiling moonlight.

Rod is both shocked and regretful.

Under the moonlight, Olivia is too powerful, making it hard for him to capture a whole soul.

The "Dark Devourer" needs to penetrate to a certain degree to seize a soul; relying solely on a final extraction often doesn’t secure the souls of many powerful monsters.

Moreover, due to his minimal contribution, he hasn’t acquired much divinity after clearing the remaining two areas.

Yet, Rod doesn’t mind, as the main focus of this journey is the Twin Divine Tower, the center of Sagus City, rumored to be the dwelling of the divine tower.

Previously cleared areas all relate to this ultimate goal.

Now, there are but few obstructions on the path to the divine tower.

However, in the following days, Olivia rests, seemingly guarding her post, but more importantly recovering her Spiritual Energy.

This is the biggest problem for Special Level Combatants—their spiritual energy is so vast it recovers slowly. Though they swiftly subdued two extremely dangerous areas, Olivia expended significant spiritual energy.

She is forced to sit by the fire and meditate for extended periods, recovering her spiritual energy and purifying her soul from the pollution caused by the backlash of monster kills.

In the final battle of Sagus City, she must be in peak condition.

These days, Rod leads Ye Feng and others to clear the remaining obstacles, trying to assist Professor Barrett and Professor Bins in uncovering more significant relics.

It’s worth mentioning that Rod’s efficiency is quite impressive.

He doesn’t fear pollution, recovering his spiritual energy extremely quickly, capable of restoring most of it with just sleep despite intense battles.

The plan was originally to clear several dozen smaller areas, but it was completed within a day.

At that point, there were five days left until the return date, with the black fog forecasts from the White Tower indicating that the route was clear, at least for now.

Thus, Rod began clearing areas of higher value.

In these battles, he unleashed a variety of tactics, either directly sending monsters into the Spirit Realm to be obliterated by unknown attacks or suddenly discovering their weaknesses and instantly devising highly strategic combat methods against them.

Furthermore, his explosive power is astonishing.

The "Red War God," an immensely strong force, can be utilized once per day, and occasionally twice.

Except for Fifth Tier monsters, no enemy can obstruct his progress.

Ye Feng is completely amazed.

Is this something a warrior from the Starfire Series can achieve? Why can’t I do it? Am I fake?

He felt envy, jealousy, and joy. Rod, just a newly appointed Guardian, already surpasses him in absolute combat strength.

Moreover, from the battles during this period, at times his intelligence is simply unimaginable—capable of quickly bypassing countless complex thoughts to pinpoint the ultimate answer.

A strong individual characterized by intelligence, combat skill, and potential—isn’t this the blessing of fire?

Initially, Ye Feng didn’t quite believe in Luo Weiya’s theory, finding his thoughts too optimistic, almost unrealistic.

But now, he believes.

Otherwise, there’s no explanation for Rod and his unprecedented string of victories.

Humanity is truly on the path to revival!

With this belief, Ye Feng goes all out to assist Rod in combat.

Vito and Riegel do likewise, accustomed to cooperating with Rod, one charging ahead, the other controlling the middle, always harmonizing perfectly, providing the greatest aid to Rod.

Additionally, after digesting humanity, Mephit has grown stronger; even without using her Soul Trait, she’s surrounded by cold mist, and tiny ice particles constantly fall around her, making her resemble a fierce goddess of Cold Ice.

No monster can withstand her ice coldness; they invariably freeze quickly.

Sometimes, she even personally enters the battlefield, using various forms of giant ice condensates as her weapons.
