Chapter 3976 The Song of the Purple Moon (27)
This is a dynamic world... While [Coribus] in front of the temple is doing some kind of crazy thing, Gazef and [Caesar] on the other side are also locked in a fierce battle—at least that's how it appears.
In fact, Gazef had already carefully assessed the opponent's strength, but he was still amazed by Caesar's strength... Although there were five of the Four Knights of the Holy Revelation, each of them was the most powerful knight by the princess's side.
Each of the Four Knights of the Holy Revelation possesses a terrifying record within the Holy Demon Empire... all accumulated through countless perilous battles.
He had simply come to this place, which was like a beginner or intermediate level map, with the princess. While wandering around, he encountered an opponent who was evenly matched with him under normal circumstances. Such a probability was not impossible in the void, but it was too much of a coincidence, wasn't it?
“I say, how about we stop again?” Gerdoff said again.
It wasn't out of concern for the other party's unfathomable strength, but simply because there was no need to be wary.
He only needed to complete the tasks assigned by Claude; there was no need for him to do anything more—although the opponent's strength also gave him a sense of excitement.
However, this is clearly not the time to let him do whatever he wants.
Caesar merely chuckled coldly and said indifferently, "Are you really a knight? You don't seem like one; you're more like a thief."
Gazef simply shrugged, showing no anger whatsoever, and said, "You're absolutely right. Before becoming a knight, I did strive to become the greatest thief, and even now, I still harbor the ambition to become a great thief."
"..."
What else could Caesar say? He launched a surprise attack and slashed at the target with his sword.
Gerdov calmly parried, not going all out... He could tell that his opponent was doing the same—despite the impressive display of their fighting, neither of them had any truly lethal moves.
He couldn't even sense the slightest bit of killing intent when Caesar attacked him.
Is this guy deliberately stalling me?
Could he be with the group of people who appeared in front of the temple?
While he was still having doubts, Gazef seemed to be a beat too slow, which gave [Caesar] the opportunity to activate the [Twilight Carnival] ability!
An extremely terrifying aura instantly enveloped Gazef... Sensing the power contained within this aura, Gazef's expression changed drastically!
Almost the instant the vortex of the "Twilight Carnival" appeared, Gazef roared in fury!
His golden armor instantly burst forth with dazzling light, and his figure accelerated like a ray of light, quickly breaking free from the vortex's pull.
"You reacted pretty quickly," Caesar said calmly.
Gazef took a deep breath, staring at the terrifying vortex with suspicion and uncertainty. His expression became extremely solemn. "[Eternal Divine Art]... To use such a method against me, you are truly hospitable! However... this [Eternal Divine Art] seems incomplete?"
If it were a true [Eternal Divine Art], I probably wouldn't have had a chance to react at all, and would have been pulled into the vortex long ago.
[Caesar] glanced at Gazef with apparent approval, "Your insight is quite good... Indeed, [Twilight Carnival]'s ability is incomplete. Currently, it only possesses less than one-tenth of its power, but since you managed to escape, I'll reluctantly give you a [Good] rating."
"Just 'Good'?" A bead of cold sweat trickled down Gazef's temple. He forced himself to remain calm, even speaking in a relaxed tone: "Heh, I thought I could at least get an 'Excellent' grade. Looks like my training isn't enough!"
At the same time, Gazef couldn't help but roll his eyes... What a load of rubbish, less than a tenth of his power, huh? You really are someone who gives himself an identity, right?
“My standards for ‘excellent’ are very high,” Caesar said calmly. “‘Good’… is already a very high rating for you.”
Gerdoff couldn't help but give a wry smile. "So it seems we can't just let this go today?"
Caesar said expressionlessly, "Didn't you attack me first?"
Gerdoff couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.
In all honesty, when he was wandering around this abandoned capital, he noticed the other party's suspicious behavior and, out of curiosity, decided to test the waters a little... Who knew that such a formidable person would appear on this map?
He really only touched it once, who knew it would turn into this situation... and then they confronted each other—which led to the scene that [Gold] Shaq saw when he rushed out of the temple.
Gerdrey composed himself: "It's the same old story: the one who starts it is the one who's wicked, and they'll be killed without complaint. Everyone in the Void has to accept this principle... There's no such thing as innocence."
“Alright.” Gazef sighed. “Since you’ve even brought out the [Eternal Divine Art], showing me such high regard… I can’t leave without showing some appreciation.”
After saying that, Gazef suddenly raised the two-handed greatsword in his hand, but made no attempt to attack.
[Caesar] At this moment, he rested one hand on his waist, tilted his head slightly, and stood calmly in the air, observing Gazef's movements.
“You’re quite the gentleman,” Gazef chuckled. “I apologize for my previous offense… Well then, here’s my apology gift!”
Gazef swiftly pulled a key-shaped pendant from his collar and quickly inserted it into the hilt of his knight's greatsword.
The next moment, the blade of the knight's greatsword was completely disassembled... The detached blade fell directly into the ground and disappeared instantly, while Gazef held the remaining hilt with both hands and slowly placed it in front of his chest.
“Since you have brought out the [Eternal Divine Art], then I have no choice but to bring out my trump card as well.” Gazef was gathering his strength.
A faint light, resembling an earthworm, was generated within the sword guard and rapidly grew, transforming in the blink of an eye into a light blade even larger than the previous one.
Caesar glanced at it and suddenly said, "It looks like a decent Void artifact."
“The divine artifact [Klau Solas]…” Gazef chuckled, “Of course, it also has a rather common name, [The Sword of Light]!”
"Hmm...it's a decent [Willpower] weapon." [Caesar] nodded slightly, then, as if remembering something, suddenly said, "Your sword is indeed quite good. Give it to me, and we'll leave today's matter..."
Stopped abruptly.
Both of them frowned at the same time.
This is because an ominous sound is currently echoing throughout the entire temple space... This sound seems to be everywhere, specifically attacking the mind and will, causing great pollution!
Because he had activated the sword [Klaus Solas], Gazef was empowered by the divine sword's power, making him extremely resistant to this kind of mental pollution. Therefore, he only experienced a slight headache.
Caesar, on the other hand, only felt slightly uncomfortable in the face of such terrifying mental pollution before returning to normal... no, although he initially gave it a high assessment, it seems he still underestimated it?
After all, the source of this kind of spiritual pollution...
Indeed, the moment this mental pollution appeared, Gazef knew its origin... and even the faint, terrifying aura that began to emerge in the temple space at this moment confirmed his guess!
"Why...why are there such disgusting things as the [Old Ones] here?!" Gazef couldn't help but take a deep breath, his expression becoming extremely solemn!
Moreover, this somber atmosphere intensified once again!
The ground of the abandoned capital city beneath the temple began to tremble and crack violently, and then enormous suction cup tentacles rose from the ground at an alarming speed!
The giant tentacles trembled incessantly, resembling a forest of tentacles. The suckers on them were like some indescribable organs, constantly contracting and wriggling, and even secreting strange fluids!
But just this kind of image is enough to cause physical discomfort!
"It really is!" Gazef took a deep breath, still unable to hide his panic. "[The Great Old Ones]... Why would something like this appear in this place?!"
Caesar suddenly said, "It seems you really don't know anything."
“What…did you say?” Gerdoff frowned instinctively.
Caesar said calmly, "I admire you. You dared to barge in without knowing anything... Fine, I'll tell you. The dilapidated ancient capital you're in now was once called... the City of R'lyeh."
“R'lyeh…R'lyeh?” Gazef frowned even more deeply, feeling as if he had heard the name somewhere before!
At this moment, he began to think again about that guy among the Four Horsemen who called himself the Scholar...
"Now that it's awake, it probably won't need me anymore..."
These words were not spoken to Gerdoff, but rather seemed more like Caesar's own monologue.
No sooner had he finished speaking than [Caesar] teleported to the vortex of [Twilight Carnival] in an instant, before Gazef could react, and plunged into it!
The vortex disappeared in the next moment!
"This guy!"
Gazef trembled with anger. "I've brought out my trump card, the Sword of Light, and you're just going to refuse to fight... You really won't let me get my revenge?!"
Before Gazef's resentment could grow, the Tentacle Forest that was growing wildly in the capital began to tremble even more violently... Countless giant tentacles were now attacking him!
"Luckily, I released the sword [Klau Solas] in advance, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!" Gazef gasped. The power of the [Sword of Light] could help him resist this terrifying mental pollution... it was a perfect match!
Looking at those tentacles, Gerdov felt a chill run down his spine.
—Hopefully, the [Old Ones] awakening underground are just third-rate characters!
"Wait, R'lyeh... could it be..."
Just then, Gazef's memories of his death began to resurface—some secrets that one of the Four Horsemen, the Scholar, had once shared with him at an afternoon tea party!
"The Lord of R'lyeh! The Sleeping God... the Great Cthulhu?!" Gazef swallowed instinctively, large beads of cold sweat dripping down his back. "I'm afraid I'm really going to die this time..."
……
On the other side of the vortex... in the 'world' of the [Twilight Garden Party].
This is a 'world' surrounded by darkness and chaos... The 'world' itself seems to be a giant amusement park!
However, a large portion of the amusement park was covered by thick black fog, leaving only a small area exposed.
The amusement park was filled with colorful lights, extremely magnificent, and many different kinds of puppets were walking around... They were not performing their respective duties, but rather it was as if they were holding a grand carnival.
Caesar's figure appeared in front of a giant carousel.
At this moment, on the carousel that kept spinning to the sound of music, sat three figures—the three treasure hunters, including [Blazing Sun] Morgan, who had been swallowed up by the [Twilight Carnival]!
Morgan and the others, sitting on the carousel, had strange... but happy smiles on their faces, as if they had suddenly returned to the purest innocence of childhood, and their behavior had become quite childish!
Even more bizarrely, as the carousel spun, Morgan and his companions' bodies seemed to gradually transform into the likenesses of the puppets at the amusement park...
"The speed is a bit slow," Caesar said calmly.
The next moment, the speed of the carousel doubled, and the eerie yet blissful laughter of Morgan and his companions became even more frequent.
"Wow, this place is so much fun!"
"I want to stay here for the rest of my life!!"
"La la la! I am the flying little white horse!"
Caesar nodded in satisfaction and then walked toward a huge tent in the center of the fair – another facility in the fair.
——【Amazing Circus】

……
……
……
The golden light blades kept swinging... The suction cup tentacles were extremely tough, but Ah Xi Ruo didn't intend to actually cut them off. Instead, she kept repelling these disgusting things that were surging in.
She had no idea what the City of R'lyeh was, but she instinctively felt a deep disgust for these sucker tentacles... to the point of being utterly repulsive.
To her surprise, these disgusting things didn't seem to be targeting her specifically, but rather attacking everyone indiscriminately.
Indeed, [Cornebusor] is currently dealing with these disgusting things as well!
"These disgusting things, weren't they your doing? Why are they attacking you?"
"Old woman, which eye of yours saw me do this?!" [Colibusser] still stubbornly insisted, "It was clearly your fault for misoperation, who's to blame? Hehehehe!"
Ah Xiruo's temple veins bulged into a cross shape... Apart from Su Zijun, she had never heard anyone dare to call her by such a nickname!
"This is so annoying..."
Shenzhou's true dragon has never been one to tolerate things... She's actually used to being domineering, and only that dog of a man can keep her in check in every way. Even when facing a heartless maid, she'd still dare to go for it even if she couldn't beat her, and she wouldn't suffer any loss at all!
External cheat... no, [Stigmata], activate!
The power of the title "Radiant Moon," which "Coribuso" had described as rather weak, suddenly materialized!
[Colibuso] I don't know how Ah Xi Ruo does it. She looks very fake, but she also has a real feeling... It's so contradictory!
Moreover, Ah Xi Ruo, who is now unleashing this terrifying power, is clearly about to attack her!
"What...what are you going to do?!" [Cornebusor] was immediately shocked.
A terrifying dragon's roar suddenly rang out, instantly dispelling the eerie sounds that could cause mental pollution... Not only that, even the wildly dancing forest of tentacles froze in mid-air!
Ah Xi Ruo violently appeared in front of [Kolibuso], reached out and tore through the layers of defense and primal water power that [Kolibuso] had stacked on herself, grabbed the pink-haired girl by the collar and lifted her up, then slapped her big buttocks several times without saying a word!
"I don't usually hit kids!" Ah Xiruo sneered, "But if a brat has a problem, he should get it treated properly!"
"You...you dare to hit me?" [Colibuso] was shocked.
clap clap clap!
"You...you hit me again!!"
clap clap clap! ! !
"I'll fight you to the death!!" [Cornebusor] screamed!
*Clap clap clap!* *Clap clap clap!* *Clap clap clap!*
"sorry!!!!"
clap clap clap! ! !
Seeing [Coribuso]'s cheeks swollen like a pig's head, the true dragon of Shenzhou felt a surge of pleasure... At the same time, Ah Xiruo couldn't help but mutter to herself!
—Damn it, what kind of baby is this? If it turned out to be a pink-haired one, wouldn't I be furious?!
—Don't have children!
"I've already apologized, why are you still hitting me?!"
"It's so easy to use..."
"This is so unfair..."
[Coribuso] broke through the defense directly and burst into tears on the spot. Her tears turned into teardrop-shaped crystals and poured down, covering the ground in no time!
—Last time I was scared to tears by Captain [Lo], this time… naturally I was beaten to tears.
Ah Xi Ruo looked at the tears that [Corybusch] had shed with surprise, and subconsciously felt that these things seemed to be quite valuable... She suddenly had the feeling of getting gold coins as a reward for defeating a monster.
*Smack... Smack smack smack smack!*
"I don't want to live anymore!!! Waa ...
Gold coins... oh, and even more teardrops are popping up.
