Path of Light.

Chapter 579 580. Big Moonlight Technique
Oftentimes, the dark creatures in the dark world would rely on their ability to survive by breaking and splitting to force their way through unstable space cracks.

Currently, a group of mages from the Magic Guild are building a sealing array around the Dark Portal, which has caused the space near the portal to distort, and space cracks have appeared around the Dark Portal.

Creatures from the dark world constantly emerge from unstable spatial cracks. When they first come in, their bodies become extremely weak.

Many dark creatures didn't even have time to leave the Statue of Liberty before they were melted by the sacred aura that filled the Statue of Liberty...

After leaving their original world, these dark creatures like to possess some hosts before becoming powerful beings.

The way they absorb power during their growth stage is also very special. They like to absorb many negative emotions of the host, such as hatred, resentment, pain, extremes, greed, anger, etc. Once these negative emotions grow in the host's heart, the dark creatures possessed by the host will continue to grow stronger until they are stronger than the host. At that time, they will immediately drill out of the host's body and devour the host.

These dark creatures that sneaked out of the Dark Portal have always been eliminated by the priests of the Statue of Liberty in Golfito Canyon.

But now the priests have left Golfito Canyon, and the Statue of Liberty has been occupied by the priests of the Moon Temple, so the priests of the Moon Temple have to eliminate these dark creatures in the temple.

Unfortunately, the priests of the Moon Temple are currently planning to build the Moon Well and have no time to pay attention to these weak dark creatures that have slipped out from the twisted space cracks.

This is why these dark creatures continue to appear in the Golfito Canyon, and many Silver Moon Elf warriors are tainted with this dark aura.

The atmosphere in Golfito Canyon became a little strange, and the emotions of many Silver Moon Elf warriors became increasingly unstable...

There were often quarrels and fights in the camp.

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

……

When Roy was studying magic in the stone chamber on the mountain wall, he could clearly feel that the Statue of Liberty was filled with a large amount of magical energy.

These powerful magical auras are the fluctuations of magic power generated by the magic guild's magicians working together to build a sealing array. Each wave of magic will have a certain impact on the Dark Portal.

This directly caused the spatial rift of the Dark Portal to become extremely unstable, and the dark atmosphere spread into the Golfito Canyon.

Captain Malthus would go to the main hall of the Statue of Liberty to hold meetings almost every day. Since he was not well-liked by the Silver Moon Elf officers, Roy would only go to listen occasionally.

Even so, he learned from the group of magicians that under the impact of the magic tide of the sealing array, the Dark Portal built in the garden behind the Statue of Liberty was on the verge of collapse. The magicians were worried that the subsequent construction of the sealing array would completely destroy the Dark Portal.

The current Dark Portal is also transforming into a one-way portal. That is to say, if we don't find a way to stabilize the Dark Portal, it will soon become a one-way portal from the Dark Land to the Elf Continent.

This situation is even more terrible than the complete collapse of the Dark Portal...

However, if the Dark Portal collapses, it will inevitably cause a space storm.

According to a great magician, a plane rich in magic crystals, called "Rufiji" by the elves, is currently being ravaged by a space storm. A huge void vortex has appeared on that plane, and all matter on the entire plane is being sucked into the void vortex. In about fifty years, the Rufiji plane will no longer exist.

If the unstable cracks in the Dark Portal continue to spread, there is a risk of triggering a space storm.

The elven grand magician in the Statue of Liberty and the high priests of the Moon Temple realized that the Dark Portal in Golfito Canyon was becoming increasingly unstable, and the sealing array that had been built with a huge investment of magical materials had to be suspended.

And from those unstable space cracks that appear around the Dark Portal, there will always be some dark aura spreading out.

If there was a moon well in the back garden of the Statue of Liberty at this time, it would probably be able to completely suppress the dark aura of the space rift...

But this Moon Well has only appeared on parchment so far. It is not possible to build this Moon Well at the moment.

In desperation, the high priest of the Moon Temple could only personally draw a beam of moonlight to temporarily purify the dark aura that continued to spread in the courtyard with the power of moonlight...

But even so, many Silver Moon Elf warriors were affected by the dark aura. However, as long as they rested for a while in the courtyard in front of the Statue of Liberty, the negative emotions in their bodies would slowly be dispelled by the sacred aura.

The only special situation was that of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights. The Silver Pegasus Knights had almost never been to the vestibule of the Statue of Liberty, but they were not affected by the aura of the dark creatures.

During this period, Roy hid in a stone chamber on the mountain wall, concentrating on learning the magic spells engraved on the stone wall.

It took him only two months to learn the divine spells 'Holy Light Bullet' and 'Hammer of Wrath'.

In the past two months, Roy successfully broke through the bottleneck three times and was successfully promoted to the thirteenth-level high priest.

The sacred tree in his body grew to a height of more than 20 meters. Every time it appeared behind Roy in the form of a shadow, the whole tree exuded a sacred aura, just like a ginkgo tree in autumn. Every time the flowers of light trembled, a rich sacred aura would emanate from the stamens.

Roy found that although he had learned some blessing spells at first, he also learned four kinds of judgment spells in one go.

He has now taken solid steps towards becoming a 'combat priest'...

……

Roy yawned and hid behind a group of elf officers in the main hall, secretly peeling a bright orange.

The moment Roy peeled the orange, the rich sweet and sour aroma of the orange immediately spread out, causing several Silver Moon Elf officers to look towards Roy...

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

When the Silver Moon Elf officers turned their heads, Roy secretly took out a sweet orange from his pocket.

At this time, a Silver Moon Elf Grand Mage on the high platform in the main hall spoke:
"I'm sorry. When we first created the magic matrix, we didn't take the strength of the Dark Portal into consideration. As a result, the magic tide fluctuated during the construction of the sealing array, causing the Dark Portal to collapse. Now the sealing array has to be suspended." "Because the Dark Portal has become very unstable, a large number of distorted space cracks have appeared around it. Some dark creatures have poured into Golfito Canyon through these space cracks."

"Our Magic Guild and the Moon Temple will work together to find a way to deal with these dark creatures."

"But since the Dark Portal cannot be sealed, we have to think of other ways to control it. Do you have any good suggestions?"

A high priest of the Moon Temple standing opposite the great mage stood up from his seat, coughed, and then said:
"We at the Moon Temple plan to build a Moon Well in the back garden of the Statue of Liberty, but this can only be the last line of defense. Before the priests of the Statue of Liberty leave Golfito Canyon, the Dark Portal is in their hands."

"What I mean is that in the Dark Land, the control of the Dark Portal is also in the hands of the priests of the Statue of Liberty."

"So our Moon Temple's suggestion is to find a way to repair the Dark Portal and reopen it, so that the control of the Dark Portal is back in our hands."

These words from the Moon Temple's high priest immediately caused an exclamation in the main hall.

The elven officers seemed a little overwhelmed. The Dark Portal was now closed. Although it was on the verge of collapse, the elven warriors did not have to face the dark creatures directly and did not need to fight them.

But once the Dark Portal is reopened... doesn't that mean that the Silver Moon Elves' army will have to face the creatures of the dark world directly?
This high priest of the Moon Temple still wants to control the entire Dark Portal, which means that the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom will have to send permanent troops to the Dark Land. This is the most fatal thing. At present, the elven troops in the Golfito Canyon may have the opportunity to enter the Dark Land for garrison...

Currently, the elf warriors are in a very difficult situation in the Golfito Canyon. Once they enter the dark land, many elf officers dare not even think about it.

Roy also frowned when he heard the words of the Moon Temple's high priest.

Unexpectedly, after the Magic Guild and the Moon Temple worked together for so long, the first plan to seal the portal ended in failure.

Now the Magic Guild and the Moon Temple have made up their minds to drag the Silver Moon Elf Army into this, and it is clear that they need the Silver Moon Elf Army to send more troops to the Dark Land...

It’s really a very troublesome thing!
The highest commander sent by the Silvermoon Elf Kingdom to Golfito Canyon to coordinate the various elven armies is Legion Commander Gabrieles. The Silvermoon Elf Legion Commander usually does not have a strong presence, and he usually sits quietly in the chair in the middle of the platform.

Until now, he had not participated in the debate between the magician and the priest of the Moon Temple, because he did not want to offend either side.

Now the Magic Guild and the Moon Temple are unable to solve the problem of sealing the Dark Portal, so they can only throw the trouble to the Silver Moon Elf Military.

"But isn't the Dark Portal completely blocked in the Dark Land? If this is the case, how can we enter the Dark Land?" Legion Commander Gabriel Reis, who was sitting on a chair, pondered for a moment, spread his hands and asked the Grand Mage of the Magic Guild and the High Priest of the Moon Temple at the same time.

Legion Commander Gaburreth has somewhat gray hair at the temples, and looks like an older Silver Moon Elf. He has a high prestige in the military, otherwise he would not have become the legion commander of the Golfito garrison.

The Grand Mage of the Magic Guild seemed to have had some ideas about this a long time ago.

He took a step forward and said:
"If we can contact the priest of the Statue of Liberty in the Dark World and tell him about the Dark Gate in the Elf Continent, we can ask them to open the Dark Gate. This way, our garrison can enter the Dark Land!"

"..."

The main hall immediately fell silent.

“Even if we don’t take the initiative to contact them, as long as we wait for a while, when the Dark Portal collapses more seriously, the priests of the Statue of Liberty guarding the dark land will probably be able to discover it. At that time, they will still have to open the Dark Portal, and the repair work may be several times more difficult…” the Grand Mage of the Magic Guild continued.

"But what means do we have to contact the priests in the Dark Land?" Legion Commander Gabreth asked with a frown, his voice steady and soft.

The high priest of the Moon Temple took a half step forward and said, "I can ask the goddess to send down a ray of moonlight, so that this moonlight can pass through the Dark Gate and shine into the dark land..."

The second plan was thus decided. Roy finished eating the oranges he brought with him and leaned against the wall of the main hall of the temple, enjoying the sunlight coming in from the window.

Captain 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. Captain Malthus sat on a bench in the corridor, sighed softly, and said:
"I thought that after the Magic Guild completed the sealing array, the garrison in Golfito Canyon would be evacuated in batches. Now it seems that the garrison in Golfito may not be easily evacuated. Maybe they will be rotated out only after they have lived there for a full period of time!"

Roy realized this problem only after hearing what Captain Malthus said.

"So generally speaking, how long do the garrisons stay there before being transferred out?" Roy asked curiously.

"Generally speaking it takes three years, and in some special places it may be extended to five years!" Captain Malthus whispered.

Roy covered his mouth and whispered, "It takes so long!"

Captain Malthus nodded with some concern, then looked at the door of the main hall and whispered to Roy:

"Let's go. We can't stay outside for too long. The situation here isn't optimistic lately. If we get caught, we might get punished!"

After saying that, he took Roy back to the main hall.

Inside the hall, the Grand Mage of the Magic Guild and the High Priest of the Moon Temple have already begun to determine the specific time to use the Great Moonlight Technique to contact the priests of the Dark Land.

In fact, Roy was still very curious about how the Great Moonlight Spell was performed, but unfortunately Roy's level was not high enough. In addition, he was also a half-elf leader and was not qualified to enter the back garden of the Statue of Liberty.

The Dark Portal could not be seen, nor could the High Priest of the Moon Temple be seen performing the Great Moonlight Spell.

After the meeting, Roy could only say hello to Captain Malthus, then leave from the vestibule of the Statue of Liberty and return to the camp of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights.

That night, when Roy was sitting on a rattan chair at the entrance of the tent to enjoy the cool air, he suddenly felt the surroundings fall into endless darkness. Then, in the darkness, a very conspicuous beam of moonlight fell from the sky and landed inside the Statue of Liberty...
