Chapter 379 Discovering Each Other's Anomalies
The meeting place for Shadow Celestial and Elder Astra was the main conference room at the Night Blades headquarters. Shadow Celestial sat on his throne. When he saw Elder Astra, he did not rush to ask questions. Instead, he was observing Elder Astra\'s condition.
Although Elder Astra had adjusted himself, Shadow Celestial still noticed something unusual about him. It seemed that Shadow Celestial sensed a very strong presence of blood moon power surrounding Elder Astra.
"Have you encountered a significant danger?" Shadow Celestial asked in a somewhat gentle tone.
Elder Astra was surprised by the gentleness in Shadow Celestial\'s voice. He quickly responded, "You are correct. I did encounter a tremendous danger in the real world. The power that Sophia possesses has surpassed our imagination. Not only did she plunge a massive city into a hellish state in an instant, but she could also easily defeat Irving. To successfully escape, I was forced to throw the Dark Portal at Sophia. I never expected that she would destroy the Dark Portal with such ease."
Elder Astra\'s response was very thorough. He recounted everything he had experienced. Aside from not mentioning the Chaos Entity, he shared all the information he had.
Shadow Celestial\'s expression grew slightly serious. Although he knew that Sophia\'s strength had become greater than before, he had never imagined that she would be powerful to such an extent.
After a moment of contemplation, Shadow Celestial turned his gaze back to Elder Astra. "How are you feeling now? Are you still trapped in a state of panic? You seem to be a bit off mentally."
As Shadow Celestial spoke, he continually manipulated chaotic power. He hoped to gauge Elder Astra\'s true state through the chaotic energy.
Under normal circumstances, Elder Astra only possessed dark power. Chaotic power and dark power did not engage in fierce clashes, as the two types of energy were quite similar. When they met, they would merely compress each other without significant conflict.
However, chaotic power and blood moon power had no relation to each other. Once the two forces met, they would immediately engage in an intense clash.
As the chaotic power came into contact with Elder Astra, he was suddenly overwhelmed by a severe headache. Unable to adjust quickly, his consciousness abruptly faded away, and he collapsed to the ground.
Shadow Celestial\'s expression darkened even further. "This situation is extremely troubling! Has the blood moon power grown strong enough to erode Elder Astra in such a short time? What on earth is happening?!"
At this moment, Shadow Celestial was in a state of utter shock. He never anticipated that blood moon power could become so powerful so quickly. If Sophia truly possessed such formidable strength, Shadow Celestial himself would be greatly threatened. It was clear that Sophia\'s ambitions extended beyond merely wanting to rule the real world. Eventually, she would return to the world of the Shelter Game.
"I must enhance my own power as soon as possible. I can\'t just control the powers of chaos; I need to master even more forces," Shadow Celestial thought, recognizing the impending crisis. He began to frantically seek ways to escape this threat.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Shadow Celestial ordered his trusted subordinate to take Elder Astra away. "Elder Astra has sustained serious injuries and will be unable to carry out any tasks for a while. Let him rest at the Night Blades headquarters."
Once he had given the order, Shadow Celestial chose to leave. He hoped to quickly acquire more powerful chaotic energy.
Elder Astra was taken back to his own room by Shadow Celestial\'s subordinate. The moment he returned to the room, he suddenly opened his eyes. In fact, it wasn\'t just Shadow Celestial who had detected something unusual about Elder Astra; Elder Astra had also sensed an anomaly in Shadow Celestial.
Elder Astra felt that Shadow Celestial was beginning to be eroded by chaotic power. It seemed that chaotic energy was already distorting Shadow Celestial\'s perception.
"The situation has changed somewhat; I should discuss this thoroughly with my other allies," Elder Astra thought to himself.
However, in that instant, he was struck again by a severe headache. "It seems I should really rest for a while. The erosion from blood moon power is difficult to shake off, but I must find a way to escape it."
For Elder Astra, the clash between blood moon power and the dark power within his body was intense. If he could not escape the influence of blood moon power soon, he would quickly fall into madness.
Ultimately, Elder Astra decided that he needed to rest for a significant period. After fully recovering, he would consider his next course of action.
At the same time, Sophia finally launched a direct attack on the Angel Guild headquarters.
Inside the Angel Guild headquarters, everyone seemed to suddenly see a blood-red moon. This blood-red moon caused the weaker members of the Angel Guild to rapidly descend into madness.
Although Irving and the other stronger individuals were not quickly eroded by the blood moon\'s power, they still felt a significant threat looming over them.
"What should we do? Should we confront Sophia directly in a final battle?" Aron asked Irving, slightly nervous.
In Aron\'s view, the situation had become dire, and they could no longer afford to waste time. Moreover, hiding here seemed ineffective in avoiding the erosion caused by the blood moon\'s power.
Irving slowly nodded. "You\'re right; we do need to face Sophia in battle. However, before we engage, I must clearly explain my plan to you all."
Irving began to slowly unfold the magic book in his hands in front of everyone. The book revealed an unusually complex spell.
"I will approach Sophia quickly with this magic book. After that, I will engage her in combat. My strength is insufficient to defeat Sophia, so I will inevitably be severely injured during the fight. After that, I will activate the spell contained within the book. To ensure the spell succeeds, you must provide me with the necessary assistance."
As Irving spoke, he scanned the faces of those around him. The expressions of the other individuals beside him were all resolute. They were determined to support Irving.
"What you need to do is attack me with different attributes of power immediately after the spell is activated," Irving stated solemnly. Stay tuned with empire
Everyone\'s expression was one of shock upon hearing this.
"Why do it this way? If we really do that, won\'t we end up killing you?" Anna found Irving\'s plan hard to believe.
In Anna\'s eyes, such a plan was almost equivalent to suicide. James and Benjamin were also opposed to it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Benjamin bluntly stated, "I think you might have been deceived by the knowledge fairy. The spell it provided you probably can\'t defeat Sophia. I even suspect that the knowledge fairy may have teamed up with Sophia."
Benjamin had never trusted the knowledge fairy much. After hearing Irving\'s plan, he felt even more convinced that the entire scheme was merely a trap set by the knowledge fairy.
James quickly added, "I think Anna and Benjamin make very valid points. This entire plan is far too risky. You\'re the strongest among us, and if something happens to you, we absolutely won\'t be able to win."
Facing the opposition from everyone, a wry smile appeared on Irving\'s face. "I knew you would say that. At first, I thought the knowledge fairy was deliberately setting me up. But we have no other options left.
Sophia\'s strength has grown to a point where normal methods can no longer defeat her. Plus, we don\'t have much time to search for alternatives. The power of the blood moon has become strong enough to completely destroy the real world. If we don\'t make a quick decision and take action, we won\'t be able to turn the situation around."
Irving\'s words left everyone in silence. He was indeed right. They had no other options; they had to take a gamble. If the knowledge fairy was truly trying to harm Irving, they would have no way to counter it.
Although Aron had previously been skeptical of the knowledge fairy, he was the first to support Irving\'s plan this time. "I believe Irving is right! Continuing to hesitate while we sit here is pointless! Sophia is already at the doorstep of the Angel Guild headquarters. Do we really have more time to hesitate?"
Aron\'s unusual display of support surprised everyone slightly. However, Irving quickly understood why Aron held such an attitude. As the leader of the Angel Guild, Aron was undoubtedly very concerned about the safety of the guild. Given that Sophia was already at their doorstep, Aron had run out of options.
With Aron stepping forward to agree with Irving\'s plan, the others naturally followed suit.
"Our next move cannot afford any mistakes!" Irving said solemnly to everyone.
