Chapter 1212: Spreading Radiance

Just now, as Klein was thinking of a solution, an image naturally came

to mind.

The clouds in the two mountains began to "boil" rapidly as they spread

out to the left and right, revealing a crack whose bottom couldn't be

seen. The orange-red rays of the sunset filled it and formed a corporeal

path.

This was a scene created when Blasphemer Amon entered the projection of

the Giant King's Court.

And just as he felt that he didn't know enough about the corresponding

powers and planned on switching to another method. The red, green, blue,

and transparent gems on the Staff of the Stars had already begun to emit

a faint glow as they automatically activated.

The solidified grayish-white fog was similarly "boiling," but it wasn't

that intense.

They were churning backward as they parted, but the area right in front

of him remained an endless grayish-white mass. There was no end to it.

Klein sighed in his heart. As he focused on controlling his thoughts, he

made other attempts.

In the past three minutes, he had tried hard at least ten times. Seven

times were of his own will, while three times were him venting out, but

he was ultimately unable to open the invisible barrier.

...Indeed, normal methods don't work... With a flick of his

wrist, he allowed the historical projection of 0-62, which was close to

its limit, to disappear from the real world.

He stared at the silent grayish-white fog and didn't move for about a

minute. It was as if he had turned into a statue.

Finally, Klein closed his eyes and looked away. Holding the lantern in

his hand, he walked towards the nearby humans who were watching.

He didn't plan on making blind attempts, because there was a high chance

that he wouldn't succeed. He planned on asking the people who had stood

guard in the vicinity for two to three thousand years. It was obvious

that these ancient survivors had explored the grayish-white fog. He

wanted to see if he could find inspiration from their years of

experience.

Based on Klein's assumption, the humans would definitely react

excessively towards him, so he had already prepared the corresponding

powers to allow them to speak to him calmly. However, when he looked at

the light of dusk on both sides of the lantern, he realized that the

ugly or deformed humans were staring at him with their mouths agape.

They looked confused and shocked, as if they had temporarily lost their

ability to think.

Klein frowned slightly. In the darkness, he walked unhurriedly to the

ancient survivors and stopped about two to three meters away.

"What do you know about this fog?" Klein asked in Jotun with a deep

voice.

The language that could stir the powers of nature didn't have any

differences because of geography. There was only a slight difference in

the accent, but it wasn't much. If the original version was modified,

there was a chance its effects in ritualistic magic would be lost.

It was only when Gehrman Sparrow raised the question that A'dal seemed

to snap out of his daze. His lips quivered as he answered in an

ambiguous tone, "We... We have never caused the fog to change before..."

Just now, Gehrman Sparrow had caused the fog to boil like water and part

to the sides. This scene had really frightened them, as though they were

witnessing a miracle.

The two to three thousand years of hard work from numerous generations

of Moon City inhabitants were inferior to a person holding a staff with

an attempt that didn't last more than two hundred heartbeats!

This was also the main reason why they had given up on resisting when

Gehrman Sparrow approached them.

They instinctively believed that, no matter how they avoided him, it

would be to no avail.

After two seconds of silence, Klein continued asking, "Do you have any

corresponding records?"

At this moment, A'dal understood what Gehrman Sparrow meant. He

hesitated for a moment and slowly nodded.

"Yes... However, only the High Priest and the others would frequently

look through it."

Wearing a black trench coat and half top hat, Klein thought for a moment

and suddenly reached out to pull out an item from the void.

It was a cross covered in bronze, with several sharp spikes protruding

out from it.

It was the historical image of the ancient sun god's Unshadowed

Crucifix!

With the cross in hand, Klein raised it a little higher and aimed it at

the ancient survivors.

Pure, bright, and warm light bloomed, dispersing the darkness around

them and illuminating them.

Their combat experience made them instinctively attempt to defend

themselves, but their actions stopped midway through the process.

The brightness and warmth wasn't something a bonfire could compare with!

This made the remaining members of the Moon City hunting team recall the

deities described by the ancient books and the High Priest. "They" were

deities who emitted boundless light and brought boundless warmth.

Under the illumination of the bright, pure light, a distorted,

struggling illusionary black gas that seemed to have a life of its own

began to boil from the bodies of A'dal, Xin, and company, quickly rising

and dissipating.

The members of the Moon City hunting team felt their bodies become more

relaxed, and the pressure within their souls disappeared.

After purging the cumulative corruption and ailments of their bodies,

Klein shook his wrist slightly, causing the Unshadowed Crucifix to

disappear in front of him.

Right on the heels of that, he grabbed another cane that looked an

ordinary wooden color.

This was the former City of Silver's Sealed Artifact, Life's Cane!

Although he had already sacrificed it to the Evernight Goddess, as long

as it was once owned by a Scholar of Yore, it would only accompany them

in a different way.

With Life's Cane in hand, Klein took a few steps forward and used the

end of the cane to tap the leader of Moon City's hunting team.

The experience from before made A'dal unable to dodge. The tumors on his

face began to crack as pus flowed, faded, and disappeared. In the end,

there wasn't even a single scar left.

From the looks of his team members, A'dal knew that he had undergone a

change. He hesitantly raised his right hand and touched his face. From

top to bottom and back up again, he kept repeating it.

During this process, he realized that he was in an unprecedented healthy

state, one that was better than when he first became an adult.

Klein didn't look at him. He took a step diagonally and used Life's Cane

to treat the rest of the ancient survivors.

With A'dal as an example, Xin and the others were on their guard and

alert as they accepted contact with the cane, and they felt that they

had obtained a new lease of life.

Amongst them, the two deformed beings who were easily emotional couldn't

help but tear up.

*Unfortunately, I can't treat natural defects... Mental illnesses can be

treated, but some crazy tendencies can't be treated...* Klein

retracted his right hand and let the historical projection of Life's

Cane disappear.

He walked to his original spot and turned around. He looked at the

ancient survivors and said, "I'm not here to destroy, but to spread the

radiance of my Lord, bringing light and warmth.

"Go back and tell your leader that I'm here. If he's willing, he can

come over."

He didn't attempt to find out where the gathering point of these ancient

survivors was, nor did he plan on going there directly. This would

trigger the strongest form of resistance and vigilance.

Hence, giving them the choice was the most suitable solution.

At that moment, A'dal, Xin, and the others were already shocked by

Gehrman Sparrow's constant pulling out of mystical items. They felt that

they were walking into a miracle and had already been cleansed by the

divine light, allowing their physical condition to recover to its

optimum state. It even exceeded their peak.

"...Alright." A few seconds later, A'dal responded.

Just as they turned around and prepared to return to Moon City, flames

lit up from the depths of the darkness as they rapidly approached.

The leader was an old man wearing a dark brown beast hide. His hair was

gray and unkempt, and his face was full of real cracks.

"High Priest..." After recognizing the other party, Xin blurted out.

It was none other than Moon City's High Priest, Nim.

Behind Nim followed Rus and the other members of the hunting team who

had returned to the city ahead of time, as well as several other

High-Sequence Beyonders.

Nim nodded at A'dal, Xin, and the rest before walking to the front of

the group. Looking at the man who claimed to be a missionary, Gehrman

Sparrow, he crossed his arms and bowed.

"Honorable guest, I am Moon City's High Priest, Nim.

"Moon City once belonged to vampires, but that civilization had been

destroyed in ancient times.

"Afterwards, we accepted the orders of the great sun god, the Lord who

created everything, and we moved here to watch the grayish-white fog and

make the corresponding attempts. That continued on even though the land

was cursed and the Lord didn't respond to us.

"To date, 3,722 years have passed."
