Chapter 2272: Moonlight Spreads

At this time, on the highest mountain in the world, a figure was shuttling through the dense forest. The trees growing on the Giant God Peak are much harder than ordinary trees on the ground, and the beasts here are even more dangerous monsters for most people.

The figure in the dense forest was wearing a glittering silver-white armor, engraved with complex and mysterious runes, which shone brightly under the moonlight, as if whispering an ancient and powerful power. Under the armor was her graceful and strong body, and every movement revealed unparalleled elegance and strength, like the most perfect sculpture under the moonlight.

Holding a crescent-shaped moon blade, the moon blade exuded a faint blue light, like a crescent moon in the ice, sharp and mysterious. It was Diana, the only successor of the Bright Moon Sect.

Diana looked up at the sky beyond the forest canopy, her purple eyes searching for the trace of the silver moon, but she only saw the hazy halo behind the branches and dense clouds. Night has always been Diana's favorite time of the day, since she was a child. When she was a child, she often climbed over the high walls of the Temple of the Sun and watched the moon shuttle through the sea of ​​stars.

The woods became denser and denser, and the dark tree trunks were covered with moss, and the branches were like twisted arms, reaching for the sky. She couldn't see the road ahead, only rows of weeds and hideous thorns. The night wind blew the thorns and scraped against her streamlined armor.

Diana followed the ancient road through a group of dead trees with thick branches, which had been dead for a long time. Then she climbed up the stone-covered high ground, passed several clumps of twisted pine and fir trees, crossed the stream flowing in the mountains, and meandered around the steep hillside. Finally, she came to a plateau covered with stones, overlooking a huge cold lake.

In the middle of the plateau is a circular stone circle, and each stone is engraved with a spiral arc mark. Diana could see the same runes on each boulder, exactly the same as the crescent-shaped rune on her forehead that was glowing.

Diana walked to the center of the Stonehenge circle and drew out her scimitar. The pale moonlight penetrated the clouds, shining on the blade like a diamond. She knelt on one knee, thinking deeply, with the tip of the knife against the ground and the handle guard against her cheek.

In Nerimaj, not far from the Targon Peak, in the gradually rebuilt palace, Isabella suddenly looked in the direction of the Targon Peak, and the red moon equipped on her body was faintly reflected.

"Is there any problem?" Lin Jiu noticed Isabella's abnormal reaction at the first time.

"A powerful moonlight force has just been guided down." Isabella told what she felt.

"That should be what Diana is doing. After we finish the things in the Empire of the Sun, we should start to deal with the heretic among the Solari in the Solari." Lin Jiu stretched and looked towards the direction of Mount Targon. Presumably, before tomorrow, the people on Mount Targon will also receive news about the events in Shurima.

Sivir and Nasus both looked confused. Taliyah didn't react much, because she didn't hang out in the Shurima area much, so she naturally didn't know much about the Solari. Sivir and Nasus were different. They knew that Mount Targon was almost the territory of the Solari.

Now in Lin Jiu's eyes, the same sect that believed in the sun actually thought that the other party was a heretic. Well, you are the son of the sun, whoever you say is a heretic is a heretic.

Don't get me wrong, this is not Lin Jiu deliberately criticizing the Solari because of Diana's mission, but he feels from the bottom of his heart that the Solari is a heretic. This can be understood from Diana's experience and encounter.

Diana wanted to understand the reasons for the Sun Cult's behavior and the logic behind their beliefs. She buried her head in the library and read all the texts eagerly, only to find that a whole chapter in the tome had been torn out, and all references to the moon seemed to be missing.

After raising the question, what did the mentors of the Sun Cult do? By severely punishing her, they wanted to use fatigue to gain her piety. On this basis, the believers of the same generation also began to stay away from her and her doubts.

This behavior is simply embarrassing the church that believes in the sun. The crazy believers of the Sun Church, whose name is spread throughout many native worlds and the void, do not have such behavior. In the eyes of Lin Jiu, the inheritor of the Sun Star, the Sun Cult is not a heresy.

So it's better for those guys in the Sun Cult to be sensible and let Lin Jiu complete the task honestly, otherwise Lin Jiu will have to start the backup plan. As for Leona's hatred, it doesn't matter to him at all. Anyway, she and Diana can get along.

Diana, who was in the middle of the stone platform, suddenly stood up. The space between the boulders was torn apart, the air was squeezed and deformed, and three monsters roared and pounced on her; these monsters had waxy white skin and flesh, white bone armor and steel teeth and claws.

Diana dived diagonally downward, letting a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth bite hard and empty. Diana used the scimitar to draw an arc on the top of the head, cutting the first monster's heavy skull to the shoulder. The monster fell down, and the flesh and blood immediately began to reveal its original appearance.

She rolled to her feet swiftly, and the other monsters began to circle around her, like hunters besieging their prey. Now they have begun to fear the cold scimitar in her hand, and the monster she killed just now has turned into a pool of bubbling black mud.

They pounced again, attacking from two directions at the same time. Their flesh gradually darkened, showing a purple color with bruises and blood spots, and their mouths hissed with the hostility of this world.

Diana leaped over the monster on the left, her scimitar in a crescent arc, rushing towards the monster's neck armor. She shouted the sacred spell of the Lunari, and the scimitar ignited with a white-hot light.

The monster under the knife exploded from the body, and the newly formed flesh and blood turned into powder under the power of the moon blade. As soon as she landed, she was immediately rushed aside by the attack of the last monster.

Razor-like claws pierced her steel shoulder guard and dragged her freely. The monster's chest opened, revealing the mucus-covered sensory organs and hooked teeth inside.

And Diana felt a numbing cold seeping from the wound, and immediately turned the handle of the knife, holding the knife like a dagger, and then deeply penetrated the monster's body. The monster howled and loosened its huge mouth, and the wounds on its body flowed black pus.

The dark clouds retreated and dispersed, and a beam of bright moonlight shone down. Diana's scimitar absorbed the energy of the moonlight, and the blade burned brightly. With the executioner's ultimate momentum, she slashed down with the power of light in the night sky, splitting tendons and breaking bones.

As the white light exploded, the monster's body was torn into pieces and turned into ashes under her powerful blow. Its flesh and blood merged into the night, and only Diana was left on the platform, her chest heaving and breathing heavily.

The monster disappeared, and silver lines flashed on the boulders in the circular array. They have escaped from the place of hatred on the other side of the curtain and now began to radiate healing power. Diana felt this power permeating the entire wilderness and seeping into the rocks. Her strength, not counting the power of the star spirit, has also improved greatly.

"The night sacrifice is over." Diana stood up and prepared to leave here.

However, a ray of moonlight shone down from the sky, causing Diana to stop and listen to the message conveyed by the moonlight.

"Chiyou, the son of the sun... Chiyou?"
