The last path that led to the outside of the castle does not stop within the kingdom. The path leads to the mountain a distance away from the kingdom. Solstice did not know why the angel would bring the child away from their main base, which is the Church of Light, but sothing tells her that it is not for sothing good.
Thankfully, the blood path is still a dark red color which ans that the boy is still alive. She does not want to stumble upon the worst case scenario and bring the dead body of a child to the parents. Since their group only consisted of Awraka, Lycan and Solstice, they moved fairly quick as Solstice' armor recedes under the effect of Dark Veil.
The mountain is a small one and they managed to evade all the monsters in the area due to their stealth. It is also a good thing that it is already in the afternoon which ans the Dark Veil's effects becos stronger. The blood path sent them to a hidden lair inside the mountain which looked like so sort of temple.
The temple inside the mountain has many statues of gods and goddesses but only one of them is intact. All the other statues of gods and goddesses are destroyed except for the statue that represents the Goddess of Light, Luminaria. It feels as if this temple is only for the Goddess of Light Luminaria and all other followers of gods, and goddesses are not welco.
"How co a hidden temple like this is not famous? Not even the players in the Kingdom of the Sun do not have an idea about this place." Lycan stated as they suddenly triggered a dungeon notification.
[You have discovered a hidden dungeon called the Temple of Light Hidden in the dark.]
[All experience points gained will be doubled for seven days inside the dungeon.]
[All drops in the dungeon will have a significant increase as well.]
[You have gained 1000 Fa for discovering this hidden dungeon.]
[The Goddess of Light Luminaria looks at you unfavorably for discovering sothing that mortals like you do not need to know.]
[The curse of the Goddess of Light is casted upon you.]
[Due to being having the power of darkness inside your body, the curse of the Goddess of Light did not affect you as she does not have jurisdiction over children born from darkness.]
"What the heck? Did a Goddess just try to curse us?" Lycan stated.
"You do not need to worry as we are Children borne from Darkness. Even if the veil of the gods has sowhat lessened, the gods and goddesses could no do anything they want from us. We should hurry as the one inside this dungeon has surely known of our presence." Solstice stated.
"Unfortunately, my Dark Veil seems to have beco almost obsolete." Awraka stated as her Dark Veil no longer fully functioned, and their figures could be clearly seen.
"I would actually be shocked if it did because this temple is filled with light elental energy. Our attacks using the darkness elent would also be the sa." Solstice stated as she pressed forward to go inside the temple. The blood path is getting thicker and thicker which ans the boy should be close.
The group entered the main temple and the very interior is not different from the entrance. There are still broken statues of gods and goddesses. This ti, statues of angels also decorated the interior with a gigantic statue of the Goddess of Light Luminaria.
The Goddess of Light Luminaria statue in the interior is the most pretentious of the statues there. She seems to be looking down upon all the beings that ca from the entrance. Even the three people felt that they are under a lot of pressure due to the gaze of the statue.
[You are under the gaze of a statue venerating the Goddess of Light Luminaria.]
[Due to the imnse number of prayers sent using this statue, it has gained so connection to the Goddess of Light Luminaria.]
[Due to you being a Child Borne from Darkness, your stats have been lowered by 10% as the statue is gazing upon you.]
Solstice then wandered her eyes in search of the boy and saw the boy lying down on an altar. The kid could be seen breathing but is showing no signs of waking up. It seems that he is under so sort of trance as she could see sothing glittering on top of the child's head.
Solstice decided to charge towards the child, but the broken porcelain status suddenly ca to life. The porcelain statues that ca to life then charged towards Solstice. Since Solstice could not take a defensive stance imdiately, she just charged at full force. She crashed against the porcelain statues wit her golden armor and shattered them with the impact.
The porcelain statues might have beco broken, but they did manage to stop Solstice' charge. The sound of footsteps could then be heard from the altar as a blonde female showed herself. Upon seeing the blonde woman, Solstice, Lycan and Awraka could instinctively knew that they are in the presence of soone with light energy present in their body.
"To think that children born from the dirty darkness would find a place willed with the warmth of light. I implore you to go on your way now as I am not in the mood to play with people like you." The blonde woman stated.
"What is an angel doing with a small child? That should be illegal. I shall call the FBI." Lycan stated but the blonde woman does not understand the last part that Lycan said.
"Give us the boy and we will be on our way." Solstice stated with a heavy tone.
"You cannot have the boy because he belongs to us now. A boy with this pure of blood that bursts of light will be the perfect vessel for the great leader of the angels tatron. Nevertheless, you…filth manage to see through my disguise as an angel. I shall be gracious and let you go on your way while my mood is still good." The blonde woman stated.
"Why not give us the boy to return to his family and we will not pluck your feathers from your body." Solstice stated.
When the blonde woman heard the threats of the filth before her, she narrowed her eyes and could see this repulsive aura covering both Solstice and Lycan. She instinctively knew what that is upon seeing the aura surrounding them because that is the aura of an Angel Killer.
"I have been gracious to all of you despite you being beneath . If you had taken my offer, then you would have co out of this temple alive. Now that I could see that two of you probably killed a weak angel, I shall bring upon justice to my fallen people. Rember the na Mishiel as it will be the angel that brings you to your grave." Mishiel stated as two pair of wings sprouted from her back.
The porcelain statues got covered in light elental energy as they fused together to beco golems. Mishiel did not move from her location but the number of golems she instantly created numbered in the fifties. She did not even break a sweat trying to create them as it felt like she considers it the sa as breathing.
"Prepare for battle." Solstice stated as she imdiately used the puncturing chanism of her armor to create a blood sword. Lycan transford his hands as well as he will deal more damage with claws than just his bare fists.
"I actually do not have a skill that can destroy nurous enemies." Lycan stated but even Solstice did not have such a skill as well. Both of them are front line fighters that excelled at duels. The ones that could clear nurous enemies for them would either be Equinox or Peridot.
"I shall handle the rocks. The two of you should imdiately head up and attack her." Awraka stated as so sort of aura started to build inside of her. She also too out her weapons which are two golden claws. These golden claws only have the middle finger covered instead of three fingers.
"Dance of the Flash Goddess: Butterfly!" Awraka stated as her body exploded with an aura that felt as though lightning itself manifested onto the world.
Solstice and Lycan are already familiar with Awraka's skills as she is a top notch assassin that is extrely fast. What they did not know is that she actually had a skill that can take out nurous enemies. A rough figure of a lightning butterfly outlined the entire temple as the porcelain statues filled with the light elent shattered in just a few seconds.
Solstice and Lycan did not doubt Awraka as they imdiately charge to Mishiel's location but two three ter tall angel statues blocked their way. It seems these statues are different compared to the nurous ones. Mishiel could be seen to focus on these two more than the others.
