Chapter 217: Luna’s Second Break, the Black Moon Eclipse
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Cheng’s idea was very simple. He did not agree on a specific time with the Moonlight Goddess anyway. If it was too dangerous, he could still go in another thousand or so years.
Moreover, Li Cheng knew some secrets about the five levels below the Underdark. When the time came, he might be able to ruthlessly trap that old witch, the Goddess of Darkness.
When he thought of this, Li Cheng nodded and said, “Accept.”
“Ding, dong! You’ve accepted the SSS-class mission, Destroy the altar!”
..
[Destroy the altar]
[Mission description: The Moonlight Goddess has entrusted you with a quest to destroy an altar of the Goddess of Darkness. This altar is located in the lower five levels of the Underdark. She has promised to help you complete Luna’s path of growth.]
[Mission Nature: only hidden]
[Mission difficulty: ???]
[Mission content: destroy the altar 0/1]
[Mission reward: ???]
..
Seeing that Li Cheng had accepted the mission, the Moonlight Goddess waved her hand and a stone that was emitting a sparkling moonlight slowly fell from the sky.
The Moonlight Goddess’s gaze fell on Luna and said, “This is the Moonlight Stone. Is this young lady called Luna?
“I’m very happy to share the light of the Moon with you!”
“Thank you, Moonlight Goddess!” Luna quickly said.
She held the sparkling Moonlight Stone in her hand and the next moment, it emitted an extremely cold light and fused into her body in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the system’s voice rang in Li Cheng’s ears.
“Ding, dong! Yur Hero, Moon Dance Saintess Luna, has successfully broken through the boundary and leveled up to level eighty!
“Ding, dong! Your Hero, Moon Dance Saint Luna, has successfully comprehended the new skill, Dark Moon Eclipse!”
A beam of gentle moonlight suddenly descended from the clear night sky. Following the system’s voice, Luna had completed her second breakthrough. Now, Luna’s temperament was still gentle, but upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a hint of danger.
Seeing Luna’s condition, the Moonlight Goddess was also very surprised. “It seems that you and the Moon have a good rapport.”
Then, the Moonlight Goddess pondered for a moment and did not say anything more. She only reminded, “I hope that you’ll use the power of the Moon properly.”
When Luna heard this, she merely nodded and did not say anything. She could tell that this statement was also meant for Li Cheng.
After all, Luna was Li Cheng’s hero, and Li Cheng’s actions represented Luna’s future.
After seeing Luna accept the Moonlight Stone’s breakthrough, Li Cheng exchanged a few pleasantries with the Moonlight Goddess before leading Luna out of the Moonlight Church.
Just as the two of them left, a graceful woman suddenly appeared. Her body was also emitting a faint moonlight. This person was none other than Trelefany.
At this time, Trelefany said to the Moonlight Goddess, “Thank you, Your Highness.”
The relationship between Trelefany and the Moonlight Goddess was actually quite good, and Trelefany admired the Moonlight Goddess very much. She had once volunteered to serve her for a period of time, so she could be considered a fan of the Moonlight Goddess.
Of course, Trelefany did not hide these things from Li Cheng.
The Moonlight Goddess shook her head and said, “No need. I just wanted to see him.
“You found a good spokesperson, Trelefany,” the Moonlight Goddess said as she watched Li Cheng leave.
“It’s my honor,” Trelefany said as she smiled.
..
Li Cheng checked Luna’s attributes. Her growth curve had improved a lot. At the same time, she also comprehended a new skill, Black Moon Eclipse. Li Cheng immediately used some Hero Skill Points to increase its level to the maximum as he looked at the attributes.
[Black Moon Eclipse]
[Description: Under the Black Moon, everything is silent. Uses the terrifying power of the moonlight to punish the enemy.]
[Level: Max]
[Effect: summons black moonlight to attack the enemy. There are a total of ten waves. Each wave deals 500 intelligence damage to the enemy within a 20,000-yard radius.]
[Cost: 30,000 mana]
[Cooldown: 30 minutes]
[Proficiency: Maxed]
..
This skill was a super large-scale AOE skill. With Luna’s current attributes, it could instantly kill a Legendary soldier.
However, Li Cheng blinked and looked at Luna’s gentle and delicate face. Why did he feel that this girl was about to turn dark?
In his memory, the moonlight was always gentle and warm. As for the Black Moon, he did not have any impression of it.
As if sensing Li Cheng’s doubt, Luna smiled and explained, “The Black Moon’s the special form of the moon. Even if she’s the moon, she won’t always tolerate everything. She…has her moments of anger.”
Hearing this, Li Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are you in a bad mood?”
“Not really.” Luna smiled and shook her head. After pausing for a moment, she said hesitantly, “I just discovered some things about the past.”
Li Cheng frowned slightly. He had shown less care for his other heroes. He sighed and asked, “Can you tell me about it when you have the time?”
“Of course, Lord.” Luna smiled sweetly.
At this moment, the system’s voice suddenly rang in Li Cheng’s ears.
“Ding, dong! Respected First Duke of the kingdom, Queen Lena’s preparing to hold the highest military meeting of the Kingdom of Kent in the Royal Combat Conference room. Please, attend the meeting.
“Ding, dong…”
The system’s voice rang a few times before it stopped. Li Cheng glanced in the direction of the palace. It seemed that Lena had stabilized the situation. He thought about it and decided to support her.
Just as Li Cheng was about to speak to Luna, Luna took the lead and said, “Lord, that’s more important. Go and attend the meeting first. We can talk about my matter some other time.”
“…alright. We’ll talk about it soon,” Li Cheng said gently as he patted Luna’s head.
“Hm…” Luna’s face instantly turned red as her eyes shone with starlight.
..
The Royal Combat Conference Room was located next to the palace. Naturally, Li Cheng had no obstructions along the way. Currently, the guards of the Royal Palace were all loyal believers of the Phantom Church. Naturally, they would not stop the Holy Son of their own church.
In the conference room, the most eye-catching person was naturally Queen Lena who was sitting at the head of the table. She had already changed into a more elegant and graceful regal gown. Coupled with the makeup that she had specially put on, there was a trace of dignity in her demeanor although she was still young and tender.
The huge round table in front of them had many empty seats. The owners of these seats had naturally been killed by Li Cheng. Other than some generals who had survived, there were also a few important NPCs who had rushed over from their own territories. There were five or six Earls and more than 10 Viscounts.
When Li Cheng walked in, everyone’s pupils shrank!
