Chapter 140: The Abbey of Repose 5

  Kenley recollected that in the game, this character was a green-named NPC, ensconced in an invincible state, rendering him impervious to being vanquished by players. Moreover, he was intricately woven throughout the entire narrative of the Black Sheep Society, persisting even until the encounter with the last boss embedded in Kenley's memory.

  However, at that juncture, the storyline of the Black Sheep Society remained incomplete. Hence, Kenley harbored doubts regarding whether that was indeed the final chapter. Judging from the dialogues at that time and conversations with certain NPCs following the defeat of the boss, it was evident that the saga of the Black Sheep Society was far from reaching its denouement.

  One could only fathom the depths of perversity and fanaticism that characterized this group of madmen within the Black Sheep Society.

  "Strayed lambs, Misius has long yearned for this fateful encounter with you." At that moment, his eyes darted about, and he suddenly caught sight of Tia standing behind Kenley.

  His eyes instantly lit up, and he even clasped his own arms with both hands."Unbelievable! To think I would have the privilege of beholding such a stunning, graceful, and captivating scion of the darkness. This is truly a source of great delight!"

  He inched his hands upward along his arms, eventually placing them on his head, as if ensnared in a reverie."I'm beside myself with excitement! This is beyond exhilarating!"

  "Descendant of the Dark Hero... Descendant of the Dark Hero... Hahaha."

  His face contorted and convulsed, to the point that his twitching was rather nauseating.

  Fess furrowed his brow."You're a raving lunatic!" With that, he unleashed a Knight's Crescent Slash. A fearsome blade of qi hurtled forth in an instant, piercing clean through Misius's form!

  Yet, what transpired next left everyone in a state of shock.

  The blade of qi simply passed through his body, leaving Misius unscathed!

  "This is but a phantasm!" Everyone seemed to grasp why Misius, a mere priest, had dared to present himself before them in such a brazen manner. It dawned on them that he was naught but an illusory apparition.

  No wonder he was a green-named NPC in the game. In that very instant, Kenley also comprehended the situation.

  "Your Highness Tia, you've graced us with your presence of your own accord this time. On behalf of the Black Sheep Society, I extend a warm welcome as you deign to set foot beneath the divine throne." First, he reined in his manic demeanor, then raised his head and fixed Tia with a chilling gaze, enunciating each word deliberately.

  But at that precise moment, Tia underwent an abrupt transformation, and that familiar sense that Kenley had experienced before resurfaced.

  It was another manifestation of Tia!

  Tia's eyes assumed an otherworldly glint, and she offered a sinister smile."Lord Misius, beware the Shadow of the Black Moon."

  The Shadow of the Black Moon? Tia's utterance of such words was truly unexpected.

  Kenley was well-versed in the nature of the Shadow of the Black Moon. It was the reflection of Daminael's inner demons, the eighth moon that defied existence. The mother of the Dark Monarch Perron was none other than the Shadow of the Black Moon; in a sense, Perron's mother was Daminael.

  The left eye of the Mother Goddess was the Sun God Sanphest, while her right eye was the Moon Goddess Daminael. In this world, when night descended, on the seventh day of each week, humans were able to behold a maximum of seven moons.

  These seven moons consisted of the Mother Moon Daminael, personified by the Moon Goddess, and the six Sub-Moons representing light, darkness, water, fire, wind, and earth.

  Ordinarily, reality only permitted the existence of seven moons. However, one fateful day, Daminael was visited by a prophetic dream of the rise and fall of the Aude Continent. Overwhelmed with a desperate desire to save the world, she strove with all her might.

  Yet, no matter how hard she tried, salvation eluded her. In her quest for greater power, she succumbed to her desires and fell from grace. Her shadow seized the opportunity to usurp control of her body.

  Thankfully, Daminael repented in the nick of time. She extracted her shadow, which manifested as the eighth moon, known as the Shadow of the Black Moon. Endowed with power rivaling that of Daminael, it was, however, barred from manifesting in the mortal realm.

  Of course, this was merely the plot of the game, but now it had materialized into reality. Perron, born as the offspring of the Shadow of the Black Moon, had led some players to speculate that he waged war against the world out of indignation for the injustice his mother had endured.

  "When the Shadow of the Black Moon descends upon the Aude Continent, even the God of the Black Sheep, who stands in opposition to the realm of dreams, will be compelled to bow in submission," Tia continued.

  "Tia! Snap out of it!" Just then, Kenley bellowed.

  Tia's eyes immediately regained their clarity."Master."

  Kenley merely shook his head at her, choosing not to utter a word. After all, Tia's behavior just now had been exceedingly eerie, reminiscent of her previous state of Mad Love. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he swiftly grasped Tia's hand.

  Appraise!

  【Affection: 200 (Unwavering)】

  As he had suspected! It seemed that only when possessed by the other Tia did she exhibit the Mad Love state. For the time being, let's refer to that Tia as the Dark Tia. Who exactly was this Dark Tia? Why was she so intimately acquainted with the Shadow of the Black Moon? And every word she uttered was like an ancient enigma.

  Meanwhile, the priest Misius, standing on the notice platform, clasped his head in disbelief once more."The God of the Black Sheep is eternal! The God of the Black Sheep is magnificent! The Black Moon is but a mere reflection of a deity! She will never, ever fathom the will of the God of the Black Sheep! Aaaaaah!"

  With that, he abruptly knelt to the ground, as if consumed by a fit of madness.

  "Slay them all! Eradicate these invaders!"

  His eyes gradually widened, brimming with madness, and he roared like a rabid beast, lost in his own frenzy.

  Suddenly, the doors of the side hall swung open once more, and two towering figures burst into the room.

  They were two nuns garbed in black habits, but their imposing stature was truly astonishing, towering over two grown adults.

  Strange scarlet hexagrams were etched onto their bodies, and they donned peculiar sheep skull masks on their heads. Each held a weapon in one hand.

  The nun on the left brandished a chain hammer, while the nun on the right wielded a long spear.

  Just as in the game, once the plot had been revealed, the boss nuns guarding the abbey, the nun sisters, were unleashed.

  And Misius, who had previously stood at the center of the notice platform, began to fade away until he vanished completely.

  【Leader· Sister Teresa, the Upright Nun】【Leader· Sister Grace, the Inquisitorial Nun】

  【Level: 40】

  【Occupation: Warrior】

  【HP:14710/14710](Both possess identical HP)

  【MP:???】

  【Description: The nun sisters of the Abbey of Repose, whose mountainous physiques inspire adoration among the believers.】

  What on earth was this description? Kenley silently mused.

  But now was not the time to ponder such matters. It was time to strategize on how to vanquish these two bosses.

  These two sisters were no pushovers in the game. They possessed a unique mechanism, and it had taken players a considerable amount of time to discern the strategy to defeat them.
