I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means - Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Chapter 43 New Moon Blessing

In Ailina’s prayers, the ethereal door in the air slowly opened inward.

Through the door, Lis could faintly see a vibrant, lush green vast forest beyond it.

As the door fully opened, a faint white mist-like apparition appeared on the body of the Moon Spirit Leopard.

This must be the spirit of the Moon Spirit Leopard summoned forth.

The soul of the Moon Spirit Leopard floated in the air, its ethereal face casting a lingering look at the Little Moon Spirit Leopard on Ailina’s shoulder before leaping into the heavenly gates of the Divine Country in the sky.

Hum~

Suddenly, a loud reverberating sound erupted as the two doors, flickering with a mysterious glow, slowly drew together and closed.

Lis and the others breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Soul Returning Ceremony was over.

Just as the door summon by the Soul Returning Ceremony was about to close, a few silver beams of light suddenly appeared from behind it and fell straight from within the door.

The largest of these silver beams enveloped both Ailina and the Little Moon Spirit Leopard on her shoulder.

Before Lis and the others could react, the remaining beams also fell one after the other, directly striking into their bodies.

Lis only felt a flash of silver light before his vision, and then felt nothing more, after carefully checking his body, he discovered a silver crescent mark had appeared on the back of his left hand.

Before Lis could decipher the newly appeared mark on his hand, a system notification appeared in front of his eyes.

———–

[You have received the blessing of the Moon and Guardian Goddess Fenrir]

[ “You have acquired the specialty [Silver Moon Protection]”]

[ [Silver Moon Protection]—-A blessing from the Moon and Guardian Goddess Fenrir’s Divine Power. Under the moonlight, physical and Mana recovery speed +50%, All Attributes temporarily increase by 15%]

([Silver Moon Protection] specialty hidden effect, your chances of mastering Moon, Guardian, Night, Hunting, and other extraordinary domains increase by 30%)

…

[You have touched the might of the gods]

[Your analysis of Divine Power: 1%]

———–

Wow! So powerful!

Lis caressed the crescent mark on his left hand, so that silver beam just now was Goddess Fenrir’s power?

The so-called divine blessings refer to a god’s bless of their devout followers or beloved beings, granting them powers from the gods, which often manifest as some form of continuous buffing status.

The [Silver Moon Protection] Lis had just received was particularly special, only activating under moonlight but with correspondingly more potent effects.

Not to mention the increase in physical and Mana recovery speed, the amplitude of the boost in all attributes reached a staggering thirty percent, truly terrifying, akin to Lis leveling up nearly ten levels.

As for the Divine Power analysis progress, there was no such notification when Lis acquired Divine Power in his former life; he could only set it aside for exploration later.

Lis glanced at his left hand, deciding not to wash it for the next month; perhaps being imbued with the essence of the gods might change his pitifully low Luck Value.

Ya’er, Arsen, and others also gradually woke up, each wearing a look of joy on their faces, seeming to have gained many benefits from the goddess’s power as well.

“Ya’er, how do you feel?” Lis asked, looking at the visibly excited Ya’er.

“It’s great, I feel like my strength has increased quite a bit! Do you want to try?”

Ya’er waved her little fist, showing her arm to Lis.

Lis looked at the tender, jade-white arm before him and quickly shook his head, well aware of the terrifying power hidden within.

No kidding, Ya’er alone could have leveled the small hill where several people were, it just would have taken some time.

While Lis and the others were joking around, the silvery glow on Ailina and the Little Moon Spirit Leopard gradually faded, and they woke up from their special status.

“Sister Ailina, how are you feeling? Are you alright?”

Ya’er immediately came to Ailina’s side, voicing concern, though her eyes remained fixed on the Little Moon Spirit Leopard on her shoulder.

It seemed like the little kitty had also become much more spirited! Ya’er thought to herself.

“I’m okay.” Ailina didn’t notice Ya’er’s subtle gestures, and nodded to her teammates who gathered around, indicating that her status was fine.

“Was that the power of the Goddess just now?” Arsen asked. Even though he had a faint guess, he, being always cautious, still spoke up to inquire from Ailina.

“Yes, it was Goddess Fenrir’s reward to us.” Ailina’s face showed adoration and aspiration, “The Goddess was very pleased that we returned the soul of the Moon Spirit Leopard to its home.”

She then gently cradled the Little Moon Spirit Leopard in her arms. The little one, having been through this ordeal, seemed to view Ailina as its closest person and calmly stayed there, slowly falling asleep.

While gently stroking the Little Moon Spirit Leopard, Ailina said, “This little one has also received the Goddess’s baptism and protection, it will surely be stronger than its mother in the future.”

Good grief!

How much does the Moon Goddess like the Moon Spirit Leopard, she must not have spared any divine power on this little operation!

Lis silently criticized in his mind, but as the Moon and Guardian Goddess Fenrir were among the strongest in the Elf God System with Medium Divine Power, they probably wouldn’t mind this consumption.

Moreover, as he too had obtained tangible benefits, he should probably praise the generosity of the Moon Goddess.

After muttering a few words quietly to himself, he heard Arsen arranging on the side:

“Since everything’s settled, let’s pack up and prepare to head back.”

The team agreed without objection, Ailina summoned vines with her elf magic, covering the body of the Moon Spirit Leopard.

When unable to return to their homeland, elves use this method to return the bodies of their magic beast companions to nature.

The adventure team returned to Baron Tony’s castle, informed him that the magic beast troubling his domain had been successfully subdued, and presented him with the proof they had specifically kept.

Baron Tony was naturally overjoyed, repeatedly thanking Arsen and the others, and even insisted that they rest at the castle for the night before setting off the next day.

However, the adventure team decided to return to Bright City right away, as they had a Little Moon Spirit Leopard to take care of. It was better to return to base sooner.

Watching the adventure team’s carriage slowly disappear from sight, Baron Tony, who had personally escorted them to the town’s edge, sighed with admiration.

With a Golden Warrior in their team, the efficiency was so good, it was worth even a higher price!

I should have employed this Yaya Mercenary Group from the start. All that time wasted by those useless mercenaries, it all costs money!

“Master, shall we go back now?”

Steward Ze Man asked on the side, now that the magic beast causing disorder in the Baron Domain had been subdued, they, as ordinary people, breathed a sigh of relief. Ze Man’s face looked much better.

“Go back? What are you talking about!” Baron Tony said sternly, “Hurry and inform those lazybones to get to work in the vineyard right away.”

“Those days without work, it’s all my money being wasted, you understand!”

“And those people, tell them to leave fast. Although the issue is resolved, they caused quite a commotion. If not for that lord, I would have handed them over to the Golden Lion Knights Order and the Dawn Church already!”

“Get them out of here! I’m annoyed just by seeing them!”

Baron Tony ranted and even kicked Ze Man’s rear.

Meekly, Ze Man bowed and departed to inform that strange merchant troupe that had stayed for half a year at his master’s place.

“Hope nothing else goes wrong?”

Baron Tony stood still, anxiously looking towards his own vineyard. Why was it so difficult to be just an ordinary baron?
