Chapter 259 The Attack of the "Mother of Heaven"
It's unbelievable that the "Mother of Heaven" is imprisoned here!
Raphael certainly "remembered" information about her; she was the daughter of the "Destroyer Wolf" and a member of the "Goddess of Night's" clan.
After the "Destroyer Wolf" fell, He and Antigonus secretly hid in the Hornach Mountains and slowly developed a "Night Kingdom".
Later, the Tudor Empire fell, and its great nobleman Antigonus was sealed away, allowing the Church of the Goddess of Night to be destroyed.
"Land of Night".
If Raphael remembers correctly, this "Mother of the Sky" was also made into a sealing artifact for the goddess to use when she descended from the astral plane.
But to Raphael's surprise, the "Mother of Heaven" was not "dead"; her consciousness and spirit were imprisoned here by the "Goddess of Night".
Audrey had heard other members of the Tarot Club talk about the "Land of Night" and the "Mother of Heaven," but in her opinion, they were all "historical figures." She never expected to see them in a place like this.
Raphael pondered for a moment before smiling and saying, "I'm sorry, I don't know where to look for Antigonus."
"He may not have awakened from his seal yet," said the "Mother of Heaven." "You can take me to the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains and try to find him there."
Raphael replied, "I cannot guarantee that we can find Him, because I know very well that it is dangerous."
The "Mother of Heaven" stared coldly at Raphael: "Aren't you afraid you won't be able to leave my dream if you try to negotiate with me like this?"
"Don't worry, because you can't stop us at all," Raphael laughed. "You can't hold back the phantom of the 'Goddess of Night' either."
If He could still influence the phantom of the "Goddess of Night," He would have already tried to escape from here. Otherwise, this layer of the dream would not be so peaceful.
The Mother of Heaven's indifferent gaze remained unchanged as she stared at Raphael for a few seconds before saying, "I can pay you a divine-level sealed artifact as payment. I have hidden this sealed artifact in the Hornachis Mountains."
Raphael smiled helplessly and said, "This lie is too outrageous. The battle between the 'Night Kingdom' and the Church of the Goddess of Night must have been extremely fierce. In such a critical situation, how could you still be hiding a Level 0 sealed artifact and not using it?"
He was starting to doubt the intelligence of this "Mother of Heaven," but having been sealed here for so long, it was very likely that her condition was already problematic.
At the same time, Raphael was also testing this "Mother of Heaven." If she still had any strength left, she would have already unleashed her fury.
But the "Mother of Heaven" remained unmoved.
Raphael frowned: That shouldn't be the case. Even if she was sealed away, she was still a "renowned angel," so it's unlikely that she couldn't even inflict damage on two Sequence 5s.
At that moment, Audrey, who was standing to the side and behind, suddenly said, "He can't use abilities like 'sleep' or 'dreams'."
Raphael instantly understood: "No wonder."
He wasn't sure if the seventh layer of the dream was the bottom layer, but it was clear that with the "Mother of Heaven's" power, the deepest she could go was this far.
This means that the most important ability of the "Sleepless One" cannot be used, and other abilities are also likely unusable, otherwise the sleeve wouldn't just hang there as decoration.
Raphael gestured to Audrey, and the two of them attempted to approach the throne deep within the hall from one side, while observing the reactions of the phantoms of "Mother of Heaven" and "Goddess of Night".
They did not react when the first step was taken. The phantom of the "Goddess of Night" remained seated there, and the "Mother of Heaven" continued to gaze indifferently.
They took the second step, but still no response.
When they reached the third step, Raphael and Audrey's movements suddenly became stiff, each joint feeling like a mechanical part severely lacking oil.
Oops!
Although this was the first time Raphael had ever felt this way, his occult knowledge told him that it was the power of the "Master of Puppets"!
Looking again at the "Mother of Heaven," her originally indifferent gaze has turned into a gloomy smile.
He can actually control the "spiritual threads"!
"Since you have no intention of offering help, then stay here—" the "Mother of Heaven" said in a voice tinged with emptiness, "Stay here forever—"
Raphael's mind began to go numb, as if someone had injected an anesthetic into his brain. He desperately wanted to take a step back, but he just couldn't lift his legs.
He knew very well that he had to do everything he could to save himself!
Raphael almost instinctively infused the "gift of Adam" with spirituality; this simple act took him a full two seconds to complete.
Mental deprivation!
This time, the target of this ability is "Mother of Heaven".
However, the "Mother of Heaven" only momentarily lost focus, probably less than 0.1 seconds before returning to normal. Clearly, this level of ability had no effect on Sleeve at all.
At this moment, Raphael's numb mind finally came up with a decent solution.
He infused the "gift of Adam" with spirituality again, but this time it took a full four seconds. When he finished, he was completely unable to move, and his mind was almost blank. It could be said that he was only one step away from becoming a "secret doll".
However, he remained calm, because even if the situation worsened, whether it was "Initial" or "Celestial Venerable" who intervened, it would be enough to give "Mother of Heaven" a hard time.
This time, Raphael used the "mind stripping" ability again, but he didn't use it on "Mother of Heaven," but on Audrey.
In an instant, Audrey's eyes suddenly became blank, and then she trembled all over, while the "Mother of Heaven" on the other side also trembled.
This is because the effect of the "mind deprivation" ability was transmitted to the "Mother of Heaven" through the "spiritual thread".
This ability has not been amplified, but now Audrey and "Mother of Heaven" are almost one. Although "Mother of Heaven" has the status of an angel, Audrey is still a Sequence 5.
Therefore, this part of Audrey is the weak point of the "Heavenly Mother". Of course, if Audrey becomes a secret puppet, this weak point will no longer exist.
Audrey's fear of "Mother of Heaven" intensified, and the next second, Raphael's mind suddenly cleared, and his body regained its freedom.
The "Mother of Heaven" ended her manipulation of the "Threads of the Spirit".
Audrey screamed without any ladylike composure, then ran wildly through the hall, laughing hysterically.
Raphael quickly hoisted her onto his shoulders, using "Adam's Gift" to dispel her condition once more, and raced toward the throne.
The "Mother of Heaven" resumed her previous indifferent gaze and did not make any further moves.
Audrey's laughter finally stopped, and she basically returned to normal.
At Raphael's speed, he quickly approached the throne. The phantom of the "Goddess of Night" was right before him, and Raphael felt immense psychological pressure. If she moved a finger, he wouldn't be able to leave.
Fortunately, the other party still did not react.
He bypassed the throne as quickly as possible and finally arrived at the black stone gate behind it.
Just as Raphael was about to push the door open, he suddenly saw a black sword pierce through his chest.
He was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. When he turned around, the phantom of the "Goddess of the Night" had already turned around, with a black sword in her hand piercing Raphael's back.
Raphael cursed, "You old sly fox!"
If the opponent had attacked from the front, Raphael would have asked "The First" to take action without hesitation.
But with such a silent sneak attack, he didn't even have a chance to say hello to "the beginning"!
