Jade Banshee!
Marvin discovered her aura.
He was currently on a high platform, overlooking the entire dungeon.
He saw the Jade Banshee quickly moving through the dungeon. She might not have expected someone to be able to follow her, because she was moving casually and not hiding her tracks.
This made it a lot more convenient for Marvin to keep track of her.
Marvin turned back to normal and used Stealth before chasing after her.
The two ran through the Regis Ruins, one behind the other. Marvin very cautiously followed the same route the Banshee took.
This place was filled with an ominous aura. Who knew how many traps were in the dungeon?
Marvin didn't want to reveal himself, and from the casual way the Banshee was moving, it looked like she was certain she wouldn't trigger a trap.
The two rushed through the dungeon for about ten minutes before reaching the central area.
This was a public square.
The edges of the public square were in ruins, and from the look of them, it seemed that some formidable power had once erupted in the public square, causing the surrounding buildings to all collapse.
Marvin hid behind the ruins cautiously.
He glanced restlessly to the east, where the Dungeon Core was still beating vigorously.
Some Chaos Magic Power drifted around in the air. Marvin felt that the Chaos Magic Power looked like a living Fairy lusting after him.
That feeling made him very uncomfortable.
The Magic Power was too strange.
But when the Banshee stopped in front of the stone statue in the public square, his pupils shrank!
Miss Silvermoon!
There was actually a statue of Miss Silvermoon here!
Marvin frowned. A statue of Miss Silvermoon was in the Regis Ruins... What did it mean?
This kind of statue was basically a medium of worship.
Could the Regis' casters be an unconventional Magic Organization that believed in Miss Silvermoon?
And was their destruction related to Miss Silvermoon's fall?
A series of conjectures popped into Marvin's mind.
As the woman was being rather careless, Marvin decided to get closer.
The Jade Banshee was staying right in front of the statue of Miss Silvermoon.
With his superior eyesight, Marvin managed to see a floating skull!
A faint light was emitting from the skull.
Marvin realized that this was a Lich's skull!
The Lich himself might not be there, but this skull was basically his half-avatar.
Marvin became more cautious and chose a relatively dark area to hide in while still watching conveniently.
At that time, he suddenly noticed something wrong with the statue.
'That statue… Isn't it too realistic?'
'If it was crafted by a craftsman, it could be considered a Heavenly work.'
Although Marvin wasn't familiar with Miss Silvermoon herself, he knew what kind of person she was.
After all, with his obsession with the game, he knew information about almost every major character in Feinan.
That statue was too realistic.
Even the painful expression was portrayed miraculously, seeming so real.
Marvin was in disbelief.
'Hold on! That's not right.'
'If it was a statue used for Faith, it would never be in such a situation.'
Marvin wiped his eyes and looked at the statue of Miss Silvermoon once again before realized what had felt wrong.
This seemed to be the scene of Miss Silvermoon's death!
There was a deathly hole in her stomach, and both hands were drooping powerlessly as it looked like she wanted to grab something.
Her expression was one of extreme pain, mixed with struggle and disbelief.
So many different feelings could be seen so vividly in one statue. Marvin didn't believe that there was a craftsman able to do that in this world!
So besides that, there was only one other explanation.
This was Miss Silvermoon!
This was her fallen Divine Body!
Despite this being a ridiculous conjecture, Marvin instinctively felt that this was most likely the truth.
Even though after a God's death, their God Realm would fall and form a terrible black hole, sucking the Divine Body in before falling continuously into depths of the Astral Plane, there were also some exceptions. Due to some special reasons, a God's Divine Body could remain instead.
Right now, Marvin was a bit interested in Miss Silvermoon's death.
Miss Silvermoon was someone that shouldn't be provoked in this world.
Moon Goddess Faniya was very low-key, as a 1st generation Ancient God that rarely showed her face, but her strength was on the same level as that of the Nature God and the Elven God.
Marvin recalled the origins of Miss Silvermoon:
It was said that in ancient times, Feinan broke away from Chaos and the power of Order rose up under Lance's strength.
At that time, monsters from the depths of the Universe didn't appear anymore and Feinan had a short period of peace.
The Moon Goddess, as a 1st generation Ancient God, was basically born alongside the Nature God and the Elven God.
One day, she left alone for the depths of the Wilderness and was said to have taken a nap under an old osmanthus tree. After waking up, she had a baby in her arms.
The baby had powerful Divinity and the Moon Goddess was very fond of her. She felt that the baby was a daughter bestowed by the heavens and granted her a part of her Divine Power.
She brought Miss Silvermoon back to Feinan, who then became part of the Ancient Gods with Lance's approval.
After Miss Silvermoon became an adult, Faniya personally crafted a pair of straight daggers tailored just for her.
Those were the legendary Cold Light's Grasps.
Not only were the daggers a masterpiece among Divine Weapons, but they were also enchanted with Magic and Divine properties. Furthermore, they were cultivated by Miss Silvermoon herself, to the point that later on, that Artifact's reputation had surpassed Nightfall, which had been created by the Shadow Prince by going all over the Universe.
This was roughly what Marvin knew of Miss Silvermoon.
He knew this because of Cold Light's Grasps. As for her fall, there was no official information about it in the game, and no gossipping player had let out anything about it in the forums.
But Marvin felt something suspicious.
The Moon Goddess was one of the most powerful Ancient Gods. Even though she didn't interfere with the other God Realms, if someone provoked her, it wouldn't end well.
In history, there had once been a talented Demon Lord appearing in the Abyss.
That Demon Lord was born with low standing, but he was shockingly gifted. He killed his way out of a bloody sea and slowly became a bright star among the Demons. But because he was showing off during his rise, he somehow offended the Moon Goddess, which led to Faniya directly annihilating the Abyssal Plane where the Demon Lord was living!
A whole Abyssal Plane!
What was even stranger was that the other Demon Lords remained silent.
The Moon Goddess' action was a ruthless slap, but none of them reacted.
Although this matter didn't mean much, it was enough to highlight the Moon Goddess' strength.
It wasn't inferior to that of the New Gods' Great Gods.
Under such circumstances, if someone dared to act against Miss Silvermoon, even though the Moon Goddess couldn't openly start a fight due to the rules of the Crimson Wasteland, she could still retaliate privately.
If someone wanted to make a move, they would have to check whether they had the strength to become one of the first-rate experts of the Universe.
There was definitely a secret behind all of this.
...
While Marvin was thinking, that floating skull suddenly opened its mouth. "Trash!"
The angry voice echoed throughout the ruins and made Marvin turn his attention back from his musing.
He didn't directly look at the Lich's skull because a Lich's avatar usually had very strong Perception spells.
He only needed to listen, not look.
"You couldn't stop a few Humans so you let them leave!"
"You have made me very disappointed!"
The Jade Banshee explained while feeling wronged, "We met some very troublesome enemies."
"One of them was a Paladin who could use the Truth Scale. You know of the restraining effect of the Truth Scale on Puppy. The Truth God died such a long time ago. How could I have expected a follower of the Truth God to appear there?"
"Furthermore, the other one is a Great Druid. His speed is frightening and his blade skills were able to cut down my Mist Dragon instantly!"
"In that situation, I could only choose to guard the ruins."
The Jade Banshee's words clearly had some weight.
After a long time, the Lich head mumbled, "Paladin of the Truth God? I haven't seen one for so many years."
"And a Great Druid capable of instantly killing a Mist Dragon? Damn it, I underestimated those two."
"Okay, let's forget about it. It's good that they didn't find Luna. My Barrier will be activated in half an hour, and there will be no living beings in the dungeon, so you can leave."
"I met a bit of trouble here, I need you and Puppy's help."
The Jade Banshee's voice gained a tone of delight as she said, "Yes. I'll rush over immediately!"
The two didn't say anything afterwards, and the Lich's head quickly darkened, landing in the Banshee's embrace.
She glanced at the statue, but remained silent and quickly left.
...
'Half an hour? Barrier? Luna?'
Marvin looked at the silhouette of the Jade Banshee leaving as suspicions filled his heart.
It wasn't strange for a Lich to appear, but what was he trying to do?
Luna was the nickname of Miss Silvermoon, so it looked like the relationship between the two was pretty good.
Could this statue truly be Miss Silvermoon's Divine Body?
Marvin took advantage of the Jade Banshee's departure to move forward a bit in order to examine the statue more closely.
But he hadn't expected that as he drew closer, the statue's finger would lightly shake!
