Chapter 264

The ground continued to tremble, some of the Soundless cultists turned transparent and entered the aspect of silence, but very quickly, their bodies reappeared in the air.

Their expressions were twisted, their veins bulged, then their bodies quickly withered and turned into dried up lumps.

The thing that had been hiding in the darkness had finally revealed its true form. It was a large number of roots.

The Soundless Cult's strongest point was their ability to travel to other aspects. In other aspects, living beings would become transparent, lifeless objects, while inanimate objects would become living beings.

However, plants were a bit strange. They were living beings, but they didn't have much of an [Origin]. On the other hand, in the aspect of silence, their biological characteristics and [Origin] would be more abundant, perhaps they would even be able to reproduce into a plant civilization from a certain aspect.

It was because of the characteristics of plants that the Soundless Cult were unable to deal with the abnormal lifeforms that were plants.

These roots were another product of several thousand years ago, apart from the sprout, from the underground.

At that time, when the underground Mother Tree died and the crops withered, to deal with these two situations, two plans were devised. One of them was the current crucial point, the sprout of the Moon Tree, while the other was the true form of these roots.

The first was a super plant that was bred from the corpses of elves. It was able to perfectly adapt to the underground environment, growing a large number of edible plants on the surface, as well as possessing a certain degree of offensive capabilities.

During the past several thousand years, while standing guard around the area, it had devoured quite a few Gluttonous Demon Ghosts, causing its offensive capabilities to grow even stronger. Combined with Pernod's meticulous nurturing, this super plant that was originally bred as food had completely turned into a man-eating demonic plant.

It brandished its tentacles and rose from the ground, capable of completely absorbing a person's blood and other vital substances in a short amount of time. At the same time, its roots had spread all around the Mother Tree, giving it a massive system and astonishing vitality.

It was no wonder that Darr sensed danger. If he had rashly charged in and was surrounded by a large number of plant roots, even if he borrowed the power of mutation, he would still be quickly killed.

Pernod looked at the group of ear-cutters and roughly understood where they came from.

The three Pillar Gods of the elven world, the Dim Silence Envoy, the Scion of Life, and the Hunter, each of them had their own duties, managing the elven race under the Moon Tree.

Among them, the Scion of Life was in charge of the reproduction of the elves within the world, the Dim Silence Envoy was a secret agent to invade other worlds, and finally, the Hunter was in charge of the actual war of invasion.

This city's function leaned towards the Dim Silence Envoy, so it was only after the Dim Silence Envoy was killed that the city sunk into the ground.

Spell Breakers were also the Divine Warriors of the Specter Envoys.

Complete Magi-breakers possessed the Mana Eye, which allowed them to see through all sorts of falsehoods and flaws, as well as the ability to enter other aspects of reality. With the Dim Silence Envoy's great power, they were able to infiltrate other worlds, and thanks to their unique characteristics as a Magi-breaker, they would never be discovered.

This was also the reason why the will of the Moon Tree had arranged for Chromie to obtain the Mana Eye. The Mana Eye was the core Secret Skill of a Magi-breaker.

From the very beginning, the will of the Moon Tree had linked Chromie to the Soundless cult in order to further strengthen Chromie.

"A few people who accidentally obtained the power of the Dim Silence Envoy, huh?" Pernod looked up. He could sense that the Dim Silence Envoy hadn't completely dissipated from another aspect.

He was indeed killed by the seven Gods, but at their level, death was nothing more than another aspect of life. Especially for an entity like the Dim Silence Envoy who had comprehended the perspective of the world, their understanding of their own existence was even more astonishing.

That was why a part of the Dim Silence Envoy's body was still lying on the aspect of silence, regarded as a Deity by the Soundless cult.

Of course, it was only hard to destroy. In this state, the Dim Silence Envoy didn't even need to be sealed, as any signs of awakening would be suppressed by Eternal Heat.

"No need to worry, nothing can stop our path" the Grand Priest didn't panic. The High Priest did not panic. He had expected a certain level of resistance. Otherwise, he would have been suspicious if he had obtained the key item so easily.

Several bald cultists stepped out from the crowd, flames dancing on their bodies.

These bald cultists took off their robes to reveal their muscular bodies, as well as the various sapphire gems embedded on their bodies.

The Soundless cult's supernatural abilities originated from the Dim Silence Envoy, they used the elven bloodline inside their bodies as well as the blood of evil to obtain the Dim Silence Envoy's warped mana.

However, the blood of evil had a limit, exceeding a certain amount would trigger a curse. For this reason, they had naturally thought of ways to improve the situation, the most common of which was to use gems to store mana, which would allow them to utilize a large amount of mana.

And the reason why the Soundless cult was in such a hurry to awaken their God was due to a certain limitation of gems. After storing mana, they had to keep the mana inside at full capacity, otherwise, the gems would shatter after a short while. In other words, gems were single-use items, which led to the greatest flaw of using gems to store mana: money.

While being suppressed by the Sun Shadow church and the Hermit Order, the Soundless cult had fallen into a predicament. They had no money, and without money, they had no gems, and without gems, their strength would rapidly fall. For this reason, they had no choice but to risk their lives, which was an indescribable tragedy.

The gems on the bald cultists' bodies glowed, blue mana began to take effect, causing the surrounding rocks and dirt to come to life, turning into the aspect of silence, which then attached themselves onto the bald cultists' bodies.

Their bodies grew larger and larger, quickly turning into shapeless giants. They had no faces, opened their mouths wide, uttered a terrifying roar, then stepped into the defensive circle.

A large number of roots broke through the ground and pierced into the giants' bodies, but couldn't absorb any more vitality. Borrowing the power of the warped mana, they were able to unify the characteristics of two aspects of existence, granting the giants the characteristics of living beings as well as the characteristics of rocks and dirt.

The giants roared as they moved their feet, then raised their gigantic hands to pull at the roots. More and more roots appeared on the giants' bodies, but as the giants struggled, more would take their place with each tug.

Compared to a super plant that had been cultivated for over a thousand years, the giants were still a bit weak.

Seeing this, the corner of the Grand Priest's mouth twitched, then waved his hand again with a pained expression. Several cultists carried a chest over, from which they took out a sword forged from gems that glowed blue.

One of the cultists came in front of the Grand Priest with a sincere expression, loudly shouting: "Silence forever!!"
