Chapter 331: Chapter 308: It’s That Dragon Again

Amberser’s greatest desire was still to have a chat with Magic Goddess Mistrall.

What’s more, the likes of Master of Spellcasting Azus, he was roughly on the same level as Laila. Once the war of the gods commenced, with the hammer of the Lord of the Dawn smashing down, both Azus and Laila combined couldn’t stand against it.

Hardly even a shield-bearer, naturally they were of little use.

But Magic Goddess Mistrall was different, she was also known as the strongest beneath Aeo. Moreover, compared to the Elf Lord God Corellon, Magic Goddess Mistrall was a Concept God, unaffected by the number of believers; Magic Goddess was magic itself.

The stronger the magic, the stronger the Magic Goddess.

In Amberser’s heart, a single Magic Goddess was equivalent to the entire Elf divine system.

As long as he could have a few words with the Magic Goddess, he believed he could definitely make her see him in a different light, for as everyone knows, the Magic Goddess was an exceedingly generous deity.

This Goddess was so generous that when mortals sought to take her power, she showed no resistance, even helping them become deities.

And then, that mortal overreached. Lacking the ability themselves, they sought to control the Magic Web, leading to its great collapse, the death of the old Magic Goddess, the birth of the new Magic Goddess Mistrall, and then all mages had their spell casting ability restricted.

Although the new Magic Goddess seemed strict, it wasn’t really the case. Magic Goddess Mistrall knew the mortals caused such serious damage and, in the end, merely restricted mortals’ spell casting ability—what punishment was that? It was nothing more than a defensive measure.

Beyond that, Mistrall was very generous in another aspect.

As long as she favored a mage, Mistrall was willing to maintain a romantic relationship with them.

Therefore, when many mages referred to Mistrall as their Goddess, there was an additional meaning to this title.

Historically, numerous famous mages had dalliances with the Magic Goddess, so many that any mage who boasted about having slept with the Magic Goddess was difficult to disprove.

This couldn’t be blamed on the Goddess for being too open; the deities of this world all had the habit of sleeping with their excellent followers. For instance, the Rose Spider Queen often had female Drow Elves serve her; Corellon too had rumors of descending to bless the elves and then, well, doing that; even the Lord of the Dawn had followers who claimed to have been entwined with Him for an entire night, but mostly it was said by men, so it wasn’t too credible.

Perhaps, for deities, developing intimate relationships with their followers was a kind of alternative blessing.

Because of this custom, even when Amberser was still alive, he had fantasized about having more than a friendly relationship with this Goddess.

Unfortunately, even until Amberser became a Lich, he had never seen this Magic Goddess, let alone done anything with her.

Since she was such a generous Goddess, it definitely wouldn’t be too hard to communicate with her.

Even if he couldn’t gain Mistrall’s full recognition, at the very least, he could close the gap in their relationship.

That’s what Amberser thought, but Laila hesitated and said, "I can’t guarantee it. Although Azus is the Lady of Mist’s Lesser God, the Goddess might not be willing to meet me. She rarely gets involved in the disputes of other deities."

Amberser expressed his understanding; this was a long-term mission, and he hadn’t expected to achieve his goal momentarily.

"In that case, please allow me to dedicate the deity position to you."

Just as Amberser was preparing to leave the dream, Laila said, "Wait, I am but a projection right now, my flesh has long since merged with this land. To merge the deity position, you must find my bones. Only by infusing the deity position into my bones can I be reborn and become a deity again."

"Where are your bones then?" Amberser asked a bit nervously, having a vague bad feeling about this.

They wouldn’t be buried in some hard-to-reach place, would they?

Indeed, a Diviner Mage’s premonitions were never off the mark, Laila said somewhat sheepishly: "Right in the center of this forest, there is a massive banyan tree. The Druid Council’s Emerald Palace is built atop the tree, and my bones are under the tree’s roots, about three hundred meters underground."

"Goddess, I am a lich, wishing to enter the core of the Emerald Dream Forest, I’m afraid I would have been killed by those druids long ago, not to mention digging three hundred meters under their most important tree. Please forgive my powerlessness."

Wasn’t this asking Amberser to fight his way through the entire forest alone, angering that group of druids? It was possible that a dozen dragons would be breathing dragonfire at him, something even Mithril armor couldn’t withstand.

Laila hurriedly said, "Don’t worry, I will help you. Tonight, I will manipulate the effect of the Dreamweave Barrier, making most of the druids fall into a deep sleep. At that time, if you move quietly, you should not be detected."

"Aren’t those druids immune to the effects of this barrier?"

Laila confidently said, "That was the past, the Dreamweave Barrier was transformed from my corpse, I have absolute control over it. I decide who sleeps, and they will sleep."

Amberser breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to the task.

His consciousness rapidly returned to the Mithril Mech, Amberser noticed that the magic traps around him had not been triggered. This probably meant that no one had been there. Looking at the sky, he saw it was already sunset, so he wouldn’t have to wait too long.

Amberser then found a secluded corner and sat behind a large rock, patiently waiting for night to come.

The sun’s light gradually disappeared, replaced by the stars sprinkling the sky.

Amberser, prompted by the Lady of Mist, Laila, knew the Mist Barrier had begun to transform.

He cautiously made his way toward the center of the Emerald Dream Forest, indeed seeing many animals lying asleep on the ground, and occasionally a pair of druids hugging intimately, or one or two druids enveloped in a warm embrace with an animal.

Well, the nature-loving druids certainly knew no bounds in expressing themselves.

Despite witnessing quite a few eye-watering scenes, it was clear the Lady of Mist had not erred; the druids were unable to resist the influence of the Dreamweave Barrier, falling into a deep slumber.

"Now, I can speed up!"

Amberser opened his private space and summoned a set of flamethrower armor to put over the Mithril armor. Together with a jetpack on his back, Amberser flew towards his destination at supersonic speed.

Along the way, loud booms echoed, but the sleeping druids were not woken by the noise and continued to sleep soundly.

Just when Amberser thought he was going to make it through smoothly, as he saw the towering banyan tree reaching into the clouds, he also saw a young druid standing on the treetop, looking at Amberser with angry eyes.

This druid bellowed at Amberser, "What are you? What have you done to the Dreamweave Barrier?!"

Before Amberser could even respond, he saw the druid leap from a tree branch, his body rapidly expanding in mid-air, transforming into a Silver Giant Dragon.

Seeing this dragon, Amberser recognized him as Brandir Sunda, that druid who had desperately pursued Katherine last time!

Why wasn’t he affected by the Dreamweave Barrier?

Amberser immediately thought of a reason—the power of Legendary Grace. This guy’s Legendary Grace was likely related to resisting abnormal states, just like the Elf being immune to the effects of the Dreamweave Barrier.

This was troublesome. Amberser did not want to kill here; that would be a major problem.

However, the Silver Dragon had already flown towards Amberser, biting his Mithril Mech and producing a sound of metal twisting.

"Sigh!"

Amberser let out a sigh, pulled out the Magic-Breaking Blade, and plunged it into the throat of the Silver Dragon.
