Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 218 As Mr. Destiny Said

In the dark night with relatively low lightning frequency, the exploration team of Silver City once again arrived at the outskirts of the semi-abandoned temple.

Derrick remembered everything that had happened during his previous five visits to the temple, and remembered the hints given by Mr. Fate.

"It is because of Ouroboros, the angel of destiny, that we are trapped in a looping space. Now, I must try to find all the information about the angel of destiny, whether it is the mural or the terrifying little boy."

Chief Elder Colin pulled out a dark blue metal bottle from the secret compartment of his belt and smeared the colorless viscous liquid inside on his straight sword.

Then he thrust his sword upwards.

The sky suddenly lit up, and rays of light like silver snakes moved above and quickly spread in all directions.

Hiss, hiss, a thin silver snake dived into the void, running towards an unknown place.

Colin half-closed his eyes, not knowing what he was sensing. After five full seconds, he raised his finger and pointed forward, saying:
"From now on, there can be no negligence and the alertness should be raised to the highest level."

Derrick calmed down and followed the team into the temple without any slackness. He took the initiative to fight for the task of exploring the murals.

He carried a fur lantern, held the "Hurricane Axe", and operated as a team with a teammate.

After passing through one wall after another, some mottled and some collapsed, he finally reached his destination.

Derrick looked at the wall, trying to find a pattern related to the "Angel of Destiny".

At the highest point on the mottled wall was a blurry black cross, with a shadow whose specific appearance was difficult to see hanging upside down on it.

Against this backdrop, there is a desolate and silent plain.

A long procession was walking in the plain, and their goal was the high mountain in the distance, and the cross and the upside-down man on the top of the mountain.

In this team, some members were still kneeling on the ground praying, while others had stood up and were walking forward against the strong wind.

The faces of the team members were simply outlined, and only the leader at the front was quite clear.

He was a tall and thin man with silver hair that reached his vest.

The man had soft features, his head lowered, his eyes closed, and layers of glowing wings behind him.

Angel! Could this leader be the "Angel of Destiny"?
Derrick excitedly observed the situation around the "leader". He found a winding, shimmering river under the feet of the man who looked like an angel.

The river keeps turning, circling back, and injecting itself into itself, becoming the source.

Cycle! Yes, this pattern depicts the "Angel of Destiny"! It is the key node that Mr. "Destiny" mentioned.

Derrick raised the Hurricane Axe and chopped fiercely at the river on the mural. The flash of lightning was attracted and attached to the Hurricane Axe.

boom!
Derrick's chopping caused the wall to dent, stone chips to fly everywhere, and the river that connected the beginning and the end was completely severed.

The next moment, Colin rushed over and asked, "What are you doing?"

“I saw a little boy. He flashed past the wall.” Derrick said quickly.

After the attempt just now, he has determined that the node of the loop is not the "Angel of Destiny" on the mural, but Mr. "Destiny"'s hint cannot be wrong. There must be other items related to the "Angel of Destiny" here.

"It's inevitable to be nervous when you participate in this kind of mission for the first time. Just follow me..." Colin reminded in an unquestionable tone.

Derrick lost the chance to try alone. He followed Elder Colin and made similar explorations as in the previous actions. He finally arrived at the final hall with the altar for the sixth time and found the little boy with yellow hair curled up in the shadows. The little boy with yellow hair shouted, "Save me...save me..."

“Could the node left by the angel of destiny be on this little boy?” Derrick couldn’t help but think.

Before Elder Colin spoke, he suddenly asked:
"How should I save you?"

The little boy showed an excited expression:

"Save me, send me home!"

"Where is your home?"

Derrick listened to the little boy's story with excitement. Just like what everyone in the Tarot Club said, Jack came from another world.

"Just as Mr. Destiny once said, the City of Silver and their world have a focus, and this focus is precisely..."

Thinking of this, Derrick couldn't help but tremble in his voice. He asked:
"How did you get here?"

The little boy Jack showed a look of reminiscence:

"My father and I first took a boat, and then joined his companions. After a big storm, the rest of us landed on land and followed the direction of the Lord's vision until we came here."

The sea! Just as Mr. Fate said, the intersection between them and the other world is the Sonia Sea! Yes, what Mr. Fate said was confirmed here!

The excitement in Derrick's heart had overcome his fatigue and fear. As long as they paid a sufficient price, Mr. "Destiny" would lead them to a new world and save the City of Silver.

At this moment, he keenly discovered that the clothes between the chest and abdomen of the little boy Jack were stained dark red, and it seemed that liquid was slowly oozing out.

"Are you hurt?" Derrick asked cautiously.

Jack lowered his head and answered in a vague tone:
"Some ugly things have grown..."

As he spoke, the little boy opened his clothes, revealing his bare chest and abdomen.

On it, there are two eyes, a nose and a mouth!
It only took Derrick a second or two to realize where he had seen the face on Jack's chest before:

This human face looks very much like the angel in the mural, the silver-haired angel stepping on the circulating river, that is, the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroboros!
The node of the loop is here!
Derrick did not act rashly. Instead, he lowered his voice and said to Demon Hunter Colin:
"Sir, the face on his chest is very similar to the angel in the mural. It's the angel with silver hair and a river running through his feet."

Colin frowned. He was surprised at Derrick's sharpness and said coldly:
“That angel is the Tail-Swallower, one of the eight angel kings under the Lord. Seeing Him here probably means that we have stepped into a river that is connected end to end and cannot be left.

Fortunately, this should be just some power left by the angel of destiny, and He is not hiding here."

The next moment, Colin thrust the long sword in his hand into the ground, pulled out another straight sword with his backhand, and smeared it with golden oil like the sun.

Suddenly, the "Monster Hunter" Colin moved. He pulled out the long sword from the ground, leaving a blurry figure on the spot.

The golden and silver lights shone brightly, illuminating the entire underground hall. After the human face on the little boy Jack's chest screamed miserably, darkness enveloped the altar again.

As the face on the boy's chest completely decayed, Derrick felt an invisible barrier like a water wall appear around him, and then shattered.

He breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, they had left the looping space.
