Chapter 3572 The Werewolf Girl's Letter
Fortunately, the Moon Beast has never appeared in its entirety in the Sixth Era. Some time ago, the Archbishop of the Order of Doom attempted to summon a part of it using relics when he ambushed Claire in "Lower Spring," but he failed at the time (Chapter 3259).
The power of all the evil creatures imprisoned in this hotel is suppressed, so the "Moon Beast" here is definitely not in its complete form. Considering that the werewolf girl with the big tail probably wasn't one to exaggerate, Shad reached out to open the door:
“Miss Novare, do you understand the power of the sun? The power of the sun is the best at suppressing such evil things.”
"Consider yourself lucky. I am one of the few vampire witches who has learned the secrets of the sun."
The door was opened, but there was nothing waiting to attack them. When the candle in Shad's hand illuminated half of the room, they did not see any enormous creature huddled in the corner licking its wounds. Instead, they saw an amorphous, writhing mass of dark silver flesh and blood floating in the center of the room.
The polymer was roughly spherical, its color resembling rusted silver. Its surface wasn't smooth; instead, it was covered with constantly changing, moon-phase-like luminescent blood vessels.
As the flesh and blood wriggled, the whole body also transformed from a spherical shape to other forms. However, the forms observed by Shad included humanoid shapes that were rolled into balls, with an unusually twisted and indefinite number of limbs.
A sarcoma-like mass that closely resembles a heart, and this fleshy form oozes a silvery, blood-like viscous liquid.
The unicorn cub, its body curled up and wrapped in amniotic sac, looked far from sacred; instead, it gave Shad an instinctive feeling of disgust.
When the floating mass of dark silver flesh transformed into a sphere composed of multiple half-melted human heads, Xia De finally recovered from his shock. The sphere slowly rotated in the air, and the crescent-shaped or full-moon-shaped pupils of the human heads that made up the sphere stared blankly at the two people in front of him.
No matter what form that mass of flesh took, its surface was always covered with a layer of dim, filthy silver moonlight. This moonlight distorted the light and confused the perception of space. Shad had never imagined that moonlight could be so filthy.
However, the strange process of that dark silver flesh evolving, and its primal, life-like appearance, reminded Xia De of himself. He too was proficient in the power of flesh and blood; if he could transform into such a strange life form, perhaps he could find the root of the moon's maternal nature and thus master the moon's myriad forms.
Miss Noire suddenly nudged Shad, who was engrossed in watching. She had already looked away; the writhing and deforming of that mass of flesh made her feel as if her own body was also transforming into the shape of the moon, as if the moon's form was the ultimate goal of life's evolution.
"Stop looking, this is an evil object."
Shad then snapped out of his thoughts on the "maternal nature of the moon" and realized that he had been so engrossed in thinking about, feeling and learning about evil things.
Although the moon has both a gentle and a cold, cruel side, this kind of blasphemous attitude is definitely not the power the moon should possess.
After being reminded by Miss Novare, Shad realized that the flesh and blood before him were merely displaying a distorted form of the moon. Although he was quite talented in lunar magic, there was no need to learn such things. Perhaps the effects of absorbing the eldest son's flesh and blood and the pseudo-human mother fluid at the [Pseudo-Human House] a few days ago hadn't yet worn off, Shad believed that in his normal state, he shouldn't be so easily attracted.
"Is this a moon beast? It seems different from the information I've seen and the details you've mentioned."
Miss Novare said softly, but both of them, who wielded the power of the moon, knew it must be this. It just looked like the evil creature had been severely injured and reverted to its most primitive form, and was undergoing a re-evolution within that form.
Even so, the wrong moon is still the moon. In terms of sheer size, its radiance is brighter than that of the normal Shad and the vampire witch combined.
The hotel room was indestructible, so there were no signs of a battle inside, and Shad couldn't guess what the werewolf girl had done there. But she was definitely much stronger than when they parted ways at the "Strange Tree Academy." Even if the evil creature was suppressed in this hotel, it was hard to imagine that she could beat the "Moon Beast" like this.
The dark silver mass of flesh did not react to the arrival of the two. After confirming that there was no great danger, Shad and Miss Novare began to search the room together.
The werewolf girl had indeed left something in the room; a neatly folded letter lay conspicuously on the table not far from the mass of flesh. Inside, written in the common language of the mid-Fifth Era—
[Xade:]
haven't seen you for a long time!
I consulted the local deity, who asked me to handle two small matters for Him, and then told me that you would be coming here soon. I originally intended to wait here to meet you, but the moon is still calling me, and I must continue my journey, so this time I won't wait for you.
This moon beast's eyes once gazed upon the primordial moon. Though its eyes are now clouded, the primordial moon still retains a faint reflection in them. I saw that beautiful reflection and wanted to share it with you.
So I disposed of one of the moon beast's eyes, and to prevent it from getting it back, I entrusted it to the gods downstairs for safekeeping, hoping you can also see that beautiful reflection.
I must continue my pursuit of the moon, my pilgrimage. May we meet under the moon, and may the first silver moon protect you and me under the long night sky.
P.S.: I found a lot of good supplies in this hotel. I don't need them, but God said there's a storage fee for anything stored with Him, so I only entrusted my eyes to Him and put the rest of the supplies in the closet of this bedroom. You can go look for them; if you don't find them, that's fine. If you do find them, I hope this helps.
Miss Novare didn't understand the writing system of the future. When she saw a simple pencil drawing of a werewolf girl's self-portrait below the writing, she began to speculate about the relationship between Shad and Miss Bicester.
Looking at the simple drawing, Shad thought of the past and then translated the contents to Miss Novare, giving a brief explanation of the werewolf girl who could travel through time.
Upon learning that the other party was on a pilgrimage to the moon, searching for traces of the primordial moon across various timelines, the 12th-tier red-haired vampire expressed genuine envy:
“Such a pure and devout person is rare in our time. She is sure to reach the level of a demigod. The demigods I know are all as pure as her.”
Miss Bicester actually left some of her supplies with Miss Novare when she rescued her, but the werewolf girl left most of her supplies here to wait for Shad's arrival.
Shad wondered why the god hadn't mentioned the werewolf girl leaving him something, and "she" gently said:
[Perhaps you just agreed to exchange the key for information, and that eye is now in your hands.]
The supplies were quickly found in a somewhat dirty canvas bag. There was no food, but there was clean water in a pewter bottle. In addition, there was a box full of matches and a small silver candlestick with three candle stubs, making it resemble a trident.
A book titled "Dark Ages: Blood and Fire" contains some dark knowledge passed down from the Fourth Age; a small bottle of shimmering golden dust, with a note left by a werewolf girl saying that this dust can permanently transform any substance it comes into contact with into gold.
A golden apple, but not transformed from gold dust; it's a genuine relic derivative – the Golden Apple. When consumed whole, it can heal almost any injury, including irreversible ones caused by relics, making it a top-tier healing item. Furthermore, by using specific methods to craft a potion from the Golden Apple, it can also temporarily increase luck.
Shad had once obtained such a relic derivative and gave it to Iluna as her eighteenth birthday present. Shad then thought about how he hadn't prepared a gift for Adelina's eighteenth birthday yet, and the little princess would likely compare it to Iluna's, so Shad needed to put some effort into preparing one.
Besides these items, the bag also contained some alchemy and potion-making ingredients, all of which she had collected in this inn. Although these things were of little use to Shad, and he couldn't take them with him, these supplies would definitely be very useful to the witches who were temporarily trapped here.
The two left the room with their bounty, but since the moon beast was already imprisoned, no new keys appeared after they closed the door.
There was no third attack from the blood-dripping figure in the corridor. Miss Novare extinguished the oversized torch and carried it on her back, lit the newly acquired candlestick, and then asked Shad:
"I'm in pretty good shape right now, and we've got a supply of matches, so let's head up to the 40th floor and take a look."
Shad nodded:
"Then let's go."
Forty floors sounds high, but actually, starting from floor 25, it only requires climbing 15 floors. For the witch and the ring sorceress, climbing 15 floors consumes less stamina than they recover. The real challenge for them as they ascend lies in the increasingly dangerous environment.
The "residents" on each floor may leave their rooms, but they cannot break the rules to transfer between different floors via the stairs. The corners of the stairs on each floor are where the staircases meet the corridors, and the sealed evil entities can intervene in these areas.
The 26th and 27th floors were fine at first, but starting from the 28th floor, almost all the floors showed serious environmental hazards or had something waiting for them in the corridors.
