Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 786: Chapter 701: Ominous Premonition

“Are you sure?”

“I might mistake anything else, but I would never mistake the Fang Yu Map.”

Seeing the Dark Night Mother Goddess so confident, Ivan carefully recalled the earlier scene, his thoughts pausing on that gray-orange wasteland, yet he still couldn’t confirm which part represented the Fang Yu Map.

“Lady Lilabet, you must have seen the backlash just now, that shadow—” he hinted.

“I will clear it away, no one can stop me from retrieving the Fang Yu Map,” the Dark Night Mother Goddess declared firmly.

With that, she struck the crystal tree beside her with a casual blow, shattering the transparent crystal fragments, and extracted the section of root growing in the center.

A short segment, resembling a mutated yellow spine, rather peculiar.

“This thing suits you best.”

She did not keep it for herself, but handed it to Jenny, who couldn’t help but be drawn in when it was removed from the Root of the Earth.

“Thank you for the gift, Lady Lilabet.”

Jenny did not refuse, knowing that with the Dark Night Mother Goddess’s nature, there’s no use declining, not to mention it indeed had a strong appeal to her, helping to enhance Dragon Pan Power.

Subsequently, the Dark Night Mother Goddess said no more, used her power to sweep up the two, and continued downward.

No one knew when the lake water would rise, so she had to make the most of every available moment to find the correct path to the bottom.

“Sorcerer Ivan, you still get to choose which path to take.”

“Right.”

Shortly after, the three faced a fork in the path, and at the urging of the Dark Night Mother Goddess, Ivan pointed randomly to the path on the right.

This place blurred the difference in space, so there was actually no real up, down, left, or right.

The three seemed to always be descending, but in reality, they could be going up, left, or right; reaching the bottom of Moon Lake was not a simple task.

“This way.”

“Left.”

“Up.”

Seven days flew by, and the three of them had been rushing all along; to be precise, the Dark Night Mother Goddess was rushing, and the other two were taking advantage of her pace.

This Moon Lake truly seemed like a bottomless pit.

Even with the Dark Night Mother Goddess’s incredible speed, after seven days and an unknown distance traveled, there was still no end in sight, though they picked up quite a few good things along the way, which ended up in Ivan and Jenny’s pockets.

At midday, the Dark Night Mother Goddess halted with an unusually grim expression.

They had returned to a place they had passed a day and a half ago, meaning they had walked many unnecessary roads.

“Don’t ask me, you should know, I direct our way entirely by intuition; perhaps you should let Jenny try?” Seeing the Dark Night Mother Goddess glance at him, Ivan bluntly stated.

“No change, you’ll still lead the way later.” The Dark Night Mother Goddess said coldly.

“Alright then.” Ivan did not argue; he knew well that although the Dark Night Mother Goddess sometimes seemed easygoing and did not flaunt the airs of a supreme power, she was actually a stubborn and headstrong old woman.

Only when mentioning the Mother of Earth Core would the Dark Night Mother Goddess show some warmth in front of him.

“Lady Lilabet, why don’t you leave me here, and you and Sorcerer Ivan can carry on; this way, you might conserve some energy?” Jenny suddenly suggested.

“No need.” The Dark Night Mother Goddess dismissed without a thought.

The three resumed their journey. The scenery around changed constantly, but no matter how it changed, it was still a few monotonous things; it seemed as if they hadn’t moved at all.

Two more days later, they had to stop once again.

This time, the Dark Night Mother Goddess looked even grimmer; they had returned to a place from four days ago, retreating further backwards.

However, the Dark Night Mother Goddess was undeterred, not pausing for a moment before setting off again on the quest.

Time flew by, and nine days passed in a blink, the lake water finally started to rise, forcing the three of them to rapidly retreat. With their formidable memory, they naturally would not forget the path they had taken.

This time, they deliberately chose a shortcut, sprinting all the way.

“How is this possible?”

“There are other, shorter paths that exist.”

The three initially thought they would return smoothly, but once again, they were blocked midway; the raging lunar liquid had completely filled the path ahead.

“Do not act rashly, I will safely get you out.”

Before either could speak, the Dark Night Mother Goddess said with a solemn expression, and in the next second, she revealed her Supreme King Body, indicating she was ready to fight desperately.

This was the first time Ivan saw the Dark Night Mother Goddess’s supreme form of the Supreme King Body.

She had pale purple skin, pointed long elf-like ears, and a cascading mane of verdant hair like floating vines; she was clad in a brilliant yellow armored dress, wielding a Moon Blade in each hand, with a slowly unfurling scroll floating above her head, appearing regal and valiant.

What captured the most attention was her face.

A pair of deep black eyes, as if containing two celestial bodies that devoured all light, haunting and soul-stirring, but with twisted cracks on the sides from which faint black light seeped, adding a menacing aura.

At this point, her Supreme King Body was not extended to its fullest, merely ten meters or so.

“Poof!”

The Dark Night Mother Goddess, enveloping the two, charged into the lunar liquid, and at the instant of contacting the poisonous lunar liquid, the scroll above her head descended, transforming into a shield that enclosed her entirely within.

The patterns on the scroll vividly displayed three crescent moons—one black, one purple, one green.
