Chapter 258 The Prisoner of the "Goddess of the Night"
Audrey looked at the cross Raphael was holding and felt a strange attraction to it.
After a moment's thought, she realized that the cross corresponded to a demigod-level sealed artifact from the "Audience" pathway, which was why it had a strange attraction for her.
This matches the intelligence she had previously received.
During a previous tarot reading, she heard "Judgment" Hugh say that Raphael possessed a Level 1 sealed artifact, and now she can confirm it.
Moreover, Audrey noticed that the aura emanating from the cross was somewhat strange.
Audrey couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange about it, but she felt that it wasn't an ordinary Level 1 sealed artifact.
Raphael's spiritual awareness noticed that when he revealed "Adam's Gift," the surrounding space seemed to experience some kind of turbulence.
He smiled slightly, which actually confirmed his guess that Adam had indeed made some arrangements on this cross.
However, Raphael was not worried, because the old guys inside him were not to be trifled with, and Adam could not possibly write a story that included him.
The only thing that can be done is to steer some storylines toward Raphael, but the choice of whether or not to enter that story is Raphael's.
Just like the previous "Eye of Illusion" incident, Raphael could sense that something was wrong, but in the end he still chose to enter that story.
After proving this conjecture, Raphael would certainly do the same thing again if he encountered a similar situation.
At that moment, Raphael held high the "gift of Adam" and used the power of "mental deprivation".
This ability is an upgraded version of "Dragon's Might," and it has two uses. One use is to identify the main attack target, and the other use is to spread the ability outwards from Raphael as the center.
At this moment, Raphael used the second method, refraining from actively attacking the female figure on the throne.
This ability wouldn't cause much harm to the female figure, but Raphael didn't intend to harm her either. He just wanted Adam's aura to make her hesitate and observe for a while.
The female figure did not attack immediately, giving Audrey enough time to open the red wooden door.
The wooden door opened again, revealing the sixth level of the dream. The female shadow beside the throne became increasingly solid. In addition to the black veil covering her face, she was also wearing a long dress dotted with stars.
After Audrey stepped into the sixth floor, she confirmed that this was the image of the "Goddess of the Night".
Because at a tarot gathering last year, Mr. "The World" showed everyone the human forms of the Six Gods, and the human form of the "Goddess of the Night" was very similar to this female shadow.
Fortunately, this was just the dreamer's impression of the "Goddess of the Night," not the real goddess, or even an incarnation of the "goddess." Otherwise, Raphael and Audrey, those two little Sequence 5s, would never have been able to get out.
Upon arriving at this floor, as soon as the door was closed, the two people's feet disappeared, as if they had entered a "secret" state.
Raphael quickly revealed the "Cursed Crystal," which contained a curse left by the "Ancient Sun God." Although its uses were limited, it was of a higher level than the cross he had just used.
Almost instantly, Raphael had infused the "Cursed Crystal" with spiritual energy. Just as he was about to use it, Raphael sensed that the surrounding space was violently turbulent, and the phantom of the "Goddess of Night" beside the throne also revealed a solemn look.
Raphael knew that he didn't need to use the "cursed crystal"; simply infusing it with spirituality would be enough to attract the attention of this dream layer.
He prefers to avoid using it if possible, since this magical item can only be used four times.
Audrey, who was in charge of opening the door, glanced back at the crystal in Raphael's hand. She could sense that the crystal seemed special and of a very high level.
However, she only glanced at it before pushing the door open and going inside.
In the seventh layer of the dream, the shadowy figure before the throne was no different from an ordinary person. It was a woman dressed in a black classical dress. Her clothes were layered but not complicated, inlaid with starlight, like the night sky. Her body was somewhat ethereal, with signs of ripples spreading outwards. Her face seemed to be covered by layers of thin veils, hazy yet exceptionally beautiful.
Even Raphael could confirm that this was undoubtedly the image of the "Goddess of the Night".
In addition, there are no stone statues here, only a dark shadow at the top of the center of the hall.
After the two people entered, the red wooden door behind them closed automatically and disappeared on its own.
Raphael and Audrey both breathed a sigh of relief, which proved that this was the deepest part of the dream.
The phantom of the "Goddess of the Night" on this floor didn't seem aggressive; it just sat there quietly.
Behind the throne are two stone doors —
Raphael and Audrey's spirituality immediately realized: that was the way out!
Neither of them made any rash moves. Instead, they planned to observe the phantom of the "Goddess of the Night" and the shadow on the top of the hall before approaching the throne.
The phantom of the "Goddess of the Night" sat there quietly. Strangely, in the seventh layer of the dream, neither Raphael nor Audrey's spirits sensed any danger.
Meanwhile, the dark shadow on the top of the hall was slowly writhing, like a large drop of black water moving slowly.
It noticed Raphael and Audrey's gaze, suddenly lengthened and solidified, and instantly transformed into a female figure.
She had a beautiful face, dark eyes, and an indescribable clarity in her gaze. Her demeanor was not arrogant, but she gave off an air of keeping people at a distance.
Raphael and Audrey stared at each other warily, but neither sensed any malice from the other.
The woman floated in mid-air, glanced at Raphael and Audrey, and then asked, "Did you come in from outside?"
Raphael stepped forward: "Yes. Is this your dream?"
"Yes."
Yes?
Raphael was taken aback; what he had just said was purely a guess. This couldn't possibly be the dream of the "Goddess of Night," or the dream of some character in the first layer of the dream.
The woman said expressionlessly, "The darkness has locked me here, but I sense it's in big trouble. I believe I'll be out of here soon."
Unless permitted by the "Goddess of Night," or one can circumvent the "Goddess of Night's" authority, no one can utter His name.
Therefore, the woman can only be referred to as "darkness," otherwise Raphael and Audrey wouldn't hear anything.
Raphael and Audrey were both somewhat surprised that this pretty woman was trapped deep within her own dream.
Then the woman said again, "I can help you hold back the dark phantom over there, allowing you to get out of here safely, but you also need to do me a favor."
Raphael neither agreed nor refused, but instead asked, "What kind of help do you need?"
The pretty woman said, "Give this oil painting that seals my dream to Antigonus, and I know He must still be alive!"
'
Raphael suddenly understood: "You are the Mother of Heaven!"
