Chapter 260 The Reward of the "Goddess of the Night"
The black longsword of the phantom "Goddess of the Night" pierced through Raphael's chest.
The longsword seemed to drain all his strength, and he slowly fell forward, causing Audrey, whom he was carrying on his shoulder, to fall to the ground.
Just as Raphael was about to fall, Audrey caught him.
Audrey's eyes still held a trace of madness, but she had largely regained her senses. She quickly helped Raphael up and pushed open the stone door with one hand.
Whoosh~
The stone door was pushed open, revealing a pitch-black passage.
The "Mother of Heaven" hanging on the ceiling of the main hall seemed not to have expected that Audrey would open the door so easily. She shook violently, trying to break free from the constraints of the ceiling.
The phantom of the "Goddess of Night" then turned its gaze away from Raphael and Audrey and looked at the "Mother of Heaven".
In an instant, the entire hall fell into an indescribable silence. Audrey and Raphael immediately felt their eyelids grow heavy and had to struggle to stay awake.
They stepped through the stone gate and glanced back. The entire hall was filled with clusters of black light, which converged at the top of the hall, as if forming surging black waves rushing towards the "Mother of Heaven".
The stone gate closed on its own, and the last thing Raphael and Audrey saw was a surging black wave covering the "Mother of Heaven's" face, which was filled with resentment.
Once the stone door closed completely, the two were plunged into complete darkness, a utter darkness devoid of any light, so that they couldn't see anything even with their eyes open.
Guided by their spirituality, the two moved forward step by step. Raphael walked slower and slower. Although the black sword had disappeared, the wound was still numb, as if all his strength was being poured into that spot.
They knew they had to leave quickly to avoid any unforeseen circumstances. Audrey, no longer concerned with aristocratic decorum, put Raphael's arm on her shoulder and strode forward.
After walking for about ten seconds, a colorful light curtain suddenly appeared in front of us. We quickly passed through the light curtain, and outside was Audrey's luxurious and beautifully decorated bedroom.
As soon as they stepped on the carpet, the two of them fell to the ground.
Raphael's injuries continued to spread, while Audrey had exhausted too much of her spiritual energy due to the "mind deprivation" she had just experienced. Both of them were already at their limit.
The next instant, the colored light screen behind them disappeared, and the oil painting that had been standing on the desk fell to the table on its own, as if it had become a normal painting again.
Susie excitedly twirled around in front of them: "Thank God, you're finally back—oh my god, Audrey, you're covered in blood, are you hurt?"
Lying on the carpet, Raphael said, "On the surface, I seem to be more seriously injured, don't I?"
A black ball of light appeared at the spot where the black sword had pierced the wound, stretching it out as if it were pulling the wound wider and wider.
Raphael glanced at his wound: "How come I don't remember the 'Sleepless' pathway having such a bizarre ability? This damned ability makes it seem like the 'Goddess of Night' is an evil god."
Audrey was about to remind Raphael that she had a prayer room in her house with the "Dark Symbol" hanging on it, and that he shouldn't make such blasphemous remarks.
Just then, both of them felt spiritually that someone was watching them, but this feeling quickly disappeared, as if their spirituality had been delusion.
But they both noticed that the atmosphere in the room suddenly became unusually quiet, as if the room was completely isolated from the outside world.
Then, the black light in Raphael's wound disappeared, leaving only a thin layer of black light on the wound.
Immediately, that sense of tranquility vanished.
Raphael and Audrey exchanged a glance. If they weren't mistaken, it was the "Goddess of the Night" who had cast her gaze and taken away the black orb of light from Raphael's wound.
He smirked, wondering if the "Goddess of the Night" had heard his earlier description of her as an evil god.
With the black orb gone, Raphael felt much better and got up to sit in a chair: "Give me a beer."
"No problem," Audrey replied immediately.
She immediately opened the door and asked her personal maid, Anne, who was waiting outside, to go to the kitchen and pour her a beer.
A somewhat dazed Anne, of course, did not notice that Miss Audrey's clothes, hands, and face were covered in blood.
Anne quickly brought beer and placed it on the desk in front of Raphael. Then she was called away by Miss Audrey to change her clothes and didn't even notice Raphael slumped in his chair.
Raphael took a couple of sips of beer, glanced at the ceiling, and at that moment, "the big one" was already online.
In the "Dark Hut," Raphael used "True Vision" to see that the wound on his chest in the real world was covered by a layer of almost tangible darkness, somewhat like a layer of black grease smeared on the wound.
Raphael, inside the "Dark Hut," reached out and easily snatched the darkness away from his wound, instantly placing it in his hand.
The whole process went too smoothly, making Raphael wonder if it was a conspiracy by the "Goddess of the Night".
But the next second, Raphael's spiritual senses detected the purpose of the black object. He waved his hand, and a floating object appeared not far away—
The small crystal flew into his hand, and Raphael attached the black color to it. The crystal instantly turned black, and tiny sparkles of starlight shimmered within.
Raphael's spirituality immediately sensed that the crystal was like a high-level talisman that could bring misfortune upon a target at the Saint level, and could be used three times.
Raphael stood there stunned in his high-backed chair, holding the crystal. It looked exactly like a gift from the "Goddess of the Night"!
But what has he done for the "Goddess of the Night"? It seems he hasn't done anything. When he came out of the painting just now, he not only called her an evil god, but also secretly thought that if he had the chance, he would poke a hole in her.
Could it be the "Goddess of the Night" —
Thinking about this, Raphael felt a flash of inspiration, and many clues connected in his mind. This adventure in the oil painting was very likely influenced by the "Goddess of the Night"!
The "Goddess of the Night" most likely wants to confirm whether her seal is still secure.
The black light within Raphael's wound is most likely information given to his true self by the phantom of the "Goddess of Night" deep within his dream.
Raphael acted as a messenger, so the "Goddess of the Night" sent Raphael three "misfortunes" to use.
Backlund, Queen Road.
After finishing his beer, Raphael experienced a "data synchronization" with his alternate self, and suddenly understood the whole situation.
By this time, Audrey had changed into a simple yet beautiful long dress: "Is your wound starting to heal?"
"Yes." Raphael glanced at Susie beside him and asked Audrey, "I suddenly understand why Susie can't enter the painting."
