Ascension To Divine Throne

Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Moon Spirit Leopard

Chapter 38 Moon Spirit Leopard

When William and Lumbro arrived at the location where the signal was sent, Elena and Nichole had already arrived ahead of them.

The one who sent the signal was Elena. Seeing William and Lumbro had also arrived, she nodded in acknowledgment.

"I discovered that magical beast here, or I should say, I was almost attacked by that magical beast," Elena pointed to the top of a huge rock in front of her and said, "That magical beast was right there at the time. It probably noticed me long ago, maybe planning to attack me when I passed by."

"When I just searched here, my hunter's instinct kept alerting me. I observed for a while before I found its location."

"When that magical beast saw that I had noticed it, it immediately turned and left. I tried to chase it after sending the signal, but I didn't catch up. I could only come back here and wait for you."

"That magical beast is so bad, it even wanted to ambush Sister Elena."

Nichole waved her little fists angrily, as if she would immediately rush up and beat it fiercely if that magical beast appeared in front of her now.

Jason wasn't as impulsive. After all, Elena was standing there perfectly fine, evidently not having fought with that magical beast at all.

"Elena, did you get a clear look at that magical beast? What kind of magical beast is it?" Jason asked.

Elena seemed hesitant, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "I got a clear look. It's a Moon Spirit Leopard."

Moon Spirit Leopard, so that's it. No wonder Elena's expression was so complicated.

William understood. He had wondered why Elena hesitated so much and didn't want to say what kind of magical beast it was. So, that's how it was.

Jason also quickly caught on. As for Nichole and Lumbro, they still wore expressions of innocent confusion.

Moon Spirit Leopard? What kind of magical beast is that? Why did Elena look so strange?

It can only be said that these two aren't really gifted in learning.

William, who had rich experience from his past life, naturally knew what a Moon Spirit Leopard was. After all, in the 3.0 version of the game's main storyline set in the elven stronghold of the Naviya Forest, William had encountered many secret pieces of information related to elves.

Among them, there was information about the Moon Spirit Leopard.

The Moon Spirit Leopard is an extremely rare type of leopard-like magical beast that often appears at night. Its entire body is pitch black, but its shiny fur emits a faint moonlight-like glow, hence its name.

Most importantly, the Moon Spirit Leopard is the legendary envoy of the elven divine system: the messenger of the moon and the guardian goddess, Clemena. It is also the best companion and assistant of elven hunters. Almost all Moon Spirit Leopards on the continent live in the Naviya Forest, and all elven hunters take pride in gaining the approval and companionship of a Moon Spirit Leopard.

From this, you can see the status of the Moon Spirit Leopard in the hearts of the elven race and elven hunters!

Elena, as an outstanding Silver-ranked elven hunter, naturally understood all of this. But to discover that the intruding magical beast was it, and to think that her team had to hunt it down, Elena was somewhat unwilling to accept it.

"Is it possible that you're mistaken?" William asked Elena, as Moon Spirit Leopards appearing deep within the human kingdom's territory and killing many residents did seem somewhat unreal.

"No." Elena took a deep breath, calming her somewhat turbulent emotions.

"My mother's companion is a Moon Spirit Leopard. It has been with me since I was little. I wouldn't mistake it."

Jason was somewhat helpless. He could see that Elena didn't want to harm this Moon Spirit Leopard. If they had encountered it during a normal adventure, he naturally wouldn't have acted, and he might have even helped Elena tame it.

Even if the mission failed, Jason didn't care much. After all, the mission's reward wasn't that crucial for the team.

But the problem now was that this Moon Spirit Leopard appearing in Baron Tony's territory had already killed more than a dozen residents and had become a ferocious beast, preying on humans. If left unchecked, it could lead to even more serious consequences.

After pondering for a moment, Elena's expression finally became firm. Gritting her teeth, she said:

"Since it has already resorted to cannibalism, it can no longer be the envoy of the goddess Clemena. Let's send this Moon Spirit Leopard to the goddess's divine realm."

For elves, consuming any humanoid creature was unacceptable.

Moreover, Elena had already felt the intense malice emanating from this Moon Spirit Leopard when it ambushed her. It was impossible for it to be a companion to elves anymore, so naturally, she gave up the idea of taming it.

Jason also breathed a sigh of relief. It was best if Elena could think like that, so they wouldn't have to worry about accommodating their teammates' thoughts during the crusade process.

Seeing Elena determined, William asked:

"How strong is that Moon Spirit Leopard?"

Elena furrowed her brows, pondered for a moment, and replied:

"An adult Moon Spirit Leopard should have the strength of a Gold rank. A few exceptional ones may even break through to the Legendary rank, but this Moon Spirit Leopard gives me the impression of being only at the high Silver rank. It seems to have not received the baptism of the goddess Clemena in the Naviya Forest, so its strength cannot break through the bottleneck."

"That's acceptable, it hasn't exceeded our expectations," Jason sighed with relief, understanding the type and strength of this magical beast. The crusade mission was already halfway completed; now, they just needed to find it and successfully defeat it.

"Elena, you're most familiar with the habits of the Moon Spirit Leopard. Do you have any good ideas on how to deal with it?" Jason asked Elena.

"Generally speaking, Moon Spirit Leopards are active at night, adept at hiding and ambushing. Their strength during the day will decrease significantly."

"If a Moon Spirit Leopard has received the goddess's baptism, it will receive the Moon Spirit's blessing, and its strength will not be affected during the day. But obviously, this Moon Spirit Leopard hasn't."

"So, the most suitable time for the crusade is during the day?" Jason asked.

"Yes," Elena nodded, "Even if it's only at the high Silver rank, its speed and stealth abilities at night are formidable, and its perception is also strong. It will be very difficult for us to capture it."

"But according to the people from Baron's domain, it doesn't appear during the day. Can you find it during the day?"

"I can try. Generally, Moon Spirit Leopards don't have fixed territories; they usually roam around. However, this one has stayed in this baron's domain for a long time, so it should have a fixed hiding place. I can try to track its whereabouts tomorrow during the day."

Elena analyzed clearly.

"Alright, then let's go back and rest for today. We'll come back tomorrow morning to find this Moon Spirit Leopard!"

Listening to Elena's suggestion, Jason made the final decision, deciding to continue searching for and defeating this magical beast tomorrow.

Nichole and Lumbro had no objections. They were fine with the arrangements.

William was the same. The most important thing in doing tasks while relying on others was to follow the arrangements. Being honest and staying put was crucial. Who would take you along next time if you ran around alone, causing chaos and wiping out monsters, and getting killed in instances?
