"Impossible," Igula calmly said. "Although spirit miracles that use sound as a medium are easier to penetrate the Holy Domain than other miracles, it shouldn't be effective against thousands of Holy Domains... If I'm not mistaken, there were at least dozens of Spiritual Sanctuaries casting miracles just now, which is why it's so easy to stir up greed and anger in others."
"There are quite a few people with the same thoughts as us..."
Thinking back to the seamless casting with other Spiritual Sanctuaries just before, Igula couldn't help but feel excited—born to yearn for the big stage and grand scenes as a Swindler, the gathering of Holy Domains from six countries in the Distant Realm was tempting to him like an Ancient Battlefield is to Harvey!
However, Igula quickly calmed his mind because the real challenge had just begun.
Harvey looked around and said thoughtfully, "It's been over a dozen hours since Ash logged into the Void Realm..."
"Let's go," Igula didn't answer Harvey's question, and directly said.
The Necromancer glanced at the Swindler, nodded.
Igula, Harvey, and Qikara entered Dream Heaven through the entrance, with the light shifting from bright to dark.
Inside Dream Heaven, it was a vast, completely dark world. Strangely, the mages' vision was incredibly clear, with all objects outlined in white, making the world look like a black-background sketch with white lines.
In the darkness, countless enormous black spheres moved rapidly and chaotically!
Boom!
Upon entering, Igula saw a Holy Sanctuary Mage being blasted a hundred meters away after colliding with a black sphere!
Now, the Holy Sanctuary Mages were trying their best to stay close to the edges to avoid the high-speed dashes of the black spheres!
However, Blood Moon Sanctuary, Curse Elf, and Parasitic Mage were all attacking the same black sphere. Without knowing what miracle they used, they managed to slow down the rapidly moving black sphere, then continuously hammered it with miracles, and shortly after, finally shattered it!
At the moment the black sphere disintegrated, dozens of Technique Spirits and glowing experience orbs impatiently escaped. Upon closer inspection, the interior of the black sphere was astonishingly the trial's underground hall they were very familiar with!
Although the Divine Lord Mages immediately kept hold of the rewards, some Technique Spirit orbs still escaped and were seized by the outer mages.
"The ghost heritage is hidden in the black sphere!"
"Breaking the black sphere releases all the rewards inside!"
The Holy Sanctuary Mages were all excited; previously, they had to pass through trial after trial to earn a single reward, which might even be a temporary Technique Spirit. But now, breaking a black sphere directly grants rewards, and there are hundreds of spheres, each containing hundreds of rewards!
Moreover, it might even hold ghost heritage, extra heritage, or even the full heritage!
Compared to the excited outer mages, Baiyu, Turbid Curse, and Evil Omen looked extremely grim! Observing other black spheres, they finally spotted the traps set by the Ghost Prophet.
"Worthy of the Ghost Prophet..." Baiyu weakly smiled, "We're in a huge mess now."
The Ghost Prophet certainly anticipated that someone would strong-arm Dream Heaven to snatch the heritage, so Baiyu and the others had always been cautious, but they didn't expect the Ghost Prophet to be so creative—
When a black sphere is destroyed, the energy inside merges into other spheres, increasing the spheres' size and speed!
When enough spheres are destroyed, the remaining spheres' speed will amplify to an exaggerated velocity, even if they have the Holy Domain they'll be too dizzy to resist!
The black spheres might be fragments of Dream Heaven, hence they can autonomously operate and reassemble. In other words, they are contending not only with the Ghost Prophet but also with the forces of the Void Realm!
And that's just the first layer of traps; the Ghost Prophet has a second and third layer waiting for them!
But they can't resolve them, nor can they avoid them!
Because the ghost heritage is within the black spheres, unless they can directly locate the full heritage, they must break through each sphere one by one!
Even if they have the Prophecy Miracle to search slowly, there are two thousand greedy Holy Domains alongside them!
These people only want to grab a share and flee; if they can't get the full heritage, they won't care. How could they simply stop to let Baiyu succeed alone?
The Divine Lord flaunts?
This perfectly laid trap utilizing greed and short-sightedness demonstrates the Ghost Prophet's understanding of the human heart.
But there was good news, Baiyu and others discovered a reduction in extra magic power consumption for Two-winged and Three-winged Technique Spirits. Since the spheres are fragments of Dream Heaven, breaking them further damages Dream Heaven, so they face less suppression as it goes on.
Baiyu, Turbid Curse, and Evil Omen exchanged glances and nodded: "Action."
All three Holy Domains slowed down another black sphere and fiercely attacked!
Qikara and Harvey looked at Igula, who watched as the outer Holy Domains were assembling in groups of four hundred, to intercept and fully assault three or four black spheres. Although there were many remaining spheres, the Holy Domains output was high, not to mention the Divine Lord Mages had powerful Wonders in hand, Dream Heaven's downfall was inevitable.
The Swindler knew that Ash and others were inside the black spheres, so what he needed to do was prevent the Holy Domains from attacking the spheres.
But this was a foolish move against the tide, as now the Holy Domains were preoccupied with grabbing the ghost heritage; who would willingly stop?
So, he had to create another tidal wave…
With this thought, Igula signaled Harvey and Qikara to follow him, and they stayed near the place where the Divine Lord Mages were. As soon as the mages broke a sphere, they rushed in to pick up leftovers and quickly retreated to avoid the Divine Lord Mages' pursuit.
If they were up against a rowdy mob, someone would certainly chase them, yet the Divine Lord Mages, led by Baiyu, Turbid Curse, and Evil Omen, were clearly uninterested in starting side issues over these small thieves.
But soon, they realized the consequence of not quickly swatting the flies was attracting a swarm of them.
Noticing Igula and the others' actions, more and more Holy Domains outside waited for the chance to pick up remnants.
They watched the Divine Lord Mages attack the spheres like diners waiting for chefs to serve dishes or students waiting for the headteacher to give assignments. As soon as the spheres shattered, they rushed in to sweep up freebies, then promptly retreated until next time.
This was too blatant. Baiyu and the others couldn't stand it any longer and directed their team to encircle the spheres, intending to monopolize all rewards and prevent the outer mages from benefiting.
But spreading out reduced the mage density and increased susceptibility to sphere interference!
When a Curse Elf prepared to avoid a sphere, a sudden ear-splitting bang sounded, the intense spirit pain stunned him for a moment, then he was sent flying a hundred meters by a sphere!
"Who!" he shrieked, as his serpent hair hissed and glared at the outer mages, "Who just attacked me with a spirit miracle!?"
Of course, no outer mage answered, while Baiyu, Turbid Curse, and Evil Omen exchanged looks and silently regrouped their members.
However, once gathered like this, when they burst a sphere, the rewards inevitably leaked out.
Though seemingly unchanged, the Divine Lord Mages were attacking spheres, and outer mages were waiting to grab remnants, but a pressing storm was gradually spreading throughout Dream Heaven.
Qikara and Harvey looked at Igula, who slowly shook his head.
The spirit miracle that attacked the Curse Elf had nothing to do with him.
