Chapter 1219: Dark Butterfly Spirit

"!!!" Everyone widened their eyes. This was the first time they talked with the Dark Butterfly Spirit. However, they knew her more as the Moon Goddess.

As a result, the paladins and the archbishop immediately fell to their knees.

The Dark Butterfly Spirit smiled.

"I'm grateful for your devotion. Unfortunately, I can't descend for a long time."

"It's what we should do."

The Dark Butterfly Spirit nodded. "I'm just glad that you aren't corrupted. Please stand up."

All of them looked hesitant, but because the Dark Butterfly didn't have a lot of time, they had to stand up instead of wasting her time.

The Dark Butterfly Spirit raised her palm, projecting a sphere and two small figures.

"More than a thousand years ago, the Spirit God and the Demon God fought with all their strength. The Demon God had an army of powerful demons, each of his trusted subordinates could easily destroy a world.

"The Spirit God led a coalition of multiple words and fought against the Demon God. A lot of people had fallen, and it ended up with the ultimate showdown before the Demon God and the Spirit God.

"With everyone's efforts, the Spirit God managed to take down the Demon God and his trusted subordinates.

"However, his army of billions of demons scattered in all directions, running rampant in all words for the sake of survival.

"The coalition army was determined to completely eradicate the demons for one reason. The demons had the ambition to destroy this universe, not allowing a single living being to survive.

"We continued to search for the remnant of the demons and found this distant planet that was unreachable from other worlds.

"The Spirit God would like to come to this place and eradicate the demons, but by doing so, it would expose the world's location to the rest of the demons. He couldn't afford to do it, especially because this place was important for the Spirit God.

"Hence, the Spirit God utilized his power and sent five divine items. The first item was the Spirit Sword called Ardagan. It was a divine weapon that had been killing all the demons before the invasion.

"The second item was this Ring of Pledge. It blocked the portal that the demons used to enter this world.

"The third item was the Wheel of Destiny. It would be able to calculate your destiny. Seeing how the demons hadn't destroyed the humans meant they didn't have the Wheel of Destiny in their hands.

"The fourth item was the Martial Headband. It was meant to grant the strongest power to an individual.

"Last but not least, the Gem of Immortality. As the name implied, it would allow someone to live for as long as they wanted, cheating the reincarnation cycle. Of course, there is a price to pay."

They trembled after hearing all those five items. They never thought there would be such magical items.

Anna thought for a moment, remembering that Noel had once told her about his ancestor. It wasn't the one that created the Ardagan family, but the one who protected the world from the demons.

As if noticing her gaze, the Dark Butterfly Spirit turned to Anna. "It seems that you have a question in your mind, child."

Anna nodded. "I'm sorry if I'm being rude by asking this question."

"It's fine. Ask away."

"Did you bestow all five divine items on a single person?"

The Paladins and the archbishop didn't expect such a question. It made Anna look like she knew something more about these divine items.

The Dark Butterfly Spirit smiled. "Indeed. Her name was Milinda Sirius, who later changed her name to Milinda Ardagan, following her husband's family."

"!!!" Anna widened her eyes because she had heard her name from Noel. It was truly his ancestor.

On the other hand, the rest of them were surprised because it turned out the Ardagan family had been the protector of the world even before the invasion.

The Dark Butterfly Spirit's expression turned solemn. "You have to find the Wheel of Destiny as quickly as possible. If the demons have it, they will be able to know which location they should attack. All I know is that among the five divine items, one of them is currently in the demon's possession.

"You need all five divine items if you wish to stop the demons from invading this world. However, you only need the Spirit Sword, the Ring of Pledge, and the Wheel of Destiny if you wish to eradicate the demons."

Anna closed her eyes for a moment. Meanwhile, the archbishop raised his shaking hand. "G-Goddess… If we end up searching for the divine items, won't it make us break our own pledge to never get involved in human's matter?"

The Dark Butterfly Spirit shook her head. "I have never asked you to retrieve the divine items." With just a single glance at Anna, they realized the one who had such a task was the Ardagan family.

On the other hand, their role remained the same. It was to fight against the demons and help as many people as possible.

One of the Paladins raised his hand. "What about the demonic humans?"

"The demonic humans, huh?" The Dark Butterfly Spirit raised a question. "A demon eats away your brain and heart, eventually taking over your body. When that happens, can you consider yourself a human anymore?"

"The body is human, but the mind is not. No, it might even be considered worse than a normal demon because, from the information, they have also taken over their memories." The Paladin gulped down.

That one sentence was enough to show how they should proceed from this point onward.

"I know that all of you can do it. Let me give you a certain blessing." With a wave of her hands, a golden light started to appear on their forehead, forming a crescent moon symbol.

They could feel a surge of strength coming from the moon. "I'll leave the matter in this world in your hands, my children. Don't let the demons destroy this world."

"Yes!" The Paladins and the archbishop clenched their hands into fists, making their resolve in their hearts.

After receiving that reply, the Dark Butterfly Spirit disappeared. The wings and the antenna returned to Layla's body as she fell unconscious.
