Chapter 298: Dragon’s Saliva

The Dark High Priest could only reveal a look of envy towards Mike. He continued to speak.

“Do you know that there are a total of 178 heaven-tier powerhouses in the Dark Continent, and a total of 12 who have comprehended High-level? Akari, Amelia, these are people who have been recognized by the High-level, but none of them have comprehended High-level after, and none of them are able to use divine power after comprehending High-level.”

Mike was startled. He looked at the Dark High Priest, anticipating what he was going to say next.

The Dark High Priest said, “If only you were my student here in the Dark Continent.”

Mike smiled bitterly and said, “I was just lucky. I believe that Akari and the others will definitely be able to rely on their own strength to step into the divine-tier.”

The Dark High Priest of darkness smiled bitterly as he looked at the vast white mountain range in the distance and said, “I believe this as well. However, this kind of thing isn’t something that can be done just by believing it. Before the heaven-tier, the summoner’s development was also known as ordinary advancement. However, when the heaven-tier ascends to the divine-tier, it is no longer advancement, but transformation. It’s a transformation from head to toe, from the inside out. The probability of a heaven-tier expert transforming to the divine-tier is extremely low. I still remember that a few thousand years ago, the Dark Continent had over a hundred heaven-tier seven-star and above experts. A thousand years ago, there are only those who weren’t strong enough to break through into the divine-tier, and also, me.”

Mike could not help but ask, “Could it be that we can’t even save our lives?”

The Dark High Priest’s voice was filled with disappointment as he said,

“How can it be that easy? The process of advancing to the divine-tier requires all of one’s divine power to be extracted from one’s body and then converted into divine power. This is the final step, and it’s also the most dangerous step. Almost everyone died at this step. In the past 10,000 years, in the Dark Continent, I was the only one who was lucky enough to succeed. You don’t have to go through this most dangerous step. Becoming a divine-tier summoner is already an inevitable thing for you.”

Mike let out a soft sigh and asked, “May I ask what I can do for Akari?”

The Dark High Priest said, “I know that this is a little rude of me. I’m saying that if it’s possible for you. Do you think you can tell Akari and the others about your method of condensing divine power? I can promise you that only very few people will understand. Even I wouldn’t understand. However, I will promise you, if anything goes wrong, I’ll immediately take action to clean up the mess.”

Mike let out a soft sigh and said, “Why don’t you stick your hand into my Divine Power Spring and check out my spirit?”

The Dark High Priest’s eyes narrowed slightly. He placed his hand on Mike’s Divine Power Spring. After a long while, he pulled his hand back with a sorrowful expression on his face.

“So, so that’s how it is. I’m asking for too much. Your method is impossible to replicate.”

The Dark High Priest was sad for a moment before his eyes regained their light. He looked at Mike and asked, “If you can fight more with Akari and the others, it’s good to let them feel the divine power themselves. The newborn divine power still has some characteristics of primitive divine power. Can you use more divine power to fight with them? As a reward, I will teach you more ways to use divine power.”

Mike could not bear to reject the Dark High Priest, nor did he dare to reject him. He could only nod his head.

A smile appeared on the Dark High Priest’s face as he said, “Alright, then from today onwards, you will move to the mountain. This way, it will be more convenient for you to communicate with the seniors.”

Unexpectedly, Mike shook his head and said, “I’m afraid that won’t do. I still have to train that group of students. I’m afraid that it will have to wait until three months later.”

The Dark High Priest looked at Mike and seemed to have seen the determination in Mike’s eyes. He nodded and seemed to agree with Mike’s opinion. He said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you to come up the mountain in three months.”

Mike thanked him and turned to walk down the mountain.

As he walked on the mountain path, he kept thinking about what the Dark High Priest had said, and his emotions surged. Only now was the path of the Summoner of God clear to him. As long as he resolutely walked down it, he would definitely be able to see the end. Some people spend their lives working hard for it, and yet, they would never reach such a height.

Mike’s heart was filled with an indescribable feeling. He looked at the vast white world and flew back to his small wooden house.

Although the road was bright, it was still very long and bumpy. He needed to be firm in his determination and continue walking.

…

With a loud bang, the youth fell to the ground.

Mike walked out of the competition area. The two youths behind him immediately walked forward and lifted up the fallen youth.

The youth’s chest rose and fell violently, his face twisted. When the students saw the youth’s appearance, they could not help but shiver.

Mike stood there expressionlessly, like a statue, cold and intimidating. He looked at the great snow mountain in the distance and sighed softly.

Yesterday, he had talked to Akari late into the night and indirectly asked Akari about the truth of the Frost Forest incident. He did not expect Akari to be so tight-lipped that she would not tell him anything. She only revealing that the beast tide had something to do with the dark magi.

When Mike heard that this incident had something to do with the dark magi, he immediately gave up on the idea of leading the students out to train.

Even though Akari did not tell him anything, he knew that the attack on the students was not a coincidence. Mike had a feeling that the dark magi were directly coming for him. Everything else was just a cover.

“Mike,” Eve’s voice sounded in Mike’s heart. “I have something to tell you.”

Mike smiled and said, “What is it?”

Eve’s voice became serious. She said, “The enchantment that day was very strange. It gave me a very familiar feeling. If I’m not wrong, there was dragon’s saliva in it.”

“What is dragon’s saliva?”

“The saliva of the Holy Dragon. To be precise, it is the desire of the Holy Dragon. There is almost nothing in the world that is worth the Holy Dragons’ attention. When they really want something, they will produce dragon’s saliva. Dragon’s saliva is a high-level hallucinogen. It can cause almost any level of magical beasts to enter a berserk state. It can even affect lower-level heaven-tier magical beasts..”
