Chapter 918: Chapter 916 Ancient Moonlight Chapter 918: Chapter 916 Ancient Moonlight Ah–
Fu Qian couldn’t dodge in time, and even his remaining left wing was brutally torn off, causing Selana’s body to tremble violently, eliciting a fitting scream.
However, the next moment, from her opened mouth, a scarlet, silent streak shot out.
It was a short spear condensed from blood, unbelievably fast and contained a sinister, dark aura that caused hearts to pound.
As a demigod, it was impossible for her to merely sit and await death; her counterattack was clearly long-premeditated, showing seamless execution even after her recent injury.
The moment her lethal move was initiated, it almost instantly reached in front of Fu Qian.
Unfortunately for Fu Qian, although he was not as severely affected, he couldn’t completely dodge in time but managed a slight twist of his body, so the hidden deadly strike only pierced his lung.
Even so, the injured area nearly visibly withered.
Unfortunately…
Such a wound, even augmented by a curse, was not enough to cause a demigod to fall.
In a moment of regret, Selana suddenly noticed something unusual.
As the last wing was torn off, her body suddenly became extremely light, and the oppressive bonds that had weighed her down disappeared entirely.
Amid her astonishment, she hadn’t managed to continue her attack when she realized everything before her eyes turned blurry and surreal.
And the last thing Selana saw through her vision was Fu Qian discarding her second wing, then ripping apart his own half-body that was engulfed in shadows, counter-handedly.
…
It seemed to really have an effect.
Watching as Selana’s body gradually became translucent and finally disappeared, as though melting into the moonlight, Fu Qian thought silently.
At that moment, he was also holding his own left arm, which was covered in shadows.
As a centuries-old demigod, Selana’s desperate strike was not to be underestimated; in the blink of an eye, the stricken area withered like dry wood.
Of course, every situation has its pros and cons; one advantage was that it was somewhat easier to tear it off.
Casually tossing the arm aside, Fu Qian felt his body become light again.
And certain sounds and images were also becoming clearer.
Until, at one moment, burning white moonlight completely enveloped his vision.
…
When his vision recovered, the Moonlight Grove he had just seen had completely disappeared.
In its place was a majestic building nearby that seemed familiar.
Selana, with two fierce wounds on her back, was standing faced to the side, staring upward, motionless.
The next moment, apparently noticing something, she slowly turned her head to look this way.
“It seems we have entered a scene from an ancient era.”
Instead of immediately fighting, Selana gritted her teeth as she gazed at Fu Qian, her emotions somewhat complex.
“I think so too.”
Fu Qian casually responded, surveying his surroundings.
Although fashion styles in this world were always chaotic, judging by the clothes of the people around them, they were authentically vintage.
Indeed, the place they were now, aside from the obviously restored ruins of the tall buildings, even had bustling crowds.
And the outfits of the men and women had a distinctly classical flavor.
“Quickly accumulated entrapments are concentrated in one part of the body, by directly cutting it off, the remaining parts synchronize highly with the moonlight, thus successfully entering here.”
As Selana spoke, she sighed and touched the wounds on her back, appearing to understand Fu Qian’s intentions from before.
“How did you know this?”
“I didn’t know it!”
Fu Qian shook his head.
“We were using the process of elimination,” he said.
“Luckily, our experimentation elicited an abnormal reaction. Even though we still cannot confirm the specific cause, attempting to amplify this anomaly is crucial for a researcher,”
He pointed to the wound on Selana’s back.
“Like, if we remove the part that’s heavily shadowed, is it possible that the sounds we hear could become clearer?”
“Just because of this thought … you attacked me? I almost didn’t have the strength to escape earlier. A slight mistake, and we would both have been trapped here to die.”
But the more Selana listened, the more shocked she became.
She had thought this fellow knew something, which explained his shocking actions earlier. Who would have thought it was such a mad approach?
“Don’t worry, I had my measurements under control. If it hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t have interrupted your second attempt to escape,”
“Given your determined resolve earlier, this should be within your acceptable range,” he said.
Fu Qian shook his head slightly, pointing to his own left side.
“Moreover, we must be precise in our speech. It wasn’t just you; I harmed myself as well.”
At this moment, extremely heightened bioactivity was continuously healing Fu Qian’s body.
However, after his half-torso had regenerated, the left arm that had once been covered by shadows just wouldn’t grow back, just like Selana’s wings.
…
Faced with this lunatic who looked completely justified, Selana was suddenly at a loss for words.
“Of course, based on the results we’re seeing now, combined with the name ‘Ancient Reminiscence’ of this object, we might be able to make some conjectures,”
Fu Qian pointed to the nearly identical full moons in the sky.
“There’s reason to suspect that this omnipresent moonlight has been preserved from the distant ancient ages.”
“Its radiation syncs our bodies with the ‘past,’ causing the misalignment in time, which is what trapped us here.”
“The mechanism we used earlier at the edge of light and shadow clearly delineated the boundaries of this misalignment in our bodies, which is why you heard those sounds.”
“By making a relatively thorough cut, the part of us synced with the ancients finally exceeded a certain boundary, allowing us to enter this unique spacetime.”
“… Alright then.”
Fu Qian’s elaborate discussion left Selana looking stunned.
However, his deductions were such that she could find no grounds to refute them.
So this is indeed the secret of the power of Ancient Reminiscence… Indeed, it’s a brilliant deduction, although the process itself is somewhat hard to accept.
Looking at Fu Qian, who had lost an arm but didn’t seem to mind, Selana suddenly didn’t envy Yuan Shan at all.
Dealing with someone like this might be an unimaginably strong support but will likely drive one mad sooner or later.
Of course, having him as an opponent would be even more terrifying.
“You could have just explained it to me clearly …”
Recalling the experience, Selana couldn’t help but say.
“Do you think you would have believed me? That you’d let me tear off your wings based on a speculation?”
Fu Qian blinked.
Not likely…
Selana fell silent for a moment.
“Apart from wasting time and causing misunderstandings, that kind of communication would serve no purpose at all if it truly endangered our chances of escape.”

“So what now?”
Lost for words, Selana cautiously asked a moment later.
“I feel like the current state is rather stable, and we can still escape from here, but I’m not sure what might happen if we delay too long.”
“Then naturally, we must quickly continue with your earlier plan,”
Fu Qian nodded and pointed at the majestic church beside them.
“Let’s admire the glory of your Ancestor.”
