Chapter 882: Mist of Delusion
“I will help you find your treasure. You will help me break my seals.”
The weak voice echoed in their minds again. The Lunar Serpent’s offer wasn’t particularly appealing. Orion, Leonidas, and Alexander remained silent.
Orion looked to Leonidas, who just shook his head slightly. In the end, both of them turned their attention to Alexander’s spirit swordavatar. The meaning was clear: this was Alexander’s call to make. He was the one staying behind to hold the line. He would be the one facing the Lunar Serpent.
“What help can you offer us?” The spirit swordavatar vibrated softly, emitting an aura that promised a fatal strike if the answer was unsatisfactory.
“The magical formation beneath me… it does not lead to the true Dragon Mausoleum,” the serpent revealed. “It leads to a realm between illusion and reality. A place called the Azure Mirage. That realm is filled with monsters called Lunarfin, creatures formed from my own siphoned power.”
Sensing the deadly intent from the sword, the Lunar Serpent’s thoughts came faster. “To enter the real Dragon Mausoleum, you must first defeat the Dragon God(demigod) Phantom hidden deep within the Azure Mirage. The phantom is not just a guardian. It is the passage—a living, mobile gateway.”

“How do you know so much?” Orion pressed. The serpent was sealed; it shouldn’t have been able to move freely, let alone gather this kind of intelligence.
“The Azure Mirage is filled with my power,” the serpent explained. “As long as my fundamental laws still govern that place, I can perceive what happens within it.”
