That's right, at this point, all the strong people here could already see that Mo Fan was no longer a High-Level Mage.
But even if he wasn't a High-Level Mage, so what?
He absolutely could not break through the third obstacle.
The third statue was a person, with no difference from a human except for a high-collared windbreaker and pointed blood fangs.
It had come to life. It stood at the stairs it guarded, looking at Mo Fan, who was walking up, with a hint of disdain.
Mo Fan looked at the opponent, did not make a move, but instead stretched out his hand. Instantly, a blood-ink colored magic power swirled around his body!
The moment the blood-ink colored magic power fluctuated, Bora, who had been standing there with an extremely disdainful expression, suddenly froze!
Because he felt a familiar, great aura that made him want to kneel!
Demon.
He was a thousand-year-old Vampire who was loyal to the Demon!
It was just that the Demon he was loyal to had long since disappeared from this world. But unexpectedly, a new Demon had appeared in this world!
"Do you still want to stop me?" Mo Fan asked Bora, who was looking excited, in a calm tone.
"Of course not." Bora shook his head.
"It's been a thousand years. I thought I would slowly decay and be forgotten here. I didn't expect that at the end of my life, Bora, a true Demon, would be born. Please accept my allegiance. My previous master only possessed Demon abilities for less than a day. I swore to guard here and gradually forgot the time. If you are not satisfied with me, you can let me wither now. I don't have much life left." The Vampire Bora's tone still carried the air of an ancient noble, and even his half-kneeling bow probably dated back a thousand years.
Mo Fan was very satisfied watching Bora kneel on the ground.
Mo Fan said, "Then let's go. We'll proceed to the next obstacle. I think I'll need your strength in the next one."
Bora originally wanted to dissuade Mo Fan, but seeing Mo Fan's firm expression, he didn't say any more nonsense, just responded and followed behind Mo Fan.
"This... what is this Bora doing? How can he kneel to a heretic? Is he crazy?!" The short-tempered Heilong immediately shouted.
The people of the Knight Hall and the Goddess Hall were stunned. Their most mysterious Vampire, Bora, one of the four mountain guardian statues, actually half-knelt to someone else, and seemed to be going to the fourth mountain step with Mo Fan???
No one could explain this scene. Finally, Great Sage Mei Ruola couldn't help but snort coldly, "I knew this Vampire had no loyalty at all. Perhaps he had long harbored rebellious intentions, using this opportunity to challenge the authority of our Parthenon Temple. He should have been annihilated long ago!"
Su Ti, Coulon, and Fen'ai were all full of disbelief. What method did Mo Fan use to persuade the Vampire Bora?
One must know that even some veteran Super-Order Mages might not be able to catch Bora's eye.
But Mo Fan actually received his kneeling and submission?
"Hmph, since this guy is irrelevant, then let Haobu kill both of them!" Heilong said angrily.
Mo Fan had already passed the third mountain guardian statue, and the believers in the Faith Hall and some busybodies had already boiled over, feeling that the Parthenon Temple had lost most of its face.
People who passed these four mountain guardian statues could even see the Goddess. The problem was that the Goddess's status was incomparably noble. Even a Knight Hall Vice Hall Master level had to apply to the Temple Mother to meet the Goddess alone, and then see if the Goddess agreed, and then it had to be as formal as a meeting under the supervision of other Great Sages. But for those who passed the God Mountain, it was a private meeting, and the knights had to guard outside!
The Goddess was loved and admired by thousands of people. Everyone wanted to see her. If Mo Fan really broke through, or let the world think that their ancient mountain road was vulnerable, then every day there would probably be thousands of young challengers seeking death, wave after wave endlessly. Their Parthenon would no longer be called Parthenon; they might as well be called Guardians of Athens.
It was precisely because of this that the Parthenon's high-ranking officials were extremely angry!
President Han Ji and Zhu Meng, on the other hand, looked at Pang Lai with puzzled expressions.
After all, among the people present, only Pang Lai was more familiar with the Parthenon's Star River Mountain Road.
Pang Lai saw their gazes directed at him, and his mouth twitched slightly. He shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on right now."
To be honest, Pang Lai was also truly bewildered.
How did this incredibly proud Vampire kneel to Mo Fan?
Grandpa Bao, on the other hand, seemed to have seen some clues, but he didn't say anything. Some things cannot be casually spoken.
Mo Fan and the Vampire Bora continued to walk up the last mountain step. This section of the mountain step covered a very large area, with dense steep forests on both sides, and rocky cliffs standing behind the woods.
There were two cliffs, which looked exactly like two mountain gates. The closer they got to Goddess Peak, the narrower the mountain path became.
"Be careful, the last guy is a Titan Giant," Mo Fan reminded.
Bora was slightly shocked when he heard this, looking at Mo Fan.
And at this moment, a large shadow suddenly covered the sky above them, and an invisible pressure instantly struck!
It was a giant foot!
Its thick skin was like white rock, and even its smallest toe was about the same size as Mo Fan!
Mo Fan and Bora both reacted almost immediately, quickly dodging.
"Boom!!!"
A loud sound followed, coming from the exact spot where they had just been. The entire section of stone steps was shattered into dust, leaving a shocking footprint!
Mo Fan looked carefully at the grayish-white area above and only then discovered a huge humanoid outline that appeared transparent.
"Whoa~~~~!!!"
Seeing that its disguise had been exposed, the Titan Giant simply revealed its true form.
And facing the appearing Titan Giant, Mo Fan and the others were not yet affected, but the spectators here turned pale with fright.
Its appearance frightened the onlookers in the Faith Hall down the mountain. A gigantic Titan stood in the steep forest there. Even separated by several mountain paths, it didn't seem small at all. Some ordinary believers who didn't practice magic were so scared they sat on the ground, their legs weak.
Thinking that for so many years they had been "offering incense" in the Faith Hall, while such a terrifying Titan Giant resided on the mountain path not far away, their full devotion instantly vanished!
"Everyone, don't panic. That's a mountain guardian Titan. It will only kill those who trespass on Goddess Peak. There's a barrier above, and no disturbance will affect the Faith Hall." Soon, a Faith Mage came to maintain order.
That's what they said, but the Titan Giant was truly terrifying, and ordinary people simply couldn't bear it.
"Shouldn't the Titan Giant and the Parthenon Temple be ancient natural enemies? Why is this Titan Giant still guarding the mountain for the Parthenon Temple?" Zhu Meng was also knowledgeable, understanding such matters, and asked in complete confusion.
"This... I don't know either. In fact, many core members of the Parthenon Temple probably don't know that the fourth mountain guardian statue is a Titan Giant. It's been countless years since anyone reached the fourth step. Even the strongest people were defeated by Bora," Pang Lai said.
"Can Mo Fan handle it?"
"With Bora, there might still be a glimmer of hope."
