Original God's Dark Priest

Chapter 914 Kustak Maleka

"Speaking of which, I don't even know your name yet. They call you 'Night God,' and you sometimes refer to yourself as an angel, but what is your real name?" Saffir asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time.

Yagami hadn't expected her to ask this, and after hesitating for a long time, he murmured, "My name... I... don't remember."

"Huh?" Saffir was taken aback. "What does that mean?"

Night God replied, “That name has not been used for a long time. Since becoming Night God, my original name has lost its meaning. No one calls me by that name anymore, so it has disappeared.”

I am nameless, or rather, I have always been waiting, waiting for death, and also waiting for someday in the future for someone to give me the name I should have.

"It's actually a bit sad, and I feel sorry for him too." Saffir thought this guy was quite pitiful. A name is a very important thing. It is proof of a person's existence, a bridge and code between people, and it can give people a sense of belonging and is also the meaning of existence.

But the Goddess of Night has no name, or perhaps she once had one but lost it. In fact, Saffir suspects she may never have had a name at all, because not every angel can have their own name.

Without undergoing the naming ceremony, an angel can only be an angel, not a specific angel. And not every angel is qualified to undergo the naming ceremony.

She wasn't qualified before, but she had a good mother who imprinted her name on her soul, which enabled her to successfully discover her potential and transform from an ordinary angel into an elite angel.

Just like in many games, ordinary monsters don't have names. Above their health bars are their race names, like "Goblin" for example, and below that is a health bar.

Monsters with names are elite monsters or even boss monsters, such as Lightning Keno, and Goblin King Gog.

A name represents not only identity but also power. The God of Night had no name and could only use his body and soul to resist the laws of heaven and earth, eventually twisting himself and becoming helpless against the abyss that invaded his territory.

“I’ll give you a name! It will serve as a bond between us, making our connection even stronger, and allowing me to freely enter and leave the Kingdom of Night,” Saffir suddenly suggested.

Yagami looked at the smiling girl for a long time before saying, "The naming ceremony is a very serious and complicated matter, and it's not something that can be decided on a whim."

“You only said it was complicated, but you didn’t refuse, so I’ll take that as your agreement.” After saying that, Saffir began to think seriously.

Choosing a name that suits Yagami is so difficult.

As Yagami watched as Sapphire began to seriously consider her name, a strange emotion flickered in his heart. Was this girl really the same person as the cold and mad Philigs from many years ago?

“You’ve been in Nata for so long, so your name is naturally in Nata’s language, which is a niche language. As for the template… if I remember correctly, it’s Swahili.”

The name "Night God" is not allowed to directly incorporate the concept of a god; at least, the laws of this world would not agree to it, so it certainly cannot be translated literally.

"As for my duties... are they somewhat similar to receiving? Performing rituals? Or..." Saffir kept thinking.

Yagami thought for a moment and uttered a single word: "Ferryman."

"Hmm? Not bad, the extraditionist? Wasafirishaji, doesn't sound very good... I remember Mavica once said she wanted to give me an ancient name: Angel, but I refused."

"Today I suddenly felt that perhaps combining the two would be a good idea." Saffir clenched his right fist and slammed it against his left palm. "Kushtaki Malaika. Kustak Malaika means: Angelic Guide. From now on, how about I call you Kustak?"

"Kustak, I've got it." Night Goddess, she should be called Kustak now, suddenly understood what happened back then.

She became the Goddess of Night, guarding the Kingdom of Night, becoming the being hidden in the shadows. The man had a conversation with her before his death.

He asked: "Will you resent having to endure all this?"

She answered: Never.

The man smiled with relief, then closed his eyes.

However, when he finally lost his life, she saw his lips move slightly, but he only made a few unintelligible gasps.

It wasn't a big deal, and Kustak didn't take it to heart, though he would occasionally think back on it, wondering what the man had said at the end.

Now, she thinks she understands.

"My life...forges new rules."

Your life is dedicated to protecting the future.

Lead, guide...ferry them...all of them.

"I once wandered through many worlds in a daze and helplessness, my eyes were burned by the brilliance of the starry sea, my body was shrouded in the darkness of calamity, and my eardrums were pierced by the miserable wails. I once thought that life was just so tragic."

I also wanted to ask what mistakes we made to return to this world full of pain. I doubted the meaning of life and watched coldly day after day.

I awaited destruction, unaware that someone had already placed a bet on my future. Did I succeed...?

Heh... To actually believe someone like me, who's not even a local, is really... an idiot.

Saffir felt his connection with the Kingdom of Night God gradually deepen and solidify, and felt the memories surging forth from Kustak's almost depleted sea of ​​consciousness.

She knew that Kustak was no longer lost; she had truly acknowledged everyone who walked on this land and faced the responsibilities on her shoulders.

Although she hadn't thought that much about it beforehand, she had never actually made a mistake.

"Kustak, you did it. You did very well, really."

-----------------

As the night passed, the battle situation in Nata remained unchanged. The next day, Shinonin and Sitrali gave the Holy Night Travel Weave, bestowed by the God of Night, to Ying and Paimon, telling them that it was an item used to record their deeds, and that with it, the forging of the ancient name would become possible.

It's very easy to use; just take it with you on your travels and adventures in Nata, and the content on it will gradually become richer.

It's a very convenient tool.

However, Ying's stay in Nata was not particularly long, so there wasn't much content on the Holy Night Journey, which will need to be added later.

The Holy Night Traveler's Scroll features images of Luminous and Paimon, with a sun in the center surrounded by a ring of runes, and then another ring around that. Currently, only a few runes representing Usabotie, Pidge, and their travel companions are illuminated.

That is, helping Usabotie taste victory, helping Pidge understand sacrifice, and adventuring with Paimon; the rest of the content is blank.

Sitella had already seen the contents of the Holy Night Travel Weave and knew its specific function: "It is merely an ethereal medium that reflects the will of the Night Goddess, displaying what she wants you to see."

"That means you don't need to pay too much attention to its shape. When you need to check the contents, just take it out of your bag and take a look," Xinoning explained in a more colloquial way.

Paimon and Ying were both very curious about this, and didn't find it complicated, since the Holy Night Travel Weaving was indeed very convenient and didn't take up much space.

Ying didn't accept it immediately, but looked at Xinoning and Sitrali: "There's no need to pay any price, right?"

“Oh yeah, if I had one, I’d be too embarrassed to accept it,” Paimon said, realizing what was going on.

Xinoning's expression stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment, then she shook her head vigorously: "No, don't worry about that. You saw it yesterday too. Lady Night God said that helping humanity is her mission."

How could someone who was willing to rebuild the ley lines for Nata, even at the cost of their own life, demand compensation for this?

She spoke with certainty, then looked at Sitella, signaling for her to say a few words as well.

Sitalee seemed a beat slow to react before nodding, "Hmm... it's fine to accept it."

"Hehe, then we won't be polite." Paimon was relieved to see that there was indeed no price to pay.

Ying smiled, knowing that she could accept the gift without feeling guilty.

Saffir arrived at this time and walked over when she saw this scene.

Meeting the tense gazes of Xinoning and Sitrali, she said, "Oh, isn't this the Holy Night Travel Weave? I've already brought it over. You must have a good adventure in Nata in the future, and don't let Xinoning and Sitrali down."

Seeing that Saffir didn't intend to expose them, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good morning, Saphir!" Paimon waved to Saphir.

Just as the group was about to exchange a few pleasantries, Kazina ran over in a panic: "Hey! You're here! Something terrible has happened! The Abyss is back!"

There are so many monsters, they're everywhere! We desperately need help!

Upon hearing this, Xinoning immediately became alert: "How could this be? Not again? We just dealt with one not long ago..."

Nata's abyssal attacks are rhythmic, usually with intervals of time, known as truce periods, allowing both sides to breathe a sigh of relief.

The Holy Night Pilgrimage of Returning to Fire is usually held during the truce period, after which the battle against the Abyss begins, a wave is repelled, and then the rest begins.

This has always been Nata's rule, but now, the Abyss seems to be breaking the rules.

"Now is not the time to think about this, let's hurry up and go provide support." Saffir knew this was bound to happen sooner or later, so he wasn't surprised.

Scattered monsters still appeared around Nata, but they were met with fierce attacks as soon as they appeared. Gradually, the monsters stopped showing themselves randomly and instead gathered together, as if they were guided by something.

"The monsters' offensive has slowed down? Something's fishy." Beidou, who had been stationed near the Flower Feather Society, put away his weapon and looked around warily, but found no danger approaching.

She frowned, trying to contact Saffir, but for some reason, she couldn't get through.

At the same time, upon realizing that Beidou had lost contact, Huzhai Palace immediately reported the situation. When Mavica heard the news, her heart skipped a beat. Before she could react, a loud rumble suddenly echoed between heaven and earth, followed by a violent tremor of the ground.

"Not good!" Mavica knew exactly what was going on and immediately rushed out of the office. The decisive battle was about to begin, and she had to stabilize the situation immediately.

Saffir and the others arrived at this moment. Upon seeing Mavica, Saffir immediately went to greet her: "How is the situation?"

“The communications network established by Pal has experienced fluctuations, with several key locations experiencing disconnections,” Mavica said.

Saffir frowned slightly: "Which specific locations?"

Mavica immediately took a map and marked it.

As he watched the locations being marked, Saffir's brow furrowed deeper and deeper: "These locations are..."

Ten locations around the Olympic Arena were highlighted, all of which were areas where communication was lost, followed by the Flower Feather Society and the Suspended Wood People.

Saffir understood that this was a scheme by the Abyss, and she immediately made a decision: "Concentrate the strongest forces to support the Flower Feather Society and the Suspended Wood People. We cannot afford to lose either of these places."

“I understand. The captain and I will go to those two places ourselves, so there shouldn’t be any problems. But what about the rest?” Mavica also knew what Huayu and the Suspended Wood Man represented.

Saffir gazed at the ten locations surrounding the Olympic Stadium: "Notify everyone in Nata to gather at the Olympic Stadium."

"Is this an evacuation?" Ying didn't quite understand what Safiel meant.

Saffir offered no explanation, simply stating, "Obey orders."

“…Yes.” Ying nodded immediately.

Mavica glanced at Safiel but said nothing.

Saffir continued, “Bring the soldiers back. Be careful not to get injured during the retreat. We need to concentrate our strength and strike hard to avoid being hit by a hundred punches.”

Is there a messenger here? Pass the message down.

“It’s already being delivered!” a messenger named Tompis replied immediately.

The Suspended Wood People are a tribe of grass element. Most of the people in this tribe possess a God Eye of grass element. Of course, there are exceptions, such as some people of other elements. For example, Mavika was born into the Suspended Wood People tribe, but she possesses a God Eye of fire element and also received the ancient name Kiyangoz, which represents a leader.

However, the Suspended Wood People and the Grass Element are the most compatible, so naturally, Pal used the Suspended Wood People's messengers to establish a temporary combat command system.

Right now, Pal and Gulab are issuing orders through the messenger's command system at the Sacred Flame Arena.

"Pal, can you hear me?" Saffir took out something that looked like a void terminal and put it on his ear. Pal made this thing last night. In addition to Saffir, each of the messengers had one. Also, people like Mavica, the captain, and Ying, including Hokuto Kitsune, had them.

Pal replied quickly: "The signal is stable, no problem. Saffir, Fox Palace just told me that Beidou has lost contact. I have already told Mavica."

“I know, I’m with Mavica, now I’ll give you an overview,” Saffir said.

Pal immediately replied: "According to the people of Nata, the abyssal monsters were only appearing sporadically before, and the outbreak period had not yet arrived. However, this morning there were signs of an outbreak, and the situation is still deteriorating..."

"No, there's a massive fluctuation of Void Realm power at the Flower Feather Society's location. We must send people to provide support! And there's another piece of news: even the usually peaceful Land of Wolu has been attacked."

"The Flower Feather Society again? Even the Land of Wolu... What's going on?" Saffir's expression became much more serious.

Mavica also heard the communication: "It seems I must go to the Flower Feather Society to provide support immediately."

“Well, right now we can only be sure that you and Ying are the winners. Hua Yu will be a little closer. Mavica, you go over there. Let Ying go to the Land of Woru. She has a teleportation anchor point…” As soon as Saffir finished speaking, Ying was about to use the teleportation anchor point.

But the next second, a piece of bad news came crashing down on us: "Oh no, the ley lines are disordered, and the teleportation anchor point has failed!"
