Chapter 2405 The Night Witch (2)
Deep within the Dark Sun Forest, the valley remains tranquil and mysterious.
Thick fog enveloped the surroundings, and layers of black leaves hung down, obscuring the sky and leaving only a few wisps of moonlight, like silver threads dissolving into the night.
Amidst the swirling fog, Zhang Yi and his group finally arrived.
Zhang Yi, clad in the armor of the End Demon God, held the Sword of Judgment in his right hand, and it was that sword that caused the Night Witch's eyes to change drastically!
Others might not sense anything different about it, but someone of the Night Witch's level of strength would naturally be able to sense that it belongs to the Omega level ability user and is a powerful remnant of the Ihen race!
She stared intently at Zhang Yi, her previous composure gone.
Zhang Yi exuded no murderous aura, and he held his sword in a reverse grip, hanging it in front of him as a sign of respect.
"I apologize for disturbing you, Night Witch. I have come to pay my respects at the request of the seven Silver Moon Guardians of the Radiant Moon Empire and the seven Black Moon Priests of the Dark Moon Empire."
Zhang Yi nodded slightly, showing no fear in the face of the former First Black Moon Priest.
Having reached his current level of strength, he now possesses the ability to escape from most of the world's strongest individuals.
Moreover, within his alternate dimension, he also possesses Ling, his most prized possession.
“That sword,” the Night Witch said, looking at the Eternal Judgment Sword in Zhang Yi’s hand, her tone somewhat nostalgic, “I once saw it in the database of ancient documents.”
"You obtained it, which means you gained the approval of the second generation of humans, right?"
Zhang Yi nodded, acknowledging the matter.
While the two were talking, Zhang Yi glanced at the two people in front of him out of the corner of his eye.
King Arthur and Saladin, among others, also fixed their gazes on the meteor.
After experiencing so many setbacks, they finally found the target of their mission: the fire seed cultivated by the Radiant Moon Empire.
If we bring the Meteorite back and sacrifice her life, we can ignite the flames and stabilize the sealing power of the Silver Moon Throne.
Their gazes toward the meteor shower held a newfound fervor and eagerness.
However, they did not act rashly. The situation was unclear, and they had to follow Zhang Yi's instructions.
At this moment, Fen Gu was kneeling in the center of the valley, his figure straight and his back stiff.
He placed one hand on the ground, his fingers digging deep into the soil, as if drawing his last courage from the earth. His other arm embraced Shunliuxing, who was kneeling beside him.
An intense rage burned fiercely in his eyes!
Why do these people still bother them when he has already restored the light to the meteor shower?
When a person experiences immense happiness and then loses it in an instant, it undoubtedly brings immense pain and anger!
Burning Bones' body trembled violently, and he made no attempt to conceal his killing intent.
Shunliuxing stood beside him, her eyes having just regained their sight. Her long-lost pupils were now as clear as ever, yet filled with bewilderment.
The Night Witch remained seated on the swing, showing no intention of getting up.
As the former First Black Moon Priestess, she understood the importance of the Fire better than anyone else.
That's why she said that burning one's bones is a meaningless struggle against fate.
Because the people of the two great empires will definitely spare no effort to take her away.
However, meeting the Earthlings was somewhat unexpected for her.
Those sixth-generation humans, whom they had observed for millions of years, were barely considered a relatively successful group, yet they had grown to such an extent so quickly.
The Night Witch rose to her feet, her figure shrouded in the dark moonlight, seemingly blending into the forest itself—mysterious, distant, and untouchable.
She gazed silently at Burning Bones and Instant Meteor, her eyes filled with a mixture of pity and a cold indifference that seemed to see through everything.
"We are taking the spark with us. You should understand the consequences of losing it."
Zhang Yi maintained a respectful tone, but his words were very forceful.
Burning Bones' body suddenly trembled, and he abruptly raised his head, the burning flames in his eyes instantly transforming into vigilance and hostility.
He suddenly stood up, shielding Shunliuxing behind him, his arms outstretched, and his breath surged forth.
"You won't take her away, you won't take her life!"
Burning Bones' voice was hoarse, yet it carried a mad, unwavering persistence.
He knew he couldn't avoid it; he had to face it.
Zhang Yi did not rush forward, but stopped at the valley entrance, calmly looking at the Night Witch in front of the swing set.
Compared to Burning Bones' hostility, his expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest ripple.
"Lady the Night Witch."
Zhang Yi spoke in a low voice, his tone respectful, "As a representative of the sixth generation, I am honored to meet you here. My purpose in coming here is not to offend, but to bring back the Meteor Shower. This is a mission entrusted to me by both the Dark Moon Empire and the Radiant Moon Empire."
The Witch of the Night gazed down silently, her eyes deep and unfathomable.
Her voice seemed to echo from the depths of the black mist, ethereal and indifferent: "Bring it back? But why should I agree to that?"
Her gaze shifted slightly, landing on Shun Liuxing, before returning to Zhang Yi after a moment, like a sharp needle piercing the heart.
Zhang Yi remained calm and slowly replied, "Because if we don't do this, Samael's seal will break prematurely. At that time, the entire moon will be destroyed, and all living beings will vanish in the collapse. Then, neither the Dark Moon Empire nor the Radiant Moon Empire will exist."
"Of course, that includes you and everything you own."
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand.
A black gem appeared in the palm of his hand, as black as ink, with a strange, eerie glow flowing through it.
"This is something the Black Moon priests entrusted to me to give to you."
The valley suddenly fell silent.
The Night Witch's gaze froze instantly as she stared at the gem, remaining silent for a long time.
"This aura... it's hers."
She finally spoke, her tone tinged with complexity.
The sound was ethereal, yet it conveyed a profound and thought-provoking meaning.
"It turns out to be a message from the current First Black Moon Priest..."
Burning Bones suddenly turned around and looked at the Night Witch.
Does this mean that his last support, his grandmother, is going to abandon them?
His eyes were filled with doubt, yet he dared not interrupt at that moment.
At this moment, they could only desperately hope that the Night Witch would protect them, as if grasping at a straw.
Shunliuxing gripped Fengu's arm tightly, feeling an indescribable atmosphere enveloping him.
The Night Witch lowered her head and gently closed her eyes.
The dark moonlight fell again, making her figure seem even more ethereal.
"I have seen the future."
She spoke slowly, her voice sounding as if carried by a sorrowful wind from a thousand years ago.
"I have seen it all come to an end in destruction."
