Night of Despair-Chapter 478 - 476 Destruction II

Over ten minutes later.

Swish!

The Black Spirit suddenly appeared near the Myriad Dragon Mountain, accompanied by colorful streaks of light.

"Here!!"

With a low shout, Ku Chan shot out from the main door, rushing into the ruins of the base and squeezing through a broken hole.

"Are you sure this is the place?" Yu Hong asked through communication magic.

"Yes, I just sensed Jiafei’s power fluctuation." Ku Chan replied.

His spiritual power is actually much stronger than Yu Hong’s, so his sense of detailed positioning in this regard is also better than Yu Hong’s.

In the ruins of the base, Ku Chan quickly searched.

Before long, he found a familiar-looking black heap in the corner.

He approached and unleashed a spell.

Whoosh!

A layer of strong airflow quickly appeared, blowing clean the surface of the black heap.

The black dispersed, revealing underneath the dragon body of Gabriela, already almost half-melted.

She lay with her eyes closed, holding a magic wand, her body shielding a larger dragon body behind her.

The dragon body behind her was even more severely melted, barely retaining the semblance of a dragon.

"I’ve found her!!" Ku Chan rejoiced, reaching to feel Jiafei’s heartbeat and confirmed she was still alive.

"She’s still savable! I’ll drag her back first!"

"Alright! I’ll cover with a healing aura." Yu Hong said gravely.

Moments later.

The Black Spirit’s basement.

The massive dragon body of Gabriela, originally over 30 meters, now only a little over 10 meters remained intact.

The rest had long since melted into a turbid liquid.

Ku Chan and Yu Hong stayed by her side, extending their hands to cover her with a blue-white halo, strengthening Jiafei’s recovery.

This was the Spirit Light Secret Skill; with injuries this severe, the Elf Ancient Tree’s Call was of no use.

Jiafei hovered on the brink of death at any moment.

Making a decisive call, Yu Hong directly implanted a Spirit Light Seed in her, turning its core to enhance recovery.

In no time, the two finished their work, cleaned Jiafei’s wounds, applied medicine, and finally left the basement.

The original training area was mostly cleared out for Jiafei’s rest space.

"Is she alright now?" Chi Xiao asked.

"She’s out of danger, but at least half of her body’s tissues have been dissolved. Recovering in the future will be very difficult." Yu Hong sighed.

"What do we do now?" Ku Chan asked, walking to the window to look outside.

Outside, clusters of explosive gray light and swarms of lurking humanoid creatures roamed.

These humanoid creatures were the same type they had encountered in the Wind Disaster currents.

Only, here they were much smaller than those they had met before.

"This world probably can’t hold on anymore. Let’s search for useful things and leave." Yu Hong sighed.

"At least the warrior system here, the True God system, still has some utility."

He stood by the window, watching Yiyi go downstairs to care for Jiafei through the glass reflection.

Chi Xiao lamented while slicing an apple with his body.

Ku Chan, on the other hand, took out a small notebook and was recording something.

"But everything’s turned to ruins; it’s hard to find any remnants."

After some thought.

Yu Hong figured that since the White Dragon could last long without fully melting, then other stronger entities should also achieve a similar effect.

"The Temple, or incredibly strong sealed chambers... should have some chance."

Instantly, he piloted the Black Spirit to wing around the Myriad Dragon Mountain.

Since its last upgrade, the Black Spirit had greatly increased stealth, and with stealth mode activated, it could remain isolated from external worlds, incredibly formidable.

Looking from afar, the Black Spirit seemed like a ship rolling across the dry land. Silently here one moment, there the next.

Bang.

Quickly, Yu Hong spotted a cavern noticeably more ornate than the others around, then broke down the door.

He didn’t open up a safe house to enter, as there was no room inside to accommodate the bulk of the Black Spirit.

Immediately, he walked to the entrance, a self-replenishing layer of protection automatically appearing.

Whoosh!

Before anyone could speak, he had rushed out of the safe base, transforming into a phantom and arriving inside the cavern.

Inside was a snowy white chill.

Each humanoid creature, over ten meters long, slithered like snakes inside.

Yu Hong sensed the erosion speed of Inner Strength and Spirit Light on his body.

’I can hold out for about twenty minutes. That’s enough.’

After twenty minutes, he could only physically withstand it, and he didn’t want to get hurt, so he had to hurry.

Whoosh!

Dashing through the midst of the humanoid creatures, Yu Hong casually waved his hand.

Two humanoid creatures instantly exploded like grey-white balloons, bursting into countless tiny fragments.

Yu Hong entered the inner passage of the Dragon Cave, sprinting faster while pointing a finger.

Shadows of Fear emerged one after another.

Ranging from low to high levels.

Three seconds later, Yu Hong left a Cai Jing Taoist there, for only the Colorful Mirror had a strong resistance to the corrosion here.

This resistance even outdid Yu Hong himself by a bit.

"Go scour for any books or treasures in here."

He casually instructed, while hastening through the corridor, entering what seemed like a bedroom in an oblong dragon cave.

Quickly, he saw a part of the wall showing contents falling out due to the dissolved lid.

Before the recess, a viscous form barely recognizable as a dragon sprawled out on the ground, long devoid of breath.

Yu Hong stepped over the viscous form and retrieved things from the recess. He glanced slightly at a cover depicting a dragon-headed figure wielding a large sword, performing a sword art.

He tucked it straight into his bosom.

Yu Hong searched around further.

Soon, a small arm-length staff next to the bed caught his attention.

Picking up the short staff, Yu Hong found that it had only slightly dissolved.

He immediately fastened it to his back waist as well.

Confirming nothing else was left, he finally reached the dragon-shaped viscous heap.

He stretched out his hand and gently touched the mucus.

Hiss!

The sound of intense corrosion arose, accompanied by thick white smoke.

Yu Hong shook his head, turned, and quickly left.

Returning to the Black Spirit, he controlled the safe house to move to other places.

Utilizing brief leap-style movements through the Wind Disaster currents.

For a second time.

The safe house emerged slowly from within the colorful lines.

This time, outside lay a half-destroyed chapel and palace ruins.

Transparent crows circled, flying above.

Massive humanoid creatures dragged long white smoke, hunting for possible living beings.

Bang!

Yu Hong kicked open a spiral tower’s door.

The milky-white tower spiked sharply, up to over twenty stories high. The top flickered intermittently with red light.

In the first-floor hall.

The red carpet lay soaked; it was unclear whether with blood or water.

Half-dissolved humanoid figures slouched against the wall, sitting limply on the ground.

Tap, tap, tap.

Yu Hong walked step-by-step towards the deepest stairwell.

This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.

Ascending the spiral staircase.

Bang.

A mage’s bedroom was forcibly opened.

Inside the gray-white room, aside from books on shelves and a bed, nothing else remained.

Without a word, Yu Hong stepped up to shove all the books on the bookshelf into the burlap sack he brought.

Spirit Light covered them, slowing the corrosion.

Then continued to the next room.

One mage’s room after another was emptied.

Wands, spellbooks, spellcasting materials—it didn’t matter, as long as they were still intact and uncured, they went into Yu Hong’s sack.

Moments later, he finally took down the human head-sized red Crystal still flashing red atop the tower and placed it into the sack.

His gaze fixed towards the heart of this city, towards the Temple.

Boom.

The Temple’s heavy door was kicked open as well.

Yu Hong stepped inside.

In the gilded great hall, fully armed silver-armored Holy Temple Knights kept kneeling on one knee, maintaining their pre-death prayer stances.

Beneath the armor chinks flowed out the murky liquid.

That was from their flesh melting down.

Yu Hong swiftly moved inward, quickly reaching the idol.

The idol depicted a beautiful blonde woman in a diaphanous gown and a crowned head.

The woman bore a longbow, with golden armguards on her arms. Majestic with a hint of allure.

Yu Hong glanced at the woman’s idol, glanced around, then climbed up to pull the longbow from behind the idol.

Snap.

It seemed the longbow was stuck by something, not able to be fully removed.

Yu Hong applied force.

Still couldn’t remove it.

He wondered, examining closely.

As a result....

A pair of slender, pale hands tightly grasped the other end of the longbow.

"Young man, I’m not dead yet. Isn’t it a bit hasty to take someone else’s belongings?"

An enchanting young female voice sounded beside him.

Yu Hong jumped, swiftly releasing the bow, stepping back several steps to create distance.

Only then did he see, that the female idol had actually winked at him.

"Sorry, I just thought, since you don’t need it anymore, why not let me make full use of it, let it serve a greater purpose." Yu Hong calmly said.

In bygone times, he might have blushed, but now... he was long a changed man.

"Indeed... My Divine Country is gone, remaining here would only be pitiful existence." The woman sighed. "This Divine Artifact, you may have it, but I hope you agree to a small request of mine."

"You say your request first, and I’ll see if I can agree." Yu Hong cautiously stated.

"I see you possess some unique ability to resist this unknown disaster, so.... could you take this child away?"

The woman clasped her hands together, then gently opened them.

Suddenly, in her palms lay a tiny golden-haired girl with transparent wings, curled and lying naked.

"What’s she?" Yu Hong asked.

"She’s a part of me, I left all undividable parts here, and gave her all that could be separated. She is me, I am her." The woman said softly.

"Now my consciousness is here, but once you take her away, I can transfer my consciousness to her."

She paused, adding a word.

"I know you wish to gather the knowledge here—if you take me away, my over one hundred thousand years of memory and knowledge will be your fortune. Much easier than painstakingly seeking out scattered, possibly lost or twisted knowledge everywhere."

"I cannot trust you, rashly letting you join isn’t aligned with my safety requirements." Yu Hong had long anticipated such situations, so he prepared a strategy beforehand.

"Therefore, I need to leave insurance on you."

"This is a divine body. Even if I wanted, you wouldn’t be able to exert any control." The woman helplessly said.

"No problem. Let’s try." Yu Hong extended his hand, a blue light flickering at his fingertip.

Behind him, the phantom of the Ultimate Sun flickered briefly.

The woman’s expression slightly changed seeing this.
