The fox stood straight on the ruins, its fluffy tail like red-hot fire, leaping and dazzling.
The fox’s fur was beautiful, but the most peculiar thing was its attire and behavior.
It wore a dark, deep purple glowing dress, and in its hands, it held a harp nearly as tall as itself.
Huh, a harp?
Gloria’s eyes suddenly fixed on it. The harp was being continuously plucked in the fox’s hands. That eerie sound that had been lingering in her ears was coming from the harp!
Suddenly, Gloria’s pupils shrank.
She felt a familiar aura from the harp – when Angel accidentally touched the mysterious realm while practicing alchemy underground in Black Castle, she had personally experienced the intense aura of mystery.
And now, the aura emitted by the harp was almost identical to that mysterious power!
This was definitely a Mysterious Object!
Gloria was initially uneasy, but when she saw the harp, greed surged in her eyes, and she felt a little relieved: “I’m glad I chose to come back, otherwise I might miss this mysterious harp!”
In her eyes, this mysterious harp already belonged to her! It was just a wild fox, what was there to fear?
Gloria’s greedy gaze was caught by the fox. It slowly raised its head and looked at Gloria with its enchanting eyes.
“How beautiful is the night, why be so irritable?”
The red fox casually plucked the strings, and several white strands appeared out of thin air, like arrows leaving their bows, aiming straight at Gloria.
A battle was about to begin!
Meanwhile, in a mansion tens of miles away, a rustling sound suddenly appeared.
There was a “giant tree” emblem at the entrance of this mansion, and almost no one in the Wizarding World could fail to recognize the meaning of this emblem.
The giant tree represented the Eternal Tree, which was the emblem of Savage Grottoes in various locations.
Several figures appeared outside the Savage Grottoes’ residence, led by the Radiant Douglas.
He rushed into this dark area without hesitation, reaching the residences of major wizard organizations first, calling on the stationed wizards, and preparing to leave together.
He had already gathered more than a dozen, and the Savage Grottoes’ stationed wizard was the last one.
The stationed wizard sent by the Savage Grottoes was a first-level elemental wizard named Firo. When Douglas arrived, a faint layer of water membrane shone around him, struggling to resist the evil desires invading from the sound of the harp.
As soon as Douglas arrived, the radiant barrier invaded Firo’s surroundings.
Firo, who was initially struggling to resist the evil desires, instantly relaxed in the radiant barrier.
“Firo, hurry over, we’re gathering everyone’s strength to forcibly create a planar passage and leave this place!” Douglas called out.
Upon hearing this, Firo immediately stepped forward: “Lord Douglas, what is going on?”
“Never mind what’s going on!” Seeing Firo’s confused face, Douglas didn’t bother to explain further and scolded, “I don’t know either. Let’s leave first!”
“Yes, Firo, stop asking. The entire outer city is blocked by darkness, and we have no idea what happened. If it weren’t for Douglas, we would have been corrupted by that evil desire.” The speaker was Firo’s friend from the medium-sized wizard organization, Night Language Forest.
“This evil desire is too strong; we cannot resist it with our strength alone.”
“It must be the followers of the sinister play, these believers of the demon god are so crazy. This time they dare to attack the Sleepless City directly; they’re too presumptuous!”
As they speculated about what was happening in the outer city, Douglas’ forehead began to sweat turbidly.
“Quick! Stop talking and gather your strength to create a passage.”
Although he had reached the second level of wizardry, he had no idea where these evil desires came from. Even the Barrier of Purification Light was being slowly corroded. If they hesitated any longer, the Purification Light Barrier might be destroyed.
Once they could no longer maintain the Purification Light Barrier, all the wizards would be exposed to the evil desires.
Douglas explained his situation, and although the people were initially uncooperative, they quickly agreed when they heard they might be exposed to the evil desires.
“I will maintain the Purification Light Barrier; you all create the passage!” With that, everyone gathered their strength to forcibly dig a passage.
As everyone tried to pry open the solid space with their combined efforts, a graceful woman wearing a straw hat appeared outside the Barrier of Purification Light.
She radiated intense malice, but perhaps she had some sort of protection, as her body occasionally flashed with a clear aura.
“Lord Firo, I… I can’t hold on any longer. Can you take me with you?” A soft, panting, seductive female voice came from her.
Firo hesitated for a moment, looking up at her and then at Douglas with uncertainty.
Douglas looked up and saw the woman exuding a charming aura, which, combined with the evil desire melody, added to her allure even without seeing her face.
But no matter how alluring, she was just an ordinary apprentice.
“She is ‘Redemption of the Dead’ Nisi’s apprentice from Soul Valley, extremely talented…”
Before Firo could finish speaking, Douglas interrupted, “Enough! You entering the Purification Light Barrier is already at its limit; you cannot bring anyone else, or the barrier will collapse immediately!”
Firo shut his mouth as soon as he heard this. No matter how talented Nisi’s apprentice was, he wouldn’t risk his life for an apprentice.
The straw hat woman, seemingly out of options, started to harbor evil thoughts.
She heard that if one more person entered the Purification Light Barrier, it would collapse. Originally, she had a subtle attitude, but with the evil thoughts in her heart, she became more aggressive, wanting to force her way into the Purification Light Barrier.
“Let me in, or none of you are getting out of here!”
Everyone was opening the dimensional rift, and for a moment, no one could stop the woman with the hat.
As she was about to rush into the Purification Light Barrier, a crazy voice came from afar: “Water Spell! Die!”
The woman with short blue curls suddenly appeared outside the Purification Light Barrier, steam rising from her body as she launched a fierce attack on the woman with the hat.
The woman with the hat had no choice but to deal with the newcomer, leaping several times to the roof on the other side.
“Sleepy Trickle to Flowing Stream, you crazy woman!” She said while looking around. Since Hilary appeared here, the other two women must be showing up as well.
Sure enough, she saw a huge figure in the darkness, which seemed to be the magical servant called Gank.
“They are opening the dimensional rift; let’s have a truce for now. We can fight however we want once we enter the rift and leave this place!” The woman with the hat shouted.
However, Hilary was already in a frenzy and completely ignored her words.
She gritted her teeth and cursed: “Damn it!”
At this moment, the sound of the harp that had plunged the entire outer city into evil desires suddenly stopped.
As the sound stopped, the evil desires atmosphere ceased. Hilary, who was originally in a frenzy, also calmed down.
On the other side, Douglas relaxed a bit. No longer needing to maintain the Purification Light Barrier pressure, his eyes flashed with cold light, looking at the woman with the hat.
“Threatening us, even if your mentor Nisi is here, I will tear you to pieces!” Douglas stretched out his hand, and a ball of light began to gather.
Firo wanted to say something but ultimately didn’t speak.
Just as the woman with the hat was about to fall into the light ball, a strange breath came from above.
Douglas was momentarily stunned, and the other wizards were also attracted by this breath, looking up one after another.
At the location that was originally the core of eternal daylight, a vortex appeared. This vortex was the reason the outer city fell into darkness, and now the vortex changed again.
A breath that none of the wizards could remain calm about came out.
“This is…” A greedy look flashed in Douglas’s eyes. “Mysterious aura! Absolutely! This is the power of mystery!”
Could it be that this sudden domain of darkness was not an attack but the birth of a mysterious item?!
Not only did Douglas think so, but most of the others also had the same thought.
Among the wizards present, almost everyone had seen the wandering wizard Fivenda’s —Strange World—, which recorded the birth of a mysterious item in a certain dimension.
That mysterious item was born when Fivenda was observing a strange silverfish in an ocean plane.
Its birth was inexplicable and followed no rules.
It was precisely this lack of rules that seemed somewhat similar to their current experience.
The mysterious aura grew stronger, causing everyone’s hearts to fill with desire and greed. If they could obtain a mysterious item, their combat power would undoubtedly soar, and if they were lucky, the Mysterious Object could resonate with them, potentially paving a smooth path for their future!
As everyone was lost in thought, a strange voice suddenly echoed throughout the city:
“Quack quack, praise the Queen, praise Shava, praise… quack? Why is it you who came…”
As this peculiar voice appeared, the languid music resounded once more.
Evil desires rose again!
Douglas immediately raised a Purification Light Barrier, “No matter what is happening inside, we will leave first and discuss it later!”
Not long after, the interdimensional passage was finally opened, and all the wizards began to pour into the channel. However, before entering the passage, almost everyone looked back greedily toward the outer city covered in darkness.
The passage closed, cutting off the others’ retreat.
After they left, only the woman in the wide-brimmed hat and Hilary remained in the dark Savage Grottoes residence.
The woman in the wide-brimmed hat had escaped Douglas’s punishment, but Hilary was once again in a frenzied state due to the music.
Not only that, a dull sound of footsteps was coming from the other side of the street. Under the dim light of the fire basin at the entrance, a huge figure could be vaguely seen.
On the shoulders of this towering figure, a little girl with scarlet eyes – Coral, also glared at her with a resentful gaze.
—Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
A fierce wind approached from behind.
The woman in the wide-brimmed hat had keen senses and quickly dodged.
As the sound of the wind disappeared, a woman wearing soft armor and with a metallic sheen on one hand appeared directly in front of her.
The woman in the wide-brimmed hat, filled with hatred, gritted her teeth and called out the woman’s name: “Nausica…”
