The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 445 Rift Conspiracy
Just as David, Leah, and the others were discussing strategies to fight the Abyss in the World Tree projection conference space at the center of the Wizarding World, a female wizard named Nova, dressed in a tight-fitting combat suit and with sharp eyes, hurriedly entered the conference space.

Her arrival instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Nova is an elite wizard in the wizarding world, renowned for her intelligence gathering and analysis skills. She has a thorough understanding of the dynamics of various forces in the multiverse.

At this moment, her face was filled with seriousness and urgency, and she was tightly holding an encrypted intelligence scroll in her hand.

“David, Leah, allies, I have an emergency to report.” Nova’s clear and strong voice cut through the noise in the meeting room.

Upon hearing this, David and Lia immediately stopped their discussion and turned to look at Nova.

Other wizards also turned their attention to it.

Nova didn't say much, but walked directly to the center of the meeting space and unfolded the intelligence scroll in her hand.

As the scroll was unfurled, detailed intelligence information was revealed to everyone.

“This is the latest evidence our intelligence network has obtained regarding the collusion between the remnants of the Shadow Eaters and the Abyss,” Nova began her report. “According to our investigation, the remnants of the Shadow Eaters, with the assistance of the Abyss, are plotting an extremely dangerous plan.”

"What plan?" David asked in a deep voice, his eyes revealing vigilance.

Nova took a deep breath and continued, "Their plan is to corrode the roots of the World Tree, creating a terrifying passage called the 'Eternal Night Rift.' Once formed, this rift will become a bottomless pit, constantly devouring energy from the multiverse and providing a continuous source of power for the Abyss."

"The Rift of Eternal Night?!" Upon hearing this, Lia's expression changed drastically. "This... how is this possible?!"

“The intelligence is absolutely true.” Nova nodded solemnly. “The remnants of the Shadow Eaters and the Abyss have been preparing for this plan for a long time. They are using the dark power of the Abyss to gradually erode the environment around the World Tree, creating conditions for the Eternal Night Rift.”

The atmosphere in the meeting space instantly became heavy.

All wizards are well aware of the World Tree's importance to the multiverse.

It is the link connecting the various planes and the key to maintaining the balance of the multiverse. Once the roots of the World Tree are corrupted, creating the Everlasting Night Rift, the consequences will be unimaginable.

“We must act immediately to stop this plan!” David shouted, his voice filled with determination.

“That’s right!” Lia also stepped forward. “The collusion between the remnants of the Shadow Eaters and the Abyss has seriously threatened the safety of the multiverse. We cannot stand idly by!”

The other wizards also expressed their agreement, and they began a heated discussion about how to stop the remnants of the Shadow Eaters and their plans for the Abyss Hell.

Nova continued her report, detailing the intelligence: "According to our investigation, the remnants of the Shadow Eaters are operating with great secrecy. They are using the Abyss as cover to operate from hidden locations around the World Tree. At the same time, they have also sent spies and infiltrators to try to infiltrate our wizarding world, steal classified information, and sabotage our defenses."

“This is incredibly cunning!” an ally of the Light faction exclaimed angrily. “We must increase our vigilance to prevent their infiltration and sabotage.”

“That’s right.” David nodded. “At the same time, we also need to send out elite reconnaissance teams to penetrate deep into the area surrounding the World Tree and gather more intelligence on the remnants of the Shadow Eaters and the activities of the Abyss Hell.”

“I have already assigned some elite wizards to do this work,” Nova said. “They will use various means to gather intelligence and monitor the movements of the Shadow Eater remnants.”

“Very good.” David nodded in satisfaction. “Next, we need to develop a detailed action plan to both stop the remnants of the Shadow Eaters and the plans of the Abyss Hell, and to ensure that our wizarding world remains unharmed.”

Under David's leadership, the wizards once again engaged in heated discussions.

They used their wisdom and experience to continuously improve their action plan.

Finally, after a heated discussion, they came up with a detailed action plan.

First, strengthen the defenses of the Wizarding World to prevent the infiltration and sabotage of the remnants of the Shadow Eaters;

Secondly, dispatch elite reconnaissance teams to penetrate deep into the area surrounding the World Tree and gather more intelligence on the remnants of the Shadow Eaters and the activities of the Abyss Hell.

Next, assemble a strike force composed of the most powerful wizards to launch a surprise attack on the Shadow Eater remnants and the strongholds of the Abyss Hell at a critical moment;
Finally, we must maintain close contact with allies across all dimensions to jointly address this crisis.

After finalizing their action plan, the wizards all expressed their determination to take immediate action and strive to stop the remnants of the Shadow Eaters and the plans of the Abyss Hell as soon as possible.

Before the meeting concluded, David reiterated the importance of unity and cooperation. "We are facing an extremely dangerous enemy," he said. "Only by uniting and fighting together can we achieve final victory."

All the wizards nodded in agreement.

They knew that this crisis threatened not only the wizarding world, but also the safety of the entire multiverse.

Only by uniting as one can we defeat this powerful enemy.

As the meeting concluded, the wizards left the meeting space and began their intense work.

Nova stayed behind, looking at David and Leah with a determined glint in her eyes.

“David, Leah, I believe you can lead the wizarding world through this crisis,” Nova said. “I will also do my best to contribute to this battle.”

While the wizarding world is preparing for war, David and Liliana are leading a squad of elite wizards on a quiet journey to the Seventh Hell of the Abyss.

Their objective is to infiltrate the core of the corruption, thwart the conspiracy of the Shadow Eaters remnants and the Abyss, and prevent the formation of the "Eternal Night Rift."

Besides David and Liliana, there are also Ely, who is good at spatial positioning, Killua, who is proficient in life barriers, and witches such as Leah.

Each of them possesses unique skills and equipment, making them an indispensable force in this infiltration operation.

Before setting off, David and Liliana made detailed plans and assigned tasks to the team members.

They developed a detailed action plan and emphasized discipline and cooperation during the operation.

Everyone was fully aware of the danger and importance of this mission, and their eyes were filled with determination and resolve.

At a command, the team members unleashed their respective magic and skills, instantly disappearing from the edge of the wizarding world.

They traversed dark forests, treacherous mountains, and the void filled with the unknown and dangers.

With Yili's precise spatial positioning, they avoided the patrol teams and traps of the Abyss Hell and gradually approached their target area—the Seventh Hell of the Abyss.

The Seventh Hell of the Abyss is one of the most dangerous and mysterious areas in the Abyss Hell.

This place is filled with endless darkness and evil power, and is the core area where the remnants of the Shadow Eater Clan collude with the Abyss Hell.

David and Liliana were well aware of the dangers here, but they did not back down.

They led their team members cautiously into this terrifying area.

Upon entering the Seventh Abyss, the team members immediately sensed that this place was unusual.

The air was thick with a stench of decay and evil, and the surroundings were deathly silent, broken only by the occasional eerie sound.

They moved forward cautiously, constantly alert to any movement around them.

Guided by Ely, they navigated a complex maze of traps. Using her spatial awareness, Ely precisely calculated the length and direction of each path, ensuring the team's safe passage through the dangerous area.

Killua, on the other hand, is always ready to cast a life barrier to protect the team members from the evil forces in the Abyss.

After a period of stealth, the team members finally arrived at the core area of ​​the Seventh Hell of the Abyss.

This is a huge underground cave, and in the center of the cave stands a black altar.

The altar was covered with eerie runes and patterns, exuding a chilling and malevolent aura.

Around the altar, remnants of the Shadow Eaters and minions of the Abyss were busily performing some kind of ritual.

Seeing this, David and Liliana felt a surge of anger.

They knew that this was evidence of the Shadow Eater remnants' collusion with the Abyss, and the key to their creation of the "Eternal Night Rift."

"Ready for action!"

David gave the order in a low voice.

He gave his team members a look, signaling them to proceed with the plan.

The team members immediately sprang into action. Using his spatial positioning abilities, Ely set up a series of spatial traps and portals around the altar.

These traps and portals can disrupt the actions of the Shadow Eater remnants and Abyssal minions at crucial moments, buying precious time for the squad members.

Killua then cast a life barrier, enveloping the team members within it.

This barrier can withstand most of the evil forces in the Abyss, protecting the safety of the squad members.

In addition, it can provide squad members with additional health regeneration, ensuring they can maintain their best condition in battle.

Lia, holding a longsword, stood at the very front of the squad.

His eyes were sharp as he vigilantly observed the movements around him.

As the squad's melee and defense specialist, he will be responsible for fending off the Shadow Eater remnants and Abyssal Hell minions, creating opportunities for the other members to attack.

David and Liliana stood on the two flanks of the team, respectively.

They held staffs, ready to unleash powerful magical attacks.

Their goal was to destroy the black altar, interrupt the rituals of the Shadow Eater remnants and the Abyss, and prevent the formation of the "Eternal Night Rift."

Just as the team members were preparing to launch their attack, a chilling laugh suddenly echoed through the cave.

"Hahahaha... Do you think you can easily ruin our plans?" A figure slowly emerged from behind the altar; it was none other than the leader of the Shadow Eater Clan's remnants—the Lord of Shadows.

The Lord of Shadows wore a long black robe and a strange mask on his face.

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, as if he could see through the fear and despair in people's hearts. He looked at the team members, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"You bunch of overconfident fools, how dare you trespass into the Seventh Hell of the Abyss," said the Lord of Shadows. "But it's fine, it'll give me a chance to see just how strong you are."

With that, the Shadow Lord waved his hand, summoning a horde of minions from the abyss to attack the team members.

These claws and teeth come in various shapes and sizes; some resemble giant bats flying in the air, while others look like twisted monsters crawling on the ground.

They roared and pounced on the team members.

Faced with this ferocious enemy, the team members did not back down.

They launched their counterattack as planned. Ely quickly activated spatial traps and portals, disrupting the enemy's movements.

Killua strengthened the Life Barrier defenses to ensure the team members were not harmed.

Lia, meanwhile, wielded her longsword and engaged in fierce close combat with the enemy.

David and Liliana unleashed powerful magical attacks, relentlessly bombarding the enemy.

With the combined efforts of the squad members, the enemy was quickly repelled.

But the Lord of Shadows showed no sign of panic. He coldly observed his squad members, as if everything was under his control.

"Hmph...this is just an appetizer," said the Lord of Shadows. "The real challenge is yet to come."

As he spoke, he waved his hand again, summoning an even more powerful enemy—the Abyss Lord.

These abyss lords are advanced creatures from the abyss, possessing powerful magic and melee abilities.

Their appearance put unprecedented pressure on the team members.

Faced with the Abyss Lord's attack, the team members had to be even more cautious.

They used their skills and equipment to fight a desperate battle against the enemy.

Ely continuously activated spatial traps and portals to disrupt the enemy's actions;

Killua strengthened the defensive capabilities of the Life Barrier and continuously restored the health of the team members;
Lia, meanwhile, wielded her longsword and engaged in close combat with the enemy;
David and Liliana unleashed even more powerful magical attacks to bombard the enemy.

After a fierce battle, the squad members finally defeated all the Abyss Lords.

But the Lord of Shadows remained standing beside the altar, coldly watching them.

"Hmph... Do you think this will stop us?" said the Shadow Lord. "Let me tell you, the creation of the 'Eternal Night Rift' is nearing completion. Everything you are doing now is in vain."

Upon hearing this, the team members felt a surge of despair.

They knew time was of the essence and they had to destroy the black altar as soon as possible to prevent the formation of the "Eternal Night Rift".

But the Lord of Shadows stood as a stumbling block in their way.

Just then, David suddenly thought of a solution.

He whispered to Liliana, "Liliana, you use magic to hold back the Shadow Lord; I will destroy the altar."
