The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 457 Hidden Dangers of the Divine Body
Led by David and Lia, the temple guards began to fight back and gradually turned the tide of the battle.

After a fierce battle, the allied forces of the Eternal Night Council and the Shadow Eaters were finally defeated.

The temple has returned to its former tranquility and peace.

David and Lia stood on the high platform of the temple, watching the smoke of battle gradually dissipate in the distance, their hearts filled with emotion and relief.

They knew that this victory had not come easily.

They made tremendous efforts and sacrifices to achieve this moment of peace and tranquility.

But they also believe that as long as they continue to fight side by side and forge ahead, they will definitely be able to protect the future of this universe.

However, they also knew that the Eternal Night Council and the Shadow Eaters would not give up easily.

They will surely come back again to try and destroy the Temple and the Star-Eyed Clan's power.

Therefore, David and Lia decided to continue strengthening their power and seeking more allies to jointly fight against the threat of the Night Council and the Shadow Eaters.

In the days that followed, David and Leah began to travel around looking for ways and resources to enhance their strength.

They visited many ancient ruins and mysterious organizations in an attempt to gain useful information and power.

They also actively sought connections with other races and forces to gain their support and assistance.

David and Leah encountered many difficulties and challenges during this process, but they never gave up.

With unwavering faith and courage, they overcame one obstacle after another and gradually grew into one of the most powerful warriors in the universe.

Meanwhile, the Eternal Night Council and the Shadow Devourer Clan were not idle either.

They are also constantly seeking new allies and forces in an attempt to launch another attack on the temple.

The contest between the two sides continued to unfold in the universe, forming a protracted war.

But no matter how the war unfolded, David and Lydia always held fast to their beliefs and mission.

They believe that as long as they continue to fight side by side and forge ahead, they will surely be able to protect the future of this universe and usher in true peace and tranquility...

In this protracted war, David and Lia not only face threats from the Night Council and the Shadow Eaters, but also have to contend with unknown forces from the depths of the universe.

They knew that only by continuously improving their strength and finding more allies could they remain invincible in this war.

So David and Lia began to train and study even harder.

They not only mastered more combat skills and magical powers, but also learned how to use the natural forces of the universe to enhance their strength.

At the same time, they actively forge closer ties with other races and forces to jointly combat the threats posed by the Eternal Night Council and the Shadow Eaters.

During this process, David and Leah also met many like-minded friends and partners.

Some of them were warriors from other races, some were magicians with special abilities, and some were scholars who possessed ancient knowledge.

These people became David and Lia's strongest support and allies, giving them more confidence and strength when facing the Eternal Night Council and the Shadow Eaters.

However, war is always full of variables and uncertainties.

Even with their thorough preparations, David and Leah could not fully predict the enemy's actions and strategies.

During a fierce battle with the Eternal Night Council and the Shadow Eaters, they suddenly encountered an unknown force from the depths of the universe—a dark force capable of devouring all light and life.

This dark power was so strong that it made David and Leah feel a chill run down their spines.

They knew that if this force were allowed to continue spreading, the entire universe would be plunged into endless darkness and despair.

So they decided to stop the spread of this force at all costs.

In the days that followed, David and Leah led their allies and companions in a fierce battle against this dark force.

They not only have to face direct attacks from dark forces, but also deal with the various negative impacts and disasters they bring.

But no matter how great the difficulties and challenges they encountered, they always adhered to their beliefs and mission and never gave up their pursuit of light and life.

Just as David and the Night Council were locked in a fierce battle with the Shadow Eaters' allied forces, Lia was well aware of the gravity of the situation.

She knew that if she couldn't buy David enough time, they might both perish in this battle.

Therefore, she made a bold and dangerous decision—to forcibly liberate the unstable jade divine body.

This decision was undoubtedly a huge risk for Leah.

Although the Jade God Body granted her immense power, its unstable state meant that she could not fully control this power.

However, Leah couldn't worry about anything else; she had to put all her strength into fighting for David's life.

As Lia's will hardened, her skin began to crack, as if something was about to burst out of her body.

Immediately afterwards, a rich green sap seeped from the cracks in her skin; it was the sap of the Mother Tree of Life, containing boundless vitality and healing power.

The release of this power caused Lia's aura to surge instantly, and a strong natural energy fluctuation permeated her body.

Her eyes became exceptionally bright, as if they could see through all the mysteries of the world.

At this moment, Lia seemed to merge with the Mother Tree of Life, becoming the embodiment of nature.

Feeling the powerful energy emanating from Lia, David felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He knew this was a sacrifice Lia made for him, which strengthened his resolve to fight.

He must win this battle, not only for the peace of the temple, but also for Lia's sacrifice.

Meanwhile, Nova also led her wizarding group into action.

They knew that in this battle, victory could not be achieved through mere armed confrontation.

So, they used their magical knowledge to construct a complex barrier, dividing the battlefield into thirty-six miniature spaces.

This complex barrier not only isolates the chaotic energy fluctuations on the battlefield, but also makes the battles within each micro-space relatively independent.

In this way, the alliance between the Eternal Night Council and the Shadow Eaters would be unable to form an effective coordinated operation, allowing David and Lia to focus more on dealing with their respective opponents.

Under Nova's command, the members of the wizarding corps each performed their duties, constantly adjusting and perfecting the barrier.

Their magical light shimmered in the night sky, adding a touch of mystery to the battle.

David and Leah then used the power of this barrier to launch a counterattack against the allied forces.

With the power of his Emerald God Body, David moved like a green lightning bolt across the battlefield, traversing between various micro-spaces.

He used his speed and strength to launch surprise attacks and disrupt the allied forces, preventing them from launching an effective offensive.

Lia, through her close connection with nature, unleashed a powerful healing force.

She used her power to heal the wounded temple guards and restore their fighting strength.

At the same time, she also unleashed powerful natural magic attacks from time to time, inflicting heavy damage on the allied forces.

As time went on, the situation on the battlefield gradually reversed.

With the combined efforts of the wizarding order led by David, Leah, and Nova, the allied forces began to suffer a series of defeats. Their morale plummeted, and their fighting capacity was greatly reduced.

However, just as victory was imminent, the allied forces of the Eternal Night Council and the Shadow Eaters suddenly launched a fierce counterattack.

They seemed to realize their precarious situation and decided to launch a desperate final attack.

Faced with the allied forces' counterattack, David and Leah showed no fear whatsoever.

They knew this was a crucial moment that would determine victory or defeat, and they had to give it their all.

So they joined forces again and launched an attack, engaging in a fierce battle with the allied forces.

After a fierce battle, David and Leah finally defeated the last line of defense of the allied forces.

The allied forces of the Eternal Night Council and the Shadow Eaters finally retreated after suffering heavy losses.

The temple once again welcomed peace and tranquility.

After the battle, David hugged Leah tightly, his heart filled with gratitude and love.

He knew that without Leah's sacrifice and Nova's help, they could not have won the battle.

Lia nestled in David's arms, a tired yet relieved smile on her face.

Nova and the members of the wizarding order also came forward to congratulate them.

They knew that the victory in this battle belonged not only to David and Leah, but also to all those who fought for peace and justice.

In the days that followed, David and Leah began to rebuild the temple and strengthen its defenses.

They knew that the Eternal Night Council and the Shadow Eaters would not easily give up their covetousness of the Temple, so they had to be fully prepared to meet the challenges of the future.

At the same time, they also began to look for more ways and resources to enhance their strength.

They visited more ancient ruins and mysterious organizations, and established connections and cooperation with more races and forces.

Through their efforts, the temple gradually became more powerful and prosperous.

Meanwhile, Lia was constantly trying to stabilize her emerald divine body.

She knew that this power was both a blessing and a curse to her, and only by truly mastering it could she truly protect herself and her loved ones.

As time went by, Lia gradually mastered the secrets of the Emerald God Body and successfully stabilized its state.

Her strength was greatly enhanced as a result, making her a highly regarded figure in the universe.

David and Leah's love also became stronger and deeper after this battle.

They knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges they might encounter in the future, as long as they stayed together, they would be able to overcome everything.

In the days to come, David and Lia will continue to protect the peace and tranquility of the temple and the universe.

After peace and tranquility were restored in the temple, David and Lia did not linger in the joy of victory for long.

They knew that the threat from the Night Council and the Shadow Eaters had not been completely eliminated, and that many unknown dangers still lurked in the depths of the universe.

In order to protect the future of the Temple and the Star-Eyed Clan, they must constantly explore and improve their strength.

One day, the Temple's scouts reported that a huge abyssal rift had been discovered in a desolate place far from the Temple.

The fissure emitted an eerie light, seemingly concealing some unknown power.

David and Leah decide to go and investigate themselves to uncover the secrets behind the rift.

As they stepped into the rift, a chilling aura swept over them, sending shivers down their spines.

From the depths of the rift came a low, seductive song, a song full of allure and mystery, seemingly able to penetrate the soul and stir up the deepest desires within.

David and Leah held each other's hands tightly. They knew that they had to stay clear-headed and vigilant at this moment and not be misled by this unknown force.

However, just as they were preparing to venture deeper into the crevice, a familiar voice suddenly rang in their ears.

"David...Lia...save me..."

The voice was so clear, so real, as if it were whispering right next to my ear.

David and Leah exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

That voice was clearly that of their fallen comrade, Arya!

"Arya? Is that you?" Lia couldn't help but call out.

However, the only response they received was that low and eerie singing.

Just then, Lia suddenly felt a powerful force surging out from the crack and into her body.

Her jade divine body seemed to be activated, and began to automatically absorb this energy.

David watched Leah nervously, fearing that she might get hurt.

However, Lia closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if communicating with this power in some way.

A moment later, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a blurry figure appeared behind her—it was Arya!
“Lia, this is…” David asked in surprise.

Lia turned to look at David, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

“David, the Emerald Body… possesses the property of ‘Resurrection of the Dead.’ It… can sense the soul fluctuations of the dead, and may even… bring them back from the dead.”

Upon hearing this, David felt an indescribable shock.

If this is true, then is it possible for Arya to be resurrected? However, he also knows that there must be huge risks and unknowns hidden behind this.

“Lia, we must proceed with caution,” David said in a deep voice. “This power is too strange; we cannot attempt to exploit it lightly.”

Lia nodded; she understood this as well.

However, she felt guilty and longing for Arya.

If possible, she really wanted to see Arya again, even if only for a brief moment.

“Let’s continue exploring this rift,” David suggested. “Perhaps we can find more clues about this force.”

So the two continued to venture deeper into the rift.

As they ventured deeper, the deep singing grew clearer, as if something was calling to them.

Their hearts raced, but their steps became even more resolute.

At the bottom of the crevice, they discovered a huge cave.

In the center of the cave, the left hand of a giant ancient god is bound by chains, emitting a faint glow.

The hand looked extremely ferocious, as if it contained endless power and evil.
