The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 479 The Fall of the Wind God
"I won't go back with you."

The spirit said coldly, "I am going to find my own path."

After saying that, she turned into a red light and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

David looked in the direction the spirit had left, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He knew that this betrayal could have serious consequences for the team, but he also understood that he was powerless to change anything at the moment.

"Let's ignore her for now."

David took a deep breath and said, "Let's bring the Wind God back to the Faith Network first."

So, led by David, the team members carefully took away the Wind God's Grid and hurriedly left the Valley of Wind Elementals.

However, what they didn't know was that this life-or-death struggle had only just begun, and even more severe challenges awaited them.
Outside the Valley of Wind Elements, the sky remained overcast with dark clouds and thunder rumbled.

The team members embarked on their journey home with Feng Shenge, each of them filled with heaviness and unease.

David's left arm had completely ignited and lost all feeling, but he still endured the pain and walked at the front.

"David, are you really alright?"

Anne asked with concern.

She looked at David's hard left arm, her eyes filled with heartache and worry.

David forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I've just temporarily lost consciousness; it won't affect our mission."

However, Anne knew that David was just trying to comfort her.

She knew all too well how serious the consequences of the conflict between the Rainbow Core fragments and the Wind Godhead were, and she understood that David was currently enduring immense pain.

"David, you must be careful."

Anne whispered, "We all need you."

David nodded and didn't say anything more.

He knew that the most important thing at this moment was to bring the Wind God back to the faith network as soon as possible to stabilize the fluctuations of faith power.

Everything else can wait until we get back to deal with it.

Under David's leadership, the team members finally emerged from the Valley of Wind Elements.

However, just as they stepped out of the valley, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly came from afar.

Immediately afterwards, a black figure attacked them like lightning.

"careful!"

David shouted.

He swiftly swung his staff, and a beam of light shot out, colliding with the black figure.

The black figure was forced back a few steps by the light, revealing a wizard draped in black robes with a cold expression.

He was one of the pursuers sent by the Eternal Night Council.

"Hmph, do you think you can take away the Wind God so easily?"

The black-robed wizard sneered, "Today is your death day!"

After saying that, he waved his staff again and unleashed a powerful dark spell.

The team members unleashed their respective defensive and offensive spells, engaging in a fierce battle with the black-robed wizard.

However, the black-robed wizard was extremely powerful. His dark magic enveloped the entire sky like dark clouds, making the team members feel extremely oppressed and suffocated.

Although David was giving his all to command the battle, the petrification of his left arm prevented him from unleashing his full power.

The battle lasted a long time, and the team members gradually felt overwhelmed.

They knew this couldn't go on, and they had to come up with a plan as soon as possible to turn the tide of the war.

Just then, Anne suddenly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

The mysterious and solemn expression returned to her face, as if she were establishing a connection with some powerful force.

"Wind elemental spirit, heed my call once more!"

Anne shouted.

Her voice echoed in the gale, carrying an irresistible majesty.

However, this time no wind elemental spirit responded to her call.

Anne's expression changed slightly; she clearly hadn't expected this to happen.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, the black-robed wizard laughed smugly, "Your wind elementals are now under my control; don't expect any help from them!"

The team members were shocked to hear this; they hadn't expected the black-robed wizard to have such methods.

However, they had no time to think about it anymore.

They must come up with a solution as soon as possible to deal with the current crisis.

Just then, David suddenly remembered something.

He suddenly raised his head to look at the sky, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Listen to me, everyone!"

David shouted, "I have a plan that can turn the tide of the battle!"

The team members all looked at David, waiting for his instructions.

David took a deep breath and said, "We need to use the power of the Wind God to fight back!"

After saying that, he raised the Wind God's Token high in his hand.

A powerful storm erupted from the Wind God's core, sweeping across the entire sky.

The black-robed wizard's expression changed slightly; he clearly hadn't expected David to have such a method.

"Quickly! channel your power into the Wind God Core!"

David commanded loudly.

Upon hearing this, the team members unleashed their respective powers, injecting beams of light into the Wind God Grid.

With the team members contributing their power, the power of the wind god grew stronger and stronger.

The storm raged across the sky like a giant dragon, tearing the black-robed wizard's dark magic to shreds.

The black-robed wizard watched in horror as he tried to unleash more powerful spells to ward off the storm, but it was all in vain.

Finally, through the combined efforts of David and his team, the storm completely destroyed the black-robed wizard's protective shield, sending him flying.

The black-robed wizard let out a shrill scream in the air before vanishing without a trace.

After the battle, the team members collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

They knew that their victory was entirely due to David's brilliant leadership and the teamwork of their members.

However, they also knew that this victory was only temporary and that even greater challenges awaited them.
David looked at the Wind God Token in his hand, his heart filled with emotion.

He knew that the process of seizing the Wind God's essence was fraught with hardship and danger, but they ultimately succeeded.

He carefully put away the Wind God Token, then stood up and said to his team members, "Let's go. We still have a lot to do when we get back."

The Ancient Gods Cemetery, a forgotten corner, hides a secret passage leading to the "Memory Corridor".

This is where the ancient gods stored their memories and power, and it is also David's only hope for repairing the rift in his divinity.

Led by David, the team members ventured into this mysterious and dangerous region.

Inside the cemetery, ancient trees reach for the sky, and tombstones stand in rows, each seemingly bearing the weight of a heavy history.

An ancient and mysterious aura permeated the air, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

David gripped the Wind Godhead tightly, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination, as if he could already see himself repaired after the cracks in the godhead were healed. "Everyone, be careful. Unknown dangers may be lurking here."

David whispered his instructions, his voice echoing clearly in the silent cemetery.

The team members nodded in agreement, gripping their weapons and staffs tightly and cautiously scanning their surroundings.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, carrying away fallen leaves.

The fallen leaves danced in the air before slowly settling to the ground, as if paving a path for their arrival.

David led his team along the path paved with fallen leaves, and soon they came to a huge stone gate.

The stone gate is carved with intricate runes and patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

"This is the entrance to the corridor of memories."

David pointed to the stone door and said, "We must find a way to open it."

The team members gathered around, carefully examining the runes and patterns on the stone gate.

After some research, they finally found the mechanism to open the stone door.

As the mechanism was activated, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading underground.

The team members followed the passage deeper underground and soon arrived at a spacious hall.

The walls of the hall are inlaid with glowing crystals, illuminating the entire space.

A huge sphere of light floats in the center of the hall, constantly flashing various images and scenes, like a giant memory bank.

"This is the corridor of memories."

David looked at the orb of light and said, "We need to find a way to repair the cracks in my divinity here."

After saying that, he led his team members closer to the sphere of light and began to carefully observe the images and scenes inside.

However, just as they were immersed in recalling their memories, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred.

Anne suddenly felt a sharp headache, and unfamiliar images flashed before her eyes.

In the scene, David is talking to a mysterious woman whose face bears a striking resemblance to hers.

What shocked her even more was that she could tell from their conversation that David seemed to be using the woman to achieve some kind of goal.

“No! That’s impossible!”

Anne clutched her head in anguish and cried out, "David, why did you do this?"

David was taken aback; he had no idea what Annie was talking about.

He quickly went to Anne's side and asked with concern, "Anne, what's wrong? What did you see?"

However, Anne was completely absorbed in her own emotions and couldn't pull herself out of it.

Her eyes were filled with anger and disappointment as she looked at David, as if she had already regarded him as a stranger.

"David, I've always considered you the person I trust most."

Anne said in a trembling voice, "I never imagined you'd been using me all along!"

After saying that, she pushed David away abruptly and ran into the depths of the corridor of memories.

David wanted to chase after him to explain, but he was stopped by the other team members.

"David, don't rush."

Lena advised, "Annie might have just misunderstood something. Let's go find her first."

David nodded helplessly, knowing that chasing after them would only make things worse.

So he led his team to search for Anne's whereabouts in the corridor of memories.

However, what they didn't know was that shortly after Annie left, members of the Eternal Night Council took the opportunity to infiltrate the Memory Corridor.

They implanted "false memories" in Anne's mind, making her believe that she was truly a tool and puppet used by David.

When David and his team finally found Annie, she was completely under the control of "false memories".

Her eyes turned cold and unfamiliar, as if she no longer recognized them.

"Annie, wake up!"

David shouted, "I am David! You are not my puppet!"

However, Anne seemed not to hear him at all.

She suddenly swung her arm, and a powerful force surged from the earth's veins, instantly trapping David and his team members in place.

"Hahaha! David, you didn't expect that, did you?"

A chilling voice suddenly echoed in the hall, "This is the consequence of your betrayal of the Eternal Night Council!"

As the voice faded, a figure draped in a black robe and with a ferocious expression slowly emerged from the shadows.

He was one of the Abyss Apostles of the Eternal Night Council, a powerful dark wizard.

"An Apostle of the Abyss!"

David gritted his teeth and said, "You actually dared to sneak into the Memory Corridor!"

The Apostle of the Abyss sneered, "David, do you think you can escape the control of the Council of Eternal Night? Today is your death day!"

After saying that, he waved his staff and began to cast powerful dark magic.

Beams of black light shot out from the staff, heading straight for David and his team members.

David and his team fought hard to fend off the Apostles of the Abyss, but they were trapped by the power of the ley lines and unable to unleash their full strength.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly critical, David knew he had to come up with a solution as soon as possible to break the deadlock.

Just then, he suddenly thought of a solution.

He suddenly bit his finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto the Wind God's Shield.

As the blood dripped, the Wind God's Grid instantly burst forth with dazzling light, and a powerful force surged from it.

"Annie! Wake up!"

David shouted, "Don't let false memories control you!"

However, Anne had completely lost her mind at this moment.

She manipulated the power of the earth's veins to relentlessly attack David and his team members, as if she wanted to annihilate them all.

David looked at Anne's pained and contorted expression, his heart filled with helplessness and anguish.

He knew that only extreme measures could awaken Annie at this moment.

So he took a deep breath and made a difficult decision.

"I'm so sorry, Annie!"

David said in a low voice, then suddenly waved his staff, drawing out the divine fire from the Wind God's core.

A blazing flame shot out from his fingertips and headed straight for Annie's soul.

Anne let out a piercing scream and then collapsed to the ground.

Her eyes became empty and lost, as if she had lost all consciousness.

David felt guilty and pained looking at Anne's pained expression, but he knew it was a sacrifice he had to make to save her.

The Apostle of the Abyss sneered, "David, do you think you can save her like this? How naive!"

After saying that, he waved his staff again, preparing to launch an even more ferocious attack.

However, at that moment, a powerful force suddenly erupted from Annie's body, instantly shattering the Apostle's attack.
