The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 479 Offensive
The Imperial Palace, covering an area of 23000 square meters, has turned into a sea of fire.

The raging flames licked the walls of the palace, gradually devouring this building that symbolizes the majesty of the Japanese imperial family.

The flames crackled and popped, as if cheering for this feast of destruction.

None of the Japanese royal family members, servants, and guards living there were spared.

Wizards cast spells to extract their souls from their bodies.

“Hehehe~~”

The dark wizards laughed strangely, their laughter full of madness and pleasure.

Today is the happiest day in their lives.

Even in Grindelwald's time, they could not use magic so recklessly and openly in front of Muggles and vent their power at will.

At this moment, they broke free from all restraints and enjoyed the pleasure of doing whatever they wanted.

"What happened?"

The emperor was carried by his attendants and stumbled quickly through the tunnel.

His feet moved hurriedly, and his shoes made a harsh sound as they rubbed against the rough ground.

His face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, and his voice was trembling violently with an expression of fear that was hard to conceal.

The tunnel was filled with a damp and decaying smell. The torches on the walls flickered, casting their distorted shadows all around, making it look particularly eerie.

"Your Majesty, it's an invader."

The attendant gasped, his voice filled with fear and anxiety.

His chest heaved violently. One hand tightly held the emperor's arm, and the other hand wiped the sweat from his forehead from time to time. He tried hard to maintain a respectful posture, but he could not suppress the trembling in his voice.

"Intruder? What a rude act."

The emperor's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, anger and shock intertwined.

He received supreme imperial education since childhood.

Even during the chaotic situation of Japan's Warring States Period, no one dared to break into the emperor's residence.

Now, this sacred and inviolable place is being trampled upon wantonly. How can he accept this?

“Who is the sinner?”

He roared hysterically, his voice echoing in the tunnel, and the sharp sound seemed to break through this oppressive space.

Faced with the emperor's questioning, the attendant trembled with fear, slowly lowered his head, and said in a voice as low as a mosquito: "It's a wizard from overseas."
His body trembled slightly, and he did not dare to look directly into the emperor's eyes.

"Damn it, where's the High Priest?"

The Emperor clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and roared angrily.

At this moment, he placed all his hopes on the high priest, hoping that he could bring a glimmer of hope and save him from this terrible crisis.

"The high priest is at the shrine."

The attendant answered cautiously, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

The high priest was far away at the shrine and could not arrive in time to protect the emperor. They could only rely on themselves at this moment.

"Asshole, the most important thing at this time is to protect me."

The emperor was so angry that his face turned red and he cursed loudly.

However, his anger and accusations seemed so powerless in this chaotic situation.

He felt that his world was collapsing, and the supreme imperial power became so fragile under the invasion of these mysterious wizards.

boom!
boom!
A violent explosion sounded from the ground, and the dull sound was like a heavy hammer, hitting the tunnel again and again.

The walls of the tunnel began to shed dust, and the stones above were crumbling.

The Emperor was so frightened by the violent tremors that he trembled all over and almost fell to the ground. The explosions were getting closer and closer, like a countdown to death, each one announcing the approach of danger.

"Quick, hurry up."

The emperor screamed in fear, quickened his pace in embarrassment, stumbled and almost fell.

The servants hurriedly supported him, and the two of them fled desperately in the dark tunnel.

Their breathing was rapid and heavy, and the sound of their footsteps echoed in the tunnel, as if echoing their panicked heartbeats.

At the same time, Lucius Malfoy and several powerful dark wizards had arrived at the door of the escape passage.

He exchanged glances with the dark wizard beside him.

They stood still, muttering something, and slowly turning their wands in their hands.

As the spell is recited.

Only a series of creaking sounds were heard, and the door slowly opened. The sound of metal friction was particularly harsh in the silent space.

"My Lord has commanded that this world does not need an emperor."

Lucius' voice was cold and firm, as if he was reading a death sentence.

His voice echoed in the passage with an unquestionable majesty.

The dark wizards turned into black smoke and rushed towards the passage.

In Japan, the wizard community has long been hidden in the religious system of society. Most of them serve as priests in shrines or abbots in temples, using their magical powers to maintain the mysterious atmosphere of religious places.

At the same time, he is also secretly guarding the secret order of the Japanese magic world.

However, today all the shrines and temples in Tokyo were not spared and suffered unprecedented fierce attacks.

The Yasukuni Shrine, a building that carries the evil history of Japanese militarism, is undoubtedly an excellent target in Weiss's eyes.

It is like a cancer that exudes a rotten smell and must be destroyed.

The leading wizard stood above the shrine, surrounded by a black magical halo that rolled and jumped like a burning dark flame.

He slowly waved the wand in his hand, and a strong black light instantly burst out from the tip of the wand. The light quickly expanded and condensed into a huge black flame.

This ball of black flame seemed to have life, like a ferocious beast, pouncing towards the Yasukuni Shrine with its fangs and claws bared.

Wherever it went, the air was instantly ignited, making crackling sounds, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorted by this terrifying high temperature.

In an instant, the Yasukuni Shrine was engulfed in flames.

The wooden structure of the shrine quickly caught fire under the high temperature, making crackling sounds, as if it was the death cry of this sinful building.

The flames licked every corner of the shrine, turning the plaques and statues that carried militarist ideas into ashes.

The priests in the shrine were terrified by this sudden change. They opened their eyes wide, their faces filled with fear and despair, and fled frantically.

However, how could the wizards let them go so easily?

Magic curses followed like shadows, shooting out from the tips of the wizards' wands, carrying the breath of death, and accurately knocking down the priests one by one.

Some priests, after being struck by the curse, became instantly stiff, their faces still showing expressions of terror, and they fell straight to the ground;

Some priests were enveloped in black smoke, screaming in pain in the smoke, and soon became silent.

The high priest was not spared either. He tried his best to cast magic and tried to resist the attacks of the wizards, but his resistance seemed so insignificant.

Eventually, his soul was extracted by wizards.

The high priest's soul twisted and struggled in pain in mid-air, letting out shrill screams, which seemed to be an accusation of his unwillingness to accept his own fate.

But all this was of no avail. With a flash of black light, his soul gradually dissipated, leaving only the dead silent Yasukuni Shrine, which slowly turned into ruins in the raging fire.
