Moon Witch, embark on the journey!

Swish!

The armored undead rushed forward and swung the machete at the silver-haired girl who was much smaller than it.

Luna held the sword in both hands and blocked it with one sword.

Ping!

The weapons collided again, making a dull sound.

This time, the long sword, which was burning with flames like lava, melted a clear cut on the blade after a moment of stalemate with the opponent, and the cut continued to expand.

Seeing that the weapon was about to be burned in two, the armored undead quickly put it away and retreated.

"hehe."

Luna took a step forward and slashed at the opponent with her flaming sword.

After just a few contacts, several red burning marks appeared on the opponent's weapons and armor, making it difficult to resist the attack.

But soon, this armored undead seemed to have found a way to deal with it. A cold and dark aura rose from its body and gathered on the weapon in its hand, and it continued to swing the sword.

Click.

It was about to launch an attack, but suddenly its body froze and it watched as Luna slashed it with the flaming sword.

The scarlet sword slashed down, melting through the armor on the undead's body, and then cut open the skeletal body underneath.

"You really think I want to play close combat with you."

The entire lower body of the armored undead was completely frozen by a large ball of ice mist. He was unable to move for a while and could only watch Luna swing her sword.

Swish!Swish!

He swung the sword a few more times, and the burning blade drew bright marks in the dark mist, dismembering the armored undead in a few strokes.

"He's about mid to late stage of elementalization, but he's still a little too stupid."

Luna looked at the ashes on the ground and commented calmly. Although she was a little shocked at first, with her strength, it was actually not difficult to deal with.

Boom!Boom!

From the ancient city ruins in the rear, the sounds of the undead moving could be heard again.

"Is the noise a bit loud?"

No matter how many times they kill here, it is useless. Luna turns on the bait mode again and leads the undead to the outside of the black fog.

This time, two undead in heavy armor were chasing after them.

As soon as Luna came out of the fog, she ran away.

Not long after, there was a slight movement at the edge of the black fog, and the two fully armored undead chased out.

boom!

A huge ball of fire fell from the sky, enveloping the two undead souls, and soon turned them into ashes.

In the second-level wizard formation, these undead were no different from the previous ones. If you had to say anything, they just held on a little longer.

Elvina came to Luna and asked:

"How about it?"

"Clear them up quickly. There shouldn't be many strong Undead soldiers like this."

Luna was almost entering the city, and only this kind of stuff came out. It seems that there are still not many undead who have truly reached the second level in the ruins.

After several trips back and forth, Luna wandered around the city gate for a long time but nothing caught up with her.

"Done. Almost all the surrounding undead have been eliminated."

"It's finally over..."

Elvina, who had been waiting for a long time, took a deep breath, showed a strong look of anticipation, and murmured:

"I've been waiting for this for a long time."

"Yes, me too."

Every time Luna arrived at the city gate, she could sense the attraction from afar, and she could no longer hold back. The real exploration had only just begun.

The outer witch formation was still kept as their support. Under Kurt's leadership, they began to go deeper into the fog, this time they were really going to explore the city.

The three disappeared into the mist shortly afterwards.

A robed figure came here and took a deep look at the three tents outside, the traces of campfires and the witch formation.

"...already in?"

187.Leave a message

In the outermost area of ​​the ancient city ruins, the undead have been completely wiped out.

After entering the ruined city gate, the dilapidated streets were empty and extremely silent. Apart from the sound of their light footsteps, there was no movement at all.

Elvina looked around, with an expression that could not be concealed. She suppressed her voice:

"Hopefully we'll find something in there."

In fact, Luna and the others have not gained anything so far. The precious potions and the loss of the magic array are all expenses.

It seems that the undead have some precious armor and weapons on them, but in fact, nothing can be left after billions of years. Those are things condensed from the undead energy according to their habits in their previous lives.

The surrounding streets were also like this, with only some of the houses built with huge stones still in ruins. The original daily necessities, furniture, food, etc. had long since turned to dust.

“There are also traces of running water here.”

Luna looked at the ground and saw obvious traces of being washed away by a torrent, which were everywhere within her field of vision.

"We estimate that it is because of the coming of the Shadow Lake tributary that the original residents of these cities were able to reincarnate as undead and survive. I wonder if you have heard of... the Lord of the Styx?"

Luna was stunned. It seemed that Elvina really knew a lot. Most wizards in the Dark Ring only knew about the Shadow Lake and didn't know about the Styx.

She had also seen the ruins on the Dark Cliff with her own eyes, and only after comparing them with those on the Shadow Lake could she confirm that they were the same phenomenon.

"Is the Lord of the Styx really a god?"

Great beings are not necessarily gods. At least in the eyes of most low-level wizards and mortals, legendary beings are already considered "gods".

"Yes, he is indeed a god. Moreover, he is one of the first new gods born after the ancient gods of the ancient times fell in large numbers."

Elvina gave a very positive answer. She let out a soft sigh:

"Perhaps the Lord of the Styx is also looking for the secret of the fall of the ancient gods. Perhaps we are too late, and there is no longer anything related to the Silver Moon Goddess here... However, it would be nice if we could find a clue at all."

Hearing this, Luna looked up into the depths of the city ruins.

Although the place was shrouded in black fog and nothing could be seen, she was sure that there should be some moonlight essence there.

But if you insist, the moonlight essence is just a ray of light and power from the Silver Moon Goddess, and it is difficult to find any useful information from it. The great existence of the true god level should not look down on it.

"It's better if I don't like it. I really need it..."

She muttered softly and began to search with Elvina and Kurt.

Walking along the dilapidated streets, the surrounding houses are all in a state of ruin. Many of them have almost collapsed, and the interior can be seen directly from the outside.

There was nothing inside, just some traces of decayed items and several piles of dust.

pat.

A slight sound made them alert. At a glance, they saw a lame skeleton hiding in the corner of the ruins. The soul fire was weak, and it was limping towards them.

"Try not to make too much noise and attract other undead."

After Kurt whispered instructions, he launched another mental attack. Countless fine threads of mental power extinguished the soul fire of the skeleton.

Compared to witchcraft, mental attacks are indeed much more secretive.

There was a pile of bone fragments on the ground. It was expected that it would be reborn soon. But for Luna and the others, when this guy revived, they would no longer be here.

Only the undead near the city gate must be cleared out. After all, if you need to escape, you have to make sure your way is not blocked.

On the way, we encountered several skeletons, all of which moved slowly and did not seem to pose any threat. They were not even at the first level.

"These should be the undead spirits transformed from civilians."

"Well, not everyone had a rank in ancient times. Those soldiers at least had the strength of an apprentice when they were alive."

There was nothing good in the residences of the civilians in the periphery, and after billions of years, there was nothing left. They looked at them a few times and stopped paying attention, concentrating on finding those special places.

We arrived at the first mansion that looked relatively intact.

"This kind of building style should be the residence of a wizard in ancient times. Maybe there will be something to be gained inside."

Of course, the possibility of danger is also greater.

Ordinary soldiers turning into undead are a bit troublesome. If a wizard turns into an undead after death, it will naturally be more difficult to deal with him.

After pushing open the dusty stone door, the interior of the house became even darker. Luna and the others performed their own magic tricks, and small flames floated above their heads, illuminating the surrounding scene.

"There should be no undead in the room."

Kurt seemed to have used his mental power to investigate and said something to them.

However, the three did not completely relax. They remained vigilant and explored bit by bit.

From the corridor to the inner room, the rooms were extremely empty. Even though they were once the residences of wizards, not many things could have survived the long years.

There is only one thing, which is the various stone carvings that can be seen everywhere.

All of them are female in appearance, and the statues are placed in the corridors of the house, deep in the room, and in holes carved into the walls.

The weathered stone sculptures can only be seen as female figures, and their specific appearance can no longer be seen at all. These stone sculptures that are everywhere are extremely creepy.

Elvina frowned and said uncertainly:

"…What are these?"

"It's a sculpture of the Silver Moon Goddess."

Luna answered immediately. Just like the blurred statue in the magic cave, she could still recognize the stone sculptures at a glance even though it was impossible to tell what they were carved on.

She could sense that there was some...faint longing contained in it?

The people who carved it and the people who worshiped it day and night had extremely devout beliefs. Even if they just prayed to an ordinary piece of stone, after a long time, the stone would become a statue of God. The power of this belief really existed.

"That's right. This is a city built by the Moon People. It's impossible for them to worship other gods."

Elvina accepted it quickly, and the three of them did not touch these things and continued to walk into the house.

They came to a room with many "broken limbs" scattered on the floor. It looked a bit creepy at first glance. They were all unfinished statues.

“So the owner of the house carved it himself?”

Suddenly, Elvina stepped forward and picked up a slate. There were some scribbled carvings on it, which should have been written by the original owner.

"In the 938th year of the Dark Moon Calendar, the Silver Moon Goddess has not responded to prayers for many years. Many rumors are spreading, and even some blasphemous remarks have appeared... It's all nonsense. How could the great goddess fall!"

"The royal family decided to restart the sacrificial ceremony..."

188. Lich

Elvina held the slate in her hand and muttered softly.

Luna leaned over to look, and was a little embarrassed to find that she was illiterate. She could only recognize a few words in the long passage.

Even though we are both human beings, there are still some differences between the ancient and modern common languages.

Luna could understand a few words because the basic witchcraft class involved some characters commonly used by ancient wizards.

In contrast, Elvina could read fluently. It turned out that the wizards from big families had profound knowledge.

"After years of not receiving any response from the goddess, some of the kingdom's great nobles are no longer devout in their faith, and some even want to change their faith... These heretics should be hanged and burned to death!"

Obviously, the writer considered himself to be a very devout believer.

"Restarting the ceremony is a good decision. I heard that the legendary Princess Xingluo will preside over the ceremony in the capital, and the mayors of the other twenty-seven cities will assist in the sacrifice. Millions of people across the country will pray at the same time... Such a grand event will surely win back the attention and favor of the great goddess!"

"It's a pity that I'm just a nobody and can't go to the capital to participate in the main sacrifice in person. I can't meet the legendary princess who has the strongest faith, the most outstanding talent, and the most hope of becoming a Silver Moon Blessed One..."

"On the hundredth day before the sacrificial ceremony officially begins, I will personally carve ninety-nine sculptures of the great goddess to show my piety."
