dark witches rise

The night is deep.

Moonlight as sticky as water flowed in from the half-opened shutters, shining on Claire's snow-white body.

Claire, who was wearing a white translucent tulle pajamas, lay on her back and rolled over on her side.

Can't sleep!

She has a lot on her mind.

For example, the secrets about the silver snake, the mysterious teacher Fulla of Bailu Private Academy, the problems of mother and Xiu, and many other worries.

But her insomnia had nothing to do with those things.

She was overwhelmed by an inexplicable uneasiness.

Snapped.

Turn on the lamp on the table.

Come to the window.

crunch.

Fully open the half-opened blinds, the sticky moonlight fell on her body without any hindrance, dipping into the depths of her body, being swallowed by the silver hidden in her body.

"What's going on with this moonlight?"

"Is it too sticky?"

"Is there too much energy in it?"

Claire looked up at the moon high in the sky.

Gazing at the eternal moon hanging in the sky, as if it is much bigger than this world.

Under the dazzling moonlight, the whole city can be described as night like day.

It’s not like there are nights with a good moonlight, but——

Claire clutched her chest.

puff - puff - puff -

Her heart was beating fast with anxiety.

Compared to her nervous body and spirit, the silver snake deep in her body seemed extremely excited.

"...I seem to remember..."

Claire recalled what she learned in the occult class in the first grade.

What she thought was meaningless was the key to answering her inner doubts.

"what exactly is it?"

"I remember it as if..."

Thinking about it, Claire clapped her hands.

"Sunday!"

"Today is the lunar day once every 3000 years in myths and legends!"

"It is rumored that on this day, the world will usher in a huge change!"

"The Blood Moon Sect, who was causing trouble in the city not long ago, seems to have mentioned Moon Day, saying that this day is the day when the moon god Sami cleanses the sins of the world..."

"How could I forget such an important thing?"

The previous Claire didn't believe in these weird myths and legends.

But after she obtained the mysterious silver snake power, she had to admit that there were extraordinary powers in this world that ordinary people could not understand.

After thinking of the word "Moon Sunday", her heart beat even faster.

puff - puff - puff -

Facing the heart that seemed to be jumping out of her chest, Claire bit her lip.

"What about Sundays?"

"So what if something actually happened?"

"What can I do?"

"I'm just an ordinary girl who accidentally got a little bit of power."

"I can't stop the coming of Lunar Day, I can't stop the disaster that may come, I can't..."

"build?"

She got the power of the silver snake, even if there is a disaster, there should be no problem with self-protection.

By the way, it is probably possible to protect the mother around me.

But what about the people who weren't around her?
"I finally want to have another family member. I absolutely can't..."

Claire quickly took off her pajamas and changed into her regular clothes, and was about to go out with the long cross sword.

click!
There was a crisp cracking sound suddenly.

It was a sound like breaking glass.

It's just that the sound came from the moon?
At the moment when the broken sound sounded, all the awake people couldn't help but look up at the moon, and all the sleeping people were awakened.

There was a crack in the moon!
Seeing this scene, almost everyone was dumbfounded.

"how is this possible?"

"Am I dazzled?"

"Cracked the moon?"

Reality gave them a merciless slap.

Click!Click!Click! ——

Cracks emerged as quickly as thousands of centipedes quickly climbing on the moon.

In just a few seconds, the moon has already been covered with countless cracks.

Looking at the cracked moon like a glass ball about to break, the hearts of everyone watching this scene seemed to be tightly held.

"Shouldn't it be?"

"Could it be that the moon wants it?"

"I must be dreaming!"

Even Claire, who possesses extraordinary powers like the power of the silver snake, couldn't accept what was happening in front of her for a while, and felt that she was dreaming.

However, they were not given time to accept at all.

in the next instant.

Boom——

The moon is broken!

The moon that hangs high in the sky, shining on the world for an unknown number of years, is actually shattered!
The broken moon turned into countless large and small fragments and scattered towards the earth like a meteor shower.

Faced with this scene that completely surpassed common sense, everyone had different ideas.

There is a dull face and a blank mind.

Some slapped themselves wildly, thinking that they were dreaming.

Some laughed and shouted that God's punishment would come.

There is a gloomy face, which has been expected.

What happens in reality is not diverted by people's ideas.

In the face of the collapse of the moon, no matter what thoughts the world holds in their hearts, there will be no change.

Boom!Boom!Boom! ——

Large and small pieces of the moon turned into countless meteorite rains and fell on the ground, and the silent night suddenly became noisy.

People's screams, exclamations, roars... Countless sounds were mixed together, but they were all covered by the sound of moon fragments falling to the ground.

The only good news is that the meteorite and the damage caused by it were unexpectedly small.

Claire even saw huge fragments of the moon tens of kilometers high. If such a large fragment fell down, it should be a disaster to destroy the world.

However, it does not.

Just broken windows, broken trees, cracked ground...

Not even a lot of people died.

After a few minutes.

Finally, all the pieces fell to the ground.

Claire stared blankly at the night sky, looking at the moon that was so small that it looked like an egg with only the yolk left.

A blood-red moon!
The lunar energy flowing from that blood-red moon is hundreds of times greater than before!
Claire stared blankly at Blood Moon, and because she was so shocked, she forgot everything for a moment, and her mind was blank.

While she was in a daze, there was a sudden knock on the door, which made the whole room tremble.

Accompanied by the hasty knock on the door, there was also an anxious cry from her mother.

Claire's body trembled, and she finally recovered.

But when she was thinking about opening the door for her mother and telling her mother that she was safe.

Click!

Boom——

The wooden door was smashed all of a sudden!

Although the wooden door of their house is not particularly strong, but how could her weak mother smash it?

Both of them were stunned for a moment because of this incident.

But Aunt Remi quickly put aside such insignificant things, she rushed towards Claire, hugged Claire tightly, and asked nervously, "Clear, are you okay?"

After carefully examining Claire's body, Aunt Remi was relieved.

"That's great, it's good if nothing happens..." Aunt Remi looked at the blood moon in the sky that was much smaller than the original moon, "It's actually happening that the moon will shatter. What's going on in this world?"

Aunt Remi is just an ordinary housewife.

Even if such unreasonable things as the moon shattered happen before her eyes, as long as she has nothing to do with the woman...

"build?"

Aunt Remy suddenly reacted.

In addition to her daughter Claire, her heart has recently gained another person.

Both mother and daughter reacted now.

Unlike Aunt Remi who only cares about her family, Claire thinks about many things, but ensuring the safety of her most important person is Claire's first thought.

"Mom, hide it at home... Let's go find it and repair it together!"

Claire wanted to keep her mother hidden and went to find someone by herself. Thinking of her own strength, wouldn't it be safer for her mother to stay by her side than to hide at home?

She patted her cheek, took a few deep breaths, and after calming herself down, she took the cross sword and took her mother out of their residence.

As soon as she stepped out of the house, her body froze.

On the streets of Hushu Street, there are pieces of moon fragments of different sizes, the small ones are two meters high, and the large ones are more than ten meters high.

These fragments are more like artificially carved stones than irregular meteorite fragments.

Not only is the style uniform, but there are also delicate textures that are not easy to notice at first glance, but look closely.

Those meteorite blocks absorbed the moonlight, and the lines on the meteorite blocks emitted a light similar to moonlight.

Large meteorite blocks may need to be recharged more, and the light emitted randomly is relatively dim.

The smaller pieces of meteorites will soon be full of moon energy, and the water-like moon energy flows in the lines, emitting a dazzling light.

Looking at the meteorite block that seemed to explode in the next second...

"Claire, what's wrong?"

"Mom, step back a bit."

Claire slowly drew her sword, staring at the meteorites emitting dazzling brilliance, her face extremely solemn.

Ha - ho -

She adjusted her breathing.

A long silver snake that only she could see emerged from her body, the silver snake wrapped around her body and swam around her.

Under the icy breath from the silver snake, Claire's excited mood suddenly calmed down, and all distracting thoughts in her heart were swept away.

Today's Claire is like an eminent monk who has settled down, and the mountain has not changed from before.

When the light of the small meteorites shines to the extreme.

ooh ooh-

They turned from meteorites into ferocious wolves!

They were two-meter-tall wolves with snow-white hair, a curved moon mark on their foreheads, and a holy aura.

One of the seven guardian beasts of the moon god Sami
—— Greedy wolf?
The guardian animal transformed from the meteorite that fell from the moon, is this the will of the moon god Sami?

Claire stared at the wolves without moving.

Judging from the holy aura emanating from those wolves, they don't look like fierce beasts at all, but give people the feeling that they are here to protect the world.

Could it be that these wolves are not enemies?
They are the messengers sent by the moon god Sami, to deal with the rising dark forces in the world and protect human beings?

Seeing the sharp claws and fangs rushing towards her, Claire was filled with regret.

Whether it is a murderer or a beast.

Whether it is the messenger of the dark power or the messenger sent by the moon god Sami.

Since she just showed her fangs and wanted to hurt her relatives, then...

"die!"

With the help of the silver snake, Claire gained the emotion to remain calm in the face of any situation, and the power to see through the enemy's flaws.

The ferocious wolf in front of him is very strong, with a speed of more than [-] per hour and a force of more than [-] kilograms.

But not as good as her!
Her speed is faster, her strength is stronger, and her skills are more powerful!

Facing the wolf's attack, Claire didn't retreat but moved closer.

She was short and approached instantly.

The long cross sword in his hand resounded, piercing through the wolf's jaw and piercing through the wolf's head.

draw sword.

Retreat.

Step back to your mother.

Boom!
The dead ferocious wolf fell to the ground at this moment, its body turned into moonlight and dissipated, leaving a fingernail-sized stone on the ground.

"Claire, you..." Aunt Remi looked at her daughter in surprise. That terrifying monster was killed by her daughter with a sword?

She knew that her daughter was very good at fighting, and she had started to learn swordsmanship in recent months, but she never thought that she would be so powerful.

Even compared to the martial arts masters in the martial arts competition, they are not inferior, right?
"Mom, let's go!" Claire held her mother in one hand and walked forward.

Aunt Remi looked at the howling wolves around her, nodded and followed behind her daughter.

Even the moon shattered.

The meteorite turned into a monster.

So what if the daughter is stronger?
Now is not the time to think about that.

Find Xiu as soon as possible, protect Xiu, and wait for it to be safe afterwards before slowly asking for clarification.

The mother and daughter walked quickly towards the poor apartment on Hushu Street.

Along the way, I saw pieces of meteorites of the moon standing on the ground, and saw wolves transformed into meteorites of the moon.

And heard the screams of people, and saw people being bitten by ferocious wolves.

The sense of justice in Claire's heart vibrated.

How much she wanted to save those poor people from the mouth of the wolf.

but--

"Make sure Xiu is safe first!"

Claire has a sense of justice, but she is not pedantic.

After ensuring the safety of your important family and friends, it is not too late to help others when you have spare time.

"Go away!"

"Death to me!"

Claire swung the sharp sword in her hand and hacked to death the oncoming beasts one after another.

The distance that usually takes more than ten minutes to complete, under the anxious sprint, even with the wolves blocking the way, it was still crossed in a few minutes.

"build--"

"Hear that? Answer me!"

"build--"

Claire shouted Xiu's name while hurrying.

Finally, when she was tens of meters away from the poor apartment, she saw the person she was looking for.

Seeing that the other party was still alive and kicking around, she breathed a sigh of relief.

After seeing the other party's situation clearly, her heart suddenly tugged.

Fix being besieged by several wolves!
Those ferocious wolves that can run at a speed of hundreds of hours, burst out with a force of tens of thousands of kilograms, and can easily drive unparalleled in the crowd, are besieging that emaciated scavenger orphan?
A child as thin as Xiu would be torn into pieces in an instant, right?
At those moments, Claire was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out, and even the power brought by the power of the silver snake could hardly suppress her excitement.

She managed to calm down.

But the people around her couldn't do it.

"Do not--"

Aunt Remi screamed and rushed forward desperately.

Claire moved her hand and grabbed the impulsive mother, "Don't worry, he's fine!"

Xiu, who thought that he would be torn into pieces just by meeting him, was actually fighting with several ferocious wolves.

Despite the fear on his face, his pale face, and his body trembling with fear, he was indeed fighting.

Stretch out strands of spider silk condensed by moonlight from the fingertips, fighting with the fierce wolf.

Cultivate the physique of a skinny little boy, when did he become so strong?He actually has the ability to create and manipulate spider silk?
Thoughts collided quickly in Claire's mind.

She thought of the strange strength of her mother who was able to smash the wooden door with bare hands, and thought of the people with extraordinary strength that she met along the way...

Moonlight can enhance physical fitness?

Before she could figure out the answer, she had already arrived in front of Xiu, stabbing repeatedly with the long sword in her hand, killing several ferocious wolves in an instant.

She looked back and saw her mother was holding Xiu and crying.

"Xiu, uh-"

……

Roja looked up at the mother and daughter beside her.

The lunar day comes, the moon shatters, and the moon beast descends.

He originally planned to feign death and find a place to hide and practice slowly until he passed the third magic machine test.

It's just that he didn't expect to hear someone calling him from a long distance away.

Aren't the people who called him Claire and Aunt Remy who got along well recently?
Claire and Aunt Remi, the mother and daughter, took good care of him a lot, and Aunt Remi even spoiled him like a sweetheart.

After thinking about it, he changed his strategy of action.

Aunt Remy's soft body hugged her tightly.

I don't know if it's because of making desserts all the year round, but Aunt Remy has a very pleasant sweet smell that makes people want to bite her snow-white skin.

"Xiaoxiu, are you okay?" Aunt Remi, who looked like a beautiful young woman in her early 30s, nervously checked Roja's body with tears in her eyes.

"fine."

Roja stroked Aunt Remi's smooth face and comforted her.

After letting Auntie Remy calm down.

Roja looked at Claire.

"Xiaoxiu, you..." Claire looked at the spider silk shot out from Roja's fingertips, which seemed to be condensed by moonlight.

"I don't know. After the moon shattered, the body suddenly became stronger, and the ability like spider silk appeared... Let's talk about these things later, sister Claire, what are you going to do next?" Roja asked.

"I'm not very clear, hurry up and find a safe place to hide?" Claire's eyes fell on those who were besieged by the moon beasts, her eyes were full of unbearable.

She wants to save people, but she doesn't know exactly how to do so.

Killed the moon beast?
What about the rescued people?
Throw it aside and let them fend for themselves?

But if she wears it all the time, she can't protect so many people with her strength.

Roja could see the entanglement in Claire's heart.

After all, Claire is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and Claire has too little information, so it's normal not to know what to do next.

"Sister Claire, let's go to Hushu Elementary School!"

"The elementary school on our street?"

"There are walls and open space, and there are loudspeakers. We can use loudspeakers to make outsiders gather towards the school, or we can use loudspeakers to let residents find a hiding place."

Hushu Street has a primary school.

Whenever the elementary school bell rang, half of Hushu Street could hear the sound.

If the loudspeaker in that elementary school is turned up to the highest level, it is not impossible for everyone in Hushu Street to hear it.

After hearing Roja's suggestion, the bewildered Claire led Roja towards Hushu Primary School without even thinking about it.

Along the way, the Moon Killing Beast saved many people.

When he came to Hushu Street, he had already brought dozens of people with him.

Not long after, the sound of horns from Hushu Primary School resounded throughout Hushu Street, and the sound from the horns brought hope to everyone in panic.

Those people followed the guidance of the sound of the trumpet, and either found a safe place to hide, or rushed towards Hushu Primary School. (end of this chapter)
