Moon Witch, embark on the journey!

The lich head kept talking and seemed to be trapped in the endless darkness.

"It's funny, as the most powerful undead, I haven't felt the fear of mental decline. I still have awe for the goddess, so I agreed to them on the surface, but secretly rebuilt this space underground."

"Perhaps I was still fantasizing that one day the goddess would reappear on earth and forgive my mistakes."

"I don't know how many tens of thousands of years have passed. Most of the residents in the city have completely lost all their emotions and wisdom. Only a few second-level undead still have reason."

"The situation cannot get any worse. I finally made up my mind to have all the undead who still have their sanity capture any monsters and humans who stray into the city, and begin a blood sacrifice to the great Lord of the Styx."

"I almost forgot my former identity and beliefs, and completely regarded myself as a natural-born lich."

"Until one day—"

Flivira and Luna had already entered the deepest part of the temple, where a ball of silver-white light was shining.

Rimur's voice suddenly became extremely crazy:

"The goddess actually responded! After who knows how many years! She actually gave me this ball of moonlight!"

Luna looked at the essence of the moonlight, then turned to look at the lich.

"He should have been dead for many years! There is no believer in this city anymore! Even I forgot there was such a place. But...it responded again!"

The lich's cold voice trembled at this moment, as if he was crying:

“After so many years! When I discovered it, I was terrified. I thought it was His punishment for us—but I didn’t find any anger or murderous intent in it.”

"It is simply the light of blessing and protection."

199. End and Legacy

After saying this, the Lich City Lord seemed to have stabilized a lot, and continued calmly:

"If this ball of moonlight could have arrived earlier, nothing would have happened in this city. Unfortunately, my subordinate brothers have gradually lost their minds over the long years, and the one in the best condition is the priest whom I hated the most in my lifetime."

"Even if it's just to let them talk to me occasionally. I don't know how many tens of thousands of years ago, I started sacrificing the lives of the monsters and humans who kept straying into the city to the Lord of the Styx... It's too late to regret everything now."

"I can only seal everything underground forever. Princess, your strength and persistence in your faith are admirable. The rumors that you blasphemed the gods were ridiculous. The failure of the festival was not your fault."

Hey?

Although it was a bit inappropriate, Luna only realized then that the skeleton lady in front of her was the princess of the kingdom mentioned in the believer's records?

"But the power of time makes people despair. Not everyone can persist from beginning to end. I don't regret abandoning my faith."

"Your Highness, I am not admitting my mistake to you. The secret of this underground place was only revealed for this Blessed One."

Flivera, who had been silent for a long time, finally responded:

"A mistake is a mistake, there is no doubt about that... But I can understand your choice."

call out--

At this moment, the lich's head suddenly broke free from control and flew towards Luna.

Luna's blue eyes widened slightly, and she subconsciously condensed the Moonlight Sword and thrust it forward, hitting the lich's head right between the eyebrows.

The lich pierced by the Moonlight Sword let out a piercing laugh:

"Your Highness, I did not die at your hands! Instead, I died in the moonlight power of the goddess's followers... This is the way to die that suits my fate!"

His eyes were still fixed on Miss Skeleton:

"I curse you - and bless you! I hope you can get your own liberation one day!"

This high-ranking lich who had lived for a long time had come to an end. His head slowly disintegrated under the power of the moonlight, and soon it broke apart inch by inch, turning into dust and dissipating.

"..."

Luna and Miss Skeleton were left staring at each other in silence for a long time in the underground temple.

After a long time, a sigh echoed in the silent space.

"It's really enviable to be able to die like this."

Luna calmly released the Moonlight Sword, fearing that the skeleton lady would be killed by her sword without a second thought.

The skeleton girl shook her head again and looked at Luna:

"I have sunk much deeper into the Styx than any of them. I know without even trying that your current power cannot completely purify me."

pat.

A fist-sized mass of cloudy crystal-like substance fell to the ground.

Miss Skeleton picked it up and placed it next to the statue. She explained:

"This is a crystal formed by the combination of the remnants of the soul and the death energy of the dead. It is the last mark he left in the world... Let him stay here and accompany this temple he built forever."

She pointed to the depths of the temple:

"Go ahead and collect that ball of moonlight essence. I don't have much time left."

To be honest, Luna didn't have as many feelings as them. She had been looking forward to it for a long time. She walked forward and came to the temple in the deepest part.

The moment her hands touched the moonlight, the pure and powerful force made her heart beat fast. Luna turned around and asked:

"Can I just use it?"

"Use it however you want. Just think of it as a legacy from Rimur."

It is impossible to actually make the Silver Moon Potion now, so it is best to use it directly.

And Elvina seemed to want this thing too. If I took it back, it would be a bit embarrassing if she found out. Luna didn't want to test her.

After she decided to refine it, the moonlight merged into her mental power at a rapid speed and began to transform continuously.

The improvement of Moonlight Essence is indeed faster, more convenient and even more comfortable than any other secret treasure.

Luna's mental power had already reached about 70% of the elemental progress in the previous several upgrades, and now it was soaring again.

She was filled with moonlight, and her mental strength was constantly transforming.

The Skeleton Lady at the side looked at her, then looked at the nearby temple and statues, and stood there blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a very short while, the moonlight in Luna's hand had completely disappeared.

"All right!"

She checked with great joy and found that the progress of the elementalization of her mental power had exceeded ninety-five, and it was only a little bit away from being completely complete.

At this level, it is not an exaggeration to call him a top official wizard.

This time Luna didn't save any of it, and used it all for the elemental transformation. But it would be more difficult to improve it later. Even though this time was not less than the last time, it was still a little bit worse.

She estimated to herself:

"If that's all, I'll probably need to meditate for another year or two."

She thought that more than ten or twenty years of hard training was too slow, but if it was only one or two years, she could still stick with it. Luna's strength had improved too fast recently. In just one or two years, she had completed the meditation training that other formal wizards would have taken dozens or hundreds of years to complete.

It's time to calm down.

"Leave quickly."

Ms. Skeleton's words interrupted Luna's thoughts. She said hurriedly:

"It's been a while, I have to go back immediately."

She took Luna, who was still immersed in the rapidly improving excitement, out of the underground space.

The two of them soon arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion.

Originally, because of the destruction of the formation, the huge black fog vortex and the black rain in the sky had dissipated. But at this time, although it was not as exaggerated as before, Luna felt the density of the surrounding black fog increase again.

Miss Skeleton said hurriedly:

"The tributaries of the Styx have come to find me... I have used up all the strength I have stored. I cannot be away for such a long time again for at least two years. You must be careful."

Before Luna could react, she had already flown away, disappearing from sight almost instantly.

Luna didn't spend much time absorbing the moonlight, but they spent a lot of time listening to the lich's memories. Miss Skeleton didn't have the heart to interrupt the last words of this remnant of the kingdom, so she was delayed for a while.

"Well......"

Click, click.

Luna heard some noises coming from the City Lord's Mansion. She looked around and saw that the undead, who were bound by black lines and originally unable to move, were gradually beginning to regain their freedom.

She suddenly felt a little scalp-tingling. Although she had the Lich Staff in her hand, who knew if there were any powerful undead like the high priest in the City Lord's Mansion? Now Miss Skeleton was gone...

Not daring to stay any longer, she immediately flew out of the city before the undead could completely break free from their restraints.

200. Determination in the eyes

The ancient city ruins were filled with black fog, and it was difficult to see far away.

But Luna could sense that the formation barrier that had a strong presence before and stood in the outer area of ​​the ruins had now completely dissipated.

After all, even the Lich City Lord is dead now.

I just don't know whether it was done here or Miss Elvina successfully broke it in the middle. Luna was in the city lord's mansion before, and she didn't know the situation outside.

"It should be almost safe here."

Before leaving the city, Luna randomly found a dark alley, looked around, but did not find any powerful undead above level two.

"This thing in my hand is also very eye-catching. Well, I have to deal with it quickly."

A high-level staff! This thing is not something Luna can hold in her hand now. If the wizards outside see it, it will definitely cause trouble.

After a while, she walked out of the alley, and the staff in her hand had turned gray.

As an alchemist, Luna also had some materials in her hands. Now she processed them casually, so that the lich staff no longer exuded the powerful aura that could be seen at a glance before.

"That's enough for now. I'll do more detailed processing when I get back."

Although she didn't like the shape of the staff, strong is beautiful! Strong is good!

She flew out of the city again.

......

Surprisingly, she saw Elvina not long after. To be honest, she thought it was possible that she had just left.

But the reason was soon discovered.

slam-la-

As soon as she walked out of the black fog outside the ancient city ruins, Luna heard the sound that she had to hear every time she came to the secret realm. It was the sound of a deadly wave that was enough to make other wizards change their faces.

Now she knew that this was probably caused by the Skeleton Lady.

Beside the original tent, she saw Elvina, who seemed to be unharmed, and the advanced wizard Kurt, who looked miserable and had suffered serious injuries.

The girl always maintained her elegant temperament and appearance, and spoke calmly and without haste:

"Ah! Miss Luna, you're back? I was just worried that something might have happened to you."

Before she could speak, Elvina explained:

"My grandfather was seriously injured when he met me before. We waited there for a while, fearing that something else might happen, so we came here first. Unexpectedly, we encountered the Shadow Lake tributary again..."

In the distance, the vast Shadow Lake was flowing with endless tides, almost completely surrounding the ruins.

Elvina looked at the black tide in the distance with some concern:

"If we get any closer, we'll have no choice but to return to the ruins. Let's hope it doesn't flood here."

"I don't think so. Maybe it will dissipate after a while."

Luna thought that the skeleton lady would not cheat her like that. Anyway, she was not too worried.

"Is this what you got from the ruins?"

Elvina finally asked about the staff out of curiosity, after all, Luna had never had such a thing before.

"Well, I happened to encounter an internal fight among the undead, and I picked this up secretly..." Luna made up something casually. Miss Skeleton was fighting a high-level lich, so it wouldn't be wrong to say it was an internal fight.

She took out a cloudy crystal and handed it to Elvina:
