A Night of Desperation

Chapter 476: Destruction II

Over ten minutes later.

Swish!

The Black Spirit suddenly appeared near the Myriad Dragon Mountain, accompanied by colorful streaks of light.

"Here!!"

With a low shout, Ku Chan shot out from the main door, rushing into the ruins of the base and squeezing through a broken hole.

"Are you sure this is the place?" Yu Hong asked through communication magic.

"Yes, I just sensed Jiafei’s power fluctuation." Ku Chan replied.

His spiritual power is actually much stronger than Yu Hong’s, so his sense of detailed positioning in this regard is also better than Yu Hong’s.

In the ruins of the base, Ku Chan quickly

Inside the gray-white room, aside from books on shelves and a bed, nothing else remained.

Without a word, Yu Hong stepped up to shove all the books on the bookshelf into the burlap sack he brought.

Spirit Light covered them, slowing the corrosion.

Then continued to the next room.

One mage’s room after another was emptied.

Wands, spellbooks, spellcasting materials—it didn’t matter, as long as they were still intact and uncured, they went into Yu Hong’s sack.

Moments later, he finally took down the human head-sized red Crystal still flashing red atop the tower and placed it into the sack.

His gaze fixed towards the heart of this city, towards the Temple.

Boom.

The Temple’s heavy door was kicked open as well.

Yu Hong stepped inside.

In the gilded great hall, fully armed silver-armored Holy Temple Knights kept kneeling on one knee, maintaining their pre-death prayer stances.

Beneath the armor chinks flowed out the murky liquid.

That was from their flesh melting down.

Yu Hong swiftly moved inward, quickly reaching the idol.

The idol depicted a beautiful blonde woman in a diaphanous gown and a crowned head.

The woman bore a longbow, with golden armguards on her arms. Majestic with a hint of allure.

Yu Hong glanced at the woman’s idol, glanced around, then climbed up to pull the longbow from behind the idol.

Snap.

It seemed the longbow was stuck by something, not able to be fully removed.

Yu Hong applied force.

Still couldn’t remove it.

He wondered, examining closely.

As a result....

A pair of slender, pale hands tightly grasped the other end of the longbow.

"Young man, I’m not dead yet. Isn’t it a bit hasty to take someone else’s belongings?"

An enchanting young female voice sounded beside him.

Yu Hong jumped, swiftly releasing the bow, stepping back several steps to create distance.

Only then did he see, that the female idol had actually winked at him.

"Sorry, I just thought, since you don’t need it anymore, why not let me make full use of it, let it serve a greater purpose." Yu Hong calmly said.

In bygone times, he might have blushed, but now... he was long a changed man.

"Indeed... My Divine Country is gone, remaining here would only be pitiful existence." The woman sighed. "This Divine Artifact, you may have it, but I hope you agree to a small request of mine."

"You say your request first, and I’ll see if I can agree." Yu Hong cautiously stated.

"I see you possess some unique ability to resist this unknown disaster, so.... could you take this child away?"

The woman clasped her hands together, then gently opened them.

Suddenly, in her palms lay a tiny golden-haired girl with transparent wings, curled and lying naked.

"What’s she?" Yu Hong asked.

"She’s a part of me, I left all undividable parts here, and gave her all that could be separated. She is me, I am her." The woman said softly.

"Now my consciousness is here, but once you take her away, I can transfer my consciousness to her."

She paused, adding a word.

"I know you wish to gather the knowledge here—if you take me away, my over one hundred thousand years of memory and knowledge will be your fortune. Much easier than painstakingly seeking out scattered, possibly lost or twisted knowledge everywhere."

"I cannot trust you, rashly letting you join isn’t aligned with my safety requirements." Yu Hong had long anticipated such situations, so he prepared a strategy beforehand.

"Therefore, I need to leave insurance on you."

"This is a divine body. Even if I wanted, you wouldn’t be able to exert any control." The woman helplessly said.

"No problem. Let’s try." Yu Hong extended his hand, a blue light flickering at his fingertip.

Behind him, the phantom of the Ultimate Sun flickered briefly.

The woman’s expression slightly changed seeing this.
