Chapter 1579: Old Acquaintance (Fourth Update)

On a mountain peak with magma flowing on its surface, a clear concave mark could be seen on the mountainside. This was originally the Mist Fortress, and now, only a small piece of the Mist Fortress remained, while other parts had been vaporized by solar flames or melted into magma.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Dry coughing sounds came from the concave part of the mountain peak. A witch covered in charred black skin lay on the ground. She only had a small half of her upper body left, and other parts had been burned to ashes by high temperatures.

"This is... Adeline, Adeline?"

After the woman shouted twice, she discovered that the charred charcoal that twitched from time to time nearby was the Adeline she was about to shout for.

"Have they... all died?"

The woman quickly calmed down. She pinched her own throat and exerted force in her hand. With a "crack," she snapped her own neck, and the luster in her pupils faded rapidly.

After a few seconds, a fair arm reached out from the back of the corpse. This arm supported itself on the ground.

Blood splashed, and the woman crawled out from her own corpse. She was already unscathed at this time.

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

The sound of shoe soles being scorched came. The woman turned her head to look. It was a man wearing a long leather coat and holding a long blade.

"Moi Nora?"

The man holding the long blade spoke.

"Did you do this?"

"It seems that's right. Carmen, you guys can act over there. I'm in the Mist Valley. The witches here? I've already killed them all. Move fast; I don't want to confront an immortal enemy for too long."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the completely naked Moi Nora's eyes twitched.

Moi Nora's appearance wasn't stunning, but her temperament was unique. It wasn't the cold, eerie feeling of other witches; she gave people a feeling of unyieldingness, as if nothing could knock her down, giving people a sense of peace. This was a natural leader.

Moi Nora held her hand empty, and a scepter quickly manifested. This scepter was about 1.5 meters long, and over a dozen gems were densely inlaid at the tip. These were the incarnation fragments of the Moi family's heads through the generations.

Clang!

The scepter pointed to the ground, and a shockwave spread to the surroundings. Moi Nora's long golden hair flew up.

"Blood debt, blood paid."

The hatred in Moi Nora's eyes almost turned into substance. She was different from Molisha; she wouldn't treat the witches under her command as chess pieces, but as subordinates who could be entrusted with important tasks. Moi Nora believed in them, just as they could die for Moi Nora.

Moi Nora could have a say in the South not by relying on force and cruel means. Molisha was cunning and cruel enough, but she could only govern that small place in West Port, and even a tough girl like Kai was hurt by Molisha.

If Kai had arrived under Moi Nora, she would definitely be willing to die for Moi Nora.

Moi Nora's momentum became stronger and stronger. Su Xiao naturally wouldn't let it go. Ignoring the scorching ground under his feet, he charged toward Moi Nora with a "bang."

Zing~

The long blade hummed, and Su Xiao arrived in front of Moi Nora in an instant.

With a crisp "clang!"

Sparks flew several meters high. Moi Nora held the scepter in her hand horizontally, actually blocking Su Xiao's slash head-on. An impact spread to the surroundings, and the ground under both their feet collapsed at the same time.

"Rock!"

Moi Nora roared lowly. She stepped on the ground, and the mountain rocks below surged. A root of pitch-black stone thorns broke through the ground, stabbing toward the lower half of Su Xiao's body.

An energy shield manifested under Su Xiao's feet. The tips of the pitch-black stone thorns rubbed against the energy shield with a "creak," and the sound was exceptionally harsh.

Su Xiao was lifted by the stone thorns below. The blade of the long blade in his hand cut across the scepter, and the slash marks on the scepter were deeper. Seeing this scene, Moi Nora's expression was somewhat ugly; the blade in Su Xiao's hand was too sharp.

"Flame."

Boom! Fire explosions appeared out of thin air around Su Xiao. His ears buzzed, and his body ached faintly.

"Electricity."

Moi Nora aimed the scepter in her hand at Su Xiao, and a bright silver electric light struck toward Su Xiao.

"Wind Queen."

Before the electric light could strike Su Xiao, countless wind blades spread toward the surroundings with Moi Nora as the center point.

With a "sizzle," the electric light wrapped Su Xiao inside. His body felt numb everywhere. Enduring the discomfort in his body, he slashed forward, ding-dang slashing through the flying wind blades.

After just a few rounds of fighting, Su Xiao was surprised to find that Moi Nora wasn't a witch who controlled a single element; she could simultaneously manipulate earth elements, fire elements, thunder elements, and wind elements.

Electric arcs flashed on Su Xiao's body. The feeling of being electrocuted couldn't be described as just "refreshing."

Seeing Su Xiao's appearance, Moi Nora was even more furious in her heart. The enemy who had killed all her confidants was actually like this.

However, Su Xiao just didn't want to waste stamina with the current Moi Nora. Before solving Misfortune, fighting Moi Nora to the death wasn't a wise move. He appeared to prevent Moi Nora from escaping. Carmen had promised that he would handle it in ten minutes at most. If he didn't believe those old guys, Su Xiao wouldn't have cooperated with them.

At the same time, at the edge of the White Forest, inside the Dust-Mud Altar.

Roaring sounds came. Carmen swung the cane-whip in his hand. The four witches in front of him could only struggle to support themselves. At this moment, rapid footsteps came. It was the drunkard and Witch Grave who had arrived. 【15

The three of them had acted separately, and after killing their way here, they reunited; in less than half a minute, there were four more corpses on the ground.

"I didn't expect Doom to be so afraid of death that she hasn't actively rushed out yet. The Undead Witch Doom is actually afraid of death; interesting."

The Drunkard gulped down several large mouthfuls of wine; this might be the last time he would ever drink.

"Kukulin has already engaged Moi Nora; it is time."

Carmen slowly unbuttoned his clothes, revealing a gaunt upper body covered in scars.

"It seems you intend to use that, but coming here, you didn't plan on going back alive."

The Witch Grave's sinister laughter came; cyan patterns spread from inside his collar and crept onto his face. This time, he did not control those cyan patterns but let them spread across his face.

The Witch Grave's white hair began to fall out, and that wasn't all; the flesh on his face also began to fall off in chunks, appearing exceptionally terrifying.

If it were only the Witch Grave, it would be fine, but Carmen and the Drunkard were both the same. A moment later, the heads of these three were a bloody mess, and those blood-red eye sockets didn't look like humans at all.

At this moment, the three could no longer be considered human; they were more like three evil ghosts.

"Hoo—"

Carmen spat out a mist of blood, dropped the staff-whip in his hand, and stepped toward a metal door.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

After three kicks from Carmen, that metal door, which could only be opened by a mechanism, was kicked flying with a boom. It was a spacious sacrificial hall with nearly a hundred witches standing inside.

"What... what kind of monster is this?"

Looking at the three of them—Carmen and the others—slowly walking over, a witch in the sacrificial hall began to tremble.

"Don't care what it is, kill them."

Just as the witch's words fell, a gust of wind filled with the smell of blood struck. The Witch Grave, his face a bloody mess, suddenly appeared before her and grinned. As he grinned, he actually tore his entire face open.

Behind these hundred-odd witches, a witch draped in a gray robe, sitting cross-legged on the ground, raised her head. She... was somewhat afraid, because the aura of those three things was no longer something a living creature could emit.

Roaring sounds and screams came one after another.

Five minutes later.

Drip, drip...

Fresh blood slid down Carmen's fingertips; there was no flesh left on his hands, only a skeleton. Beside his feet was a twisted corpse, looking as if it had been gnawed on, with the Witch Grave's head still biting into the corpse's neck.

"Kukulin, we've solved it on our side. Remember, you only have half an hour."

Just as Carmen spoke, his leg bone suddenly snapped. It wasn't just the leg bone; the bones all over his body began to shatter inch by inch.

Carmen lay on his back, the luster in his eyes fading rapidly. In his dying consciousness, he recalled the past.

Inside the burning wooden house, thick smoke billowed.

"Sister, Mother, I am Carmen, cough cough, what's wrong with you? Get out quickly, this place is about to..."

Inside the farm's granary.

"Father! Sister and Mother have both turned into monsters. They're actually gnawing on my leg, woo~, I think I'm crippled, Fa... ther?"

In front of three new graves.

"Father, I will definitely kill three witches to avenge you. No, three hundred!"

A limping boy walked away; his name was Patrick Carmen, the son of a farmer.

At the same time Carmen died, inside the Mist Valley, at a depression on the mountainside.

Bang!

Su Xiao flew backward, drops of blood splashing. Wind and fire elements scattered. Not far away, Moi Nora covered her chest with one hand; crisscrossing slash marks covered her chest. What made her heart palpitate was that these wounds could not be healed.

Su Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and put away the short blade in his hand. This was 【Soul Walker】; as long as one was wounded by 【Soul Walker】, with Moi Nora's abilities, the possibility of recovery was extremely low.

Taking off the wireless earpiece from his ear, Zhan Long Shan appeared in Su Xiao's hand. Blood energy surged with him as the center point. The battle officially began!

Just as Su Xiao was about to rush forward, Moi Nora opposite him suddenly froze in place. A golden energy surged on her hand. From her puzzled expression, it was clear she didn't know what was going on.

"Accept me, you are qualified, Moi Nora!"

Seeing this golden energy, the corner of Su Xiao's eye twitched; an 'old acquaintance' seemed to have arrived.
