Chapter 4155 The Shadow of the Yellow Moon
"Sniff~ Sniff~ Over here!"
After Shad and Viggo worked together to repel another group of desiccated corpses dressed in leather, Ellie, who had been sniffing around, suddenly brightened up and tugged at Shad's sleeve, pointing very confidently to the southwest corner of the banquet hall:
"It's right there! What we're looking for is definitely there!"
Mummified corpses were scattered around, but the leather objects had vanished after their defeat. As the darkness lingered longer, the once tidy banquet hall of the guild hall looked as if it had been abandoned for over a hundred years, and the food on the long table had long since rotted into a strange, blackened mess.
The door Ellie pointed out looked as if it had been struck by a tremendous force; it was stuck in the crooked doorframe and couldn't be pushed open. So Shad swung his sword and broke the door open. The silver orb of light flew in first, illuminating the equally dilapidated banquet hall behind it. After confirming it was safe, the three of them entered together. This hall was clearly different from all the previous banquet halls.
"The Witch Emperor's power? How could she be here?"
As the Great Witch of Chaos, Vige immediately sensed the power remaining in the room.
This banquet hall was more dilapidated and messy than any of the previous rooms. It looked as if a battle had taken place here many years ago, with long tables, sofas, cabinets and other furniture lying in fragments on the dusty floor.
In the center of the room's floor, a sword mark, still radiating a yellow glow in the darkness, remained unerased by the whispering elements of the relic, even after thousands of years.
The sword mark almost cleaved the entire room in two. Wei Ge could even imagine the unknown great witch standing on the other side of the room, shattering everything in the room with a single sword strike:
"It should be a trace left by the Fifth Era. The great witch who wielded the sword was very strong. I suspect that she was a demigod. Otherwise, there would be no reason why the [Leather Goods Guild] could not deal with the traces she left behind."
Wei Ge said, but she didn't understand:
"But what did Ellie bring us here for?"
"This is it!"
The little unicorn was absolutely certain that it hadn't given the wrong directions, and Shad, looking at the bright yellow sword mark, was also quite sure that Ellie had indeed found what he was looking for most:
"This sword mark was left by the Moonlight Greatsword."
Vig looked at him in surprise, and Shad nodded slightly:
"Do you remember Britney Orlando, whom I introduced to you?"
Wei Ge suddenly realized:
"The first librarian of St. Byron? So, that lady was here in the Fifth Age too?"
"And it's very likely that this sword mark is a message she left for me."
The glowing sword mark posed a deadly danger to the leather creatures, but Shad, Viggo, and Ellie were able to approach it safely.
Ellie was proud that she had helped Shad once again, while Viggo was shocked by the immense power of the demigod witch from the Fifth Age. Shad, meanwhile, knelt down on one knee beside the sword scar and reached out his hand.
The instant he touched the sword mark, he seemed to hear Britney's soft sigh. The blonde witch's face clearly appeared in Shad's mind, followed by "her" gentle reminder:
[Outsider, you have touched the Witch's Echoes - Oranold. Since you have already touched an echo of the same origin, you are not entitled to vote this time.]
Compared to the echoes of the witch that lingered in other areas, this echo was extremely unstable due to the corrosive power of the relic. But even so, as the yellow moonlight in the sword scar resonated with the moonlight at Shad's fingertips, Britney's phantom still lifted her skirt and stood up from the light of the sword scar.
Ellie wasn't surprised at all; the white-haired girl simply waved in greeting. Viggo, however, was speechless with astonishment as she stared at the face. She couldn't understand how they, who had been searching together, had ended up finding a witch emperor.
Britney's ghostly figure smiled at Shad, raising her hand to touch his face, but her hand simply passed right through it.
"My teacher Fio"
Her voice was initially broken and indistinct, but at least the most crucial phrase, aided by the Red Dragon Queen who possessed the power of the Time-Space Dragon, was clearly etched deep within the echo:
"Shad, activate the key here, find your teacher, and complete the time loop." (Common language of the Fifth Age)
The glowing figure walked towards Shad and then embraced him. This time, Shad felt a physical presence.
"Completely destroying the Guild Hall will also require our strength. We will be waiting for you in the Fifth Era."
The light and shadow dissipated from Shad's embrace, leaving only a few bright yellow moonlight clinging to him, granting him a very brief "blessing of the yellow moon" to protect him from getting lost.
This Witch's Echo contains little power, but as long as the most important message has been delivered, then this echo has fulfilled its purpose:
"I want to use the time key here."
He turned to Ellie and Vige and said, Ellie didn't react, but Vige asked:
"You're leaving for a while?"
"Yes, it came back in three seconds. So it seems that Britney, who left behind this echo, must have met me as I was about to begin the final leg of my journey. It seems I am indeed determined to eradicate this place, and even sought help from the teachers."
"OK then."
Vige still didn't understand what had happened, but since Xia De had only left for three seconds, she was patient enough to wait.
"I've only heard other witches talk about what you're about to do, and I'm not really sure how risky it is."
She kissed Shad's cheek:
"Then be careful, Ellie and I will be waiting for you here."
"Watch out! We'll be waiting for you to come back!"
Then the unicorn girl tiptoed and kissed Shad on the cheek. If Emilia had seen this, the fairy would have been very angry, but Vig didn't think there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, she thought that the unicorn's pure kiss was a blessing with some kind of lucky power.
The Night Watchman and his other belongings were temporarily entrusted to Vigo by Shad. Shad had already brought with him all the spellcasting materials the witches needed, as well as the materials Miss Felianana was preparing to make dolls. He had also prepared all the magic to suppress the Withering Crystals and the magic related to flesh mutation.
He took out the time key, which was covered in cracks, and then pulled out the door pendant he had prepared:
May the World Tree protect me throughout infinite time.
The key was inserted directly into the extremely small keyhole on the pendant. Before opening the door, Shad nodded to Vige and Ellie. As the white mist that surged from the door engulfed Shad, the pendant fell to the ground, but was caught by Vige.
"Is his cat still on him in the form of a doll?"
As Wei Ge pondered this, she noticed that after Xia De left, the bright yellow sword mark that had existed here for thousands of years finally completed its mission and disappeared.
Just as the sword mark vanished, several figures appeared out of thin air in the room. The leatherworkers, wielding knives, finally found Vige, but before the witch could raise her sword to cast her spell, Shad's hand, burning with fire, rested on her shoulder, where the witch, as beautiful as a violet, smiled.
(Mia is running.)
[A message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Autumn of the Fifth Era, 3030, Southern Continent, Bloodstained Factory.]
[Event: The birth of a newborn.]
[Duration: 100 minutes (3/3)]
You have received additional information.
The figure of the Father of the Infinite Tree watches over you.
The ancient god of time has given you a test.
[Assisting the old god "One-Armed Prince" in the birth of new life.]
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will reward you with: the Arcane Art - Veil of Night, and the Divine Art Contract - Dragon Maid Contract.]
"We didn't use the door at home this time, so the time didn't double; otherwise, it would have been two hundred minutes!"
Xia De, who appeared in the thick white fog, suddenly realized the problem, while "she" smiled gently:
Want to use your spare time to meet up with Britney Orlando?
"And Miss Feliana, Fiona, and it's been a long time since I last saw Miss Wild. Gina has helped me so much this time, so I should say hello properly before leaving."
She smiled gently. Shad, increasingly dissatisfied with the [Leatherworks Guild], didn't rush to step out of the white mist. Instead, he took a deep breath to adjust his state. His energy expenditure in the [Leatherworks Guild] wasn't significant, but he had still been affected by the scene-related relics.
Now that he's outside the guild hall, his mental state is rapidly recovering, and he's ready to face the challenges of the [Bloodstained Factory] once again:
"Get the blood-tainted factory shut down in thirty minutes!"
She whispered in Shad's ear:
So confident?
"With Miss Feliananna by my side this time, and with the [Rotten Moon Flower] I possess completely suppressing those flesh-and-blood mutants, there's not much here that can stump me, except for the gods that might appear deep within the factory."
Shad patted his chest, preparing to officially begin the mission, but immediately after he patted, something stirred inside his shirt on the left side, and then Mia peeked out from behind the buttons:
"Meow?"
The cat curiously looked around. Shad blinked, then pressed Xiaomia's head down with his right index finger, pushing the cat back into his clothes.
"The adventure ahead is very dangerous. If you don't want to become strange, Mia, you'd better turn back into a toy."
This time, however, the cat was clearly unwilling to do so. But the obedient cat did not directly resist Shad's fingers. It shrank back into the clothes and meowed. Anyone could hear the sorrow in the cat's meow.
“But it’s really dangerous. Well, when I see Miss Feliananna later, I’ll ask her if there’s a way to protect you temporarily. But if a battle breaks out, you must obey.”
The cat immediately stopped meowing; it seemed to truly understand what Shad was saying.
