Night of Despair-Chapter 477: Destruction One 475

Black Spirit.

Bang!

Yu Hong forcefully pushed open the blocked door.

The door was heavy, and there seemed to be something outside that even he felt was heavy, blocked tightly at the entrance.

With a loud crash.

The door was pushed, forcing whatever was outside to move, finally opening completely.

A dim yellow light shone in.

Yu Hong squinted his eyes, quickly adjusting to the intense change in lighting.

Only then did he see the situation outside clearly.

The safehouse was perched on the roof of a large gray castle over ten floors high.

The house leaned precariously, with half hanging on the castle’s pinnacle.

Crackling.

From time to time, rubble slipped down the castle’s pinnacle.

The door that Yu Hong had just pushed open was blocked by the castle’s top.

Now that it had been forcibly opened, the pinnacle had been crushed a small part.

Standing at the door, Yu Hong and several people carefully looked outside.

In the distance lay a city of deathly silence.

Numerous half-destroyed building remnants resembled an ugly pancake, scattered evenly throughout the city.

Wherever the eye could see, it was all gray and white.

In some places, fires still burned, sending up thin gray smoke, like threads meant to stitch the fractures of this world.

"Are we already... too late?" Yu Hong sighed. From the radiation concentration in the air, it seemed a Source Disaster had already erupted here.

"It seems like there are no survivors...." Ku Chan stepped out from the door.

But as soon as he stepped out.

Hiss.

His boots seemed to touch something, rapidly emitting white smoke.

He was startled; despite his Power shielding him, his boots were still corroded.

Implying just how dangerous the outside environment was.

"Be careful, this place has become a high-risk area. The air is full of high-concentration Wind Disaster radiation pollution," Chi Xiao warned.

"Look, up in the sky!" Suddenly, Yiyi shouted loudly.

Yu Hong and the three of them hurriedly looked upward.

Only to see the sky filled densely with stars falling like meteors. As if they were real meteors.

Silent.

The meteors fell to the earth, causing massive quakes, but without sound.

You could only see circles of gray light spreading continuously.

"Such strong radiation response, but I wonder about the explosive power of these meteors," Ku Chan said in a low voice. "I want to try and see if I can collect some byproducts. Did you not say you needed some Wind Disaster products for research, to prepare for the next enhancement, Alliance Hierarch?"

"Be careful," Yu Hong nodded. He also wanted to try, but currently his Summonings could not endure like Ku Chan. Cai Jing Taoist’s attack output was sufficient, but its endurance was equally weak.

"Then... I’m going," Ku Chan stood at the door, took a deep breath, then.

Swoosh!

He dashed out of the house, heading for the nearest crater of gray light explosion.

To obtain the relevant products, it’s best to go straight to the point.

The group watched Ku Chan swiftly jump off the castle, approaching a deep pit two hundred meters away.

Whoosh!

Suddenly a thick smoke billowed, and Ku Chan grunted, retreating urgently.

In a little while, he rushed back into the safehouse.

He knelt on the ground, his clothes and skin sticking together completely.

Like two colored clays, merging with water.

"It’s too aggressive; my resistance to Wind Disaster’s corrosion is extremely poor. In the core area, almost all my Power was ineffective for defense! Only Spirit Light could barely hold on for a moment," Ku Chan coughed a few times and spoke.

"Did you get the stuff?" Yu Hong asked.

"I reached out to grab it, but then....." Ku Chan shook his head. He extended his right hand.

In the palm were unique melted injuries that looked like burns.

"Is this still White Dragon Jiafei’s place?" Yiyi suddenly asked. "I wonder how she is now."

"I hope she’s okay," Ku Chan sighed. His injuries began to heal quickly under a pale golden light.

"The Black Spirit does a fine job resisting the corrosion. I’ll move around outside and see if I can find some clues," Yu Hong closed the door.

He concentrated his thoughts to maneuver the safehouse.

Colored lines swiftly wrapped around the Black Spirit, and in the next moment, it disappeared from its original location.

After a flash of colorful light outside the window, the safehouse rushed out of a torrent and stabilized.

Yu Hong glanced outside from the peephole.

It was still a gray-white ruin outside, indistinguishable from where they had been.

The ruins looked somewhat like debris left after stones were smashed. Yet around the ruins, it also seemed more like mountains, trees, and wild grasses blended together.

"This seems to be the Louis Empire...." Yu Hong saw a half-exposed signboard of a shop within the ruins.

Besides the shop name, there were marks of how many branches were in the Louis Empire below.

While learning the Mage System, he memorized small bits of vocabulary. Words appearing frequently are the easiest to remember.

"It’s too dangerous outside now. We’d better stay in the safehouse. I’ll try multiple times to locate the scent I left earlier," Yu Hong said simply.

"Can you do it?" Ku Chan frowned. He was quite worried about Jiafei’s situation.

"Not much of a problem, before leaving, I secretly left some power as a temporary coordinate. Originally for positioning roughly, but now it seems it served another purpose coincidentally," Yu Hong estimated the position of the Inner Strength he had left earlier.

Although much was covered by Source Disaster radiation, his Inner Strength also consisted of high-concentration Light Disaster Radiation Energy polymer.

Boom!

The ceiling of the safehouse began to crumble with stone fragments.

The nine layers of Array had now only three barely maintained their operation.

Shaning hugged her daughter in a corner of the base, desperately keeping the outer layer of the Array running. Trying to enhance the base’s survival rate.

Rumble!

Another deafening sound came quickly.

Shaning watched the Array monitor on the wall, with the last three green lights instantly extinguishing two.

A profound despair surged within her heart.

"Mom... are we going to die here?" Jiafei clung to her father Anxi’s body, tears streaming, not knowing how long she cried.

"No.... We’ve built the best base, our efforts haven’t been in vain. We withstood the initial most dangerous wave of attacks, surely, surely everything will be alright...."

Sanning wiped the tears from her face, trying to comfort her daughter.

"If.... If I had tried harder, and accelerated a bit more, perhaps the base could be tougher, more solid. Maybe, father wouldn’t..."

Jiafei didn’t finish her sentence.

Suddenly, there was another violent shaking.

The entire base quaked again, with a corner caving inward violently.

"What is that!!?" Shaning saw through the Mage’s Eye outside the Array, a swarm of grey-white monsters with human faces surrounding the base, as if hunting wolves, appearing to nibble at something.

Those human-face serpents weren’t really serpents, just that they dragged a long trail of white smoke behind them when flying.

The largest among them at that moment was swirling, charging at the base over and over.

Its power was tremendous, each strike like a full-speed sprint from an adult giant dragon.

"maluo!!" The human faces shouted, making inexplicable cries.

Boom!

Another part of the base’s outer wall was dented.

"No... this can’t go on...!" Shaning realized the problem. Only the last Array light remained.

If the last Array were also destroyed....

"Jiafei, Mommy will go out to divert these monsters, and I’ll be back soon, remember to cover me!"

Shaning said earnestly.

"Okay!" Jiafei nodded.

Both dragons knew that without countermeasures, their eventual fate was undoubtedly dying here.

Shaning stood up, carefully and gently placing her husband Anxi’s dragon body aside.

Then stood at the doorway.

Layer upon layer of magical defenses lit up over her body.

She took a deep breath.

Bang!

Suddenly, Shaning darted out the door, flying out towards a gap among the human-face monsters.

But as soon as she stepped out, she sensed something was amiss.

The air outside was filled with a remarkably exaggerated toxic radiation energy.

Once airborne, she felt her whole body aching.

Looking down, she saw her scales starting to melt after just a few seconds.

The herd of human-face monsters had already been lured away by her.

Shaning wanted desperately to return, but thought of her daughter still inside.... If she returned now, maybe....

Gazing at her swiftly melting body.

Shaning suddenly remembered her husband Anxi.

"Anxi.... were you thinking the same thing when you did it...."

She forced a smile, nostalgically glancing back at the base, then flapped her dragon wings forcefully, spiraling towards further distances.

"Jiafei, survive!"

The melting blood water streamed down her body, spilling.

Enticing the human-face monsters below to chase after it, uttering strange cries.

At that moment, Jiafei, who was preparing for the rendezvous, finally realized something was wrong.

From afar, she saw the blood-red liquid dripping from her mother.

Tears immediately blurred her vision.

"Mom... don’t....!" She shook her head, tightly gripping the magic wand in her hand.

Fortunately, Shaning’s sacrifice wasn’t in vain, the surrounding human-face monsters were drawn away by her blood.

For now, everything turned quiet.

Jiafei was left alone clutching her father’s body, crying in a corner.

A few days ago, she had a beautiful family, loving parents, and now....

Time slowly passed.

Bang!

Suddenly, another muffled sound exploded.

A human-face monster began circling outside again, making strange cries, crashing into the base.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!!!

With its repeated assaults, the Array indicator light on the wall flickered unstably, on the brink of collapse.

Jiafei strained to release her mana, trying to restore the Array and maintain its normal operation.

Boom!

Yet such efforts ultimately proved fruitless.

The already broken last layer of the Array finally disbanded and went out.

Jiafei tensed fearfully, her whole body’s mana fluctuating violently with her emotions, unable to release any spells at all.

She trembled with her paws, attempting several times to cast a high-level Mage Barrier, but continuous missteps prevented her from even performing a basic Mage Barrier.

Crash!!

Suddenly.

A loud explosion came from outside.

The entire base also shook, blasting open a large hole.

The human-face monster flew rapidly through a large hole in the ceiling, but instead of heading for the curled Jiafei, it directly lunged for Anxi’s body on the ground, which was gradually stiffening.

Seeing this, Jiafei’s whole body seemed frozen by ice, immobilized for a moment.

Then, a deep-seated anger surged from her heart.

"Stay away from my father!!"

She roared, layers upon layers of mana nested and activated, forming an Array that lit up beside her.
