Chapter 622
Chapter 622 Continuous Fight
Witch Airuilian’s funeral was being held above a cliff to the side of Spear Valley.
A blazing fire burned upon the piled-up logs, licking at the young witch’s body bit by bit until, finally, everything had turned to ashes.
The witches were not members of this world. Their soul would never rest in peace here.
To avoid Airuilian’s soul being lost in other worlds, Alice personally hosted the funeral and tried her best to collect shards of Airuilian’s soul from within the ashes.
Once they returned to the World of Adepts, Alice only needed to shatter the soul crystal, and Airuilian’s fractured soul would be allowed to return to the soul mother river. It was the greatest courtesy a dead adept could receive.
During the funeral, Greem and the others only stepped forward to give their blessing. However, the Witches of Fate who had come along with Airuilian were shedding sorrowful tears. It was clear that the relationship of these Witches of Fate had been extraordinarily close-knit after nearly a hundred years of being together.
That was in stark contrast to the relationship of the witches in the other branches!
Moonshade Village.
This once peaceful and calm village was now in a riot.
Less than one-tenths of the defeated garrison had successfully made it back to Moonshade Village. The female elf captain that had led the group also brought back terrifying news to everyone.
The fearsome adept’s flying ship was near Moonshade Village. They could descend upon them at any moment to take vengeance for the elves’ ambush.
Aizac, who had left the captain halfway, was already on his way back to the central mountains. He would try to report the information about the flying ship to an elven commander as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the female elf captain hurried back to Moonshade Village to organize the migration of the villagers.
Most elves would only go adventuring in their youths. They usually returned to their place of birth once they reached middle age to live out the rest of their lives in peace.
For the villagers of Moonshade Village, this was the home that they had lived in for their entire lives. No one would be willing to leave this familiar land and forest if it weren’t for the continuous urging of the captain. Even if they needed to depart, every elf brought with them plenty of baggage. They hesitated with every step, turning to look at their home at each turn. The reluctance in their eyes was heartbreaking.
Though the female elf captain couldn’t bear to leave this place either, she steeled her heart and forced the elves to pick up the pace; it was for everyone’s safety.
At this moment, the elven scout that she had left near Spear Valley ran back, panting and gasping.
“What? The enemy has already left? They flew in the direction of the shoreline?” The female elf captain grabbed the shoulders of the elf. She almost couldn’t believe her ears.
“Wooo. The evil adepts have left. We no longer need to leave our home anymore.”
The elves who couldn’t bear to leave their home behind immediately started cheering upon receiving the news. Some of them even began to sing and dance.
However, the frown on the elf captain’s face only deepened. Her gaze into the distance turned deeper and darker.
Could the adepts really tolerate this slight to them? Were they not going to avenge their companions?
Far away, where the female elf captain couldn’t see, the curtains were only rising on a storm of blood and murder orchestrated by Greem!
