Chapter 617 Legend of the Blood Moon
The Garan Continent.
As one of the only two large continents of Faen, Garan was a rich, lively, and beautiful world.
When one looked into the distance, they could see that Garan was covered in a dense, verdant sea of forest.
The ancient trees in the forest were tall and mighty. Each one measured up to several dozen meters in height, while their treetops easily stretched for hundreds of square meters. Leaves grew in abundance upon the trees, while vines wrapped everywhere. All sorts of strange unknown birds of a variety of colors perched on the branches and chirped delightfully. The dense foliage of plants and trees filled the dark and silent space of the forest; it was hard to find any place to stand.
It was almost impossible for an ordinary person to travel through this forest!
This place was a rural, fringe area of Garan close to the shore.
The tall, ancient trees appeared much less dense here. Even their height seemed to be considerably less impressive. Sharp cliffs and treacherous reefs were everywhere along the shore. The sound of waves beating against the rocks and the beach was almost deafening. It was an intense and exciting sight.
“Nothing wrong? To research the powers of those otherworldly witches as a follower of the Great Saoirse. Is this not a sin?”
“It’s been a thousand years since those wicked witches broke into our world. Have we been able to expel them? No! We’ve never managed to do it in the past, we can’t do it right now, and we will probably not be able to do it in the future. Why? Isn’t it because they possess magical powers that are far superior to ours? That which they call magic.”
Hegus sighed.
“If…if things could truly go as Priest Tia envisions it to be and the followers of the Great Saoirse can all learn that powerful magic, then we forest elves might actually be able to become the rulers of the Faen plane.”
Cidaris couldn’t help but shake his head after hearing Hegus’ explanation.
“Hegus, I think you’ve been deluded by that Priest Tia. Don’t believe what she has to say. What ‘power is neither good or evil,’ what ‘it only depends on who wields it.’ Don’t believe her, Hegus. In my opinion, all powers in the world are divided by good and evil. The power of the witches might be immense, but that power must be able to bewitch minds and corrupt souls. Why else are they capable of such evil and horrifying things?!”
Hegus was silent for a long while. Finally, he spoke again.
“Do you not wish to know what Priest Tia obtained after researching the books left behind by dead witches?”
An ominous feeling rose in Cidaris’ heart when he heard his companion’s heavy tone.
“What did she tell you?”
“She said that the witches that invaded our world are only a branch of a major force in that fearsome World of Adepts. The increasingly frequent Calamity of Witches is a likely indication that something has changed with the witch forces there. More and more witches are entering our world!”
Cidaris couldn’t help but gulp. He asked nervously, “Then what does that mean?”
“It means that our world has become the main target of the opponent. It is very likely that even more terrifying and evil enemies will appear during this year’s Calamity! A blood moon… Tia said she saw a blood moon.” Hegus was practically shouting at his companion while gripping him by the collar when he reached the end.
“Blood moon…”
Cidaris’ face instantly became flushed white.
