Chapter 1125 Shani Falls
“Let me go.”
“Greem, Holly, Cherisha, don’t you forget. I came here to Morrian with all of you. If I die here, my clan leader won’t let this issue slide.
“If you don’t want to be perpetually pestered by the Dark Witches, you will let me go now!
“I’ve given up on this mission! I promise never to harass you again.”
As expected of the Northern Witches. Being the sole rulers of the Northern Lands, they were a unique group of adepts, far more unreasonable and demanding than any of their counterparts. Even in this moment of life and death, Shani’s tone had not softened at all. In fact, she was vaguely threatening the three of them, as if she would continue fighting at the drop of a hat.
“Why don’t we…just force her to make an origin oath and let her go?” Cherisha hesitated before speaking.
Out of fear and respect for Greem’s power, the two siblings had no choice but to participate in encircling Shani. However, now that they were deciding Shani’s fate, they behaved as cautious and careful as before.
At the very least, even Adept Holly, who had hated Shani with a passion before this, turned pale at the sight of her death. An indescribable feeling of sympathy for someone whose position he could have been in rose in his heart!
When the two adepts once again looked at Greem, their eyes were filled with respect and fear.
“No need to worry,” Greem chuckled and said, “The reason they sent Shani out to this foreign plane to kill me is to avoid any sort of divination. Once we return, we just have to make sure our accounts of the events are the same. We just have to insist that Shani died during a fight against an otherworldly creature. The Dark Witches won’t be able to disprove us or verify the truth of our words when it all happened so far away.”
Greem continued when he saw how pale the two adepts were, “Moreover, Morrian Plane is about to experience total destruction. Everything here will return to chaos and nothingness with the disintegration of the planar consciousness. Will you two still be worried about some great diviner making the trip here just to search for the truth behind Shani’s death? This plane probably won’t even exist by then.”
The two adepts’ expressions finally turned better when they heard this.
Of course, it was simply them persuading themselves that the situation wasn’t all that terrible!
After all, given how unreasonable the Dark Witches were, they probably had no intention of letting them go unscathed from the moment they sensed Shani’s death. That said, now that she was already dead, what could they do? Hope for Greem to take full responsibility for the matter?
They were still in a foreign plane. Moreover, one of them was weaker than the average adept, and the other was grievously injured. Neither of them could risk infuriating Greem. If they did do so and Greem decided to kill them to seal their mouths……
Perhaps it was because they realized this that Adept Holly and the two-headed siblings all put on smiling faces and started cursing about how shameless and sinister Shani had been. From how angry they appeared to be, you would think they wanted to tear her apart and burn her to ashes all over again if she appeared in front of them once more.
That said, no one really knew what they were thinking on the inside!
“Since you two have no objections, we will deal with the matter as such! We will say Shani died in the battle against Scourge Lord Illhoof. Speaking of which, I was wondering why Shani’s equipment looked so familiar. I assume it must be yours, Holly! If that’s the case, then you should have it back!”
Adept Holly retrieved the equipment scattered all over the ground with a bitter face.
The equipment was all his, but, at this moment, he could find no cause for joy!
Greem looked around the library after dealing with the matter with Shani. He couldn’t help but let out a silent sigh.
The battle from earlier might have been brief and small in scale, but it had still brought about destructive damage to the library.
It was like a class-ten typhoon had ravaged the library. All the furniture and shelves were in disarray. The arcane barriers that protected the tomes had now lost all their arcane radiance, and the tomes themselves had been eroded to dust by the wild shadow powers.
With how utterly destroyed the place was, there was no longer much meaning in searching this location.
Boom!
All of a sudden, a loud explosion could be heard from above the library. Plenty of dust and debris came cascading from the ceiling above.
“Ah…Freila, you despicable fool. You only dare to fight me because of that arcane barrier around you. How dare you injure me. Just you wait. Once my actual body projects power down onto this plane, I will devour you in a single bite.”
Illhoof’s strange hissing voice rang out in the air, sharp and high-pitched. It hurt just to hear him.
Judging by his tone, it seemed like Illhoof had suffered a little defeat at the hands of the Fifth Ring arcanist!
“Let’s go and take a look. We might just be able to benefit from this!” Greem chuckled, a cold light piercing through his eyes.
“Gr…Lord Greem, you see, the er…Seed of Darkness in me?” Holly hesitated for a moment but finally put forth the right attitude.
“There’s no need to worry; the Seed of Darkness is dormant at the moment. It won’t affect you all that much. Moreover, I haven’t fully grasped the powers of the Orb of Darkness. It is going to be a little difficult for me to get rid of the Seed of Darkness in the short term. Don’t worry about it. Once I figure out how it works in a few days, removing the Seed of Darkness will be an easy matter.”
Greem stepped out of the library ahead of everyone else.
The two-headed siblings followed closely after.
Adept Holly remained stunned on the spot. Several different expressions flickered on his face. All of a sudden, he shivered, only then realizing that the other two had already left. Adept Holly quickly followed in their footsteps.
