Volume 2: Funeral Song of Crows Chapter 52: The Eve of the Storm
A middle-aged man with a giant snake shadow following behind him and the miasma of death wrapped around his body raised a hand towards Cass, and countless howling ghosts formed from the air and attacked him like a tide.
Seeing this, Cass thrust the sword in his hand into the ground. Dazzling lightning instantly exploded from the point where the sword touched the ground. Then, countless thunders splashed from this point, shattering all the milky white ghosts.
The middle-aged man raised his hand again, intending to repeat the same trick, but a bright silver sword light slashed towards him from where the thunder exploded. The space between the two of them collapsed inch by inch, and the middle-aged man had no choice but to transform into a ball of gray mist and pass through the sword light, and then condense into a human shape again.
Cass tightly grasped the giant sword in his hand and planned to take this opportunity to chase after him, but at this moment everything around him stopped as if the pause button was pressed.
"Sorry, I'm sorry to interrupt your training. Please wait a moment. I remember the core of the technique seems to be here. Hey..."
A familiar voice appeared not far away, and then the surrounding scene instantly changed from the gloomy tomb hall to the interior of a brightly lit tower.
Witch Liz flew above the magic circle in the center, and the light of the magic cast a faint red hue on her entire body.
This is the Trial Tower of Dusk Fortress, where you can use illusions to recreate enemies you have encountered before. This is where Cass usually trains himself to control his power.
"Shouldn't you be resting in the Horticulture Hall now?"
Cas asked suspiciously.
"William has just issued an order that everyone in this fortress must leave. The entire fortress will be completely blocked from now on. No one is allowed to come in until he lifts the blockade again."
Liz said as she flew in front of him.
Cass frowned and asked:
"Did Lord William tell me the reason?"
Liz shook her head.
Cass picked up his two swords from the weapon rack nearby and said:
"Then let's go first."
But Liz shook her head again and said:
"Just now I ran into William on my way here. He asked me to inform you that you don't need to leave. Take a good rest and then take Judgment Four to the Dusk Hall to wait for him."
"Did he say anything else?"
Hearing the other party specifically asking him to bring Judgment IV, Cass asked hurriedly.
Liz hesitated for a moment, then said with some concern:
"He also asked me to tell you... the opportunity to take revenge on the real mastermind behind the previous incident has come."

"Even if we get the three fragments, we still can't complete the ritual completely..."
After taking the third piece of the Father of Crows' soul into his body, Coles murmured.
The three soul fragments can only guarantee that he can obtain three-quarters of the power of the "Father of Crows". If he wants to be completely promoted to the King of Hope and Despair, he must use a huge amount of despair as the fuel for the ritual, and then use the seeds of hope as the final reversal of the ritual.
And now, the Seed of Hope is still in William's hands. Without this key, he cannot complete the final transformation. At best, he can only reach the level of the Void King in terms of power, but he cannot be as immortal as them.
Surrounding Coles were four blasphemous statues - a girl covered in decay and decay; a pale young man hanged on a dead tree; an old man covered in filth; and a queen whose upper body was that of a woman and her lower body was that of a spider.
But for some reason, the areas where the two eyes should be on the face of the spider in the last statue are empty.
As if hearing Coles's self-talk, a whisper echoed in his mind.
+Don't worry, everything is going according to the conspiracy web+
Then a girl's voice with a sticky feeling echoed.
+Unprecedented hunger and corruption will spread across Blackwater Province, and endless despair will echo across the Moon Realm+
Then came a pompous voice like a bard.
+The poor Disaster will face two cruel choices: watch his people die of hunger in the real world, or go to the Moon Realm to stop the ritual.+
Next, a sharp sound like nails scratching on a blackboard appeared in Coles' mind, giving him a splitting headache.
+If he chooses the former, you can use the extra despair to open the Moon Rift in Thorn City to a degree large enough for us to pass through. And if he chooses the latter, hahahahahahaha+
Finally, the whispering voice was heard.
+Disaster will definitely come to the Moon Realm by itself. Although the clown has burned all the conspiracy threads leading to Disaster, this has exposed his true purpose. The clown wants to support the former Disaster to become one of us.+
After hearing this, the muscles on Coles' face trembled involuntarily.
As if sensing his hesitation, the four voices echoed in his mind at the same time.
+Don't worry, we will give you a gift to make up for the last quarter of your missing strength+
As soon as he finished speaking, the four statues exploded at the same time, forcibly opening up a temporary Moon Realm rift and pulling Coles in.
+Then you will forge eternity with us+
In the Moon Realm, surrounded by those four voices, Coles saw the never-ending storm in the distance.
And a lighthouse looming in the eye of the storm.

"Next scene! Next scene!"
Valk, dressed in a gorgeous suit, was sitting in the VIP room, waving his cane and shouting.
The princess dancing solo on the stage lifted her skirt and rushed down in a hurry, not even having time to pick up her wig that had fallen off.
At the same time, the staff who knew the temper of the theater owner well pushed the prop car with pulleys onto the stage, but the pulley was stuck by the wig that had fallen off the previous actor, and the entire prop car stopped directly in the center of the stage.
"Scissors, scis ...!"
The staff member shouted, and a pair of scissors rushed over. The former grabbed the scissors and walked to the screaming wig, just about to make a cruel move...
“Pause!”
Their boss suddenly shouted.
All the characters on the stage, including the wigs and scissors, stopped their movements. They were frozen in place as if they were under a freezing spell.
Valk took out a pocket watch from his chest pocket and opened it. The hands on it were spinning like an electric fan. Valk slapped the pocket watch hard, and the three hands stopped obediently.
They stopped at zero at the same time.
"The time has come."
Valk nodded and threw the pocket watch behind him.
Then he pulled out one of his eyeballs like a wine cork, and took out a black bead that was shining with cold light from his pocket, and stuffed it into his eye socket with a "pop" sound.
"Ah... Black Crow Wang is there."
He nodded thoughtfully, and then shouted to the Moon Realm monsters on the stage:
"Inform the elephant, bear, wolfhound, rabbit, and magician to bring the fire ring, ball, and unicycle... Oh, and don't forget to bring the beggar's crown. In short, the wonderful Valk Circus tour is about to begin!"
"Boss, do you want to bring the clown?"
The butler named "Reason" appeared beside Valk at some point and asked with his head down.
"unnecessary."
Valk replied.
The next second, He turned into a clown with bells hanging all over his body, wearing a gorgeous and exaggerated clown costume, his face was covered with oil paint, and his smile looked both funny and scary.
"As for the clown, I am enough."
…………
In Juamala's bedroom, the seven curtains were closed.
The disaster was gone, and apart from asking for the coordinates of Heiyawang from him, he really didn't ask for anything else.
But why coordinate points?
This made the Nightmare Lord very confused.
He could obviously ask himself to send him there directly without using any coordinates.
A coordinate point is a one-time consumable item that can open a temporary portal to a certain lunar realm.
With the coordinates of Heiyawang, Disaster can even temporarily open a passage leading to Heiyawang in the mortal world.
In fact, this thing can also be used for plane fusion, but it is far less stable than the Moon Realm Rift.
Usually, if the Void Kings of the Moon Realm wage war against each other, they will need this. And the End Watchers used this thing to counterattack the Moon Realm.
But the disaster at hand was just one man, and he no longer had the army he once had.
Even if there is, what use will it be against the four Void Kings?
What on earth was he planning on doing with this thing?
