Moonlight After Sunset's
Lake Sinju pt 4

"The turning point of events is what will happen next."

******************#####****************

"Miss, who's that guy?" dian asked when they were out of the bar.

"Crazy man" replied Lazy Dusk. He then walked back to his inn to quell his anger.

"Who is he but I certainly hate him."

No one knew the reason why Dusk was so upset at Derick. Because this is his first time meeting Derick but somehow it feels so familiar and because of that Dusk hates him.

He hates the fact that Derick feels so familiar with him, it feels like meeting the man he's been trying to avoid. The annoying guy who once made his plans fucked up. He hated that stubborn man, hated him even so much.

After successfully easing his emotions, Dusk then decided to call Lily to come. The arrival of Lily managed to make the mind of Dusk a little clear and calm.

"I've heard everything from Ristia," Lily exclaimed as the teleportation portal disappeared.

"That's great so I don't have to talk at length with you."

Dusk then stood up from his seat, he then walked towards the balcony to see the activity outside.

"You can see it for yourself clearly at this time," continued Dusk when he saw the warm smiles of the residents.

"They are still not affected in real terms but I wonder who the illusionists have done this?"

Lily was silent for a moment when she heard the last question of Dusk. He also knew that if illusions were made by illusionists but who they were, it was still a mystery.

"I'm sure he's a great man."

Dusk turned his body to look at Lily. He then looked strangely at Lily while saying, "I saw Lich."

Lily and the others became tense. They clearly knew what a Lich was and all this time they had only heard it. They had never seen it in person, so the Lich to them was just a fairy tale told to children just to scare them.

"Are you sure of what you said?" asked Kun coldly.

"Do you think I'm a trickster?"

Dusk seemed annoyed by the strange question coming out of Kun, but all eyes were now also asking with the same expression.

"Ah, shit," maki Twilight was upset.

Dusk then told what he experienced when he went to visit the lake. He told me everything without missing a single one.

At first they were calm in hearing the story but in the end their bodies became uncontrollable with blue veins floating on their skin.

"We have to save them," cried Kun annoyed.

"Can't," replied the twilight firmly.

They were all now staring towards Dusk with sharp piercing eyes. They did not believe that Dusk was so firm in rejecting Kun's request.

"If we help the slaves then they will continue to look for new slaves and it will be endless."

The word Dusk has a point, if you want to finish something, it must be from the root not the branch.

"Then what should we do? We can't leave without doing anything, can we?" dian asked after being silent for a long time.

"We're going to destroy the lake."

Dusk coldly said that he intended to destroy the lake but they firmly rejected it.

"Miss, if the lake is destroyed then this city will also be destroyed."

"I know, that's why I called you here."

Lily was silent for a moment, she knew that her ability was manipulation but it was completely useless in this kind of situation.

"No need for you to think, I just want to make them sleep during the time of destruction. In addition, Ristia would make the dome as a shield to make the dead mana liquid remain confined inside. Kun and Dian will take care of the knight while I, I will make a magic spell...."

"Can't."

Dian firmly cut off the words of her miss.

"If Miss performs a destruction spell then Miss's own body will be her victim. Did Miss forget, if Miss's body is currently out of balance? If Miss recklessly does that, then Miss will faint again later."

Kun and Lily also agreed with Dian, they did not want Dusk in trouble let alone having to faint for a few days. But Dusk only ignored Dian and his two holy animals.

"It won't hurt, I've set the amount of mana expenditure for the destruction magic so I'll be fine."

Dian looked frustrated with her stubbornness. The same thing was done by Kun and Lily.

"Alright, then it's up to you."

****

At night Dusk and his subordinates immediately headed to the forest where the sacred lake was located. They teleported directly to the lake towards the place they had previously been to.

Upon arrival there they could feel a strong mana dead energy. This energy was even more powerful twice as much as before and it made his saint beast feel intense pain.

"Damn, this is even stronger than I imagined," Lily snapped in annoyance. He seemed to be struggling in conditioning himself from the chaos that existed.

"Miss, looks like we're late" whispered Dian slowly.

Dusk had known about it ever since he got out of teleportation. He sensed the foreign energy that was attacking each other and it made the state of the forest seem so chaotic right now.

"We're in the original plan."

The twilight words made his subordinates become calm again. They then took their place.

"Ristia, you can start now."

"None right."

Soon a large dome covered the area. It seemed so obvious that those who were fighting looked confused but Dusk casually ordered Dian and Kun to interfere in it.

"Kill those who interfere, be it enemies or allies."

The Dusk Command before Kun and Dian moved.

"In addition, Kun. You have to hide your identity, do you understand."

Kun casually smiled mischievously towards Dusk. He then disappeared inside the dark forest, the same was true for Dian.

"Huh, this is a little troublesome. Actually I just want to settle this quietly but they've messed it up." Inner Dusk while looking towards the black-robed person.

They were not many just a few people but judging by the way they fought, it seemed like they were not random people and clearly Dusk knew that.

"I don't know if they're enemies or not but for sure, if they interfere with this plan then there's no other choice but to fight back" murmured Dusk as he was chanting a destructive magic spell.

"I have to hurry before Lich realizes my existence" he continued coldly.

On the other hand, the fighters look chaotic with a giant dome that is imprisoning them. Some of them even lost their concentration so they were stabbed and died. But there is something strange, the men in black hooded instead look calm and relaxed.

They continued to fight regardless that the dome was getting higher and covered the forest area. They smile happily at that.

"New enemies are coming!" the knight shouted at one of the witches who was holding slaves hostage.

"Damn it, call the master immediately!" reply the witch to her subordinates before the dome completely closes.

Some of the witches teleported, but only two of them escaped while the others were blocked by the dome that was now closed perfectly.

"Damn it, keep the formation."

Shouts for the sake of shouting continued to buzz inside the dome, be it from allies or enemies.

****

Dian and Kun who were in disguise continued to attack the enemies one by one. They looked superior as they hunted the knights who spread out almost throughout the dome area. Their position was clearly protecting something.

whenever any knight was about to pass through the passage, they always killed him. This was the plan made by Dian and Kun. They didn't want anyone to mess with her lady while she was doing a destruction spell.

Lily herself is tasked with putting the townspeople to sleep with long dreams. It was done so that they would not be aware of the great fight that was going on in the lake of chastity.

Dusk deliberately told them to hide outside the dome so that what happened inside would not affect them later. In addition to making their position safe, it was also done so that the enemy could not track the source of power from this dome.

"I must strengthen this dome with poison," Inner Ristia as the knights tried to destroy the dome from within. They look chaotic because every time they damage the dome, instead of being crushed their bodies are thrown far behind.

It was constantly happening, like someone who was hit by a high-voltage electric strike just that they were still alive even though they had been thrown several times.

"They're persistent too."

Lily looked at the scene with a wide laugh but the laughter at the corner of her lips could not last long as a few minutes later, a black shadow came and tried to force its way into the dome.

"Damn it, they're coming."

Lily then did the link with Dusk which was coldly replied by her miss.

"Ugh...!" pekik Ristia who tried to hold the shape of the dome.

"I'll help you."

Lily and Ristia are now working together to keep the dome from falling into enemy hands.

"Miss, we hope you're okay there," Lily's inner self as the dome begins to break apart at some point.
