"Sisters, this is the Holy Mountain! We found him!"
How to shout and show his happiness to the whole world. Many witches foolishly stood in place, shaken by the spectacle before them. But, there were also others who jumped up and down and started shouting in excitement.
Scarlett, however, frowned after looking into the city and muttered, "Is this really the Sacred Mountain?"
Leaf, hearing this, leaned towards Scarlett and whispered, "Why do you think this is? Is something wrong?" Deep down he had the same question. After all, this city in the sky did not look the same as described in the Holy Scriptures, where it was said to be golden, majestic and majestic. The city with these towers also looks spectacular, but is entirely built in grayish black, and looks gloomy even during the day. In addition, there was also a red mist above the city that strongly resembled a blood mist.
"There's something ... it's sandwiched itself into one of those holes," Scarlett spoke again in a dry voice, "I can't see it clearly, but it definitely doesn't resemble the gods ..."
The leaves could feel all of his hair starting to stand up. Within the Witch Cooperation Association, it was Scarlett who had the best eyes and could see clearly at this distance. So hearing him say this made Leaves feel uncomfortable. Unfortunately, Lightning also left with Nightingale. Otherwise, he could fly near the city and see it.
"Sister! The Sacred Mountain is waiting for us to take it," How to raise his hand into the air and shout happily, "With a little more effort, we will soon find Eternity!"
Then, he immediately urged Stone to take him further. Leaf personally did not want to advance, but in the end, she still took the first step. He thought, two weeks ago, everyone knew what would happen if someone disagreed with Cara. I was afraid at this point, no one could stop him from moving forward!
Their marching speed increased at a steady pace. After leaving the foot of the mountain, snow fell unexpectedly and the surrounding temperature also increased. This was a legendary forbidden land, a land where no human had ever set foot before. However, now Leaves could see the footprints being trampled on this remote land. If Lightning were here and saw this, she would be very happy, wouldn't she?
When he looked back and saw the towering mountains behind him, he could not believe they were capable of passing through this barrier. The leaves guessed that it was only because of the impassable Mountains that the demonic beasts could not flood the interior. Are they only able to attack from the north because that's where they can pass through the mountains?
No matter what, if we really find the Sacred Mountain and do not need to drift any longer from one place to another, then I will also be satisfied ... thought Leaf while sighing gently. To be honest, when Nightingale returned to the camp and told everyone about her life and future in Border Town, Leaves was blown away. When Nightingale asked Wendy and everyone if they wanted to go with her, she could not help but want to go out and shout her name. But in the end, he was unable to cross the threshold in his heart and was unable to leave behind the shadow of the past.
Leaf shook her head, don't let yourself think about the past, instead, focus on offsetting the others, don't be left behind in this desolate land .
Soon they discovered something strange - regardless of their speed, the city seemed to retreat as fast as they moved forward.
After an hour of marching, the "Holy Mountain" was still hanging on the clouds, neither growing nor shrinking, it seemed ..
"Honorary Mentor, please order a break, our sisters are getting tired" Stone said. During this period of the march, the people who had to carry Cara had changed several times, but she was clearly the one who had to bear her burden the longest.
"No! How can we stop now!" The thoughtless way of rejecting Stone's suggestion, "This is a test by our god, sister, if we don't show our strong will, we will never be able to reach the Holy Mountain! We will never be able to stop! We must continue to climb right in front of the door to enter the Sacred Mountain right in front of us! "
Seeing that his persuasion had failed, he could do nothing but move forward.
Under no circumstances were they allowed to stop, even during the two waves of demonic beasts they had to advance. During the second wave, they even encountered two hybrid beasts, where the shackles of Leaves did not work and without them he was unable to stop the monster attacks. A sister caught off guard must pay the price for being too confident of the group. His neck was cut by claws and his blood spilled to the ground.
When they were finally able to kill all the demonic beasts, they discovered with horror that the sky was gradually becoming dark. Apparently night is coming soon. The city in front of them was still visible, but its outline became increasingly blurred as time went on, as if it had gradually disappeared.
According to their past experiences, they had to find a suitable campground and build their camp, but in this remote land, the surrounding environment was completely different compared to the mountains. When looking around, all they could see was a flat plain filled with demonic beasts. There was not a single safe place where they could rest overnight.
"No!" How to shout, "We've spent an entire afternoon walking with almost no pause just to reach this place. Now when we have spent more than half our stamina, we can no longer maintain the same pace and come back. Sister, we can only go ahead! We can actually find the Holy Mountain, and there we can settle down to rest. "
"Then what should we do with Sherry?" a witch asked as she pointed to the ground where Sherry, who showed no signs of vitality, lay.
"We don't have time to bury her," Cara shook her head, "Take it here, the earth will contain it."
The leaves closed their eyes dejectedly, again my other sister was missing, if I was just a little stronger, she would not die in this remote land, she said, without a tombstone to tell her about her life.
During that time when many sisters could not decide whether they should advance or retreat, Stone suddenly exclaimed, "Look up to the sky, the city is gone!"
Hearing this, Leaves instantly opened his eyes to look at the night sky hidden behind a wall of gray-black clouds. The city had disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Everyone was rooted in his place, and a terrible silence began to fall on them.
During sunrise, the city never disappears ...
Leaf suddenly felt a terrible feeling as if her brain was struck by lightning; she remembered the fairy tales told about adventurers, about the fantastic scenery seen in the sea. His entire body began to tremble, and he could only whisper, "We have been deceived ..." Immediately, he shouted, "We have been deceived, it is not the Sacred Mountain! All we saw was a mirage!"
"Mirage?" Cara suddenly turned around, looking rather grim and asked in a voice of terror, "What is that?"
"That's something Lightning often mentions in her story. A phenomenon often encountered during sea travel, but also seen on land, is only much rarer. We saw nothing but illusions; the real city was probably very far away from us, maybe even it was not in front of us at all! "
"Does this mean at least exist and not just disappear?" How to ask with a little hope.
"This ..." Leaves took some time to reply, "I don't know."
At this moment, Scarlett suddenly shouted, "Be careful! Something is coming!" with a horrified expression on his face, he stared at the left side of their group.
"Is that a demonic beast?" windseeker asked as she entered her battle arena, "How much?"
"No ..." Scarlett replied and took two steps back in fear, "I don't know what it is ..."
After his voice subsided, a shadow suddenly appeared from afar, and instantly struck Scarlett with lightning speed. Although Scarlett could see it clearly in the darkness, she still could not dodge that– too quickly.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it hit Scarlett in her chest and instantly pierced through it, even nailing a few other witches behind her. When it finally stopped, several witches had been pierced, and everyone finally saw what it was.
It was actually a spear.
