Chapter 272: Chapter 272 Decisive
“Deals were taking place in the dark, but the outside world painted a different picture.”
Listening to the Witch’s calm and somber recounting, Tang Qi nodded solemnly, agreeing to her entrustnt.
After receiving Tang Qi’s promise, the Witch’s face finally showed a bright smile.
Before closing her eyes, she handed a colorful wooden box to Tang Qi, slowly saying, “The contents of this box can answer all your doubts.”
As her words fell, the Witch called “Elena” carried her last smile and closed her eyes.
She died!
Together with the other two, they turned into light points and dissipated in the living room of Sally’s house.
Not long ago, the living room, which had been ssy and foul-slling, now regained tranquility.
If it weren’t for the wooden box in Tang Qi’s hands and the black wizard robe nearby on the floor, Sally and her mother might have thought this was all a dream.
However, it clearly wasn’t.
From the recent changes in Sally’s mother, it was evident she had t the three witches, including Elena, and perhaps through so transcendent ans reunited with the Witch Leader.
More than a decade ago, it was she who stepped in to help Sally seal the Doomsday Magic.
The events that just happened, the horrific Skin Stripping Monster, the Black Wizard, and the spine-chilling Black Goo Man, all verified the witches’ words.
Sally might just be the “Daughter of Destiny” spoken of by the witches.
According to the witches, once the Witch Leader falls, Sally’s existence would beco visible to all the “Cursed Monsters.”
The Black Goo Man, exhibiting strange powers, was just one of them.
Even the Harmon family and the Immortal Council were among those Cursed Monsters.
What choice was there?
It seed there was only one.
To go to the so-called Land of Termination, et the Witch Leader, and seek a solution to end all this.
“Tang Qi!”
Sally’s magic power was gradually recovering, the blush on her face not completely gone, but her eyes filled with astonishnt and doubt.
The girl, because of contact with Tang Qi, saw another world for the first ti.
And due to the secondary personality and Doomsday Magic within her, was taught the “Word Spirit Spell” by Tang Qi.
Just as prophesied, Sally regarded Tang Qi as her ntor.
In many dreams, she dreamt of going on various magical adventures with her ntor, as fascinating and exciting as depicted in those romantic fantasy novels and movies.
Now, the dream had beco a reality, and Sally felt a trace of panic.
Because she had to face a cruel truth!
According to the arrangent of the witches, Tang Qi, the young Son of the lting Furnace, would escort Sally, the “Daughter of Destiny,” to the Land of Termination.
This ant that Sally had to part from her mother.
In the girl’s life of more than a decade, such a thing had never happened.
Almost imdiately, her eyes welled up with tears, and upon Tang Qi nodding, confirming her inner thoughts, she instantly hugged her significantly overweight mother tightly.
The scene was both bizarre and warmly sorrowful.
Tang Qi didn’t say anything, quietly walking away, leaving a mont of ti and space for the soon-to-be-separated mother and daughter.
While walking, Tang Qi’s gaze fell on the wooden box in his hands.
It seed like an antique, filled with the Gypsy’s passionate yet mysterious style.
However, it was no Curio.
Tang Qi did not open it imdiately, instead, he contemplated the entire matter in his mind, reviewing the whole situation once more.
“Let’s not ntion the so-called prophecy for now, the Witch Leader began searching for the Daughter of Destiny over a decade ago, and she has many allies, including nurous cursed monsters, and so of those families from the Immortal Council.”
“Are these monsters seeking the Daughter of Destiny to lift the curse?”
“Then what exactly is the curse?”
“Was Doomsday Magic choosing Sally as its host random? Or because she is the Daughter of Destiny?”
…
Tang Qi realizes that the information he holds is clearly not sufficient, and as he starts to speculate, a thick fog of ambiguity arises, preventing him from discerning the truth.
At this mont, his Special Ability is also unable to exert much influence.
However, there are so facts that Tang Qi can ascertain beforehand.
For instance, the unforeseen disaster that befell Sally and him, suddenly having to face formidable enemies, and apparently a large group of them.
Those Black Goo n who can stir desires and devour Life Force belong to a family, and that family is part of the so-called “Immortal Council,” which, in turn, is just a fraction of the nurous cursed monsters.
Tang Qi can almost visualize, if what the three witches said is true, how perilous it would be for Sally once the intervention of the Witch Group ceases.
Sally would then be vulnerably exposed to these monsters, and by then, Lucky Body, Curse of Misfortune, Word Spirit Spell… these might all be insufficient to preserve Sally’s life.
Tang Qi decides to escort Sally away, not just because of the imminent danger surrounding her.
There is another reason that isn’t exactly a reason, although their acquaintance was brief.
But Tang Qi does not believe the “Witch Group” is entirely from the Good Camp; even if they truly are, they are not without their own agendas.
Given that the three witches, Elena included, knew of their impending deaths yet were willing to co, it unquestionably demonstrates that the Witch Group was aware of Tang Qi’s existence and also knew of his identity as a lter Wizard.
Tang Qi suspects that had he reacted differently, it probably wouldn’t be long before the news that the lter Wizard lineage has reappeared on Blue Star would spread across the entire Transcendent World of the Federation.
Along with that, might even circulate Tang Qi’s high-resolution picture.
Based on these considerations, Tang Qi quickly reaches a decision.
He opts not to disturb Sally and her mother but plans to give them one more day.
This ti would be sufficient for Tang Qi to handle so matters in sser City.
After all, he has “operated” in sser City for a while and has substantial experience; so resources need to be properly managed.
Such as his real estate!
Or, his consulting position at the police station!
Thinking of this, Tang Qi suddenly rembers Stanna, whom he had parted ways with not long ago.
“Buzz”
He looks up, just in ti to see the window of Sally’s house’s living room; the night had unknowingly dissolved, replaced by the slowly rising sun.
Night had passed.
If nothing unexpected happened, Stanna should have left sser City by now, heading to Secret Phoenix City, the most crucial and prominent city in Secret Phoenix State, a significant presence throughout the entire Federation.
Though they had just bid farewell, it turns out they would be leaving sser City one after the other.
And Tang Qi thinks, since he has left sser City, he probably won’t return anyti soon.
Given the chance, after resolving the crisis, Tang Qi might also choose Secret Phoenix City as his next destination.
“It seems, my intuition was right once again.”
Tang Qi suddenly said.
ps: The transitional chapter is necessary to write, will soon enter the next stage of the plot.
