Chapter 245: The Castle's Last Secret, the Beautiful and Powerful Witch! (5200)_2
Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then nodded.
With a wave of his hand, everyone prepared for an attack.
And just at that moment,
everyone suddenly noticed that the sorrow on the woman's face disappeared.
The corners of her mouth slowly curled into an enchanting smile.
A smile bloomed in an instant, bringing with it an enthralling beauty!
Yet, beneath this beautiful smile,
Cao Xing only felt a great sense of crisis!
He ordered, "Retreat!"
The next moment,
a terrifying black gas burst suddenly from the witch's body!
"Boom!"
The black gas swept across instantly, shattering the walls.
Everyone was thrown back dozens of meters, crashing heavily onto the hall's floor.
Fortunately, they each had a layer of Holy Shield on them and suffered no damage.
"Damn! So strong?"
Cao Xing was instantly astonished.
At this moment,
the eerie woman, her red robe fluttering without wind, slowly levitated into the air.
The top floor of the castle was swept by a terrifying airflow!
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
The airflow howled through, mixed with strong black gas!
At this moment, the black gas seeped through the castle's top-floor windows and spread out.
In an instant, the entire castle seemed to be enveloped by the black gas.
Moreover, the terrifying Dark Aura began to spread from the castle into the forest.
And all of them became shrouded in the Dark Aura.
Instantly, Cao Xing felt a strong sense of nausea and dizziness!
[You have entered the Dark Aura Domain, all attributes reduced by 20%, and every 10 seconds you will be afflicted by 1 layer of Dark Seed, reaching 10 layers will induce a state of Chaos, 100 layers and you will completely lose reason…]
[Ding! Due to your Spiritual Resistance being over 50%, you are immune to the invasion of Dark Seed!]
…
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing was instantly shocked.
"So this is the source of the Dark Aura in the forest!"
"Under this aura, not only will attributes be greatly reduced, but you'll also be seeded with Dark Seed!"
"When the layers of Dark Seed become too many, you'll not only fall into a state of Chaos but will also go mad on the spot, becoming like those boars outside."
"But we all have the [Faith Thought] skill, increasing our Spiritual Resistance, so we're immune to the invasion of Dark Seed."
Cao Xing felt an infinite sense of relief in his heart.
Thankfully, he had the [Eternal Power] talent, otherwise just this Dark Aura Domain would leave one feeling powerless.
At this moment, the Dark Witch flying in mid-air was gazing at Cao Xing and his companions with a cold and emotionless look.
That gaze was even more indifferent than when looking at ants.
As if a lofty Divine was inspecting the human world.
And when she noticed that Cao Xing and his companions showed no abnormality under the Dark Aura,
a hint of surprise flashed in her cold eyes.
"A group of ants can actually resist my power?"
"Interesting, no wonder you've made it this far."
Cao Xing saw she did not attack immediately.
"Who are you?"
He wanted to gather more information.
"Me?"
The witch pointed to herself, her eyes still bearing a trace of cold indifference.
"Seems it's been too long, and the world no longer knows my name?"
"But it doesn't matter. Once I fully occupy this Half-Elf's consciousness, and channel all my power from that damned place, the world will be destroyed in my wrath!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing quickly analyzed in his mind.
Clearly, the entity possessing the witch had quite a significant background.
But with too little information, Cao Xing couldn't discern her true identity.
Thus, he made a speechless expression, "Boasting, huh. Even an Ancient Giant Dragon can only destroy a Continent, and you claim to destroy the world."
"You think you're more formidable than an Ancient Giant Dragon?"
The Dark Witch's face momentarily stiffened.
"Destroying the world is hardly difficult, once I reappear..."
Cao Xing seemed to see through her lack of confidence, "Haha, you really are boasting."
"If you're really that powerful, why have I never heard of your name?"
Hearing this, the Dark Witch's face turned grim, "Heh... Little one, don't think to extract information from my mouth."
"But even though my power can't rival an Ancient Giant Dragon."
"Handling a few of you is still a breeze."
"Now, have you thought of how you want to die?"
At that moment, an unprecedented hostility erupted from the witch.
Cao Xing even felt a sense of danger from it!
As the opponent was about to attack, he quickly glanced at the witch's attributes.
