Chapter 123: Spread

Chapter 123: Spread

Zheng Yichen wanted to save people, but he was not brainlessly rushing to his death. He was very clear about his specific role at the moment. The power he could exert while hidden was greater than if he were exposed.

Even though Zheng Yichen’s combat power could surpass over seventy percent of the people here, among the remaining thirty percent, there were groups that could easily defeat him, groups that could fight him to a standstill, and groups that could overwhelm him in numbers, not even needing one-on-one fights… Faced with such a situation, Zheng Yichen reckoned that even if he charged in with six divine items equipped, he would still end up dead.

Inside the Witch Restricted Zone, the raging Black Mist soared to a certain intensity before suddenly stopping, followed immediately by an explosion and dispersion. It seemed to expand in range by dozens of times, but anyone who wasn’t blind could see that the concentration of the Black Mist storm plummeted straight down after the explosion and dispersal.

Sacrificing power to expand the range?

This kind of loss of control… it was more like his own power overflowing uncontrollably, Zheng Yichen thought silently as he watched the scene. A nuclear bomb was very powerful, but if its power were spread across the entire globe, how much would remain? The only truly deadly thing left would be the radiation. Wasn’t the rapidly spreading Black Mist now very similar to what he was thinking?

Even though the concentration had decreased, the power within the Black Mist still existed. Anyone who touched it would still rapidly decay and turn to dust. This thing could be seen as radiation. However, precisely because the concentration had dropped, Professionals who came into contact with the Black Mist could hold on a bit longer.

Looking up at the Black Moon in the sky, Zheng Yichen didn’t know what role that thing played in the process of the Witch’s Power going out of control. There were too few records about this aspect, and Zheng Yichen hadn’t been able to find any related information in the Underground Library. What he could see was that the appearance of the Black Moon accompanied the result of the Witch’s Power losing control.

At the same time, the more powerful the Witch’s Power, the clearer the Black Moon appeared, and the more strongly the White Moon’s radiance was affected. “An amplifying effect?”

Zheng Yichen stared at the spreading Black Mist, a look of confusion on his face. According to the Black Mist’s spreading speed, after expanding over tenfold, its concentration should have shrunk by the same multiple. But after the Black Mist’s concentration dropped to a certain point, it stopped decreasing. However, the spreading speed was completely unaffected and even kept speeding up as the range expanded. Then, the Black Mist’s concentration showed another slight decline…

The Black Moon in the sky became even clearer as the Black Mist spread.

A bright light appeared in his dark, shining eyes, rapidly spreading throughout his entire eyes. This wasn’t him using some Magic; instead, a substantial Light Screen appeared above the Witch Restricted Zone and the Campsite. The Light Screen was like a converter. The White Moon’s moonlight, which had been polluted into red, actually reverted to its original color after passing through the Light Screen!

Under the purified White Moonlight, the Black Mist’s spreading speed was forcibly suppressed. Although it was still spreading, the rate at which its concentration dropped began to increase visibly. This Black Mist was brought by Loris’s power. Zheng Yichen felt that if this Black Mist were completely cleared away, Loris wouldn’t have much power left. At the same time, he was also a bit puzzled. Since the Sanctuary Church had such methods, why did they need to gather so many people?

Couldn’t they just handle it themselves?

Another point: if the White Moon’s light was so amazing, then did that mean Witches were at their weakest during a full moon? Recalling past situations, Zheng Yichen and Loris had once squatted together on the castle roof watching the moon. At that time, he didn’t see her showing any discomfort; instead, she slept quite soundly. So, did the White Moon’s light only have such an effect during a particular period?

Zheng Yichen rested his chin on his hand and muttered. Under the White Moonlight’s illumination, the Black Mist’s spreading speed was suppressed, though it hadn’t yet reached the point of being pushed back. Zheng Yichen still had some time to observe. Previously, he had considered the idea that other Witches might also participate in this Witch Hunt. Now, after seeing the power displayed by the purified White Moonlight, he had discarded that thought.

In such an unfavorable environment, which Witch would have nothing better to do than come here to die?

The height of that Light Screen was constantly rising. The range of the White Moonlight also increased greatly with this height, soon spreading to where Zheng Yichen was. Well… even if other Witches really had ideas, under the coverage of such a massive range of White Moonlight, they would obediently abandon any thoughts. This place now was truly… the Witch Restricted Zone.

“That old man…” Zheng Yichen narrowed his eyes and stared at an old man in the Campsite who was emitting light. Besides him, there were many other people in similar states in other places. These people were spread throughout the entire Campsite, and without exception, they were all members of the Sanctuary Church. “Forget it, old man, you’re too old. Let’s pick someone else.”

The Light Screen in the sky was probably related to these people. So, trying to take them out might affect the Light Screen. Zheng Yichen muttered, pulling out a thick tube about three and a half meters long from a pouch he wore around his neck. One side of the tube popped out a sight. The crosshairs locked onto a target that was like a light bulb. “Take this Missile from me!”

Boom—

Zheng Yichen’s hovering body shook violently. A Missile shot out of the barrel, trailing a long tail flame as it swiftly flew toward the Campsite.

Clang~

After throwing away the tube on his shoulder that was still steaming, Zheng Yichen rubbed his claws. The scene of carrying a cannon tube to blast someone, only seen in movies, was just like this in the Otherworld. It was just a bit hot to handle after firing. Zheng Yichen was very far from the Campsite, but the Otherworld version Missile meant that such a distance was nothing. The farther the distance, the faster the Missile flew!!

Now he stared intently at the Missile gradually approaching the Campsite…

“Huh? What’s that?” As the Missile approached, some people noticed the commotion. But with sufficient distance for acceleration, the Missile’s speed had reached a crazy level. Even if noticed, it might not be directly caught. Most of them could only see the tail flame left by the Missile.

However, the targeted person clearly saw the Missile coming straight at him. Looking at the shark head pattern drawn on the Missile’s nose, it had to be said that having such a pattern could indeed have a frightening effect, provided one could see the Missile. Of course, if looking directly, seeing it was quite easy, but after seeing it, there was no “and then.”

The Sanctuary Church member locked onto by the Missile looked slightly startled but quickly regained composure. He stretched out a hand in front of him, and part of the light enveloping him split off, forming a barrier before him!
