When that pale blue nova slowly rose within the Black Prison World.
Puji Island.
Outside Beta Town.
At the border where the Silent Forest met the Silent River.
Nikita stood on a high forked branch of a Soul Returning Poplar Tree, listening to the Faceless Little Banshee chatter in her ear about the Sea God Captain.
The Little Banshee was still wearing Zhu Si's delicate little face.
"Our captain likes wizards very much."
Zhuzhu sat on the Tree trunk, hugging her head and swinging her two short legs as she gazed mournfully at Beta Town, where flames soared into the sky. "If he finds out that a town with so many wizards living in it was burned down, he'll definitely be very sad."
"He only likes wizards' flesh and blood. He won't care about the houses in town," Nikita cut in mockingly.
At that moment, she was looking in the same direction as the Little Witch. But because she stood higher and could see farther, her view was much broader.
The black tide assaulting Beta Town consisted of Magical Creatures from the Silent Forest and strange species she had recruited from the Illusory Dream Realm. But when the unrest erupted from the edge of town, many masked Dark Wizards in black robes emerged from nowhere and joined the army under her command, looting Beta Town alongside them.
The warehouses of the Beta Town Chamber of Commerce were broken into one after another. Magic materials, herbs, animal hides, finished Alchemical Products, Potions, and more stored within were all packed up and taken away by the Black Robes. The wizards guarding the warehouses lay unconscious at the entrances, while many small merchants were dragged from their shops and forced to watch Hound Dou rush inside and set fires wherever they pleased.
