There are always signs before a blizzard, and Wizard Reed felt he had given enough warning. Now, those on the mountain—whether hidden or exposed, whether lying dormant or already stirring—will have to endure the storm he is about to unleash. He must complete his mission; he has no other path to take.
All that should be revealed has been revealed! Of the remaining less than two-thirds, he must bring it all out... In his mind, those few so-called shortcuts must be fully unleashed as well. The current situation does not allow him to hide anything anymore.
He is not stirring up the storm just to fulfill a mission; he will also prove himself. He will show these impressive figures how a Dark Wizard can shake this place into chaos. He will prove that the Power of Darkness will be the ultimate power to rule the world!
So, what he is about to do next will take a long ti to prepare. He won't carelessly release the Malice Spirit Entities he has gathered with great difficulty, as he did just now. Like preparing ticulously before climbing the mountain, he will shroud this place in sheer, fearso darkness.
Wizard Reed closed his eyes. Hidden deeply, he is not worried about being found; even if he is found, he still has ways to escape. The Guru Mountain scroll—he must take it with him, so he will spare no effort to unleash the final madness.
Just wait, you feeble n, quivering in the face of darkness. You will endure the baptism of darkness, ultimately becoming Slaves of Darkness.
Wizard Reed's heart had gradually lost its original solitude, replaced by a continuous surge of resentnt. He was completely dominated by darkness...
In the monts before a blizzard, no one feels excited by the oppressive atmosphere; instead, many find themselves sinking into a state of listless powerlessness. Kadi suffered from it severely. He could no longer feel the usual freshness and spirit of the Moonflow Stream. Normally, nights here should resonate with unending songs that not only soothe the mind but also help one forget the day's troubles.
But where was it now? He couldn't see the moon's reflection; vast dark clouds pressed down from above. It should be a night with the moon hanging high. Speaking of which, Kadi felt that ever since entering the Slumber Room, he had never truly experienced daylight, living entirely in a perpetual, gloomy dimness. Igor had created a sun once before, but that, after all, was artificial and couldn't be considered real. Without the moon, there was no true light. Even with the white snow reflecting what little there was, the surroundings remained dismally unlit.
It seed darkness occupied everything. The falling snowflakes were different from before, though Kadi couldn't pinpoint how. He just felt these snowflakes no longer danced; they seed to fall rely for the sake of falling.
Regardless, the atmosphere here was oppressive now, as if Moonflow Stream were hiding sothing. Kadi would normally have been thrilled to see Kevin. But now, unfortunately, Kadi felt no excitent at all. He seed defeated by Moonflow Stream's current state; he didn't want to see it like this.
Moonflow Stream without its songs was utterly desolate. Thinking of this desolation, Kadi couldn't help but shiver. Are we about to run into so kind of trouble again? he secretly wondered.
Kadi quickly observed his surroundings. I'm always so slow on the uptake, he thought. If even I sense sothing abnormal about a place, it must have definitely entered an unusual state, and everyone else surely noticed it before . However, when he managed to shift his gaze to the others, he found this wasn't the case at all. In the dimness, thanks to Stan Sol's Battle Pet Fiery Blaze, one could still make out so details.
Whether it was Igor, Kevin, or even those from the Alchemy Workshop who had climbed the mountain, they were all captivated by the new creature Stan Sol had captured. They were engrossed in studying it, discussing it from ti to ti, and paying no heed whatsoever to Moonflow Stream's abnormal state.
Am I overthinking this? Kadi scratched his head. No, I can't be. I know every nook and cranny of Guru Mountain; how could I be overthinking? Moonflow Stream is definitely not its usual self. No matter how powerful an intruder is, they couldn't possibly transform a mountain's inherent nature, right? Besides, this is Moonflow Stream, a place where the singing always continues as long as there's moonlight. Even though thick dark clouds are shrouding the moon now, moonlight can't be completely blocked. So, the singing here shouldn't stop. But now... the singing is intermittent, like a mournful dirge!
Kadi felt he couldn't let this continue. He had to inform everyone that things had changed here; it could very well be a trap set by the enemy.
"Hey!" Kadi shouted at the top of his lungs. This is the only crude way to snap them out of it, he thought. They're all srized by that new creature. I don't have any other special skills, but causing a ruckus is my specialty. Only by doing this can I get their attention. Only then can I voice my concerns.
His loud cry successfully drew everyone's attention.
"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Kevin was the first to rush over. He touched Kadi's head, showing his usual concern for the little fellow's every move.
"Don't you guys notice that Moonflow Stream has changed?" Kadi was surprised. How can they not sense anything, not even Kevin?
"Hmm, yes, this place just went through a fight—not a huge one, but a fight nonetheless. It's certainly not as peaceful as before," Kevin said dismissively. He thought it was perfectly normal. After all, the recent battle hadn't exactly been minor; Thunder and Electricity had struck multiple tis. How could the area not be in disarray?
"No, you don't understand what I an!" Kadi was getting anxious, unsure how to express himself clearly.
"What are you trying to say?" Igor also walked over at this point. Frankly, Igor had never seen Kadi so agitated.
"The song! Its signature song!" Kadi exclaid loudly. "It's intermittent, as if it's afraid sothing is coming!"
"The song?" Hearing Kadi say this, Kevin and the others grew thoughtful. Moonflow Stream was indeed renowned for its song. Now, as they focused on listening to it again, they finally realized sothing was indeed wrong.
The singing had beco very weak and sporadic, sothing that had never happened before. Even during the earlier attacks of Thunder and Electricity, the singing hadn't been this feeble... This singing seed to be evading sothing; the lody was broken... No, it was trembling, as if... as if the songs themselves were dreading sothing!
