Vol 2 Chapter 148: Night of Despair
Mysterious Valley
Charred flames encircled the hellhounds as they ran, devouring the corpses in their path. After each of their footsteps, a small burning ember remained on the ground.
The entire valley, as far as the eye could see, was engulfed in burning flames, punctuated by occasional howls and cries of struggle.
Large numbers of the Hundred-Eyes Sect’s lower-ranking members lay dead. The Anty side fared no better; many soldiers could not withdraw from the valley in time and were ignited by the flames, falling where they stood.
At the center of the valley, within the magic array, the strange meteorite emitted streaks of light. The trajectories of those light strands were clearly visible as they pierced through obstacles along their paths.
Some hellhounds were struck; their bodies were instantly torn with multiple small holes, which slowly closed only after a long while.
Then the rays began to roam. Like precise engraving blades, they drew ever more complex patterns on the ground. Those patterns possessed an exquisite geometric beauty, orderly as if they were design blueprints, layering one atop another.
Half an hour later, the layers of deep-blue lines rose into place, forming a seventeen-layered, gigantic, intricate magic array. Each layer carried a distinct pattern of its own.
