Chapter 1317: The Low Roar of the Great Crow
One second of time is so brief.
For humans, it was just a blink of an eye, a moment so brief that it seemed imperceptible.
But for Flora, who sealed the Great Crow, that one second felt as long as a lifetime.
When the fresh blood, which was the life essence of the teacher and their disciples, gathered towards herself, Flora sensed that something was wrong.
This was not like a seal spell, but more like a forbidden technique that required sacrificing a large number of lives to achieve.
Why didn't she notice it earlier?
With their power, it was impossible to truly seal the power of the Great Crow.
It was a Natural Disaster Monster of the legend-ranked, an embodiment of calamity that had already destroyed numerous worlds.
Even if they gathered the entire world's power, it would still be impossible to defeat this black calamitous crow.
It was one of the incarnations of nightmares, a calamity that came with the scent of death in the world.
Its heart cannot be sealed by Flora's teacher or disciples!
So, what is this spell?
Why did Great Crow's heart suddenly shatter and fly towards her?
The forbidden magic that had already been activated was prepared specifically for this moment. She could even see countless droplets of blood dancing around her, and then all of them flowed into her heart in a single breath.
In just one second, the ritual was complete.
She contained the essence of the Great Crow Heart, mixed with the blood of her teacher and all the witch disciples who studied with her teacher.
No, it's not just that!
There are other things mixed in, things that the Great Crow had just devoured and hadn't fully digested yet, the essence of the sentient beings of this world.
Besides her, there were no other sentient beings left in God's Domain.
Great Crow, who sensed the smell of death engulfing the world, bestowed upon them an equal and definitive end, proclaiming the death of the entire world.
Whether it be birds in the sky, fish in the ocean, lush green trees, or even the underground ecosystem, Great Crow destroyed them all, turning the whole world into a lifeless land.
Are there still people alive?
Yes, Flora could sense that three immensely powerful and terrifying forces were surrounding this God's Domain, exerting immense pressure on Great Crow.
It was them who shattered Great Crow's heart, and in collaboration with the forbidden technique prepared by Teacher Flora, they blended Great Crow's heart essence with Flora's own body.
Then, as if it was always within reach, the "door" that had been touched more than once was pushed open by Flora!
With the complete fusion of heart essence and Flora, Great Crow sprouted black wings on Flora's back and positioned its own coordinates above her.
This is the manifestation of being chosen, the thought processes of Nightmare World creatures are beyond human comprehension.
Despite falling into a trap set by humans and enduring the combined attacks of three Great Witches, even to the point where its heart was once shattered, for Great Crow, which doesn't understand the concept of life and death, these injuries were nothing at all.
It fixed its heart, and it only took one second.
However, Teacher Flora's forbidden spell worked at this time, allowing Flora to use the power of the Great Crow to open the door to the Dimension Witch's path.
Actually, the plan is almost finished here.
Even in the plan of the three Great Witches, they never really expected to catch the Great Crow, as this Natural Disaster Monster is almost unbeatable.
The plan proposed by Flora's teacher, which was unanimously approved by the three Great Witches, is to use the entire world as bait, briefly capture the Great Crow's heart, and use the power of the Great Crow to help Flora reach the legend-ranked.
Even if the plan fails, Flora will not be in danger, as the three Great Witches will protect her life and wait for the next appearance of the Great Crow.
No one knows what happened during that one second of fusion time, why the Great Crow, who should have only overlapped with Flora for one second, didn't undo the fusion state.
After the forbidden spell was cast, the three Great Witches in the void looked at each other with strange eyes.
"Strange... why hasn't the Great Crow flown away?"
"Flora, did you succeed in advancing?"
"If she succeeded, she should have declared herself as the Great Witch."
"Today is supposed to be the day when Dimension Witch Flora is born."
Three Great Witches, who have existed for thousands of years, surrounded the Great Crow. They all watched Flora in the Great Crow Heart area.
"Why... is it like this?"
Flora should have been more joyful than anyone else when she opened the long-awaited door. It was her goal that she had always pursued.
Dream.
Future.
Hope.
Once you become a Great Witch, you can truly be free and explore the stars, no longer bound by God's Domain.
This has always been her ideal pursuit.
The vastness of the starry sky made her want to see more worlds, so she has been working hard until now.
But why, now that this dream is about to come true, is she unable to hold back her tears?
"Ga!" A cold and heartless cry echoed in her ear, it was the ominous low roar of the Great Crow.
The Natural Disaster Monster from Nightmare World chose Flora as its host after she opened the door, merging with her.
Nobody knows why the Great Crow made this choice, even if it meant sacrificing the entire God's Domain. Even with the help of three Great Witches, the most they could do was to allow the Great Crow's heart to merge with Flora for a second.
No one expected that the Great Crow, who fused with Flora for the first time, would actively choose to take up residence inside Flora's body.
Even Flora herself doesn't know the reason behind it.
The Great Crow, who doesn't know what it means to be alive or dead, is a strange and eternal disaster that cannot be destroyed. It can be seen as one of the embodiments of Nightmare World's will.
Flora, who is inhabited by the Great Crow, landed on the ground feeling lost and confused. She looked at the world ruins filled with devastation, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Everything has been destroyed.
The familiar world she knew, and the people she recognized, have all been completely ruined.
As the sun sets, only the city inhabited by the witches remains with a few traces of civilization in God's Domain. Everything else has been destroyed by the Great Crow.
"Ha... Hahaha..."
In that moment, in front of the three Great Witches, on the already destroyed world ruins, Flora laughed.
"So... this is how it is..."
"I... am... Dusk Witch... Flora!"
