Chapter 126 The Thunder Witch
The moon was gradually covered by dark clouds.
The shrine behind the Himejima family's residence.
A married woman was sitting in the doorway, with a little toddler perched on her lap, and an oil lamp lit beside her.
The candlelight cast their shadows.
They are Himejima Akari and her daughter Himejima Akeno.
This moment is like a warm and inviting painting.
As the breeze blows.
Himejima Akari seemed to sense something. Looking at the moonless sky, she murmured to herself, "So it's finally here?"
She gently patted Himejima Akeno's back.
I want to remember what she looks like.
After a while, she waved to the side.
A little red imp followed by many little green imps floated over.
"I'm leaving Xiao Zhu in your care. Take her away from this place and protect her well."
As Himejima Akari spoke, she placed the sleeping Akeno into the hands of the little red demon.
The little red devil is holding little Juno.
Her face showed deep reluctance, yet she nodded firmly.
So he took Little Zhu and the other kids and left the area, running outside.
She gazed silently at the sky, a storm brewing.
At the foot of the mountain, a group of people led by the Grand Elder arrived and surrounded the area.
The Grand Elder looked at the mountaintop with a somewhat complicated expression.
Has it finally come to this?
Little Zhu Li, the family's honor cannot be tarnished. I'm sorry.
"Elder, the clansmen are all ready."
The elder nodded as he listened to the report.
He turned around and said, "When we go up there, give it your all!"
"clear!"
Why would the Grand Elder say that?
Of course, Himejima Akari is the best of the previous generation.
If she hadn't married the heretic Baichiu, a fallen angel executive, she might have been the next head of the Himejima family.
But there are no "what ifs" in life.
Himejima Akari ultimately broke the family rules, and it was the family's mercy that allowed her to live for so long.
It wasn't that they couldn't defeat Baiqiu, but rather that they were afraid of starting a war between humans and other races.
The Grand Elder waited quietly for a while before speaking.
"Set off!"
"yes!"
The elder led his clansmen, carrying torches, and headed up the mountain.
At the mountaintop, Himejima Akari looked up at the sky.
Then, looking in the direction where Akeno Himejima had left, he murmured to himself, "Akeno, run, run to a place where your clansmen can't find you, and live happily ever after."
At that moment, a hole appeared in the sky.
The full moon shone through the opening onto Himejima Akari.
This moment is like a beautiful painting.
She was bathed in moonlight, a smile on her lips; it seemed the moon was also preparing to see her off.
She raised her finger, and arcs of electricity flickered at the fingertip.
Therefore, the two elements of lightning and light within Himejima Akeno come from her and her husband, respectively.
Himejima Akari brought out a small table and began making tea.
Time passed slowly, and then the steps lit up with firelight; they had arrived.
Immediately afterward, dozens of clansmen, led by the elder, appeared at the main gate of the shrine.
Seeing the familiar faces, Himejima Akari smiled.
Upon seeing Himejima Akari, the Himejima family members nearby prepared to rush forward, but were stopped by the eldest elder.
Looking at the child he had raised with his own hands, the elder still felt a pang of reluctance.
He walked over and sat down facing her.
Neither of them spoke, and the old man watched the young woman slowly brew tea.
After a while.
"Please have some tea."
"Um."
The elder picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
"It's been so long since I've had it."
He sighed, then put down his teacup and looked at Zhu Li before him. "Zhu Li, do you still remember the clan rules?"
"The Himejima family does not allow intermarriage with outsiders."
"If you remember, why do you knowingly commit the same mistake?"
The elder's gaze was serious, while Himejima Akari smiled slightly, her eyes filled with tenderness and determination.
It's as if they said nothing, yet it's as if they said everything.
So this is love?
However, to outsiders, it's simply a case of a sadist and a masochist complementing each other.
The elder sighed and looked at her with a serious expression.
"Zhu Li, you are the pride of the family, but your behavior has crossed the line of the family rules. The family cannot sit idly by."
Himejima Akari nodded gently. "I understand. I'm willing to bear the consequences, but please let Akeno go. She's innocent."
The elder remained silent for a moment. This was impossible. If they were to abandon the child to save her, there was still some hope.
"I'm sorry, maybe it's possible if it's you, but not for others."
"I see."
As she spoke, Himejima Akari smiled helplessly.
Hopefully, the kid can leave with Akeno soon, so let's stall for time.
"Excuse me, sir!"
"Come on, little Zhu Li."
In an instant, flames and lightning shot into the sky, and thunder roared across the heavens.
This is the true value of the Thunder Witch.
In the sky, the interplay of thunder and fire was like a dazzling firework exploding in the air.
Startled awake by the thunder, Xiao Zhu was somewhat flustered.
Finding herself being carried away from the Himejima clan's territory by her mother's little devil, she looked up at the lightning and flames in the sky. Although she was only eight years old, Akeno seemed to understand something.
Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
Ye Xiao stood on the ground, arms crossed, quietly watching Xiao Zhu Nai. Several members of the Himejima family followed behind her, but Ye Xiao did not make a move.
After all, Rias should be given a chance to shine.
Then he looked up at the direction where the fireworks were going off.
"It's started? We'll have to get through this."
As Ye Xiao spoke, he sent Little Zhu Nai's current location to Grayfia, instructing her to bring Rias to seamlessly connect with her and bring her back.
They then quickly rushed towards the battlefield.
Upon receiving the message, Gurefia smiled as she looked at the two little ones in front of her.
"Little Rias, would you like a familiar? I've discovered a child with great potential."
"Really? Sister Gurefia?"
"certainly."
"Let's go!!"
After confirming everything, Grayfia informed Ajaka and Serjax, and then took Rias to the human world.
Xiao Yexiao, on the other hand, was detained by Ajieka.
In Ajaka's words, "You haven't met your learning goals for today, yet you still want to go out and play?"
Have you learned the "Overlord Formula"?
Didn't learn it?
Then you can teach your brother until he learns it!
The situation at the summit is quite intense at this moment.
The shrine was destroyed, the earth cracked, and the mountaintop was in ruins.
In the ruins, many people lay on the ground, stunned by electric shock.
They could have killed them outright, but they spared their lives instead. How merciful!
The others who could stand were throwing skills at Himejima Akari.
sky.
Himejima Shuri's lightning collided with the Grand Elder's Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire, exploding like beautiful fireworks.
The Vermilion Bird's inextinguishable flame burned on her body.
Soon, she lost consciousness and fell to the ground like a bird with broken wings.
