The night trembled through the earth!
The sound of a giant tower collapsing emanated from Nightfall City, the ground shook, the flames flickered, and even the darkness seemed to swirl in confusion.
"What's going on..." Ash and his companions heard the supplicant Nori in a daze, "This isn't what we agreed upon..."
Even without knowing the details of the deal between the Natural Sect and Silver Lamp (from Nori's words they could tell they almost got betrayed by Silver Lamp), Ash and the others could guess some clues—Silver Lamp's target was unknown, but what the Natural Sect wanted was nothing more than to breach Nightfall City's defenses with Silver Lamp's inside-outside collaboration.
But now it was night. Even if Silver Lamp made a move, the Natural Sect would find it hard to respond. Not to mention that they had just finished a siege battle, everyone was exhausted, and the Mages' Magic Power was nearly depleted, with even the Hosted God potentially not yet recovered.
