The sacred day had arrived.
Black Fire Innovation was preparing to offer a sacrifice to the Dark Flame.
Huang Feng was adorned with a floral wreath beforehand, several silent women coated her face with prayers written in Secret Script, a powerful curse taking effect on Huang Feng to ensure she would be a suitable vessel for Blackfire.
She felt like a doll, being watched, being carved.
On the way to the Island of Darkness, Huang Feng had been crying the whole time, tears silently falling.
She didn't know why, but when the island truly appeared before her eyes, she stopped crying, replaced by a deathly, desolate despair.
This island was located on the outskirts of the Taiya Archipelago, at the center of the Mysterious Vortex, with a towering peak at the very center surrounded by lush woodland, emitting an air of death.
On the Island of Darkness, a dense formation of "Spearman" type robots stood guard in rows.
