Night of the Broken Gliph

The lady dressed in red reached out her right hand, a bloody glow emitting from her palm and solidifying. 

It was a blood-coloured double-sided spear that was the width of her palm with pointy spearheads. The bright red spear in her hands and cloak danced fiercely in the air; the lady standing on the tower resembled a war goddess! 

She looked up, her eyes filled with murderous intent which seemed to materialise. Her energliph lit up, giving off a domineering aura that shot for the black flame. 

The crowd was in shock.  

“Legends have it that the three great institutions have certain elites guarding them. It’s real!  

“Could… could that lady be the legendary Blood Dragon Fairy, Lung Wai Yuet!?” 

“I have no idea who she is, but that energliph… She’s definitely five-chambered!”  

The crowd watched the blinding white light fill the night sky as the blood-red pillar  shot towards the black flame. The black figure lowered his head to meet the pair of determined eyes.

Luckily, the gliph Old Ngai formed around the city protected South Imperial City from damage. Numerous waterfalls surged like poisonous snakes, ready to coil around and bite the black flame. 

The crowd was only able to see the situation once the shockwaves dispersed. The lady and her spear was up against a similarly coloured sickle. It was just like those used for farming, only a few times larger. On its blade were pitch-black flames that looked like screaming, tormented souls! 

The figure in black held the sickle-like a grim reaper who harvested the living’s souls.  

“What is that!” The gliphers with weaker mental states immediately felt nauseous at this scene.

The lady had a grave expression as she growled. The white light around her got increasingly bright and gathered on her weapon. 

“Solar Destruction!”  

The black flame fought her closely while speaking up in disdain. “I detest nothing more than this accursed glow!”  

He waved the sickle in his hands slightly, the deadly souls on the blade leaving illusions behind. The spear and the illusion met and both dispersed.

Szz… 

The lady’s expression changed as she retreated instantly. A sizzling black flame appeared where she was barely a moment ago. It gave off no smoke nor anything, as if it naturally existed there. However, her face fell once she took a closer inspection at the flame  

She might not understand much about the flame, but at her rank, she could sense its gliphility, and she realised that the flame was powered by death energy. which used living things as fuel and burned any living things it touched.  

What a sinister flame! Even so, she could remain calm as she knew she was in South Imperial City. Her belief was proven when she sensed two powerful energliph auras closing in; they were both elites of her rank.   

Now, the necrocultivator was surrounded by four powerful cultivators.  

“Admit your fate.” Old Ngai stood in the air with water vapour surrounding him. A closer look would reveal the gliph strings under the water vapour.  

身前形成千山萬水的水霧，便是危老紋力化紋的紋線！

The mountain range in front of him was water vapour made of his very gliph strings—this was how powerful a thousand-gliphic gliphist was.  

“You’re currently in South Imperial City, the graveyard of all trespassers.” 

On the other hand, the lady didn’t say a word but stared at the figure in black calmly. As a member of the Metallic Blood War Gate, she got to the rank she was today by fighting with her life on the line, and she disliked speaking nonsense while fighting. 

So that was what she did. The blood-coloured spear in her hands buzzed and shone brightly; she was storing up her energy.  

Sensing the two other auras, the black flame’s laughter echoed. “Do you really think I came unprepared?”  

Old Ngai’s heart fell, but he said nothing. His waterfalls covered more than half of the South Imperial City, ready to attack!  

At the same time, a powerful wave cracked the skies above South Imperial City. An intense aura of death energy hissed among the clouds.

Boom!  

Moments later, a crack appeared out of nowhere, turning into a three-metre tall door in the blink of an eye.  It was a bizarre sight, all the more so when the paper door radiated the atmosphere of a gate leading straight to Hell.  

“South Imperial City? Number one city in the world? What a joke. This is just the beginning.”   

“The world will belong to necrogliphism, and only those that follow us will survive. Death awaits all those who resist!”  

The black flame sneered and dashed towards the doors with a black trail behind him.  

“Don’t think of escaping!” Old Ngai shouted as the mountain range shot to the flame to suppress it. The lady turned into a red light and dashed towards the flame simultaneously.  

“Hehehe! Hahaha!” Eerie laughter echoed throughout South Imperial City, turning the moonless city into a ghost town. 

The mountain range and blood spear shot towards the black figure, But even the two attacks weren’t enough to stop him. As he got closer to the door, it creaked open, revealing a hole that was darker than night.  

Without hesitation, the black flame plunged into the door, which closed after him. The door disappeared the next instant, leaving behind only his echoey laughter. 

Old Ngai stared furiously at where the paper door disappeared. At the same time, the water vapour around him dispersed. With the gliph formation around South Imperial City, he could tell that the figure had indeed left. 

What was that! This was his territory where not even a thousand-gliphic gliphist could enter and leave as they pleased.  Which means… that isn’t gliphism!  

The gorgeous lady wore a cold expression, and with a random wave of her red spear, the metallic smell of blood spread everywhere. 

“Old Man Chan and Man Shu, what is the meaning of this!” She snapped.   

Two figures appeared at the same time. One of them was a middle-aged gentleman in a long robe, while the other was an elder with a rosy face who resembled an immortal. 

The elder had a scroll embroidered on his robe, while the middle-aged man had stars on his. None of them were usually bothered by worldly affairs, yet they had gathered today. 

The four of them were, respectively:  

Metallic Blood War Gate, Metallic Blood Giant Tower’s Tower Master, Lung Wai Yuet.

Stars Unite Educational Centre, Star Unite Lake’s Lake Master, Chan Chung Ching.

Great Book Academy, Great Book Pavilion’s Master, Elder Man Shu. 

Finally, the guardian of the Evergreen Palace and the thousand-gliphic gliphist of The Thousand Mountain and Stream formation, Old Ngai. 

They were basically the most powerful cultivators in the South!
