The night-long battle finally ceased.
The sounds of slaughter on Gubier Island dissipated with the cold night wind, replaced by the surge of tide and the faint cries of seabirds.
Looking eastward, without knowing when, the sky had already turned pale with the coming dawn.
On Gubier Island, apart from some collapsed houses, it seemed to have reverted to its former everyday appearance.
But if one looked down from the sky, they could easily spot the conspicuous dark-brown "scar" toward the west side of the center of Gubier Island.
In the center of the scar, where Wan Lai'er had turned into tainted fog, three leading wizards gathered.
Potent Magic Power surged in this area, previously widespread dark-red fog had now been confined by the three wizards to an area of only about ten square meters.
After a while, the dark-red fog shrunk to the size of a baby's head, its color deepened, almost turning black.
