Chapter 2379 "Light Bulb Man"
As soon as the figure transformed into a human form of white light touched the door of the shop facing the street, the door immediately melted into light.
The silver cat heard the frightened cries coming from the store and knew that there were other people in the store.
The cat jumped off the roof lightly, and before it hit the ground, it turned into a red light stream made up of red butterflies and flew into the door of the tea shop with a big hole in it.
The yellow moonlight transformed into a blade of light that flew out directly from the butterfly, but passed through the white light figure and left a huge slashing mark on the wall of the shop. If it weren't for Shade's strong control over the "Moonlight Slash", the wall might have ceased to exist after this blow.
The fat owner of the store had already fled upstairs by now, and Shade, who had regained his human form, could see clearly what it was.
Its entire body was glowing, and it was no longer recognizable as a human. Nothing could be seen under the light, and the only difference from a normal human body was that this thing had an abnormally long neck and an abnormally large head.
His head drooped slightly due to excessive weight, and the light on his head was brighter than other parts of his body, as if there was a gas bulb hanging at the end of his neck.
Although Shade's attack just now was completely useless to it, it still gave up chasing the fat boss, turned around and pounced on Shade with open arms.
Xia De stood still, and when the white light figure approached him, the "darkness" activated by the "Disaster Card: Shadow of the Deep Sea" enveloped the two "people". The strange glowing figure was immediately swallowed by the darkness and then completely disappeared.
"A new monster?"
After the human figure disappeared, only some tiny diamond-shaped translucent crystals with a faint glow were left on the ground. Those crystals were of various colors. If they were not glowing, Shade would even think that they were a handful of colorful candies.
The luminous diamond-shaped crystals bear traces of elements, and are obviously precious materials that will appear whenever a major event occurs.
Of course, the witches on the ship had already taken action. When Shade boarded the "Glory Messenger" with a heavy heart and entered the cabin, Luvia briefly explained the situation to him:
"I used divination to do a simple positioning, and I was able to basically determine that the location where 'Brink of Life and Death' is opened is located in the north of the city's core district. I will return to the manor and confirm it with Bella later, and I will definitely get an accurate result.
According to the data and experience accumulated during the Middleburg period, we now need to go deep into the edge of life and death and first clear out the accumulated undead inside, and then we can use rituals and other methods to seal it up again. "
"The church also knows this sealing method, so we shouldn't be as hasty as we were during the Midhill Castle period. But the most difficult part of reclosing the Edge of Life and Death is that we need time to prepare the ceremony. What I'm worried about is that the opening of the Edge of Life and Death this time is not normal, and after it is mixed with the abnormal sunlight, who knows what will happen?"
Shade said worriedly, took out the glowing colorful diamond crystals, and explained what happened on the way here.
Luvia didn't know what those monsters were either. She just nodded and looked out the porthole at the blinding yellow sunlight:
"There is still an hour and a half before night falls. Let's wait and see. After the sun sets, we don't know what the moonlight will look like."
At 6:30 in the evening, after a not-so-loud explosion was heard from the largest banquet hall inside the Glorious Messenger, the entire ship actually shook twice on the calm sea.
But this was not an attack. There was another clear sound of glass breaking, and a spiral vortex of gold and black appeared on the east side of the banquet hall.
A sizzling sound appeared along with the vortex, and in the wind blowing from the vortex, the black-haired space witch Miss Emma Sylvia walked out with a smile:
"Success! The semi-solidified portal will keep Bella's manor basement connected to this place for the next month! Thanks to Bella's manor for shutting down all defense and counterattack rituals today, and Miss Elither and Vanessa also helped a lot! Let's go, the manor has prepared dinner, let's go there to eat."
The interconnection between the manor in the city and the ship at the dock not only means that Shade can walk fewer steps when going out in the future, but also means that the position of the [Witch Council] can be moved at any time.
The fact that the two-way semi-solidified portal could be opened so smoothly by Miss Sylvia this time was due, on the one hand, to her hard work over the past week and her promotion to level eleven, and on the other hand, to the two fortune tellers choosing the most appropriate time and location.
After all, when it comes to opening a portal safely, luck plays a big role.
The people on the ship returned to Belindel Manor before dinner that day. As for the result of the church's inspection of Belindel Manor, there was of course no result. After all, the countess had thought that her place would be searched.
When the sun sets and the unusual sunlight disappears completely, the faintly glowing mist is almost immediately dyed silver by the moonlight. The mist spreads throughout the city, and Moon Bay tonight is quieter than any other night in a hundred years.
After dinner, Luvia and Miss Elither stood on the second-floor terrace, watching Shade standing in the thick fog in the yard of the manor, breathing in the white mist. Little Mia was held by Tifa, and the black-haired maid stood behind Luvia, the cat's big amber eyes also looking at Shade below.
Both the purple eyes and the sea blue eyes clearly saw that as Shad breathed, the light emerging from his body also flickered.
"Is he absorbing the moonlight?"
Miss Blue Dragon asked in surprise. Megan, who was walking over at this time, also looked down:
"It seems to be true. I know that Shade's affinity for moonlight is similar to that of the ancient god's son in the legend, but can he absorb even this abnormal light?"
She was still a little worried, but Luvia comforted her:
"Shad didn't know you when he was adventuring in the Randall Valley. Have you forgotten how the change in the earth was resolved? He completely swallowed up the distorted power of the earth, and then had a fever for a whole half month. Compared to that time, do you think the moonlight that can easily drive ordinary people crazy can have any effect on him? At most, it can make him more sensitive to the moon."
As he spoke, Xia De also stopped his "breathing" action, turned around and turned into a group of red butterflies and flew onto the terrace, and then returned to human form in front of the girls. The four girls all noticed that this time, there was an obvious bright silver pattern on the wings of the red butterflies.
"If I hadn't been to the Gravel Sand Sea, I might not have felt it very clearly. But after being forced to absorb the overbearing sunlight of the Gravel Sand Sea, I have become accustomed to this abnormal light."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a ball of silver moonlight, completely different from the previous holy and peaceful one, appeared in his hand.
Megan frowned slightly:
“The smell of death.”
"Dark Moon."
Shade simply said:
"After the moonlight and the power of death merged with each other, the light itself took on a distorted power. This feeling is very similar to the underworld moon, but not exactly the same. This light can be fully utilized by me. Remember the 'Moonlight Wheel·Third Form' I developed? It is the move that requires the deployment of a light curtain to absorb the moonlight and accumulate power. The current environment is very suitable for me to use this magic. Moreover, under the abnormal moonlight at night, as long as I am willing to absorb the special light, my spirit's recovery speed will be increased by at least twice."
"Even if you can absorb it, it's still dirty. It's best not to absorb it."
Luvia said softly, but only said one sentence:
"There has been no other movement in the city. It seems that there has been no fighting. What is going on? Could it be that the church team has reached the brink of life and death?"
"There has been no news from Bella about this, but the monsters that Shade encountered have appeared frequently in the city."
Megan said:
"The Five Gods Church named it 'Light Bulb Man'. It is a monster that has never appeared before. It is a twisted force formed by the fusion of fog, death and light that infects the human body. Not only can it melt the entities it touches into light, but it can also escape by throwing out its glowing big head and exploding when it encounters fatal danger.
The power of this thing's head explosion itself is close to the full force of a Nine-ring Warlock's non-sublimated language state, and the light that explodes is the purest "special light". The good news is that in the past, humans who were directly melted by the special light would leave extremely strong light pollution around them, but the light after this thing's death is not strong, and the darkness generated by relics and high-ring magic can clear it up. By the way, the nemesis of this kind of "light bulb man" is magic such as [Shadow Ball]. "
"What about the materials I brought back? Miss Aurora studied them and said they are excellent substitutes for light rituals."
Shade asked again, but Megan shook her head slightly;
"This monster has only just appeared, and the church doesn't know the answer either."
There was a city-wide curfew tonight, but Miss Belindel still took Miss Matilda to get information. Tifa was supposed to go with them, but because of her northern appearance, it was Miss Hayley Aurora who followed them in the end.
In addition to them, all the other witches and witch apprentices have gathered in the manor, even Margaret is there. After all, the bishop of the local Peace Church came to the door in person and told Margaret not to go out tonight.
Therefore, Margaret rested early, and then Miss Sylvia opened a portal for her to come directly here with Emilia, Ajelina and the little unicorn.
The evening newspapers did not have time to report the important news of the "luminous fog" in the city, but after nightfall, people in police uniforms running on the streets shouted loudly on every street, "An optical smoke leak has occurred in the city. All households should close doors and windows and do not turn on lights. Do not go out and do not open the door to any strangers. The mentally ill patients who have gone crazy because of the optical smoke are now fleeing in the city."
