Chapter 2422 "The Devout Practitioner"
【The other party can absorb the light. 】
The voice in my ear reminded me.
"What a pure red moonlight~"
The glowing figure said, its own light turned into chains and wrapped around Shade. At this moment, the ignored girl finally took action at the most appropriate time:
"Curse-Slowness!"
The fog and light froze for less than a second, and during this second, the card in Shade's pocket had already stuck to his body:
"Disaster Card - Darkness!"
The thick darkness directly enveloped Shade and the figure. After a few seconds, the dark area dissipated. The only person standing there was Shade holding the card.
He did not relax his vigilance, but turned to look at the figure who reappeared beside Mr. Ronan at the end of the bridge. The other party's aura did not weaken at all, but he praised:
"I originally thought that my 'light incarnation' would have no rivals in this glowing fog as long as it didn't touch the twelfth or thirteenth rings. I didn't expect that this darkness that annihilates everything seems to be purer than my light and more distorted than the light in this fog. Perhaps I have been a little arrogant recently."
He did not think he had failed, but instead reminded Shad and Matilda:
"I will use some very powerful magic next, please pay attention."
Then the figure disappeared into the fog again. Xia De hesitated for a moment and then looked up at the sky.
The spirit caused the fog to surge like a tide, and it seemed that all the light near the bridge was being drawn towards the sky.
The light condensed into a ball of light, which quickly turned into an egg shape. Before the lightning spear thrown by Shade hit the "light egg", the light dragon that had just hatched had already spread its wings and soared in the fog.
The newborn dragon was not big in size, but after avoiding the lightning spear, it expanded in two or three breaths by breathing in mist and light to a size that could cover the entire Yuewan Bridge when it spread its wings.
In the thick fog, even in the city during the day, there was no need to worry about too many people seeing this scene. And Shade, who was already extremely alert, suddenly pulled Matilda into his arms before the dragon opened its mouth again, and stabbed the yellow moonlight sword in his right hand into the bridge:
"Hedon Seal!"
"Roar!"
A pure white beam of energy struck the bridge deck, and after colliding with the shield formed by bright yellow light, it pushed Shad and Matilda back little by little amid the loud noise of the bridge's steel structure.
The continuous pure white light column could not break the "Hedon Seal" in one go, but maintaining the seal required continuous consumption of Shade's spirit. Shade, who had never worried about not being able to maintain the shield due to the consumption of spirit, encountered this problem for the first time, because the dragon of light could continuously replenish the consumed spirit from the light in the fog.
Fragments of white and golden light kept splashing before his eyes. Xia De asked the nervous girl in his arms:
"Do you have a shield that can be maintained temporarily?"
"I haven't learned your secret technique - [Revelation Realm] yet, but I should be able to block this light within five seconds."
"Okay, get ready, three, two, one."
On the six-ring life ring behind the witch apprentice, Enlightenment-【Adaptation】brightened. When Shade suddenly disappeared and the "Hedon Seal" disintegrated, half of her body also turned into light and collided head-on with the dragon's breath.
Twenty meters in the air, Xia De's figure suddenly appeared, with patterns of the sun, moon and stars blooming under his feet, and the key in his hand had turned into a long staff.
The effects of offensive magic and spells of light will be weakened, so silver-white lightning and primordial fire appear on the surface of the long staff that is raised high:
"Thunder gun!"
Boom!
Amplified by the "Staff of Yggdrasil", the lightning spear, which had a special attack effect on "dragons", was thrown out with almost the greatest consumption, and then caused a violent explosion directly in the sky above Yuewan City.
The giant dragon of light that was spewing light was pierced by the thunder, and then the giant beast exploded into light fragments all over the sky in the entanglement of thunder and fire.
The red butterfly fluttered in the air and swept away the falling staff. Xia De fell back onto the bridge and looked at the glowing white figure that appeared again in the fog. The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
"He is in this fog. He can't be immortal, right?"
[It is very likely, and the opponent has obviously not yet fought with all his strength. ]
"trouble."
The figure pointed his hand, and dense arrows of light fell from the sky like rain, and the "darkness magic" cast through the cards once again formed a curtain to block the light.
The blurry figure in the fog absorbed more light, split into two, and then turned into light streams from the left and right and flew towards Shade.
The black chain swept out and hit one of the figures, and the light shattered into pieces. It seemed that these figures were indeed the embodiment of thaumaturgical structures.
After dodging the chains, the other figure re-condensed and appeared next to Matilda. The relic weapon wrapped in blood-red light directly stabbed the left arm of the blonde maid.
She knew that she would not be able to dodge it with her close combat skills, so she shook her fingers and cast a curse of fate to try to deflect the direction of the sword tip, and then cast a blessing of luck on herself at the last moment.
Then the blood-red light suddenly tilted and brushed past her arm. The blurry figure was obviously also very surprised, but when the second sword stabbed out, Matilda really had no time to dodge.
The black chain pierced through the figure's abdomen from the front. Shade used space jump to block Matilda and held the relic in the blood tightly with both hands.
The light incarnation did not collapse because of the chains of sin, but the light dimmed a little. The figure turned the long sword in his hand, and the blade drew two bloody marks on the palms of Xia De's hands, and then the sword was pulled out of Xia De's hands.
Xia De ignored the girl's astonishment behind him, and didn't care that the wounds on his hands were festering and spreading to his arms. Just now, he directly touched the long sword in the blood light, and he finally saw what the weapon was:
"Bloodsorrow! Are you the leader of [Eternal Light], the 'Pious One'?"
The incarnation of light was visibly stunned, then swung the sword at the two again.
Clang!
Only this time, the gorgeous moonlight sword blocked the blood, and ancient runes composed of burning flames flickered in the translucent sword body.
Cracks also appeared on the silver moonlight sword, but because of the special properties of the "spiritual weapon", the cracks quickly disappeared.
The two swords were taken back by their respective owners. The "devout practitioner" took a step back, and the long sword in his hand disappeared along with the blood:
"You know [Blood Sorrow] and this pure moonlight, you are..."
Of course, there was no expression on the blurry figure, but he took out a small bottle from somewhere and threw it to Shade:
"This potion can temporarily stop the wound from festering. As for how to treat it, high-purity No. 2 holy water will do."
The figure then scattered into spots of light, and then appeared beside Mr. Ronan at the end of Yuewan Bridge in the distance:
"No more fighting. There's no point in fighting you. But please don't continue investigating [Eternal Light]. We have nothing to do with your goal. Investigating us is a waste of your time. You have more important things to do.
You followed our people, and I hurt you, so we don't owe each other anything. The ritual of the chosen one may require a document-level ancient relic called the [Mirror of Mafara]. Don't come to us again."
After saying that, he quickly transformed into a ray of light and disappeared into the fog with Mr. Ronan. It even looked like he was running away.
Shade frowned slightly:
"[Mirror of Mafara]?"
"It looks like an ordinary floor-length mirror, and it only works on living creatures with extraordinary powers. If you stand in front of the mirror for more than 9 seconds, the reflection in the mirror will come alive and have the ability to talk; if you stand in front of the mirror for more than 29 seconds, the reflection in the mirror will materialize and emerge from the mirror.
The reflection is usually considered to be the "incarnation of justice" of oneself, the best version of oneself that one can imagine. The main feature of this mirror is not very useful, and the materialized reflection always thinks that the original body has not become the good person it expects, and has fallen to the evil side, so it will try to kill the original body. "
The blonde said, looking at Shade's hands worriedly.
"The mirror is in your hand, young lady. It was collected many years ago. Treat it first. The wounds on your hands are still festering. Does it hurt?"
She pursed her lips, knowing that this was caused by the sword that Shade blocked for her. Shade nodded and handed the small bottle of potion between his fingers to Matilda. She carefully poured the amber potion on Shade's palms.
With a sizzling sound, a blood-red smoke with a fishy smell floated out of the wound. Although Shade's mouth twitched and he didn't cry out in pain, Matilda could see that he was enduring it.
"The four relics we learned about before are the poet-level, secret-keeper-level, sage-level, and angel-level. We just happen to be missing the clerk-level. The slug corresponds to [light], the stone corresponds to [dragon], and this time the mirror corresponds to [justice]. The star stone and swordsmith are for sword forging."
“Holy water.”
Xia De frowned and thought, and the maid reminded him worriedly. Xia De shook his head:
"I didn't bring Holy Water No. 2 with me. I only have Holy Water No. 3. Let's talk about it when we get back. Please help me divine where my broken sword fell. Although the sword is broken, it can be repaired."
So the witch apprentice took out the pendulum pendant and prepared to tell fortunes, but she was not very focused. Instead, she secretly looked at Xia De who was frowning and thinking:
"Are you worried?"
She asked carefully:
"That six-ring sorcerer just now, I mean the one who appeared later, seems to be very wrong. The ability to drive light and absorb light is not what a normal ring sorcerer should have, especially since he only has six rings."
"It's indeed not right. How could Liuhuan be so powerful? He even directly transformed the special light in the fog into his own spirit, as well as the [Blood Sorrow]."
Xia De raised his arms and looked at the festering wounds on his palms:
"I can't be wrong. That is indeed the level of the whispering element of the sage-level relic. It turns out that he is the leader of [Eternal Light]. If that's the case, everything can be explained."
PS: This chapter's illustration is "Blood of Sorrow". So far, all seven holy swords in this volume are complete. I will find time to post a general illustration.
