Chapter 2849: Victory of Strategy
Also because of the stripping of time and space, a square deep pit suddenly appeared in the surrounding forest, and the bottom of the pit was extremely smooth, as if the upper soil layer had been scraped away.
The crystal still sparkled brightly even in the dim light. The "watchmaker" stood beside the deep pit and continued to watch his harvest with fascination.
But her left eye suddenly turned abnormally, and her face moved closer to the crystal. Then she found that the three figures and the unicorn in the crystal were a little abnormal, like three upright trees and a fallen tree:
"so."
She turned around and looked behind her. In the dense forest around her, four large trees transformed into the appearance of Shade, Luvia, Emilia, and little Lianna.
The traces of the elf's spellcasting had not yet faded, and her emerald eyes emitted a green glow in the dim environment. The eight-ring life ring behind her was spinning rapidly, and the shining spiritual runes on the life ring proved that she had just cracked the sublimation language of the thirteen-ring warlock.
Of course, it is not accurate to say that it was "cracked". To be precise, they did not enter the scope of the sublimation language at all, but the elves used their talents to create four fake bodies. This is the forest, her home ground with royal power. If the "watchmaker" had not been too nervous when facing Shade, he should have had the opportunity to observe the flaw just now.
After all, no matter what, the eighth-ring elf could not face the sublimation words of the thirteenth-ring warlock head-on. She just used a trick.
"I thought you would use your ultimate move as soon as you showed up because you were worried about my power to restrict time and space, but isn't it a bit too much to use the 'Word of Ascension' as soon as we met? So, you have been promoted to the thirteenth ring, why are you still so afraid of me? Didn't I fail to defeat you and that dragon beast the first two times?"
Shade asked.
"you."
The watchmaker also realized what was happening. She had always believed in her heart that she was no match for the "God Caller", and now her words of sublimation fell through, which made her even more panicked.
She looked at the elf girl holding a long sword that also emitted a green glow:
"So you have really used up your qualifications? Did you really bring that crown from the past? Were you just acting when you looked like a weak girl yesterday?"
The elf said nothing, but gradually grew taller, and her slightly immature face gradually became mature. Her long golden hair grew a little longer in the wind, but her temperament did not change at all, and she was still so youthful and beautiful.
[Ocarina of Time] glowed green in her hand. The weapon made of World Tree material was fully accepted by the sword holder who had priest bloodline and even inherited some of the power of the tree father:
"Here is the candidate of time. In the name of time, since you have already attacked me, the war of time begins now."
The Carsenric language was spoken in a very cold tone. After releasing the "Word of Sublimation", the "Watchmaker" was in a short period of weakness. Her left eye suddenly turned. As a candidate, she saw some clues and said in surprise:
"You! You! Wait a minute, how is this possible, are you really serious, can't you... This is not fair! This is not fair! This is not right!"
"Witch's Secret Technique——"
The elf girl, who had just reached adulthood, ignored her. Her sword had already been raised, and a distant flute sound was heard in the wind.
Xia De turned his head to look, and saw only a green leaf flying past his eyes, and then flew to the woods farther away with the sound of the flute. The sound of the flute seemed to come from a long, long time ago, and the flying leaf was also going to go farther and farther.
The sound of time echoes in the wind, and the sound of the flute is from an unknown time, and who is missing whom:
"——Ocarina of Time!"
The long sword was knocked down by the elf, and the wind brought a new story.
The concept of time was compressed into this sword. The swung sword did not leave a huge sword mark, but the tip of the sword pointed at the enemy. The "watchmaker" clearly felt that time was cursing him at this moment.
All the time relics on her body became ineffective due to the sound of the flute. She wanted to use the angel-level magic eye to activate the ability of time return to let herself leave this place, but she found that even the magic eye was suppressed by the sound of the flute.
But even though she was briefly weakened, she was still a genuine thirteenth-ring warlock. She wanted to fight back despite the effect of slowing down time around her, but she saw that the "God Caller" next to the elf also drew his sword.
He did nothing but stood there and looked at her coldly, while the silent fortune teller had a mysterious expression on his face as he looked at her.
At the same time, the elf who had completed the spell slashed forward with a fatal blow in the true sense.
The emerald green light reached in front of her the next moment. Although she was weak, the "Watchmaker" was not completely defeated by the elf. Although she knew that once the "God Summoner" took action, the sacred duel would be ruined, but thinking of the many rumors about the "God Summoner" and the unusual elf at the moment, she gritted her teeth, swung the thirteen hands on the ends of her hair, twisted them into a strand and threw them forward -
Clang!
Sparks flew in the rain, and the sound not only represented the collision of the sword and the pointer, but also the collision of time and time. Even Shade was dazed for a moment, and when he looked around again in a slight daze, he saw that the elf girl had retracted her sword, and the "watchmaker" had disappeared.
"Does this count as a win? First you tricked her into using her strongest move, then you put pressure on her, making her think everything about her was seen through, and finally I stood by your side to intimidate you."
Shade did not continue, because on the back of the elf's right hand holding the sword, complex green leaf veins had already appeared, which were more complex than the ones on Emilia's hand at the moment. In the light, the branding added more dense patterns, which meant that Shade's plan was really successful.
"It looks like you've won. The watchmaker fled after the one-on-one duel had already begun, so you standing by with your sword drawn doesn't seem to be considered to have helped her. In a one-on-one situation, elf, you defeated the watchmaker head-on. In other words, the first battle of the Time War is over, and you've won."
The fortune teller who hadn't taken any action during the entire process smiled and said:
"Although this success is also due to Xia De's plan, I have to admit that you have exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect it to be so smooth. We actually defeated a thirteen-ring master with this plan?"
This time the elf girl did not deny her identity, but just shook her head slightly:
"Although she left, she should have only suffered minor injuries. Although she was eliminated in the Time War, if the winner of the Time War dies, she will have a chance to participate in the Second Time War. She will not leave here. The thirteenth ring warlock will not accept this failure."
"But at least we have dealt with the strongest opponent that nominally blocked the Chosen One's Ceremony."
Shade said with a smile, and then asked Luvia:
"Which candidate is that woman just now?"
"Fifth candidate, I think her special talent should be that she can control more time-related relics, which is actually quite amazing. Emilia is second, and the twins are fourth, um."
Luvia replied, but the elf girl still didn't look very happy. Her pointed ears drooped slightly, and her emerald eyes looked at the forest in the distance, looking more worried than usual.
It didn't actually take too long for the Word of Sublimation to be activated and for everyone to scare off the "Watchmaker", so the third battlefield, where the battle took place last, was actually the first to end.
Xia De was thinking about the girls in other places, so he didn't stay there and offered to help them.
The three of them acted separately. The elf who didn't like going into the city, together with Luvia, rode little Lianna to support Vanessa and Miss Eliza in the dense forest. But in fact, they were the least worried, after all, the two of them were almost the most capable girls around Shad.
And Shad went into the city alone to help Jialina and Xiwei.
He was not worried about not being able to find them, because the white light that illuminated the sky just now was too conspicuous. When Shade was about to enter the city from the forest, an owl flying in the sky saw the silver wolf running in the forest with its sharp eyes, and then swooped down and caught him, causing the silver wolf to fly into the sky:
"The battle in the city is over. Jialina thinks they have dealt with the halfling killer, but Xiwei thinks that although her secret technique is powerful, the other party still died too easily, so it may be a fake death."
The "Emilia" in the city is naturally Flora in disguise, and the real Emilia is the one picking herbs deep in the forest.
"It's going well over there, but I'm curious, how is the old town doing now?"
"Yeah, they disappeared for two streets. Don't worry, we confirmed in advance that there was no one there before we took action."
The owl did not catch Shade and fly to the city, but took him to fly farther away:
"Everyone in the city is fine. Xiwei stayed behind to clean up the mess. I hope the church can accept the noise we made. Jialina went to the woods to find Vanessa and the others five minutes ago. I'll take you there now. I hope we don't miss the most exciting part."
Although the owls flew very fast, the battle was still over when they landed in an area deep in the forest where the terrain had been permanently changed.
At this time, Carina, Luvia and Miss Elf had also reunited with Vanessa and Miss Eliza. Vanessa's left arm was slightly injured, and the Duchess was treating her by the campfire in the temporary camp.
"It's okay, don't worry. My arm was scratched by the white mist sprayed by the dragon. Fortunately, I temporarily built a layer of stone shell on the outside of my arm."
The beautiful blonde witch said, and Shade knelt on one knee in front of her after nodding to the others. Then, Jialina lifted the cloak she was wearing, allowing Shade to see the witch's fair skin under the cloak - only a small area on the right shoulder and right arm were exposed.
The place where Vanessa was "scratched" by the white mist was now wrinkled like the skin of an elderly person.
The Witch of the Earth pulled at her cloak, not wanting Shade to see this:
"Don't look at it."
"Don't move—Breath of Time."
After rubbing the [Ring of Immortality], Shad took a deep breath, but although the magic was successful, the position of Vanessa's arm did not change much.
"The skin in this area has been accelerated by at least a hundred years. If you can't go back a hundred years, then the magic will be ineffective."
Miss Elizabeth reminded him that Shade was about to dig out the piece of flesh on her arm and replant it with "active soil" and then set his eyes on the ring on her hand:
"The Ring of Immortality. It counteracts the effects of magic or relics that consume lifespan."
He then put the ring directly on Vanessa's hand. It was not known whether it was intentional, but Vanessa immediately exclaimed "Ah", allowing everyone to see that Shad was putting the ring on her hand with his own hands.
PS: Why didn't you activate the Sword of Light this time? Is it because the Sword of Light is a skill limited to the Moon Bay area?
Because the opponent is not yet a bad guy who threatens the world's security. Although he is bad, he is not bad enough.
