Chapter 2874 Treeman and Insect
After setting off again with Margaret's blessing, Shade went directly to the east of the city to look for Carina and the others. At this moment, looking down at the city from a high altitude, all he could see was the thick green fog.
This miasma has a sweet taste, the same taste as the inferior industrial saccharin in the memory of outsiders. Except for a ring sorcerer like him who has extremely strong physical fitness, even high-level sorcerers must use the "bubble head curse" to protect themselves from any influence.
So when Shade found the witches and their group, he discovered that everyone's head was covered with transparent bubbles. The same was true for Karina. Seeing Shade's expression of trying not to laugh, the beautiful red-haired witch reached out and made a layer of bubbles for him as well, and then continued to walk deeper into the thick fog.
Even though the Night Watcher was still inserted in the scabbard of the Edgeless Blade, light continued to seep out from the gap of the scabbard, which also represented the omnipresence of the whispering element. After an hour of searching, Shade, the two witches, and the girls from Gaohuan had already walked through every corner of the eastern part of the city, even those dirty and smelly garbage alleys, but still could not find the so-called tree man.
By the time they returned to the Accordion Hotel, it was nearly four o'clock on Friday morning. But if the miasma remained so dense, Vista City might not see the sun even in the morning.
The people who went out took a short break, and the maids who stayed behind prepared tea and snacks for everyone. After drinking a cup of tea, Shade went to Luvia, and the purple-eyed girl finally came to a conclusion:
"The tree is in the city, but not in reality. It's in someone's dream. The specific location is in the center of the city. I can't know the exact address of the dreamer, but the whisper element in that person must be the strongest.
Force it out of the dream, and then destroy the body of the tree man in reality and end the disaster tonight."
Luvia consumed too much energy in divination, so after leaving the divination results, she was supported by Lecia and returned to the room to rest.
But there was no need for Shad and the witches to look for the dreamer in the city, because not long after he shared Luvia's divination results, with the slight vibration of the entire city and the strong fluctuation of the whispering elements, the shadow of a huge monster appeared in the thick fog to the west of the hotel.
That direction was the direction of the Golden Music Hall. The shadow that appeared as if space had suddenly moved was the shape of a huge tree.
As soon as it appeared, it was attacked by magic in the fog, and the witches in the hotel immediately recognized that it was the magic of the church. In other words, the church had already forced out the tree hidden in the dream.
The tree itself was glowing, and its shadow in the fog looked taller than the tallest building in the city. As the shadow of the treetop swayed, thicker fog continued to spread from the city center to the urban area. Facing the attack, an old sigh of "Ah~" hit everyone's spirit like a heavy hammer.
But even though the tree man was a relic, its appearance was obviously abnormal. When viewed from a distance, there seemed to be something similar to a cyst on the trunk. When Shade, Carina, Sylvia, and dozens of high-level girls approached the battlefield on the roof, they discovered that the huge tree man's trunk was tightly covered with large patches of white cysts. Even if there was no trypophobia, anyone with a normal mind would feel nauseous when seeing this scene.
Looking closely, those white vesicles were clearly curled up with black bugs, and the pink tree crowns and black trunks made these things very conspicuous in the strange pink light. Shade, who had seen similar things in the underground mines, recognized at a glance that they were all sleeping paradox bugs.
These vesicles attached to the trunk of the giant pink tree man, and some even directly attached to the facial features of the tree man. They kept wriggling as the tree shook violently, as if sharing their power with the relics. The power of the insects gathered into the trunk, then merged into the miasma, until it was ejected from the dense crown of the giant tree.
This is probably the reason why the sage-level relic [Tree of Dreams] suddenly possessed the power to split time.
The tree man had four legs made of human-like black roots, and two thick wooden arms on both sides of the trunk. It "stood" above the golden music hall, with its legs standing straight so that its body did not touch the hall.
Perhaps because of the sleeping paradox bugs, the tree was extremely resistant to divine magic. The raised wooden arms easily blocked most of the attacks from the fog, and as the mouth of the tree man on the dry bark opened, large swarms of black bugs flew out.
Fortunately, those human-sized flying insects that resemble "paradox bugs" are not paradox bugs, but they also have the power of time.
The church's ring warlocks team hidden in the fog immediately attacked the flying insects. Soon a thunderclap sounded above the city, and then, amidst the violent explosion that seemed to shake the world, hundreds of thunders bombarded the ancient tree man's crown straight from the air.
The pink glowing tree crown immediately grew upward under the bombardment of thunder, and the pink light at the end of the branches formed a barrier to try to resist this round of lightning strikes. However, higher in the night sky, the thirteen life rings behind Mr. "Wrath of Thunder" Gareth Sander faced the starry sky. During the second round of thunder bombardment, there were even meteorites mixed in with the thunder and fell down together.
"Power of the Earth·Earth Energy Cannon!"
Iluna's voice was clearly heard in the fog, and the light that lit up seemed to illuminate the darkness before dawn. The huge orange-yellow light held by Iluna gradually fell down, and six extra hands grew out of the trunk of the tree man who had just withstood almost all attacks, and then eight hands moved forward to block the falling "sun".
The "Sun" was held up at an angle by eight hands, and the mist quickly dissipated in the sun's supreme light, revealing the thirteen life rings behind the griffin with its wings spread high in the sky.
The griffin had brown-yellow wings, and on its back, a paladin from the early Sixth Epoch drew his sword.
It was not a high-end relic like the Night Watch, and it was not even an alchemical item. But when the solemn knight drew his sword, the friction between the blade and the scabbard could be heard by almost everyone.
The tree man's crown resisted the lightning strike, and the trunk resisted the power of the sun. Facing the sound of the long sword being unsheathed in the air, the tree man opened his mouth and sprayed out a black light, but it was blasted away by the lightning strike. It wanted to move to avoid the upcoming fatal attack, but the ritual formation surrounding the golden music hall had already taken shape, and golden chains locked its four legs, making it difficult for it to move.
The "Sky Blade" was unsheathed, and as the griffin glided through the clear night sky, hundreds of stars in the starry sky twinkled and then formed the shape of a long sword.
The Paladin raised the long sword in his hand, and at the same time as the long sword fell, the "Sky Sword" in the starry sky also fell. The tree man was then submerged in the irresistible starlight, and then the crown and trunk of the tree were lost at the same time. The falling lightning destroyed the branches that spewed fog, and the sun's light purified the bark that released poisonous insects.
By the time the "Nightmare Witch" Miss Maria, who was watching the battle from the side, summoned a strong wind and the fog had dissipated in most of the city center, there was no trace of the pink tree anymore.
"Even if it is strengthened, it is still no match for the Thirteenth Ring. Do you think it still needs our help?"
Miss Sylvia on the roof asked Shade, and Shade nodded affirmatively:
"Already here!"
As the relic dissipated, the vesicles that were originally attached to the tree trunks fell to the ground one by one, and then fell deeper into the ground as if melting. The church's ring warlocks immediately cast a spell, trying to keep the bugs, whether it was finding a way to completely eliminate them or studying their weaknesses, it would be a gain.
But most magic arts were ineffective against these sleeping evil creatures. More importantly, at this moment, a buzzing sound came from below the ground and became louder and louder. People in the air and on the ground looked towards the Four-Leaf Clover Petal Square on the east side of the "Golden Music Hall". There was no sound of impact or breaking the ground. The huge paradox worm broke out from below the square, and the buzzing sound shattered the glass of the entire block in the form of a sonic attack.
"It's the Paradox Bug! Third backup plan! Prepare the ritual!"
Bright golden rays shot straight from the direction of the Natural Church in the distance, and soon the entire night sky was lit up with the light of a divine ritual centered on an hourglass pattern.
The light of the ceremony was even brighter than moonlight and starlight. The insects that broke out of the ground were originally illusory due to the unstable nature of time, but they immediately slowly solidified under the light and shadow of the ceremony.
The church's ring sorcerers changed positions to prepare for the ceremony. At the same time, as the whispering element reappeared, the light radiated by the unknown relic effect covered all the people flying in the air. Immediately, all the magic that was originally unable to attack the "Paradox Worm" bombarded the worm's shell.
This is a relic that is specifically designed to kill the "Zerg". Although the "Paradox Zerg" is an "ancient evil" rather than a bug, it unfortunately has the appearance of a bug.
The size of the bug was about the same as a small apartment. The bombardment of the magic caused it to deviate from its flight path, but soon its wings vibrated, and the white mist from the narrow space of time, representing "temporal instability", quickly filled the gaps in the green poisonous miasma.
Even the magic and relics under the starry sky could not completely dispel the white mist, and the effectiveness of the second round of magic attacks was greatly reduced due to the cover of the white mist.
Fortunately, Iluna, who was riding a skeleton horse in the air, held the dark golden scale in her hand and aimed it at the insect in the air. The moment her beautiful heterochromatic eyes met the compound eyes of the paradox insect, the white mist disappeared completely, which meant that the power of "balance" had stabilized time and space again:
"Now, hurry up!"
