Chapter 2949: Freezing Time and Space and Sublimation
In the flickering light that represented eternity, the withered yellow and black vines quickly crystallized and solidified, and before they touched the two people above, they broke into large pieces of crystals with a crackling sound and fell downwards.
Adele hugged Shade's neck and watched the gorgeous crystal forest emerge from the air around them. However, there was no need to show the complete puzzle this time. Shade pointed upwards:
"Mystery Lock - Crystal Light."
Click!
The seemingly ordinary air above his head was "frozen" in the dazzling light of the crystal until it solidified into a crystal wall visible to the naked eye. The power of "freezing time" sounds very similar to "time standing still", but Shad knew the essence of this power from the beginning.
Adele was quite surprised by this:
"What kind of power can freeze time?"
The flow of time was completely stopped under Shade's magic, as if someone had frozen the river of time.
However, Shade didn't have time to answer Adele's question. He hugged Adele and rushed directly upwards in the simple crystal forest that had not yet faded. After a loud bang, he used his body to crash through the crystal wall and took Adele away from the deep pit.
His consciousness fell into chaos again at this moment, and when Shade came to his senses, he found himself lying on his back in the wind and sand, with the dim sky and the ruins of the floating city wrapped in the storm in front of him.
He sat up and looked around, only to find that he was back at Saint Teresa's Square. He looked around but could not see any trace of Adele, but he seemed to be able to smell the perfume of the witch who was in his arms just a moment ago.
"Don't point it out. I know it sounds perverted."
Xia De thought to himself, and took out Adele's pocket watch again with half expectation and half worry:
"Adele Isabella."
The wind blew away the dust underfoot, and the name of the Great Witch of Time engraved on the square tiles lit up countless times. In that light, Adele stood up with her skirt lifted, and when she raised her head, her body had completely solidified.
"Adele, you're okay."
She opened her arms and hugged Xia De, then pressed Xia De against the outer wall of his house without any reason, interrupted his words and gave him a real passionate kiss.
She seemed a little too excited, but fortunately, neither of them were ordinary people, so there was no possibility of suffocation. It was just that Xia De felt that his lips seemed to be swollen, which was very rare for him now.
He returned to the house with Adele and sat down on the familiar sofa again. When the fire in the fireplace illuminated this cold and dilapidated home, Shad, who was hugging Adele, felt for a moment that this place was not as bad as he remembered.
He put his arm around the witch, and Adele told Shad what had happened.
After they separated last time, the Great Witch of Time has been wanting to follow those vague traces in the apocalyptic era to investigate what happened in the "Battle of the Chosen Ones of Time".
Although she had come into contact with divinity because of Shade in Moon Bay, and was recovering the memories of every Sixth Epoch, it was very unfortunate that she had never participated in any battle of Vesta Forest. So if she wanted to help Shade learn what had happened, she could only do it in this era when everything was coming to an end.
The "Cursed Tree" seemed to be an important clue related to this, so she took the initiative to investigate.
And now, in this era when she might be the only one left alive in the world, the means people used to imprison this horrible evil creature are still working. Before the black sun disappears, the tree will probably continue to exist, so Adele was trapped there accidentally:
"And when I first entered the underground pit sacrificial site, the tree was still dormant. I investigated the surroundings and did some time backtracking, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the Vestal Forest. Most of its current terrifying power comes from the time curse it absorbed after the apocalypse.
It was just a cursed tree that could not move in the era before the end of the world. I used a special witch's secret technique to spy on time, and the place where it was formed was not in the Vesta Forest. "
Originally, Xia De had his arm around her shoulders, but as they talked, she somehow ended up sitting in Xia De's arms.
"It should have been formed at the high tower of Mount Karas."
Shade gently stroked her hair. He was almost certain that the "cursed tree" was the transformation of Ms. Helena Carter after her death. Of course, it was Helena in her past life:
"I only recently realized something about that tree. It had nothing to do with the story of Vestal Glade in the past. In the sixth era when I was not there, she traveled through time to investigate the astrologer's information and should have left Vestal Glade directly."
Although she didn't know what Shade was saying, the witch could sense the sadness in his tone. She continued to lie on Shade's chest. Shade stared at the flames in the fireplace and asked after a while:
"Adele, come to think of it, how did you summon me over here just now?"
"name."
When it comes to this topic, the beautiful witch with teardrop moles on the corners of her eyes immediately smiled and replied:
"I wrote your name on the ground."
She felt a little embarrassed when she said this:
"When I was bored before, I wrote your name on the ground. I don't know what happened. It didn't work before, but this time it actually summoned you. When you called me just now, I realized that you appeared again. I had no hope at first."
Xia De had some guesses about this:
"That's probably because I recently learned a new magic trick related to names."
When they met at the beginning of the month of dead leaves, Shad had just gotten familiar with the environment of Vista Forest, and a lot of things had happened in this month. He hugged Adele and told her the recent stories, including the stories that happened in the past. Adele also knew the possible origin of the cursed tree and the source of the maze that Shad had used to freeze time and space.
Of course, Xia De didn't have the courage to explain what happened in the fairy tale. It was one of the few private things he didn't want to share.
“Is there a final decision to be made? Sorry, I haven’t heard of the final decision to be made in the Vista Grove incident.
Either the situation there was not successfully resolved, and the woodland eventually disappeared in the disordered chaos of time; or Luvia Anat quickly resolved the problem, and no one knows the specific process. "
She said embarrassedly that because of the witches' "professional abilities", she could clearly smell the different perfumes coming from the two girls on Shad's body, and one of the perfumes obviously came from Luvia Annat, who was "born to play tricks".
She could easily guess what Xia De was doing before coming here:
"I'm sorry. I wanted to help you, but in the end I couldn't do anything. If it's convenient, use the Philosopher's Stone and your Words of Ascension to summon me this time, and we will become one again."
The advantage of Vestal Glades is that there are many venues that meet the requirements for casting Shade's low-level Ascension Word spell. If necessary, she can be called upon to help again.
Since we were talking about the language of sublimation, Xia De thought of another thing. He lowered his head and asked the girl in his arms:
"Adele, do you know this word of sublimation - [The initial silver moon guides the final direction]?"
"Yes, of course I know. Isn't this the low-level sublimation language that Annat used in the Sixth Era that I experienced?"
Adele's tone sounded a little gnashing of teeth:
"When I fought her for the first time in the Sixth Era, she relied on this Word of Ascension to defeat me, who was only at the thirteenth level, with the power of a newly promoted high level. This Word of Ascension requires her staff in your hand to fully perform."
Long-haired Luvia also said this herself (Chapter 1335).
"Do you want to know its specific effect? Use the staff called [Staff of Yggdrasil] to penetrate time and space, hold the staff high to make the original moon appear in the sky, and then swing the staff down to guide the moon to fall."
"So, the function of this word of sublimation is to call upon the primordial moon to bombard the enemy?"
As Shad was talking, he was imagining. Then, under the starry night, the image of long-haired Luvia standing on the top of a cliff, holding up her staff and pointing at the huge silver moon in the night sky, appeared in his mind for some reason. Even if it was just an imagination, those purple eyes were still so beautiful.
"Not only that, Anat once told me that the fall of the original moon was a landmark event for the end of the First Age, that is, the Mythological Age. Therefore, in her Words of Ascension, the destructive power brought by the fall of the Silver Moon is only a prelude to the Words of Ascension. The real power is the 'final direction' that comes with it. That is, after the fall of the Silver Moon, the Words of Ascension will turn the surrounding environment into a doomsday scene.
She is the only one who knows what the end of the world is before it comes, and through this word of sublimation, she can use this power safely."
After Adele finished speaking, she noticed that Shad's eyes turned into surprise when he looked down at her:
"Why would she tell you these things? I mean, aren't you and her enemies? So, are you the kind of friends who are enemies but actually have a good relationship?"
The blonde witch then reached out and patted the back of Shade's hand, which was actually about the same strength as tickling:
"What are you talking about? She is just my enemy. But even though she is my enemy, we have worked together before. You have to be extremely careful when working with her, otherwise you don't know when she will..."
PS: After the kidney stones, I was happy to find that my left foot was fractured (looking up at the sky).
Next I will have time to write papers and novels.
