Chapter 3038 The Power of Dragon
The reason for inviting Shade here is because the church wants Shade to cast a spell on the bomb that is still counting down. All relics are difficult to be affected by the power of the ring sorcerers because of the whispering elements they contain. Only strong enough magic spells can be effective on the relics.
Even though the Ancient Dwarf's Rune Gunpowder's resistance to the power of time was pitifully low, it was not something that a normal ring warlock could influence. Not to mention that if this relic was not properly controlled, it would cause catastrophic consequences. Since the witch of time was not here, the most suitable person to handle this relic was definitely the "Godcaller".
"Then let me try."
The conversation took place in the museum area of the Golden Music Hall. Many of the exhibits about the development of the city's music industry had been put away last night. At this time, the brass metal box was placed on a table that was originally used to hold the handwritten memoirs of the first mayor of Vista.
Xia De placed his hand on the explosive, closed his eyes, felt it for a moment, and then let go:
"should be no problem."
Then he took off the key and whispered in his heart, "In the name of Luvia Anat," and a long black staff appeared in his hand. He held the staff in one hand and held Adele's pocket watch in his other hand. Finally, he placed the tip of the staff that looked like a curved "question mark" on the relic:
"Time stands still!"
As the spirit surged, the click-click countdown sound disappeared, and the time on the top of the box froze at 17:11. Shade narrowed his eyes slightly, and a layer of translucent crystal shell wrapped around the outside of the rune bomb.
Although this was different from normal time stopping, the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the countdown to the bomb explosion was over:
"That's good. After the war here is over, we will find a way to deal with this relic."
This unique relic is not containable, so it is safest to detonate it or destroy it with other relics.
But Shad said:
"Can I keep this relic here for now? Maybe it will come in handy later. No, don't worry, I'm not planning on detonating it locally."
"Then you can keep it for now. It may have other problems at any time, and it is safer in your hands."
Miss Gayana Lisbrown said, thanking Shade and leaving. Shade and Megan returned to the area where the girls of the parliament were, but Megan looked at the box in Shade's hand and said with some concern:
"I remember you said that your magic can only work on one target at a time. Now I have frozen the time of this relic."
"Normal time stop requires me to maintain the state, but the crystal form of time stop, after casting the spell on an inanimate object, does not require me to maintain the crystal state all the time, so I can cast the spell on other targets."
Although Shad said this, he still looked worried:
"I just wonder, why did this relic appear now?"
"I don't know."
"I mean, why would such a powerful relic that I can control appear in Vista City tonight by coincidence?"
"Um"
Megan hesitated to speak:
"Are you worrying too much? Didn't various relics frequently appear before major events in the past? This time, it just happened that a relic that can be controlled appeared. The probability is not low."
Shade said nothing more, just looked at the box in his hand and wondered if it was possible that it would actually explode today.
At 8:17 in the evening, as Xia De's silent countdown ended, a bright light suddenly burst out from the east of the city, even through the window, turning the room almost completely white.
Even Emilia, who was wiping her crown with a handkerchief with her back to the window, couldn't help but close her eyes. When the strange light ended, everyone could feel the extremely powerful whispering element sweeping across the entire area without even looking out the window.
"what happened?"
Emilia asked anxiously.
"The probing phase is over, and the second wave of the Zerg's offensive has officially begun."
Along with the light that briefly illuminated the entire area, the corrupted tree people who had awakened from the forest opened their eyes. As the tree people silently moved towards the city in the dark, large and small holes, like acne marks on the face of an adolescent boy, appeared in various areas of the forest.
Amid the buzzing sound, black-shelled insects swarmed out from the holes in the ground, gathered like a swarm of flies under the night sky, and then divided into different directions and gathered towards the urban area in the center of the woods.
The earthquake caused cracks to appear in the forest. As the accumulated snow fell on the cracks, dull thunder sounded from deep in the ground. The ancient roots buried in the ground of Vista Forest for countless thousands of years were gradually breaking away from the seal left after the ancient war as the local time collapsed.
Even though the temples and altars that had been restored by the academy in various parts of the woods were all lit up at this time, they only formed a shallow golden web under the snow, temporarily preventing those ancient roots from reaching the ground immediately.
At this moment, everyone in the forest could hear the rustling sound of the treetops in the wind. The shadow of the ancient tree that seemed to connect the earth and the sky, with a crown large enough to cover the entire Vista Woods, appeared in everyone's eyes for the first time tonight.
However, the shadow of the giant tree only appeared for less than two seconds before disappearing, and immediately afterwards, more and more dense snowflakes fell from the night sky.
“This is snow from another time.”
Xia De looked outside the window and made a judgment, then continued to look up. Beyond the white fog outside the city's shield, the already full silver moon was above the various magical lights flashing overhead, and it was as peaceful as it had been for tens of millions of years.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to catch the moon with his hand, but this was destined to be just an illusion. In reality, the dark swarm of insects had already arrived in the sky above the city's periphery, and even gradually obscured the moon in front of Shade like a cat swallowing the moon.
The Five Gods Church, which was divided into "air combat forces" and "ground combat forces" according to the original plan, quickly deployed 70% of its prepared personnel into the battlefield at once after the second wave of insect swarms attacked. While Shade was preparing to go out, the Golden Music Hall had truly "come alive" because of the people walking through it.
Care for the wounded, logistical supplies, delivery of battle reports, dispatch of mobile forces, even the low-level warlocks who did not participate in the battle had different responsibilities on this night.
After changing his clothes and tying bandages on his trouser legs, Shade checked the relics he was carrying for the last time, raised his sword and gestured to Megan. Emilia followed the two out of the room, followed by other high-ring witch followers who were ready to join the battle. When they walked out, the girls in the corridor made way and stood on both sides of the wall to watch Shade and the great witch go to battle.
When they left the area where the Witch Council was located and turned into the main corridor of the music hall, the people who were originally busy there stopped their work and lined up against the wall, watching the "God Summoner" striding out with a group of girls.
Most people took off their hats and saluted him, and a few even bowed slightly. This really made the outsider feel that what he was doing was not only related to himself and the girl around him, but also to the world.
At this moment, the vanguard of the second wave of insects had already started fighting with the church team overhead. After the group hurried to the east door of the concert hall, Emilia, who came to the door to see them off, looked up. Snowflakes fell on the elf's forehead, and the cold air blowing into her neck from her collar made her shiver slightly:
"Do I really not need to go with you guys?"
Emilia asked, and Shade handed [Blood Sorrow] to Megan, and took [Angel Right Arm] to fight against immortality:
"You only need to deal with the candidates. We will do the work of paving the way. Now go back and rest. You will have a lot of things to do later."
He waved goodbye to the elf, then walked down the stairs holding Megan's hand. A dazzling silver ball of light burst out from Shade, forcing Emilia to raise her hand to block it in front of her and take small steps back to the upper steps of the concert hall entrance with the other people who saw her off.
In that huge ball of light, the gorgeous Moonlight Dragon stood on the square, spreading its wings under the moon, while the witch stood on the dragon's back.
The giant dragon leaped up and rushed into the sky. The air current swept towards the girls at the door but was easily blocked. The girls in Gao Huan followed closely behind the moonlight dragon and flew into the sky where ripples were forming.
Shade does not intend to let Emilia participate in the battle against the "Watcher", so Emilia can only stay in the Golden Music Hall to prepare for the next round of battle. The elf knows Shade's thoughts and thinks his decision is correct. But, but.
The young elf stood on the top step of the stairs in the snow. The back of his right hand was covered with lush green leaf patterns, and the back of his left hand was dotted with silver moon shadows. The crown on his head symbolized the highest power of the elf race, and the sword in his hand was the few remaining remains of the ancient world tree.
Behind him, the ancient god's temple shone brightly in the long night. Countless people prayed for victory in the battle here, and countless people were willing to sacrifice their lives for the stability of time.
Across the long river of time, when the elves' golden hair fluttered in the snowy night, the old temple responded to the wishes of the elves who were about to inherit the power of time. The leaf patterns on the back of the hand became more dense and complex unconsciously, and the shadow of the ancient tree was reflected in the pair of emerald green eyes:
"If I had the power of a dragon."
