Chapter 3397 Hymn of Courage
"Shad."
Pretending to be still very weak, the blonde girl reached out to touch Shade's face and complained softly:
"After all, this body is just a flesh puppet, not my real body, and only one-third of my soul has been projected here, otherwise that damn thing wouldn't be able to affect my consciousness so easily."
That thing chose Miss Violet instead of the weakest Miss Liad for this reason. But this also explains what is behind the wall in front of them. Shade can almost imagine that "Madame Swelling" is waiting for them behind the wall with a fan.
"If a living person touches the Soul Forging Skeleton, even a 13th-level Great Witch will be hurt. The best way to deal with this thing is to temporarily transform yourself into an undead creature. This is not difficult for us. After all, we have stayed in this world for too long, and each of us has certain characteristics of an undead creature."
Shade reached out and touched the rusty bronze skull in front of him, and the skull embedded in the wall opened its mouth and spoke. The language it used was the common language of the Fifth Era, but the tone was flat:
"Answer one question and you will be able to walk through this door - Who is the most beautiful person in the world?"
"I guess I know why that thing specially built a wall to stop us. It's really a bad taste."
The girl with glasses said, and then took out the [One-shot Kill Pistol]:
"It wants us to answer that it is the most beautiful, but we won't answer. Use this gun. This gun can kill life with one shot, but it can also be used to remove shackles and break seals. This skeleton can't withstand two shots."
Xia De quickly stopped her:
"There are only a few bullets left, so let's save them. No, I won't give it the answer it wants. The Soul Forging Skull will not accept only one answer. As long as it makes sense, it is willing to accept any form of answer."
"How about you say I'm the most beautiful? I'm the Great Demigod Witch of the Chaos Seat."
Miss Violet on the side smiled and said that she had this confidence, and she really felt that she was much more beautiful than the corpse from the mythological era.
"It's better to be safe."
Shade said, giving the skeleton an answer:
"Although I really don't want to admit it, but judging from the pure appearance, that is, the physical body, the most beautiful thing in this world is desire.
The evil born from the bottom of human heart, anyone who sees it can see the appearance that best suits their own desires. People have different definitions of beauty, but it can always show the desires that people themselves are not aware of. "
Shade was sure that Desire was much stronger than the Swelling Lady, and from the current investigation, the latter was only a dead person from the earliest era of the First Era, but the mermaid was born from the chaotic nature of intelligent life. No matter how wary or even a little afraid of Desire, Shade could not deny that it was indeed beautiful.
【But in the end, it is just a mortal thing. 】
"She" smiled gently.
"That makes sense. You pass."
A rustling sound came from the wall in front of them. Everyone stepped back together, and then saw that the cracks gradually extended straight up and down with the bronze skull embedded in the wall as the center, until the cracks completely penetrated the wall.
Only then did Xia De see clearly that it was a crack in the door, and the "Soul-Forging Skull" was a decoration on the door. The wall opened inwards silently, revealing a gap large enough for one person to enter. Behind the gap was darkness that no light could illuminate, and everyone knew what was there.
Shade looked at his companions, and Miss Violet said with a little relief:
"This is not the end point, nor is this the final test. It would be ridiculous if the journey back ended here."
"Let's end the battle as quickly as possible and don't stay here too long. Take all the feathers with you and don't leave them behind."
As Shade spoke, he took out the Philosopher's Stone dug out from under the Corpse Tree from his pocket, and then took the lead in passing through the gap in front.
Behind the gap was an extremely open space, which was circular in shape without any furnishings or pillars. The ground was paved with uneven rectangular breadstones. In addition to the "entrance" behind Shade, there was a long corridor extending into the distance at the other end of the open space.
The "woman" wearing a red and white dress, with long white hair and a folding fan covering half of her face was standing in the middle of the open space waiting for them. Just as Theresa said, this thing was more than two meters and five centimeters tall.
Although it also has the power of "charm", for Shade, who has come into contact with "desire" too many times and is familiar with "Pink Book", its charm is not particularly terrible. After ignoring the rather deliberate attraction of the other party, Shade's inspiration reminded him that the thing in front of him was a long-rotten corpse.
After this thought came to his mind, as he blinked subconsciously, the "woman" in front of him was no longer the tall woman with gorgeous clothes, but a swollen corpse that had been rotten for a long time.
But this appearance disappeared with his next blink, and the gorgeously dressed "woman" was still standing in the open circular space. There was no light source here, but it emitted a faint light, and the soft light highlighted its appearance at the most perfect angle, even though only half of its face could be seen.
The girls behind him also passed through the gap one after another, and the voices came from behind the folding fan:
"Originally, I was attracted by the nearly perfect artificial body. She is indeed very beautiful and suitable for me. But now I have changed my mind. The truly perfect body is here."
The folding fan covered the lower half of his face. At this moment, the two red eyes on the upper half of his face looked at Xia De with a smile and an extremely disgusting desire:
"How about this, leave his body behind, I don't care about the others. I want to play some games with him."
Although Xia De didn't look back, he clearly felt that there was more than one person angry behind him. He patted his chest, confirmed that Mia was now in toy mode, and then waved back:
"Moonlight Greatsword!"
Three scarlet swords flew over Shade's head and shot towards the "woman" in front of him. The latter finally took away the folding fan that covered the lower half of her face and gently fanned it forward -
"Come and protect me."
The endless number of wrongfully dead souls in the gray fog rushed forward one after another, using their souls to block the three moonlight swords. These wronged souls were the ones who were attracted by it and eventually died in its hands, and now they still love it.
The gray mist created by the folding fan easily obliterated the scarlet moonlight, but then the holy silver light transformed into a large moonlight cross and slashed towards it again.
It smiled again and used its folding fan to cover its scarlet lips. As its body slid backward like a wandering soul, it pushed forward with its left hand. Its weak and boneless hand actually pushed the Great Moonlight Cross to the side. However, behind the dazzling cross, Sister Belen, holding a sword, stabbed at it, but it moved the folding fan away, opened its mouth and spit forward—
Amidst the mournful sigh, a pale gray cold mist was exhaled by it.
The last time, the nun's flame was suppressed by this strange mist and eventually died down, but this time, the flame underwent a miraculous qualitative change after coming into contact with Shad. Sister Beren's body turned into flames in the cold mist and disappeared in front of the swollen lady. Then the flame appeared behind the evil creature.
As Ashes struck its head, Violet and Theresa, who had finished charging, held their right hands with their left hands, held their right hands together, and extended their thumbs and index fingers, pointing their index fingers forward.
"Witch's Secret Technique - Cartdia's Light of Life!"
Pure white light burst out from their joined fingertips, and the flaming sword fell from behind the "woman", while Shade had already raised his right hand beside it:
"Sunshine Rays!"
The "woman" did not dodge at all. She covered the lower half of her face with the folding fan again. At the same time, a strange and sharp laugh came from under her skirt. Then a black and gray shield blocked her surroundings.
The pure white light of life, the scarlet-gold sunlight and the flaming red sword were all blocked by the shield, but the attacks of the Demigod Witch, the Nine-Ringed Shade and the Twelfth-Rank Fire Nun were not without effect.
One second later, cracks appeared on the shield. Two seconds later, the color of the shield disappeared. In the third second, "Cartdia's Light of Life" was the first to break through the shield and hit the evil creature in the chest. So it finally began to fight back.
The figure disappeared in the hazy gray light, and with the wound on its chest still emitting gray smoke, it appeared in front of Miss Violet and Theresa like dancing.
The girl with round-framed glasses raised her hand and fired a shot, but the tall woman dodged it by tilting her head. Her hand reached for the short Miss Violet's shoulder, but she suddenly retracted her hand after contact.
The clothes on the witch's shoulders quickly dissolved due to the touch of the evil creature, but the exposed snow-white skin showed the complete holy emblem of the [Chaos Witch]. This was when Shade walked in first, she hid behind and pierced her skin with a fine needle to prevent herself from being controlled again.
After all, this is not the demigod witch's own body, so it doesn't matter how she deals with it.
The evil creature’s right hand began to rot inch by inch because of its rash contact with the ancient holy emblem. The upper half of its face became extremely ugly because of anger. Miss Violet took this opportunity to shoot the pure white light of life towards her face again, but it was blocked by the fan.
Then the fan was immediately moved away, and cold gray mist blew out from the mouth again. Miss Violet dodged immediately. Sister Beren was not afraid of this thing because of the fire, but her temporary body did not have that ability.
But to her surprise, Theresa did not dodge the gray fog.
The gray fog engulfed the blonde girl wearing glasses in the next second, but pure white wings appeared from behind the gray fog and enveloped the resurrected Schultz Theresa. Relying on the slight blessing given by the fourth angel of requiem when she was resurrected, the girl with white light all over her body tilted her head and closed her left eye in the gray fog, raised her hand forward and pulled the trigger -
Bang!
The soul bullet was fired by the [One-shot Kill Pistol] and hit the folding fan directly, and then a big hole appeared on the folding fan made of human bones and human skin. Behind the big hole, porcelain-like cracks appeared on the "perfect" face of the swollen lady.
