Chapter 3533 Moonlight Ray - Second Form
The passage of time was even more disadvantageous for Shad and Sister Daphne. The appearance of the phantom and the reflection meant that the flesh and blood city was gradually materializing, and they didn't have much time left.
"Moonlight Wheel!"
The enormous light wheel held aloft in Shad's right hand slid forward with a buzzing sound, colliding with the crimson light blocking the pseudo-man's path, scattering countless crimson and silver specks of light. Although the light wheel ultimately sliced through the light barrier, it still silently dissolved into the flesh-and-blood city surrounding the pseudo-man.
The intense consumption of spiritual energy had already made Shad somewhat unsteady on his feet. Taking advantage of Sister Daphne's flames transforming into a long dragon and clearing away another batch of blood-red humanoids crawling out of the blood lake, he briefly caught his breath.
He asked in his mind:
"Are there enough spirits left to unlock the mystery?"
If you use the Match Girl, you can only summon snowflakes and a silver moon; you cannot light any matches.
[If the Tree's Kiss is used, the seal will not be effective on the current state of the Pseudo-Human House;]
[The Sleeping Princess, the Water of Wisdom, Cinderella, and the Little Mermaid are ineffective in the current situation;]
[You are currently unable to pay the minimum Spirit required for the Clock Tower Lovers and Crystal Light.]
"How exactly did that demon manage to create such a powerful relic?"
As the realism of the flesh-and-blood city grew increasingly pronounced, even if the "House of False Humans" were successfully driven out, Fatummister Island would still suffer a catastrophe. Shad knew he couldn't wait any longer. Since even the fairytale fans couldn't change the current situation, he could only pin his hopes on the most mysterious power he possessed.
"Sister, please help me get a chance."
He spoke to Sister Daphne, who remained expressionless and unresponsive, but Shad knew she must have heard him.
Sure enough, Sister Daphne then manipulated the black flames, which were a fusion of the Primordial Flame and the power of death, to ignite the entire lake below, temporarily preventing the dummy from drawing power from the Blood Lake.
Then, wielding the dark gold scythe, she charged forward, engulfed in a raging sea of fire. The originally crimson flames were transformed into a deathly black by the flames clinging to the scythe. And when Sister Daphne collided with the illusory city of flesh and blood, the entire House of the Imposters shook violently once more amidst a deafening explosion.
Even the ring mages on Fatummont Island noticed that the phantom of the fleshy city in the sky was becoming transparent as it swayed. But a few seconds later, it returned to its original form.
As for the blood lake above the [House of the False Man], the attack of the Chosen One of Death finally caused the flesh and blood city surrounding the False Man to temporarily melt away. Although the fourth-stage False Man did not appear to be injured, the blood light around it had dimmed to the extreme.
Sister Daphne was clearly exhausted after that attack, and she disappeared into the fire. Only then did Shad realize that the nun was not her true form, but an avatar.
However, the nun's disappearance did not extinguish the summoned flames. Within that sea of fire, Shad, who had seized the opportunity gained by Sister Daphne, had completed his power-up.
The remaining spirit within his body was transformed into pure silver flames, which then combined with the moonlight, seemingly his own innate talent, and appeared in Shad's palms. His palms pressed together, the silver orbs within them growing brighter and brighter; Shad felt as if he were holding a massive mountain.
The moment Sister Daphne disappeared, he could no longer contain the immense power. Combining Adele's guidance on energy bursts with Shad's own insights into spellcasting, he gathered the power of the fused moonfire and moonlight in his hand, and then unleashed it forward at that moment.
This is not some new or magical technique; it is simply the most basic power he possesses.
"Moonlight Ray - Second Form!"
The rumbling sound was the sound of moonlight colliding with space. It was just a small silver ball of light in Xia De's palms, but after he pushed it out, it expanded to be larger than Xia De himself because it was no longer restrained.
The pure silver ball of light shot forward, carrying a thin silver streak behind it, instantly shattering space and appearing in front of the fake man, before swallowing it up in the next moment.
Even without visual observation, Shad knew the other party was definitely not going to survive. Although his eyes perceived a ball of light being emitted, it was actually just an anomaly caused by an excessive concentration of energy. The reality was that the essence of this technique had not changed; he had simply emitted moonlight rays in an unusual way, which were actually energy shocks.
The moonlight paused for less than 0.5 seconds in front of the fake man, then swallowed it and continued flying backwards without slowing down, until it crashed into the fleshy wall directly behind it and disappeared with a loud bang.
As a result, a deep pit appeared on the wall on the other side of the blood lake. The flesh and blood tissue in the pit tried to slowly heal itself, but even though this was the core of the false man's house, the blood-red light could not dispel the faint moonlight attached to the wall.
The fourth-stage pseudo-human, resembling a male servant, was completely reduced to ashes, and Shad was in no better shape. He had only retained the bare minimum of his spirit to ensure he could still fly, and was now panting heavily as he slowly plummeted, finally stopping just before truly falling into the lake of blood.
The blood lake, which had spiraled out of control, stopped rippling and slowly returned to calm. The House of the False Man continued to shake, and Shad hoped that such a violent earthquake wouldn't strike Fatummester Island.
But this was certainly not the end. He drew his snake fangs from their sheaths, took a few deep breaths, and prepared to fly quickly to the other side of the blood lake to clean up the "eldest son's flesh" before closing the door. Such a drastic depletion of his spirit was rare for him; even though he had jokingly said he had the talent of "restoring spirit through breathing," he truly needed rest now.
But at that moment, an unexpected event occurred. Before Xia De's brief "weak period" had ended, the lake of blood beneath his feet suddenly surged upwards, and then the blood transformed into a giant maw that swallowed Xia De whole.
Although Shad was weak, his senses were not diminished. He immediately sensed something was wrong below; spatial movement was impossible here, only flight was possible, but unfortunately, due to the depletion of his spiritual energy, he could no longer move quickly.
He immediately cast spells with both hands, firing flames downwards in an attempt to evaporate the "giant maw," but to no avail. Just as the blood lake's maw was about to swallow Shad—
"Ang~"
A white streak of light slammed into Shad, but Ellie herself was swallowed whole by the blood-red maw because she couldn't dodge in time. Shad, still in mid-air, didn't even wipe the blood splattered on his face, staring blankly at the spot where Ellie had disappeared. Then, as Leona, clad in golden armor, and the ice maid Winnie flew in, he plunged headfirst into the lake of blood.
Thick blood surrounded him from all sides, attempting to seep into his body through every pore of his skin. They succeeded; Shad's body actively accepted this strange blood, then absorbed it and transformed it into his own power.
As Xia De swam further down towards Ellie, he suddenly realized that the feeling of falling he had experienced above the blood lake wasn't just due to danger, but also because his body seemed quite willing to devour such things.
"Ang~"
Above the Blood Lake, a shocked young Leona wanted to follow, but Winnie stopped her. This time, it wasn't because of danger, but because there were other opponents present.
On the other side of the blood lake, flesh gradually took shape, and then the fake man reappeared, or rather, was reborn from the [House of the Fake Man].
Winnie looked at it and said:
"So, you really are the embodiment of the [House of False Humans]. As long as the Blood Lake doesn't dry up, you're actually immortal, right?"
The fake man took flight again:
“No, if the nun had appeared in her true form and struck me directly, I could have died. But that would mean a completely new consciousness would be born within the House of False Humans, and you would be facing a new opponent.”
It scrutinized the glittering golden armor on little Leona, but even summoning its oldest memories, it couldn't discern what it was.
It then asked Winnie curiously:
"The Summoner is probably not coming back, but what are you? Elemental beings have entered this room before, but even those elemental lords couldn't have been completely unaffected like you after entering. Their bodies would show some degree of flesh-and-blood transformation. You are indeed an elemental being, but you are more than just an elemental being."
The icy blue maid, of course, wouldn't answer the question, so the pseudo-human tentatively summoned thousands more drops of blood from beneath its feet. But then it noticed that neither of the two pieces of flesh that had fallen into the blood lake seemed to have dissolved and become part of the "breeding ground." It had initially thought this was because they still possessed the ability to resist, but it seemed that too much time had passed.
Looking down, a small vortex appeared where Shad had fallen into the blood lake, which was now undulating again. Two seconds later, the vortex had expanded to cover a quarter of the area of the blood lake.
"Ok?"
The fake man was surprised to sense that the blood lake was being rapidly consumed, as if someone had opened a sewer pipe at the bottom of the blood lake, causing the power that had been accumulating since ancient times to disappear quickly.
It immediately dispersed the surrounding blood droplets and quickly flew downwards to enter the blood lake to see what had happened.
But at that moment, a rumbling sound came through the fleshy walls, as if tens of thousands of people were running at high speed outside the room. Then, a large section of the wall to Winnie's right suddenly bulged inward, as if the wall had stretched like elastic rubber due to the enormous impact.
After reaching its limit, a dazzling, holy white light appeared, and the wall of the core room of the [House of the Pseudo-Humans] was actually pierced from the outside.
