Chapter 3717 The Beginning of the Chaotic War
At 11 p.m., Shad, who was out alone, summoned Dr. Schneider from the mirror at the crossroads outside Kyle-Todd. The moonlight only returned after the summoning ritual ended. The doctor, carrying his briefcase, emerged from the mirror and immediately took a deep breath of fresh air.
"When peace comes in the future, I will definitely come to this kind of place often to vacation and fight against the power of the devil."
He looked eastward:
“It’s not Black Hand - Tifreon. I sense someone preparing to summon a lower-level demon. It’s probably not the demon itself; it’s likely manipulating ordinary people again. Detective, I’ll go deal with that first and then meet up with you later.”
"Doctor, please wait a moment."
Five minutes later, Priest Augustus, who had been brought by Grace and Helen, also emerged from the town. Since he was out on business, he was no longer wearing his cleric's robes.
The old priest greeted both the priest and the doctor, then, gazing at the snow-capped mountains in the night, he echoed the doctor's sentiments as a "city dweller":
"The air is so fresh."
The two then went to deal with the demon summoning, but promised to return to Shad's side before the "Lustful Ones" appeared. The priests were the main force against the Lustful Ones, and the angelic relic the church had provided could actually enhance their power.
As for the doctor, if Black Hand - Tifreon doesn't appear, the doctor doesn't need to take action. But considering tonight's situation, the probability of that demon not appearing is practically zero.
Back on the ship, they continued to wait. Ellie and little Leona were also told not to sleep too soundly tonight, as they might need their help.
However, after dinner, the two little unicorns had already taken a nap together. Seeing that the lights in the Snow Mountain Hall had been on all day and that they were allowed to roam freely in and around the Snow Mountain Hall, the two little unicorns were quite excited.
When the clock struck midnight, the great witches who would be accompanying Shad on this mission gathered together with the sorceresses led by Miss Asperger in the Snow Mountain Hall, while the town's priests were also busy observing the movements of the Snow Mountain.
The banquet hall was never as lively as it was tonight, even during the All Souls' Day dinner. Mia, who was also there because no one was home, had somehow ended up standing on little Leona's back.
Friday has arrived, but there is still no news from any party.
Xia De made no further preparations, but stood alone on the roof of the Snow Mountain Hall, gazing at the moon, when unfamiliar footsteps sounded behind him:
Are you worried about what will happen tonight?
Turning around, he saw the enigmatic Miss Delia A. Sabel smiling at him. Shad remembered the first time he saw her at the Ice Castle; her hair was a dry, yellowish color, but now it had clearly transformed into blonde hair, similar to that of Sirius and Margaret.
The mysterious sorceress was wearing a long dress adorned with gold thread tonight, her blonde hair was piled up behind her head, and a diamond-encrusted earring in the shape of a pointer adorned her left ear, which reminded Shad of the "clockmaker" from the Vesta Woods.
"Yes, I am a little worried. But everyone is very well prepared, so I don't think there will be any major problems, Miss Sabel. Are you here to help as well?"
Adele Isabella was simply bored waiting alone, which is why she came here to talk to Shad, but of course she wouldn't admit it:
"Yes, I've come to help too. Aren't you happy to have me?"
"Of course you are welcome."
Then Shad recalled his conversation with Luvia that morning:
"Appearing out of nowhere in the story, with a mysterious identity, seemingly powerful, and appearing to know a lot, Miss Sabel, could you be the chosen one of destiny?"
The blonde sorceress burst out laughing:
"Of course not, why would you think that? Okay, I admit I look a bit suspicious, but I don't even have a snake shed, let alone three Rings of Fate."
"See, you really do know everything."
Shad reminded him, but for some reason he wasn't wary of Miss Sabel in front of him; she gave him a very friendly feeling.
"Although I don't know who you are or what organization you belong to, could you possibly help me during the final battle?"
Adele Isabella's lips unconsciously curled into a smile:
"Since you've taken the initiative to invite me, then I'll accept."
"Alright, this is for you."
Shad pulled a [Star Dewdrop] from his pocket and tossed it to her; it was, of course, made from blood. Dewdrops made from other materials were mostly taken away by the girls who obtained the materials.
"what is this?"
She held the beautiful dewdrop up to the moon to examine it, and Shad explained the dewdrop's restorative effects:
"Based on the lunar phase when this dewdrop was made, the ratio of life force to spirit restoration is about 1:3. I don't know your specific level, but even if you are a thirteenth ring, this dewdrop is enough for you to release a life-saving magic spell in the most critical moment."
"Then I'll accept it. So this is what they've been trading privately lately. I mean, I don't have any gifts for you here."
Shade shook his head:
"I don't need any gifts. Shall I go downstairs and meet everyone? Familiar teammates can coordinate better in battle."
But this time she refused:
"I don't really like talking to strangers."
As she spoke, she walked to Xia De's side and stood in front of the railing on the roof of the Snow Mountain Hall, looking at the town with only a few scattered lights:
"Since you're free for the time being, why don't we have a chat? Let's talk about the future. What are your thoughts on the future of this world?"
She smiled and asked Xia De beside her in the night breeze, and Xia De felt a sense of relief for some reason.
The conversation lasted a long time, the moon and stars illuminating the two standing together. The sorceress didn't leave until 1:30 AM, but Shad believed it wasn't because she had finished speaking, but because Sylvia had come upstairs to find him:
"Who is that person? No, no need to explain, she'll be sitting at the table sooner or later. Oh, another underwater earthquake struck Falling Star Bay. Although the magnitude is still not large, Vanessa believes it's a harbinger of some kind of major disaster."
However, Shad had no time to consider the potential catastrophe, because at 2 a.m. on Friday, Grace and Helen appeared directly in the Snow Mountain Hall with Luvia and Bella:
"Location is complete. Bella and I have pinpointed two locations: she is either in the southern waters of the island or somewhere underground in the northern part. With this crystal ball, she will never be able to escape this location as long as she doesn't leave Fatummister Island."
We can split into two teams, Shad, you and Vanessa each leading one team.”
But at almost the same moment, Winnie also appeared here and found Shad:
“Ms. White said that the ‘Eros’ have appeared, but two of them appeared at once, both on the snow-capped mountains, one at the foot of the mountain and the other on the upper part of the mountainside. I can keep in touch with Ms. White, let’s set off together.”
Shad looked at Luvia, who was not surprised at all:
"As expected, let's not take any action for now and wait for news from the city."
The message from the Prophet's Association arrived urgently five minutes later. The old man Zarathustra used the monocle with the destiny of the "truth" in conjunction with the ritual to locate the location. Almost at the same time that Luvia and Bella confirmed their location and the Guardian provided information to Winnie, they also found the location of the "Eros".
"News from the city says that the Prophet's Association has identified three possible locations. The Church of the Five Gods has now assembled with the prophets and is preparing to depart. The church is asking us which route we should take. The elves are waiting for our news before making a decision."
The three locations given by the prophets differ from the four locations known to Shad. In other words, tonight, the three methods have identified a total of seven possible locations where the "Eros" entity could exist.
Xia De wasn't even sure if the opponent's true form actually existed in any of those seven locations, but he was determined to eliminate the opponent tonight.
"Luvia, let's go out alone for a bit."
The two arrived at the temporarily deserted unicorn's den. Shad took out the [Lucky Coin] he had picked up from the ruins atop the snow-capped mountain, and Luvia held the coin in her hand.
"Are you sure you want to use it?"
"We didn't have enough information a few days ago, and all parties were not well prepared. Now is the time."
"Then what about my [Stadium of Destiny]?"
"Don't always use that. I considered bringing it, but ultimately decided against it."
Luvia nodded in understanding, and the coin, after being tossed into the air, cracked at its highest point and turned to ashes as it fell.
The halo in Luvia's purple eyes was very noticeable in the darkness:
“Interesting. All seven positions are actually the same entity, or rather, she can make any individual in any position become her own entity as needed. The Eros is trying to trigger a second fateful impact tonight, and all seven positions are undergoing rituals, so the existing manpower must be divided into seven groups.”
“The priest, the turtle of [nothingness], the clowns’ performance, the church’s relics, Iluna’s power, and me, we only have six ways to prevent the other side from arbitrarily manipulating people into infinite snakes.”
Luvia shook her head:
“The church usually doesn’t just make one plan; they definitely don’t just prepare one kind of relic.”
"So there are exactly seven methods, corresponding to seven positions."
Luvia shook her head again:
"According to my divination, the one most likely to become the true form is actually the one high up in the snow mountain. But don't take people to the most important location in the snow mountain first. Winnie and I will take people there, and then let that Ms. White's clone step in to hold things off for a while. That should be enough to last for a while."
You now need to head to the southern waters of the island to deal with the trouble there. Just take Grace and Helen with you.
