Chapter 3718 Giant Tusk
"Bringing Grace and Helen? What big trouble is there over there that requires me to bring them along?"
Shad was somewhat surprised, while Luvia, inside the unicorn's den, shook her head:
"I don't know about that, but you must get there first. Take the Night Watch with you when you set off. Don't worry about whether Iluna needs them yet; just make sure you're safe. Little Leona will come with me and Winnie, and Ellie will go with you."
I'll talk to the elves and tell them not to join any teams for the time being. Since you mentioned there were signs of demon summoning on the island, besides the seven key locations, something else must be happening.”
"Yes, the demon is making its move."
Dorothy then led Priest Augustus and Dr. Schneider into the unicorn's den. It was Dr. Schneider who spoke. The group of five was now reunited at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.
“The priest and I dealt with those demon summoning sites. They were very cautious and circled around us all night. The priest and I have almost destroyed the large-scale summoning rituals on the island, but we didn’t have time to deal with the rituals in the sea, so we came here.”
Shad nodded:
"Doctor, you will travel with the priest in a while. You will go with Ms. Asperger from the Winter Choir and several elders. After dealing with the situation at the punctuation mark, go up the mountain as soon as possible to meet up with Luvia."
The priest and doctor nodded, and Dorothy asked again:
"What am I going to do?"
"You, Bella, and Granny Cassandra stay here with Miss Elizabeth to look after this town. Keep the [Lucky Moon] amulet with you, and also take the sacred bell the hermits lent me. As for Stella..."
Shad looked at Luvia, and the fortune teller nodded:
“Since she possesses the Ring of Fate and has already begun to grasp the power of Frostmourne, let’s not treat her as a weakling. Let Stella come with me and Winnie. With her and Ms. White’s help, we can hold out until you arrive.”
"Alright, you can take these."
Shad summoned the [Manual of Fate] and gave the three arcs of [Luck], [Corruption], and [Procreation] to the doctor, the priest, and Dorothy, respectively, while Luvia already possessed the arc of [The Fool].
Because the [Ice and Snow] arc was given to Winnie, and the [Shattered] arc was made into ink, Shad was left with only the black arc of the Infinite Serpent that he had deliberately kept:
"Although these fates are not very compatible with yours, at least having this can reduce the disturbances from fate to some extent."
The doctor took the golden, curved object and said with considerable surprise:
"[Luck]? Detective, I feel like you're implying something."
Everyone, including the old priest, laughed. Shad then gave the priest one of the remaining two blank snake molts:
“Priest, please take this. Although Miss Asperger also has a snake skin, please drip your blood onto it when you really need it.”
The priest accepted the snake skin, and Dorothy then said to Shad:
"Keep the [Breeding] amulet with you. I still have the [Lucky Moon] talisman here anyway."
Shade shook his head:
“I have other means, and the disturbances of fate will not affect me.”
He looked at the other four members of the group:
"The fifth act of the story of destiny will end before dawn. This should be the most important battle before the final act. Next, we will go to our respective battlefields. I hope that when the sun rises tomorrow, everyone will be able to return home safely."
"Yes, I have patients to see tomorrow. In recent years, there have been more and more mental illness patients in Tobesco."
The doctor said with a smile, and then he and Priest Augustus went out first.
Shad hugged Luvia:
"Be careful."
“I have Winnie with me, Stella as a candidate, and the guardian of that seal. Shouldn’t you be the one to be more careful?”
Luvia said, and then Shad looked at Dorothy, the writer looking somewhat displeased:
"Lascia and I both have this question—why are we always the ones left behind to 'watch the house'?"
"Because that's when I feel most at ease."
As Shad spoke, he hugged her, and Dorothy whispered, "I knew you were the best talker," and then hugged Shad back.
Aside from Bella and Granny Cassandra, the other seven great witches each led their own teams to different areas, with Claire accompanying Luvia to the snowy mountains.
Shad also wrote to the city, informing the church and the Prophet's Association of the situation at the four locations he was in control of, and explaining that there should be corresponding measures at all seven locations to limit the spread of the serpent plague by the "Lustful Ones," and even to catalyze the power of the infinite serpents.
To ensure the letters accurately conveyed his meaning, Shad specifically asked Vanessa to bring Emilia over so she could deliver the letters, and the fairy assured him she would definitely complete the task.
After dealing with these matters, most of the witches had already set off with their teams. Although Fatummist Island remained quiet under the cover of night, Shad knew that something big was about to happen.
"Ellie, let's go."
He sat on the back of the little unicorn and spoke softly. The pure white beast took a few steps on the roof of the snow mountain hall, then spread its wings and flew into the starry sky.
Two red figures, trailing a trail of light, followed Ellie, making her somewhat reserved. The little unicorn was also a little afraid of Grace and Helen.
As the group flew towards the southern waters of the island, another figure flew down from below and caught up with them. The blonde Miss Sabel came to Shad's side, and the red streak of light representing Grace moved aside slightly.
"Are you about to set off? I see you've divided your forces into several teams; it seems things are going to be complicated tonight. I'll go with you."
The sorceress said that Shad didn't mind:
"What follows is likely to be quite dangerous, even more dangerous than facing the demons in the Ice Castle."
She smiled and shook her head:
"But aren't you still here? I heard you're a summoner of gods, you must be very powerful, right?"
The white, gold, and red streaks of light faded into the distance under the moonlight. Dorothy stood somewhat worriedly at the entrance to the snowy mountain hall, watching Shad's departing figure. Just as she was about to return to the ship to discuss the next steps with Miss Elizabeth, one of Bella's maids handed her another letter:
"This was delivered from the city to Miss Reinhardt's house in the evening. Not long ago, Miss Reinhardt sent someone to look after her father and mother. That's when Mrs. Reinhardt said that she would also let Miss Reinhardt and Mr. Hamilton see this letter, since the late old lady was also related to them."
Since it was a letter for Shad, Dorothy hesitated for only a second before opening it. After glancing at its contents, she frowned slightly and looked again in the direction Shad had left.
"Luvia's divination is really amazing, I see."
The sky, which glowed with a purple halo during the day, returned to its original color at night thanks to the power of the stars. There was no snow tonight, and not a single cloud covered the entire island; the starry sky was so bright that it reminded Shad of the night he fought the "Fallen Star Beast."
Ellie was very fast, but Grace, Helen, and Miss Saber were still able to easily catch up with her.
The markers here were provided by Luvia and Bella, so the church and the Society of Prophets' party had not yet arrived when Shad spotted the island in the distance, which might disappear at high tide.
Ellie landed smoothly on the beach, then ran a few more steps before stopping. Miss Saber's high heels showed no sign of sinking into the sand. She looked at the small island:
"I don't see any enemies. Wait, something's wrong with this island!"
She reached out and waved her hand downwards, and the sand covering the island was eroded away by time until the ground beneath the sand was revealed, along with the incredibly filthy and dirty runic ritual array on the ground.
The power of time sought to destroy it, but the power of this ritual was able to resist the power of time.
Both of them could clearly sense that what they were standing on was probably not an island at all, but a huge black stone nail that was continuously polluting the seabed beneath the surface with its filthy power.
“It’s not a stone nail. From what I can sense on the water’s surface and beneath the seabed, it’s a huge tooth.”
The sorceress said that the giant fang was not indestructible, but its power undoubtedly came directly from Mr. Snake, and it would take time to destroy it.
"Could it be that the earthquakes of the past few days were actually caused by something like this suddenly appearing in the sea? Wait a minute, something is coming."
Shad glanced at the positioning crystal ball Luvia had made in his hand:
"The other side is approaching from the east."
Grace and Helen did not appear; instead, they transformed into two red butterflies and attached themselves to Shad's arm.
When Shad and the blonde woman looked eastward, they didn't see a woman walking towards them on water, but rather large swathes of fish-men and water ghosts emerging from the black tide.
These things came from all corners of the island, as if they had been lurking there, waiting for the two to appear. Miss Sabel showed obvious disgust, but she still reminded Shad:
"See? Most of these things have traces of the snake plague on their faces. I heard that the followers of the sea gods were not directly involved in the story here. These fishmen and water ghosts are probably directly controlled by Mr. Snake's power. Be careful, they are not ordinary monsters."
Shad nodded, then glanced at the crystal ball in his hand:
"Our target is among these water ghosts and fishmen."
"Alright, let's get started."
Having gained the power to conceal her identity from "another self" last time, Adele Isabella didn't even bother to hide it this time. A huge graphic on a gold-plated watch face appeared behind her, and the "sorcerer" elegantly snapped her fingers forward with her right hand, which had red nail polish on it.
"Time pauses!"
Click~
A clear ticking sound came from the void, and then Ellie was astonished to see everything around the island shrouded in a layer of gray light and shadow. Within that gray light and shadow, whether it was fishmen, water ghosts, waves, or floating objects in the sea, everything was frozen in place like a photograph.
Such a large-scale time freeze is something even Emilia cannot easily achieve now.
But since they were friends who had come to help, Shad didn't ask any further questions. He knelt on one knee in the very center of the "island," bowed slightly, and placed his right palm on the sand. A silver halo emanated from his palm and spread across the sand, and as the first ring of light expanded outward:
"Moon's Prayer - Sanctuary Halo!"
