Chapter 3722 The Black and White Twin Snakes and a New Connection
The enormous serpent fang, disguised as an island, was finally shattered into pieces amidst a thunderous roar as the ring sorcerers attacked together.
After the snake's fangs were removed, the seawater violently trembled, forming whirlpools that seemed to flow into an unknown underground region. The [Veil of Obscurity] had also been removed. Under the starry sky, Shad gazed at the violently shaking ocean and felt the invisible pressure around him suddenly lessen considerably.
"Professor Dani, Miss Ingram, I'm going to the snow mountain next. Will you come with me, or will you go to support other locations on the island?"
The situation in other parts of the island is still being communicated, but it seems that the problems in their area are being resolved the fastest so far, thanks, of course, to Shad and Miss Saber.
Miss Ingram, the Nightmare Witch, said:
"The church had a plan before I left, and I needed to go to support other areas."
The professors at the academy could decide their next destination themselves. Although Denise wanted to travel with Shad, she shook her head.
"The appearance of these seven locations is probably not just an attempt by the enemy to divert our forces; these areas must have some important significance. Since one fang can appear, a second one can appear as well. I'll take some men to stay and guard this place."
Miss Ingram, please inform the church that if similar stone nails are found in other areas, it is essential to ensure that someone remains to guard the site after the problem is resolved.
Shad nodded:
"Professor, please take this."
He handed the last blank snakeskin to Daniste, and the caretaker did not refuse:
“Caller of Gods, you must also be careful, the demon has not yet appeared.”
Her bright red eyes held a look of deep concern; if there hadn't been other people around, she would have said goodbye with a hug.
Shad nodded, then urged Ellie to fly towards the snow-capped mountains under the cover of night, accompanied by two red butterflies.
Although there were major events taking place across the island tonight, there were not many unusual signs when viewed from above.
The weather was fantastic, and the starry sky overhead was frighteningly bright. Shad really wanted to go back to town first, but he told himself to trust Dorothy and the others. In the end, he rode Ellie directly over the town of Kyle-Todd and headed straight towards the snow-capped mountains.
The crystal ball couldn't pinpoint the crucial location because that location was revealed to Winnie by "Ms. White."
At this point, Shad only knew the general direction, but when the little unicorn spread its wings and hovered above the mountainside, Shad did not see any signs of battle in the darkness.
Tonight, the elements in and around the snow-capped mountains are more chaotic than ever before. Even with Shad's perception, he couldn't locate Luvia and her group.
"Grace, Helen, can we find them?"
"We can release red butterflies to probe, but that will take time."
A large swarm of red butterflies was immediately scattered. Shad closed his eyes and probed again, confirming there wouldn't be any results in the short term. He then said to Ellie:
"Can we find Luvia and the others?"
Hearing Shad's question, the two sisters floating on either side of Shad looked at Ellie curiously. They had managed to find little Leona successfully in the harsh environment of the House of the Deceivers; the current environment was far less unique than the interior of the relic.
Ellie let out a soft cry, sniffed around in the air like a cat, spun around twice, and then carried Shad around the mountain peak, rushing towards higher reaches of the snow-capped mountain.
Amidst the pure white light, specks of silver moonlight shimmered, and Shad quickly detected signs of battle below. But Ellie did not land; after circling around the massive spikes on the mountainside, it stopped atop a snow slope that appeared deserted.
"Ang~"
The little unicorn called softly, as if it had found it.
So Grace and Helen held hands and tried to sense the space, and using their status as chosen ones with half the space, they finally detected a trace:
"The space around here is different from what we see in front of us. There is a part of the space here, but we just can't perceive it."
Is there a way to find that place?
When asked, the Red Butterfly twins nodded affirmatively:
“No problem, after all, we inherited the power of the Ancient God of Space. However, with Ellie’s help, the speed will be faster. The unicorn’s horn has the power to penetrate space. We need to gather some of our power into it. Sir, please calm it down and make sure it doesn’t panic.”
"Ang~"
As if understanding the sisters' words, Ellie cried out again, and Grace in the white dress and Helen in the black dress took hands and transformed into two fluttering red butterflies, landing on either side of Ellie's unicorn.
The blood-like color then stained Ellie's horn. The little unicorn trembled uncomfortably, but it suppressed its discomfort and did not activate its own racial power to dispel the stains. After all, not everyone dared to let the relics directly merge into their bodies like Shad.
Grace and Helen were very fast. After Ellie's entire horn emitted a red light similar to that of a red butterfly, it cried out again and then crashed headfirst into the spike it had just circled around.
The little unicorn's body, now trailing behind it in mid-air, no longer emitted white and silver light, but rather crimson specks of light. What Shad didn't notice was that the faint red scar that had remained on Ellie's neck since the "House of the Pseudo-Humans" incident had now turned bright red again under the power of the Red Butterfly.
This time it wasn't a silent collision. With a deafening roar, Ellie crashed through the peak from the side, leaving a hole the size of a small unicorn in the mountainside.
But the other side of the large hole is not the other side of the peak; what appears below is a snowfield in the mountains illuminated by colorful magical attacks.
"There are such flat areas on the mountain?"
At the very center of the snowfield battlefield is a large sunken area, shaped very similar to the meteorite crater created when the "Fallen Star Beast" finally crashed down. However, this time, the center of the crater is not a meteorite, but a huge snake tooth deeply embedded in the mountain.
Two giant snakes, one black and one white, were intertwined in the huge pit. Both snakes were at least fifty meters long, and each roll of them stirred up huge plumes of dust and rumbling sounds in the pit.
Meanwhile, the ring sorcerers fought around the giant pit against the corpses that kept crawling out of the snow. The ones that had appeared in the sea were water ghosts, while the corpses here were people who had frozen to death in the snow mountains, and all of them had obvious signs of serpentification.
On the human side, in addition to the girls led by Luvia, Claire, and Winnie, a squad of ring sorcerers from the Church of Dawn are also here to provide support.
However, Luvia and Winnie did not appear around the giant pit; they were standing on two giant snakes, fighting Valentine Halonen in human form.
Of the two giant snakes, the white one is not Lady White's true form, but rather a summoned creature she created after cutting off a portion of her power. As for the black snake, it doesn't seem to be controlled by the "Lustful One." The black snake's power reminded Shad of the giant snake statue he saw when he first visited the Temple of the Ancient Gods.
This snake's power not only comes entirely from Mr. Snake, but it is also clearly an "Infinite Snake".
Snakes intertwined with each other, and people fought each other. But with just a quick glance, Shad could tell that although the situation was somewhat evenly matched inside the giant pit, on the outer perimeter, the witch's followers and the church's ring sorcerers were being completely overwhelmed by the enemy.
The corpses were led by three living people whose serpentine tendencies were extremely pronounced. It was unclear whether they were henchmen hired by "Mr. Snake" or people bewitched by "The Lustful One".
But they weren't the main focus. The main focus was the five black beasts mingling among the corpses. These beasts were extremely rugged in appearance; although their shapes resembled wild animals, their appearances were clearly something else entirely.
When Shad used the power of the "Manual of Fate" to observe them, he clearly saw that each of them had a broken ring inside its body.
The ring was pieced together from two different curved sections, one of which was the black curved section of the "Infinite Serpent," while the other section represented different kinds of fate.
"Can this still happen?"
Each of these beasts is a "pseudo-ring beast." Although their fates are forcibly pieced together, the abilities they display are still beyond the reach of the ring sorcerers.
But this also proves once again that "Mr. Snake" doesn't have many complete rings of fate in his possession.
Even with Claire and the unknown 12th-circle warlock from the Church of Dawn leading the resistance, these monsters, destined for calamity and destruction, still held the upper hand. If Stella hadn't been holding up the "Fate of Ice and Snow" and doing her utmost to cast spells to restrain the monsters' fate, the battle here would probably have ended long ago.
“Grace, Helen, go help them—take this.”
The arc of death was thrown to them by Shad, and the swarm of red butterflies carried the black arc towards the outer edge of the giant crater.
The crimson color faded from Ellie's body, but the little unicorn felt as if it had learned new power from the two butterflies. It seemed to hear a strange voice, but it didn't understand what it meant by "[A new destiny connection has been established - Butterflies; deepening the relationship can enhance the corresponding attribute power]".
Shad patted its little head:
"Don't go down. Find a place to hide nearby, and whatever you do, don't go near the center of the battlefield. It's very dangerous here. When our familiar witches arrive, you can stay with them, but whatever you do, don't come looking for me."
"Ang~"
The little unicorn responded, and Shad jumped off Ellie's back. The height wasn't enough for him to cast a spell like before, but it was sufficient for just one special technique:
"Miraculous Technique: Falling Star Strike!"
