Chapter 3723 The Man Entangled in Snakes (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
Holding his sword in both hands, he swooped down, empowered by the ceremonial sword [Night Watchman]. Shad transformed into a silver star in mid-air and plummeted into the giant crater.
The two snakes wrestling in the pit and the three ladies all noticed the silver star that streaked across the night sky. The white snake immediately coiled tightly around the black snake, giving it no chance to escape from the giant pit, while Winnie and Luvia simply withdrew from the deep pit.
They could retreat, but the woman couldn't watch Shad's attack strike the giant snake in the pit. She leaped into the air to meet the falling star, but not everyone could shatter a star, because at that very moment—
"Sunshine Gun!"
The sacred bell rang, and golden lightning shot out from the large hole in the mountain that Ellie had just crashed into. Sensing danger, the woman immediately dodged, but the sunlight that had pierced the long night split into three bolts of lightning in mid-air. Although their power was somewhat weakened, one of them struck the woman's left arm precisely.
The falling star brushed past her and crashed into the giant crater below with a deafening roar.
Brilliant starlight swept outwards from the center of the giant crater, even affecting the battle on the snowy plains outside. As the smoke cleared and the light disappeared, within the crater, the hundred-meter-tall Shad gripped the head and body of the enormous black serpent with both hands. A white serpent coiled around his arms from behind, its white head biting the black serpent's body, while its white body helped him resist the black serpent possessing the power of Mr. Snake.
The woman, whose body was half charred, tried to rescue the black snake, but at that moment another golden lightning bolt struck. After she dodged it, she saw an eighteen-year-old girl, her body wrapped in brilliant golden lightning, flying towards her.
In the past, Iluna would only appear when the battle was at a critical stage or even after it was over, but this time she finally arrived in time.
The golden lightning emanating from the long brown-haired girl made her appear more imposing than ever before, but facing Iluna, Valentin Halonin scoffed:
"I've seen you before. You were near that street the day the Summoner found me in my apartment. Let me guess, young lady, you don't like that man too, do you? I don't object to a naive girl having a crush, but compared to the other charming ladies who have been around him, aren't you at a slight disadvantage?"
Even if Dorothy, now a master of writing, were to appear, the author herself would still be unable to clearly summarize exactly how many points in that sentence offended Iluna.
Iluna's lips twitched involuntarily, then a blank expression appeared in both of her heterochromatic eyes. Deep within those eyes, white and crimson rings emerged respectively.
As two beams of light, one white and one red, wrapped around the ten-ringed life ring that appeared behind her, the lightning surrounding her suddenly turned crimson. However, this didn't look like "punishing lightning," but rather like "raging lightning":
"A posture of destiny!"
[Hope] and [Punishment of Evil] resonated with Iluna simultaneously, and the two Rings of Fate overlapped with her soul. In reality, enormous white and red rings perpendicularly enclosed Iluna's body, and as they rotated along their respective axes, amidst the crackling crimson lightning and the overlapping colors of the two rings, Iluna's body magically transformed into a figure approximately two and a half meters tall.
This is not a shapeshifting ability, but rather a power granted to those with a strong destiny by the "Destiny Stance".
When Luvia on the ground looked up, she saw Iluna, now a size larger, her entire body wreathed in lightning, wielding a hundred-meter-long crimson lightning spear that seemed poised to tear a massive hole in the night sky. She swept the spear seemingly slowly but actually quite swiftly towards another woman in the air.
Needless to say, the effect of Iluna's "Wrathful Strike" was so great that even though the cracked [Fool's] Ring had already appeared, "Lustful One" was still knocked off the mountainside by Iluna along with the ring amidst the thunderous sound.
The mountain peak was cleanly sheared off by the hundred-meter-long crimson lightning spear that swept across it. Knowing that Iluna wouldn't suffer any loss, Luvia was relieved, and then said to Winnie:
“I don’t care what task Chloe gave you, but at least show some real skill now. You don’t need to help Shad; now, join me in stopping those ‘beasts.’”
The ice maid nodded gently:
"Yes, as you command."
Crimson lightning fell from behind the giant Shad in pursuit of the "Lustful One," while Shad, with a white snake coiled around his hand, grasped the still-struggling black snake with one hand. He first spat out a mouthful of pure silver moonfire to envelop the snake's head, then summoned the Night Watchman. With a thought, the longsword encased in the Moonlight Greatsword pierced the giant snake's body on its own.
The silver sword slid down smoothly, slicing the black snake in two. But from the cut skin, a slightly smaller black snake leaped out again, lunging at Shad's face, only to be stopped by the white snake coiled around Shad's arm.
The thunderous wave struck the black serpent at close range, and then the massive Dark Moon Mark was imprinted in mid-air, turning half of the smaller black serpent's body into sand.
The moonlight was gradually melting away most of the remaining body of the snake. It struggled desperately but could not break free from Shad's right hand, which was glowing with purple light. Then the giant snake body split into thousands of smaller snakes, which pounced on Shad's body in the air, but were all repelled by the golden shield of the suddenly expanding "Heathon Sign".
The white snake coiled around Shad's arm opened its mouth and spewed icy mist at the falling snakes, freezing them into ice shards. Shad took a deep breath, lowered his head, and slowly opened his mouth, spewing out pure silver moonfire once more, engulfing almost all the snakes trying to escape.
Even now that life force, spiritual power, and spirit can transform into each other, Shad dared not continue casting spells in this manner. After using the power of the white snake coiled around his arm to lock onto the black snake's true form, he returned to his normal size in the brilliant moonlight and fell into the pit.
A black snake, as thick as a wrist, slithered to one side, hidden in the shadows of the giant pit, only to be cleaved in two by a slash of moonlight. The tail, unable to escape, was stomped on by Shad and melted into the moonlight, while the head darted forward and was then caught in the hand of a figure standing up from the shadows.
The hand looked like a human hand, but the charred skin looked as if it had been burned by flames.
The strange figure draped in a black robe seemed to have always been there, but neither the starlight nor the moonlight could illuminate it. It didn't deliberately lower its head, but from any angle, one could not see what kind of face was beneath the hood.
The snake's tail was now completely destroyed by the moonlight. Shad raised his head and held up his longsword. The runes on the [Night Watch] sword in his hand lit up, and the white snake on his arm also reminded him:
"demon."
"I was just wondering when you would appear, and when you would give another drop of blood."
Shad said without any surprise, as he and the demon stood on opposite sides of the nail embedded in the mountain:
"I'm quite curious, Mr. Snake, even if you promised to help me find that 'weapon,' just how much do you trust it to squander such blood so recklessly? Do you have a lot of blood?"
The "Demon of Weapons," Black Hand - Tifreon, remained silent, as an indescribable, powerful force surged forth from its hands once more. A trail of crimson blood flashed, and an evil force, seemingly intent on completely distorting the world's order, swiftly shrouded the once clear night sky in dark clouds.
It was utterly evil and twisted; even outsiders couldn't find suitable words in any civilized language to describe this power. The Night Watchman in his hand was almost flying out of his grasp—a rare display of near-out-of-control behavior from the sword.
The night was devoid of light because of the appearance of that power, and the silver light of the longsword in the center of the pit illuminated the half of the small snake that had been thrown out by the demon.
And when the half-snake fell to the ground—
"what?"
The soaring black mist and the even greater evil power made the people fighting around the giant crater turn around to look. Even though they couldn't see what was in that black smoke column, most of them were already having their hearts racing. The mental pollution brought by the indescribable evil power was not even the most important thing. The instinct of their souls and the memories inherited in their human blood were frantically reminding them to escape from here immediately.
Not only on this battlefield in the snow-capped mountains, but all the highly sensitive high-ring mages on the entire island looked towards the center of the snow-capped mountains at this moment. Large swaths of dark clouds were rapidly gathering in the sky above the island, and the ring mages who had participated in the battle of the Fallen Star Beasts could easily discern what kind of power this was:
Has the demon of weapons reappeared?
The tornado-like black mist swirled with black lightning, and from within that lightning, a gigantic snake head with three black horns and human eyes emerged. Then, with a cry like the wailing of a dead man, its massive body shattered the black mist tornado, revealing an even larger snake body than before.
In fact, it's hard to say whether this can still be called a "snake".
Not only did the snake's head grow horns and its pupils turn into black human eyes, but dense human hands and feet also grew on both sides of the snake's body, making it look more like a centipede than a giant snake.
On the snake's belly and skin, ancient, filthy runes formed blasphemous scriptures that no one but Shad could understand. Every friction between the giant snake's body and the filthy mist that spread around it would vibrate its scales, producing a whispering sound, which was the very words on the snake's skin and belly that it was reciting.
Although it was not as large as the corrupted Fallen Star Beast at this moment, the terrifying power it displayed was in no way inferior to that of the star that fell from the sky.
