Chapter 4069 Moonlight Rays, Second Form
Chapter 4069 Moonlight Ray - Third Form
Although Shad was some distance from the two fighting in the air, he was still certain that the intensity of the life energy in the Fire Source in the "Bloodthirsty One's" hand was between the energy of the complete Fire Source that the Church of Creation had once possessed and the Fire Source left behind by the traitor when he defected.
As for the spark that the "Construct Master" is using, its energy is higher than that of the spark currently held by the Church, and far higher than that of the spark in Shad's possession.
"Life energy," as a neutral or even positive form of energy, is not suitable for use in attacks. The method that Shad discovered in the [Bloodstained Factory] was to integrate it into the red moonlight, using life energy to enhance the red moon's radiance.
"Bloodthirsty Ones" and "Construct Masters" represent two other approaches.
The former is already adept at using the power of blood, and the compatibility between blood and life energy is even higher than that of the crimson moonlight. After the blood light merges with the life seed, its destructive power and the degree of flesh-erosion are further enhanced. The blood-series magical spells are strengthened to an extremely terrifying level, and the life seed's enhancement of the "blood weeper's" body is even more exaggerated.
The "Construct Master" imbues machinery with life energy, thereby activating the metal and granting it immense supernatural power through a fundamental transformation. The transformed, activated machinery, further enhanced by the "Construct Master's" power, displays combat strength no less than that of the "Bloodthirsty One's" flesh and blood body.
Shad carefully considered these two drastically different methods of using life energy, while Vig watched the battle between the two in the air with great interest, hoping to learn something from it. Then, she noticed that Shad was still using the magical technique of drawing life force from the surrounding environment and constantly testing the power of the relic ring on his finger.
"what are you up to?"
She realized that Shad didn't just want to watch the battle from the sidelines; Shad was still gathering life force into the mark on his palm through "Life Reversal," so she said softly:
"The church's people will probably arrive in about a minute, but even if they do, they may not be able to subdue these two 13th-circle warlocks with the Fireseed quickly. However, the Construct Master and the Bloodslayer probably don't want to stay here any longer."
The duel between these two has now reached its final stage. With the 'Construct Master' exerting pressure, 'Bloodthirster,' while no longer the weakest thirteenth ring, hasn't actually gained much of an advantage.
Wei Ge's eyes widened in surprise:
"You don't mean to..."
“I have a personal grudge against ‘Bloodthirsty’ Hermons, and this opportunity is really good.”
Shad further explained:
"I don't want to fight a 13th-ring warlock with the 'Spark' head-on; I'm not that crazy. But trying a sneak attack, as a way to get revenge for what happened last time, is fine."
"Although I'm curious about the kind of grudge you have against him, since you've said so, I'll help you with what to do."
Vige didn't stop Xia De, but asked him very seriously. Xia De then raised his left hand to her:
“We have twenty seconds to prepare. Then you take me into the air and try to conceal our position.”
Vige nodded, opened her mouth, and bit into Shad's left palm, sucking the blood. As a professional perfumer, Vige actually hated the smell of blood, but the smell of Shad's blood was an exception.
This isn't because she likes the person and therefore likes everything about him. Although Vige can't perceive Shad's true nature like the demigod Adele of the past, she can sense a power that doesn't belong to the mortal world from his blood.
The two female followers stayed behind to provide backup, while Vige, continuing to suck blood, carried Shad into the night sky. The eleventh-tier Chaos Great Witch had returned to her peak state, and her new power, "Chaotic Wriggling," attached itself to the night sky summoned by Shad, completely concealing the two of them in darkness.
Vige didn't dwell on how good her current state was; the relaxed and carefree witch prepared to use her secret arts to assist Shad in his next spellcasting.
She quickly released Shad's left hand, and Shad didn't waste the wound on his left hand.
He imitated the "Bloodthirsty Ones'" use of blood, using the blood flowing from his left hand as the core, and a ball of red moonlight appeared in his left hand. Wei Ge could feel that the pure moonlight, like the moon in the sky at this moment, was being compressed and then transformed from a ball of light into a red flame.
As for Shad's right hand, the "Spark Mark" had clearly appeared on the skin of his palm. Within the red eye pattern radiating firelight, all the life force collected tonight had been mobilized by Shad.
Although there was no usable "Spark" at the moment, Shad tried his best to recall the feeling of delivering the final blow to the "Shadow of Decay" in the [Stained Blood Factory]. The normal Spark was gone, but he still had life; Miss Felianana was gone, but he still had Vigo.
Only the moon remains, and the moon is with the stranger in the land.
With his left hand prepared the "Moonlight Ray - Second Form," but this time the compressed moonfire, having merged with the moonlight of the red moon, was unusually crimson; with his right hand prepared the "Life Ray." Xia De had no intention of absorbing those foreign life forces anyway, but this time he took the opportunity to launch them out, which could also be considered as verifying his guess.
Neither the "Construct Master" nor the "Bloodthirsty One" noticed the two approaching. The battle between the two thirteen-ringed warriors had reached its final stage, and both wanted to end the fight before the Church's ring mages arrived. Therefore, they stopped in mid-air at the same time.
hum!
A crimson beam of light shot out from the chest of the "Bloodthirsty One," while the armor encasing the "Construct Master" unleashed a brilliant stream of golden fire from its chest.
Crimson and gold clashed in the night sky, their different forms of energy giving rise to the spark of life and displaying strikingly different forms. Meanwhile, Shad, having reached the opportune moment thanks to Vigo's power, was ready.
He clasped his hands to his chest, allowing the red moonfire in his left hand to overlap with the fire source imprint in his right palm. Just as he had shown Dorothy and Lacey on Saturday, the life force once again merged into the moonlight, and the glassy red flames rippled in front of Shad.
Although this time it wasn't a forced storage of the life-giving spark in the moonlight, even Wei Ge could sense that the fused energy was extremely unstable. Without a "source of sparks" to restrain it, the fusion of such a massive life-giving spark with moonlight of the moonfire level was no simple matter.
The Great Witch of Chaos has profound insights into dealing with unstable energy:
"Now meditate on your body divided into left and right sides along the central axis. The forces on the left and right sides are completely different, but at the point where the two forces meet, that is, in the center of your chest, the two forces overlap and permeate each other, and finally achieve perfect balance in a state of chaos."
As she spoke, she tried to guide Shad's spellcasting with her own spirit, only to realize then how vast and pure Shad's spirit was.
Shad then recalled the teachings of the petite Miss Felian Anna before the Forge of Life. So, he gradually separated his two hands, which were clasped together in front of his chest. With Vigo's help, the glassy red moonfire gradually stabilized in his hands, forming a sphere.
The spark of life was perfectly integrated into the moonlight. Although this was still not enough to allow the moonlight to permanently store the spark, it was already a very significant improvement.
This spell is no longer a simple "Moonlight Ray - Second Form" that is charging up power. After fusing with "Life Ray", it bursts out with moonlight, which is a development of a new form of "Moonlight Ray".
Shad took a deep breath, withdrew his left hand, and grasped the glass-like red fireball with his right. While maintaining his spiritual output, he raised his right hand above his head and then pushed it forward sharply.
"Moonlight Ray - Third Form!"
"Miraculous Technique: Chaotic Echo!"
Vigo's power resonated with Shad's, and their respective life rings simultaneously appeared behind them. Even at this crucial moment, Vigo was still shocked by how enormous Shad's life ring was. This was the first time she had seen this life ring in its entirety; he was indeed a tenth-ring warlock.
The [Red Moon] and [Life] runes are radiating light on Shad's life ring, while only the [Chaos] rune is radiating light on Vigo's life ring. However, when the power of chaos comes into contact with that glass-like red moonfire, the [Creation] rune, which appeared due to the [Jade Record], also reacts.
Xia De's [Life] resonated with Wei Ge's [Creation]. As the "Fire Source Mark" in Xia De's palm heated up, a huge Fire Source phantom appeared behind the two in the night sky, and the life rings of the two made the pupils look like they had double pupils.
The phantom obscured the life rings of the two, and the light emanating from their pupils was just like the giant fiery eyes shooting outwards.
The azure moonlight pierced the night sky, and the clear yet deadly energy reaction was immediately sensed by the "Bloodthirsty One." While maintaining the stalemate with the "Construct Master," he extended his left hand to summon a crimson shield in an attempt to block it.
"Miraculous Technique: Blood Shield—Who is it?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he also saw the phantom of the fiery eye appearing in the night sky. Then, the azure-colored fire struck his shield, and fine cracks immediately appeared on the surface of the shield. The "Bloodthirsty One" was forced to retreat continuously in the air.
Even with Vige's help, under normal circumstances, Shad was unable to break through the defenses of the 13th-circle warlock aided by "Spark" in one strike, but this was within Shad's expectations.
"Red Moon + Life" does not restrain "Blood + Life" to begin with, not to mention that the opponent can use the source of fire, but Shad will not do that.
So, while the "Construct Master" took the opportunity to increase his energy output, forcing the "Bloodthirster" to face attacks from both sides simultaneously, the Life Spark was guided by Shad to touch the [Withering Fire Ring] on his right hand.
