Chapter 371: Miracle

Whoosh—

An ordinary brass coin with nothing special about its appearance left his fingertips and was tossed high by Xia Nan.

The massive beam of light from the church dome reflected one half of it into an eerie pink, while the other half refracted the sorrowful crimson from the flames below.

With only the last chance to use it, the "Epic" level item from the Goddess's divine favor, named 【Fate Coin】, once again exerted its effect at a critical moment.

Flipping up and down, the long-haired woman with blurred facial features on the front alternated back and forth with the cloak fluttering in the wind on the back.

A strand of invisible power, which could not be seen or touched and which few people on the entire Aifala Continent could perceive, floated up leisurely from the coin at a speed as if thought were being transmitted, rising in wisps, and connecting to somewhere in the void.

The wide, clear lake, as clear as crystal, reflected the soft glow shining from somewhere unknown, and one could faintly see the illusory and massive outline of a city in the distance; happy music, cheers of the crowd, and fireworks of the celebration could be faintly heard in the air.

On the grass by the lake, a cozy little wooden house was sitting, with faint cooking smoke drifting from the chimney, and the air was filled with the sweetness of honey bread and baked apples.

An elegant lady with a tall and slender figure was sitting on a rocking chair under the porch, looking attentively at a thin book on her lap whose cover could not be seen clearly.

Her flowing golden long hair, like flowing sunlight, swayed gently with the breeze; as if she were reading something fascinating, a gentle and slightly mysterious smile hung on the corners of her mouth.

Perhaps it was some robin passing over the lake in the distance that attracted her attention; the golden-haired woman raised her head slightly, her gaze passing through countless barriers of realms across the void, looking at a certain place.

Her eyebrows raised slightly, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

Her fingertips pinched the book paper and turned a page.

"Bang!"

It was the sound made when Xia Nan's body was knocked away by the pink light shield expanding outward.

Tossing the 【Fate Coin】, the 【Copper Sinew and Iron Bone】 triggered in an instant helped him immunize against the punch Moxi threw, which was enough to make him fall into a seriously injured state again.

But the light shield that expanded immediately afterward was not within the range that this specialty could protect.

Xia Nan had been prepared in his heart.

The main purpose, using the embers to soften the crystals on the surface of the skin on Moxi's key parts, had already been achieved.

【Tide Shaping】 had already been opened the moment his feet left the ground, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in water, and the speed of being pushed away slowed down.

This also allowed Xia Nan to adjust his body's center of gravity in mid-air, controlling his body with powerful core strength, facing the enemy head-on.

There were some problems with the plan.

Perhaps it was because he felt the fatal threat brought by Xia Nan, Moxi's reaction was exceptionally intense.

As the pink gem on his chest flickered, the light shield erupting from it was also significantly more powerful and faster than before.

Ding—

The 【Cinder Meteor】 straight sword in his hand was pushed away almost against the surface of the light shield, and the powerful impact made the sword hilt almost slip out of his hand.

This made it impossible for Xia Nan to re-grip the sword hilt the moment the light shield retracted and push the blade toward that fatal spot.

There was only one chance.

The gap between the "expansion-contraction" of the light shield was extremely short; if Xia Nan missed it, all the price he paid for it would be wasted.

His brain was running rapidly.

Time and space seemed to be stagnant at this moment.

High above his head, the copper coin tossed high reached the very top.

Facing up, the silver-white light on the surface of the pattern of the long-haired woman with blurred facial features flashed and disappeared.

Xia Nan, who was in mid-air, maintained the state of being slowly knocked away under the action of 【Tide Shaping】.

But perhaps because of the influence of the powerful impact received in an instant just now, the opening of his waist bag was opened at some unknown point, and the things stored in it flew out as if poured.

A round, orange-red honey tangerine, gifted by that simple girl from the Orange Garden a few days ago, broke free from the constraints of the waist bag pocket.

With an infinitely small probability, it first hit the healing potion that also broke free from the waist bag, causing the crystal-clear liquid in the glass bottle to shake with faint light, and the angle of the tangerine's flight also changed slightly;

then it collided with the three fire oil bombs directly in front of it; the small force generated between them was not enough to trigger an explosion, but it was enough for the angle of the honey tangerine's flight to change a few more times;

finally, it gently hit the silver-chain pearl pocket watch gifted by the wealthy merchant, Kukunuer, before this mission set off. ===== CHAPTER 372 =====
