Chapter 1109: The Bell of the End

Huntington City, although it was late at night, Mr. Bernhardt, a blood-sucking species, still stood on the balcony of the second floor of his manor with a wine glass, watching the black clouds cover the snowy dark clouds at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Keen perception made him vaguely aware of the truth represented by these black clouds, and the slight tremor of the ground foretold that something big was about to happen. He looked at the ripples on the red liquid surface in the wine glass in his hand, closed his eyes, and prayed softly.

Tuobeisike City, the night was deep, but Tifa and Luweiya still hadn't rested. Little Mia was sleeping on the sofa beside Luweiya. At the same time that the "crack" sound spread in the Great Swamp, the cat opened its eyes.

Luweiya turned her head to look at the southwest side immediately after. In Tifa's puzzled expression, she reached out and pressed her chest:

"Xia De..."

Although Xia De delayed or even defeated the "Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom", when the starry sky reached the correct position, the Pantanal Xiewu still returned to the material world after breaking free from the seal, just as predicted by Luweiya in Tuobeisike and the prophet Mr. Johnson in Huntington City. And the shattering of the seal core of the entire Great Swamp also meant that other subspace Xiewu sealed in various parts of the Great Swamp would also return to the real world together.

Corpses with mushrooms on their backs ran in the swamp, and blood-colored and gray-green vines flowed like long snakes under the feet of the high-tier mages fighting in the sky. Firelight centered on Pantanal Lake, dyeing the core area of the Great Swamp red, and green barriers invisible to ordinary people were rising from the edge of the Great Swamp.

The divine ritual prepared by the Orthodox Church for the worst situation had already been launched, at least ensuring that the Xiewu would not break through the Pantanal area.

At the top of the lighthouse on the island in the center of the lake in the wind and snow, Sister Daifulin, whose palm was aimed at the central kerosene lamp, had her gray hair on her forehead soaked with sweat, and in the Stonehenge under the tower, excessive weakness almost made Xia De unable to stand still.

He still wanted to say something, but the violently shaking ground forced people to look around. Amidst the loud noises, cracks clearly appeared on the surface of the island. With the violent shaking of the earth, dense gullies that seemed to lead directly to the abyss of the earth pierced through the entire island amidst loud noises.

And beneath those gullies, red light emerged, and more dense, thick gray-green tentacles crawled out along the stone walls. All of this was exactly as the blood-sucking species diviner had said.

"Be careful!"

The ground crack also appeared under the lighthouse in the northeast of the island. The light at the top of the lighthouse forced the cracks to stop, but it still pierced through the Stonehenge.

In a situation no one expected, thick tentacles shot out from the ground cracks like a group of snakes, sweeping toward the three people in the Stonehenge. But with the light of the dark golden scales and the sword light of 【Night Watcher】, that group of tentacles was swept away, but a tentacle still wrapped around the right leg of Lei Jinsi Pulinxia, who was weak and lying on the ground, and dragged him toward the ground.

At this time, no one cared about Lei Jinsi Pulinxia's life or death. The high-tier mages who could reach here flew into the sky one after another, preparing to face the final battle that was about to unfold.

Sister Daifulin at the top of the lighthouse was also prepared for battle at this time. Even if she couldn't burn the Xiewu in the worst case, she was willing to sacrifice herself to trap the Xiewu on this island forever and banish it out of the material world again.

People tacitly did not go to talk to the God Caller, who was suspected of becoming the "Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom" by unknown means. And accompanied by the thick fog surging toward the ground from the ground cracks, it completely blurred the witches' perception of what happened in the center of the Stonehenge.

At this time, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na had stumbled and ran toward Xia De, hugging him who had fallen beside the bonfire in the center of the Stonehenge:

"Xia De, Xia De!"

She shouted a few times in panic, and then looked around. In the depths of the thick fog, dense giant tentacles stood and wriggled like sky pillars supporting the sky. In just a few minutes, she had heard the sublimation language of the Thirteenth-Tier mages at least five times.

The chaotic element traces severely confused perception. This scene like the end of the world in the blizzard was a result Yin Yi Yi Lu Na had not expected:

"We clearly defeated the Chosen One, but..."

"It's okay. This scene is destined to happen, I know."

Xia De, who was trying hard to open his eyes, held Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's right hand. He now felt that every part of his body was urging him to fall asleep immediately:

"Don't worry, everything I do is, is prepared."

The divinity overflow state was about to dissipate completely. Xia De tried his best to widen his eyes and look into the eyes of Yin Yi Yi Lu Na who was hugging him:

"Do you believe me?"

"Of course!"

The seventeen-year-old girl nodded quickly.

"Luweiya's dream made me guess a lot of things; the blood-sucking species' prophecy said this is the first step of the end of the world... How could I not be prepared? Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, retreat outside the Stonehenge, I want to use this ancient ritual base array to enhance my sublimation language. Remember, protect yourself well."

The tremors of the ground seemed to never stop. Smoke, black snow, explosions, firelight, the scene like the end of the world had surrounded everything here. The brown-haired girl tried hard to control the urge to cry. She always felt that Xia De's existence now was so blurred, as if he would leave in the next moment:

"Will you always be here, right?"

"Don't worry, our story hasn't ended yet. Are you ready for the year-end festival gift for me... I can't open my eyes anymore."

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na endured the endless worry in her heart, helped Xia De up, let him stand up by leaning on 【Night Watcher】 inserted into the ground, and she ran to the periphery of the Stonehenge:

"It's a deal, you have to accept my year-end festival gift alone!"

Probably because the thirteen giant stones from ancient times were still exerting power, there was only one ground crack piercing the Stonehenge, and it had already closed. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na rode her skeleton horse into the sky, watching the thick fog completely envelop the Stonehenge. She could only see the thirteen bonfires in the Stonehenge and the black shadows of those stone pillars.

Xia De, who was trying hard to stand by the central bonfire, leaned on his sword and straightened his body. The sound of "her" in his ears made his consciousness slightly clearer:

【Since you have prepared to face this scene in advance, do you need to use divinity?】

"No, only when dealing with gods do I need to use divinity."

He made a request in his heart:

"I don't want to see the purple-eyed diviner cry... Cooperate with me, I want to forcibly use... sublimation language."

He could no longer distinguish whether the strange and terrible phantoms appearing in the night fog and firelight and the buzzing in his ears were real or hallucinations before he was about to faint:

"Help me."

【Forcibly using sublimation language requires a price.】

"I understand, but no, no matter what, I cannot let that so-called prophecy become reality. Otherwise, what is the meaning of me coming here?"

In the mist, a black shadow in the shape of a ring appeared behind Xia De. Amidst the whistle and the bell, the shadow approached from far to near, and the life ring floated behind him:

"Schneider doctor said that forcibly using sublimation language requires the cooperation of 'another me'. And, the final power of divinity overflow, plus this Stonehenge... Come on."

In a trance, he heard a sigh from the sky. Xia De, whose spirit had completely fallen into decline, had been forced to kneel on one knee on the ground, trying hard to maintain the last bit of sobriety.

He heard the bell, not the bell when the life ring appeared, but the bell from higher, further away, from the other end of time. Finally, he confirmed that the source-less bell sound actually came from himself.

The night was very deep, and the blizzard was fluttering on the island like the end of the world, flying between the tentacles and the mages in the sky.

*Dang! Dang! Dang! *

The bell sound that rang again and again was finally clearly heard by everyone, but no one could confirm the source of the bell sound like Xia De.

Only Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, who was worried about Xia De above the Stonehenge, saw the phantom of the giant tree rising from the Stonehenge, and saw the thirteen stone pillars shining at the same time. This time was different from when it was used by Lei Jinsi Pulinxia. The runes on each stone pillar lit up at the same time, and the tree-leaf-shaped runes were responding to the great power belonging solely to time.

"Echo of space-time..."

A soft whisper came from Xia De's mouth. He felt another existence appear behind him, but he could not know what exactly appeared behind him.

He felt a gentle body appear behind him. That body was back-to-back with him, and the life ring emitting extreme spiritual light floated above their heads.

Never before, even when using divinity, had he felt "another me" so clearly, felt "her" existence. At this moment, "she" was behind him. He could even feel the long hair sweeping across his neck, and could even see the blurred reflection of that silver figure on the silver sword in front of him:

"Vibrate, sleeping..."

The five Wisdom Stones embedded in 【Aiken'aola - Chosen One's Arrow】 flashed with light, and the surging source-less bell sound had spread from the island in the center of the lake to the entire Great Swamp.

In the bell sound, the snowflakes dancing in the violent wind appeared with a strange stuttering phenomenon every ten seconds. And the pitch-black night sky was inexplicably covered with a layer of gray in this bell sound.

"Power."

He finished chanting his sublimation language, and sleepiness surged into his heart, but he never heard any words from "her" behind him from beginning to end.

It was just that he felt those sleeping great powers, felt the traces left by the departed gods, but he could not wake up any sleeping god.

"I..."

He no longer had the strength to do anything, and even his hands could not hold the sword hilt tightly, and his body inevitably fell toward the side of the bonfire.

And at this time, gentle hands supported Xia De's body from behind. He felt the body behind him hug him from behind, allowing him to stand up. He tried his best to open his eyes and seemed to see a silver semi-transparent arm wrap around his front from behind him:

【My dear outsider, the ones you want to wake up are not those old gods.】

"What is it..."

A chuckle, as if the soft moonlight shone on him again. The original sleepiness was gradually disappearing. In the bell sound that echoed from the island in the center of the lake to the Great Swamp, from the Great Swamp to the west of the Old Continent, and from the west of the Old Continent to the entire material world, Xia De gave the answer in his heart:

【Those, whom you/I have cherished in time.】 ===== CHAPTER 1110 =====
