Chapter 1303

~10 min read 1,985 words

In that second when time almost stopped, Xia De met the demon's eyes. Thus, the snowflakes returned to their normal flying speed, and the almost frozen time began to flow again.

Speaking of which, this was the first enemy Xia De had encountered that could manipulate time. This kind of combat experience was very valuable. If he hadn't insisted on pursuing Luvia's secret and finally learned everything on the clock tower in Tobesk, he would probably have suffered a big loss this time.

"Time... It seems I still underestimated you."

"Ossenfort" said, taking a small step back while looking at the silver cross.

"If I didn't have some skills, how would I dare to get involved in this kind of thing? I'll repeat it again, I don't want any mark,"

Xia De did not relax his vigilance. Sure enough, just as he thought, the light in the already dim environment became weak again. All the shadows around began to squirm as if they were alive, the colorful world began to fade into black and white like a photograph, and the intersection of all that darkness was the stone-mirror demon Gothe, whose body seemed to be melting.

"What's the situation?"

【Approximates a Misuo, but stronger.】

The shadows had already squirmed and attacked Xia De, who was the only one in this black and white world who had not faded. This time, there was no need to hesitate. The clear yellow moonlight at his fingertips illuminated all directions. Although its power was not as good as the silver moon, it still bought Xia De valuable time.

His other hand reached into his pocket, and the "Golden Potion" used to counter demons was poured into his mouth. But it was completely different from what Priest Ao Gu Si had said; Xia De did not need to promote blood circulation through exercise to make the medicine take effect as soon as possible. After the potion entered his mouth, the effect almost immediately took hold, and Xia De's eyes were gradually dyed a dazzling gold.

"Moonlight Greatsword!"

The empty bottle lost its color the moment it was thrown from Xia De's hand, but Xia De's empty hand also pulled a long sword with clear yellow moonlight from the air. Due to the effect of the "Golden Potion," the long sword was attached with a dazzling golden color. As Xia De swung the long sword forward, the golden light blade seemed to tear a crack in this black and white world, flying straight towards "Stone Ossenfort," whose body was gradually melting in the distance.

The light arc collided head-on with the melting body. With an angry howl from high above that almost tore the eardrums, the exploding snowflakes and smoke even forced Xia De himself to raise his arm to cover his eyes.

"Hahaha, very good, very not bad!"

The applause and laughter still seemed to come from high above, and the surroundings were still a black and white world, but there was clearly anger in the voice. When the smoke of the explosion completely disappeared, a giant obsidian stone mirror stood at the position where "Stone Ossenfort" had originally been.

The surface of the stone mirror was covered with red-brown stone veins like blood vessels, and in the smooth mirror surface that was enough to reflect everything in front of it, the figure of "Stone Ossenfort" with dark skin appeared clearly, instead of reflecting Xia De's figure.

【True body.】

"Hmm? It appeared so easily? Priest Ao Gu Si's potion is too... trap."

Although he understood everything, Xia De, whose potion effect had reached its peak, still tucked the silver cross into his waist and rushed up with the Moonlight Greatsword:

"Just kidding, if I don't rush now, should I wait until the potion wears off before rushing?"

His figure left a series of continuous light traces in the black and white snowy world, as if his figure was branded on space. Although he was still far away from this mirror just now, for the explosive power of a Ringed Shushi, it was only a matter of a few seconds before Xia De arrived in front of the stone mirror.

Crack!

Holding the sword with both hands, he stabbed the long sword directly into the mirror surface with the force of the charge, but the glowing sword body not only did not pierce the mirror surface, but entered the mirror surface directly.

Of course, this did not mean that Xia De's attack had no effect. The yellow Moonlight Greatsword carried the power of the Golden Potion and stabbed straight through the stomach of "Stone Ossenfort" with dark skin inside the mirror.

Its left hand hung naturally at its side, while its right hand gripped the long sword inside the mirror, letting its arm rot and then regenerate:

"Really not bad."

The pitch-black eyes stared at Xia De outside the mirror, and the oily smile remained on its face, while Xia De's expression changed.

【Your priest friend is right; relying solely on the Golden Potion is not enough to expel it.】

In fact, the pendant hanging on Xia De's chest at this time was attached with angel power, which could give him one more perfect counterattack opportunity. But he did not praise the initial name to call out the angel's exorcism power for himself, but snorted coldly:

"Blade of Twisted Time!"

Three identical clear yellow long swords stabbed into the mirror surface from behind Xia De, piercing the heart and left and right shoulders of the figure inside the mirror respectively, while the demon inside the mirror still looked at Xia De in the black and white world with a smile:

"Very good, since that's the case, let me reflect the sins borne by those chosen by desire."

It laughed loudly, and its body melted into Xia De's four swords. The distorted black light and shadow finally made everything inside the mirror pitch-black. When Xia De withdrew his long sword and prepared to attack the mirror body again, his own figure appeared inside the pitch-black mirror.

"Hmm?"

The two stared at each other, but Xia De always felt that the reflection of himself in the mirror was clearly different from when he looked in the mirror in the morning; it was more like... the original appearance of his body when he first came to this world.

Suddenly the figure in the mirror said:

"I am the real one, you are far less powerful than me."

Xia De didn't care what this was again, held the sword with both hands and stabbed into the mirror surface again. Under the influence of this strange stone mirror, the words almost blurted out:

"I am the most powerful person in the material world!"

The long sword successfully stabbed into the chest of the figure in the mirror surface again, and the figure disappeared with a loud laugh, revealing what Xia De had actually pierced. That was a solemn statue made of obsidian. The statue wearing a robe held a stone heart in its hand.

And at this moment, the statue with a sense of oppression and extremely strong blasphemous elements was pierced through the chest by Xia De's long sword just like that.

"What? Statue of the Stone Heart Demon?"

The statue seemed to stare at Xia De for a moment, but at this time, cracks had spread outward from around the long sword that pierced the chest. Within two breaths, the statue shattered into a pile of fine black stones.

Blasphemous elements flowed from Xia De's long sword to Xia De's arm, and the curse brought by destroying the god's statue was trying to entangle his soul. And "Ossenfort," standing deep in the mirror, walked over while clapping again:

"Arrogance! Disrespectful to gods, cruel to others, firmly believing that one is the choice of fate! I have reflected your great sin of arrogance, and I sentence you to be an arrogant person!"

Xia De outside the mirror was completely fixed in place in the black and white world at this moment, and infinite black chains stretched out from the stone mirror, entangling his body and limbs, trying to pull him into the mirror.

The demon in the mirror had already stretched its palm towards him:

"This time I won't kill you, I want to give you this mark, go complete my commission! Without my mark, the power of the great one whose statue you shattered will make you wish you were dead!"

The relic 【Blasphemous Cross】 inserted in Xia De's waist finally shone with cold silver light at the same time the demon was about to make direct contact with Xia De. The black chains that stretched out from the mirror and had already entangled him stopped suddenly, and Xia De also took this last opportunity to carry out his last resistance:

"Arrogance? You say I'm arrogant?"

He did not want to retreat and dodge, but pulled out the silver cross flashing with abnormal light from his waist, and then directly reached his hand into the mirror surface. The relic that could absorb soul power, which Xia De specially prepared to counter evil gods, stabbed directly into the demon's right hand that was trying to touch his cheek:

"Who gave you the courage to dare to touch me so closely?"

The great sin chains shot out from his left sleeve, meeting the dense pitch-black chains, while Xia De took the initiative to step into the mirror surface. The pitch-black mirror world tried to drown him with darkness, but this darkness was not even as good as the silent night in the "Eternal Night City."

Holy silver radiated from the surface of his body. Even though the clothes on his upper body were gradually

corroded by darkness, the power of the demon in the mirror could not cause him any harm at all.

Xia De kicked away the stones of the evil god 【Stone Heart Demon】 statue fragments, and the yellow Moonlight Greatsword in his left hand stabbed into the demon's chest:

"Who made you think that I would be afraid of the evil god's statue?"

The last and most violent power of the Golden Potion radiated out with the brilliance emitted by Xia De's body. The light around his body turned into golden yellow, and he was like a sun falling into this darkness, expelling all the darkness inside the demon stone mirror.

The palm print on his chest seemed to be stimulated and faintly emitted light. At this time, in the Prophecy Society in the city, Luvia, who was looking at the crystal ball, suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the northern suburbs of the city where Xia De was, but she didn't understand why she wanted to do this. And that transparent figure flashed past behind her again:

"So that time it was you..."

At this moment, Xia De seemed to hear Luvia whispering in his ear. The heat emitted by the palm print on his chest made the next sentence blurt out:

"But you got one thing right, I am arrogant!"

【Blasphemous Cross】 absorbed the soul power of the ancient evil spirit and turned into a strange cold current into Xia De's body. The golden light around his body dissolved the surrounding darkness. After melting the mirror world, it even continued to melt the black and white world. The world like an old photograph slowly faded away, and the scenery in the snowy forest with normal colors reappeared bit by bit with the radiation of the golden light.

The right palm of the stone-mirror demon Gothe was pierced by the cross, and its left chest was pierced by the long sword. It saw large patches of steam mist carrying heat appear behind Xia De, and heard the sound of a bell that seemed to come from a time even more distant than the era of its own birth.
