Chapter 1360

"At a time like this, how am I supposed to stay stable?"

Xia De quickly supported the ground, flipped over, and climbed up, then widened his eyes in disbelief, seeing something described in textbooks as impossible.

The stone statue boy, having devoured the human heart, extended its right hand, pointing its index finger forward toward Xia De. The brilliant silver spiritual light, which could make any normal person's soul twist just by looking at it, signaled the power of this strike.

And opposite it, Mr. Thomas Granger, in his robed soul state, stood in front of Xia De. He faced the finger flickering with blasphemous spiritual light and also extended his right finger toward it. A golden, brilliant golden miraculous spiritual light, not at all weaker than the light of the stone statue's finger originally prepared for the evil god's descent.

The howling wind blew against the two guys who were definitely not human. Because of the violent collision of spirit and energy, the silver and golden lights dragged out dazzling light trails toward the directions of their respective masters, so much so that it seemed as if each of them had an incomplete egg-shaped light shield in front of them.

The light of the life ring completely illuminated Xia De's surprised face. That was not his life ring, but the life ring of the Guardian—Thomas Granger. A complete, solid, metallic thirteen-ring life ring flashing with four-colored spiritual light appeared behind the soul in the wind and the night.

The light of that life ring, like a sun in this dark night, bloomed on the top of the hill, illuminating the faces of everyone at the bottom of the hill, and even making the howling wind and the constantly shaking earth settle down for a moment. But in the next moment, the roaring wind brought the power belonging to the evil god again. The night was long, and this battle had just begun.

"Shouldn't the life ring of a sorcerer's spirit be a phantom because they lost their physical body? How is this one a solid entity?"

This was completely different from the common sense recorded in textbooks, and completely different from the life rings of spirit-form sorcerers Xia De had seen with his own eyes:

"Also, didn't Mr. Granger claim in the letter he left at the Church of the Forgotten that he was only a low-tier sorcerer before he went missing? There are indeed more thirteen-ring sorcerers in the material world than officially recorded by the church... Wait, if the Chosen of the Earth was a thirteen-ring from the beginning, and even higher than Sister Davelin's level, then how did Luweiya of 【Past Life · Sixth Era】 fail so many times... Could it be that the Stone Mirror Demon succeeded every time?"

However, this thirteen-ring was obviously weaker in aura than most thirteen-ring sorcerers Xia De had seen.

At this time, no one knew Xia De's complex thoughts, and Xia De noticed that Mr. Thomas Granger's core spirit rune was not the brass-colored enlightenment spirit rune in the usual sense. Or rather, all three of his core spirit runes were not enlightenment, but miracles—【Earth】, miracle—【Guardian】, and miracle 【Human】.

"This is completely within expectations."

The miracle elements and blasphemous elements collided on the top of the mountain, and even Xia De, who was on the periphery of the conflict, could not get close for a while. And after the two colors stalemated for a moment, with another strong earthquake, the power on the stone statue boy suddenly increased. The soul of the transparent Mr. Granger suddenly dimmed a bit. Although the thing opposite was not a god, it was definitely not an ordinary monster:

"Guardian, if you are willing to believe in me, I am willing to transform you into my angel."

The boy's stiff voice said, while Mr. Granger's voice was extremely weak and strained:

"Let your god say such things."

He held his right wrist with his left hand to stabilize the miraculous spiritual light at his right fingertip:

"I once swore to use everything I have to guard the earth. This is not something a heartless thing like you can understand."

"I just obtained a heart." "That is not your heart."

"Moonlight Wheel!"

The rotating light wheel tore through the night sky. After the stone statue boy turned its head to dodge it, it drew an arc in the air behind it and then flew back, hitting the back of the stone statue directly.

The original stalemate was completely broken. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mr. Granger grew another arm from his spirit body. The fingertip of the brand-new right hand also burst out with dazzling miraculous spiritual light. The two superimposed on each other, and the golden spiritual light turned into a ray at the fingertip, piercing through the left shoulder of the stone statue. The stone statue boy could

only retreat temporarily, arriving near the still-erupting "Black Mud Fountain."

"Hoo~ hoo~"

At this time, Xia De was almost dyed black by the black mud falling from the sky. And the black mud accumulated under his feet had almost reached his ankles. He felt his heart beating violently, but he still stumbled toward Mr. Granger.

The extra hand of Mr. Granger had disappeared. He extended his normal hand, signaling Xia De not to continue walking forward:

"This matter is unexpected. You leave here first, I will handle the matter here."

"But..."

Xia De looked at the boy-shaped stone statue. The hole in its shoulder was healing rapidly, and the silver blasphemous spiritual light flickering on its body looked even more intense than before. Although he didn't know what this thing was, its power was no less than the thirteen-ring Granger in his current state.

The Guardian did not give Xia De a chance to speak. He walked toward the stone statue against the falling black mud, and the stone statue also walked toward him again. This time, the two didn't even extend their hands, and the gold and silver dual-colored spiritual light burst out directly from within the soul and the stone statue.

The power of miracle and blasphemy even evaporated part of the black mud under their feet. This light illuminated the top of the hill again, making the people fighting under the hill look over with worry.

The situation at this time was not good. Around the small hill, the withered forest at the end of winter had almost become a sea of fire. The fallen elemental giants were stimulated by the power of the evil god, producing new changes. The fierce battle left the church members with no time to pay attention to more details on the top of the mountain. Only the thirteen-ring lady, "Nightmare Witch," was still flying in the sky, as if waiting for something.

"Guardian, you didn't use all your power."

On the hill, the stone statue boy said stiffly.

"To deal with you, I don't need to use all my power."

For some reason, Mr. Granger looked even stronger than before. He suddenly took another step forward, and with a crack, cracks appeared on the surface of the stone statue. The stone statue boy could only retreat.

"I will bury you in this hill and use your power to nourish the wounded earth."

"No, tonight, you must use all your power."

The stone statue boy continued, his stiff voice showing no ups and downs. The stone statue had already stepped on the heartless corpse on the ground, and the corpse was covered by black mud. "Why?"

Mr. Granger asked very seriously.

"Because, there is still me."

A fourth voice suddenly appeared on the top of the hill. A scarlet light appeared abruptly in the lightless night sky, and then fell from the sky like a meteor, hitting Mr. Granger head-on.

Xia De wanted to rush up to use the Hilton Seal, but the stinging pain in his heart made him a step slower.

"You finally came!"

On the periphery of the hill, the thirteen-ring sorcerer of the Church of Nature, "Nightmare Witch," cast a spell to summon emerald green light to form a shield, blocking the light falling from the sky.

The figure in the light revealed his true appearance in the air. A man wearing a hat, a red coat, and black leather shoes, carrying a metal cane in his hand, emerged. He had a serious expression on his face and looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, but there was inexplicably a unique feeling of a youth about him.

Hermons, the leader of the 【Blood Spirit School】 known as the "Blood Weeper," who had disappeared from the Old Continent since the end of last summer, finally appeared again, which also confirmed the church's speculation that he was also involved in the Randel Valley incident this time.

And compared to last summer, the man in red didn't look much different. He scanned the surroundings in the air and finally looked at Miss Maria of the Church of Nature:

"Greetings, 'Nightmare Witch.' I remember the last time we met was when you drove my school out of the Old Continent. It's been many years, I wonder how your health is?"

He even took off his hat to salute, but the lady of the Church of Nature had no intention of talking nonsense with him. She turned into a green stream of light in the air to meet him, so Hermons no longer paid attention to the three on the hill and turned into blood light to fly into the distance just like before.

On the periphery of the hill, the witch

crushed the giant statue in front of her into rubble, then looked up at the two lights moving away in the sky:

"Hermons's injuries were healed in half a year? Did they really find the 【Creation Room】? When he appeared just now, I was really startled. Fortunately, the Guardian notified us in advance, and the church also sent a thirteen-ring."

But the purple-eyed girl on the side was not so relaxed. She frowned and looked at the cards in her hand:

"The result of the divination is still not right, very not right. Miss Bernice, we need to prepare to support Xia De."

"Is this your helper?"

On the hill, amidst the intertwined gold and silver light and conflicting energy, Mr. Granger asked the stone statue boy, and the stiff voice replied:

"Considering the influence that the church's power might have, it is necessary to lure the church's thirteen-ring sorcerer away. Now there is a relic runaway incident in the city. Within fifteen minutes, no thirteen-ring will be able to come to support."

"Mr. Granger, finish it quickly, I have a very bad premonition!"

Xia De, clutching his heart, gritted his teeth and said the same warning as Luweiya down the hill. Mr. Granger pressed forward step by step, and the stone statue boy retreated step by step. When the stone statue boy finally retreated to the front of the Black Mud Fountain again, it stopped:

"Enough."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Mr. Granger was puzzled, but still followed Xia De's reminder and extended his right hand, wanting to touch the stone statue's chest. Destroy that sacrificed believer's heart, and this stone statue could only be a stone statue.

"Before the first Randell flower blooms, my allies and I both want to confirm your true identity. So, now I need a mirror."
