Chapter 1362
Hands together, a hundred arms stretched out.
The Miracle Element erupted, like a sun falling into the night of late winter. The black mud evaporated, the stone mirrors shattered, and the strong wind dissipated. Even in the strong light, Xia De still clutched his heart and stared wide-eyed at the sky, breathing heavily and unconsciously because of the violent ups and downs of his mood:
"It really is like this, there are no Guardians at all. The Guardians have never appeared before me twice at the same time. Every time different Guardians appeared, their soul strength was surprisingly consistent. Luvia said Mr. Fleming was just a part of the Chosen One, and that's the reason. Osenfort warned me that the soul of an ordinary individual is not qualified to resist demons, and that's also the reason—the truth about the Guardians is: all souls merge with each other, they, are one person!"
Facing the hundreds of stone statues copied from the Demon Mirror, hundreds of different wonders gave a counterattack. At that moment, it was as if the night suddenly turned into day, and then the explosion in the sky almost made people doubt that even the city could hear the movement.
Except for the two sides of the battle, Xia De was the person closest to the center of the explosion. He had no doubt at this moment that the reason the demon didn't directly attack the Guardians wasn't just because it wanted to play conspiracies; it was highly likely that Goethe himself didn't have the certain assurance that he could 100% defeat this soul aggregate that existed specially by borrowing some kind of power.
And the Guardians calling Xia De to deal with the Lunder Valley problem several times was definitely not because they couldn't purify the land themselves; it was simply to show weakness to the demon, letting the demon not see through him:
"In this situation, how did the previous Sixth Era actually head toward destruction?"
When the chaotic-colored spiritual light in the night dissipated, only the grim-faced Mr. Lathers remained standing there, and the hundreds of arms around his body had disappeared. Around him, the stone statues that walked out of the mirrors had all disappeared like hallucinations, and even those tall stone mirrors on the ground had been destroyed.
The initial child stone statue fell from the air into the black mud on the ground, and Mr. Lathers also fell beside Xia De, reaching out to continue healing his wounds. Of course, he was so concerned about Xia De and not concerned about his own daughter, not because he had any special feelings for Xia De, but purely because Xia De could help him heal the earth, while Miss Lathers could not:
"Be careful, it's not over yet, that stone statue..."
Xia De squeezed the sound out from between his teeth, so the Guardian turned to look, only to see a crack on the surface of the stone statue running from the left shoulder to the right leg. That crack happened to pass through the position of the stone statue's chest, and then the heart that had just been put in actually fell out.
It's just that what was swallowed by the stone just now was a bleeding flesh heart, but what fell out from it at this moment was actually a stone heart emitting black smoke.
Regardless of what this meant, Xia De and the Guardian both took action immediately. Moonlight and mud missiles hit the stone heart that fell into the black mud together, but that heart seemed to have consciousness itself, actually going against the direction of the black mud flow and falling directly into the earth rift that was already extremely weak and gushing black mud.
And after that heart fell into it, the continuous earthquake finally stopped, and at the same time, no more black mud gushed out from that rift, and the black mud even had signs of flowing backward. Xia De was surprised to feel that the distortion of the earth was being cleared, but the means of this clearing were completely different from his use of "Earth Power · Healing Aura":
"I am purifying the pollution, and that heart directly absorbed the power of the pollution."
The black wind that stopped after the duel between the stone statue group and the Guardian blew up again, and then everyone in the area, except Xia De, including Mr. Lathers who was a special spiritual body, felt a strange tinnitus, as if they heard a sharp whistle piercing the night, but it was also like the huge noise produced by rock friction.
The fallen earth elemental giants with significantly weakened aggression all knelt around the small hill, while others felt a shiver coming from the depths of their souls. Something was watching here, watching everyone here. "What's wrong with you?"
The Guardian asked Xia De. Xia De looked down at himself; a crack opened in the center of his palm, and brilliant golden radiance shone out. Then the cracking spread to his whole body, until it penetrated his eyes, and even made the hem of his clothes drag out golden-red embers.
"Oh, you scared me, I thought that heart absorbed the filth here and was going to self-destruct."
The pressure was getting greater and greater, so much so that even the thirteen-ring Guardian was subconsciously bending over, until he had to support the earth with his arms to keep himself from kneeling down.
He noticed the golden radiance moving to his eyes, noticed those golden-red embers with sparks drifting onto his spiritual body.
"Fortunately, it just attracted the gaze of an Evil God."
Xia De clutched his heart and stood on the top of the hill, looking up at the silent and pitch-black night sky. The night wind made the radiance on his body drag out a golden stream of light, as if a dazzling torch had been lit on the summit.
The night sky at this time had a colorful black luster, and black clouds formed a vortex above his head. He could vaguely see that in the depths of the night sky, a huge black figure was composed of a few starlight, clouds, and the night color, and the feeling that was oppressing everyone at this moment came from there.
Human language could not describe the greatness of that figure. Any sense that touched Him seemed to be just touching a grain of sand while trying to understand the whole world. The soul trembled instinctively, making people unable to help but lower their heads. Even a momentary gaze from a high-dimensional existence had already begun to change the most basic rules of this area.
The soil solidified into stone, and all flesh-and-blood creatures felt themselves become heavy and unable to move. Even though the wind was still blowing, the sound had completely disappeared, as if the entire world had been petrified.
Fortunately, when Xia De was at the first ring, he had encountered the gaze of the "God of the Drowned" in Tobesk City with Dorothy, and that time the puzzle solved the trouble. At this time, at the fifth ring, he would not fear the gaze of an Evil God even more.
The strong wind made the radiance on his body drag backward. He used his glowing hand to pull out the stopper of the small pink bottle, but did not drink it immediately:
"Guardian, since I have already learned the truth about you. After this matter is over, would you be willing to talk to me in detail?"
The soul struggling to support his body gave a difficult answer:
"You know the truth about me, and the demon also knows the truth about me. Moreover, after this incident, the distortion of the earth will enter the third stage, and the speed of the earth's mutation is getting faster and faster. I must guard by the Heart of the Earth to stabilize the distorted earth. When I have temporarily stabilized the earth, I will take the initiative to find you and hold the ritual you mentioned, at most, within a week."
"That's good, if you don't come to see me when the first Lunder flower blooms, then Miss Lathers and I will go to see you! At that time, you must be prepared to immediately perform the Chosen One ritual!"
Xia De only had time to finish this sentence before he felt the gaze of the god in the void completely gathered on him. He had once destroyed the statue of this god under the demon's inducement, and this was not without a price.
Thus, he tilted his head and drank the essence in the small pink bottle in one gulp. The first second felt like accidentally drinking the perfume on Leisia's dressing table, but then the explosive heat surged from his stomach to his whole body.
The thick black night, for some reason, made Xia De suddenly think of the scenery in the City of Eternal Night in the previous era. Although the power of the moon he mastered was part of the night itself, Xia De did not like this lightless night. What he was fond of was still that holy silver moon, still that moon that always kept its mysterious veil.
"She" chuckled in his heart, and the feeling of the desire essence surging into his head like drunkenness had already made Xia De feel that his consciousness was beginning to become chaotic.
At this time, he still could not use the puzzle in a complete state, so an strange smile appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand wearing the witch's ring and pointed to the colorful black night sky. In the howling wind and the swirling snow and gravel, he pointed to the indescribable god that only he could see:
"Praise—the Silver Moon!"
Moonlight bloomed on the hill, illuminating the young outlander's figure, which was not tall but definitely straight.
Xia De had actually never used his "Light Spell" with full force, because this move was really too bright, and if it was an enemy that could be eliminated by just the Light Spell, he could actually eliminate it by relying on the Moonlight Greatsword.
And at this moment, the massive amount of spirit transformed from the desire essence, under the influence of Xia De's slightly affected mind, completely turned into the most
pure moonlight, blooming at his fingertips.
And this time, the moonlight was not as dazzling as before, but rather quite gentle, so much so that the people watching this scene under the hill didn't even feel their eyes sting.
They just saw gentle silver moonlight scattered on the top of the hill. The moonlight was so natural, as if a hole had been opened in the cloud layer of the sky, letting the light shine through to the ground.
The holy moonlight made everyone intoxicated, and when Luvia was the first to wake up, what she saw was the completely restored suburban forest. The black clouds dissipated, and the stars filled the sky. If it weren't for the flames still burning in the forest, and the remains of the huge stone mirrors vaguely visible on the top of the hill, she would have even thought that everything just now was just an illusion.
Of course, faint moonlight still remained on the ground at this time. The power of the Silver Moon blessed this land; this was a phenomenon that always appeared after Xia De used the "Light Spell".
"Miss Bernice!"
Luvia hurriedly woke up the witch who was still a bit dazed. Just as she was about to bring back Xia De, who was in an unknown situation on the top of the hill, she saw a group of red butterflies flying over like a torrent in the night:
"I'm fine!"
Xia De panted heavily and changed back to his own appearance, one hand supporting the tree trunk and the other clutching his chest, panting heavily. There was an unnatural redness on his face, and when he panted, it was as if he was going to breathe out his entire lungs.
