Chapter 1438: Lock·Cinderella

The voice in his ear sounded just at the right moment:

【Under the deep night curtain, the lonely and helpless girl prays to the world for change. And responding to her is you, who once made a promise to her. Neither the pumpkin carriage nor the crystal shoes are important, and the prince in the palace high above is not important; the only thing you care about is her at this moment.】

【You listened to the fairy tale you told, and you gained the enlightenment of civilization.】

In an instant, the golden light marks on the life ring even dispelled the "hand" extended by the Night God. More than half of the hall of night was illuminated by the spiritual light behind Xia De at this moment, and Fiona, who was holding his hand tightly behind him, also felt an unusual power in this light.

Amidst the surging steam, the letters suspended in the air gathered toward the life ring, and the brass-colored enlightenment spiritual light shone. All the words overlapped on the life ring, condensing into a brand-new power.

【Outsider, you have engraved the Huang Tong Enlightenment Spiritual Rune—Cinderella.】 【You have obtained the Miracle—Lock·Cinderella.】

On the scorching life ring wrapped in steam, the Five-Ring Enlightenment Spiritual Rune belonging to the Fifth Ring quietly emerged.

Miracle—Moon Thorn, Moon Shadow, Blasphemy—Arrogance, Enlightenment—Cinderella, Whisper·Puppet. The four types of spiritual runes of the Fifth Ring were finally complete at this moment, and Xia De had already vaguely felt the power belonging to the Sixth Ring.

Instead of praying for power to the next ring, while the power of the ancient god approached and his own state of divine radiance reached its limit, following the throbbing in his heart, Xia De asked the girl behind him very seriously:

"Miss Fiona Fiona Delage, the bell of midnight has already sounded. In accordance with the promise, are we going home?" The Red Dragon girl was slightly stunned, looking at the young man with golden flowing light all over his body:

"Yes, we should go home."

As the words fell, the bell symbolizing the arrival of midnight actually rang in this silent hall of God. The ceiling above his head was also melted into a large hole at this moment, and then the full silver moon appeared in the starry sky in the night.

The castle of eternal night had never had moonlight, but at this moment, the silver moon shone on him and her.

Come to think of it, the initial form of every lock of Xia De seemed to be marked by the appearance of the silver moon. "My princess."

With Xia De's soft call, the moonlight shone on Fiona. With the trembling of 【Witch Echo·Fiona】 in Xia De's soul, dreamlike silver light spots appeared from beneath her feet, swirling and sweeping over her whole body.

While the young witch opened her arms and looked at those light spots in surprise, from bottom to top, a bright red long dress replaced the original dress and appeared on Fiona. The swirling light spots swept across her waist, and the originally thick tail became even larger, but it fit her figure so well; the swirling light spots swept across her back, and the small, thin wings automatically unfolded, then crossed the limitations of bloodline and age, turning into real dragon wings; the swirling light spots swept across her head, and curved dragon horns grew from both sides of her forehead toward the sky.

Twelve golden steps automatically appeared behind her, running through her Twelve-Ring life ring.

Silver light spots also entangled the two. While Fiona herself was "transforming" like a costume change, a thirteenth step appeared at the end of the twelve steps, and a closed door appeared at the end of the thirteenth step. While the twelve rings turned into thirteen rings and spun rapidly, at the end of drawing power from 【Witch Echo·Fiona】, the Twelve-Ring Fiona jumped over the intermediate process and touched the power of a demigod in the lock.

The night around was further repelled by the light of the silver moon above her head, and the dreamlike radiance on Fiona spread outward like a tide.

The empty palace changed its appearance. The long dining table with gold and silver tableware and delicacies appeared first, followed by crystal lamps flashing with light, landscape oil paintings describing the moon and the sea of trees, portrait oil paintings of seven demigoddesses including Luvia, whether shy or flamboyant, green and silver silk tapestries, a band with no one playing soothing music, and guests composed of shadows in the twisted night.

Outside the window was the city in the snow under the silver moon, the streets where the match girl wandered were empty; the giant trees in the sea of trees outside the city swayed, and the bonfire under the canopy burned lonely; in the center of the silent forest lake, on the lake island, only a phantom long sword was stabbed into the mud; and higher up in this castle, in the palace illuminated by the silver moon, the princesses in the coffins were still waiting for the prince's arrival again.

The power of divine radiance stimulated by facing the ancient god directly, and the initial throbbing after obtaining the lock, supported Xia De in using the lock.

And his fifth "fairy tale lock," Cinderella, actually had two characteristics. First, and most importantly, it gave those girls Xia De had encountered the strongest power Xia De understood they could master.

And for Fiona, that was the posture of a demigoddess capable of leaving an echo.

The lock was successfully built, but the god silently "reached out" to the two for the second time. The banquet scenery formed by the shadows in the night was quickly eroded by the deep night.

And this time, Fiona pushed Xia De behind her. The demigoddess, who had left the ground and was flying in the air, faced the god directly, and then used the power that should be used most at this moment:

"Run!"

Time stopped. Fiona, with her wings spread, held Xia De's hand, withstood the god's pressure, turned into a red stream of light, and broke through the door leading to the "Place of Dusk," bringing Xia De to the sky above the Eternal Night City.

The scenery of the "Fairy Tale Town" in the lock perfectly merged with the Eternal Night City, so that even after leaving the god's hall, they were still within the influence range of the lock.

"What now?"

Even though she possessed the power of a demigod out of thin air, Fiona's soul was ultimately that of a weak Twelve-Ring witch.

The silver moon was gradually illuminating the Eternal Night City, but she knew that with only the power of a demigod, she still couldn't take the two away from here.

The power of divine radiance on Xia De's body did not fade. He looked through the door that had been smashed, across the terrace, at the god sitting behind the curtain in the deep palace. He did not let the two go, or rather, did not let Fiona go. The battle was still going on:

"Do you know how to sing that song?" "What song?"

"The princess in the castle won't understand..."

"She will, but here, it's impossible to open the way to..."

"Then fly with me, sing. Fiona, believe me, sing for me, take us home."

Hearing Xia De's words, the girl with the big tail pursed her lips and hugged Xia De with both hands, then flew toward the distance of the city with him at the fastest speed.

The full moon above their heads was like a lunar eclipse, gradually being swallowed by black shadows, and the city illuminated by the silver moon was quickly falling back into darkness. This represented the collapse of the lock. Even if Xia De's lock was powerful, he absolutely could not fight a full-body god with it in a mortal state.

But fortunately, 【Lock·Cinderella】 had a second effect besides "Witch Transformation," which was to ignore any conditions and situations, consume different spirits, and let Xia De take the surrounding entities or non-entities home.

If it were in the Sixth Era, and his spirit was sufficient, he might even be able to take the entire Randall Valley and appear in Tobesk, but the consequences would be hard to say. But in the current Fifth Era, No. 6 Saint Deran Square, which was "home," did not exist, so Xia De was not sure where he would end up.

"The princess in the castle won't understand, the freedom to walk in the world is what we pursue." "Meet a witch at a crossroads full of lavender, where are you going, to pick that bouquet of herbs."

"Pick up white snow on the top of the snow mountain, watch the sun in the depths of the desert."

"If you can meet us, dear girl~~"

"Please call our names softly, please ask your doubts."

"In the flower bushes where lilies bloom, or, where the sunflowers face west." "Please put on a beautiful dress, pick up the purple thyme."

"The person who loves you and the person you love are all here, in this palace filled with sunshine."

The night was chasing the two behind them. Possessing the power of a demigoddess, Fiona could better perceive how great the god was.

But hugging Xia De seemed to give her infinite power. She thought her singing voice would tremble, but in fact, the singing voice was so perfect that she couldn't even be sure if she could repeat it again.

But it didn't matter, because Xia De had recorded it with "Sound of Music." And the warmth Fiona felt was not him, but the cat that had turned back from a toy for some reason.

The kitten's head poked out of Xia De's pocket, looking curiously at the city like a chessboard in the night below, which meant the cat didn't have a fear of heights.

And Xia De didn't have time to take care of it either; he was trying his best to maintain the effect of the lock.

But just as Fiona said, the witch's song could not open the passage to the council in the Eternal Night City, because the requirement to open the passage was to be out of combat; and Xia De's Lock·Cinderella could not exert its effect because the Eternal Night City imprisoned spatial power.

Thus, his hand reached toward Fiona's waist.

As Fiona's singing reached the end, his lock was also on the verge of collapse, and at the same time the night behind them was about to touch their backs, he pulled out the curtain of night and unfolded it violently against the wind in front of them:

"Fiona, go through it!"

Whether the curtain of night, the power of the demigoddess, and Xia De's fairy tale lock combined could take the two away from the Eternal Night City, there was actually no definite conclusion. But Xia De was looking at the process from the answer. The path that the elf girl Emilia had taken him through had clearly told Xia De what he needed to do. ===== CHAPTER 1439 =====

"Fiona, pass through!"

Whether the combination of the curtain of night, the power of the half-woman, and Xia De's fairy tale mystery could actually take the two of them out of the Eternal Night City did not actually have a definite conclusion. But Xia De was looking at the process from the answer; the path that the elf girl Amelia had taken him along had already clearly told Xia De what he needed to do.
