Chapter 1441: The Final Action

~10 min read 1,873 words

"Not just us?"

Fiona looked at her teacher curiously, and the half-elf said softly, as if afraid of disturbing invisible existences:

"On a certain night some time ago, when I was meditating on the moon, I heard a voice not belonging to this era, claiming to be the demigod of the Witch Emperor Violet, sending some information from the distant future. Fiona, you should understand what this represents."

"And the good news is that we happen to be in the 'middle' position."

Miss Miss Feilian said calmly, and then, as if she had just thought of it, blinked at Fiona: "Fiona, why have you been standing there? Sit down."

A new chair appeared out of thin air beside the table.

"Isn't it because you were angry and made me stand?"

Fiona whispered in her heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud. She walked to the table with the time key.

"Tell me more about your adventure."

The teapot flew up automatically, pouring tea for Fiona, and Miss Olanod snapped her fingers again, and the girl with white ash on her clothes immediately became brand new:

"Tell me about Xia De."

So Fiona hesitated and reached into her small bag. Most of her personal belongings, including that eggshell book, were left behind in the Eternal Night City during the escape, and she could only go back to get them after a while. But there was one thing she had always carried.

Xia De's coat was taken out by Fiona:

"I'll wash it for him, I forgot to return it to Xia De, I'll return it to him next time I see him." The young girl stammered, afraid of her thoughts being seen through.

"It's really interesting that this coat didn't disappear after Xia De left."

Miss Miss Feilian said softly, and the pages on the table flew downstairs, letting the witches who avoided this conversation come back. Miss Olanod continued to talk to her student about Xia De, wanting to know the details of every story.

Mana Miss Feilian took a deep breath, listened to the story in her ear, picked up the teacup again, and looked at the place where Xia De had just disappeared:

"We will meet again, right?" (Little Mia running...)

Because this was not a normal mission, Xia De did not see the shadow of the Tree Father again after returning from the past time, let alone obtain any rewards.

But saving Fiona and seeing Miss Miss Feilian and Miss Olanod again was enough. Not to mention, he obtained the last spiritual rune of the Fifth Ring and obtained a brand-new fairy tale lock again.

Even if he hadn't been suppressing himself at this moment, Xia De felt that he could advance to the next level at any moment.

Although the girls at the Wang Erde Opera House didn't know what Xia De had experienced just now, seeing Xia De again and seeing that he was in a good mood, they knew that the story in the past had a good ending.

And after dealing with Fiona's matter, the last thing of this long night, which was also the most important thing, was finally about to arrive.

In the interval between Xia De's fourth opening of the time key and the fifth opening of the time key, he first went to the outskirts of the city with Miss Sylvia to find Miss Danister, and then ran to Saint Byrons for a night walk with the elf girl. Although returning from the outskirts of the city was done by opening a teleportation portal directly, and the fifth time key adventure only took three seconds, such a long time was enough for the situation in the Randall Valley area to undergo further changes.

Since the large earthquake in the early morning, continuous small earthquakes had almost never stopped in the Randall Valley area. The strange gray snow turned into a blizzard, black mud symbolizing the distortion of the earth gushed out from the cracks in the ground caused by the earthquake, crazy elemental giants attacked living people wantonly, and the crazy earth occupied those normal lands step by step.

Compared with the first half of the night, the intensity of the battle in the second half of the night after midnight had completely reached the level of the Battle of Mid-Hill Fort last autumn. Not limited to fossilized creatures and earth elemental genies, more and more monsters related to the "earth" appeared in the darkness amidst the drifting snow.

Even though the church had mobilized more Ring Warlocks and made more preparations this time than during the Battle of Mid-Hill Fort, they still did not occupy a very obvious advantage.

And with the blooming of the first Randall Flower, the cultists hidden in the dark corners also began their actions.

Not only the cult that believed in the evil god 【Stone Heart Demon】, and the 【Blood Spirit School】 that didn't know why they were helping them, but also multiple illegal groups defined by the official, including the 【Mirror Association】, 【Sleeping Monastery】, and 【Black Forest Home】, all appeared in the large creek area and mountain woods in the eastern part of the Randall Valley. Even the Creation Church reported discovering the presence of the 【Truth Society】, but this time they seemed to be just here to join in the fun and collect data.

Not only the cults that believed in the evil god 【Stone Heart Demon】, and the 【Blood Spirit School】 that still did not know why they were helping them, but also multiple groups officially defined as illegal, including the 【Mirror Association】, the 【Sleeping Monastery】, and the 【House of the Black Forest】, all appeared in the Tahiti and mountain forests in the eastern part of the Randall Valley. The Creation Church even reported discovering the presence of the 【Truth Society】, although this time they seemed to be just there to join in the fun and collect data.

"Then, what is the next action?"

Miss Sylvia, Xia De, Luvia, Xilisi, and the three witch apprentices gathered in the basement of the Opera House. All the girls looked at Xia De, and Xia De, who had no worries, hugged the cat in his arms. He could finally execute the plan:

"I will go directly to the Night Temple through the Church of the Forgotten. If Iluna received the earlier message, she should have arrived too. The four gems are in hand. I want to open the Butterfly Cemetery and try to enter the location of the Earth's Heart with Iluna. With that fragment, this should be no problem. If we can see the Guardian before he goes completely crazy and appears on the ground, there is still a chance to save all this."

At this moment, the "Earth's Heart Fragment" that Xia De obtained from the disappeared secret passage was packed in a gray stone box and placed on the table aside.

Although except for Luvia, the other girls couldn't fully understand what he was saying, this didn't prevent them from knowing that this was Xia De's own action.

"Then what about us?" Miss Sylvia asked.

"Miss Sylvia, you take Luvia and..." He hesitated for a moment:

"Take Luvia and Xilisi together, leave the city and join the Great Witches. If I can't make it in time, I'm afraid I'll have to stop the Guardian on the ground and hold the Chosen ritual. Oh, you take this."

He took out the Holy Grail that had been turned into a toy by a large amount of spirit from his pocket, and gave the "Healing" and "Memory" in it to her:

"You have all the materials for preparing spiritual medicine, to prevent accidents. Remember, safety first."

And letting Miss Sylvia take Luvia and Xilisi was because they all had Earth Power.

"Also, the girls staying at the Opera House, notify Miss Galina and the others that they can prepare for the final battle. Of course, there is no need to deliberately stop and do nothing, after all, the time has not been completely determined."

"It's a pity, we don't know where the Chosen ritual is."

Luvia said regretfully, but she looked at Xia De. Xia De knew what she meant. He still had the last special coin 【Emperor's Banquet Copper Coin】 in his hand.

But Xia De didn't want to use it for the time being. "Okay, I will pay attention to safety."

Miss Sylvia nodded, and Xia De asked again:

"Where is Iluna now? Did she reply to us after receiving the message?"

"Miss Miss Beiyasi just gave the signal that she received the message, and did not give a more specific reply. Now the city is very chaotic, and she probably can't find a good opportunity."

Miss Hailey Aurora said.

Compared to Tifa who participated in the Tobesk Darkness Descent event and Miss Rita Swift who participated in the Battle of Mid-Hill Fort, this young Miss Aurora was participating in an event close to a large-scale battle for the first time, so she was a little excited in addition to worry.

"Do you need me to follow and leave the city together?"

The black-haired maid asked Xia De. Among the three apprentices, only she was a Seven-Ring, and very close to an Eight-Ring, so she could also provide help.

"No need, the city still needs you. Of course, there is also the report to the Council."

Time was very tight. After determining the action plan, Xia De just hugged Luvia and set off alone again.

It's just that compared to going to the Osenfurt Manor in the first half of the night, this time he brought his 【Night Watcher】. As for Mia, Xia De thought about it again and again and didn't take her, but let Tifa, who stayed at the Opera House, take care of her.

The distance from the Wang Erde Opera House to the Church of the Forgotten on Cherry Leaf Street was very close. Xia De walked along the shadows of the low walls on the side of the street wearing a cloak, looking at the chaotic city after the earthquake, and the sense of urgency in his heart became more intense.

Not everyone could find a safe shelter area in advance. Even with the early warning from the City Hall, tonight was a night that the citizens of the entire Randall Valley city would never forget in their lives.

After entering the church in the snow, Xia De didn't stay long. Walking silently on the walkway among the benches, he looked up at the holy emblem, patted the shoulder of Mr. Lasers' stone statue when passing by, and walked toward the basement without looking back. ===== CHAPTER 1442 =====

Not everyone could find a safe refuge area in advance, and even with the early warning from City Hall, tonight was a night that the citizens of the entire Randall Valley city would never forget in their lives.

After stepping on the snow and entering the church, Xia De did not stay long. He walked silently along the aisle between the benches, looked up at the holy emblem, patted the shoulder of Mr. Lathers' stone statue as he passed, and then walked toward the basement without looking back.
