Chapter 1452: Sacrifice and Red Butterfly

~11 min read 2,102 words

"There is another thing in the memories my father let me touch!"

After hugging Xia De for at least half a minute, Siris secretly wiped her eyes and pushed him away. The blonde girl tried her best to make her expression serious:

"Before that 'Filthy Chalice' takes shape, we must stop the Guardian. At the same time, we cannot let the Guardian in a crazy state forcibly hold the Chosen One ritual, otherwise the authority of the earth will be completely polluted."

"Is there any information about the Evil God 'Stone Heart Demon' and the cultists in the Guardian's memories?"

Xia De asked again, and Siris nodded:

"The Guardian searched for information about the divine descent ritual from the ancient memories of the earth. You have seen that the cultists possess three stone statues of a child, a youth, and an old man. In fact, those three stone statues are the sacrifices for the divine descent ritual. Do you remember the information about the divine descent ritual obtained by the Orthodox Church?"

"Flower, stone, soul?" Luvia asked.

Siris nodded and asked Xia De and Miss Bernice:

"Do you still remember what happened to the child stone statue we encountered earliest, which was the stone statue that the Guardian first defeated with all his strength?"

"The cultists offered their own hearts, allowing the child stone statue to possess a soul. But Xia De said that after the battle, the heart disappeared."

Miss Bernice said.

"Yes, this actually represents the soul voluntarily offered." Siris said. The two witches frowned slightly, and Siris continued to ask:

"Next, what happened to the youth stone statue that appeared in the Stonemason Association and even petrified the descendants of the Anjou royal family?"

Miss Galina said:

"I remember you told me that the stone statue was transported into the Stonemason Association in a normal stone state, and it was inconspicuous at first. But later, someone manipulated the body, smashed the head of the stone statue, and then cast a petrification spell on their own head, placing it on the stone statue... Xia De said that after the youth stone statue was defeated by the Thirteenth-Ring Shushis, the head melted into the earth and also disappeared."

"That was the stone head forced to be offered."

Siris said, so Luvia also understood:

"The sacrifice is actually like this? So, the final old man stone statue is some kind of flower representing autumn?" "These are all sacrifices, and the divine descent also needs a stone statue as a vessel."

Siris pointed out, and Xia De knew this:

"The stone statue came from the hands of Stone Osenfurt, that demon man with a broken heart who survived by his own stone heart... In this way, all the conditions are complete."

"What are you talking about?"

In the snowy forest behind them, Miss Aurora and Miss Silvia walked over together. The two witches looked a little disheveled, but at least neither was injured.

Miss Galina repeated what they had just discussed. Miss Aurora frowned slightly, but did not discuss the matter of the Evil God who might descend:

"Just now, news came from the Orthodox Church that the Guardian's chalice must not be allowed to take shape. Five minutes later, the three Thirteenth-Ring Shushis who have arrived, that Provost of the Sexes Higher Medical College, the Balanced Chosen One, plus us, will attack the twelve soil clones from different directions."

"Is that enough?"

Xia De asked, and Miss Silvia shook her head:

"If there are only these, of course it's not enough, but the Orthodox Church still has a group of High-Ring Shushis, as well as Ringed Shushis with great means who have been summoned and hired like us. That Sister Daelin cannot be contacted now, and your teacher, Miss Danister, doesn't know why she hasn't come yet. But the church should have other means. Just now, the joint strike of the two Thirteenth-Ring Shushis of the Nature Church and the Peace Church actually used the power of relics, and how many angel-level or even unknowable-level relics they can still take out, none of us can say for sure."

The reason why the Chosen One this time was so strong was entirely because the Guardian, even if he was not the Chosen One, was very strong himself. Compared to Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, Dac Nisi, Joey Barton, and Sir Puli Xia, the "Guardian of the Earth" was more like the predestined heir of the Ancient God.

heir.

Luvia looked at Xia De, and Xia De knew what she wanted to ask: "Miss Aurora, I will go with you in a while."

The witches all frowned, but no one objected to him saying this. Although Xia De had never said what he actually did every time he appeared at the scene of the Chosen One ritual, from the current point of view, except for Miss Bernice, everyone knew what role Xia De played.

"Is the Orthodox Church prepared to face the descent of the Evil God?" Siris asked Miss Aurora again, who nodded slightly:

"Don't worry about this, the church is no longer as unprepared as it was in Tobesk last summer. Besides, even if the church is completely unprepared..."

She glanced at Xia De, and Xia De pretended to have no reaction.

During the short rest time, everyone did nothing. Although there were four Great Witches here, it was finally decided that Miss Silvia would not participate in this battle which was probably the last one, because everyone might still need her to open a portal to send everyone back.

And taking advantage of the last five minutes, Luvia also quietly said a word to Xia De. Everyone thought Luvia was worried about Xia De, but in fact, the content of the conversation was not what they thought:

"Have you made a decision? Either kill the Guardian and let Siris directly hold the ritual; or purify the Guardian and still let the Guardian hold the ritual?"

Now that Osenfurt was dead and Siris had clearly refused to become the Guardian, these were the only two results. Of course, although the former seemed difficult, the latter was actually the most difficult to achieve, because even if Xia De still had a fragment of the Heart of the Earth in his hand, he might not be able to purify the Guardian.

After all, at the Heart of the Earth, two fragments had failed. "I'll decide for myself."

Xia De said, and Luvia nodded. In her view, as long as it wasn't the Mad Guardian holding the ritual, she felt it was a very good result regardless. And although she was still worried about the Evil God, the purple-eyed girl also knew that Xia De had his own plans.

After all, only she, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, and Sister Daelin clearly knew what great power Xia De possessed.

"She" in her ear asked Xia De at this moment:

【Maze · Cinderella, can let the girl beside you, "transform" and sublimate into the strongest form in your memory. After you advance by staining divinity, the power of divinity overflow is enough to open a maze once, just like when you fought Barton in death.】

Xia De knew what "she" wanted to ask, but he refused:

"Before opening the time key to 【Past · Sixth Era】, I won't do this. It's hard to say what happened in those destroyed histories. I can't call upon Luvia's power in the past at will now. Besides, the long-haired Luvia also doesn't approve of letting Luvia know what happened now. I promised not to take the initiative to talk about those things."

Calculating the time, before the five-minute short rest ended, Xia De avoided the witches and blew the silver flute he had been carrying with him in front of Luvia. The 【Butterfly Calling Flute】 also emitted a strange melody in the hands of Xia De, who had no musical instrument experience. And after that short melody, the butterfly patterns on the flute seemed to come alive, dancing on the flute surface and flying toward the snowy forest.

Those silver butterflies gradually scattered red light spots during the flight, and then the red light spots gathered together until the figures of Grace in a white dress and Helen in a black dress appeared.

The Red Butterfly girls frowned as soon as they appeared: "Is this the twisted earth?"

It seemed that the power of the Mad Earth had little effect on them as relics: "Sir, who are we going to kill?"

Grace asked Xia De, who put down the flute, eagerly. They had seen Luvia at Xia De's house, so they weren't curious about who this was.

"No, no, no, I said, I don't want to involve you in the struggle. Unless the end of the world is really here and everyone needs to contribute power, otherwise you don't need to expect me to let you fight enemies with me."

Xia De said, he really didn't want to let the suffering twins get involved in anything because of himself:

"I asked you to come this time, hoping you would use illusions to cover me."

He briefly explained the current situation and what he was going to do in a while:

"I'm going to break through the obstacles set by the Guardian of the Earth in a while, and the movement might be a bit big. It doesn't matter if the witches know it's me, but I don't want the church to notice me."

Grace and Helen understood Xia De's meaning, and the two girls who looked fifteen or sixteen years old nodded:

"No problem, sir, we are quite good at butterfly illusions."

"It won't take too long. When the ten minutes are up and the effect of the Butterfly Calling Flute disappears, I might not be able to say goodbye to you. After this is over, I'll go to Mibao to see you."

After everything was ready, to prevent others from noticing them, Grace and Helen turned into two butterflies and then landed on Luvia's shoulders, as if there were two inconspicuous patterns on her clothing.

Xia De took a deep breath, smiled at Luvia, who looked a little nervous, and then turned with her and walked toward where the witches were.

All the ladies were waiting for them at this time, and the final decisive battle was about to begin. "I'll wait for you to come back."

The purple-eyed girl took the initiative to stop, watching Xia De's back go away. "The church will send a signal in about thirty seconds, do you want to go with us?"

The first one he met was Miss Aurora, and the Great Witch asked cautiously. She only guessed that Xia De had a way, but didn't know what Xia De was going to do.

Xia De shook his head:

"I'll go first, I still have some confidence in myself."

Under the petrified lime tree where the trunk had almost grown a human face, Miss Aurora nodded to him: "I won't misjudge you, Xia De, take care."

Xia De continued to move forward. The red-haired Duchess who cast her gaze at him had worried eyes: "Xia De..."

She gently pressed her neck, as if she could still feel the temperature of Xia De's fingertips when he treated her:

"After returning to Tobesk, I have something to tell you."

Xia De also nodded to her and continued to walk forward. In the snowy forest at night, Miss Bernice appeared. The blonde lady looked at Xia De with a scrutinizing gaze and said with some approval:

"Let me see your power."

"You will see what you want. Next, it's my stage." Xia De said to her.

Continuing forward, then it was Miss Silvia. The Great Witch of Space had a smile in her eyes, and she asked probing:

"This time, can we still see the ancient witches?" Xia De shook his head regretfully:

"Probably not, the venue here is not suitable." "Then, I wish you victory in every battle."

Miss Silvia kissed his cheek lightly.

Continuing forward, on the way to the edge of the empty plot, the last one to appear was Siris. The young girl held her hands together in front of her chest, her eyes seeming to carry light: "You will come back safely, right?"

"Yes, this is also a promise."

Xia De nodded gently. The young girl took a deep breath and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she could only see Xia De's back, and those red butterflies dancing all over the sky. ===== CHAPTER 1453 =====
