Chapter 1453: Sixth Ring

Tens of thousands of red butterflies appeared in this snowy night at some point and were soon seen by everyone.

Those peculiar red butterflies had a translucent appearance. While dancing in the forest and the empty plot, as their wings flapped, they dropped dots of red light.

They circled around the figure walking toward the empty plot, as if playing with him, and as if walking with him. The red butterflies soon spread throughout the forest, and at the same time, from nowhere, came the gentle singing of a young girl.

Clearly it was the eve of the decisive battle, clearly the material world was on the cliff of disaster, but the scene before them inexplicably made the restless and uneasy atmosphere become quiet and... eerie. The singing was very immature, but also very sad. Listening to the singing, it felt as if a piece was missing from the chest, the feeling of losing the most important part of life, almost making one want to shed tears.

"What is this again?"

No one could answer this question, but everyone waiting for the final thirty-second signal in the forest saw the figure surrounded by red butterflies walk out of the petrified forest flowing with black mud and come to the edge of the empty plot. And at this time, the red butterflies all over the sky had already been flying like waves with the snowflakes over the entire empty plot.

This was an illusion cast by the top-level humanoid angel-level relic. Although Helen and Grace were not in their prime, they had already broken free from the shackles of the fate curse, and the two truly held hands and stepped onto this land.

The Guardian's huge petrified clone lowered its head and stared at the figure, and other gazes from the forest also stared at him. "Summoner of Gods!"

Someone whispered, and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, who was preparing to set off with the church team, had an excited expression on her face when she saw the red butterflies:

"Xia De..."

Xia De, who was walking forward, had already closed his eyes, listening to the sad singing of Helen and Grace.

After absorbing divinity from the Heart of the Earth, the power that had been held back and was about to burst forth was finally completely released at this moment. And the moment this long-suppressed impulse was realized, that sense of power was even more powerful than ever before:

"Please, prepare to advance."

Facing the gray snow blowing in his face, the red butterflies illuminated his blurred figure. In the shadow of the petrified forest illuminated by the firelight behind him, Xia De stepped forward on the illusory steps made of red butterflies beneath his feet and came into the air.

【Understood.】

"She" said gently, and at this moment, the divinity drop that was about to be used resonated actively with the spiritual rune 【Moon Shadow】.

Thus, above the night sky flying with snowflakes and tens of thousands of transparent red butterflies, the sky covered by dark clouds broke open a large hole, and the moonlight of the third month shone on Xia De, who had a large piece of steam mist slowly appearing behind him.

The thick steam mist with high heat, which had no reason but was boundless, covered the entire sky in the blink of an eye, but it could not cover the shadow that was illuminated by the moonlight and entangled by red butterflies.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

The bell from the ancient times was ringing, and the shrill whistle resounded through the entire Randel Valley Creek. In the city, Tifa held Mia, who was feeling the soft sensation, and stood at the window of the opera house, listening to the bell and looking toward the northeast of the city. Miss Swift and Miss Hayley Aurora didn't know what this meant, but she knew.

The black-haired maid lady had a faint smile on her face.

The wind rose in the forest, but it was not the cold night wind that had been blowing all night, but the gentlest wind under the moon that seemed to blow from the distant past, from the very beginning.

A huge shadow emerged from the depths of the steam mist that was gradually shrinking under the night sky, just like a great existence hiding in the fog showing its appearance. At this moment, it seemed as if thousands of people were cheering at the same time, and it also seemed as if thousands of people were shouting at the same time.

The life ring, which seemed to be larger than the moon, appeared clearly behind the figure who had reached the air. The brass wheel refracted the brilliance of the third month, and the four-color spiritual runes resonated. The dazzling golden, silver, brass, and black iron lights illuminated everyone's faces at this moment.

Luvia looked at Xia De in the air with a serious face, her purple eyes only holding that figure. The two red butterfly marks on her shoulders glowed faintly, and the transparent figure behind her, which no one could see, looked directly at the golden cracks that appeared faintly on Xia De's body.

The golden spiritual light sprinkled on Miss Aurora's face, and her gorgeous face had a probing look: "It really is him."

The silver spiritual light illuminated Miss Galina's worried face: "Must be careful."

Miss Silvia bathed in the moonlight, her face flushed with excitement: "Sure enough, it's him!"

Siris stood in the shadow of the trees, most worried: "You must come back."

Only Miss Bernice was swept by the four-color spiritual light in turn, but she still stared blankly at that figure. She fully understood what kind of story Xia De was about to interpret:

"This is the best story, the best stage."

Everyone in the church scattered in the forest looked up at that figure, but only Yin Yi Yi Lu Na muttered in her heart: "Every time it makes me wonder, who is the Chosen One. This movement is more exaggerated than the last."

Light and shadow intertwined on Xia De's body. As he obtained divinity and used the power of divinity time and time again, he was indeed becoming more and more adept at grasping this power.

As the life ring appeared clearly behind him, countless phantoms intertwined in the center of that huge life ring. Among the red butterflies dancing with the gray snowflakes and Xia De, more strange scenes appeared.

Xia De opened his eyes, looked at the Guardian who finally looked at him below, and walked in the air. Miracle—Moon Thorn / Moon Shadow—

The golden spiritual rune detached from the ring body and appeared on Xia De's left side. The faceless woman wearing a thorn crown and holding a silver moon in her left hand appeared with her head lowered, and then overlapped with Xia De's body:

【When the silver moon hangs high, thorns and shadows cheer for you.】

Dense cracks appeared on Xia De's body, and the brilliant gold radiated out. Profanity-Arrogance--

The silver spiritual rune detached from the ring body and appeared on Xia De's right side. "Stone Osenfurt," whose two hands were clapping in an exaggerated arc, raised his head slightly, walked toward Xia De, and then overlapped with Xia De's body.

【The stone mirror reflects your arrogance and the world's.】

The silver moonlight almost turned Xia De's entire body into silver, and the thin steam mist that had not yet dissipated drifted around him like mercury.

Enlightenment-Cinderella--

The brass spiritual rune detached from the ring body and appeared in front of Xia De. The big-tailed girl wearing a maid dress flapped the wings behind her and flew toward Xia De. She did not overlap with Xia De's body. The illusory figure hugged Xia De and turned around, then happily kissed his cheek before becoming a part of him.

Xia De swore that he didn't know what was going on either.

【When the midnight bell rings, under the moonlight is the girl who came according to the agreement.】

In an instant, the illusion of "Fairytale Town" composed of five mazes flashed across the night sky, and the brass life ring radiated light like the sun.

Whisper-Puppet--

The black iron spiritual rune detached from the ring body and appeared behind Xia De. The puppet that had appeared at the Wilde Opera House flew toward Xia De riding the puppet flying dragon, and overlapped with Xia De's body at a speed that seemed to want to hit him to death.

【Everything in the world is a puppet of fate... except for you and me.】

Everyone on the ground, including the Guardian, looked at this scene in the air quietly. Although due to the obstruction of light and red butterflies, they could not see Xia De's face and that life ring clearly, this did not prevent people from feeling that extraordinary power.

"Sure enough, the Summoner of Gods is a demigod..."

Golden miracle, silver profanity, brass enlightenment, black iron whisper, four-color spiritual runes surrounded Xia De in a quadrilateral and gradually contracted inward. The four-color strange phantoms truly overlapped with his body. At the same time, the illusions and thick fog in the snowy night all disappeared, and only the red butterfly group accompanied Xia De. When that brass life ring like the sun kept rising until it completely overlapped with the three moons in the night sky, looking at the night sky through the center of the life ring, it actually looked like three moons of different sizes embedded in that life ring.

Xia De's figure at this moment completely

turned into light, and even the general outline of his body could not be observed. Brand new power was brewing in his body, which was another step toward the path of becoming a god.

【Outsider, guide a drop of divinity to stain the spiritual rune you prepared for the "Language of Sublimation."】 The voice in his ear whispered gently, and the sound of "drip~" seemed to fall into his heart.

The golden liquid guided by the soul stained the first spiritual rune of the middle-ring Language of Sublimation, which was also the figure of Xia De reflected by the ancient evil spirit:

"Miracle-Moon Shadow."

The light dissipated, but the rippling golden ripples spread in all directions. Although the wind and snow had not stopped, all sounds seemed to be stopped at this moment.

And when the golden ripples representing the divinity light touched Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's body at the edge of the empty plot, the seventeen-year-old girl suddenly trembled all over. At this moment, a sun seemed to ignite in her eyes, and all the exploration of brand-new power in the past completely merged into one at this moment. The power beating in her heart silently merged into her body, and she felt that she already understood what kind of power she wanted.

Divinity was absorbed by the spiritual rune, but the brilliance of divinity still illuminated Xia De. His body was slowly falling to the ground, but his eyes were still fixed on the Guardian in the center of the empty plot.

That huge soil colossus finally lifted its foot at this moment and tried to step on Xia De on the ground. But in the next moment, the witch light illuminating the night sky made the entire colossus melt into soft mud like the sun melting snow.

Thus, the other soil clones of the Guardian did not go to block Xia De again. After Xia De crossed the boundary line guarded by the colossi, new clones filled the original gap. ===== CHAPTER 1454 =====

Consequently, the other earthen clones of the Guardian did not go to intercept Xia De again. Only after Xia De crossed the boundary line guarded by the colossi did new clones appear to fill the gaps.
