Chapter 1559
"Run!"
Even with Xia De's extremely strong spatial perception, he could only vaguely sense the position of the enemy from another space. Only by relying on "her" could he accurately locate the enemy.
He stepped forward and appeared directly in front of Miss Pharmacist:
"You point the way, I'll clear the path in front."
The number of enemies was not as many as expected, but the characteristic of being unable to be observed was quite troublesome.
Xia De and Miss Pharmacist ran out of the cemetery and left the forest one after another. Then Xia De relied on the long-range attack of the Lightning Spear and Shadow Sphere, as well as the wind blades and fireballs occasionally summoned by the Sorceress behind him, and the two fought while walking, finally returning to the small path in the woods in the dense fog.
And at this time, that strange buzzing sound sounded again. Dozens of dense tentacles actually poked out from the woods. Even if he didn't have megalophobia, Xia De still felt his scalp tingle at this moment:
"Light of Imprisonment!"
He waved his hands at will to summon dozens of light rings flying toward the rear, and then ran quickly toward the pier in the fog with the Sorceress.
Clearly the tentacles looked terrifying, but just like their strength being much smaller than Xia De's, their resistance to control-type miracles was also far lower than Xia De thought.
This time, he let Miss Pharmacist run in front, and Xia De kept throwing light rings backward behind her. Even though more and more tentacles sprang out from the woods, the two still boarded the pier before the tentacles blocked the small path from the forest to the pier.
That steamship was still parked in its original position. Miss Pharmacist, who was running in front, jumped onto the boat first. Just as she was about to call Xia De to come up quickly, she found that the boat was constantly rising.
Amidst the Sorceress's exclamation, two thick tentacles rising from the bottom of the lake pushed the boat into the high sky.
"Be careful!"
From an angle that Miss Pharmacist couldn't see, two rotating light wheels were thrown out by Xia De. After drawing an arc and flying in the fog, they neatly cut off the tentacles. The boat and the fragments of the tentacles fell downward, but the boat unfortunately fell on the mudflat in front of the pier. The hull cracked, and the expensive small compressed steam engine was directly scrapped.
Fortunately, although Miss Pharmacist couldn't exert the power of the eleventh ring, protecting herself from the high-altitude fall was no problem.
"Retreat to the water surface first!"
She said, took out another bottle of potion and drank it, and then stepped directly on the rippling lake water. Xia De also retreated to the lake surface by relying on the ability to walk on water. But before he could take the second step, a deep black shadow appeared under the lake water again, and then pushed Xia De and Miss Pharmacist into the sky: "Damn it, what exactly is it?"
Xia De's whole body scattered into a group of red butterflies, flying out from the tentacles that were trying to strangle him. While his body appeared in the air, the thick rope thrown out flew toward Miss Pharmacist, tied her waist, and pulled her out too.
【The tentacles come from space outside the material world; use "Spatial Stability Halo" to expel them.】
"But just now..."
【The monster fused with the corpse is different from this one.】 The miracle effect spread in the air, and the tentacles that were trying to pounce on Xia De and Miss Pharmacist again disappeared as if erased by an eraser. But the price of using 【Spatial Stability Halo】 in such an unstable spatial environment was the continuous sound of fine glass shattering, and even the white fog on the solidified water surface flowed slowly because of this.
The water surface tentacles disappeared, and Xia De and Miss Pharmacist fell back to the water surface together. But the Sorceress groaned, covered her head, and fell to the water surface. If it weren't for the "Living Rope Trick" pulling her waist to maintain her height, she would have almost lost control and fallen into the water:
"Don't get close to me!"
Even now, she still hadn't forgotten this matter, and then groaned in pain again. Fine sweat appeared on her forehead:
"I heard whispering, someone is talking... I understand, so that's how it is."
"What exactly is going on?"
Xia De asked while looking back at the island surrounded by dense fog. Dense, wriggling tentacles
had already filled the edge of the island, and among the pile of tentacles, Xia De actually saw a figure floating in mid-air with both feet off the ground. "Lightning Spear!"
He threw the silvery-white thunder without hesitation, but the dense tentacles automatically stretched out to help the figure, whose appearance could not be seen clearly, block the blow. Although the strength and negative resistance of the tentacles were not outstanding, it had to be admitted that their defense was very high.
"Can you still walk? If it's really difficult to move, you pull the rope, and I'll take you away. I'm quite confident in basic curses like the Living Rope Trick."
Xia De said seriously. The Sorceress gasped in a headache, raised her head, and looked at him with a complicated expression:
"I implicated you today. He doesn't want me to leave." The lady in the fog stood up with a trembling body. Judging from her expression, her head really hurt:
"The lingering sound of the family is still circling on the island. It turns out there is such a rule. I cannot kill on this island, otherwise, it will attract this kind of thing. It's really a new discovery."
She pursed her lips:
"Mr. Watson, you go first; he just wants to keep me."
The tentacles wriggling at the edge of the island, under the manipulation of the floating figure, were slowly attacking them on the water like an erupting sea tide.
"Who is he? He and those tentacles seem to come from another space, very close to the real space."
"I don't know either, but it must be related to the Edwards. You go first; this has nothing to do with you. I have a way to deal with him." She bit her lip. Because her own state was a bit bad, even the illusion disguising her appearance was slowly failing. Golden traces had already appeared in her green eyes: "The things here are not something you can handle. I will pay some price and can use my own power as an eleventh-ring Ring-Ringed Ringed Shushi. You go first, Mr. Watson."
"Sorry, I'm not the kind of person who leaves companions alone." His figure remained motionless in the fog.
"Don't say silly things. You don't think that by doing this, you can gain my favor..."
"You have a way to deal with him, what does it have to do with me?" Xia De turned his head and frowned at her. Miss Pharmacist, who was in a poor mental state, felt for a moment that the man standing in front of her had become taller than a hill. The terrifying pressure made her subconsciously hold her breath, and then she saw Xia De take down the black key from his chest again:
"Lady, I am really a sixth-ring; I didn't lie." He turned to face the island and the incoming tentacles, and the thick steam fog had already appeared from the void at this time. The steam fog mixed with the surrounding white fog, and the scorching heat made the Sorceress, who was connected to Xia De by the rope at her waist, even feel hot. The sound of bells, as if from ancient times, rang clearly in her ears, and the subsequent long whistle of the steam whistle was even more deafening.
The black shadow rotating in the fog was getting closer and closer, and the obviously abnormally large brass ring finally appeared clearly behind Xia De. Four-colored spirit light shone in all directions, and the light sprinkled on the Pharmacist
lady's face. She looked at the life ring and Xia De's back in astonishment:
"Really a sixth-ring? Wait, why is your life ring so big?"
"Are you sure this is okay?"
【It's okay, but you have to burst out with full strength. And just like the reminder given to you when you came to the island, the commotion will be very big.】
The fist holding the key tightly stretched forward, and the brilliant silver moonlight radiated from Xia De's palm. The simple and primitive power echoed with the huge life ring behind him. Even though she had seen a thirteenth-ring Ringed Ringed Shushi cast spells with full strength more than once, Miss Pharmacist still thought that the power displayed by this sixth-ring man at this time was surprising.
She felt the fog flowing, and the wind blew in the fog. The fluctuation of spirit and elements stirred the fog that was almost solidified. The golden sun, moon, and star ritual array appeared under Xia De's feet, covering the water surface, and even included Miss Pharmacist's position. For a moment, it seemed that the whole world had turned black, leaving only the silver light in front of Xia De shining on everything.
"In the name of Luvia Anate..." He whispered, and grabbed the long staff while the light extended to both sides. The spirit light on the life ring shone on the 【Staff of Yggdrasil
】. The relic and the life ring echoed each other. The resonating spirit and elements allowed the faint silver light to attach to Xia De. Under the radiance of the silver moon, the Sorceress behind him also felt her heart become calm.
Hundreds of dense tentacles were already getting closer and closer to the two on the water from the direction of the island, just like a giant's palm wanting to crush two small ants. Miss Pharmacist subconsciously called another name in her heart to seek help, but saw Xia De grab the black staff with both hands and lift it high, then fiercely stabbed it into the water under his feet:
"Space—Stability Halo!" Crack~ Crack~ Crack~
The continuous sound of glass shattering spread toward the island with the landing point of the wooden staff as the origin. The dense fog was completely stirred by the wind from nowhere, and the fog rotating on the water surface began to flow, until a strange spiral cloud pillar made of white fog formed above the island like a storm.
And on the water surface and lake surface, as the spreading glass shattering sound contacted those tentacles, the tentacles disappeared without a trace as if erased from thin air. And when the power of the Spatial Stability Halo finally touched the figure floating by the lake, the miracle and the figure stalemated for a few seconds. With a long sigh, the sound also disappeared completely as if erased by an eraser:
"The family will eventually reunite~"
Until this moment, the huge golden ritual pattern that appeared under Xia De's feet because of summoning the 【Staff of Yggdrasil】 slowly disappeared, but the ripples spreading outward from his feet on the water surface were still fluctuating.
The huge and exaggerated spirit just now also stirred the clothes of the lady behind Xia De. She was closest to Xia De and could best feel how ancient the essence of the miracle was and how exaggerated the effect was.
The life ring that had just burst into light like the sun disappeared behind Xia De. Xia De, who was gasping for breath, turned to look at Miss Pharmacist:
"I said I could do it... Are you okay?"
Behind him, the fog of the entire island had become thin, and above the island, the spiral cloud pillar seemed to connect the island and the sky. In the air on the water surface temporarily affected by the 【Spatial Stability Halo】, there were dense cracks visible to the naked eye everywhere. The surrounding white fog temporarily dispersed, and the radiance of the setting sun shone on that handsome face. In the brown-black pupils, her appearance at this moment was reflected.
At that moment, the Sorceress felt her heart stop beating for a second. The dizziness in her head made her somewhat dazed by the scene in front of her.
Some chapped lips moved, but couldn't make any sound.
"This man is really good. It's strange, what is this feeling now?"
The voice in her ear said.
【Yes, he is very good. But it's still impossible to determine if he is really a man.】
"The other me" was also adding.
"He..."
Under the setting sun, the Sorceress raised her hand to tuck the broken hair behind her ear, pursed her lips and shook her head at Xia De, then lowered her head to look at her reflection on the water surface:
"... Very good."
