Chapter 1610: Nothingness

Returning to the warehouse from Silver Cross Avenue didn't encounter any trouble, but Xia De didn't let the driver send him directly to the warehouse gate, but got off at a nearby street and then walked the last part of the road holding the cat.

It was just that after approaching the warehouse, he found that there was fighting in the courtyard where nothing happened from a distance. Looking carefully, it was clearly Dr. Schneider, Luweiya, and Dorothy fighting with two strange eight-ring warlocks:

"Attackers again?"

Xia De was very surprised. When he wanted to join the battle, Dr. Schneider asked him to hurry into the warehouse:

"We are fine, you go inside, the priest alone can't suppress it!"

"Okay... Diviner!"

The glowing black key was like a pure white seed in the foggy night. The key was thrown to Luweiya by Xia De. After she grabbed the key, the light had extended into a long staff. Although she had never seen this relic, the moment she grabbed 【Staff of Yggdrasil】, she completely understood what it was.

Xia De didn't explain, and rushed into the warehouse holding Mia. And Luweiya, whose eyes were glowing with purple light, turned around fiercely. As the bottom of the staff tapped the ground lightly, the time flowing normally in her eyes actually became incomparably slow.

"Priest, what's the situation?"

After entering the warehouse, Xia De saw Priest August hurriedly sprinkling salt, and the long sword placed on the coffin was clanging with the shaking of the coffin.

The old priest was already sweating profusely:

"You're back? The two eight-ring warlocks outside didn't know what means they used, making the relic almost lose control... The coffin lid just popped open a crack, but I suppressed it with that power. I can only do it once in a short time, what is inside this?"

"Mia, don't move around."

Saying that, Xia De put the orange and white cat on the constantly trembling coffin. Because of the shaking of the coffin, Little Mia was obviously not very happy, but since Xia De made a request, it could only meow aggrievedly, and then watched Xia De also grab the salt.

But the arrival of the cat was obviously still very useful. When Mia sat down, the coffin that almost seemed to want to "dance" on the ground became stable. Although it was still shaking constantly, it was at least an acceptable degree.

The unhappy Mia looked down at the coffin, flicked its tail, and then patted the coffin board with its front paws twice. So, the coffin finally became completely quiet.

Although the coffin no longer shook, it was still rapidly evaporating the falling table salt. Xia De and Priest August had to repeat at least five times to completely cover the school emblem pattern with table salt.

And while they were working nervously, the battle outside was also quite fierce. Although Xia De was worried about Luweiya and Dorothy, he also knew that the girls he cherished had their own pride and power.

The door of the warehouse was wide open, so he could see that both sides in the battle deliberately suppressed their power to prevent the movement from being too big and attracting the attention of the church. Therefore, this battle was destined to be restrained by everyone, otherwise the battle of ring warlocks would definitely not be delayed for such a long time.

But the battle could not continue forever. Finally, Luweiya relied on the staff in her hand and used the basic spell "Protection of Ripples"—that is, using ripples to defend against energy-type attacks—to block the most fatal attack for everyone, allowing Dr. Schneider to extract his hand to seriously injure one of the enemies.

In this way, the battle that was originally stalemated finally revealed the clue that the winner was about to be revealed. The strange ring warlocks saw that there was no possibility of victory, so they retreated together. It was just that the Sleeping Princess in a long dress appeared behind them one step ahead and hit one of them with a spindle.

Originally, "Sleeping Princess" would not have an immediate effect on an eight-ring warlock, but after being weakened in mental power by Dr. Schneider, the hit eight-ring warlock still closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

His companion, the man who could fly close to the ground, abandoned him without hesitation. And before the fleeing man disappeared, he still did one thing, which directly caused all the efforts of Xia De and Priest August to be in vain:

"Praise you! Non-existent nothingness! Send everything to the silent eyes! The deathly silence power that erases all things!"

With a Peng~ sound, the coffin lid in the warehouse was blown open directly, and Xia De, Mia, and Priest August were all blown away to the distance by the huge impact, but Xia De grabbed the cat in time to prevent it from being injured.

The eight-ring warlock spat blood and disappeared, while Luweiya looked up fiercely. In her eyes glowing with purple light, the night sky with rapidly gathering huge black clouds was reflected. In just a few seconds, the black clouds had completely covered the night sky where zero stars could still be seen, black thunder flashed in the black clouds, and the dull rumbling sound didn't know how many people's dreams before dawn were awakened:

"Terrible!"

The doctor's reaction was faster, having already entered the warehouse one step ahead. And the blown-open coffin lid allowed the white ash inside the coffin to drift out and make the warehouse filled with heavy dust.

In that choking dust, Bill Schneider was shocked to see the figure sitting up in the coffin. The corpse wrapped in bandages was originally lying down, and after the coffin lid flew off, what was seen was the roof, so the roof of the warehouse disappeared like a pencil mark erased by an eraser. Even, the thick black clouds above the roof were wiped away by the appearance of the line of sight.

And as it stood up with both hands grabbing the side edge of the coffin, all physical matter seen by its eyes was disappearing. The line of sight moved slowly from above to the side, the warehouse wall, the carriage outside the wall, the warehouse courtyard wall outside the carriage, and the warehouse outer wall on the other side of the courtyard wall, and any physical matter existing in the air were disappearing. If it weren't for the fact that the relic had just broken through the containment limit, what disappeared at this time would definitely not be limited to the outer wall of the adjacent warehouse.

Dr. Schneider could even describe the movement trajectory of the corpse wrapped in bandages based on the disappearing wall extending downward from the roof. Whisper elements were filling this area at a very terrifying speed, and then disappeared quickly because they were touched by the line of sight.

Even though Bill Schneider thought he had seen many terrible things, he was still frightened at this moment. And after the terrified doctor came back to his senses, he discovered another terrifying fact.

It was not that the corpse that stood up looked at him at the warehouse door. The corpse in the coffin turned its head actively and made eye contact with Xia De, who was holding Mia and climbing up from the wall. Xia De didn't know the situation inside the coffin before, he could only feel that whisper elements were filling the surroundings like an explosion, and the Angel-level relic's mental interference ability even made him unable to bear it. And leaning against the wall holding the cat preparing to stand up, he saw the hollow line of sight of the figure in the drifting white ash.

"This is..."

He froze in place, unable to describe what he saw. Clearly it was a young man wrapped in bandages with a bald head, but in his perception, what he saw was a piece of nothingness. Nothing, completely empty. When the other party's white eyes made eye contact with him, he even felt that he was also going to turn into nothingness.

The scorching blood turned cold, the active thinking stopped, the body occupying the human position in space merged with nothingness, everything he missed, everything he missed, everything he loved, everything he tried to grasp, all disappeared. This world no longer possessed meaning, those "anchors" that made the Outsider like this world broke bit by bit, but at the same time, his soul, as never before, tried to...

"No!"

"Meow!"

Those figures he missed flashed in Xia De's heart one by one, and his cold heart regained the feeling of longing for everything because of the palpitation. Mia's voice made his thoughts return to normal for a short time, and the gentle voice of "She" beside his ear filled the huge void in his heart caused by the eye contact just now:

【Outsider, you have contacted "Whisper".】

【Outsider, you have gained insight into "Disappearance", "Indifference", "Nothingness".】

"Indifference..."

He covered his heart and leaned against the wall, not knowing when he was already sweating profusely, while Mia meowed as if she was very worried.

"Lie back!"

The doctor's roar appeared at the door, and then the giant obsidian claws appeared in the void on the right side of the coffin, blocking the corpse's line of sight toward Xia De and the cat. The burning flames covered by the obsidian palm even made Xia De feel the scorching heat.

The line of sight made the flame palm disappear, but it was summoned again by the doctor to fill it.

The corpse was unable to deal with the doctor with full strength, because on the other side of the warehouse, pure white light appeared almost at the same time in the white ash all over the sky. The phantom of wings flickered, and Priest August's prayer sound seemed to drive all the miracle elements around to resonate with it, forcibly suppressing the continued spread of the relic power.

One side flame and one side holy light, the power of the Angel-level relic collided with the power of demons and angels. The chaotic spirit and elements caused dense cracks to appear on the remaining walls of the warehouse. After a loud bang, the ground shook for this, and the "corpse" that turned to look at Xia De, although still grabbing the edge of the coffin with all its strength, was still pressed downward by an invisible big hand, lying back little by little. It was just that the speed was very slow, it didn't want to return to the coffin like this.

Just at this time—

"Sunlight Gun!"

The 【Staff of Yggdrasil】 surrounded by golden thunder passed through the smoke and dust filling the entire warehouse, and was thrown by Luweiya in the courtyard. The golden thunder spear that crackled and exploded almost pierced the corpse's head, but the thunder was erased by the line of sight moved by the corpse.

It was just that it could not erase the 【Staff of Yggdrasil】, which was also an Angel-level relic.

The thunder dissipated and the staff continued to move forward. Dong~ with a sound, the staff hit the head of the "corpse" squarely. Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the corpse fell completely into the coffin.

Xia De, who came back to his senses, waved his hand to let the black staff fly to him, and then he waved the long staff to let the coffin lid that had just been bounced off cover it back.

"Night Watchman!"

The warm cat curled up in his chest made his body feel warmth and heat. The influence of the relic was completely eliminated, and the indifference that denied all love and care in the world for a moment just now made the Outsider ashamed.

The long sword that was bounced off also flew back into his hand. Xia De held the sword in his left hand and the staff in his right hand, carrying Mia who was clinging to his shoulder, and pounced on the coffin.

The orange and white cat jumped onto the coffin lid and squatted down, and 【Night Watchman】 was also used to suppress the rioting relic again. But this was still not enough. Xia De, who had made up his mind, turned to look at the blonde long-haired and brown short-haired girls who came to the door.

He took a deep breath, and then in the worried expressions of Dr. Schneider and Priest August, his whole body bloomed with light.

Afterward, the shocked four people saw that in that light, the relics on Xia De's body fell all over the floor, and a silver-white cat jumped out and also squatted on the coffin. Under the suppression of the two "cats", the coffin finally calmed down.

"Ah?"

Dr. Schneider didn't react for a while that this was a transformation spell. Seeing the orange kitten rubbing against the silver cat, he suddenly reacted:

"Why did you just..."

"I turned into a cat, and we lost our combat power. And, before the coffin rioted, I wasn't sure if the cat I turned into could count as a cat."

"This is not the time to say this! Hurry up, such a big movement here, the church people are coming!"

Dorothy's voice pulled everyone back to reality. Although the carriage disappeared, she picked up the pumpkin that had been prepared in the warehouse, and smashed it toward the ground after casting a spell.

In the light effect of seven-colored light and small stars splashing, smoke rose, and the pumpkin carriage drove out of the smoke, but there was no horse, because the prepared mouse escaped during the chaos.

Luweiya blew Iluna's whistle fiercely. While the skeleton horse walked out of the black fog, the silver cat waved its front paws and used the living rope trick to put the reins on. The cat form could cast spells, but the spell effect would be severely weakened, fortunately Xia De had studied the "living rope trick" deeply.

Priest August jumped onto the driver's seat immediately, Luweiya picked up the long staff that fell to the ground and Xia De's other relics, and together with Dr. Schneider moved the coffin with two cats squatting on it into the pumpkin carriage, Luweiya even touched Xia De by the way.

Afterward, the three jumped into the carriage together, the priest waved the reins, and under the black clouds flashing with black thunder, they left the warehouse that was about to collapse like fleeing for their lives, and disappeared into the streets before dawn.

PS: Note, here Priest August is arranged to drive the carriage, because that horse related to the power of the Death Chosen One, among the four people and one cat present, except for Luweiya who was allowed by Iluna to use it, only Priest August could manipulate it. ===== CHAPTER 1611 =====

PS: Note, the reason Priest Ao Gu Si was arranged to drive the carriage here is that among the four people and one cat present, besides Lu Weiya, who was permitted by Yi Lu Na to use it, only Priest Ao Gu Si could control that horse, which is related to the power of the Chosen One of Death.
