Chapter 1638

To be honest, on a rainy night, the environment in the water is actually better than on the water surface; after all, it doesn't rain in the water. Once adapted to the environment and water body under Green Lake, relying on 【Underwater Breathing】 to move is not slower than running on the ice surface.

The water ghost group gathered underwater had already surrounded him when Xia De went into the water again, but as the witch-detecting badge glowed again, the water ghosts were "melted and burned" layer by layer, and the incomplete corpses littered the nearby riverbed.

Even if those special undead individuals that had been strengthened could break through the damage of the Angel of Death's power within fifty feet to the undead, after being severely weakened, facing the Moonlight Slash, Xia De could still easily defeat them.

【The novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, the source-changing app that all old bookworms are using,】

The underwater vision was even worse than on the water surface. Xia De didn't know how many water ghosts there were this time, but the number in his perception had already exceeded four digits. Just thinking about the source of these corpses made his scalp tingle.

And the most important target, the water-ghost-ified Rotten Eye Barry, had hidden himself in the water ghost group from the beginning. While the soft holy white light purified the water ghosts that came to besiege him layer by layer, Barry constantly shot pitch-black icicles infected by the whisper element at Xia De, but after the water ghost group was quickly consumed, he finally couldn't wait patiently for an opportunity and took the initiative to swim toward Xia De.

The conduction of sound under the water surface would be hindered, so the two didn't talk nonsense either. Barry still maintained a human form, but was as flexible as a swimming fish in the water. He quickly entered the range within fifty feet of Xia De. Because of the offsetting of the relic's whisper element, he did not suffer as much weakening as the other water ghosts.

Dense icicles appeared around him while he swam toward Xia De, and then quickly shot toward Xia De's direction. Xia De had already come into contact with these icicles possessing the whisper element just now and knew that this was not something that could be hard-carried casually. So he waved the long staff in his hand underwater, and after the rotating flying shadow balls collided with the icicles, gravel constantly fell toward the deeper part of the water surface.

The ugly water ghost got closer and closer to Xia De, the hatred on his alienated face was undisguised, and the chill made the water body become colder and colder, almost freezing. But Xia De was not afraid at all. It was no longer the time when he was at the first ring, facing the weak situation where he and Dorothy faced the scales going out of control and becoming strange.

"Sin Chains!"

Bubbles flew out from his mouth and then drifted toward the lake surface above. He summoned the black chains to wrap around his body, and then the Primordial Fire extending along the chains made that chill invading his body disappear completely, also as if putting on simple flame chain armor for him:

"【Sin Chains】 are ineffective against me."

He thought in his heart, and then held the staff with one hand and swam toward Rotten Eye Barry without fear.

The two figures, one left and one right, showed extremely fast speed in the dark water. White bubble chains were pulled behind their bodies while swimming. The moment the figure with the white color of cold ice and the figure with the red color of flames collided, the warm water splashes mixed with ice cubes like fountains stirred up on the ice surface even made everyone in the chaotic water battlefield look sideways.

In the distance, in the direction of the central island diffusing white mist, the figure entwined with a large number of tentacles was approaching, and the witch in the rain warned loudly, welcoming new enemies.

And under the water surface, Xia De endured the stench and hugged the water ghost in front of him. The long staff in his hand turned into a thunder spear and pierced through the water ghost Barry's pale relic heart head-on—of course, relics are not so easily destroyed. And the huge ice thorn transformed by the water ghost Barry's right hand also pierced through Xia De's left chest—due to the effect of 【Heart of Stone】, Xia De only felt that it was very painful.

The scorching Sin Chains bound the water ghost, making it unable to break free from the long staff jumping with silver-white thunder, and the water ghost's bubbling magic eye also stared at Xia De, making him unable to easily break free from the restraint of the ice thorn.

The flames on the Sin Chains melted the water ghost's hard ice, scorching its nearly semi-elemental body; and that ice thorn transformed from the lake water also released cold air from the wound to freeze Xia De's body. What was even more serious was that the kind of indifferent emptiness in the heart caused by being watched by the "Remains of the Nameless" surged into Xia De's heart again.

The whisper element of an out-of-control relic has a much stronger influence on normal people than a relic in a contained state. Even Xia De now still felt dizzy, as well as an indescribable feeling of going crazy and indifference to everything in his heart.

He knew that he still loved everything around him, but he felt that those were no longer important. The contradictory psychology made his mental power even more restless, and Xia De was also being affected by the relic, shifting little by little toward the abyss of going out of control.

Therefore, now he could only solve the water ghost in front of him as soon as possible, contain or stay as far away as possible from that damn heart.

Bubbles moved toward the upper side, the water ghost and Xia De "hugged" together, falling together toward the deeper part of the lake.

The hatred for Xia De in the water ghost Barry's fish eyes seemed to be even more scorching than the flames on Xia De's iron chains:

"Do you know? I spent twenty years! Twenty years, just to get to this step! Twenty years, how many twenty years can a living person have? I gave up the hope of ring sorcerer advancement, was sent by the sect, lived incognito here, dealt with that group of stupid hillbillies and brainless street thugs, twenty years, just to finally have the current operation. I clearly had already obtained the qualifications, clearly had already walked to the last step, clearly I had never made a mistake, why, why did you have to appear?"

The unwillingness and hatred in those words almost turned into a substantial curse. Xia De could fully understand his unwillingness and also knew how desperate he was at this moment.

After being plotted against by Megan, merging with the relic was probably not his idea, but a choice made by those two black-robed ring sorcerers to make him make up for his mistakes, making him "voluntarily" do it.

Now not only merging with the relic, but even he himself had become an undead. He had painstakingly operated in Green Lake City for so long, but eventually fell to this end. Xia De understood his hatred for himself, but the enemy is the enemy:

"Those people you killed and used for experiments, did they say these words to you?"

The thunder spear constantly destroyed the water ghost's body structure, but after the flesh and blood were destroyed, the cold ice would fill it up. Xia De was affected by the relic, his spirit gradually became abnormal, and the water ghost Barry was definitely not having a good time at this moment either.

Bubbles were rising from the water ghost's mouth and Xia De's mouth toward the top, but both of them had the ability of underwater breathing. Both of them knew that as long as they outlasted the other party, it would be their own victory, and both of them firmly believed that their own advantage was the greatest.

"Suffocate!"

The water ghost's normal eye stared at Xia De, and the holy emblem of an evil god flashed across the pupil. The feeling of suffocation was instantly perceived by Xia De, but then the feeling of suffocation disappeared.

The two continued to fall toward the deeper part of the lake bottom. Xia De used his left hand to hold the ice thorn, trying to wrestle with the water ghost to pull it out, while mocking:

"Don't you know where my 【Underwater Breathing】 comes from? I once witnessed the figure of your master, and then realized the ability of 【Underwater Breathing】."

"You blasphemer!"

The water ghost Barry endured the pain of being roasted all over his body and increased the force of piercing the ice thorn through Xia De's chest. At the same time, his abnormal mental fluctuations also caused the relic to produce further reactions. Dense icicles extended toward the Sin Chains and wrapped them, trying to extinguish the inextinguishable fire.

And on Xia De's body, his entire upper body had already been covered with thin ice, and a large amount of cold air spread toward the lake water with the falling two as the origin.

Emptiness, indifference, the meaning of the world was disappearing from Xia De's heart, but because he was still in the process of fighting for his life at this moment, he didn't care about this point. He only cared about letting the corpse in front of him truly head toward the final death:

"Blasphemer? If the conditions didn't allow it, I would even want to take you to Coldwater Port and see if the Scarlet Sect has any interest in transforming you into a merman!"

In the cold words, the light of the thunder spear in his hand was even more dazzling, and at the same time, Xia De's body also began to emit silver light. But this was not the usual soft light, but an abnormally cold silver-white moonlight.

It's just that this moonlight seemed to be closer to the essence of real moonlight. Because the moon itself is so lonely and cold.

"Twenty years of hard work, absolutely will not fail like this. I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled!"

While light appeared on Xia De's body, the water ghost also became more and more crazy. The chill in the ice layer on his body had already made the two unable to make any movements other than speaking and blinking. The black iron-colored light representing the whisper element flickered with visible ghostly light at the bottom of the deep lake.

The cold white light and the deep ghostly light stirred into a ball. If the heart was not dealt with in time, it was possible that the entire Green Lake would be frozen.

"Twenty years! How many twenty years can a life have!"

The ice thorn entered Xia De's chest cavity further.

"You no longer have a life! You are already dead! You were resurrected by your companions into a water ghost!"

The cold moonlight had a more untouchable sense of holiness, and the water ghost's face actually began to melt in this light. The scales of victory were shifting toward Xia De.

"Death! Death is just a new beginning, and you will eventually be abandoned by everyone, will eventually sink into an abyss that no one knows! Haven't you noticed? Why haven't we touched the bottom of the lake yet! Is Green Lake really that deep?"

Xia De tried hard to look downward, that was the bottomless dark abyss, boundless terror surged into his heart with his gaze, but the indifference and emptiness in his heart made him completely ignore this abnormal emotion. He no longer cared about anything, didn't care where he would fall, there was only one thought in his empty heart—

"I only want now, to let you return to the deepest death!"

Not only did he not try to swim upward, but he pulled the water ghost to continue falling. The moonlight became more and more cold, and the water ghost's face melting under the silver light also looked more and more terrifying. Even the most terrifying corpse was not one-tenth as terrifying as his face at this moment.
