Chapter 1772: The Change of the Thorn of Love

Her head was originally resting on Xia De's shoulder and tilted slightly upward, but at this moment, her squinting eyes suddenly opened. Having experienced countless battles and endured various dangers and challenges, she finally managed to control her body, not producing an instinctive reaction due to this astonishment, which would have let Xia De perceive that something was wrong.

But even so, the throbbing from Xia De's soul temperature mixed with astonishment and fear; this complex emotion was something she hadn't experienced since she woke up in the "present world."

In a trance, a gentle and cold laugh appeared in her ears. The long-haired girl finally couldn't control the tensing of her muscles this time, which made Xia De, who felt her unusual reaction, somewhat confused:

"What's wrong?"

Lu Lu Weiya took a deep breath. She knew who had laughed in her ear just now, and she also knew that this was a warning of some kind. But Lu Lu Weiya Fi O Qi An Na Te had experienced too many things; she didn't stop her movements because of this momentary surprise, continued to hug Xia De's neck, and then pressed his head.

She didn't answer Xia De's question: "Please hold me tightly."

She said softly, which was indeed her desire at this moment:

"Promise me, don't mention the tower and the moon when you are with me in the future, okay?

Xia De, who didn't understand, had to agree, but couldn't see the trace of triumph on the purple-eyed girl's face.

"The Academy is urging me to advance to the third ring as soon as possible. I also have to assist my father in handling the negotiation matters in To Bei Si Ke recently, which is not as relaxed as Jia Lin Na's."

The "Thorn of Love" affected her soul, which in turn affected this dream. The long-haired girl looked at him, and the purple eyes shedding tears were truly gazing at his soul:

In the left hand hanging to the side of the bed, a slender red moonlight short sword appeared silently. As the crystals spread, the moonlight sword transformed into a pink crystalline short thorn.

Regarding the future, regarding the destined apocalypse, this mad diviner had half-true and half-false news. How to distinguish truth from falsehood was something Xia De had to do, and how to get that information was something to be planned now.

Looking to the side, the purple-eyed girl was still sleeping in the dream, the rosy corners of her lips curled up, not knowing what she was dreaming about... Well, Xia De had just come out of her dream and knew what she was dreaming about.

If the attacker's soul strength was insufficient, they would explode into a pile of crystals in just a few seconds. Of course, this effect was difficult to apply to ring-warlocks above the middle ring; its greater use was to make opponents whose souls were strong enough, but not strong enough, grow pink crystals on the injured parts of their bodies. Only by timely removing the infected flesh could the spread of the crystals be stopped; otherwise, the whole person would turn into lifeless crystals.

This sounded like it just made the release of the "Thorn of Love" more convenient, without substantially changing the essence of the technique. After all, the original pink crystals could also be used for throwing.

The long-haired Lu Lu Weiya was the short-haired Lu Lu Weiya; there was no doubt about that. Therefore, every time Xia De contacted the long-haired Lu Lu Weiya, she actually didn't know, but the details in the dream were very blurry, and she would only think it was a dream after waking up.

Of course, whether to superimpose this strange and powerful destructive effect on these three techniques was also up to Xia De to decide.

"An attack that twists flesh and collapses the soul... The newly added characteristic is completely opposite to the original 'self-sacrifice to protect the lover' characteristic of the Thorn of Love. Can the long-haired Lu Lu Weiya, even with a severely injured soul and unable to use even a fraction of her power, grant me such power?"

The crystals turned into an ambiguous pink light and merged into the long-haired girl's body. Then, the whole world was dyed with a strange pink color. Crystal clusters appeared from the ground, rustling and spreading toward buildings, ruins, and the sky, and even the sand drifting in the air turned into pink flower petals like cherry blossoms.

"I may not be able to tell you all the truth, but she and I, our feelings for you are real."

He summarized in his heart, but then thought of another thing: the wind and sand passed over the roof, and under the dim sky and black sunset, the two souls in the apocalyptic memory were entangled with each other. She whispered many things in Xia De's ear—knowledge that existed in that time but Xia De had never learned, her love for him, the life she had experienced, the feelings she had always longed for but never obtained.

Because Xia De already had the "Dream" Xia De rune, Lei Qianya achieved the miracle "Bubble" at the second ring, and with all other Xia De runes complete, she was preparing for the advancement ceremony.

There was a very energetic sound from the closet. Time had reached 8:30, and a new day had begun.

The change caused by the long-haired Lu Lu Weiya to the technique was that the ordinary daggers, short knives, and all spiritual weapons released by Xia De himself, as well as a small portion of energy attacks similar to spikes, could be controlled and transformed into the "Thorn of Love."

"Xia De, I cannot tell you about the past, and I cannot give you help in reality. But now you have given me your power, and I will give it back to you."

"Yes, please believe me."

He gently squeezed his open left palm. Through the gap in the curtains, the faint morning light had already shone in. In the spring morning, the indoor temperature was quite comfortable. It was 8:20 AM, and in about ten minutes, the cat in the closet would likely be hitting the cabinet door repeatedly to remind the room's owners to get up.

Speaking of which, since Xia De met Lei Qianya, the Princess had always been at the second ring. Now even the second-ring Duo Luo Qian had already advanced to the third ring for several months, but Lei Qianya still hadn't advanced. She was the only ring-warlock among all of Xia De's acquaintances, besides the high-ring witch, who hadn't improved her level in this nearly one year.

Because Lu Lu Weiya knew that Xia De had contacted the believers of the God of Love, the long-haired Lu Lu Weiya also knew. In the dream, at this moment when they truly realized the contact of spirit, flesh, and desire, she asked Xia De to take out the "Thorn of Love" and, holding Xia De's hands face-to-face, at a certain special moment, let Xia De personally pierce the pink crystal thorn into her chest:

But in fact, because the characteristics of the "Thorn of Love" could overlap with the "Spirit Rune," "Moonlight Greatsword," and "Great Sin Chain," this caused the damage effects of the three techniques to all be superimposed with the effect of the pink crystal soul spell.

Xia De didn't know what height the former Lu Lu Weiya had reached. Above the demigod was the path to godhood that was impossible to achieve in the Third Era, but the apocalypse she was in was no longer the Third Era. If there was no divine power, Xia De found it hard to imagine what kind of power could destroy time and space.

"Please remember this power, please cherish everyone around you. Xia De, my lover, my knight, my hero. Please... forgive me for everything I have done, I will always be by your side."

When Xia De woke up from the dream on Friday morning, he was still savoring the long and passionate dream. By his side, it seemed that the touch of Lu Lu Weiya's arm still remained, and then he realized it wasn't an illusion, because his right hand was indeed holding Lu Lu Weiya's shoulder.

Flutter, flutter~

She hugged Xia De's neck, and her upper body kissed him upward:

However, Lei Qianya had recently gathered the most critical sublimation words Xia De runes for the second ring. Duo Luo Qian's low-ring and middle-ring sublimation words corresponded to the stories of "The Match Girl" and "Cinderella"—"In the dream of matches, the writer pities the frozen person," "In the castle of the night, only time can block the blessed princess." Lei Qianya's low-ring sublimation words corresponded to "Sleeping Princess"—"The sleeping princess gains peace in reality and dreams," and the middle ring corresponded to a fairy tale related to the ocean—"The broken bubble/dream also writes the despair of the soul."

"Xia De, lock up your cat."

The Princess seemed a bit haggard, but seeing Xia De early in the morning still made her quite happy:

This sublimation word required the Xia De runes 【Past Life】, 【Writing】, 【Soul】, 【Despair】, among which the Enlightenment—【Writer】 was Lei Qianya's core Xia De rune, and 【Bubble】 and 【Dream】 were one of two, having one was enough.

This meeting in the dream, although Lu Lu Weiya still couldn't reveal too much, her attitude toward Laplace Klein Howard already showed that the other party really had information Xia De wanted to know.

"But if Lu Lu Weiya once possessed divine power, how did she fail so many times? What does that apocalypse mean?"

The sleepy Lu Lu Weiya said, so Xia De kissed her forehead and carefully lifted the quilt. No matter what kind of story was waiting for him next, at least now, he should let out the cat that was flapping wildly in the closet.

She hugged Xia De's hands, and Xia De's hands held the "Thorn of Love," and just like that, it entered her chest bit by bit. In the reality state, the effect of this technique clearly felt like piercing into the water surface, but in the dream world, it was the feeling of completely piercing through flesh.

"Thorn of Love..."

"Three techniques, now there are the original attack form, the soul crystal infection attack form, and the special pink spell-granting form."

【Outsider, your technique—【Thorn of Love】 has changed.】

For example, "Moonlight Greatsword," "Great Sin Chain," or even "Spirit Rune," if Xia De threw a Spirit Rune at a girl, before the silver-white lightning pierced through her chest, Xia De could actually choose whether to grant the effect of the "Thorn of Love."

That is, if the three techniques turned on the "Thorn of Love," they could grant the girls the pink soul crystal spell; if the three techniques still maintained their original characteristics and were not converted into the "Thorn of Love" by Xia De, then once the enemy was injured by the Spirit Rune, Moonlight Greatsword, or Great Sin Chain—the former was a scratch, the pink crystals would infect the soul.

The purple eyes were shedding tears, looking at Xia De from below:

The most important thing this Friday was naturally the reunion of the Edward family in the evening. However, Xia De wasn't idle during the day. After breakfast and sending Lu Lu Weiya to the Divination Association, seeing that the Yodel Palace was across the street, he took the initiative to find Lei Qianya, whom he hadn't seen for most of the week. ===== CHAPTER 1773 =====
