Chapter 1915: Blood-Colored Fruit

~10 min read 1,905 words

That crying was truly too miserable, even Yi Lu Na couldn't help but glance at him, thinking that she would welcome her eighteenth birthday in a few hours. Her parents had died because of the attack of 【Mercury Blood】, which was a long time ago, and she had never returned since she left her hometown at that time.

Thinking of her parents and relatives in the past now, she wouldn't have missed them too much, but after hearing the old man's crying, she couldn't help but feel her eyes redden:

"I'm going to be eighteen too."

She felt her hand being held by Xia De. Although she knew she couldn't relax yet, she still couldn't help but ask:

"Is growing up really that hard?"

"When you can no longer find anyone older than you to cry to, that is when life is the hardest."

Xia De said, and Yi Lu Na tried hard to control her tears, and looked with Xia De at the nineteen people of the Edwards family, except for the Diviner and the eldest son of the third generation.

Since the traitor of the Diviner Association settled in Green Lake Town two hundred years ago, the Edwards family, which had multiplied for six generations, finally reunited here. The complex family story and the different life experiences of each person finally led everyone to return here at this moment.

Their battle ended, but tonight's battle could only be considered to have just begun. After everyone stopped, the wreckage supported by the tree branches began to shake violently again.

The tree that was growing slowly suddenly shot up by at least twenty meters at this moment, and then, while everyone on the wreckage was worried that they would fall from high altitude in the next second, the growth of the giant tree stopped completely.

The night wind of late spring whistled past at high altitude, and the three moons that were becoming clearer and clearer, together with the starry sky, illuminated these 21 people at high altitude.

At this moment, the members of the Edwards family and the two people related to the Edwards Ascension Technique all felt a very strong power surging in their bodies.

Xia De and Yi Lu Na's feelings were not obvious, but including the strongest Megan and Audrey, the nineteen people of the five generations of the Edwards family all had that black spiral symbol symbolizing the "One Who Returns" appear on their foreheads at this moment.

"Attention, the ritual is about to begin!"

Megan reminded everyone loudly, raised her hand to catch the thing thrown by Xia De, and looked at her palm. It was actually her golden earring. The Witch was a little surprised, but still pressed the jewelry symbolizing the identity of the great Witch toward her forehead for the first time. After a short prayer, the golden holy emblem symbolizing the ancient god "Chaos Witch" replaced the strange black symbol and appeared on her forehead.

The blood-colored giant tree stopped growing, and the floor under everyone's feet was able to stabilize again. The Edwards suppressed the surging power in their bodies, and Xia De and Yi Lu Na fully opened their perception, and at the same time noticed that in this dense canopy under the moon, there was the sound of liquid flowing in all the branches.

The branches glowed, and the spirit, elements, blood, flesh, and soul that had been drawn from the island below for hundreds of years were all gathered toward the very top of the canopy through this giant tree at this moment.

The big hole that had been bombarded by Xia De and Yi Lu Na had disappeared at this moment. Looking up toward the very top, the closer to the top of the canopy, the stronger the blood-red demonic light became. It was not just the roots and trunks that were transmitting blood light; the blood color from the underground of the entire island and under the surrounding water had turned into streamers and converged toward the very top of the canopy.

At the edge of the island, the lady's boots stepped on the sand, and Miss Dan Ni Si Te shouted to the crowd behind her:

"The Edwards Ascension Technique is about to start, we must speed up!"

Miss Benice identified the sword marks left by Xia De on the sand, and after putting on her glasses and finding the powder marks sprinkled by Difa, the group of Witches broke into the woods quickly.

In the Green Lake Hotel, Duo Luo Qian stood by the window worriedly looking at the blood-colored giant tree in the distance, but Lu Lu Weiya sat by the table quite calmly. Lei Qianya watched her perform divination on the side, and as the purple-eyed Diviner turned over the "Red Butterfly" card, the light stream composed of blood-red butterflies entered the hotel from the window.

"It's okay, they are our own people."

Difa stopped the vigilant female sorcerers, and Grace and Helen, who appeared in those flying butterflies, had already walked toward Lu Lu Weiya who stood up.

They asked Lu Lu Weiya:

"Can you set out with us?"

"Lu Lu Weiya, where are you going?"

Lei Qianya asked in surprise, and Lu Lu Weiya explained softly:

"Next, Xia De might need my help, I want to go to that tree with them."

"I also..."

Before she finished speaking, she thought of her promise to Xia De. Duo Luo Qian also walked over at this time and pulled Lei Qianya's sleeve, and said to Lu Lu Weiya again:

"Now Xia De is not here, do you think it is necessary for us to go with you? As candidates."

Lu Lu Weiya shook her head:

"Everything listens to Xia De, don't let him be sad."

Grace, wearing a white dress, spoke suddenly:

"You stay here for now, if you are really needed..."

Helen opened her palm, and a red butterfly flew out:

"It will lead you to find us."

Blood mist drifted in the canopy under the moon. The moonlight made those blood mists even more strange and enchanting.

At the top of the canopy, because of the cover of the branches and leaves, the people on the wreckage and the people on the island could not see the blood light that had turned into substance, but it condensed into a blood-red fruit the size of a fist on the branch—

Boom~ Boom boom~ Boom boom boom~

The fruit was absorbing the endless blood light, and a heartbeat sound gradually appeared inside. Every time the heartbeat sound appeared, it became more urgent and louder, and Yi Lu Na and Xia De directly below the fruit were not affected by it, but Megan and others covered their chests.

Pfft~

Mr. Soren Green, who had just woken up from a coma, spat out a mouthful of blood, and the blood quickly turned into blood mist and drifted toward the top of the canopy. The ears and nose of Mrs. Helena Green, who was also an ordinary person, were also bleeding, and although other ring sorcerers and undead could resist, the bleeding points on their skin were still telling them what kind of thing would happen next.

The wind resonated with the shouting, and countless voices from all over the island praised loudly at this moment:

"The world ends, despair seeks salvation,

Salvation is hopeless, the One Who Returns seeks.

Willing to follow fate, transcend the cage,

The future of the world, a new birth descends."

Boom~ Boom boom~ Boom boom boom~

Even at a height of several hundred meters, everyone could clearly hear those praises. Looking up, something seemed to be swelling with those calls amidst the branches and blood mist, and soon, they finally clearly saw the huge blood-colored fruit hanging at the very top of the canopy, which was also directly above everyone.

The diameter of the fruit had exceeded five meters, the outer layer was transparent, and there was fruit flesh like flowing water inside. But more importantly, a vaguely visible humanoid object was wrapped in the blood-colored fruit flesh.

Although there was no evidence, everyone knew that the traitor of the Diviner Association who had been hidden for two hundred years, the once genius Diviner, Laplace Klein Howard, had finally appeared.

"Sunlight Gun!"

Yi Lu Na launched an attack toward the fruit for the first time, but the blood-colored fruit didn't even actively fight back, and the golden electric light disappeared into the spatial cracks that opened beside the fruit that continued to expand like a natural phenomenon.

"Once this thing is born, even if it is not a Chosen, it can be called an evil thing that surpasses the 13th ring!"

Megan reminded everyone here. Except for the supporters of the Diviner who were controlled and the Green siblings who were ordinary people, the ring sorcerers and undead who could still take action attacked the fruit together. But the attacks of Xia De and Yi Lu Na were swallowed or transferred by spatial cracks, and the attacks of others were directly absorbed by the fruit, transformed into the purest spirit and elements.

"The Edwards cannot cause any damage to him!"

Xia De subconsciously looked at Megan, but found that Megan also looked at him.

This meant that no matter how strong Megan and Audrey were, in the next battle, they would absolutely not be able to cause even a trace of damage to the Diviner.

"Yi Lu Na, must stop him from being born! Hold me tight, let's go up!"

He grabbed Yi Lu Na's hand, trying to use "Lagley's Jump" to approach the fruit that was expanding more and more one hundred meters above.

But the Diviner who had not yet been born didn't give him this chance. The angel-level relic 【Soul Storybook】, which had a brown hard cover, a snake-eating snake mark representing "Ancient God - Mr. Ring" on the front, and a bone sickle mark representing "Ancient God - Ancient Death God" on the back, flew out of the red fruit.

The book opened, and after a short pause, tens of thousands of terrifying undead rushed toward the bottom from the pages like a tide. This was the simplest attack, but also the most direct attack.

"Be careful!"

Xia De could barely deal with tens or hundreds of evil spirits, but such a dense army of undead blessed by angel-level relics, the normal-state Xia De couldn't resist no matter what.

The ring sorcerers only had time to support the barrier, and the evil spirits falling like raindrops submerged them all like a soul tide.

But fortunately, at the edge of the wreckage, three figures suddenly flew up from below. The Schneider Doctor, who was holding Priest Augustus in one hand and Durt Gilles in the other, had just appeared and faced those roaring terrifying souls:

"What?"

He was startled, but before he had time to complain about his bad luck, Priest Augustus waved his hand to open a pitch-black crack, and the opened seam leading to "True Death" sent the rushing evil spirits to where they should go.

"Gilles!"

"Lust!"

Durt Gilles, brought up by the Schneider Doctor, regardless of his soul being damaged, rushed toward the panicked little girl in the tide of evil spirits. The girl also used spatial transfer amidst the squeezing of many souls, directly making Durt Gilles appear before her. ===== CHAPTER 1916 =====
