Chapter 2057

【Back off.】

It looked like the winner had been decided, but hearing "She"'s voice, Xia De still abandoned the pursuit without hesitation and stepped back ten meters behind him.

The cracks on the trembling evil thing became more and more, but from those cracks, dense worms kept surging out, as if its body was supported by these worms.

Finally, as Professor Drake's body exploded and shattered completely, swarms of worms like a fountain exploded from its body in all directions. And the volume of those worms added together far exceeded the volume of Professor Drake's body.

"I knew it, every evil thing here has a second stage."

Xia De was forced to retreat again, and then watched the dense worms all enter the mud. Almost in the next second, accompanied by a rumbling sound coming from under his feet, the ground began to vibrate violently. The buildings standing around the square, which had been buried by yellow sand for the most part, began to drop bricks and stones. While maintaining his balance, Xia De scanned the surroundings quickly.

【Careful, there is a big guy underground.】

"She"'s voice had just fallen when Xia De saw a huge black shadow wandering out from deeper underground under the square ground. Even if that thing curled up, its volume was enough to cover the entire St. Deran Square.

Therefore, Xia De had no space to dodge at all. Amidst the loud noise, the earth-yellow giant worm with tentacles all over its body drilled out of the ground from directly below him. While lifting Xia De into the air with nowhere to hide, the huge deformed worm head that looked like Professor Drake's head after deformation opened its mouth, revealing tens of thousands of withered yellow human teeth inside its mouth while roaring.

It opened its mouth and was about to swallow Xia De in the air, but was stepped on the head by Xia De with one foot. The worm lowered its head because of the force while roaring, and Xia De also borrowed the force to jump up a distance again. Still bound by the earth and unable to turn into red butterflies, he took the opportunity to swing the moonlight from the long staff in his hand, but the moonlight could only leave shallow white marks on its shell.

The square bricks were being turned into yellow sand because of contact with the worm-Drake. The sky-filling sand dust at this moment almost turned into a sandstorm, sweeping the entire center of the square.

The worm that raised its head again stood up its worm body, opened its mouth again, swallowed a Thunder Spear head-on, and topped the moonlight wheel while constantly rubbing against the shell, causing harsh friction sounds. Amidst the sizzling sparks, it finally opened its mouth and swallowed the falling Xia De into its belly.

Miss Isabella, who was squinting her eyes and looking at the center of the sandstorm at the edge of the square, immediately frowned and wanted to take action to rescue, but took a step and then retreated.

At this moment, inside the worm body of the giant worm entrenched in the center of the square, a silver moonlight ring belt that was not very bright appeared. As the ring belt became brighter and brighter inside the body, the worm began to roll on the ground, bringing another wave of earthquakes, and even made harsh calls that shattered bricks and stones that had not yet turned into sand dust.

Finally, as the viscous earth-yellow body fluid exploded in the worm body, the "Moonlight Wheel · Second Form" that kept expanding from inside the worm body forcibly cut the worm body into two sections.

The vibration of the worm body landing almost collapsed all the buildings around St. Deran Square except for number six. And when the vibration ended and the sand dust was still filling the sky, Xia De, who was coughing constantly, finally crawled out of the worm's "belly":

"Cough, cough, cough, cough."

The clothes on his upper body were completely corroded, but the trousers on his lower body miraculously remained intact. His naked body was covered with tooth marks and traces of blood from scraping. The corrosive body fluid of the worm made those wounds unable to heal immediately. I'm afraid Xia De still needs to soak in water and rely on "Food of Satiety" and "Blessing of the Drowned" to recover. But there was no water here, so he could only wait to recover automatically after leaving this space-time.

He even walked with a limp. Fortunately, he could use the 【Staff of Yggdrasil】 as a crutch.

But that giant worm did not die. The vitality of this kind of evil thing was exceptionally tenacious. Xia De wanted to find the worm's head and give it another fatal blow, but was stopped by Miss Isabella who flew over—the worm body was lying on the square and really couldn't be walked over:

"Don't solve it first. You have already won, let it recover itself, I will demonstrate sorcery for you."

The blonde witch said, and Xia De nodded, took out the perfume bottle and took a sip, wanting to return to the edge of the square to rest with a limp. Seeing him in this state, Miss Isabella felt it was really pitiful, pressed her hand on his shoulder wanting to treat him, but discovered that her healing sorcery had no effect on Xia De at all:

"I can't treat you?"

Xia De also didn't know why this was. The witches of the Fifth Era could treat him. Seeing Miss Isabella looking at her own hands in a daze, Xia De guessed casually:

"Probably the Tree Father wants me to confront the enemy myself. It doesn't matter, I can heal myself after going back."

The blonde witch pursed her lips, probably thinking that she should be non-existent after all.

"Leave it to me next."

She said this, and looked at the perfume bottle Xia De took another sip of. Her nose sniffed slightly, and a blush climbed onto her face instantly. Subconsciously touching her face, the emotion that hadn't appeared for a long time made her feel that for a moment, she seemed to have come alive again from a fossil-like state in this doomsday time.

"Things given to me by the Unknown-level relic 【Desire】, converting desire into perfume, perfume can restore spirit."

Seeing her curious, Xia De explained a sentence, and at the same time guessed whether that "mermaid" was still alive in the doomsday era. Miss Isabella nodded and did not oppose Xia De's association with such evil things:

"For you who are facing doomsday, any power is just power... Can you let me taste it?"

"Hmm?"

Xia De looked at her very unexpectedly, and then wiped the bottle mouth with his hand before handing it to her.

The blonde lady with a tear mole at the corner of her eye didn't care that Xia De had just drunk it, lifted the bottle and took a small sip, then covered her forehead with her left hand like she was drunk:

"This feeling, this vivid feeling that I am still alive... It's really been a long time."

Xia De looked at her with pity.

The worm's body was wriggling, and the body cut in half by the "Moonlight Ring · Second Form" was repairing and reconnecting. After Miss Isabella returned the perfume bottle to Xia De, she supported him, and finally actually picked him up, taking him flying toward the edge of the square.

Seeing Xia De looking like he didn't know where to put his hands, the blonde lady with a blush remaining on her face also smiled and asked:

"The witches you know haven't carried you flying?"

"Carried, but rarely held me like this."

She pursed her lips and smiled gently, feeling that the man chosen by Luweiya Annette was really interesting.

After they returned to the edge of the square, she carefully let Xia De sit against the outer wall of number six to rest temporarily. She stood to the side and watched the worm regenerate with Xia De:

"Actually, you used the wrong method to defeat this thing. Filthy Earth Worm—this is the name I gave to this kind of monster in the doomsday era. They are divided into two stages. The first stage is humanoid, and after being defeated, it is worm-shaped. The best way to deal with it is to induce the humanoid or worm-shaped evil thing to leave the ground. Once they are far away from the earth, that is when they are at their weakest. Even if it's just for a second, it can let you find an opportunity to kill with one blow."

"Humanoid is fine, such a big worm, I can't let it leave the earth."

Xia De found the remnants of his upper garment from his trouser belt. Using this opportunity to cast spells without life span for the month, he took a deep breath and reversed time, restoring the upper garment and the toys in his clothes. Otherwise, this time it would really be a heavy loss.

The witch also saw his means of reversing time. While feeling more and more satisfied with him in her heart, she continued to introduce:

"If it cannot leave the earth, water is also the nemesis of these worms. They can generally be divided into three categories: rock worms, gravel worms, and mud worms. This time it is the gravel type."

She hesitated for a moment and said again:

"But your approach is not wrong either. You have an earth affinity not inferior to it. Otherwise, after being swallowed, you would have been converted into stone and digested immediately. Gravel worms feed on sand and can also convert any solid into gravel. When the doomsday just started, it was them... Oh."

She groaned while covering her forehead. She could not mention the story of her own time-space.

"Don't talk about this, what I want to do is to stop this scene from reappearing."

Xia De put on his clothes, panting to restore his physical strength, and confirmed that the witch's state was still okay before continuing:

"Battle of Randall Valley, I swallowed the Source of the Filthy Earth to have this power. Last time I told you about my side, it just happened to be here, and I couldn't hold on and left."

Miss Isabella's complexion was dazed for a moment:

"In your Sixth Era, it actually turned out like this... I remember you mentioned that Siris Lathers didn't sacrifice... Was it Luweiya Annette who let you do this? What plan of hers is this again?"

"No, Luweiya didn't say anything. It was my own choice. I am very sure this is definitely not her plan."

Leaning against his own outer wall, Xia De coughed a few times. His current condition is not very good:

"I just don't like those sad stories. If I can help and save the people I meet, although it is impossible for me to dedicate all of myself, as long as I can do something, I probably will do it... Those filthy and twisted Sources of the Earth gave me the ability to draw power as long as I stand on the earth. But this is not without cost. In order to digest those filthy and twisted powers, I lay on the bed in a daze for a full half month. My cat even thought I was about to die."

When he said these words, his left leg was bent on the ground, his right leg was upright, and his right arm was on his knee. His eyes looked at the ground, so he didn't notice the movement of the tall witch standing to the side.

Suddenly feeling dark before his eyes, Xia De looked up and saw her kneeling on one knee in front of him at some point. Beautiful golden eyes looked at him with a kind of gaze that could be called "pity," and then reached out and placed it on his forehead:

"Xia De, you really worked hard."

The golden eyes made Xia De shudder:

"This kind of conversation is too strange. Please don't say that, this doesn't count as hard work. I am willing to do this, moreover Siris..."

His eyes drifted for a moment:

"And I have mutual affection, of course I won't sacrifice her."
