Chapter 2058

Hearing Xia De's words, Miss Isabella, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, revealed an increasingly gentle smile:

"You don't understand now what the things you have done mean to them—no, to them. Please allow me to thank you on behalf of the girls in the Council. Although I still feel that everything is in Luweiya Annette's plan, but, but at least she chose you, which should be one of the few things she did right. After getting along with someone like you for a long time, even if it is her, she will probably find back some of her conscience."

It is really hard to imagine what Luweiya had done in the past to leave her with such psychological trauma.

Sounds came from behind her, and the blonde lady stood up immediately, turned around and glanced at the giant worm whose head was in the appearance of a human head and had basically recovered on the square:

"Compared to time, you seem to be more skilled in using the power of moonlight. This train of thought is not bad. The sorcery of the huge light wheel just now, even I have never seen it. Although I don't often use energy-output-type attacks, do you want to hear my suggestions for your moonlight sorcery?"

"Of course."

Xia De nodded immediately. His "Moonlight Slash" developed three forms, and only then finally derived the "Moonlight Wheel." And now the Moonlight Wheel only developed the second form. He himself also thought that this sorcery belonging exclusively to him still had room for expansion.

Miss Isabella then reached out and pulled Xia De up. Seeing him frown because of the wounds on his body when he stood up, she revealed a look of pity again:

"Magnifying the light wheel of the basic form is indeed a good way to deal with giant-sized enemies like giants and dragons, but this will also lead to increased consumption, and it is not convenient to use in scenes like cities. And although the basic form light wheel you threw just now has low consumption, it had almost no effect on the shell of that worm. Therefore, the next train of thought is how to enhance its destructive power while keeping the size of the light wheel unchanged."

Xia De nodded:

"This is also the train of thought for my development of the sorcery 'Moonlight Slash'. By slightly changing the spellcasting method, the power of the sorcery changes at the cost of consumption and spellcasting speed, but how does this need to be done?"

"Your light wheel is now single-handed charging. Have you considered charging with both hands at the same time?"

Miss Isabella asked. Seeing Xia De frown and ponder, she shook her head with a smile again:

"Think about it slowly after going back, Xia De. The help I can give you is only when you come here to see me every month. Although we crossed time and doomsday, I will wait for your arrival again until you no longer need my help."

Without waiting for Xia De to say anything, she took a step forward and got closer to Xia De. Seeing Xia De looking embarrassed, those golden eyes bent and revealed a smile again:

"Experience my next sorcery - Adele's Principle of Return well. If you can master it, you can avoid most troubles in the future."

So, she pressed her forehead against Xia De's forehead. After the warm and trembling feeling surged into the hearts of both people at that moment, Miss Isabella's "other me" and Xia De's "She" allowed the mutual touch of the two souls at the same time.

The power of time resonated between the two. The "Witch Echo" thus supplemented the part about "Adele's Principle of Return," and all the ritual information flooded into Xia De's mind. And Miss Isabella, in this resonance again, finally caught a glimpse of a corner of Xia De's soul.

The translucent fine hair on the white skin under the skirt stood up. That golden radiance deep in the soul made her lose her mind while leaning against Xia De's forehead. It wasn't until the roar of the worm behind her sounded that she realized the current situation.

Pretending to be fine, she moved her forehead away, but didn't know that she and Xia De in front of her were both blushing at this moment:

"Look closely."

As she said this, she turned around and came into the air with a leap. And that giant worm had already fully recovered at this moment. Half of its body was still hidden under the square that had turned into a huge sand pile, and half of its body was entrenched on the sand pile, with only the front end occupying a very small part of the body standing up.

The giant worm mouth with thousands of human teeth opened. The sandstorm shrouded the inside of the square again in that roar. Seemingly endless fine sand condensed in its mouth, but its essence was a huge amount of spirit and extremely chaotic elements, compressed into a spherical body in its mouth.

The height of Miss Isabella, who was ascending, was almost the same as the giant worm's mouth. She didn't try to dodge, but raised her hands high. As the two palms twisted slightly, the rotating deep starry sea appeared above her, as if she were holding up that starry sky.

Xia De at the edge of the square widened his eyes and watched this scene, watching the head supported by the giant worm body covered with fluff and tentacles in the center of the sandstorm, spitting that huge earth-yellow energy sphere toward Miss Isabella.

"Adele's Principle of Return!"

As the starry sea rotated above the witch's raised hands, that earth-yellow sphere carrying violent energy collided with the starry sea, and then under the action of time power, it smoothly returned to its "master," penetrated the sandstorm, and pierced straight through the worm's human head.

The damage this time was far stronger than Xia De's strike just now. The huge worm body immediately collapsed into sky-filling yellow sand, leaving only Professor Drake's hunched body falling from high altitude;

"Xia De, it's now!"

"Thunder Spear!"

Holding the 【Staff of Yggdrasil】 to charge and throw it out, the silver-white thunder attached to the long staff accurately pierced the humanoid evil thing in the air, and the huge kinetic energy drove it to fly toward the other end of the square. After the collision caused a concave spherical pit to appear on the wall of the building ruins, the professor's body was completely nailed to the wall.

Miss Isabella, who landed, flew over with Xia De. Silver-white electric light was constantly jumping on that body scattering sand dust at this time. That body was rapidly sanding, and the professor's turbid eyes opened, actually as if he had regained his reason at the last moment.

He raised his right hand, which was jumping with silver-white electric light while constantly collapsing sand dust downward, as if to grab something invisible in the air:

"So, this is, truth."

His eyes closed, his arm scattered into sand dust and was quickly blown away by the wind. Xia De and Miss Isabella watched it disappear completely. Finally, only the long staff nailed to the tilted wall remained, and the playing card that drifted toward Xia De with the wind.

He put away the playing card, but didn't immediately check the card face to prevent leaving directly. He reached out wanting to pull out the long staff nailed there, but after gripping it tightly and using force, he felt the wounds all over his body were in pain.

"I'll do it, don't move."

The witch to the side hurriedly stopped him from continuing to use force, and pulled it out herself while holding the long staff. When returning it to Xia De, she thought that this was the first time she had directly touched this weapon for so long. In the past, when it was in Luweiya Annette's hands, there would never be a second person who could touch it.

After ending the battle, they didn't stay long in the wind and sand. After returning to number six at the other end of the square, which seemed completely unaffected by the battle, when Miss Isabella supported Xia De who was leaning on the long staff to go up the stairs, she asked again:

"Did you understand the sorcery just now? Adele's Principle of Return, theoretically speaking, can return any energy-type attack. There are two shortcomings: first, it requires a few seconds of spellcasting charging. Of course, it's no problem if you are prepared, but if you are facing an attack in a panic, you might not have time to launch the sorcery; second, it can only return energy attacks that have left the hand. If it is a continuous output light cannon, although it can also be returned, the consumption will be very large, not as good as finding a way to dodge it."

She supported Xia De to turn the corner of the stairs. Xia De tried hard to remember these contents. This sorcery was indeed as Miss Isabella said. Once learned, it could avoid most battle troubles in the future:

"Why not call it Dou Zhuan Xing Yi... I mean, is jumping up into the air a necessary condition for spellcasting?"

"Yes."

Miss Isabella looked at him quite unexpectedly:

"I didn't expect you to be able to see it. On one hand, the train of thought for this sorcery comes from the shifting of stars, so it needs to touch the sky; on the other hand, this is after all sorcery based on the principle of reversing time. Because it requires extremely precise control of energy flow to return, the fewer entities one touches, the better. Clothes don't matter, but the earth will affect the precision of spellcasting. Therefore, jumping up and casting spells in the air is the best choice."

Now the ritual content of "Adele's Principle of Return" was already in Xia De's mind. Such high-end sorcery, but the learning method was unexpectedly not complicated. The ritual requires holding it at night, and the base array needs to contain the holy emblems of both the "Chaos Witch" and the "Father of the Infinite Tree" at the same time. Although ritual materials are diverse, Xia De had heard of all of them. Even the "fruit core of a thousand-year pine tree" and the "stone heart of a star-boundary meteorite," which are the hardest to find, can be bought at a high price at St. Byrons.

"This sorcery is really powerful, Miss Isabella, you are really a genius."

He praised sincerely, and the witch shook her head:

"Don't say that, actually Luweiya Annette is the real genius."

Because he was seriously injured after being swallowed into the worm's belly, Xia De's state did not allow him to stay here for too long, but the matter of Miss Bella Belindell still had to be solved. Miss Isabella naturally did not forget this matter. After supporting Xia De to sit on the sofa, she took the initiative to turn to this topic:

"Although darkness and light are each other's nemesis, the light you mentioned should be some kind of extremely special light. Once infected, unless the Chosen One of Darkness takes action, ordinary darkness will definitely not be able to dispel it thoroughly."

The Chosen One of Darkness, Ivan Darkness, died last year.

"But besides darkness, one must also consider light. After all, light will not affect light itself. That strange light can assimilate all things, but only light will not melt in light."
