Chapter 2071: Failed Spellcasting

That strange black humanoid was not sensitive to sound at all. Instead, after being illuminated by the light ball summoned by Iluna, it jumped from the sofa to the floor, then its joints turned, its limbs stuck to the ground, and it crawled to the place behind the sofa that could not be illuminated like a big insect, which scared Xia De and the three of them.

"This is the source of the curse. What Old John described is this thing. Encountered a rare situation, this is not a dark creature formed naturally, it is a source of curse transformed by humans!"

Xia De said, protecting Emilia behind him. Iluna wanted to say something, but the light ball in her hand suddenly extinguished its light.

Darkness shrouded the three in an instant, and exceptionally strong whisper elements swept over, and at the same time, there was a feeling of space conversion.

And in that darkness, the faint silver light on Xia De's body guided the two girls to lean towards him. Iluna also pulled Xia De's sleeve, frowning and looking around:

"This malice is really strong... Look ahead."

A ray of white light appeared in the darkness. At this moment, the space was no longer the real world. Xia De didn't walk towards that side immediately, but first summoned the moonlight greatsword, and then looked at Emilia behind him:

"If we fight in a while, you have to be careful."

"Got it."

The elf girl hid behind Xia De, looking pitiful. This was not a disguise, she was really scared. And seeing her like this, Iluna subconsciously straightened her chest, but then realized that her emotions were wrong and immediately reflected on whether she was affected by this place.

The three approached the only light in the darkness together. After walking close, they found that it was a pure white middle-aged man's figure. He was originally silent, and only asked suddenly when the three came to him:

"Is everything I have done wrong?"

Iluna looked at Xia De, so Xia De asked back:

"What did you do?"

"Assisted the Gray Gloves in stealing Delarian's secrets in Tobesk."

"Why do you think this is wrong?"

"The Gray Gloves said that I did this for the peace between the two countries. But in last month's conflict, my only brother died in the Green Lake area. My parents died early, I brought him up with my own hands, and he was my only relative."

That pure white figure looked at Xia De:

"Two weeks ago, the Gray Gloves awarded me a commendation, thanking me for the intelligence I provided about the movements of the Delarian Royal Army around Green Lake during the Green Lake negotiations. Casenrik was able to dispatch the unit where my brother, who was serving in the Casenrik Army, was located to the border line in advance because of this intelligence."

"This..."

That pure white figure reached out as if wanting to grab Xia De's shoulder, but was dodged by Xia De. Iluna had no pity in her eyes, but was considering the whole thing, and Emilia hid behind Xia De, only revealing her eyes from Xia De's shoulder, looking at the pure white figure nervously.

Only Xia De was thinking about the other party's terrible story:

"So, you think your brother's death has something to do with you?"

"It also has something to do with this terrible dark world."

The pure white figure lowered his head, his face showing a sad expression:

"So I curse this world, I curse you living people!"

The light on his body became brighter and brighter, and the tragic white light slightly illuminated the surroundings, which also allowed the huge pitch-black monster lying behind him to gradually reveal its shape.

The pitch-black body seemed to be composed of flowing pus, and the all-black eyes had clearly been staring at the three of them from a close distance from the beginning, and could even be said to be on top of the three of them.

Without giving them time to react, the monster opened its big mouth and swallowed the three into its mouth. But then the figures of the three appeared ten meters away. Xia De, who tried to carry two people for space jumping for the first time, gasped and raised the longsword in his hand:

"Iluna, do it, solve this and I'll treat you to lunch."

Huge moonlight sword marks were slashed out by the silver greatsword. The gorgeous light arc in the darkness was brighter than any other time, but it was blocked by the huge monster lying on the ground with its alienated right hand. And Iluna, who jumped up, condensed a huge golden thunder spear with both hands in the air.

In Emilia's admiring eyes, the huge sunlight spear penetrated the monster's body and exploded. But the monster, whose body was mostly shattered and jumping with thunder on its surface, jumped up again, as if it wanted to swallow Iluna in the air.

The chain Xia De threw was faster than it. While the chain entangled its right leg, he exerted force with both hands and forcibly dragged the monster back to the ground.

The monster's volume was more than ten times that of Xia De, probably because it was not a pure flesh-and-blood creature, and the 【Chain of Seven Sins】 did not have a good effect on it. The chain prevented its regeneration, but the monster also grabbed the other end of the chain after landing, wanting to drag Xia De over.

Xia De, who stepped on the earth, was not afraid of competing with it for strength. His body exerted force slightly and leaned back, and the monster staggered forward and was dragged for a distance. Emilia hurriedly reached out to help, but her white hand felt like it was scalded as soon as it touched the chain and let go. At the same time, Iluna's second sunlight spear after landing had already been projected.

This time the sunlight spear flew parallel to the ground, and the golden thunder exploded in the dark space like an ancient god dispelling evil.

"Ang~"

The monster that was wrestling with Xia De raised its head and opened its mouth, forcibly swallowing the sunlight spear into its stomach. In its wailing, the light was transformed into darkness containing curses, and then accumulated into a ball similar to a "shadow ball" and condensed in its mouth.

It simply abandoned the chain in its hand and sprayed that dirty energy at Iluna.

"I'll do it!"

Xia De originally could take the opportunity to sneak attack, but he suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to try. Confirming that he could fully accept the lethality of that shadow ball, he gave up the chain and his body appeared in front of Iluna out of thin air and threw out moonlight:

"Look here!"

Confirming that the monster's mouth was aimed at him, he jumped into the air. Raising his hands with palms facing up, while twisting his palms, faint starry colors appeared above him. He tried to grasp the feeling that Miss Adele Isabella left in his soul, recalling the appearance of the Great Witch of Time when casting spells. This was the first attempt to officially use this strange technique:

"Principle of Reversibility..."

The black energy ball hit that piece of illusory starry sky. After the starry sky shattered like a mirror, it hit Xia De head-on and exploded on the spot. When Xia De, who seemed to be seriously injured, fell beside Iluna, and then groaned while trying to cough and climb up, the gentle and balanced Chosen One was completely furious:

"How dare you?"

Her eyes seemed to burn with golden light in an instant, and with the violent anger, there was also the hot flame that turned into substance and surrounded her.

The rising flames even made Emilia take a few steps back. The heat made her think of the physical feeling of walking on the streets of the academy city without any protection in midsummer.

But she took two steps back and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xia De, who had just stood up. Immediately after, while the life ring wrapped in hot flames was spinning rapidly, the dark golden balance floated above Iluna's head.

The balance tilted slightly, and the furious Iluna didn't even use her talent, but borrowed the surge of elements in her soul at this moment, jumped up and slashed a hot light mark in front of her.

The appearance of this blow was extremely similar to Xia De's "Moonlight Slash", and after melting the shadow monster's right hand with the surging flames, Iluna, who jumped into the air, flickered, and the flames seemed to turn her into the sun, but in the end, the whole person turned into a huge golden thunder, completely penetrating the pitch-black monster's body from top to bottom.

The huge black body fell. Emilia, who was a little scared, carefully supported Xia De, looking at Iluna floating in the air above the black body, wrapped in flames, with brown hair floating behind her in the golden light, and dark golden light in her eyes, reaching out to pinch the neck of the pure white shadow just now.

The shadow's legs were connected to the black monster, and the flames spread along Iluna's arm to the shadow's body. The screaming was incomparably terrifying in the silent pitch-black space. The girl's angry flames were enough to melt the hardest metal in the world, let alone the shadow of a soul.

Fortunately, before she really destroyed that soul, Xia De's hand was placed on her shoulder:

"Iluna, I'm fine."

Iluna, who was still slightly suspended, was startled, and then the abnormalities around her body disappeared. She turned her head to look in front of her hesitantly, then "Ya~" made a sound, threw away the shadow she was holding, and covered her flushed face with both hands, clearly shy to the extreme.

Xia De was a little worried. The blow that Iluna turned into a "sunlight spear" to penetrate the enemy just now looked like the move of the mature but cold Iluna in the memory of Mrs. Lemeier, the deep-sea merman.

"I don't know what happened just now, I just felt anger, and then... I lost my composure. Xia De, are you okay?"

The blushing Iluna asked hurriedly, not caring that Emilia had been supporting Xia De. Xia De shook his head:

"Pay attention to adjusting your mood changes, I'm fine, I thought I was a genius who could succeed in casting spells at once. Let me catch my breath and I will recover. Fortunately, my resistance to malice and curses is very strong, just can't stand the energy impact."

Coughing a few times and drinking a few sips of water, his face indeed returned to normal. Iluna carried holy water with her, and Emilia also had healing magic potions given by her family before going out. Although Xia De thought it was unnecessary to be so wasteful, he couldn't refuse their kindness. ===== CHAPTER 2072 =====
