Chapter 2103: Holding Hands

Raindrops and ice pellets hit the glass, and the thunder made people unable to help but feel terrified. There were no lights in the small tavern, and there would be no heating in this season. The voices of men and women were mixed in the background sound of this complicated night, very soft, very gentle, and Bella Lei Qianya also thought this was very warm.

"It's about time, let's set off towards the shore."

Looking outside, Xia De said, and the witch nodded, also putting away the cards on the table:

"I am also very curious about what will happen tonight. Even if the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 is confident, they shouldn't have such a head-on conflict with the church, right?"

"If they are really consistent with what I am looking for, then the price is worth it."

He said. This time the blonde witch did not ask Xia De what he was looking for, but grabbed his hand after the two left the tavern side by side.

In an instant, it was like cold water flowing over the skin, and then the clothes wet by the rain were quickly steamed dry. The rain no longer eroded the clothes, and the figures of the two seemed to melt into the dark night.

"Phantom Body Curse, originally a spell to avoid fire and toxic fog environments, is just right for avoiding rain... Although I am not as good at head-on combat as them, I have quite a few auxiliary abilities."

She was still smiling and saying to Xia De in the dark night, and that smile was very bright.

The atmosphere was just right, and the two were about to approach the coast side by side. On the other side of the street, two other figures braving the rain suddenly appeared. They were not ordinary people, also wearing cloaks and masks. The rain slid sideways from the top of their heads as if they had encountered a sloping slope. This was also a strange art to avoid rain.

"Not church people."

The blonde Countess said, and then blocked in front of Xia De one step ahead, holding an amethyst pendant in her hand:

"What are you doing here?"

Because of the "Phantom Body Curse," the two strangers did not notice them just now. After the witch spoke, they realized that there were two people standing here. Seeing the amethyst pendant glowing in the night rain, they recognized who was in front of them:

"Lady Amethyst!"

The witch's reputation among local Ringed Shushis was very loud.

"We heard rumors that the church and the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 were going to fight in the pier area, so we wanted to come and see the situation. After all, that prophecy of the dragon and the destruction of the city... Now most people are in the nearby blocks, the church's defense is very effective, we originally wanted to find a place with a better view..."

They stopped their voices, watching the lady holding the pendant disappear into the rain.

Just as they said, the church's defense was not only aimed at the coast, but the church was also guarding against problems in the urban area after the manpower was transferred to the pier. But even so, Xia De and Miss Lei Qianya did not encounter too many difficulties entering the pier from the city direction. The witch was right; she was indeed not good at combat, but in detecting traps, cracking rituals, finding roads, and sneaking and hiding, combined with divination, she did far better than Xia De.

Starting from the unoccupied tavern just now, Xia De only needed to follow the witch who was holding his hand and watch her move forward all the way. When encountering an intersection, flip a coin to decide the direction, and if the keen sixth sense felt something wrong, use a pendulum to divine whether there were traces of divine magic rituals nearby. If encountering a church Ringed Shushi team on the road... they did not encounter one; the witch predicted in advance which road to take to avoid unnecessary trouble.

If the pier area tonight was compared to a huge maze full of traps, then Bella Lei Qianya was almost equivalent to an all-around maze cracker, even more all-around than the 【Source of Chaos】 currently on her shoulder. Therefore, when they arrived at the alley entrance only one street away from the coast, except for the effort of walking, Xia De basically did nothing.

The witch led him into the alley, and after passing through the alley, one could see the coast and the pier. Xia De originally wanted to praise Miss Lei Qianya, but a roar from afar completely suppressed his voice.

"Roar!"

That sound was louder than the thunder that exploded in the sky the next second. Xia De even faintly heard the sound of glass shattering on the street not far away in the rain. Even without seeing the source of the roar, the sense of oppression that made people almost unable to breathe already explained what the roar belonged to. What was more obvious was that the long sword with dragon scale patterns on Xia De's back trembled with a "hum" in the roar.

In the night rain mixed with more snowflakes and ice pellets, several figures flew into the high sky to prepare to meet the enemy. Although the distance was very far, Xia De could be sure that this should not include that Thirteen-Ring Shushi. The torrential rain made everything around become blurred, but the flashes of light that erupted from the night sky were still clear.

The church had prepared for so long, of course, it did not let the battle break out above the pier, so what Xia De and Miss Lei Qianya saw at this time was just the aftermath.

Both of them quickened their pace. Even if there was no harvest tonight, confirming the result of this great battle would be good for subsequent actions.

It was just that the two did not pass through the alley safely in the end. The torrential rain night was as black as ink. Therefore, when a man in a black cloak walked towards the two in a hurry, even Xia De, who had a powerful perception, could not find him very early.

The stranger had a thin figure and fast footsteps. The black hood covered the upper half of his face, and he walked as if floating without any sound. Because he had encountered strangers just now, and knew that the people who came to watch the "excitement" tonight were definitely not just the two of them, Xia De was not surprised to meet people here.

He just looked at the witch beside him in doubt, curious if she had not expected that there were still people in this alley.

And after the stranger noticed them, he did not stop to change his route, but rushed over with faster footsteps. The blonde witch raised her hand to make a warning gesture, and then Xia De blocked in front of her one step ahead, his right hand already reaching for the two swords on his back.

Her heart warmed, and she saw the stranger who rushed over like sliding on the ground suddenly turn into a blood mist in the torrential rain. Accompanied by another roar that was extremely similar to a dragon roar and shocked the soul, the blood mist even turned the rain and snow falling in the air into poison. The surrounding ground and walls suddenly melted like paper in the poison, but Xia De, who was facing the monstrous blood mist, did not retreat half a step:

"You dare to block me at such a time?"

The Dragon Scale Sword was drawn out by the spell, and Xia De drew it out at just the right angle. The gorgeous blood moon brilliance slashed down with the sword marks, and the sweeping blood mist actually rolled back to its original place with that red blood sword mark.

The human figure in the black cloak in the blood mist vaguely wanted to reappear, and immediately after, the second golden sword mark had slashed down.

"Roar~"

On the surface of the human figure vaguely visible in the blood mist, scales appeared and carried this sword, and then the alienated claws grabbed the ice block thrown by Xia De in the blood mist:

"Passionate Ice!"

The ice block exploded, but the power was actually not as good as that sword. But while the evaporated mist and dust had not yet fallen, and even the moonlight of the sword marks remaining on the ground had not yet extinguished, three sword lights exactly the same as just now appeared at the same time.

The sound of the sword light causing a stir at the pier disturbed the Ringed Shushis on the shore, and in the alley, when the sword light disappeared, not only was the black cloak figure whose clothes were blown up and revealed scales and bat wings, but even Miss Lei Qianya, who was blocked behind Xia De, showed a slightly unbelievable look.

Crack~

Lei Sheng flashed, white light illuminated the small mark on the stranger's alienated claws:

"Black Moon Symbol!"

"How dare you catch my sword?"

Xia De's voice came in the wind. At the same time, the claws attached with the symbol turned into white ash and scattered in the rain, which in turn caused the stranger's entire arm to scatter into white ash. Just before the body disintegrated, the stranger's body exploded into a blood mist again, and then flew straight into the high sky.

The church's Ringed Shushis had already noticed this side, and Xia De and Miss Lei Qianya did not dare to stay long. The witch held Xia De's hand again, and while the illusion was released, she quickly selected a direction to lead him away, but Xia De was still puzzled:

"How is it possible? Once selected by the Black Moon Symbol, even if it abandons a part of its body, the conceptual annihilation will not cut it off... That thing just now actually has 'instant death' and 'annihilation' resistance?"

"What's on it is dragon scales, and what it shows is like a vampire species. Probably only God knows what that is."

The blonde witch, who was running in the rainy night holding Xia De's hand, said, and looked at Xia De's side face:

"Is what you used just now really... Black Moon Symbol?"

"Yes."

"Where on earth did Vanessa find you?"

"You've asked this question more than once."

They stopped together, left hand holding right hand, and stood against the wall holding their breath together, and only turned into another small alley after the three people who ran over in a hurry passed by:

"It's just that the more I know you, the more I feel that you are amazing. The strange art of conceptual annihilation like 【Black Moon Symbol】, the most complete ritual record now should be in the St. Byrons Library, although it does not rule out that you learned it from a path I don't know... Are you actually from St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy?"

She asked carefully, walking side by side with Xia De holding hands. Xia De thought that today was Sunday, so he turned his head and smiled and answered:

"Yes, that Red Moon Witch Danister gave me a separate lesson two days ago."

The witch just thought he was joking.

Regarding the strange thing that attacked the two just now, Xia De of course also had guesses about its identity. The "Vampire Beast" that had been attacking citizens in the city at night recently had not been caught by the church until now, and it was of course not very surprising that it had a strong escape ability.

It was just that Xia De had other urgent matters tonight, so the guy who escaped could find a way to arrest him later;

"Tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow is probably very suitable. Was that thing originally a monster mixed with dragon and vampire species?"

The battle between the two sides just now attracted the attention of the church Ringed Shushis, but thanks to the assistance of Miss Lei Qianya, they easily left the encirclement. By the time the two finally arrived at the pier in the thunderstorm, the time had reached eight o'clock that night.

The sea rolled up waves, constantly slapping the shore with the gale. The ships anchored in the port swayed left and right, as if they would rush onto the shore with the waves in the next second.

The divine magic ritual symbolizing the miracle element was resisting something Xia De had not seen clearly on the pier, and higher in the night sky, the three dragons spraying dragon breath were like black dots, entangled with dozens of Ringed Shushis. ===== CHAPTER 2104 =====
