Chapter 2217: Sword and Tower

Golden lightning illuminated the dim sky at this moment. The moment Emilia raised the sword, lightning struck the high tower, followed by the sound coming from higher in the sky, as if it had existed since the beginning of the world—

"Roar~"

Just with the arrival of this sound, all the street-facing glass in the core city area of Moon Bay, with the Belindell Big Ben as the center, shattered together.

Screams of citizens came from all over the city, and above the clock tower, the white light piercing the clouds shone toward the clock tower top where the golden lightning struck. The ancient dragon roar resounded in Moon Bay City again in the rain this Sunday morning.

Most people couldn't figure out what was happening. They could only see a ray of light that seemed to contain all colors lighting up at the top of the Belindell Big Ben tower. Although that ray of light was not as dazzling as the moonlight just now, no one could ignore the thickness of that color, and the powerful strength that seemed enough to clear away any darkness that appeared with the lightning and dragon roar.

That ray of light was in Emilia's hand at this moment. Specifically, the pointed-eared elf girl was looking at the pure white light sword in her hand in shock. When she raised the sword just now and was struck by lightning, she thought she was going to be unlucky again, and she was regretting holding the metal high in the thundering weather, but the next moment the texture of the silver sword disappeared, and she felt as if she were holding a ball of light.

The power of that ball of light also surged into her body. The wounds on her body healed slowly, and the damage to her spirit and soul brought by the demon's malice also dissipated without a trace.

Not only that, unprecedented powerful strength surged into her body at this moment. As the Fate Ring behind her appeared automatically, not only was the miracle - 【Hero】 spirit rune automatically inscribed, but the light of the light sword in her hand even dyed her entire Fate Ring pure white.

That ray of pure white connected the clock tower and the high sky. After the light calmed down slightly, all the power was collected into the white light sword itself. Emilia felt that she was almost about to turn into light at this moment.

The ancient bloodline power was awakening because of this. The newborn elf hero did not know what this meant to her at this moment.

"There is such a thing?"

The crow man standing in the air muttered to himself. This was also the first time he showed emotion in his tone:

"I intervened too much, is fate fighting back..."

"There is such a thing?"

Xia De, who used "Calamity Card - Undead Ghost" to realize the perfect fake death plan, sat up in shock:

"Emilia pulled out the Sword of Light? Am I dreaming?"

"She" smiled gently:

【Outsider, you guided a hero, you have some realization about "Guidance".】

"There is such a thing?"

Using the spatial characteristics of the "Labyrinth Demon", Doctor Shi Nai De, who was hiding in a hidden space, was affected by the aftermath of the power when the "Sword of Light" took shape, and was forced to reveal his figure. The black cube unfolded, and he fell from the air onto the viewing platform in a sorry state:

"I'm not a bad person, why was I also judged as an enemy?"

The Great Witch of Fate staring at the tower top, Iluna who felt the unusual power at the bottom of the tower, and Dorothy who was looking at the tower from the carriage window, all showed surprised expressions:

"There is such a thing?"

Only the "Mermaid" in the water continued to watch the clock tower in the rain with a smile, knowing that Xia De would always bring her surprises.

And Emilia, holding the light sword, did not pay attention to others, but turned to look at Xia De who sat up in shock:

"You didn't die?"

"We'll talk about this later, let's go together, absolutely don't let it leave!"

Xia De wiped the rain off his face and jumped up, pouncing on the crow man in the air who was stiff and couldn't leave for the first time because of the appearance of that sword.

The latter flicked it away casually, and Xia De fell from the sky like a cannonball again. But immediately after, a huge light blade was slashed down by Emilia. She really just slashed it casually, so the spatial locking ability of the "Sword of Light" itself made the demon have nowhere to hide. It could only stretch out its hand to pinch and stop time, just wanting to turn around and turn into a crow swarm to leave here, but was cut off its entire right arm by the rotating light wheel.

"What, you can act in stopped time?"

The demon of misfortune - Fanalus turned to look at Xia De. The raindrops stopped in the air because of the time stop were hit by Xia De and flew in different directions. The silent world only had them staring at each other.

"This question is really silly."

Xia De threw another light wheel, but it was casually shattered by the crow man. Then the demon's body shifted, avoiding the direction of the Sword of Light's slash and letting time return to normal.

Amidst the sound of rain, the stopped raindrops continued to fall. The light sword slashed by Emilia brushed past the demon, but the next moment, a huge black palm flowing with mucus grabbed the demon wearing a black suit, and forcibly pressed it from the air onto the ground of the viewing platform.

"Caught you—oh!"

The doctor originally wanted to get closer, but immediately retreated quickly as if he were burned by fire. Even the black giant hand scattered into black mucus and fell into the rain. The longsword in Emilia's hand was still repelling his power.

So the sorry crow man also took the opportunity to get up. It didn't care about the three people surrounding it at all, but its body rotated and turned into a pitch-black crow and flew into the high sky. Behind it, the chain flying out of Xia De's sleeve also flew into the high sky following it.

"Too late, just a little bit!"

The doctor said annoyedly, his left hand clutched the glass bead and was about to fire, but Xia De summoned with his left hand, and 【Staff of Yggdrasil】 flew into his hand, while his right hand tightly grasped Miss Isabella's pocket watch:

"It's not too late! Time Stop!"

The long staff hit the ground. The time around it certainly did not stop, but with the consumption of spirit that almost made Xia De collapse, the crow flying in the air seemed to be frozen and stopped in the rain.

The time it was stopped was not even a second, but this was enough for the 【Chain of Seven Deadly Sins】 flying behind it to tie one of its feet. 【Gluttony】, 【Greed】, 【Sloth】, 【Wrath】, 【Apathy】, 【Pride】, 【Prejudice】, the chain connected by seven spirit runes emitting dark black light connected the clock tower and the high sky. "Desire" was right, at least seven runes were enough.

When the time on the crow returned to flow, it, not knowing what had happened, immediately fell from the high sky.

The gasping Emilia then slashed another sword without thinking. The pitch-black crow at one end of the chain collided with the light sword in the air and exploded into a huge blood mist. Emilia herself finally bent down because she was exhausted.

"Don't relax, that sword didn't hit the vital point, it's impossible for it to die so easily!"

The most knowledgeable Doctor Shi Nai De reminded loudly. Xia De, who also felt that there was still something at the end of the 【Chain of Seven Deadly Sins】, naturally would not relax. But the consumption of "Adele's Time Stop" just now was really too great, and the ever-changing battle situation did not allow him to replenish his consumption immediately.

He could only pull the chain and recycle it toward his direction, and his left hand also tightly grasped the red glass bead, waiting for the best firing opportunity. The doctor said that the two of them only had one chance.

The blood mist exploded by the black crow was really too big, so when the crow man re-emerged from the blood mist and stretched out his hand toward Xia De, Xia De realized afterward that the other party had turned from a crow into a human again.

"It's now!"

This time there was no hesitation. The red glass bead was flicked by Xia De's finger and pierced through the palm that was grabbing toward him. In the next second, amidst the harsh crow calls, blood-colored flames erupted from every pore of the crow man's body. It screamed and shook its body, then actually spread its arms and hugged toward Xia De again.

The heavily injured demon knew that it must get rid of that chain to escape. In the extreme pain of its entire existence melting, it tried to use those flames to burn Xia De to death.

But Xia De, who possessed the "Primordial Fire", was not afraid of this. He didn't dodge at all, but instead stretched out his hands and hugged the demon. The two entangled and stumbled to the edge of the viewing platform of the clock tower, and the two chains of seven deadly sins also took this opportunity to tightly entwine them from the feet up. The burning flames that were the color of blood really did not have any effect on Xia De:

"Doctor, hurry! I've locked it!"

"No, it's me who locked you!"

Before Doctor Shi Nai De could arrive, the demon surrounded by flames pulled Xia De and tilted their bodies together, falling toward the bottom of the tower.

At this moment, a very familiar feeling surged into Xia De's heart, but in the next second, the two were wrapped in flames like meteors, streaking across the sky of Moon Bay City in the rain, tilting and flying toward the direction of the harbor.

"The detective succeeded! It can't escape! It's dead this time!"

The excited doctor quickly arrived at the edge of the viewing platform, jumped down, and turned into a black light, following the fireball in front and flying toward the harbor direction.

Emilia, who was panting heavily with a huge light sword, stood on the terrace in the rain and blinked, not understanding why everyone had left. Suddenly, she heard a familiar cry. The little unicorn walked over from behind and rubbed against her, signaling her to get on quickly and then chase after them together.

Emilia cried out in surprise, reaching out to stroke her best companion. Even though the fur was wet, the touch of the little unicorn was still very good:

"Little Liana, that's great, you are also fine... Wait, you weren't pretending just now, were you?"

She climbed onto the little unicorn's back with difficulty, and the light on the sword surrounded them, making it impossible for others to see their detailed appearance.

So soon, Emilia was carrying that huge white light sword, riding the little unicorn and flying from the top of the Belindell Big Ben toward the southern coastline.

And the church sorcerers on the ground who were blocked by the 【Corpse in the Wall】 and could not reach the top, let alone fly up, although they could not see clearly what the initial fireball and the subsequent black light were, they still saw the scene of the humanoid creature holding a light sword and riding a creature resembling a unicorn flying away in the rain very clearly.
