Chapter 2336: Bridge in the Fog

~10 min read 1,928 words

Xia De held the sword and lunged, the long sword attached with moonlight accurately pierced into the undead's heart position. But Xia De immediately discovered that the spirit body's chest actually turned into a ball of light, letting the 【Time Flute】 pass directly through, and the moonlight did not cause any damage to her.

"Characteristic 2: The spirit body can partially turn into light to avoid light-type damage, it is unclear whether it can achieve the light effect of the entire spirit body. Of course, because this sword itself has no special effect on the undead, if it were another one, even if it turned its body into light to avoid the light, it wouldn't be unscathed."

While Miss Beiya was speaking, the slowed-down undead bride rotated and disappeared into the fog again.

All four ladies heard Xia De's voice:

"The spirit consumed by this sword when manipulating time is too much, right?"

"After all, it's manipulating time, and this is an Angel-level relic."

Miss Sylvia said, then looked at the deep fog on Xia De's left, which was located on the east side of this dilapidated Beiya manor.

The reappearing undead bride did not rotate to attack again. She overlapped the rabbit doll and the axe in the fog, and her hands made a strange posture.

"What is she going to do?"

The giggling~ laughter had stopped at this time. As the undead raised her left and right arms high, all the faint abnormal light attached to her gathered toward the two items in her hands.

Xia De could have attacked her immediately, but just like he didn't use moves like 【Chain of Sin】 just now, he wanted to see what other skills this kind of special undead had, so he waited for the other party to make a move.

The blood-stained axe and the tattered doll turned into a dazzling ball of light. After a creepy "ya~" scream, the undead bride slammed them at Xia De.

The violent light turned into a stream of light and rushed toward Xia De in the next second, then hit the shield that exploded around Xia De and scattered golden light, letting light chips splash into the thick fog.

Theoretically, as long as it is not broken at once, 【Heaton Seal】 can defend against almost all attacks before Xia De's spirit is exhausted. But this time, the golden light that came into contact with those abnormal lights was actually gradually being dyed silver-white.

Although the defensive effect of 【Heaton Seal】 did not change at all, this meant that this kind of energy attack could penetrate defensive spells like "Heaton Seal."

"Characteristic 3: Can mobilize abnormal light to achieve energy attacks. This should not be the undead's own talent; the talent of the soul is related to the experience before death, but her soul appearance doesn't look like she would release energy."

Miss Beiya continued to summarize, and Sister Diefulin's indifferent voice also appeared in the fog:

"Indeed, it is not the power of the soul itself."

And the Blue Dragon girl frowned slightly:

"Knight, end the battle. She is fighting for her life, and she probably won't have the strength to show more characteristics later."

"Understood."

Xia De said and then stepped back sharply, and then his body suddenly disappeared and appeared in the fog 20 meters behind. The dazzling white light immediately chased after him, but Xia De, who had freed his hands, kicked his feet off the ground, and with the phantom of the rotating galaxy appearing behind him, the 【Time Flute】 pointed forward amidst the chirping crisp flute sound.

"Principle of Regression! (Silent recitation)"

After the white light touched the sword tip, it seemed to be adsorbed on the sword, and as Xia De turned in the air, the white light that rotated for a week left a halo-like afterimage around him, and then it turned into a more violent energy light cannon, returning along the original path toward the "bride."

When Miss Isabella introduced the 【Principle of Regression】, she said that if this strange technique is used to return a continuously outputting light cannon, the consumption will be much greater than returning an energy attack that is thrown away, so it is better to find a way to dodge it.

But the "bride" faced this time was not strong, so as the white light column returned along the original path, the violent energy directly penetrated the abnormal spirit body, completely destroying the spirit body from her neck down to her waist.

After a scream of "Ah~", the remains of the soul dissipated in the fog during the fall, and only the tattered rabbit doll fell to the ground, surrounded by spirit dust and colorful glowing diamond-shaped crystals... that is, the materials left behind after the "bulb people" in the real world died; it seems that the two types of monsters exist similarities.

And the last sound she made was a sigh that could be understood:

"If only I could have seen my own heart clearly back then."

Miss Sylvia waved her hand, and the rabbit doll flew into her hand. She checked it carefully and threw it to Xia De to let him put it away for the time being:

"Handle it a little, and it will be a good alchemical weapon. Leave it to your little princess; you can't give her too many relics."

Xia De then turned this "toy" into a smaller toy and put it away.

Miss Beiya, who walked out of the fog with others, asked with some doubt:

"The move you used just now... how does it look a bit familiar?"

Xia De was testing whether the strange technique that appeared with a large difference from the genuine "Principle of Regression" used in his hands would still be recognized, so he was not surprised:

"Is that so? But before I turned into a giant dragon for the first time, didn't I use this move to return the sky thunder on the sea outside the pier?"

"At that time, I only noticed that you turned into a dragon... I didn't feel anything at the time, but now I feel more and more familiar."

The Great Witch of Fate frowned, and Xia De stood there without speaking. The Blue Dragon girl didn't know anything, so of course she wouldn't say anything, and Miss Sylvia didn't associate this with the Speaker of the Council, so she just waited hesitantly for Miss Beiya to recall.

Sister Diefulin suddenly spoke:

"Xia De once browsed the sect's collection of books, and he probably flipped through the chapter on mirror reflection in 'Multiverse Mirror: Time and Silver Mirror'."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Miss Beiya suddenly realized, and then smiled and praised Xia De:

"Your talent is really amazing; that move just now even had a point or two of the Speaker's charm."

Xia De didn't actually remember reading that book, but he nodded and admitted it.

Of course, it was only a long time later that he learned that before Miss Adele Isabella created the move "Principle of Regression," she had indeed flipped through "Multiverse Mirror: Time and Silver Mirror" hidden by the 【Spirit Cultivation Sect】.

Although the "Edge of Life and Death" is a reflection formed by the world of the living, the internal space is not regular. When Xia De was in Mid-Hill Fort, he knew that in this gray-white world filled with thick fog, perhaps taking one step forward could bring one from the edge of the city to the edge of the city center.

This abnormal spatial specificity, under the guidance of Sister Diefulin, the divination of Miss Beiya, and the spatial positioning of Miss Sylvia, instead became a convenient condition for the group to move forward.

Sister Diefulin sensed the restless core position of this "Edge of Life and Death," and the more they moved toward that direction in the thick fog, the more Xia De felt the badge on his chest vibrating slightly.

The five people acted quickly, and all the undead encountered along the way were turned into white ash and dissipated in the fog under Sister Diefulin's "gaze," and didn't even have a chance to leave "last words."

The silver eye mask reflected the light in the fog, and the silent nun's use of the power of death was becoming more and more pure.

After they set off, they tacitly did not speak to communicate again, and when they left the dilapidated Beiya manor for the 17th minute, a violent dragon roar in the depths of the fog finally dispelled the brief calm.

"Almost there."

Sister Diefulin said softly, and the Countess, who was most familiar with Moon Bay, pulled Xia De's sleeve and almost stuck to his body. After observing the surroundings cautiously, she identified the current location:

"This is already close to the lower city of the south city; the Taton River is right in front."

The bone dragon flew quickly from the fog above their heads, and the chaotic tide of spirits in the distance seemed to be a 13th-tier master using an extremely powerful strange technique. But all these traces were soon swallowed by the white fog symbolizing death.

As they continued to move forward, the destination ahead was very clear:

"The Moon Bay Bridge that hasn't been completed yet!"

The Countess said very firmly, pulling Xia De's sleeve tightly:

"How could it be in this place? When the construction location of the Moon Bay Bridge was selected, I made the final decision. I have used divination many times to confirm that there is absolutely nothing special about this place. Why did it become the core position of the anomaly when reflected to the Edge of Life and Death?"

"If it's not a coincidence, then I'm afraid it's a human cause."

Although the Moon Bay Bridge is currently nearing completion, in fact, this bridge, which is divided into upper and lower floors and can raise the lower floor when large ships pass, has not yet been closed.

But in this gray-white world, when Xia De and the ladies arrived at the entrance of the bridge and barely saw the full view of the bridge, they found that the "Moon Bay Bridge" here was actually in a completely completed state:

"So, what exactly is reflected by the Edge of Life and Death?"

To go to the upper floor of the Moon Bay Bridge, one needs to take stairs or an elevator, while the lower floor of the bridge is directly connected to the street and can be passed by walking or by carriage. When the group arrived at the entrance of the lower floor of the bridge, it was not empty.

And the people who had arrived here in advance, Xia De actually knew.

The "Wind King Sword" with cyan luster broke through the dense light bullets with one sword. John Flynn frowned and stood at the front, the elegant middle-aged man in the appearance of a church staff member in robes cast spells to restore his state, the young woman holding a staff used spells to weave shields to defend against dead angles, and the burly man holding a mace stood behind the other three, staring closely at the back of the crowd.

The burly man was the first to discover the group of people walking out of the thick fog, but after seeing Xia De, because Xia De's attire was the same as before, the man also recognized that it was an acquaintance, so he was not overly vigilant. ===== CHAPTER 2337 =====
