Chapter 2353: New Mystery Lock and the Knight Drawing the Sword

"I don't know what power the persistence of mortals will have, but I also want to be like them, at least to try... can you give me some spirit?"

The saint laughed:

"Of course."

The last wisp of white fog that had not yet dissipated surged into Xia De's body, and the spirit, which was so abundant that it was almost about to explode, finally made the fate ring behind him accelerate to the limit.

In the wind of the desert, in the silent moonlight, and in the crackling sound of the campfire in the camp, a piece of parchment floated out of Xia De's pocket.

Every letter of the story of "The Little Mermaid" written by the Chosen One of Space - Dorothea Louise and Leixia Cavendish with their own hands was glowing, and the glowing letters peeled off one by one and invested into the fate ring that was shining almost like the sun behind Xia De.

The rotation of the fate ring set off a violent wind, but Miss Knight, who was squinting, still saw brand-new runes engraved on that ring.

【Born of desire because of longing, possessing persistence because of desire. The souls of mortals are so interesting; those who would rather sacrifice than give up possess the most precious golden souls. When the story of the mermaid princess comes to the end, she and you, looking at the rising sun, both have characters like stubborn stones.】

【You listened to the fairy tale you told, and you gained the enlightenment of civilization.】

The brass-colored spiritual light transformed from the three illusion items and the glowing ink peeled off from the parchment gradually condensed into one place on the fate ring that was spinning at high speed. Although they were in the sand sea, the sound of seagulls, the whistle of cruise ships, and the splashing sound of waves appeared at this moment. In these sounds, the brand-new spirit rune manifested the brand-new power Xia De possessed.

【Outsider, you have engraved the brass enlightenment spirit rune - Mermaid Princess.】

Xia De took a step toward the giant worm corpse under the moon. As his soles touched the sand surface, the giant ship hull that floated up from under the sand surface directly lifted everyone present and that small camp.

The clearer sound of waves was so abrupt in the desert, but when looking around again, the surroundings were clearly the ocean at night.

The night in the ocean seemed to have come to an end, and the first ray of sunlight behind the red clouds that appeared rapidly in the sky shone toward the mouth of the worm corpse in the direction of Xia De's finger.

Miss Sander's stone statue, which was facing away from the group, was then illuminated by this rising sun. And as the stone statue itself floated with dense colorful bubbles, the stone statue, like time reversal, began to lift its petrification from the soles of its feet upward bit by bit.

The spirit like an explosion in his body was consuming rapidly, and "She" by his ear reminded him gently:

【Outsider, you have gained the miracle "Mystery Lock - Mermaid Princess". Call the scenery of the rising morning sun in the ocean; any scene illuminated by the first ray of sunlight can have time reversed, time accelerated, or abnormal time effects removed. No limit on range, no limit on type, no limit on scene. But, you alone cannot use this miracle to resurrect the dead.】

Accompanied by the stone statue fully reviving, the bewildered Miss Sander was pulled out from under the stone door by Granny Xinnuode, and that stone door fell completely.

The colorful bubbles flew into the high sky, and that ray of sunlight also disappeared, along with the ocean scene.

"Ha~ Ha~"

The panting Xia De sat down on the sand, Miss Mester stood behind him, and Miss Knight was still by the campfire. The cat looked around, curious about the change of scene. Granny Xinnuode supported Miss Sander and walked toward the group; the mermaid girl, who had not yet figured out what had happened, was still a bit bewildered, but she immediately saw the green crystal by the campfire:

"Ah! Is this the Heart of the Oasis?"

Xia De smiled reluctantly and was just about to speak when he suddenly felt the sand surface shake.

So everyone looked at the giant worm corpse together; it was not that the "Gravel Sand Sea" had an earthquake, but that the worm's corpse had actually moved.

It first shook its giant pale human head, and then the pitch-black worm body began to squirm on the sand surface.

"Although time reversal did not eliminate the power of the witch's seal, it did interfere with the sealing technique after all; after all, mystery locks and seals are both spatial powers."

The knowledgeable Granny Xinnuode said, but not only her, even Xia De did not have the power to take action again to protect the group.

In the sand sea under the moon, the worm gradually stood up its upper half, and the moonlight caused its shadow, which looked even larger, to stretch on the sand surface shimmering with silver light.

One hour had passed for more than fifty minutes, and the adventure in the Gravel Sand Sea was finally coming to an end. Xia De did not take action again to ask for Miss Mester's help; he supported the sand surface and wanted to stand up, trying his best to try one more time to solve this worm corpse that had just recovered a little power.

And Little Mia on Xia De's shoulder actually did not fear the large "creature" this time, but intimidated and "meowed" again.

But in the end, Xia De did not have to struggle to deal with the final trouble, because a huge element reaction had appeared behind him.

He had originally thought it was Miss Mester about to take action, but then realized that such an element reaction mixed with "whispers" and "miracles" was definitely not a deity.

Xia De heard singing; it was countless young girls praising in unison. And under the pitch-black high sky without stars, pure white light bloomed behind Xia De.

When Xia De turned his head, he saw Miss Knight, holding the petrified sword that was almost shattered, walking toward the worm in the light blooming like a rose.

The gray-white short hair fluttered in the violent wind from an unknown source, and then grew rapidly into gray-white long hair. The knight's full-body armor with a common style gradually melted in the white light, and the light outlined blue-white edges and meaningless rune decorations for it, while the leg armor directly deformed into skirt armor that was more convenient for movement and more gorgeous.

The scars left on the skin surface due to years of knight training disappeared bit by bit, and the height surged to almost the same level as Xia De within a few steps of walking.

The appearance of the determined female knight added a bit of softness, but only the eyes with a determined look did not change at all.

Amidst the singing of the girls and the blooming light, the golden miracle light bloomed behind her until the first golden staircase was thoroughly condensed. At the same time, steam mist also floated in the void, and when the giant hammer fell amidst the whistle and bell sound, the one-ring fate ring belonging to the ring warlock appeared behind her:

Enlightenment - 【Blessing】, Enlightenment - 【Sword】, Enlightenment - 【Persistence】.

"So it turns out that for an ancient witch to become a ring warlock, there is no need for any ritual or potion at all..."

But Xia De understood that a newborn first-order witch was definitely not a match for that worm; even if she was in her prime when she just awakened, she could never defeat an enemy of this level.

And the next moment, Miss Knight in the light raised that petrified sword that was close to shattering. Xia De, who realized what was about to happen, widened his eyes suddenly, and while reaching out wanting to say something, a loud dragon roar sounded from the dark night sky without stars.

Crack!

Golden thunder struck down and hit the raised stone sword, and thus—

Facing an enemy that might threaten civilization, the sand worm of the end, met;

Possessing a holy sword capable of carrying the sword of light, the stone sword shattered, but its nature met;

Heart of justice, met;

Facing the strong, met.

The stone shell peeled off, and pure white dazzling light bloomed in the sand sea, and when the newborn witch slashed that sword downward, the pure white color had already transformed into a dark silver similar to her original armor.

The giant dark silver beam of light directly split the head of the giant worm corpse, and then continued to slash downward along the midline of the worm's body. When the light sword touched the twisted power sealed inside the worm's body, the sword body hummed~, and then it thoroughly split the worm into two halves left and right with irresistible force.

Its body did not even have a chance to separate to the left and right and fall toward the sand sea, but was melted by that dark silver light sword in the air, turning into light spots and drifting away in the boundless sand sea.

"What exactly happened?"

Miss Sander, who still did not know what had happened, opened her mouth in surprise, and Xia De and Granny Xinnuode hurriedly ran toward Miss Knight, whose light was already dimming.

The determined heart, the persistent soul, the newborn witch who had witnessed the light of divinity, allowed the "Sword of Light" to evolve to the second stage in her hands, but at this time the light sword disappeared, and the ancient knight's holy sword turned into dust because it could not withstand the power.

After all, this was not a relic.

The light on the newborn first-order witch also disappeared, but what was more serious was that her body was becoming transparent, and then turned into light spots and drifted away with the night wind of the sand sea.

Granny Xinnuode, who was closest to Miss Knight, was the first to hug the girl who was about to disappear. The old elf tried to cast a spell to save her life, but after noticing something, large drops of tears slid down her aged face.

Xia De also did not stand there in a daze:

"False Immortality!"

He and Granny Xinnuode reached out to cast spells, but found that his miracle was already useless to Miss Knight. Although she was still there, she seemed to have already died.

"Don't try to keep me; this is the price."

Amidst Granny Xinnuode's sobbing, the female knight lay in her arms, looking at them weakly. Her complexion became pale and transparent, but her eyes were still shining like stars:

"Even if you saved me, I couldn't leave this desert. I have stayed here for too long; I know the condition of my body."

Xia De immediately turned to look at Miss Mester, who had also walked over, but the saint shook her head slightly this time:

"Before you appeared, she was destined to be unable to leave here. As an ordinary person, being able to walk to this step, even if she hadn't died yet, her body and soul had long been severely polluted by this sand sea, and even the essence of her soul was changing. Otherwise, she wouldn't have drawn that sword of light; do you think that sword could appear just casually?

That sword she slashed with her last life force just accelerated the process of soul collapse... this is also good." ===== CHAPTER 2354 =====
