Chapter 2415: Lifting the Moon

The whispering elements increased sharply the moment the water level rose. When the liquid level stopped rising, its intensity had reached a level that made Xia De feel a strong dizziness even without looking at it.

Besides that, he also had a very strange feeling; he wanted to drink the... in the basin.

"Balance!"

Dark golden micro-light radiated from the scale that Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's own life ring had turned into. Under the power of the Chosen One, Xia De and the frowning Miss Dannister felt a little better.

"Red Moon Witch" was almost at the pinnacle of the Ringed Shushi of this era, but she also understood that she couldn't waste time:

"Let's do it directly. Xia De, grab the edge of the stone basin with me with both hands, and let your fingers sink shallowly into the water."

The two grabbed the relic from left to right. The cold but gentle touch made Xia De feel that what he was grabbing didn't look like stone at all. When his fingers touched the liquid, "She" laughed softly in Xia De's ear:

【Outsider, you have felt "Whisper."】

【You have touched the second fragment of the original moon, Strange Technique - Ancient Sound triggered:】

【The collapse of the original moon occurred at the end of the initial era. There is no need to try to gather the fragments of the initial moon; this is meaningless.】

This time the information was surprisingly little, but Xia De had no time to think about these things.

At this time, he and Miss Dannister had already released their own life rings, and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, because she was on the side of the two, saw it most clearly. The Thirteenth-Tier life ring of that St. Byrons library management lady was gorgeous enough, but the size of her life ring was only about two-thirds of Xia De's... and this was not the largest state of Xia De's life ring that Yin Yi Yi Lu Na had seen.

"Xia De, you only need to remember one thing: no matter what happens in a while, you absolutely must not try to throw your body into the water, otherwise you will melt in the moon in the water."

The core Spirit Runes 【Red Moon】 and 【Silver Moon】 of the two had already spontaneously projected spiritual light toward the water basin under the stimulation of the relic, and in that light, the reflection of a faint moon actually appeared in the water basin that was originally empty.

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na looked up, and found that the daylight hadn't changed at all.

"Xia De, follow me to do the next steps. If you feel something is wrong, pull your hands away immediately."

Miss Dannister continued, and then slowly slid her hands that were grabbing the edge of the stone basin into the bottom of the water basin. The ripples caused by the clean hands entering the water made the reflection of the moon in the water, whose color could not be seen clearly, become more solid.

Xia De also followed her movements. After the four hands of the two could touch each other at the bottom of the stone basin, Miss Dannister, whose forehead was already sweating, slowly lifted it up with Xia De's hands.

At first, Xia De could only feel a slight pressure from the liquid, but soon he felt that he had touched a... indescribable thing in the water. There was no touch, no specific shape, but it did have weight.

The intangible thing became heavier and heavier, and finally even made Xia De adjust his posture to borrow strength from the tower roof ground more conveniently. Fortunately, besides this, Xia De didn't feel any other strangeness.

But he soon discovered that Miss Dannister's situation was a bit wrong, because the parts of her two hands that were submerged in the water were actually becoming transparent, and the trend of transparency had even spread to her elbows after rolling up her sleeves.

"Don't be distracted by looking at me."

The red-haired lady warned, her voice trembling, but Xia De still only felt that what he was holding at this moment was a bit heavy.

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, who was holding the scale, naturally noticed that the states of the two were very different, but she didn't say anything, just pouted a little dissatisfied when she saw Xia De and Miss Dannister's four hands almost interlocking fingers as they emerged from the water.

The four hands joined together held shallow liquid, and in that liquid was the reflection of the bright silver moon of the night.

Although Miss Dannister was puzzled why she was stronger than Xia De, what appeared was not a red moon but a silver moon, she still continued the action:

"Up."

The arms continued to lift. At this moment, even Yin Yi Yi Lu Na couldn't suppress the whispering elements. Besides the hands of the two and the stone basin, even the ground was already covered with the radiance of the silver moon. In the eyes of the people under the tower, the tower top covered in glowing thick mist at this moment looked like a full silver moon had risen.

And what was more critical was that a layer of rich night color had emerged in the space around Xia De and Miss Dannister, whose hands were connected.

Miss Dannister's arms were completely turned into semi-transparent silver at this time, sweat flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably, while Xia De, besides his hands being wet by the water, still looked like there was no problem.

"Miss Dannister, you still have to participate in the battle in a while, let go."

He said softly, not trying to be brave but really feeling that he was fine, and "She" didn't even give a hint of physical or mental damage.

"It's okay, as long as the moon rises, my arms can recover."

The witch said in a trembling voice. Xia De didn't doubt that she could indeed recover, but with a big battle imminent, there was no need for Miss Dannister to consume too much here for safety.

"Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, please pull Miss Dannister away."

"Miss Beiya, I'm fine."

The two had two opinions, and the girl holding the scale just blinked, then grabbed the scale with one hand and reached out to Miss Dannister with the other.

For Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, this kind of thing didn't need hesitation.

She just pulled symbolically, and the helpless Miss Dannister took the initiative to leave all the liquid in her palms to Xia De and pulled her hands out of Xia De's hands.

Sure enough, after the hands were withdrawn, the rich night color around her body disappeared, and the abnormality of her arms was recovering rapidly. She withdrew her life ring and rubbed her shoulders, looking at Xia De with Yin Yi Yi Lu Na.

And Xia De looked up at his raised arms. After the two hands had reached the highest point, the library management lady also gave the final instruction:

"Imagine the moon rising into the night sky, imagine the night covering our heads."

Almost the moment her voice fell, the "moon" in the liquid held by Xia De flew into the high sky by itself.

It carried the night color around Xia De's body and disappeared into the high sky above his head. The three looked up together, and only a few seconds later, the daylight dimmed suddenly. And half a minute later, the rich night color that couldn't be dissolved had covered his head. Even if the entire city was filled with glowing white mist, no one doubted at this moment that the long night had descended.

Above the thick mist, three bright moons could be observed directly with the naked eye. And in the stone basin between the three, there was still the reflection of the silver moon in the clear glowing liquid.

Moon in water, seemingly reachable, but that was just a shadow.

【Outsider, you have successfully created the night with the help of the relic's power.】

【You have gained insight into "Night."】

"Hmm... if I remember correctly, when I was in 【Eternal Night City】, I had already gained insight into 'Night' three times. This is the fourth time, and I still haven't obtained a Spirit Rune?"

【Gaining a Spirit Rune from three insights is just a high probability, you have to learn to wait.】

"She" laughed gently in Xia De's ear. Xia De felt as if he was being hugged from behind, but he knew that even if he turned his head, he wouldn't see anything.

And Yin Yi Yi Lu Na was still looking down at the moon in the stone basin when a silver flash suddenly flashed in her peripheral vision. She looked at Xia De in surprise, but found nothing:

"Am I under too much pressure lately?"

"Success, I didn't expect it to be so smooth."

The red-haired witch smiled and shifted her gaze from the moon above her head to Xia De's face:

"You are even more excellent than I thought."

Xia De was a bit embarrassed:

"Does this relic need someone to supervise it here?"

"After you leave in a while, the church's Ringed Shushi will be responsible for this place. It's just that tomorrow morning, newspapers all over the world will have to report this sudden 'eclipse'."

"How to explain that moon? Will there be a moon during an eclipse?"

Xia De asked curiously again. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na was about to explain for him, but suddenly reached out to catch a drop of rain.

A few seconds later, a heavy rain mixed with sleet had covered the city area under the night. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na asked in surprise:

"I know it's raining and snowing in the dock and harbor areas, but the city area isn't..."

"It's coming."

Xia De stood at the highest point of Moon Bay City and turned to look at the south of the city:

"The deep-sea evil thing—the Player of Seven Tails has come."

"I..."

"Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, you stay here. According to the intelligence I received, the God-Descending will definitely happen in the city area, you must stay here."

After speaking, he asked Miss Dannister again:

"Do you want to go together?"

Xia De had said when he left the manor that if he encountered any accidents, he wouldn't return to the manor and would join the battlefield directly.

The witch naturally nodded:

"Of course."

She said, and reached out to Xia De, meaning to take Xia De to fly over. But Xia De shook his head, walked a few steps, and jumped off the tower top.

A few seconds later, amidst the exclamations from the mist around the tower, silver glowing scales appeared first across the ground of the tower terrace, followed by the huge "Moonlight Dragon" dragon head emerging from under the tower.

Xia De's unique serious expression could still be seen in the gold-silver mixed eyes. He had the last bottle of "Transformation Reversion Potion" he got from Emilia, and he didn't hesitate to turn into a dragon.

Eyes larger than the witch herself looked at Miss Dannister. She smiled, and while the giant dragon flapped its wings and flew toward the southern night sky, she turned into a red light and flew behind it.

Leaving only Yin Yi Yi Lu Na holding her scale with one hand, watching them disappear:

"Really, it wasn't my turn this time..."

Kicking the gravel by her feet dissatisfied, she picked up 【Pale Justice】 stuck in the floor tile gap with her empty hand:

"I want to see who is the first one to provoke me next!" **CHAPTER 2416**
