Chapter 2423: Miracle—Guidance

As the black light sprayed by the god vanished, the crowd, too stunned to react, continued to throw their attack spells at the god, but even the Thirteenth-Tier sorcerers like Mr. Pigman, the "Silver Warden" and Principal of St. Byrons, and the "Nightmare Witch" of the Nature Church, failed to have any effect on the god.

"Chosen One, hurry!"

The four Chosen Ones, led by Iluna, strengthened their own power to restrain the god. Among them, the strongest "Guardian of the Earth" had incarnated into thousands of soul phantoms to call upon the power of the earth together, and the strongest butterfly-winged girl had red butterflies fluttering wantonly around her, the whisper power of the relic symbolizing "Severance" alternating with the enlightenment power of the person chosen by civilization symbolizing "Mending."

On the Twelfth-Tier Sister Daifulin, the fire of the Primordial Fire had already infected death. That strange flame seemed to have a stronger binding effect on the god than the power of the Ancient God, and the raging flames had even caused a few scales on the god to burn.

The roaring dragon god's body was temporarily unable to move, but it could still turn its head and spray destructive black light to sweep across the sacrificial grounds.

The "Angel of Death" stepped forward to block it but only held out for two seconds before turning into flying ash and disappearing. Father Augustus, who had been brought up by the doctor outside the sacrificial grounds, spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fainted. Then the black light continued to sweep, and at least twenty church high-tier sorcerers were annihilated in this light.

*Boom! *

The sweeping black light that flew out of the sacrificial grounds finally drew a giant "scar" in the east of the city. Within the scar, the earth sank a hundred meters, almost forming an abyss. The black power polluted the earth, and the dense dragon beasts and incomplete dragon-men crawling out of the scar walked toward the remaining living people in the city.

Roar!

The target of the black light sprayed by the god this time was Iluna. The eighteen-year-old girl had nowhere to hide at this moment, and then she saw two figures block in front of her:

"Heaton Seal!"

"Heaton Seal!"

Xia De and the Thirteenth-Tier sorcerer of the Sun Church, Mr. Pierre Granger, the "Earth Shaker," used the same spell simultaneously, and the two homologous shields emitting flowing light merged. But the next second, the black light pierced through the powerful shield constructed of sunlight, and Mr. Granger disappeared, turning into ash:

"Dodge!"

The time he bought allowed Xia De to pull Iluna and use space movement to avoid this attack, and at the last moment, he pushed Mr. Granger's soul away from the light after his death.

But this not only caused the black light to rush toward the city below again, leaving scars in the city again, and even caused the Bellindell Manor to collapse completely into ruins, but also caused Iluna's power symbolizing 【Balance】 to be unable to continue to act on the god.

"Xia De!"

Iluna saw Xia De, whose right arm was half-missing and covered in golden cracks, but Xia De, who was panting, shook his head:

"Although the god was restricted by many powers, and there was Mr. Granger's sacrifice, without the angel's help, I actually managed to block a god's attack in my normal state just now without dying?"

Because of the lack of Iluna's crucial help, the remaining three gray, earth-yellow, and transparent ropes broke one after another. The god stopped roaring, and on its body, which had expanded to almost cover the sky, light flickered in the gaps of the dragon scales. Then, thousands of black light rays burst out, sweeping across the sacrificial grounds and the city below. People who couldn't dodge in time turned into flying ash in an instant.

He didn't pay attention to anyone else, opened his mouth, and bit Ptolemy Albei, who was in that beam of dark-gold heavenly light.

Xia De, held in Iluna's arms, did nothing, just looked up at this scene.

"Is it over?"

"Of course not. Believe in him, and believe in justice!"

*Crack! *

The first dark-gold thunderbolt exploded from the clear sky and hit the god's closed mouth head-on.

*Crack! *

The second dark-gold thunderbolt struck down along the pillar of light illuminating the god's mouth. Thus, dense dark-gold light shot out from the gaps of the god's closed mouth.

*Crack! *

The third dark-gold thunderbolt hit the evil god 【Dragon-Devouring Demon】 again. The light emitted from the god's mouth grew brighter and brighter, until it was as if he had swallowed a dark-gold sun.

*Crack! Crack! *

The fourth and fifth dark-gold thunderbolts struck down together. In this one minute since the god's descent, he showed pain and unease for the first time.

*Crack! *

In the sixth dark-gold thunderbolt, Ptolemy Albei, holding a blood-colored light sword stained with god's blood, flew out, his whole body radiating light.

"Light Sword, second form..."

"I will let you see my justice."

He looked down at Xia De, who was held by Iluna, then raised the longsword in his hand to meet the seventh, and also the last, dark-gold thunderbolt.

*Crack! *

The thunder hit the longsword, and all the light on Ptolemy Albei's body turned into dark gold at this moment. The ritual base composed of thirteen light points caused the life ring behind him to melt, and then it turned into that radiant dragon head holy emblem.

*Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! *

Bells rang out from somewhere unknown. Mr. Albei raised the holy sword high, and power that seemed to have traveled through the ages, power originating from a more primitive era, swept across the entire Moon Bay at this moment, centered on the top of the sacrificial grounds.

The god retreated a step in that light. At this moment, black ash was still falling; these were the last remains left by the people who died in the god's hasty attack just now.

Xia De looked back and saw that the priests of the 【Vampire Sect】 were still performing the ritual, but the god-descending vessel he had shaped showed no movement at all. So he gritted his teeth, stood up, and bathed in the radiance of the "Light" Chosen One together with Iluna.

In Iluna's hand, 【Pale Justice】 shone because of this radiance, and in Xia De's intact left hand, the silver-white blade of 【Night Watcher】 lit up with a faint light.

In the distance, the 【Wind King Sword】 in John Flynn's hand had been lit, and the 【Angel's Right Arm】 in the hand of the semi-conscious Father Augustus also bloomed with light.

Emilia, who was flying upward on a unicorn, only realized that the 【Flute of Time】 she was holding was glowing after a reminder from Luvia behind her. The confused girl was curious, but saw the countess and Marilyn Handel flying beside them accelerating toward the sacrificial grounds.

"Little Liana, let's hurry too!"

Even though Xia De didn't want Emilia to reach this sacrificial ground, Luvia had brought her here after all.

In the center of the sacrificial grounds, Sister Daifulin, the Guardians of the Earth, and the butterfly-winged girl, who had just been sent flying by the god's power, had returned. Xia De, looking at the black dragon god startled by the longsword in Mr. Albei's hand, ignored the pain of his missing limbs, forcibly broke free from Iluna's hand, and stumbled forward a few steps. Iluna wanted to support him again, but was forced back by the steam fog surging from behind him.

Even through the thick, scorching white fog, the eighteen-year-old girl could still see Xia De's figure at this moment.

Because the light of divinity almost completely ignited him, in the eyes of the survivors, golden flames were raging on his body.

The black dragon god, startled by the familiar power, turned its head and sprayed black light downward, but this time, Mr. Albei transformed into light and blocked above Xia De, swinging his sword to cut off the dragon god's spray, and the longsword in his hand completely transformed into a blood-colored light sword. This was something the "Angel of Death" phantom just now hadn't been able to do, so the "Chosen One of Light" indeed had special targeted power against this evil god.

Scales, cup, scythe, cube, radiant dragon head—five Ancient God holy emblems bloomed with light. Amidst the roars that shook the entire sky, five kinds of light turned into ropes again to restrain it. The addition of the second-stage Light Sword greatly enhanced the power of this restraint.

And at this moment, "She" smiled gently and said in Xia De's ear:

【Outsider, you guided the birth of the "Light" Chosen One, and you have gained insight into "Guidance."】

【Outsider, you have touched a "Miracle."】

The massive Seven-Ring Life Ring behind him had already automatically emerged amidst the sound of bells and whistles, and the rapidly rotating life ring was gathering the miracle light produced by the "Light" Chosen One ritual from the air.

The rippling golden light could no longer be distinguished as coming from the Chosen One ritual or Xia De himself, and at this moment, he just walked forward while hearing "Her" gentle voice:

【Guide heroes onto their own paths, and at the crossroads of fate, point out the direction for those who are lost. Outsider, because of your appearance, the story of the foreign land has undergone more changes, and you do not know where the guidance you give will lead this world. But at least for now, miracles are with you.】

The rapidly rotating life ring actually turned golden like Mr. Albei's just now, but this was a brilliant golden yellow.

【Outsider, you have inscribed a miracle spirit rune...】

"Roar!"

The restrained god sprayed a mouthful of black light at Xia De, who was walking toward him, and Mr. Albei blocked in front of Xia De again and swung his sword. The bloody light and black light dissipated at the same time, but soon the light re-formed Ptolemy Albei's body. In this sacrificial ground where the Ancient God 【Dragon of Radiant Light】 once stood, he was also immortal.

【... Golden Miracle Spirit Rune—Guidance.】

With this, all seven spirit runes of the Seven Rings were complete. Luvia, Miss Bellindell, Ms. Marilyn Handel, and Joey Barton, who had rushed from the edge of the sacrificial grounds, as well as Emilia in golden armor and the little unicorn, happened to see this scene at this moment.

In the ruins of the Bellindell Manor, an orange cat crawled out from the arms of the black-haired maid who was standing in the rubble and looking up, its amber eyes reflecting the divine light lingering in the sky.

"Prepare for advancement."

【Understood.】

"She" answered gently.

The ancient bell ringing echoing in the sacrificial grounds seemed to bring time back to that ancient era. Although there had been bell ringing for various reasons just now, none of them were as vicissitudinous and distant as this moment. ===== CHAPTER 2424 =====
