Chapter 2436

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Xia De had no doubt that Emilia would have asked for an autograph or a group photo on the spot.

Xia De looked at Luweiya again, and the purple-eyed diviner girl smiled at him:

"Miss Feilian, this Miss Luweiya Anate is not only my classmate, but also my..."

Pebbles jumped at their feet, and the sudden tremor of the ground interrupted Xia De's words. Even Miss Feilian and Fiona turned around and, together with everyone behind Xia De, looked toward the center of the sacrificial grounds.

After the "Evil Dragon of Light" was killed by the demigod witch, the light spots dancing all over the sky that were left behind were still drifting toward the sacrificial grounds and even the city below like feathers. But along with the overall tremor of the sacrificial grounds, the light spots were actually gathering toward the center of the sacrificial grounds.

"We defeated the enemy, so this place burying countless secrets won't collapse, right... that's how it's written in books."

Xia De heard Emilia say this, but it was clear that the elf girl's guess wasn't right, because what was happening at this moment was even more excessive than in "knight hero stories."

Generally speaking, after a divine descent ends, the existence that served as the vessel for the divine descent would completely perish because it couldn't withstand the god's power. But in reality, there were some exceptions. For example, Xia De didn't die, and for example, the evil object of the deep sea that bore the power of the 【Lord of the Scarlet Spiral】 this time also just returned to the deep sea in an extremely shattered state.

The strange giant dragon born from the gray dragon egg in the center of the sacrificial grounds had naturally disappeared completely along with the failure of the divine war, but those shattered giant eggshells were still scattered on the gray stone ground.

Just now, when Xia De and Miss Feilian were embracing, the light spots all over the sky touched those eggshells, actually as if activating some kind of power.

Thus, along with the continuous tremors of the entire sacrificial grounds, after the first black lightning streaked across the clear sky above their heads, amidst the sacred singing that made everyone's heart stop, a violent wind suddenly rose, black sand filled the sky, and after a hum, a beam of heavenly light fell from the higher void.

The weightless light fell toward those eggshells that were attracting the peculiar light, and the suddenly erupting power instantly shook everyone in the center of the sacrificial grounds away.

That grotesque and evil sacred singing, sung in the ancient giant dragon language, was rapidly becoming loud, and in that beam of light falling from the void, the remaining eggshells were being pieced together one by one in the air, and countless light spots were repairing the parts of the eggshells that were missing.

"Again?"

Luweiya looked at Xia De for the first time, and then discovered that everyone was looking at him.

The sacrificial grounds under the clear sky were dim at this moment, but it wasn't because there were dark clouds, but because all the light was gathering toward the giant egg in that beam of light.

Cold wind roared above the sacrificial grounds with unprovoked black gravel, one black lightning after another kept striking down above everyone's heads, and that rumbling sound made the atmosphere increasingly oppressive.

Xia De naturally knew what everyone meant by looking at him at this moment, but the problem now was that even without asking "her," he knew that his state at this moment couldn't ignite another drop of divinity.

The divinity reserve before the Battle of Moon Bay was three drops. One drop was used during the promotion and the divine war, and one drop was obtained when opening the Misuo with Miss Isabella, so there were two drops left now.

But the problem was that no matter how strong Xia De's body was, he was ultimately not a true god. If he dared to ignite another drop of divinity at this moment, he was afraid he would really have to go and "reunite" with Detective Sparrow Hamilton and the others.

"Although I prepared so many means for the Battle of Moon Bay, isn't this too much? How could I have imagined that this situation would occur—why can the 【Dragon-Eating Demon】 descend divinely continuously!"

Xia De asked helplessly, and Miss Feilian actually answered this question:

"I'm afraid the divine descent vessel hasn't completely died yet. That egg... the chaotic spiral, the contradiction of life and death, that's it, the light reactivated the power of the eggshells, and that divine descent vessel is about to be reborn."

But even knowing the ins and outs of the matter, it was impossible to stop the rebirth of that egg at this moment. Everyone had already proven just now that this egg was immortal in this field.

The helpless Xia De braced his body and took out the 【Aikenola - Arrow of the Chosen One】. He asked the purple-dressed blonde witch in front of him with his eyes, wanting to shoot this arrow together with her, but Miss Feilian shook her head gently:

"This arrow is enough to defeat this god, but this will cause this arrow to disintegrate. Are you willing to bear this price?"

【Aikenola - Arrow of the Chosen One】 contained the qualification of the Chosen One of "Knowledge and Wisdom," so Xia De naturally couldn't let it be destroyed. Seeing that Fiona had already retreated behind the two, Xia De gritted his teeth:

"Then I'll do it again! If He can do it, I can too!"

Even knowing that the consequences would be very serious, the people he loved were here, and he couldn't do nothing. If it was said that he wasn't very willing to sacrifice himself for Moon Bay, but if it was for them...

Miss Feilian and Luweiya pulled Xia De, who was trying to walk forward, from left and right.

Xia De looked at them, but discovered that the two ladies were signaling him to look behind.

After Xia De turned around, the people behind him had already cleared a space. Sister Dervlin and the Guardian of the Earth stood on the left and right of the stone statue of Mr. Ptolemy Albei, who was standing at the edge of the sacrificial grounds looking out over the entire Moon Bay, and that stone statue was glowing.

Behind was the Evil God descending divinely in that beam of heavenly light, and the light on the stone statue in front gradually extinguished. Afterward, Ptolemy Albei, wearing a brown hooded robe, walked out from his own stone statue:

"Thank you for your help."

He said to the nun and the soul aggregate, then pulled out the longsword that had been stabbed into the earth and walked toward Xia De step by step.

"Do you know?"

The black-haired coroner asked:

"In all the years I've worked in the Spider Alley morgue, I've never been absent or taken leave once. I even received a commemorative medal from the Moon Bay Police Department for this. Now it seems, I can continue to extend this record."

"Is this also relying on your 'Light Avatar' talent?"

Xia De asked, and the vampire coroner nodded slightly, arriving in front of Xia De, his somewhat pale eyes looking at him:

"The divine arts of the Ancient Gods have the highest priority. You can consider that I have indeed paid the price. Of course, without the help of the nun who presides over death and the respectable people who protect the earth, I wouldn't have been able to appear before you through an avatar... Mr. Watson, Mr. Hamilton, you don't look surprised at all?"

"The Chosen One isn't that easy to die, let alone the Chosen One of Justice who died for justice. Can you deal with this?"

Xia De pointed to the beam of heavenly light behind him, and Ptolemy Albei shook his head slightly:

"I need to correct two points:

First, even if I were in my prime state, I couldn't deal with it; otherwise, there wouldn't have been a need for so many people to sacrifice themselves just now;

Second, I am still in the state of a stone statue; only my soul was preserved because of the special talent of the Chosen One.

You can consider that I have been sealed; my body, soul, and most of my power have all been sealed. What you see now is just the light avatar I use to move."

"Then your avatar appearing shouldn't just be to say these things, right?"

Xia De asked with a smile, and Ptolemy Albei nodded seriously:

"Xia De Hamilton, you have a way."

As he spoke, he handed the blood-colored longsword in his hand to Xia De.

Xia De grasped the hilt. The faint light emitted by the sword body and the power brought by the rich miracle elements were all telling Xia De that this sword was a genuine Ancient God artifact.

"But this is still not enough."

The Outsider said, and the Chosen One of Light and Justice asked again:

"After experiencing so many things, don't you understand yet? Even if you don't admit what you are doing, this world will acknowledge the efforts you have always made for us."

After finishing speaking, he didn't open his mouth again. Xia De didn't pay attention to the state of the egg in the heavenly light behind him, nor did he pay attention to the church crowd preparing to fight again. He looked at everyone gathered around him, and everyone was also looking at him.

Finally, Xia De looked at Matilda, and the blonde maid handed over the ancient knight longsword with the gold-blue enamel scabbard.

He held the "Artifact - Sword of Light" in his left hand and the souvenir from his adventure in the "Gravel Gold Sand Sea" in his right hand. When he turned to prepare to set off, Miss Feilian pulled Xia De's sleeve with a smile, and then placed the small statue of the "Ancient God - Dragon of Radiant Light" into Xia De's pocket:

"Xia De, go do it, I am watching you here."

Everyone stood in place watching Xia De walk toward that beam of heavenly light. The violent wind blew his body, forcing him to bend his waist to continue moving forward. I don't know at which second, perhaps at the second when everyone happened to blink, the golden cracks symbolizing the "Afterglow of Divinity" had already spread all over Xia De's body.

The golden radiance drifted with the wind toward the crowd beside the "Radiant Messenger." Fiona noticed Miss Feilian reaching out to touch one of the light spots, but didn't say anything.

On the longsword in his right hand that hadn't yet been unsheathed, the yellow moonlight symbolizing "guidance" gradually brightened, until the bright and clear yellow moonlight greatsword wrapped around that witch knight sword.

On the "Sword of Light" of the Chosen One in his left hand, the scarlet moonlight symbolizing "flesh and blood" gradually brightened, until the scarlet and dazzling red moonlight greatsword wrapped around that holy sword.

The giant egg in the pillar of light had already taken shape again, and a clear heartbeat could be heard from the trembling giant egg.

But no one looked at that egg; all mortals were watching the figure walking toward that pillar of light against the violent wind. His figure had gradually become blurred, but the gorgeous yellow and red longswords in his left and right hands were still clear.

"This is not the miracle 【Moonlight Greatsword】; both swords are 【Sword of Light · Second Form】."

But gradually, even the light of those two swords became ambiguous and blurred.

The red moonlight and the yellow moonlight seemed to gradually entwine on his body and blend together. As his figure walked completely into that black dust, even his general outline at this moment could no longer be seen.

Only the light of divinity remained clear.
