Chapter 2525: The Speedster

~10 min read 1,973 words

Miss Winster did not oppose Xia De's "rest" suggestion. She nodded and turned into that chubby round-faced owl with a bang.

After Xia De sat on the bare bed board in the bedroom, it flew down and stood on Xia De's shoulder with its wings tucked.

The two fell silent. Xia De didn't know what the owl lady with her eyes closed was thinking. He was just thinking about the time rules of the "Twisted Tree Hole."

It was just that he didn't think for too long before he suddenly stood up, his face serious, and pinched the magic seal with his right hand:

"Night Curtain Seal!"

The light wave that pierced the bedroom door silently collided with the black spherical shield. The deep ink-colored night curtain perfectly absorbed the power of the miracle. The night curtain moved toward the window with Xia De's movement, and then Xia De jumped fiercely, shattering the glass, and jumped toward the backyard of the mansion holding the owl.

The two men in the corridor on the second floor entered the room, and then followed through the window and fell toward the backyard.

They looked at the young man holding the owl and frowned together:

"The time power triggered here just now was you? It's not Bennett?"

"You left means of monitoring time power here, wanting to know Bennett's secret? So, you also think Bennett has a problem?"

Xia De also asked, letting the owl stand on his shoulder:

"What a coincidence, I am also exploring the secret of the Bennett family.

Since everyone has the same goal, why don't you two cut yourselves once to apologize to me, and then let's exchange information?"

He suggested with a smile, as if he was sighing that the weather was good today and he didn't want to get up.

The two middle-ring warlocks stopped talking and rushed toward him together. They didn't want to get close to Xia De and fight with him, but their bodies accelerated suddenly when they took the second step.

But even though they accelerated time to exceed the speed of sound, they didn't make the sound of a sonic boom.

The two approached Xia De from left to right, and the spiritual light of the miracle about to be cast appeared in their hands. They were very confident in their own speed. In the world of time acceleration, everything was slowing down, but when they really got close to Xia De, they clearly saw Xia De's eyeballs turning to look at them.

"What?"

When Xia De first arrived in Vesta, he had seen the "speedster" who could pause time and crawl out of the cupboard. He didn't react in time that time, but with experience, he relied on his own powerful physical fitness and concentrated spirit to barely keep up with the speed of the two:

"I am eight rings now, and I can easily punch through a building. I can control the power finely to twist banknotes without breaking the paper. Why can't the reaction speed be close to the speed of sound?"

The two in the rapid state pointed their hands at Xia De respectively, but the red moonlight slashed by Xia De, who was moving, split the two spiritual lights. The fallen leaves around the three were almost frozen in the air. The two fists that hit Xia De with the acceleration of the rapid state had reached his face, and then were caught by Xia De in the astonished expressions of the two.

The Outlander's movement speed was of course not as good as theirs. This was a block based on spiritual prediction and instinct reaction.

With a click, the hand bones of the two were broken, and then Xia De stepped on the ground fiercely:

"Corrupt Blood Mist!"

Eight scarlet blood pillars surrounded him and sprayed into the sky, and then the scarlet corruption with highly toxic polluted the entire mud under Xia De's feet.

Even if the speed was fast, the two middle-ring warlocks did not dare to stay on this red corrupted land. After breaking free from Xia De's hands by relying on unknown acceleration virtualization, the two who had been contaminated with a small amount of poison retreated quickly and then exited the high-burden acceleration mode, and pointed at him at the same time:

"Aging Curse!"

"Coo coo~"

The owl spread its wings and flew to the high sky, and then the ink-colored shield blocked the two curses. The night color retreated quickly, but there was nothing in the shield, because at this time Xia De had appeared in the air above their heads.

The orange-red flame was held in the palm of his hand and turned into a fireball. Xia De then waved the fireball to bombard the bottom. With a bang, in the violent explosion, Xia De understood that the new power of fire that Sister Daelin realized some time ago was really useful.

Two embarrassed acceleration figures rushed out of the smoke of the explosion, but then a series of fireballs were thrown out from Xia De's hands one after another.

In fact, Xia De had never learned "Fireball Technique," but the basic spell "Fire Induction" had been able to evolve into Fireball Technique by itself in the hands of a ring warlock like him. The power of the First Fire had significantly increased the power of all Xia De's fire spells. After Sister Daelin realized the violence of the First Fire, the power of Fireball Technique was far beyond ordinary miracles.

The huge spiritual power supported Xia De's casting. The two who were bombarded by fireballs one after another, even if they kept dodging by relying on speed, but after the number of fireballs was enough and the density was enough, the range they covered did not allow them to dodge.

It was just that the sound and light of the fireball explosion were too conspicuous. Even if both sides tacitly threw out charms to cover up, Xia De was still worried that this kind of battle would attract others soon. But before he decided to end the battle, the opponent changed tactics first.

The two strangers stopped fleeing abruptly, and six-ring and seven-ring life rings appeared behind them respectively. The seven-ring warlock blocked in front of his companion and threw a shriveled holy scarab to cooperate with the casting. While the shield unfolded, the rumbling fireballs drowned them.

But in the smoke of the explosion, the six-ring warlock who was covered also prepared for casting. When the fireball hard-bombed and shattered that layer of shield, the six-ring warlock with black hair sprinkled the relic 【Sands of Time】 toward Xia De:

"Sands of Time - Miracle · Sands of Time!"

Although only a small pinch of sand dust was sprinkled, in an instant, the sky full of yellow sand blew toward Xia De. The fireballs in a string disappeared one by one in the yellow sand, and the fallen leaves scattered due to the explosion quickly turned yellow and disappeared. The power of time rolled forward, pushing the decay of all things with the force of a landslide.

"Miracle - Breath of Wind!"

The owl in the air immediately flapped its wings and called for a hurricane, but the natural wind could not blow away the sand of time.

"Miracle used with relics?"

Xia De was startled, but did not dodge backward as the opponent thought, but walked directly forward, walking into the yellow sand without fear.

Whether it was the two strange ring warlocks or the owl in the air, they were all surprised by his move, but then they found that the power of time did not affect him at all.

The sand blew on the skin and continued to fly backward. Time did not leave any traces on his face. The wild grass under his feet withered and yellowed due to the years, but he was still healthy and young.

The area where the sandstorm spread was less than five meters. In the blink of an eye, Xia De had rushed out of the sandstorm, and flames burned in his hands again.

"Go!"

The two who knew they had met their opponent did not hesitate, turned and ran toward the forest behind the manor, but after two owl feathers fell from the top of their heads, the six-ring warlock who had just used 【Sands of Time】 to cast the spell stiffened and died on the spot.

That feather was an illusion caused by the instant death secret technique.

The remaining seven-ring warlock, although he was bombed very miserably by the fireball just now, avoided the feathers sprinkled by the owl after entering the acceleration state because he did not over-cast the spell.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he had climbed over the back wall of the manor and disappeared into the forest behind the manor. When Xia De chased into the woods, he originally wanted to sigh "speedsters are troublesome" and other complaints, but a desperate scream came from the woods in the distance.

The owl flew from the top of Xia De's head to the forest. Xia De hesitated for a moment, then turned back to the manor to collect the corpse, and used the miracle to restore the backyard that had been bombed to its original state, and then re-entered the woods.

The trees here were still relatively sparse. Before long, Xia De saw the corpse of the seven-ring warlock lying on the ground between the trees, and a plain wooden arrow pierced his left chest.

The owl stood on the treetop of a big tree not far from the corpse, watching the golden-haired elf in a silver-blue robe, bending down to pull the wooden arrow from the corpse's chest.

The elf lady turned around when she heard the footsteps, and just happened to see Xia De slowing down and walking over.

So she smiled:

"Good morning, you don't have to thank me."

The location at this time was about two hours' walk from the area where the flower sea and tree house were located.

"Good morning."

Xia De also responded, but didn't see a bow or quiver on her, as if she had just thrown the arrow she was holding at the time empty-handed:

"But I still want to say thank you... Is it convenient to reveal how you hit him while he was moving at high speed? Even with my reaction ability, I couldn't catch him."

Xia De continued to walk toward her, and the elf lady smiled, her emerald eyes looking at him:

"This is easy, the forest will help me. Even if his speed is fast, as long as the forest doesn't like him, then even a pebble thrown by a child can easily hit him."

She handed the wooden arrow in her hand to Xia De:

"I want you to help me find those arrows, the appearance is the same as this one. This one is not genuine, I made it myself, and I specially sent it to you today for you to see."

That wooden arrow was indeed just an ordinary handmade product. Xia De held the arrow and nodded:

"Okay, I will continue to pay attention... You came here to send me arrows?"

"Of course, otherwise what else could it be for? Watching you date an owl?"

The mysterious elf lady smiled and waved at him:

"Then see you again, I'll wait for your good news. Oh, I have to tell you one more piece of news: this person belongs to an organization called 【Tree Hole Association】."

After speaking, she waved at the owl that was standing on the treetop with its wings tucked and looking at her vigilantly, then turned and entered the forest, and soon disappeared without a trace.
