Chapter 259
In the smoke and dust of the explosion, the tree vines dragged the Silver-Eyed One backward. Until he hit the huge tree trunk of the 【Corpse Tree】 heavily, and then sat there without moving, quietly watching the smoke and dust subside.
The huge tree canopy overhead was shaking uneasily, and the loud noise produced by the explosion echoed here constantly. The mercury human figure walked out of the smoke and dust, as if it was completely unaffected by the explosion of the steam bomb.
In the glowing silver mist summoned by the illusion, the sound of bells and whistles came. Brilliant moonlight flew out from the silver mist, and the mercury human figure raised its arm—
Clang!
In the tooth-aching sound, the right arm of the mercury human figure was slashed open by half, but with the disappearance of the Silver Moon, it recovered quickly.
It stood in place and opened its mouth. With the appearance of the wind, the silver mist summoned by the illusion was actually sucked into its mouth quickly.
Seeing that the illusion was about to fail, Xia De waved his hand and another silver light appeared, then he took a step back and lit the candle in his hand again. But the mercury human figure seemed to be able to see Xia De, and actually rushed toward him straight.
It didn't seem to have any spell ability, actually raised its right arm high, the mercury squirmed and deformed, turning into a long sword and slashing toward Xia De.
Xia De didn't even think about it, the silver light at his fingertips turned into a sharp blade. He raised his hand neatly and blocked it. The mercury broken sword flew out spinning, and Xia De looked at his hand in surprise, not expecting this oddity that hadn't taken shape to have such power.
The mercury human figure flowed under the control of the Silver-Eyed One, and the right arm regenerated slowly. Xia De immediately swung his right hand toward his head:
"Blade of Disordered Time!"
The mercury left arm flowing with radiance blocked Xia De's attack, but was also cut off by the sharp moonlight.
Then Xia De raised his hand and stabbed forward again, the moonlight short blade at his fingertips stabbed toward the chest of the mercury human figure, but was blocked again by the slowly regenerating right arm.
But this was also in Xia De's expectation, because the moonlight short blade that appeared abruptly in the air stabbed into the head of the mercury human figure. The Silver-Eyed One sitting under the tree spat out a mouthful of blood, and the mercury human figure scattered into mercury in front of Xia De and fell to the ground.
"Is that a time oddity?"
The Silver-Eyed One, who was panting, asked loudly under the ghostly blue light of the tree vines, but didn't get Xia De's answer. Xia De panted and examined him. The Silver-Eyed One's power now seemed to be less than three rings.
"Save me, you save me, I will give you a reward. No matter what you want, I can give it to you! Divine Gift Box, and other things. Save me, you won't suffer a loss."
Xia De originally didn't want to pay attention to him, but seeing that the other party started begging, he immediately understood that he was really not working. He took out his revolver and fired a few shots, then regardless of whether he missed or the bullets were useless, Xia De asked the man under the tree while recovering:
"I don't want to humiliate you, I just want to say, I originally thought that the life of a high-ring Shushi was magnificent, having experienced so many stories, you must be firm in your heart, have the determination and courage to fight to the death, and even want to fight to the death. But your current performance is too disappointing."
"Courage to face death? No, young man, you won't understand. Death is the most terrible thing in this world. When you reach my step, you will be the same as me."
Xia De looked at the Silver-Eyed One, and the Silver-Eyed One also looked at him with pleading eyes:
"Save me, I will give you a reward."
Xia De narrowed his eyes:
"Death is the most terrible? No, there are always some things that are higher than life."
The Outsider had seen those selfless people in his hometown, and had also seen the determination of the Church's Ringed Shushi in this world.
"No, death is the most terrible. In order to live, I can sacrifice everything! I have the determination to pay everything."
The Silver-Eyed One said weakly, without the strength when he wanted to kill Xia De just now. But the tree seemed to understand his meaning, and the vines behind him squirmed more quickly. The Silver-Eyed One screamed and curled up under the tree and stopped moving.
These words made Xia De understand that the other party was completely different from himself. The cowardice and pleading at this moment were just to survive. This was probably that kind of bad person in the traditional sense, using power unscrupulously when he was in power, and being able to do anything to survive when he lost power.
Miss Beiya had a feud with the Silver-Eyed One, from the encounter when performing a mission at the first ring, to the constant searching later. The hatred had been entangled for many years and was heading toward an end today. Choosing this guy as the "fated enemy", if he had the opportunity to escape, it would definitely lead to big trouble later.
But the Silver-Eyed One would definitely die today. Xia De recently liked to view a person's life as a "story". As a high-ring Shushi not from the Church or Academy, the Silver-Eyed One's magnificent life ended with being killed by the Chosen One in the ritual. Such a life story was really perfect.
The Silver-Eyed One curled up under the tree still wanted to speak, but the sound of the stone door being pushed made both of them look at the door.
The Silver-Eyed One stopped speaking, and the vines around him dimmed, making him hide in the darkness under the tree. Xia De looked at the candle in his hand, the candle lit up, and his figure disappeared in the room.
Soon, Miss Annette and a stranger in a black suit with a feminine temperament crashed open the stone door and broke in, and Miss Beiya, who was pale and had blood at the corner of her mouth, followed closely behind.
Miss Annette held the golden short sword that almost stabbed Xia De at the Sunday banquet, while the man held a blood-colored long sword.
The two slashed at each other and broke in. The ping-pong sound was like blacksmithing, but neither could really attack the opponent. The short sword and the blood-colored long sword collided in the air, leaving traces in the dimness.
Xia De, who was hiding on the side, looked at the female diviner with purple eyes slashing at the enemy in surprise, knowing for the first time that she was so proficient in cold weapon melee combat.
Finally, the man holding the blood-colored long sword took a step back first, and Miss Annette didn't pursue, also took a step back and was supported by Miss Beiya.
Both ladies seemed to be injured, and the three confronted each other.
The ghostly blue light illuminated them, and Xia De saw that the man was holding a long candle in his hand, which should be the 【Maze Candle】.
The man was not surprised by the giant tree, while Miss Annette and Miss Beiya looked at everything in the huge room in surprise.
"You actually don't need to fight me, this tree has already gone out of control. Did you see the Silver-Eyed One over there? It needs the flesh and blood of a Ringed Shushi to make this tree quiet again. Since you have two people, and I have already sacrificed one person, why don't you sacrifice one more..."
The tone of the man holding the blood-colored long sword was exceptionally elegant and calm. In such a dangerous environment, this calmness was really annoying. The long sword in his right hand emitted blood-colored fluorescence. But this should be some kind of oddity, not a Relic, because Xia De didn't feel the 【Whisper】 element.
"Damn vampire."
Miss Annette scolded very unladylike.
"Oh, Miss, you are being a bit racist."
The man in the stiff black suit shook his head and said, he gestured with the sword, walked two steps on the spot, and the leather shoes made a ding-ding-ding sound on the ground:
"I am a Fifth-Ring, you two added together are only Fifth-Ring. I admit, the Sunlight Spear just now did hurt me, but this doesn't mean you can beat me. I don't want to kill you, but it's just because the tree still needs sacrifices."
"You are injured, so you can't suppress me, you think I can't see it? Although you are a Fifth-Ring Shushi, how many rings of power can you exert now?"
Miss Beiya, who was supporting Miss Annette, also mocked. Even though she was injured, the young girl was still so strong:
"I can feel the Whisper element on you from two rooms away."
"You can see this too?"
The man asked in surprise, and then asked in that very elegant and magnetic voice:
"Are you a Ringed Shushi of the Sun Church? Oh, Miss, do you know the 【Blood Spirit School】? Someone with your talent, why not join us. The evolution of blood will help us transcend the mortal body. In the inevitable end day, only we can survive. The school has mastered the secrets of the gods, we know the things of the ancient times, and know the truth of the fall of the Old Gods. Even, we have discovered the wealth left by the ancient gods. Join us, sacrifice your companions, I can promise, you will be allowed to enter the 'Creation Maternity Ward' and obtain more powerful power."
"No need to use the disgusting talent of vampires to charm us."
Miss Beiya frowned and said.
Xia De on the side was even more surprised. The other party seemed to be really a "vampire", and "vampire" was not some kind of rhetorical device. If this was true, then this was the first alien species Xia De had seen in this world. He knew that in the past history of this world, there were many humanoid intelligent creatures, but they were very rare in this era.
"Tsk tsk, it's this kind of racism again. Actually, I prefer the term 'blood-sucking species'. You don't understand the 【Blood Spirit School】, you don't know what kind of power we master."
"45."
Miss Annette, who was panting heavily, suddenly said.
"What?"
The man asked suspiciously.
"46."
Miss Beiya also counted closely.
"What are you calculating? Or are you scaring me?"
He looked around vigilantly, but except for that giant tree, there was nothing here. He stared at the withered Silver-Eyed One under the tree, thinking it was him who was going to do something, but at this time, Miss Annette also counted to the last number, which represented the invisibility limit of the 【Bordeaux Candle】:
"47."
Dreamy brilliance appeared before his eyes, almost sticking to the feminine man's face. Xia De's figure appeared, and the arc-shaped light blade in his hand had already hit the man's face at the same time he appeared.
The brilliant brilliance was reflected in the man's yellow vertical pupils. Even though the pain erupted, he was still attracted by the color of the Silver Moon for a moment. The pupils changed slightly, and the racial talent made him feel unusual power in this moonlight.
