Chapter 2591

Even though the church's high-ring mages, who did not understand the "Speed Spell," reacted quickly, nearly half of the members fell toward the ground during that rapid figure's attack.

The well-prepared Miss Unicorn poked toward the front, and a grand, holy white stream of light left a clear white line over the city of Vista. Only a few citizens enjoying the lively festival in the city noticed this unusual scene, but then, as colorful fireworks were set off all over the city, they no longer cared about the light-shadow from just now.

That mysterious twelve-ring mage who appeared from behind the dragon-beast was extremely fast. Even the witch in unicorn form could not see the other's appearance clearly, only judging that the other was a female because the witch curse was not triggered.

She clearly dodged the unicorn's area-of-effect attack, but then ran head-on into the attacks of the remaining church ring-mages who had stayed in the air after the previous round of attacks.

Even if they did not understand the "Speed Spell," they relied on their rich combat experience to use area-of-effect miracle attacks to compress the opponent's range of movement.

As fireworks rose from the ground, the twelve-ring mage, looking slightly disheveled amidst the successive explosions in the air, finally triggered the city's defensive ritual above the city under the attack of the multi-person composite miracle. That dragon-beast could resist the ritual counterattack centered on the five churches, but she could not.

As a dense golden net flashed across the night sky, the twelve-ring female mage, bombarded by a massive amount of spirit, finally exited the accelerated state, allowing everyone to see her.

She looked to be in her forties, her naturally curly black long hair braided into thirteen strands, and at the end of each hanging strand was tied a metallic clock hand. And the most surprising thing about her appearance was that her left eye was not a human eye, but a glass bead with a clock dial embedded inside.

"Magic Eye?"

With such a peculiar appearance, the ring-mages on the church side immediately identified her identity:

"The President of the 【Tree Hole Society】, the twelve-ring 'Clockmaker'! How could you be in the Vista Diocese?"

The disheveled woman had no intention of answering at all. The roaring dragon-beast caught her as she fell, and so the miracles cast by the ring-mages in front of the life-rings in the air bombarded its spine together.

It was likely that because it had been heavily wounded by the unicorn just now, this time everyone's attacks were highly effective. But the miserable dragon roar was immediately drowned out by the sound of exploding fireworks, and because the city's defensive ritual existed to obscure the dragon's figure, the citizens on the ground still could not see this scene in the air.

"Has the Tree Hole Society been discovered by the church so easily?"

As Miss Unicorn was pondering in her heart, following a clear "click" of a clock hand turning, the dragon-beast's body in the gray mist flashed rapidly a few times as if it were a phantom about to disappear.

Strange light-shadows spread with the gray mist, and in those mists, three identical dragon-beasts appeared together in the air beneath the moon.

Flora Winslett was very certain that they were all physical entities rather than phantoms, and also very certain that these four monsters were actually the same one, because the unhealed wounds she had just inflicted on them were all identical.

The unicorn's golden eyes glowed slightly, but the detection miracle also showed that they were all real:

"Is it the time-clone mentioned by the Speaker?"

At this moment, there was no time for further thought; even one dragon-beast was incredibly troublesome, let alone the fact that the number of enemies had become four.

And so, the light of miracles bloomed densely again beneath the night sky. The dragon's breath and those lights intertwined into a mass, while the twelve-ring female mage hiding behind who-knows-which dragon-beast had not attacked again.

There were originally only two twelve-ring mages among the church ring-mages; even though one more had flown from the ground to join the battlefield at this moment, this battle remained incredibly difficult.

And even if Miss Winslett transformed into a unicorn, she could not play a decisive role in this battle.

The "Clockmaker" seemed determined to have those dragon-beasts destroy the golden music hall below, so even though her side held the advantage, she did not leave. And although the church and the unicorn combined could only barely sustain the battle, as more and more manpower gathered from the city, every breath of the dragon was blocked by defensive miracles, artifacts, or rituals.

And Miss Unicorn noticed that the dragon had not once breathed gray mist toward the golden music hall.

The intense battle did not last long, and the violent consumption had already made the cursed witch somewhat unable to cope. After spreading her wings once more to radiate pure white light from her horn, she accidentally discovered that tonight's moon seemed exceptionally close to the ground.

She recalled carefully; it seemed the moon was not like this when she had just left the golden music hall.

In these few short minutes that no one noticed, the three full moons had already approached the ground so closely that everything in the air was so bright. The illuminated crowd was still entangled in the fight, and as the unicorn was the first to discover this anomaly, the crowd fighting fiercely in the air also noticed the strangeness one after another.

Those three full moons not only approached the ground, they were even so perfect that they did not seem like real moons. Flawless and bright, pure and magnificent, under the three-colored moonlight, even the gray mist on those four dragon-beasts was being weakened.

The city's music was so clear at this moment; not only the music in the golden music hall, but the music played by the entire city to celebrate the "Moon Dance Festival" had merged into one at this moment, forming a grand movement that could not be described in words.

The music rose and fell with the flickering of the sea of stars, but before people could figure out the source of the moon's anomaly, a "hum" sound like a flute came from afar. When Sister Daelin swung the scythe in her hand, people only then realized in hindsight that it was the sound of rapid flight.

The figure of Sister Daelin, wearing a gray-black robe, was not conspicuous at all in the night sky, but when that dark golden scythe swung down, accompanied by the dragon-beast's head falling from its body, everyone's gaze was attracted.

But it did not die; the fallen head grew back rapidly, and the unicorn then reminded loudly:

"These four dragons are the same entity's body at different time periods. We must destroy all four of them at the same time, otherwise, time stability guarantees that none of them will die!"

The dark golden light symbolizing the ancient death god scattered into the night sky, and three identical sisters who walked out from behind the sister flew toward the remaining three giant dragons respectively.

The scythe slashed down, and all four dragon-beasts, for which the crowd had no countermeasure just now, were all decapitated just like that. The gray mist of chaotic time could not block the fall of the scythe transformed from the life-ring, because it represented the death that was destined to come—the Death of Destiny.

But the battle did not end because of this. The falling dragon-beast corpses turned into white ash and disappeared in the night sky, while the "Clockmaker" of the 【Tree Hole Society】, with a twelve-ring life-ring floating behind her, rose into the air. Before Sister Daelin, who was floating in front of that clear yellow moon, could swing her scythe at her, the woman in the "Speed Spell" state waved her hand and threw something out.

With a clear "crack" sound of shattering, the night sky behind her shattered like glass into a large hole, and then a monster identical to the dragon-beast from just now squeezed out of the shattered "glass" by force.

It was colorless when it first appeared, and only regained its original color when its entire body arrived here. This scene was very familiar to Sister Daelin, who had participated in the Battle of Moon Bay:

"A monster that traveled through time. Its main body is not in our time; this is also a time-clone."

The sister did not speak, but her voice appeared clearly in everyone's ears.

At this time, the three moons, which were getting closer and closer to the ground, seemed within reach for everyone in the air. The unicorn was once again attracted by this magnificent scenery in the night sky, so much so that when the battle broke out again, she was accidentally hit by a beam of light breathed out by the giant dragon, and then fell toward the golden music hall below.

But this was just a small matter; she had originally added multiple defensive miracles to herself, and the unicorn originally had amazing resistance, so it only intensified the consumption of spirit.

And so in the air, the unicorn turned into a round-faced owl with a "poof" sound to prevent her body from piercing the dome of the music hall below. But she did not make a hard landing, because the red-haired girl flying in the air reached out and hugged the somewhat dizzy owl as if catching a ball.

The latter discovered that the person hugging her was Miss Danister, so she did not struggle. She was about to ask her how she came out, and then discovered that Xia De was already standing on the top of the clock tower of the music hall's side tower, not far below the two.

The magnificent building did not reflect him in gold, because his entire body was shrouded in that pure silver flame.

The flames were not violent at all, but the vast miracle elements contained within them made even the witch who noticed him feel suffocated, and those gentle and pure moonlights seemed to drape a silver robe over him at this moment, or as if silver long hair was drifting behind him.

His eyes had all turned into pure silver color at this moment. If Xia De looked in the mirror at this time, he would find that the state of his eyes was very similar to the Little Mia who had appeared in the memories of "past lives" (Chapter 1155).

And the outsider who had just witnessed the lady on the moon at the end of the long ladder extending from the silver fire of the sacrificial site in his dream had only been awakened by Miss Danister, left their phantoms, and pulled her hand to jump out of the music hall directly.

Although the ancient Moon Dance Festival tradition was already very different from the sacrifice of the first era, this was indeed a sacrifice to the ancient moon god that had lasted for tens of thousands of years but still existed.

The arrival of the outsider gave meaning to this Moon Dance Festival sacrifice that had originally lost its meaning. Although the outsider himself did not know whether the dream was just touching the power of the Moon Sage in the dream, or if it really allowed him to see the ritual of the first era, that back figure located above the moon was so real.

So much so that when he woke up from the dream, the anger of not being able to see her front and not being able to hold her hand still filled his heart.
