Chapter 275

He leaped into the air.

The huge silver moon hung high in the sea of stars, the god held His arms out level, His body inverted before the silver moon:

"In the name of the Ancient God of Equilibrium, Lord of the Blood Banquet, I shall grant you judgment."

The dark golden luster of the scale further suppressed the blood-colored halo, and the playing card in His hand flew out from between His fingers, pressing tightly against the god's heart.

In a trance, the brown-haired girl actually saw a transparent woman's body with silver hair half-overlapping with the god's body, inverted before the silver moon.

The night wind whistled, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. The radiance of the silver moon reached its extreme, and the god's body seemed as if it were about to melt completely into this moon.

But it did not.

The inverted god's body fell, 【Creation · Silver Moon】 accepted the baptism of divinity, and the radiance of the silver moon gathered on the left foot.

The left foot slid forward, driving the right foot to follow downward. The two feet in the air, under the moonlit night, above Tobeisike, drew brilliant and gorgeous silver light marks.

Those dazzling light marks mixed with dark gold detached from the trajectory of the feet and gradually grew larger in the night sky.

Breaking through the night sky, cleaving this tranquil summer night, under the stars, the slash of silver moonlight fell like a descending white silk toward the banquet long table in the air, toward the huge flesh mass at the other end of the banquet long table.

The huge moon mark, half a city long, finally collided with the blood-colored flesh mass, and the blood-colored light dissipated completely, taking away the three eyeballs on the dark golden scale.

The 【Lord of the Blood Banquet】 had lost.

The blood mist dissipated from the entire city, and the huge mental pressure disappeared completely from the sky above Tobeisike.

The banquet long table disappeared, and the mortals with their eyes tightly shut fell toward the city below. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na maintained her falling posture, still lifting her head to look at the god in white robes who had disappeared before the silver moon.

"Do you want to fall to your death?"

She heard a familiar voice, and she saw the white-robed saint holding her as they fell. His power was dissipating rapidly, and she could already barely look directly at His face.

"Xia De..."

Xia De was smiling:

"It's me. It just so happens that I have some power left, and I want to give you a gift. You really worked hard tonight."

The little remaining divine power gathered at His fingertips. He tapped her left eye patch with His finger, and then His body completely disintegrated into silver points of light and disappeared. The points of light were like silver falling rain, sprinkling toward the city, dispersing the influence caused by the arrival of the evil god.

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na covered her mouth, not letting herself cry out. A few seconds later, the brown-haired girl falling in the light rain was caught by Miss Ge Lin, who had not seen anything just now, and the two descended slowly toward the ground.

"Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, are you alright?"

The female sorcerer's state was not very good either, but at least bringing Yin Yi Yi Lu Na to the ground was no problem.

"Tonight's events were really..."

The two stood on the street, looking at the night sky where the blood mist had retreated. Everything had dissipated, and after all this ended, a brilliant galaxy hung inverted above Tobeisike; this was a sight that had not been seen for many years since the rise of steam industry.

The other ring sorcerers of the church also descended one by one. They scattered on the street, bathing in the starlight. No one spoke, but together they looked at the silver moon in the night sky, and the other two moons that had temporarily disappeared for some unknown reason just now.

The silver moon returned to its normal size, shining harmoniously here with the sea of stars and the other two moons.

"We'll talk about the Chosen One later. Tonight... the masked man under the silver moon can be called a 'God-Caller.' Mortals cannot contain the power of gods, and after the god departs, they will likely depart as well. Only a thirteen-ring sorcerer as a divine descent vessel can barely survive, but it is estimated that he won't be able to appear again for decades."

She sighed:

"However, the god just now was undoubtedly a benevolent god. Besides the true gods, are there other benevolent gods in this era... Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, I've been curious since just now, why are you wearing an eye patch?"

Miss Ge Lin said strangely. The brown-haired girl thought of Xia De, who had dissipated into the night sky, suppressed the urge to cry, and took off the eye patch.

The eyeball of the left eye was intact, and under the moonlit night, it was unusually bright.

(Little Mia is running...)

In the dim No. 6 Saint-Dela Square, specks of silver moonlight gathered in the second-floor living room, and then Xia De fell heavily from the air onto the floor.

He lay there face up, motionless. Overhead, two 【Great Expansion】 cards fell like feathers, swaying, and finally overlapped and landed beside his hand.

Even though Xia De had obtained another drop of divinity from the 【Lord of the Blood Banquet】 using the relic 【Another Face】, the power overflowing from the divinity still could not immediately compensate for the damage his body had suffered from bearing the divine power.

Golden light marks floated on Xia De's body surface, unable to heal him completely. Miss Feilian was right; even if his soul could contain and use the power of divinity, his body was, after all, only a mortal shell.

Although it could not heal Xia De, a wisp of golden light took the initiative to dart into the cat-shaped cloth doll hanging at his waist.

"Meow~"

In the brilliant golden light, the orange cat walked out with elegant steps. In its amber eyes, there seemed to be golden luster floating.

"Meow?"

It looked left and right, a bit confused, and only relaxed after confirming that this was home.

But seeing Xia De lying there motionless, it walked up worriedly, calling out, and rubbed its soft face against Xia De's head:

"Oh~"

Xia De groaned in a hoarse, low voice, but his eyes did not open, and he still could not move. He had never felt that he was so fragile, and that death was so close. His consciousness had completely fallen into chaos, and at this moment, he was merely making sounds by instinct.

"Meow~"

Mia let out a mournful cry, looked toward the dim house, and finally whimpered and lay down beside Xia De's head, rubbing his face from time to time.

An hour later, the carriage that had rushed over stopped downstairs at No. 6 Saint-Dela Square. After finishing all the matters in the church and confirming that she had not been followed, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, who had finally managed to run out, tightened the reins and stopped the carriage.

Bang, bang, bang~

Her brown hair was draped behind her back. She knocked anxiously on the door downstairs in the long night, but there was no response for a long time, so she had to use a small trick to pick the lock and forced her way in.

Seeing that there was no light in the house, her heart sank. She stepped up the stairs, and her footsteps became even more hesitant when she reached the second floor. Seeing that there were still no lights in the house, she bit her lower lip, her face pale and her expression sorrowful.

Her trembling hand pushed open the door, and she was met with the sight of Xia De, pale-faced, lying face up in the darkness of the living room. Mia immediately got up and made a threatening sound toward the doorway; it was truly angry, trying to protect the fragile Xia De.

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na found the switch for the gas lamp on the wall, turned on the light, and knelt beside Xia De.

"It's me."

She endured the grief and said to the angry orange cat. Her trembling hand tested Xia De's breath, and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na Beiya lifted her head, closed her eyes, and looked up at the ceiling, exhaling a breath tremblingly only after a long while.

She took an exquisite little crystal bottle from her pocket and plucked out the angel-shaped stopper. Even Mia, who was still "protecting" Xia De, suddenly lifted its head to look at the liquid.

"No. 1 Holy Water Essence. I pretended to be seriously injured, and the church gave it to me for healing; they didn't expect that he had already helped me..."

She shook her head halfway through her sentence, also thinking that talking to a cat was a very silly act.
