Chapter 2758: Giant Wolf Under the Moon

~11 min read 2,100 words

The heavy snow in the night sky stopped at some point, and the cold wind no longer ran through the forest. The flames dyed a large part of the night sky red, and even the light of the stars and the moon was being obscured.

Xia De, who was bound by two fire-red chains, gradually shrank back to his normal state, but in the successive attacks, the demon did not feel his aura become weak; instead, it felt that he was actually absorbing the power of the flames.

So after the last *Booming* explosion, the attack temporarily ended, and the giant humanoid flames pulling the chains also saw Xia De's state in the air at this time.

The power of the Witch Empress had disappeared at this time. Xia De, who had opened his arms because of the chain binding, was now covered in burn marks. But that was definitely not caused by the demon's attack, because crimson cracks ran through his right eye, and even sparks were drifting in the night at his hair tips and hem.

That was also the power of flames, but it was a flame older than the demon of fire disaster.

"You can absorb flames and convert them into spirit... the power of the Primordial Flame!? The Hero of Cinder? There is actually such a thing?"

Xia De didn't care what the demon was astonished about. Having absorbed some flames and converted them into spirit to temporarily restore his state, he turned into a Moonlight Dragon under the moon with a dragon roar. But the consumption just now was too great after all, and he only temporarily broke free from the chains through the transformation of his form, and then fell to the ground.

Two humanoid flames immediately reached out to grab him, but Xia De easily dodged the flame palms.

So George Conde maintained the flame form, and Lady Shatala walked out of the flames again. She dragged a flame tail and slammed into Xia De's position after he landed, and then saw Xia De suddenly raise his head and look at her:

"Adele's Time Stop!"

A clear *Click* of a clock hand turning sounded in the forest, and Lady Shatala froze in the air. Immediately, with a *Swish*, a black chain broke through the air, firmly entangling the woman's body and locking her up completely.

The chains of the eight Sin Runes were enough to completely control this split body of the ancient evil spirit, and it was also because of this spell and time stop that Xia De had the confidence to confront George Conde tonight, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

"The power of the Sin! No, this is not right, who exactly are you? You are not a Witcher, who are you?"

A giant fist of flames slammed down toward Xia De's position. Xia De held the 【Sin Chain】 with his left hand, only using a portion of his spirit to forcibly activate the "Body of Courage," letting his enlarged right arm collide upward with the demon.

The demon, not expecting him to be able to counterattack, took a step back, and then the frost greatsword slashed over from the smoke in front of it, but this time it was grabbed by it:

"Without the power of that Witch Empress, what else can you use to fight me? Even if you have the power of the First Flame, even if you have the power of time, even if even the Sin..."

Black smoke immediately emerged from the flame humanoid's hands, but the demon still endured the excruciating pain of injuring its soul, and with a fierce squeeze, it crushed the blade of the frost greatsword. Immediately, its body also shrank to the size of a normal person to concentrate its full strength, finally melting the ice and letting its hands directly touch the 【Blade of No Edge】.

The demon's essence was thus directly injured, but it still took this opportunity to pull hard, directly snatching the scabbard, and then threw it backward, letting the black scabbard disappear into the dense forest:

"Now you don't even have a weapon..."

He heard the sound of wind in his ears. It opened its flame right hand and summoned a shield, wanting to block, but the silver-glinting long sword easily pierced through its shield like popping a bubble. The rune 【My Heart is Clear, Sword Slashes Demons】 glowed slightly, and the bright silver blade directly pierced into its left chest.

"Night Watcher!"

The demon, opening its arms, did not hesitate to expand and explode on the spot. The rising mushroom cloud rushed straight to the starry sky, and the sweeping air wave expanded the area of the clearing by a full ten times. The vibration of the ground felt like an earthquake happening directly under his feet, and Xia De, who was close at hand, did not dare to take it head-on even with his amazing flame resistance.

He pinched a spell with one hand to summon the ink-colored shield again, and at the same time did not forget to reactivate the shield given by the doctor.

But soon he felt a lightness in his hand; Lady Shatala, who was bound at the other end of the 【Sin Chain】, had broken free. Immediately, a giant hand shattered the doctor's shield and then pierced through the 【Nightfall Seal】 to grab Xia De.

Xia De wanted to swing his long sword, but it grabbed Xia De and placed him in front of its head, and two streams of flames sprayed toward Xia De's body at the same time. Immediately, it raised Xia De high above its head, squeezed him hard, and then threw him toward the ground.

When the dust settled, Xia De, who was climbing up from the ground while spitting blood, saw a floating humanoid flame with two heads clutching its chest, slowly healing itself. The blow from 【Night Watcher】 had caused the greatest damage since the beginning of this battle.

And looking at its appearance, George Conde and Lady Shatala, seeing that a single split body could not deal with Xia De, chose to fuse back into one, but because of some reason, the re-fusion was not smooth, which was why it had become the two-headed appearance now.

And Xia De, who was also not lightly injured, propped himself up on the ground. While the other party was healing, he also took out the small bottle of essence, drank a large mouthful, and then saw that his current position was just below that archway:

"Do you know? Actually, during the battle just now, I had been thinking about how to come to this position without being discovered by you."

The demon's two heads raised to look at him, and the intertwined echoes laughed in the surrounding sea of fire and asked:

"You think you can shatter this archway?"

And then it saw Xia De holding the staff with both hands, stabbing it fiercely into the ground beneath his feet:

"Fortunately, that god taught me the ability to unlock—Key of the Door!"

The power required to open the door was far less than Xia De had imagined. He felt as if he were turning the key to his own front door, and then clear shattering sounds appeared in all directions, and the clear divine spell runes on the burning archway emerged because they sensed the power of the same origin.

The sealed space was opened again. This not only meant that the traces of this great battle were exposed to the outside world, but also meant that people outside could finally arrive.

There was no need for any extra waiting. The moment the space seal disappeared, dazzling sunlight appeared directly in the night sky.

A *Booming* thunder sounded, as if someone was roaring in the sky. At that moment, the sun spear that streaked across the starry sky seemed to be able to illuminate this long night, dispelling all darkness and loneliness.

The brilliant golden lightning pierced directly through the chest of the two-headed flame demon and nailed it to the ground. Immediately, streaks of golden electric light jumped and splashed on the ground, and Iluna also stood up amidst the flashing golden electric light.

Xia De had seen this scene in the past memories of Lady Lemay (Chapter 1786).

It was just that in the scene in the memory, Iluna was over twenty years old, her childishness had completely faded, her sharp temperament and undisguised powerful strength made her look exceptionally cold and ruthless, and she had her hair loose, looking very frightening; while Iluna at this time... was still in a state of anger, but at least Xia De knew she was angry because someone had hurt him.

With a wave of her hand, 【Night Watcher】, which had just fallen from Xia De's hand, had already arrived in Iluna's hand.

She raised her sword, and streaks of thunder and lightning exploded above the Vista Forest. Immediately, the dark golden balance flew into the high sky, and the light shrouded everything in this area at this moment, even causing Flora, who arrived a little later, and the Church's ring warlocks dealing with the burning trees in various parts of the forest to look up.

The strong wind stirred her brown long hair to dance behind her. After a sudden jump, 【Night Watcher】 was wrapped in golden light, and then the "Sun Greatsword" slashed down on the earth, leaving long-lasting afterimages in the air like golden ink marks.

"Roar!"

The two-headed flame demon couldn't even dodge the lock of this sword under the power of the Chosen One. It opened its arms to let its body expand constantly, and four arms tried to embrace the golden sword mark at the same time.

Amidst the *Booming* sound, the shattered flames rushed to various parts of the forest. In the smoke, at the cost of the disappearance of two arms and heavy injuries, it still blocked this angry blow from Iluna.

Iluna in the air was falling, and the demon's injuries and strength were slowly recovering because of the large-scale burning of the surrounding forest.

At this time, Xia De also used the 【Staff of Yggdrasil】 to support his body, wanting to turn into a Moonlight Dragon to support Iluna. Two against two was the fairest.

But "she" reminded him with a smile at this time:

【Or, try another method?】

"Is there any other method? Iluna only has 'Earth Power · Earth Energy Cannon' suitable for dealing with such giant enemies, I must... you mean..."

Even though the two-headed demon was injured, it did not let its body shrink. On the contrary, while gathering flames to heal itself, it further enlarged its body, obviously no longer caring whether it would attract more people's attention.

Gradually, the forest was already beneath its feet. Two burning heads opened at the same time, and their mouths were about to spray flames at Iluna in the air. But before the flames left their mouths, from the forest between the demon's feet, a figure emitting silver light suddenly grew larger like a silver whirlwind, and then slammed the demon to the ground.

The huge body size caused it to look like slow motion even when it fell to the ground. In another loud noise caused by the giant object falling to the ground, the burning demon ignited a larger area of the forest, and under the night sky dyed red, Iluna felt that she had been caught by something furry. She rolled and borrowed force, looked down, and because of the limitation of her vision, she could only see silver hair, but could not discover what the giant object was at the first time.

But from the perspective of Flora and the five high-ring witch followers in the forest, the giant wolf with silver hair shining was carrying Iluna and confronting the two-headed demon at this moment.

Its silver hair shone with a cold luster under the moonlight, as if draped in a thin layer of frost. The wolf's eyes were like two huge silver gems, its figure like a towering mountain, its limbs strong and powerful, and its hair surging like sea waves in the night wind.

The surrounding trees looked incomparably small, and even the burning forest was like a large patch of burning grass under its feet.

The moonlight spilled through the sparse clouds, outlining its awe-inspiring silhouette and near-perfect figure, and when it rushed forward again, its entire body seemed to have turned into silver light and shadow. ===== CHAPTER 2759 =====
