Chapter 2794: The Attacked Elf

~10 min read 1,901 words

"Then is the other party related to the Chosen One ritual? Or is it that although the other party planned most of the conspiracies here, we can actually ignore it, and it's just an optional enemy?"

Xia De asked again, so Luvia threw the coin again. The moment the coin cracked at its highest point, Luvia suddenly opened her eyes, and then sprayed a mouthful of blood onto Xia De's face across the table.

Xia De stood up in horror, wanting to support her, but Luvia supported the table herself and did not fall:

"It's okay. I am now an Eighth Ring like you; I am not a weak girl."

But looking at her pale face, it didn't look like she was okay at all.

Xia De didn't immediately ask about the result of her divination just now, but helped her to lie down in the room, and then got up to find Tifa to bring some mental recovery potions and tea.

When he and the maid returned, they happened to run into Dorothea, so before they even entered the room, Luvia heard Dorothea scolding Xia De. However, the writer did not follow in, probably for fear of affecting Luvia's rest.

Luvia lay on the bed wanting to laugh, but in order to make Xia De care about her more, she suppressed her laughter and waited for Xia De to return.

So after another busy while, Luvia took the potion and drank the hot tea that stabilized her mind. After Tifa left with the tea tray, Luvia leaned against the bedside table and said to Xia De:

"The remains of the World Tree have a major connection with the ritual of the Time Chosen One. There is even reason to believe that the remains need to participate directly in the Chosen One ritual."

"The final ritual shouldn't be defeating it to complete the finishing work for the Tree Father when he leaves, right?"

"I don't know, but I feel that the Tree Father shouldn't set such a test."

She pursed her lips and shook her head:

"In any case, before and after Emilia returns from past time, you need to lead the witches to figure out what the remaining three chairs correspond to. Just kill the target if you have a suspect. If something like a branch can drop, it means the guess is correct; if it's wrong, then go hunt the next one."

When she said this, she vaguely had some of the "style" of the long-haired Luvia:

"Also, don't forget to tell Emilia stories. This is very important and relates to the continuity of time."

"I know, I know."

Xia De wanted to help her lie down, but Luvia struggled and wanted to use the last 【Pure Light】 coin for divination.

"No need. Keep this coin. If the problem with Angelina is difficult to solve in the end, we will still need this coin to help her."

"I really don't know if you are feeling sorry for her or for me."

The purple-eyed girl then obediently lay down, and Xia De tucked her in:

"Your complexion is still very bad. Take an afternoon nap. Anyway, there is nothing else to do today, and I will come to call you at dinner time."

"Wait a minute!"

Luvia called him again:

"Can you kiss me?"

Xia De then lowered his head with a smile:

"Of course."

Although Xia De said there would be nothing to do this afternoon, there was actually something to do.

Emilia was taken by him to a hotel in the city. She would live here for a few days to adapt to the environment of Vesta City in advance, and Vanessa, who also lived here, would ensure her safety.

Taking advantage of Vanessa taking Emilia for a tour in the city, Xia De returned to Ms. Dannister's room on the third floor of the hotel.

The red-haired girl and Flora were both there, and the arrival of the witches also eased their work. Seeing Xia De sit down directly, ask Ms. Bell for a cup of tea, and then sit still, Flora was very surprised:

"I thought that after Galina and the others arrived, you wouldn't have time to see us. At lunch, I told Dannister that we would probably be lonely for a long time."

The librarian girl rolled her eyes at her, but did not refute.

"Whether Galina and the others come or not has nothing to do with whether I come."

Xia De leaned against the soft sofa back, looking sideways at the sky in Vesta City on a late autumn afternoon outside the window:

"This time Galina can only leave Tobesk for half a month, and Xivi's shipping business doesn't allow her to leave it unattended for a long time. The final battle here won't be too far away. I have a feeling that this time... it will go smoothly, it will definitely go smoothly."

Ms. Bell prepared afternoon tea and snacks for them, and both ladies were happy that Xia De was still sitting with them as before.

It was just that at three o'clock in the afternoon, first a girl from the Middle Ring who went out with Vanessa sent news that Emilia had been attacked in the city. Then, before Xia De could rush out with his sword, a thunderbolt flashed across the sky in the west of the city on a sunny day, and then everyone saw ripples appearing on the surface of the black tea in the teacup on the coffee table.

"It's Vanessa casting a spell. I can sense her location. Follow me."

Flora jumped up and turned into an owl, flying onto Xia De's shoulder, and then grabbed the silver cat and flew into the sky.

The owl's speed was extremely fast this time, but in just two or three minutes, it crossed most of the city and came to the sky above the old city area in the northeast of Vesta City.

The small earthquake just now made the citizens rush out of their houses and stand on the street to communicate with each other; the local area was not a frequent earthquake zone. And the owl in the air did not land, because the battle location was no longer here.

Looking towards the north, the twisting air indicated that someone was using large-scale illusions in the forest. But Xia De still saw that under the cover of the illusion, a stone giant the size of a mountain was swinging its fist at a sesame-sized person in the air, but the stone giant turned into white ash and disappeared in just two breaths, starting from its fist.

Light and shadow flickered in front of him. With the tearing and roaring of the earth, the stone giant bathed in magma and the stone giant with trees planted all over its body climbed up from the ground again.

The wind of time blew towards them again, but the stone giant with trees all over its body blocked forward, and the trees on its body immediately became more lush and thick, and even the giant itself became taller.

Time gave the trees stronger power, and the earth carrying the trees also became harder and stronger. After the two stone giants jumped up together and smashed into the ground, it caused the people in the city to feel the ground shaking like an earthquake again.

But Vanessa, who seemed to have snatched the dominance of this battle, did not feel relaxed because of this. She turned back to confirm that her followers were surrounding Emilia, and then looked back at the "Clockmaker" who could still rely on the power of time to constantly recover and even rot the stones under the siege of the two stone giants.

The witch took a deep breath and bent down, reaching her hand towards the ground. When she straightened her waist again, the stage curtain around her had already been pulled open.

Shining moonlight and starlight gathered on her. The low-key gray dress she wore when she went out was replaced by a bright red long dress. With her golden long hair draped behind her and wearing silver-white patent leather high heels, Vanessa Benanice was the only protagonist on this stage.

With the trembling of the earth, the stage rose from under her feet. Red silk fell from the void high above, golden pillars rose from the back of the stage one by one, and water from an unknown source fell from the golden wall behind, forming a waterfall-like scene under the starry sky.

Golden ornaments reflecting the moonlight decorated the stage, and cheers and jumping sounds came from around. The noble and elegant lady raised her right hand high, but her fingers drooped slightly, letting the moonlight ring she wore at some point overlap with the silver moon that appeared in the clear sky at the highest point.

So she pulled a silver long sword from the starlight and moonlight. When the sword was swung forward, it seemed as if the whole world was lending her power to complete this strike that could split the world:

"Mystic Lock: Golden Stage of Singing Glory."

The opening of the Mystic Lock had completely encompassed Vanessa and the "Clockmaker", and the two disappeared into the forest that was still scattering smoke and dust, while the two huge stone giants stood in front of and behind Emilia.

Suddenly, the sound of whistling wind came from the forest. Then, the witch followers protecting Emilia first blocked the wind blades, and then saw a large number of 【Tree Hole Society】 ring warlocks coming from the forest.

This well-prepared attack seemed to have mobilized most of the elites of the 【Tree Hole Society】. A group of people who had opened the 【Rapid Magic】 state arrived at the feet of the stone giants in almost the blink of an eye.

And although the summoner was briefly absent, the stone giants actually leaned over and hammered the ground, and then used their own bodies to cast a rock barrier around the group of girls.

Under the command of Ms. Rebecca Helly, a Tenth Ring witch follower, the girls climbed onto the rock barrier to resist the strong enemy. Because the 【Rapid Magic】 state made it almost impossible to cast spells, only a small number of people could fly, and most of them were blocked by the towering "rolling hills".

This greatly reduced the difficulty of defense. Coupled with Vanessa's advancement, the girls who shared the witch's power from her also became stronger to varying degrees. Most of the girls here were familiar with the power of "gravity", and the "Gravity Field", a standard witch secret technique, acted on the area.

And it was clear that even if they flew up in the "Rapid Magic" state, they were still restrained by the area effect and gravity.

As for Emilia, who was surrounded and protected by everyone, she recalled the content she learned during the "training" at the academy last week, muttering to herself to summon tree people on those stone giants, while her left hand held her slender right arm.

The cold wind blew past, making the tips of her tied-up golden long hair sway gently. At that moment, Emilia was thinking about why the wind this afternoon was so cold, and then she realized the fatal crisis. ===== CHAPTER 2795 =====
