Chapter 2914: [Tear of the Parting One]

Blood dripped into the ink, and the brush wrote the Outsider's real name in square characters on the paper. The familiar name illuminated by the canopy above Xia De's head made Xia De freeze for a second. Only then did he realize that this was the first time since coming to this world that he had written this name with this body.

He shook his head to cheer himself up, then folded the paper with the name written on it into the shape of a star, pressed it against his forehead, and finally burned it into ashes, dissolving the ashes into the potion and drinking it. He closed his eyes and meditated on his own appearance in his mind. Probably because he had already performed it once, this ceremony went even more smoothly than the last time.

Almost in the next second after Xia De closed his eyes, "She" gently gave a reminder:

【Outsider, your spell "Treasured Object" has added a second name that can take effect.】

There was no other effect besides this, but Xia De didn't explore it immediately. He took out his Luo De Pai set again and drew the ordinary card "Moon 2" from the top.

First, he wiped off the name written shallowly on it, and then wrote his real name from his hometown on it. Finally, he wrote the information he wanted to convey in the blank area of the card. Fortunately, the ordinary paper card didn't have a fancy card face, and the blank area of the card face was very large, so it could be written down.

After doing these things and feeling it carefully, it seemed that there was no big difference in the control effect on the items after signing two different names.

Xia De kissed the paper card, then raised his hand and threw it towards the door of the building. The rotating paper card flew straight out, and Xia De closed his eyes to control its flight trajectory. When he opened his eyes, he was very sure that the paper card had reached its destination.

"That's it."

So he continued to hold the "trunk" and looked at the glowing rift in front of him again. He felt that something was watching him from behind the rift. This sense of being watched was very slight, but it was definitely not an illusion.

The reaction speed of the Church and the Academy was very fast. Ten minutes after Xia De sent the information with the paper card, he heard heavy footsteps. He thought someone was coming, but when he turned to look, what he saw was a suit of armor with extremely complex golden ritual patterns branded on its surface walking in.

Xia De had never seen such a complex divine spell branding, and the complexity of this ritual even exceeded the ritual used by the Dawn Church to balance time stability. But even so, the armor was still scattering particles while walking.

It only took two steps in the dark building before it clattered and fell to the ground, and soon the whole body of metal quickly corroded into a pile of unrecognizable things.

Xia De, holding the staff, waved his left hand, and the paper card he just sent flew out from the metal rust remains immediately. It was just that even with Xia De's signature, this paper card had now turned yellow and became unusable.

The pencil marks Xia De wrote just now had been wiped off, and now it was Fan Ni Sha's handwriting with new content:

【I have received your report, and the Church is preparing to dispatch unknowable relics for assistance. The relics are expected to arrive in two hours, and the Church and the Academy are also looking for ways to communicate with you at any time.】

Behind it was the small contact mark he had discussed with her when he left the camp—an owl, to prove that these words were indeed written by Fan Ni Sha.

"Two hours?"

He wrote the text on the yellowed paper card again and sent it out, then predicted that he would probably miss dinner time.

Xia De thought he had gradually adapted to the doomsday environment, and with the protection of the spell effect, he should be able to persist for a long time in front of this rift, but the fact was that as time passed, the discomfort was becoming stronger and stronger.

The environment in front of the rift was certainly not comparable to the real doomsday, but even without the sky-filling wind and sand, the power leaked from the rift was genuine from the end of the world.

The flow of spirit in the soul gradually became viscous, and the dizziness even directly affected the stability of the spell. But fortunately, 【Yggdrasil's Staff】 was worthy of being an angel-level relic. Amidst the dizziness and nausea, Xia De even missed the real past-life doomsday. After all, no matter how bad his state was there, there would always be that blonde lady waiting for him.

【Adele Yi Sha Bei La will arrive tomorrow, and there is actually someone waiting for you here.】

"She" said with a smile, so Xia De complained a little:

"Don't make fun of me at a time like this."

A clear sound of crack~ came, and he saw that the originally very thin rift extended upward for about half a palm length again. So the unique feeling of doomsday became clearer and more obvious, and even the phantom of the lush big tree that appeared because of the spell effect shook a few times. Xia De clearly felt that something was wrong with the situation:

"How did the Witch Emperors of that year face this rift? Was the gap of that year much shorter than this?"

【Perhaps, you can find something to temporarily block the rift.】

"She" continued to give suggestions.

"But what to block it with? Any material before doomsday will be destroyed in the face of doomsday power, unless I go home and dismantle a few wall bricks that can carry to the doomsday era... wait, besides the wall bricks and floor tiles of Saint Deran Square,

Xia De's left hand reached into his pocket again, and this time he still pulled out a deck of cards. Only this time, they were not Luo De cards, but 【Calamity Cards】. Although he hadn't obtained any new cards during the recent doomsday journey, his previous six adventures had already yielded a harvest of six cards.

The essence of these cards was actually terrifying evil objects from the doomsday era that had been sealed; it was only because of the effect of the 【Staff of Yggdrasil】 and the power of the Tree Father that they had transformed into the appearance of cards after being defeated by Xia De.

Therefore, they would absolutely not be affected by the power of the doomsday, because they belonged to the doomsday in the first place. Xia De hadn't had any issues holding them even in the true doomsday, let alone now, when it was just a small amount of power.

Of course, to prevent other accidents, such as the cards falling to the other side of the rift or the evil objects inside the cards being directly released, Xia De signed his name and felt them for a moment before letting the six cards fly from his hand and "stick" to that thin, elongated rift.

Although they were not enough to completely "block" the rift, after the dim yellow light on the other side of the rift dimmed, Xia De still felt that his condition had immediately improved quite a bit:

"So, is the meaning of the Black Time Key to collect as many monsters from the doomsday as possible, and then let these controllable card-based evil objects serve as stumbling blocks to plug those passages between the mundane world and the doomsday?"

He even had the presence of mind to ponder this matter.

The note sent by Vanessa said that the church needed two hours to send the strictly contained relic from the Holy See. But in reality, Xia De only waited for an hour and a half before that yellowed, damaged Luo De card was delivered by a new suit of armor. This time, the content on it was simple:

【The relic is in position. Currently, only Yin Yi Yi Lu Na Beiya can approach your location. Please reply with your current status. If your status permits, the church will begin transporting the relic five minutes after receiving your reply.】

Thus, the card flew out again, and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na walked the distance from the camp at the canyon entrance to this black stone building, taking a full twenty minutes.

When Xia De saw the eighteen-year-old girl, she was clutching her scales in one hand and a wooden box in the other, struggling to walk out from the darkness at the building's entrance.

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's face was pale, and her condition was visibly quite poor. But she looked up at Xia De and still gritted her teeth, continuing to move forward step by step. The flowing light overflowing from the dark golden scales almost formed a transparent protective shell around her body.

Xia De could not leave the rift in front of the high platform to greet her and could only watch her slowly approach. And when Yin Yi Yi Lu Na finally walked under the illusory tree shadow shaped by the "Stability Principle of Ancient Elves," because the pressure suddenly eased, she almost collapsed into Xia De's arms:

"Sorry, I'm late."

The two did not exchange many pleasantries; Yin Yi Yi Lu Na sat directly at Xia De's feet to rest, disregarding her image, and the box in her hand was shoved to Xia De:

"Try using this. This is also the first time I've known about this relic; it is a containment object of the Peace Church. The Unknown-level relic 【Tear of the Parting】, specifically used to bridge those things that have split open. Legend says this is a tear shed by a god, but I didn't see more information because it wasn't necessary.

When I obtained it, I was only warned that it must absolutely never enter my own eyes. The method of use is to splash it directly onto the things that have cracked or split."

She said in a weak tone, and after finishing, she even leaned directly against Xia De's leg, lacking even the strength to sit upright.

Although Xia De was worried about Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's situation, he knew at this moment that controlling the rift first was the most important thing:

"What if this doesn't work either? If an Unknown-level relic could close this rift, there's no reason the Witch Emperor of the Fifth Era wouldn't have tried it."

"We can only try. The opinion of the church and the academy is that this relic can at least make the rift you described shrink somewhat, restoring it to a state that can be contained. Although the gate of this building is damaged, it should still be repairable."

Inside the mahogany box was a red silk lining, and embedded in the lining was a thumb-sized crystal bottle. Although this crystal bottle was bottle-shaped, it did not have a bottle mouth in the true sense; in other words, the crystal surface had no cracks or interfaces of any kind.

The crystal surface reflected a verdant light, and Xia De could not see clearly what color the liquid inside was, but after taking it out of the box, a powerful whisper element could be sensed immediately.

It was just that compared to the power from the doomsday leaking from the rift in front of him, even the power of an Unknown-level relic seemed no longer so powerful.
