Chapter 2947: Two-Colored Moon

~10 min read 1,989 words

"I'm here!"

The little elf who heard her name being called raised her hand immediately. The blood color had already dyed her beautiful blonde hair blood-red, and her face was full of nervousness and anticipation. Although it was dangerous, she knew that she would have to face it in the end:

"Do I need to set off with you?"

"No!

Stay on the ship and don't leave the cabin. Before you become a Chosen One, this kind of situation involving other types of disasters is not something you can handle. I just want to temporarily borrow your 【Elf Sovereignty】. Danister and I both have rare elf bloodlines, but if the situation is truly critical, we can also borrow its power."

"Okay."

Emilia, half disappointed and half relieved, took off the silver crown stuck on her arm and handed it to Miss Olanod.

So a group of people immediately took action. The witch and the red-haired girl flew to the high sky, and the little witch Vanessa, after explaining to Xiris, left the deck and jumped onto the lake shore.

Everyone else entered the cabin together. Then, the dragon scale patterns covering the surface of the Brilliance Messenger, which was covered by illusions, slowly wriggled, performing the final closed waterproof treatment.

"Miss Flora Winslett!"

Luvia called out to the worried Great Witch of Death:

"It is currently uncertain whether this Moon of Madness truly comes from 1760, but I want to ask, how was the moon that appeared locally back then resolved?"

The other witches who had just retreated from the deck to the cabin also looked at Flora, but the owl lady shook her head:

"There is very little information about this matter from the outside world. Recently, when we were exchanging intelligence with the church, I felt that information about the disaster of the moon might be useful in the future, so I traded for it. The information says that the Moon of Madness event back then did not last long, and the Orthodox Church actually did nothing; it retreated on its own."

Flora misunderstood Luvia's meaning:

"In the records of this matter, there was no mention of a time crack appearing in the blood-red night sky. People at that time couldn't look directly at the night sky at all; everyone was busy hiding in the basements of buildings. Creekwood in that era only had the Church of Nature, the church area was very small, and the level of the Ringed Shushi stationed there was also very low. Being able to protect themselves and leave behind complete records was already the greatest contribution."

"No, what I want to ask is, when the Moon of Madness event ended back then, were there any other abnormal phenomena in the sky?"

Flora frowned slightly:

"The data did mention that after the blood moon disappeared, only the silver moon appeared briefly in the night sky that had returned to normal, and it was a silver moon much larger than in normal periods. However, this only lasted for a few minutes before the red moon and the yellow moon also appeared.

The church didn't have many records about the Moon of Madness before that, so I don't know if this phenomenon was a normal manifestation after the event ended."

"Meow~"

The cat's meow attracted Luvia's attention. Turning her head, she saw Little Mia looking very agitated while being held by Tifa.

She hesitated for a moment, and then said to Miss Ilayse:

"Don't sink the ship underwater immediately. Wait until it's really unbearable before leaving. Can we see the situation outside in the cabin?"

"We can. Everyone, let's go to the captain's room."

So, except for Xivi who went to contact Miss Isabella and Sylvia who went to the bottom of the ship to confirm the situation of the teleportation portal, everyone else followed to the captain's room on the top floor of the cabin.

On the way, Bella tossed a few coins and then looked at Luvia with some worry. The latter shook her head slightly:

"In this situation, don't trust the results of divination. We should trust Xia De."

The side tower bell of the Golden Music Hall in the city had rung nine times in a row. This was a notification of a city emergency. Under such circumstances, no citizen should go out.

The cat, whose back pattern was dyed blood-red, jumped agilely on the blood-red snow. Xia De had just returned to the Accordion Hotel first, but the teleportation portal there had become very unstable, so he didn't dare to use it.

At this time, he was setting off for outside the city. The cat jumped up on the roof and turned into a red butterfly, then moved toward the northeast of the city like a stream of red light.

At the same time, bright golden light erupted from the five churches, rushing straight into the starry sea. Then, the five rays of light connected in the sky, eventually forming a translucent golden spherical shield, covering ninety percent of Vista City.

The light of the Moon of Madness was filtered by this layer of golden light, and it weakened a lot when projected to the ground. But as the blood moon became clearer and clearer behind that crack, this would sooner or later be unable to hold on either.

The red butterfly had already reached the edge of the city at the same time the church's defense mechanism was formed. Then, Xia De, clutching his chest, restored himself on a roof in the Old Town.

The impact of turning into a butterfly swarm for a long time was not great, but he felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster. This was not the effect of any backlash from a miracle, but his instinct told him that this was related to that blood moon.

Grabbing the snow on the roof and rubbing it on his face, he felt that his face was shockingly hot:

"What's wrong with me?"

【The body temperature is rising, but it has not had an impact on body functions for the time being; the soul has no abnormalities.】

【Temporarily judged that you originally have the trait of absorbing moonlight to convert into spirit, and now the absorption speed is too fast, causing temporary problems.】

"She" meant that the current state was still normal. The rapid beating of the heart was just to accelerate blood circulation, thereby converting the light of the Moon of Madness into spirit faster.

Xia De could indeed feel that his spiritual storage had exceeded the upper limit and was still rising. However, he had a special talent that it didn't matter even if his spirit exceeded the upper limit, so the most important thing now was to return to Yulon Lake first to see if the witches and Miss Olanod had any way to solve the current situation.

【Look up.】

"She" reminded softly again. Xia De then supported the snow surface and stood up. When he narrowed his eyes and looked up, his whole face turned red.

The twinkling stars in the scarlet starry sky now looked like blinking eyes. And around the time crack that presented a black luster, Xia De saw a point of light constantly rising:

"That is..."

Finding the 【Crow's Eye】 from his pocket and wearing it on his finger, he saw that it was Miss Olanod and Miss Danister constantly rising while braving the light of the blood moon.

The two ladies were almost shoulder to shoulder, and the ink-colored shield called out helped them filter the light of the blood moon. That was clearly the 【Night Curtain Seal】.

Although he didn't know what they wanted to do, Xia De still jumped up and flew toward the high sky.

It was just that the speed of the flight technique he obtained through "Dragon Feast" was too slow, so seeing that he was getting further and further away from the two ladies, he turned into that stream of blood-red light again and rushed toward the blood-colored night sky.

Higher in the night sky, Miss Danister, who had formed a seal with her hands, signaled to the ancient witch beside her that she was about to be unable to hold on. So, the moment she canceled the seal, Miss Olanod summoned a dark golden spherical shield to wrap the two of them. The light emitted from the shield vaguely formed the shape of the St. Byrons school emblem.

But even with the shield filtering, Miss Olanod's yellow long hair was still reflected into blood color, and the luster was even more enchanting than Miss Danister's original hair color:

"The situation is developing too fast. I think we can't wait for Xia De and the council's witches. If we continue like this, I don't know what will happen. Guide the red moonlight you have mastered, keep it as pure as possible, and now join me in repelling this moon!"

The witch's left hand and the young girl's right hand were crossed and held together, while their right and left hands grabbed 【Elf Sovereignty】 together. Then, they opened their arms at the same time, letting their arms and bodies form a circle together.

Golden moonlight emerged from Briny Olanod, then dispelled the red light on her body surface and long hair; bright red moonlight appeared on Danister Gustav's body, but compared to Miss Olanod, she, who was more easily affected by the "Moon of Madness," failed to completely dispel that touch of madness.

The long hair of the two swayed backward with the violent fluctuation of spirit. Golden light points even seeped out from the witch's long hair. Behind the long hair fluttering, the thirteenth-ring life rings of the two, also dyed blood-red, appeared at the same time, using the power of the life ring to continue calling for moonlight.

Olanod had clearly perceived that the power of the librarian from the future was weaker than her own, and after being affected by the red moon, the intensity of the moonlight did not reach expectations. So, in order to maintain the stability of the two kinds of moonlight, she did not summon her golden stairs:

"Concentrate and follow my guidance."

She said to those rose-red eyes, and the moonlight of the two intersected at their hands. Then, within the circle they formed together, the yellow and red moonlight rippled like water waves.

The two-colored moonlight did not merge together, but each occupied half of the circle. And as the moonlight and moonlight permeated each other, the two "water waves" that had maintained a semi-circular shape gradually permeated toward each other's position, eventually forming a pattern resembling two fish.

For some reason, Miss Danister thought of the end of the Battle of Moon Bay, when Xia De used the power of light and darkness to counterattack the evil god's final blow.

At this moment, the red-haired girl only needed to maintain the stability of the moonlight, while Olanod was completely responsible for weaving the power.

When the fish-tail pattern between the two was completely formed, the two simultaneously made the life rings behind them rotate at the fastest speed. Their joined hands were raised high together. While their long skirts and long hair danced wildly in the air, they let the yellow and red moonlight break through the limitations of their arms and expand toward the surroundings.

In the captain's room of the Brilliance Messenger, a group of people surrounded a huge water curtain placed on the desktop. The water curtain filtered out the oversaturated blood-colored moonlight, so they could clearly see Miss Olanod and Miss Danister in the night sky.

At this time, as the moonlight between the two expanded, the yellow and red moonlight swallowed them. The moonlight where the two colors met became larger and larger in the night sky, until in front of that black crack, it approximately turned into a true two-colored moon. ===== CHAPTER 2948 =====
