Chapter 2950: Meteor

Facing that incomplete blood moon protruding from the crack, someone chuckled in Xia De's ear, so the giant held the three ladies in one hand and grabbed the half blood moon with the other.

The giant's palm was so large that when that palm came close to the blood moon, those watching this scene realized that the giant's height at this moment was probably far more than a thousand meters.

Crack~ With a loud noise, the giant's silver-shining left hand hard-heartedly crushed half of the blood moon.

After the blood moon shattered, the crazy light inside and the wriggling flesh and blood on the surface immediately infected the giant's body. Xia De, whose eyes were still a bit red, looked at his left hand. The bright red moonlight was scattered in his palm like stars. In that pure silver moonlight, it didn't look like an impurity, but rather an embellishment.

Looking at the remaining half of the blood moon behind the time crack again, what he saw in the blood-colored moonlight was not only madness but also the most primitive impulse of the night. That was the wriggling of flesh and blood, that was biological instinct, that was the desire for reproduction.

After this moment of complex feeling, the Outsider, who was embraced by the silver body, clearly felt the joy he had when the blood moon disintegrated, when the flesh and blood dissipated, when the blood-red color gradually turned into ashes.

The silver phantom that came because of the thirteenth-ring miracle of the witches and sorceresses chuckled in the giant Xia De's ear, so he understood that his control over the red moon had finally gone up another level.

The magnificent holy silver light stream finally crossed the time crack, completely dispersing the "Moon of Madness" at the time point of the past. And when the blood moon disappeared, only a silver moon remained in the opposite time and space for the time being. It was just that this had nothing to do with Xia De, because the crack finally couldn't bear the transmission of such powerful energy back and forth and closed on its own.

The three ladies in the palms stopped casting spells. The life rings and golden stairs behind the three slowly dissipated, but smiles appeared on their faces. None of them were demigods, so they also understood what that blow just now meant. Even for the sorceresses of the Sixth Era who had never seen a demigod, this experience was also invaluable.

The silver figure lying on giant Xia De's back gradually merged into the vast starry sky without clouds tonight and disappeared.

When the starry sky returned to that deep color, the stars above the Vista woodlands looked more dazzling than in any era of the past. The starry sky tonight would probably become a memory for many locals for many years to come. As for the giant, the silver light on his body gradually hid in the depths of the starry sky.

The giant's volume, which was watched by everyone, became smaller bit by bit, until it turned into the size of an ordinary person, and it was difficult to observe from the ground anymore.

But the girls on the ship saw through Miss Ilayse's perspective that after Xia De's body shrank, he closed his eyes and fell straight toward the ground. Only a little remaining silver brilliance wrapped around his body, and the light marks left after the half blood moon was crushed also followed him closely, making him look like a falling meteor.

Olanod, Danister, and Carter were very eager to catch him, but the three ladies, who had consumed too much, could only maintain their floating state at this moment, and even their bodies had a tendency to fall slightly.

They followed Xia De and fell toward the depths of the forest below. Amidst the screams that came one after another in the captain's room of the ship, the water curtain could no longer track the figures of the three people falling separately at this time.

"I'll go catch them!"

Miss Ilayse said, but Luvia pressed her shoulder:

"Wait a minute, adjust the field of view downward. What is that?"

The fall happened unexpectedly, but in fact, neither of the two ladies was injured. It was just that the abrupt disappearance of the Night Curtain Seal made them dizzy for a few seconds as they were extremely close to that time crack. By the time they recovered their consciousness, their bodies were descending rapidly in the strong wind.

Danister Gustav hurriedly went to look for Xia De's trail and soon discovered that Xia De, whose half body was dyed red, was falling like he had lost consciousness below the two:

"Xia De!"

The red-haired girl, who was closer to the bottom, adjusted her body direction and reached out her hand toward him. Only after getting closer to Xia De did she discover that there was a huge penetrating wound from his shoulder blade to his back.

She tried to grab him while holding back her tears, but then discovered at this moment that Xia De's wound was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye under the illumination of the blood moon.

The rapid fall made the whistling wind sound even more piercing, but she ultimately failed to grab Xia De. Because at the moment her fingertips were about to touch the falling figure, a lady who came from below gently hugged the Outsider.

The long black hair, although also reflected into red, still retained a dark trace. The expression on her face as she looked at Xia De was one of slight worry and tenderness.

The red-haired girl then retracted her hand, stopped falling in a daze, and hovered in the air. Miss Olanod, who was higher above her, also followed and floated behind her, and looked at the woman wearing a beige hat who hugged Xia De:

"Are you a thirteenth-ring? Are you..."

She asked with doubt, but couldn't see the tears in the corners of the eyes of the red-haired girl who had her back to her.

This was not sadness for Xia De, who had taken a deep breath and opened his eyes, but sadness for the sorceress who appeared in front of her. "Moon Curse Master" Helena Carter gently touched Xia De's cheek under that crazy blood moon, and then looked up at her student whom she hadn't seen for many years. ===== CHAPTER 2951 =====

"He..."

Consequently, everyone by the pool subconsciously looked at the red-haired girl, who, with a cold face and not even bothering to cast a Water-Avoidance Curse on herself, took off her shoes and walked straight into the pool.

Although the heat and silver light obstructed their view, they could still see quite clearly. The red-haired girl reached the two people in the pool and forcibly separated Xia De from the black-haired lady, who had a slight flush on her face. Her gesture of raising her hand looked very much like she was about to strike Xia De, but soon she was also pulled into Xia De's embrace, and Xia De kissed her neck as well.

"What's wrong with Xia De?"

Under normal circumstances, the Outsider would indeed not do such a thing, but he was not completely out of control either. Just as Luweiya had begun to take off her boots, preparing to stop him, Xia De suddenly pushed the red-haired girl in his arms away, then clutched his forehead as if he were dizzy.

However, he still refused the support of the red-haired girl and the black-haired lady, and walked to the edge of the pool with them.

"Sorry, I lost my composure just now."

After leaving the pool, he first apologized, but what everyone cared about was the glimmer of light in his eyes that had not yet faded.

"Xia De just made direct contact with the blood moon in the air; that moon had some influence on him... The red moon represents flesh and reproduction."

Ms. Carter explained softly, and Xia De, who still felt a bit dizzy, began to talk about this pool:

"Most of the wreckage of the Moon of Madness dissipated into elements and spirits, but a small portion maintained its physical form. After being purified by the silver moon, it fell here and turned into this pool... let's just call it a hot spring.

The power of that moon is too strong; if not actively destroyed, this place will likely exist permanently. Although the water here loses its effect once it leaves the pool, inside the pool, it is roughly equivalent to a weakened version of Moon-Essence Water. Soaking in it often can dispel diseases and curses..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Whatever it is, talk about it after you've recovered."

Luweiya advised, then said to the elf girl:

"Drive Little Liana and the chocobos away for now; let them come back tomorrow morning."

Then she said to Miss Jia Lin Na:

"Find Dorothy on the ship, and have the maids help prepare some changes of clothes; have them delivered at seven tomorrow morning."

Then she said to Vanessa:

"Manipulate the soil to raise the edges of this hot spring; it looks very unsightly right now. Make it look like a man-made hot spring."

Finally, she said to Miss Dannister and that strange black-haired lady:

"You two should return to the ship to rest first. Thank you for your hard work tonight. We can talk about anything tomorrow morning."

More footsteps came from the woods; the other girls searching for Xia De's tracks had also found their way here.

"Luweiya, what are you planning to do?"

Xiwei, who had long, wavy brown hair, asked this, and Luweiya had already taken Xia De's hand, her purple eyes meeting everyone's gaze in turn:

"Xia De will likely need the whole night to return to normal. Leave this to me and Dorothy."

After all, it had already been agreed that tonight was for her and Dorothy.

Vanessa wanted to say "I'll come help too," but was held back by Miss Jia Lin Na's hand on her shoulder; now was not the time to expose this secret.

So they watched as Luweiya reached into Xia De's pocket, took out the small bottle of pink perfume, and placed it on the ground by the pool. Then, she took off her own and Xia De's coats, and holding Xia De's hand, entered the warm, glowing pool water.

Xia De was actually conscious and knew what Luweiya wanted to do. He demurred a few times, but soon his voice was drowned out by the gurgling sound of the water. The purified fragments of the Moon of Madness formed this hot spring, and the concept of the "moon" maintained this place. The water here was actually living water, so there was no need to worry about cleanliness.

The ladies on the shore looked at each other. Finally, the black-haired lady from 33 years ago waved her hand, and a silver curtain created by the moon's illusion shielded the side of the pool. The sheer curtain clung tightly to the edges of the irregular pond; although it could be moved by the night breeze, the swaying of the light fabric only allowed the ladies standing by the pool to see the water vapor swirling in the pool and two blurred figures.

Little Liana and the chocobos were also driven away by the moon's light, but they were not angry; instead, they ran around with great interest, likely treating this place as a playground.
