Chapter 2972

The coroner's statement of "incarnation into light", "stone body", and "limited fighting time" gave the Outsider a strong sense of déjà vu:

"Can your fighting time last about three minutes?"

"It can be longer, mainly depending on the output during the battle and the weather at that time. Theoretically speaking, the stronger the light around, the longer I can maintain the state, whether it is sunlight, moonlight, or other types of light."

"However, the current situation outside belongs to the worst fighting environment for me. In the case of full-force fighting, it can be maintained for about five minutes."

Mr. Ptolemy Albel admitted, but in Xia De's view, having it was better than not having it. The role that the Chosen One holding a divine artifact could play was definitely stronger than just borrowing a divine artifact.

So Xia De briefly described the current situation of Vesta Woodland again, and focused on the final battle tomorrow night:

"Mr. Albel, since the time you can fight at full force is not long, it is better to save your power until the most critical moment."

Xia De explained his thoughts:

"Tomorrow, the city will be guarded by the Church and the Chosen One of the earth, and I and the candidate I support will solve other troubles. When we need to face the Ancient One in the forest directly, you will appear to help us."

The coroner nodded and agreed:

"No problem, just call me when you need me. I don't need to go to Vesta Woodland now. When you need me, I can fly to your side directly as light. Tomorrow evening after I get off work, I will fly to Vesta Woodland to wait first. When you need me, I will go to your side, but this is not space movement, so there will probably be a delay of a few seconds to more than ten seconds."

He said and took Xia De from the morgue to his office, and then handed the 【Blood Sorrow】 that was hanging brightly on the wall to Xia De. Now it was not only the holy sword of the vampire species, but also a divine artifact symbolizing the status of the Chosen One of Light:

"Inject light into it, and then throw it into the sky, and I can sense you. Of course, this requires you to be outdoors."

"Besides being used to summon me, injecting light into it as a weapon can also allow this divine artifact to have the effect of tearing time protection. Flowing light and thunder tearing the sky are symbols of the passage of time. This sword forged by the Dragon God can tear space-time."

Besides this, Mr. Albel also gave Xia De some other things. He had already made preparations for Xia De's invitation in advance.

They were a short knife with a blade that kept glowing, a desktop stone ornament of a giant dragon coiled on an egg that looked very similar to the "Dragon Altar", and eight blood-red potions:

"That short knife is a divine artifact 'Blade of Blessing' that I made myself. As long as any object touches it lightly, it can obtain the effect of 'Blade of Blessing' for two hours. Besides the weapon itself glowing, it can also cause light-type damage to enemies when used, has damage deepening effects on undead and demons, and can allow the weapon itself to be exempt from the defense effect of the unstable time fog you mentioned to a certain extent."

"Theoretically speaking, it can attach such special effects to an infinite number of weapons, but it's a pity that its own effective time is only three days. Yes, this is a ritual short knife I made by imitating the power of that divine artifact."

The surface of the short knife had been finely polished, showing a mirror-like luster. Complex dragon patterns were carved on both sides of the blade, and the lines were like spreading ivy, symbolizing the prosperity of life. These patterns seemed to be completed by hand etching and plated with a thin layer of gold, making it slightly emit golden light in the light.

"As for that stone ornament, it is also a divine artifact. I originally thought that if the final battle happened in the middle of the night, this could still play some effect. Now it seems my advance preparation was very correct."

"Divine artifact 'Prayer Light'. After activation, place it in a high place in the city, and it can provide a small light source for the city. This item needs the assistance of a ritual to cover the entire city. I know the Dawn Church also has this kind of divine artifact that can provide large-scale lighting, but mine can provide life force recovery and stealth detection effects within the range of light."

These two top-notch divine artifacts were made by Mr. Albel after he became the Chosen One. They themselves carried on someone, could provide quite powerful auxiliary effects, and were even more useful in large-scale battles.

Ptolemy Albel could not participate in the battle for a long time, so he provided these two excellent auxiliary items to play his role. As for the eight blood-red potions, they were supplies he sent to Xia De alone.

However, these potions were not only related to his status as the Chosen One of "Light", but also special agents he formulated by synthesizing potion formulas in the vampire clan's classics and ancient dragon knowledge:

"Dragon Transformation Potion. The simple and straightforward effect is that after drinking it, you can briefly transform into a giant dragon. You know the potion called 【Cat in a Bottle】, right? They are all potions that allow people without any transformation talent to transform."

The coroner warned when Xia De checked those agents:

"But be careful, it is best for people who drink this potion to have Fifth-Tier strength, otherwise it may cause permanent and unrecoverable damage to themselves after the transformation effect ends. And it must never be given to ordinary people to drink. You don't want to know what will happen."

The storage conditions for 【Dragon Transformation Potion】 were extremely harsh, and it must be maintained in an environment above 70 degrees to ensure it would not deteriorate. So Mr. Albel put them into a thermos and gave them to Xia De, and urged Xia De that deteriorated potions must never be drunk.

And the excellence of 【Dragon Transformation Potion】 was actually not that it could provide a one-time transformation technique. After all, if the Church really wanted a dragon, there were plenty of dragons on Dragon Island.

The truly powerful point of this potion was that the damage received by the transformation form after drinking the potion would not be fed back to the main body. Therefore, after the potion effect disappeared, the drinker would return to the state before drinking, which was equivalent to providing a period of invincibility effect.

Although this potion was of little significance to Xia De, after all, with his recovery power, as long as it was not a fatal blow, he could basically recover after panting a few times, but it was very helpful to the girls around him.

Afterward, this 【Dragon Transformation Potion】 would also become a purchasable item in Mr. Albel's store list here, and Xia De could spend money to order it again at any time. However, the production of the potion took time, so this kind of potion would be limited in purchase in the future.

In short, Xia De made another purchase at Mr. Albel's place, and then chatted with the coroner about the changes in Moon Bay City in the past few months, before setting off to return to Vesta Woodland.

He just caught up with lunch on the ship, or rather, everyone was waiting for him to return. Everyone sat down in the restaurant one after another, and the maids pushed the dining cart to serve dishes to everyone, so Xia De briefly explained the gains of the morning before the meal.

The news of being able to get the support of powerful helpers made everyone very happy. Seeing that Miss Olanode didn't know much about the situation of other Chosen Ones, Miss Danister sitting beside her briefly described it, so the ancient Moon Witch raised her own question:

"It seems that those official Chosen Ones are all very powerful, the nun holding fire, the cluster soul guarding the earth, the vampire species embracing light and justice, the four-in-one butterfly of Xia De... I don't know if it's my illusion, but Emilia and Miss Iluna Beias, whom you always mention, don't seem to have such powerful power as them."

"This... Iluna's situation is different from theirs."

Luvia explained. Xia De actually didn't understand this point very well. After all, except for Iluna, other Chosen Ones could basically defeat Thirteenth-Tier head-on even if they were not Thirteenth-Tier. And the reason Luvia gave was:

"Although Iluna completed the ritual first, her growth and transformation have not yet ended. Although her power is weak at this moment, she has the strongest potential."

Angelina, who was sitting beside Grace and Helen as usual, thought of the sentence "If a person is weak, praise him for having potential" for some reason. She kept a straight face and tried her best not to let her expression change. In fact, the little princess didn't understand what Luvia wanted to express at all.

During lunch, not only did Xia De share the news, but the two diviner ladies also informed Xia De about the starry sky above their heads:

"The stars above our heads are still changing, so it's not that the time of the entire material world is no longer flowing. Time is still flowing forward, and the day the silver moon shines is still tomorrow."

Luvia said, so Xia De was a bit puzzled:

"Since it's not time stagnation, why hasn't the sun risen? Could it be that this is not an anomaly of time, but an anomaly of the moon? It can't be an anomaly of the sun, right?"

"Meow~"

The cat meowed gently, hoping Xia De would eat first before considering these things.

Bella explained:

"The reason for this is very complicated, but this is indeed an anomaly of time. Simply put, the time of the sky above our heads and the time of the ground have a mismatch, and this mismatch of time is dynamically changing. The specific details of this, even if written into a book, cannot be finished. You only need to know now that the moon phase of each night is still normal and will not change because of the polar night."

"Then can it be determined when this phenomenon will end? It can't continue forever, right?"

Galina, who was sitting beside Luvia, asked them, but the diviner ladies couldn't give a definite answer:

"This still needs to be observed. It can only be determined that this abnormal phenomenon is definitely not permanent. After all, the stability of the material world has not yet become that bad. However, at least don't think about seeing the sun again during the day today and tomorrow. The night will not recede at least until Sunday. It is winter now, I hope the gas supply in the city can hold up."
