Chapter 3052: Conditions for the Words of Sublimation

~10 min read 1,967 words

"The relationship between me and that young lady... is about the same as my relationship with you."

Xia De spoke the truth, but to prevent Luweiya from overthinking, he added:

"If there is a chance for her to truly meet you in the future, she will call you sister too."

He tried hard not to think about the strange scene he had just described.

"I don't care about that at all."

The purple-eyed girl continued to listen to Xia De's heartbeat, and she felt herself growing drowsy again:

"Since the other party is completely reliable, what are the conditions for summoning her with your Mid-Ring Words of Sublimation? Her situation should be different from those ancient Great Witches, right? Otherwise, the Low-Ring Words of Sublimation would have been enough."

Aside from that drop of divinity from the World Tree, this was indeed Xia De's most important harvest from this Battle of the Vesta Woodlands. After a brief exchange with "her" in his heart, Xia De said to Luweiya:

"The use of the Mid-Ring Words of Sublimation is even more demanding than the Low-Ring ones. The descriptions from Miss Jia Lin Na and Duoluoxi are definitely not exaggerated, because even if they were, they wouldn't be more exaggerated than reality, so the summoning conditions... let's just say, they aren't simpler than summoning a god."

To this world, the long-haired Luweiya was a more dangerous existence than the gods. Xia De had long known this, so before truly using the Mid-Ring Words of Sublimation, he had never imagined he could actually summon her. Because of this, although she could still appear as long as he used those Words of Sublimation again, the limiting conditions were extremely, extremely strict.

"Tell me in detail."

Luweiya said, and Xia De continued to explain:

"First is the occasion; the Mid-Ring Words of Sublimation can only be used when confronting specific enemies. I have to see these enemies myself to know if they meet the conditions."

In truth, it was "the Mid-Ring Words of Sublimation only take effect when facing enemies that the past Luweiya had personally defeated." Although the Luweiya of the Sixth Era had indeed defeated many enemies in the past six times, she had not fought every single existence in the entire world; even for those she had defeated, she hadn't necessarily done it herself.

"Are the limitations that strict? So she comes from the future? Like that Adele? But why can the latter be summoned using your Low-Ring Words of Sublimation?"

"This... actually, there is an essential difference. Then the second condition is the location of use. This is similar to the Low-Ring Words of Sublimation but even stricter; not only does it require use in an 'ancient occasion related to time,' but it must also be under the moon."

"After all, the Mid-Ring is the 'Shadow of the Silver Moon'; it definitely wouldn't work without the moon."

Luweiya nodded to show she understood and signaled for Xia De to continue, but Xia De explained the second point further:

"Because of the blessings I have received, I am essentially illuminated by the Silver Moon at all times. But specifically for my Mid-Ring Words of Sublimation, it requires the moon to truly exist. Fortunately, it is not limited to a specific moon phase. If it were limited to a full moon, it would be even more troublesome. So the second point is actually a limitation to nighttime, and one must be able to see the moon, which means it cannot be indoors or underground."

His left hand did not forget to gently stroke Little Mia; if there were dark clouds, it would be easy to handle, as he could just transform into a dragon and spray them away:

"Limited enemies, limited time, limited location, but that's not all. The third point requires that, aside from the first free time, using the Mid-Ring Words of Sublimation to summon her in the future requires a sacrifice."

"What?"

Luweiya, who had originally felt she wanted to fall asleep again, instantly woke up and sat straight up to look at Xia De:

"What kind of sacrifice?"

Xia De comforted her:

"Don't be so nervous. Her power is so great that one could almost say there is no enemy in the material world she cannot defeat."

But it was not that there were no things she could not solve, such as sealing the Time Scar without sacrificing anyone.

"So it is normal for the summoning conditions to be harsh. The sacrifice is not what you think; it's just that every time I summon her, it makes my... luck worse for a period of time. It's not that everything goes wrong; you are a diviner, you should understand what I mean. It's probably that the world dislikes me temporarily, so I'd better not do anything very important or dangerous; staying at home or handling simple things is still fine."

Luweiya looked nervous:

"Isn't this serious? This is almost the most serious sacrifice I can think of."

"But my base luck is high enough, it's fine."

Luweiya pursed her lips and lay back down on Xia De's chest, and only after a long while did she continue:

"If it's not absolutely necessary, you'd better not use these Words of Sublimation again. Although the change in luck cannot be intuitively shown to affect oneself, once you encounter a critical moment, you will know how important luck really is.

I'll go find Beiya in a while to help you prepare some luck-changing rituals and make some amulets."

Xia De smiled and held her:

"Don't think this is too harsh; I even think the price is too small. I even thought that the Tree Father wouldn't allow me to do this, so every time he would punish me by not allowing me to use the Time Key for a certain period."

"I would rather you not be able to use the Time Key than have you yourself be affected."

The purple-eyed girl whispered, while "she" gently reminded him:

【The long-haired Luweiya Anate already exists in this space-time; summoning her does not violate the rules of time, so there will be no punishment.】

Xia De had originally thought that after finishing this conversation, he would go to the banquet hall with Luweiya to have breakfast, but just then, a maid sent by Miss Jia Lin Na knocked on the door to notify them that breakfast time had been postponed. The witch's exact words were:

"Wait until you bring Sister Daifulin and Grace and Helen back, then everyone will eat together."

So breakfast was delayed by half an hour, and Xia De needed to depart in twenty minutes. Luweiya pulled Xia De and asked him to accompany her for a while longer, but in reality, she only mentioned to Xia De "remember to reward Emilia," and then fell asleep in Xia De's arms in less than two minutes.

The Outsider looked down at the sleeping face of the diviner miss, feeling that this was the true reward for him after the war.

Taking this opportunity, he thought about his other gains from this great battle: the miracle 【Mist Moon Tide】 could summon a thick fog to confuse enemies, suitable for large-scale combat scenarios; Xia De would never mention the miracle 【Witch's Joy】 to anyone, and besides, whether it would take effect was not something he could control.

The divinity of the World Tree had just been accommodated in his body, and the complex information and knowledge within it were waiting for him to slowly digest; finally, after completing the Crystal Throne ritual, the Lost Lock - 【Crystal Light】 also had an effect in its normal state.

"It can be used to seal cracks and tree holes... I wonder if it can plug that Doomsday Crack in White Ape Canyon."

Although the harvest was not much, Xia De was already very satisfied. Especially since the Lost Lock had gained a new effect, it meant that those troublesome tree holes could finally be neutralized.

Thinking about these things in his heart, he inexplicably felt some drowsiness as well. He resisted the urge to yawn to keep himself alert, but his peripheral vision suddenly caught Luweiya's hair appearing to grow longer for a moment, so he stopped resisting the sleepiness and soon fell asleep as well.

"Meow?"

The cat felt Xia De's hand resting on it and no longer moving, and it was very puzzled by this.

Almost at the moment his consciousness blurred, his body fell directly downward, and then the surrounding environment changed into the dilapidated No. 6 St. Deran Square. The "doomsday" of the dream did not have much impact on his spirit, so Xia De jumped directly to the third floor and then reached the roof from the attic. Under the dim yellow sky, the long-haired Luweiya was indeed waiting for him.

"Xia De!"

Unlike the low spirits she had when seeing him in the past, this time the long-haired girl appeared exceptionally happy. Xia De had just sat down beside her when she took the initiative to hug him—it seemed it had been the same in the past.

After she hugged him, she didn't say anything, just hugged Xia De tightly. Xia De knew her mood at this moment, so he also held her and looked up at the sun flowing with lines of fire.

The flow of time in the dream was different from reality, and he still had plenty of time to stay here, letting the long-haired girl feel the temperature of his soul. It was indeed a long time before Luweiya spoke; her eyes seemed a bit red, but she didn't want Xia De to notice this:

"Am I your final one, right?"

The Outsider said a rare witty remark:

"Also the first."

The long-haired girl was stunned for a moment before she understood, gently patted him, and her face turned a bit red:

"Who was talking to you about this... then will you really accompany me until the end of time?"

"Of course, I promised Miss Luweiya Fioqi Anate, and now I can still promise her again: I will accompany Luweiya until the end of time."

The purple-eyed girl then curled up in his arms and closed her eyes, saying nothing and doing nothing, continuing to enjoy this moment of peace.

However, she had specifically called Xia De here not just for this promise she had already obtained:

"I heard the requirements for the Mid-Ring Words of Sublimation you just mentioned; this is about what I expected, so unless it's a last resort, even if you are summoning a god, don't summon me again."

"I understand."

Xia De promised, but only he and "she" knew what he was really thinking.

"Luweiya, what was your state when you were summoned at that time? How strong were you?"

Xia De also asked this key question, and the long-haired girl's voice sounded in the wind and sand:

"That was definitely not my peak state. In fact, as long as the doomsday does not come, I can never reach my peak state no matter what. This is not a limitation, but I am worried that my power will affect the order of space-time. In fact, being able to use so much power just now was already very abnormal; it was your shadow that protected me, or rather, protected the world from being affected by me.

You should have noticed that when I appeared, your shadow spread to the surroundings instead of just existing beside you. As for how strong I am... if you summon me just because you want to defeat a certain target, then I will definitely be able to make your wish come true."

Xia De felt much more at ease after getting this answer. ===== CHAPTER 3053 =====
