Chapter 3473: The Burned Tree

The tree seemed to grow directly from the underground of Saint-Dran Square, and the spreading canopy soon reached above Xia De's head.

When the shadow covered him, he took a step forward, and while his body suddenly became larger, he used "Lagley's Jump" to appear in front of the tree trunk. Giant Xia De took a deep breath, and then hugged the thick trunk of the giant tree with both hands.

The violent curse accumulated by devouring countless time curse victims surged into Xia De's body through direct contact, but then fire-red cracks appeared on his hands, and the cracks spread rapidly to his whole body. The fire-red sparks drifting out from the cracks moved upward and came into contact with the canopy, causing the giant tree to shake violently.

"Burning Oath! Power of the Red Dragon!"

Ignoring the curse that was confronting the First Flame in his body, Xia De hugged the trunk hard, trying to pull it directly out of the ground. This was the experience he gained from Vista Forest. No matter how powerful this tree was, it was just a tree. Once it was pulled out of the ground, many things would be quite convenient next.

【Are you directly hugging Helena Carter?】

"She" asked with a light smile at this moment. Xia De replied in his heart, "Now is not the time for jokes," and the vines hanging down from the canopy above had already firmly bound his huge body.

This tree seemed to want to absorb Xia De as part of itself, but unfortunately, it couldn't do it, so it had to use these vines to restrict and interfere with Xia De's exertion.

But just some vines were not a threat to Xia De now. Stepping on the earth, the power of the First Flame, the Red Dragon, and the Titan Giant appeared together. The scorching steam radiated outward from his skin, and even his skin began to turn faintly red.

Dangerous noises came from the tree roots under the ground, and the giant tree was also shaking violently. It was really being pulled out by Xia De.

The big tree, which had been eroded by the curse for a long time, felt the danger. The corpses hanging under the canopy all faced the direction of the giant under the tree at this moment. Then their eyes shone, and thousands of deadly gray-green rays shot at Xia De's huge body.

Even if this tree was weakened at this moment, Xia De didn't dare to take such an attack hard. He let go of the trunk and took a step back, disappearing under the tree. So the trunk was hit by its own attack amidst the rumbling sound.

Then the giant tree shook violently again, and the giant Xia De fell directly above the canopy. He stood up, took a deep breath under the dim sky, and opened his mouth toward the canopy under his feet:

"Magic - Dragon's Breath!"

The fire-red flames were sprayed out, and a large area of the canopy was ignited in an instant. But then the curse turned into substance, floating upward in the form of cold gray mist, forcibly suppressing the spread of the flames.

At the same time, the vines extending from the canopy had bound the giant Xia De's feet, but Xia De didn't care. After taking a deep breath again, the brilliant silver light was sprayed toward the canopy and the gray mist, and then the Moon Fire directly ignited the curse. A shrill scream came from under the canopy. This time, Xia De truly hurt its essence.

The shaking of the canopy became more and more violent, and the big tree tried to clear the Moon Fire by reversing time. But at this moment, the giant Xia De, whose legs were completely bound by vines, had already taken out the black key. The giant Sun, Moon, and Star ritual array unfolded above the canopy, and then the giant Yggdrasil staff was fiercely stabbed into the bottom by Xia De:

"Magic - Stability Principle of Ancient Elves!"

The tail of the long staff was stabbed directly into the trunk of the curse-eroding big tree by him. The magic took effect, and the phantom of the verdant giant tree was superimposed on the curse-eroding big tree, and the pure silver secret fire immediately spread to the entire giant tree at a faster speed.

To deal with the curse, Moon Fire is indeed the most professional.

Even the vines binding Xia De had been ignited by the flames he sprayed, so the effect of the vines restricting space was weakened, and Xia De used Lagley's Jump again to return to the ground.

Before those thousands of corpses could attack him again, Xia De sprayed a mouthful of Moon Fire onto the canopy, and when the trunk was ignited by the Moon Fire, he quickly shrank and dodged most of the gray-green curse rays:

"Nightfall Seal!"

A few attacks were absorbed by the nightfall, and when the nightfall was broken, the reappearing giant Xia De hugged the burning trunk again, and then amidst his roar, the giant tree tilted little by little, until the tree was really pulled out of the bricks and stones under the square by him directly.

The corpses of the cursed people hanging on the tree fell one by one like apples, and then turned into dust and disappeared before they really landed.

The giant tree was thrown to the ground by him, and the loud bang accompanied by smoke rushed into the sky. Xia De, who was panting heavily, turned back to his original appearance, took a big gulp of the perfume bottle with strange pink color while looking at the burning tree.

After the big tree fell to the ground, it lost its ability to resist because the Moon Fire had covered two-thirds of its volume. Xia De stood there watching the tree being burned to ashes inch by inch by the Moon Fire. Although the tree had a material form, its essence was already a curse aggregate in substance, otherwise it wouldn't have been burned so thoroughly.

The sky full of white flying ash and yellow sand drifted past Xia De's side, but the Moon Fire had no temperature. Instead, these white ashes took away the little remaining temperature of this world, making Xia De feel inexplicably cold.

But the disaster of time was not so easy to kill. When the last wisp of Moon Fire went out, and a layer of thick white ash was laid on the severely damaged Saint-Dran Square, Xia De saw a figure stand up in the position where the white ash was thickest.

"Helena Carter."

It was the familiar black-haired lady. She didn't wear any clothes at first, but when she got up, the white ash around her quickly gathered toward her body, until it wove into a pure white dress.

But Xia De's expression didn't relax; instead, he became nervous. Even looking from across the square, he could see what kind of existence the other party was.

The soul named Helena Carter had long since disappeared under the crushing of countless time curses. At this moment, the giant tree was burned, and the remaining essence just condensed this body again based on the deepest memory in the curse-eroding big tree.

Its essence was still a curse aggregate. It was a monster wearing the familiar face of Xia De. Of course, it was impossible to rely on burning the curse-eroding big tree to bring back Miss Helena Carter.

"I will send you away—Sword Magic Contract!"

He stretched out his hand to the side, and the sword stuck at the door flew into Xia De's hand with a swoosh.

"She" whispered:

【You wouldn't have left the sword by the wall on purpose for this, would you?】

Xia De of course wouldn't admit it. At this moment, the pure silver moonlight great sword had wrapped the sword body of 【Night Watchman】, and he held the sword and rushed forward, stepping on the white ash covering the square.

And the "lady" in the white dress standing on the other side of the square also stretched out her hand, letting the white ash gather in her hand to form another white two-handed great sword that looked like a "moonlight great sword," and then she also rushed toward Xia De.

The two intersected in the center of the square, the pure silver holy sword collided with the cursed white sword, and after a "clang" sound, their figures separated quickly again.

Xia De staggered forward two steps, covering his chest and looking down at the wound cut on his chest. His right hand, burning with Moon Fire, covered the wound, quickly clearing the power of the curse.

And the white ash great sword in the black-haired lady's hand had broken. She also staggered forward two steps and then knelt on the ground. When she still wanted to struggle to climb up, Xia De, who had picked up the staff from the white ash, turned around and threw it, so the Yggdrasil staff attached with the thunder spear pierced through her chest from behind, nailing her to the ground.

When Xia De, who had finished healing, walked in front of her, her whole body was drifting out white powder in the wind. Moon Fire had the strongest restraint effect on this kind of curse aggregate. If the Moon Fire during the Battle of Vista Forest had the current power, it wouldn't have been so hard to fight at that time.

He hesitated for a moment, then knelt on one knee in front of the black-haired lady. The latter looked up tremblingly at Xia De, but Xia De couldn't see any familiar luster in her eyes.

"Are you the moon?"

It asked softly, and Xia De shook his head. Generally, he wouldn't speak at such times, but this time he took the initiative to ask:

"Do you still remember Dannister Gustav?"

He looked into her eyes, but she didn't answer, but gradually dissipated in the wind, and finally only a paper card fell slowly beside the black staff.

Xia De sighed deeply and picked up the paper card without looking at the content on it. He was not disappointed. The story of the past was a story that had already ended. No matter what happened here, it was non-existent to him.

The Leixia of the past committed suicide, Miss Helena Carter would never come back, Sister Sister Daifulin turned into ashes in the fire, and Adele was left alone in the world after the doomsday. But it didn't matter. Adele would eventually be taken away by him. As for the others, they would have their own different endings in his era.

This was the first time Xia De defeated the curse-eroding big tree transformed by the "Moon Curse Master," and there would be a second time in the era he lived in. At that time, the curse-eroding big tree had not yet absorbed so many curses, nor did it have the "doomsday power" that only existed after the doomsday, so its power would be weaker than the tree that was suppressed today.

He already knew how to fight the tree. Next time, the tree would not be burned, but would bear fruits containing the souls that both he and Dannister missed.

The thick layer of white ash covering the square ground was blown away by the wind and disappeared completely when Xia De walked from the center of the square back to his door. When he looked back again with the sword, what he saw was just a mess on the square with upturned stone slabs, yellow sand rolling on the ground, and the traces of the curse-eroding big tree disappeared completely.

Xia De didn't care about these, opened the door that was already stuck in the door frame with effort, and then returned to his house. Next, he just needed to wait for Adele to return. ===== CHAPTER 3474 =====
