Chapter 3491

After the flesh and blood vanished, the surface of the door, which had returned to the appearance of an ordinary red metal door, saw the holy emblem of that ancient Creator God flash across it. In that momentary dark golden radiance, the pink dust that the eldest son's flesh and blood had turned into after disappearing drifted toward Xia De and Ellie.

A small portion flew toward Ellie, drilling into its nostrils, while the majority adhered to Xia De's body.

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na wanted to block that dust, but was stopped by Xia De:

"It's fine, it seems my guess was correct."

Xia De did not know the secret of the flesh's growth, but he clearly felt the further enhancement of his own physical strength, as well as some indescribable changes in his body.

"She" in his ear provided a detailed explanation:

【Outlander, you have devoured the "Degraded Eldest Son's Flesh," which stacks with the enhancement gained after devouring "Pseudo-Human Mother Fluid":】

【Physical Strength ↑↑, Body All-Attribute Resistance ↑↑, Stamina Recovery Speed and Self-Healing ↑↑↑】

【Outlander, you no longer need to pay Qi to cast any shapeshifting arts (Cat, Wolf, Dragon, Thunder Titan), and the Qi consumption for maintaining shapeshifting arts is halved.】

【Outlander, your miracle - Active Mud has been upgraded. When using mud to create flesh to fill in missing parts of biological organisms, the flesh will have stronger adaptability and superior fusion.】

【Outlander, your fleshly power has been further released.】

Xia De did not immediately ponder the enhancements he had gained, but instead looked carefully at Ellie. But unfortunately, even after absorbing that power, Ellie only looked a bit more spirited, but the red color of its fur had not faded; it was still red now.

"Let's close the door first."

Xia De said as he reached out to push the door, but Yin Yi Yi Lu Na asked again:

"Don't we need to take advantage of the fact that this door is already open to try and open it completely, to see what the situation is behind the door?"

It was certainly feasible to look at the situation behind the door before retreating and closing it completely, but Xia De still shook his head:

"No need, I'm afraid to start the story of 【Creation】 right now."

He had thought he could close the door with a casual push, but after reaching out, the door remained motionless. Xia De blinked in confusion, and Duo Luo Qian reminded him:

"Look, the door is no longer dripping blood."

"This doesn't seem to be the door I closed... This door closed by itself, right? Was it when the ancient god's holy emblem appeared just now?"

But regardless, this door, which for various reasons had not been able to be closed for tens of thousands of years, finally closed today, closed within the story of fate. Over who knows how many tens of thousands of years, who knows how many people had been replaced by the pseudo-humans formed from the blood flowing out of this door; their stories were known to no one, but their stories could be considered to have come to an end today.

Xia De even felt a bit of emotion, but the whole group breathed a sigh of relief. Xia De looked around again; he had originally thought the demon would appear again, but now it looked like the other party had left completely.

He then turned around, wanting to deal with the remaining blood in the blood pool, and then let the unicorns lead everyone to rush out. But just as he took out a red wine bottle and used 【Blood Wine Brewing】 to take a bottle of special "Blood Brew" from the blood pool as a sample to take out for research later, everything around him became blurry at this moment.

Before anyone could react, the 【Pseudo-Human House】 dissipated, and the group, along with hundreds of unicorns, appeared on the North End Street, immediately submerging Jia Lin Na and the others who were already there:

"Xia De!"

The witches squeezed through the unicorn herd and moved toward Xia De. Little Miya, who was in the 【God's Gift Box】 held by Ai Mi Li Ya, finally called out when she saw that things were over; she hadn't eaten breakfast yet today.

And in the slightly chaotic scene, Xia De hurriedly put the cork into the wine bottle he was holding to prevent the liquid inside from spilling out, while Yin Yi Yi Lu Na beside him smiled and took Xia De's arm to prevent herself from being separated by the moving unicorns, and she asked Xia De:

"Will the 【Pseudo-Human House】 appear again later?"

Xia De looked at the location where the 【Pseudo-Human House】 had just been; now it was just a wall:

"I'm not sure either. After all, the door is still there, there are still a large number of pseudo-humans in the house, and the blood pool still has a layer of blood left. Judging by the fact that it retreated on its own instead of staying here completely and turning into a real building, it must still retain power. But at least before the story of fate ends, we shouldn't have to worry about seeing it again. The current 【Pseudo-Human House】 is a standard Sage-level relic.

But that demon, did it really not show up again?"

"What demon?"

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na blinked, and Xia De explained briefly, but he still didn't understand:

"The guy who caused everything today. But, can a weapon demon actually catalyze a relic of the 【Pseudo-Human House】 type? Can this even count as a weapon?"

At this time, Lu Wei Ya also passed through the unicorns and came to Xia De's side, but she didn't ask about the relic or the demon, but instead hugged Xia De directly. Xia De gently patted her back with his right hand, and then showed a smile to all the young ladies who were looking at him at this moment.

The three witch apprentices and the elders worked together to complete the remedial ritual for the All-Souls Festival, which not only helped Xia De dispel the influence of the Flesh City, but also meant that the church's investigation ritual, whose effects had been severely interfered with, would work again—previously, they hadn't even detected the hundreds of unicorns secretly landing on the island due to the violent elemental fluctuations above the island.

So, taking advantage of the fact that the church's team hadn't caught up yet, Xia De didn't even have time to talk to the other great witches before calling the young ladies to ride the unicorns and fly toward the snowy mountains together.

"It's like being in a dream."

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, carried by a unicorn, said this to Duo Luo Qian beside her. The white holy beasts formed a torrent in the air, their glittering fur appearing even more holy under the sunlight.

Even the Snowy Mountain Hall couldn't accommodate so many unicorns at once. In the end, under Ke Lai Er's command, the unicorn herd landed on a relatively flat snowy slope on the mountainside of the snowy mountain. The fur color of these pure white holy beasts was very similar to the color of clean snowflakes, and when they landed on the snow, they even had a stealth effect.

And when Ma Di Er Da, Shi Dai La, and Li Ta arrived, they found that everyone was still there, but they were all standing together, watching hundreds of unicorns circling as if they were dancing, and all their horns were glittering.

Only then did they discover that what was surrounded by these sturdy unicorns was Ellie, whose fur had turned magenta. It lay listlessly in the snow, and the unicorn horn on its head seemed to be receiving the light of all the surrounding unicorns of the same kind, constantly gathering the surrounding light onto itself.

And besides red and pure white, there was also a phantom on Ellie's body that looked like silver flames; this was Xia De's Moon Fire.

Everyone watched this scene quietly. Shi Dai La felt that this was like some kind of holy and solemn sacrifice, and Ai Mi Li Ya explained in a low voice:

"Ellie fell into the blood pool of the 【Pseudo-Human House】. Although it was fished out in time, the situation is still not good. Xia De checked and found that although it is still a unicorn, its body has been severely infiltrated by the blood of the pseudo-humans, and even Xia De has no way to reverse this situation."

"He left the Moon Fire on Ellie's body. Now the unicorns are using a unique healing method to treat her. This is also the first time I've seen everyone do this. This is the ritual of the Unicorn Dance, which is specifically used by unicorns to treat their own kind. Look, little Li An Na is also helping inside."

The scene of eight great witches standing together is hard to see outside the Council. However, the apprentices who were familiar with their respective teachers thought that their teachers should have been attracted by the scene of so many unicorns dancing together, and they were not as worried as Xia De and Ai Mi Li Ya.

The treatment consumed the rest of the morning. During this period, except for the apprentices being arranged to return to Keier-Tode Town to check the situation in the town, and Miss Yi Lai Se also coming once, no one left. After all, today is Sunday, and no one had anything that had to be left to deal with.

And the apprentices' round trips to the town also brought the situation in the city and the town to everyone. After the 【Pseudo-Human House】 disappeared, although the two human settlements were still on guard against the enemy, the enemy never appeared again.

Both Shi Lun City and Keier-Tode Town were currently counting the damage from this time. The church in the city sent people to the town to ask about the results of the All-Souls Festival ritual, and the town also had to divide up other manpower to go into the snowy mountains to find those missing mountaineering warriors.

Xia De was not sure whether it was the pseudo-humans or the demons that hindered the transmission of the fire to the Peak of Fate, and the mermen and water ghosts that appeared on the coastline also made him worry about whether his "old acquaintances" had started acting again.

Therefore, Ke Lai Er, Xi Wei, and Grandma Ka Shan De La's followers went to the mountain together with the people in the town to help search, which made Elder Ha La Er De rejoice again that he had called his granddaughter back this year.

Xia De did not participate in the search for the missing people, but watched the unicorns heal Ellie with everyone. Although the unicorns' body forms are different from humans, their dance in the snowy mountains is really very beautiful.

Fu Luo La even mentioned her interest in painting again, and Dan Ni Si Te, who had consumed a lot of energy due to participating in Xia De's Misuo, had also recovered after taking the snowy mountain water. During the unicorns' dance, she even discussed with Xia De whether to temporarily send Ellie to Saint Byron's to live with the academy's unicorns:

"It has suffered too many injuries on this island."

As the treatment progressed, the red on Ellie's fur became lighter and lighter. At first it was blood red, then it turned magenta, and then it turned into a faint pink—Xia De only had these three classifications for red.

The unicorns' unique spirit rippled around, making even the watching Xia De and the young ladies feel a sense of their souls being purified. It was just that Ellie, who was lying listlessly in the snow, only raised her head intermittently to look around during this process, but did not appear to have more spirit.

By 11:30 in the morning, when the "Unicorn Dance" ritual reached its final stage, it finally stood up on its own. Looking left and right at these strange peers who were dancing around it, it let out a soft cry, as if it were missing the past, and also as if it were expressing gratitude.

However, Ai Mi Li Ya translated:

"Ellie asked when the treatment would end, she is a bit hungry."

"Meow~"

The cat, which had already eaten the cat food fed by Xia De, also called out. Even though Xia De didn't understand cat language, he knew it was the same question.
