Chapter 3556: Believers of Tyranny

~10 min read 1,941 words

"Claire, what conclusion do you specifically want?"

"Besides being used to adjust destiny imbalance and element instability, does this ritual have any other functions?"

Audrey then understood:

"You are worried about this~ No, at least judging from the current materials, there is no other function."

Then she explained the key points and difficulties of the preliminary preparation work of the ritual to everyone, and made a reasonable speculation about the final holding of the ritual based on these materials:

"It is highly likely that the final ritual consists of one center and multiple branches. Both the center and the branches will arrange huge orchestras, each symbolizing different aspects of destiny.

As for the seven core musicians, they should be concentrated in the center of the island, which is the Peak of Destiny. And although the current materials only involve the island, according to my calculations, there should also be some arrangements in the surrounding waters. In this way, we can consider letting Xivi's mermaid friends help, they are also natural singers."

Then Audrey formulated a plan for the elders, telling everyone how to carry out every step of the preliminary preparation work of the ritual in an orderly manner. Claire watched Audrey writing and drawing on the small blackboard, and whispered to Xia De:

"Only at this time do I feel that she is not much different from before."

"Before" refers to before meeting Xia De, when they were a bit crazy because of the one body and two souls.

"Did she like to write and draw like this before?"

"Yes, she often pulled out a small blackboard in the parliament to explain knowledge or make plans for everyone. If we raised objections, she would become very paranoid. Although she wouldn't quarrel with everyone, she wouldn't talk to the witch she had a conflict with for several days."

Claire continued, and then unfortunately was heard by Audrey:

"Claire, listen carefully, don't be distracted!"

Miss Edwards looked at her a little unhappily, but now she would no longer lose her temper like a child—the sisters had already stepped on the ladder of adults.

Xia De thought that nothing would happen this afternoon, but at 2:30, with a familiar sound of "Ang~", Little Liana landed in the courtyard of the Snow Mountain Hall at a very fast speed. Because the speed was too fast when landing, it almost broke the door leading to the courtyard.

"What's wrong?"

Everyone who heard the sound went out to see, but only Little Liana returned. When it saw Xia De, it bit his clothes hem anxiously and pulled it outward. Even if no one here could understand the unicorn's language for the time being, everyone knew what this meant:

"What happened to them?"

So Xia De didn't care about any ritual, called Claire and Audrey, and flew to the snow mountain riding Little Liana.

The area where the two young girls played in the afternoon was the northern foot of the snow mountain, so Little Liana swept past the side of the snow mountain at a very fast speed. Audrey and Claire almost couldn't keep up with it.

The snow mountain water formed rivers and lakes at the foot of the snow mountain, and at the northern foot of the snow mountain, it formed a small waterfall, and below the waterfall was a small nameless lake.

Even if winter is the dry season, the scenery after the waterfall is frozen is still very beautiful. This is the destination of the girls in the afternoon.

And when Little Liana carried Xia De and saw the ice surface from a distance, several strangers Xia De didn't know were lying crookedly on the edge of the lake, while the little princess was protected behind Emilia, and together with Ellie, was confronting the black giant snake entrenched on the ice.

Along with them were three other strange Ringed Shushi Xia De didn't know, one high ring and two middle rings. Among them, the high-ring Ringed Shushi had snake skins floating beside him like Emilia, and they were fighting against that infinite snake together.

The situation was very pessimistic. Although the holder of the snake skin was the only person besides Xia De who could truly hurt the infinite snake, the evolution speed of the snake in front of him was obviously too fast. The power level it currently displayed had far exceeded the first infinite snake Xia De encountered, which was the power finally displayed by the revolver that turned into a snake in the "Revolver Murder Case."

The three strangers and the others on the ice should all be companions. Except for the high-ring Ringed Shushi, the other two did not have snake skins, so they did not cast spells on the snake that was spraying cold mist rashly, but held holy emblems to add buff states to the people fighting.

Layers of divine ritual bases constantly unfolded under their feet. Audrey almost recognized the background of these people at a glance:

"【Tyranny Club】! They are believers of the God of Tyranny. I knew they couldn't not appear during the negotiations between the two countries."

But now is not the time to settle accounts with the cultists, the infinite snake is the enemy of everyone.

Little Liana hadn't even landed yet, and Xia De jumped to the ground. Ellie raised her head and the shield supported by her horn was struggling to block the cold mist sprayed by the snake head, so Xia De held the moonlight greatsword that appeared out of thin air with both hands, and then slashed at the huge snake head.

With a clang~, it was as if the greatsword had slashed on hard steel. Xia De only felt his wrist go numb. While using space movement to dodge the snake head's counter-bite, he saw that there was only a gap slashed on the snake's body, and the wound was healing rapidly.

"So hard? It would be great if this snake could leave a corpse after death."

At the same time as landing, the buff states added by the cultists to the Ringed Shushi were also attached to Xia De's body. Believers of the 【God of Tyranny】 are famous for provoking war or creating national turmoil, and they are also particularly good at the means of war.

Even though Xia De had reached the high ring, he could still feel the growth of his own power from the "blessing" of the cultists, but along with it came the urge to destroy something in his heart.

Before Xia De appeared, only Emilia and the high-ring Ringed Shushi were attacking the giant snake, the middle-ring cultists were responsible for adding buff states, and Ellie was responsible for releasing shields.

But even without suffering attacks other than the snake skin holder, the snake's power was still increasing. After missing Xia De in the air, its huge body flexibly made a tail-swinging action.

The snake tail weighing several tons swung out the sound of a sonic boom against the ice counter-clockwise. The cultists, Emilia, and Ellie jumped up together. The little princess, whose reaction was not so fast, was grabbed by Claire in the air and flew up.

Her face was pale, holding the metal scepter, obviously frightened by the giant snake.

But Xia De had no time to comfort the birthday princess for the time being. He stood on the ice and didn't jump up to dodge with others, but took a deep breath, and while his body was rapidly growing, he reached out to the snake tail:

"Oath of Burning Body! Power of the Red Dragon!"

It was as if a giant dragon was roaring in the wind, and the subsequent booming sound was like an entire arsenal buried under the ice lake, and the arsenal happened to explode at this moment.

Ice crystals danced all over the sky, and the "giant" standing on the ice held the tail of the big snake. The raging flames spurted from his palm and ignited the entire giant snake, but the snake also took this opportunity to entwine the giant's body. The snake head raised in the scorching flames wanted to bite his neck, and then Xia De grabbed the snake head and sprayed a scarlet foul-smelling breath at the open snake mouth.

"The quality of the ice on this lake is a bit too good, right? It doesn't crack like this?"

Claire in the air was very surprised to see the giant and the snake fighting below. The little princess held by her explained:

"This snake was born from the ice surface that 'cannot be damaged.' After it was born, it touched the lake water, and the lake water froze again. Emilia said this is a talent that this snake had since birth."

The foul-smelling rot red mist quickly rotted the giant snake's flesh from the inside with Xia De's breath, but even though the snake body had even begun to leak, the snake still didn't die.

The frost froze the wound, the wound healed rapidly, and then Xia De, who was entwined by the giant snake, also began to freeze on his body surface. So with a bang~, the giant Xia De scattered into a large group of red butterflies. When the giant snake on the ice tried to find Xia De's trace, the giant falling from the sky smashed into the ice with silver-white thunder in his hand:

"Thunder Spear!"

Silver-white electric arcs scurried on the ice, and the giant snake wanted to raise its head but its whole body trembled and couldn't move. Xia De, who let the thunder spear explode in his hand, jumped to the high altitude again, but at this time his body had returned to its original state to facilitate spellcasting.

The spirit in his body was transformed into pure silver flames, and then appeared in his palm combined with moonlight. The palms of his hands were pressed together, and the silver light ball between his palms became brighter and brighter, even like a moon appearing in the daytime.

The silver light was pushed violently towards the ice below by him:

"Moonlight Ray - Second Form!"

The huge silver light ball dragged the light trail and hit the giant snake below with a loud noise. At this moment, it was as if the world had lost its color, leaving only that brilliant moonlight radiating light in the explosion.

Last time this move evaporated the fourth-stage pseudo-human in one blow, but this time Xia De, who was in good condition, was casting spells continuously. The radiated moonlight outputted continuously for a full five seconds. Emilia even felt that her sharp ears heard the sound of the ice surface breaking.

Finally, with the black light exploding in the silver moonlight, Xia De, who was panting, stopped the miracle:

"This thing is too hard to fight."

When he landed back on the ice with Claire, Emilia, and the two little unicorns, the giant snake's body had disappeared. But this infinite snake did not perish, but turned back into that piece of ice that could not be destroyed by any means.

Next, the holder of the snake skin needs to attack it continuously to finally eliminate it. This is also the only means currently available to completely eliminate the "infinite snake."

However, Xia De didn't take action immediately, but took out a small bottle of essence and took a sip. He felt he needed to slow down for a while.

As for Audrey, who came together, she had already cast a spell to catch the three people who tried to escape just now. ===== CHAPTER 3557 =====
