Chapter 3572

After a few seconds, the black figure resisting the joint attack of the three seemed to be frozen and stopped in the ice crystals condensed by the cold mists.

Xia De finally found the opportunity, and the moonlight accumulated between his palms and pushed forward suddenly:

"Moonlight Ray · Second Form!"

The immobile demon was finally hit head-on by Xia De's strongest blow this time, and was blown into fragments along with that ice crystal.

Flora turned into an owl again and landed on Xia De's shoulder, and Claire also came to Xia De's side. The three watched the fragments fall into the water one by one, and at the position where the ice crystal just shattered, only wisps of black mist were still circling.

"This is... won?"

Xia De believed that even if they couldn't completely kill the demon, this time at least it was seriously injured again. But what happened in the next second was something no one expected. In the black mist, a glowing white ring gradually appeared, and under the light of that ring, the black mist condensed into that figure wearing a black robe again.

It looked exactly the same as when it just appeared, as if all the injuries caused by Xia De and the witches didn't exist.

That white ring was not big, and it merged into the chest of its semi-materialized body after the demon reappeared. But it didn't disappear, but seemed to be embedded in its body.

Xia De looked at that ring incredibly, all his inspiration was reminding him what this was:

"Ring... of Destiny?!"

Low and hoarse laughter came from under the black robe. The demon of weapons seemed to really not be able to speak, only making such sounds.

That white ring was really a complete Ring of Destiny, but the problem is that the Ring of Destiny is not the destiny ring of a sorcerer, and it won't write what kind of power it has on it.

As if responding to Xia De's thoughts, Xia De's 【Destiny Manual】 appeared automatically. The star-blue big book unfolded, and "She" read the content for Xia De who was not convenient to turn his head:

【You witnessed the "Ring of Su Sheng," this is the destiny that gives new life again.】

【Destiny Interpretation: Although the dead cannot return, flowers bloom and wither, things are always constantly repeating in the cycle of decay and rebirth. Where there is failure, there is success, where there is death, there is the arrival of new life.】

【Effect: The holder of this destiny will return to the pre-battle state once defeated.】

If an ordinary person uses this kind of Ring of Destiny, there would probably be restrictions such as "can only be used once per battle," but Xia De instinctively felt that the evil spirit in front of him could probably activate the power of destiny infinitely.

"But how could it possess such a thing?"

The fact that Black Hand-Tifurong possessed the blood of the Demon King was already very tricky for Xia De and Dr. Schneider, and now it even possessed a complete destiny...

"Wait a minute, once the Ring of Destiny is integrated into the body of an existence, it can only be eliminated by completely killing this existence, or by imitating the way of dealing with Ring Beasts, beating it into serious injury to re-forge the destiny. But a demon that can resurrect at will is very difficult to be completely killed or beaten into serious injury... Is this demon in an invincible state?"

"The destiny of resurrection" is really too suitable for it, but "She" by the ear smiled gently:

【Destined Death can directly restrain the destiny of "Su Sheng," that is the end that is bound to come. Besides that, the power of the gods of the death system also restrains "Su Sheng." God is higher than destiny.】

Sister Daifulin is not here, Xia De does not have the power of so-called "Destined Death," but a certain old god gave him the power to make things die briefly or be sealed.

"Come again!"

Xia De greeted the witches to continue attacking the demon. It just resurrected, not became more powerful. Xia De could let it use the power of the Ring of Destiny once, and he could let it use it a second time.

Sure enough, after Claire realized that her power was unparalleled here, although the demon deliberately avoided her ice, it was still pierced by moonlight five minutes later.

The small coffin was thrown out by Xia De, and it turned into normal size before leaving his hand. The coffin flew towards the demon and just happened to buckle it at the moment the white ring glowed.

Xia De, who summoned the destiny ring, immediately activated 【True Death】:

"Coffin of the Underworld!"

The coffin imprisoned the black mist, black light, and that white ring inside, but just as the holy emblem was formed and the black skeleton was about to hug the coffin, bang~ the coffin was still blown up.

The demon rolled up that white ring and flew towards the deepest part of the underground water vein. None of the three chased, just threw a few attacks in its direction, and gave up when seeing no effect.

"Even if it has destiny, isn't it still restrained by me? This at least proves that the demon is not invincible."

Xia De said softly, and the owl on his shoulder flapped its wings and turned back into Flora:

"Should have let Xi Wei come, her power is very restraining to demons."

"You should say should have notified Sister Daifulin, Iluna, the Guardian of the Earth, that gentleman in Moon Bay, and the butterflies in advance. Flora, there is no need to regret such things."

Xia De said so, and then saw Claire close her eyes again and exit the state just now:

"The demon should have gone far, I can't sense it."

"Count it as running fast. As long as it doesn't use the power shown in the House of Pseudo-Humans, we can deal with it. However, where did that destiny come from? Did it find it itself, or is it really cooperating with Mr. Snake?"

Xia De looked at the darkness and said, and the witches couldn't answer this question either, but everyone had guesses:

"On this island, the only one who can take out the 'Ring of Destiny' is probably that big snake in the temple. The demon is probably really cooperating with Mr. Snake."

After a moment of silence, Claire said again:

"When I borrowed the power of the water vein just now, I felt something in the water, not under our feet, but about three hundred meters away."

She pointed downwards.

"Then go and see."

None of them were willing to directly touch the water surface, so the artist lady opened her mouth and spat out a big bubble to wrap the three, and then entered the water together.

"This miracle is very interesting, right? It was taught to me by her mermaid friend when I went to paint Xi Wei two years ago."

The underground water vein is quite deep. After falling more than ten meters, they saw the bottom. Claire was right, there was indeed something under the water vein. But that was not the pollution source left by the demon, but a damaged small stone shrine.

Most of the remains of the shrine were in the silt at the bottom of the water. Judging from the traces, this shrine had been damaged for at least fifty years, and it was naturally damaged by the erosion of the water flow, not the demon's handwriting.

"Could it be that this is also a measure related to the seal? A shrine in the depths of the underground water vein, used to stabilize the flow of the water vein as part of the seal?"

Flora asked Claire, Claire obviously didn't know:

"But judging from the stone material of the shrine, this doesn't look like such an old product at all. The earliest it can be traced back to is the Fifth Era."

She was right, because subsequently, what was originally enshrined in the shrine was found out from the silt, and a pure gold small bottle buried under the remains of the shrine was also found together.

What was found in the silt was a gold coin with a shape Xia De was exceptionally familiar with. One side was the holy emblem of the Old God-God of Gambling 【Noisy Black Hunter】, and the other side was the symbol with the number "1" in the standing playing card.

It had been a long time since Xia De played the "Game of Life" with Mr. Riddle in the Terror Castle with this god. He didn't expect to see the holy emblem of this god again.

"Pure Creator, Lord of Walls, Gambler's Coin, three coins."

The church of this god had long since dissipated. Although there are still some holy emblems of this god enshrined in underground casinos in modern times, that is a rare thing.

As for that small bottle, it was just an ordinary item. After opening the bottle, a rolled silk was hidden inside. There should have been words on the silk, but at this time only blurred ink marks remained.

"The bottle didn't leak, how did the handwriting disappear?"

Xia De was very puzzled, and Claire explained:

"It should be related to these waters. Since these waters can even dissolve corpses, I am afraid that the water veins in the depths of the underground can also dissolve information... I am not particularly clear, just had some vague insights after communicating with the power of the water vein just now.

When the shrine still existed, the handwriting might not fade, but after the shrine was damaged, they disappeared."

"It doesn't matter, I'll reverse time to restore it."

Flora asked curiously:

"In the forest, your ability to reverse time couldn't affect such a long time, right? The time the shrine was damaged should exceed the limit of your miracle."

"Arranged some rituals recently and got some good things."

He took out a wooden tube from his pocket, and then poured out silver glowing sand from it. Because the ritual was not arranged for too long, the amount he stored was not much. This time, he poured out all the sand in the wooden tube:

"Moon Ash, can enhance time ability."

Xia De said, letting Flora pull the edge of the silk to fully unfold it, and he blew gently, letting the silver sand in his palm attach to the surface of the silk.

Then he took a deep breath:

"Breath of Years."

Usually, it should be gray airflow entering his nasal cavity, but this time what surged from the surface of the silk was silver-white mist. Claire and Flora both felt that it was like thin mist lingering under the moon, and like the smoke and dust of the moon itself. This is not pure time power. This time, the moon also played a role.

The handwriting on the silk slowly re-emerged with Xia De's spellcasting, but when the time reversal stopped, the handwriting was still quite light, and a few places were also missing letters.

The amount of "Moon Ash" was still not enough, but fortunately, it no longer affected reading.
