Chapter 3601: Ring of War
Confirming the enemy's death, Xi Wei and Fan Ni Sha finally let out a sigh of relief. Smiles appeared on the witches' faces, and then they looked at Xiao Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya standing on Ai Li's back.
Ai Li didn't seem to be somewhat afraid of this cat like little Li An Na, and the cat didn't seem to be bullying the little unicorn either. Having experienced the Battle of Moon Bay, they certainly guessed that the "Sun" just now was Xiao Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya, just not knowing how to open their mouths to ask at this moment.
The story of how the gods of the Fifth Era gave the stars, and how the stars in turn came from the Moon Goddess, is simply too complex, and Xia De did not want to stand here explaining it.
"Alright, that's about it, let's go down and see the situation."
Finally, Xi Wei stayed by the pit edge to wait for others, while Xia De and Fan Ni Sha jumped into the large pit that was still emitting smoke.
It actually wasn't particularly deep; the snow mountain's bearing capacity was clearly quite strong. It was just because this pit was too huge that jumping into it would create the illusion of being very far from the top.
The burned enemy was of course located at the very center of the large pit, which was also the position where the silver-blue light was brightest in the entire giant pit.
Xia De was worried that the enemy's power would pollute the snow mountain, but fortunately, his worry was completely superfluous, because they finally only found a few pieces of pure silver-blue ore at the center of the large pit. Those ores were almost like materialized starlight; these were true "Star Fragments."
And after continuing to dig, Xia De found a glowing star-blue ring further below the center of the giant pit. Inside that beautiful luster, there were even silver dots of light flickering. Besides this, nothing else was left of this enemy.
"Oh!"
Fan Ni Sha looked at the ring picked up by Xia De and sighed softly, on one hand marveling at its beauty, and on the other hand marveling at the wondrous power contained within it:
"This is that..."
"Yes, Ring of Fate - War. This is the first complete ring we have obtained."
But Fan Ni Sha didn't understand:
"Didn't you not forge it yet? And no one else came here in advance, it was just by the sun... besides using the Fate Rings of Ringed Ringed Shushi to forge fate, the sun's great power can also forge fate, is that it?"
Xia De couldn't answer this question either. He actually tended more toward the sun's power being too powerful, to the point that it burned everything outside the ring until only those few pieces of ore were left:
"Let's study it slowly later. I'm just somewhat regretful; I really thought I could obtain the 【Star】 Spirit Rune by relying on this opportunity just now, but it was still a little bit off. What I used just now was clearly the power of stars."
"Actually, you were mostly using the power of the moon to manipulate the power of stars just now."
Bei La, who had come to their side, said. It seemed everyone else had arrived too.
The Countess of Moon Bay also looked curiously at the ring in Xia De's hand:
"Is this the complete Ring of Fate? It's truly beautiful. So, holding the complete ring, can you feel any special power?"
Xia De shook his head, staring at the ring in his hand somewhat distractedly.
The young ladies who arrived later assisted Xia De in conducting a more careful inspection of this impact pit on the snow mountain. Xia De was worried that the demon's power would remain here, but in the end, everyone's conclusion was that besides the ring and those few pieces of ore, there was nothing here.
"Those ores are extremely likely to be the main body of the Star-Beast, the core of the star fragments that fell back then. I think besides these things, nothing could exist under the sun's great power. Don't forget, the sun's supreme power is the most restraining to evil."
This was the opinion of Yi Lu Na, who came later to check the situation. Everyone agreed, and they all praised Yi Lu Na's "Star-Shattering Strike" just now. From the perspective of expressive power, that strike wasn't inferior to Xia De's final imitation of the moon phase to "extinguish" the stars.
"Perhaps, later you will get titles like 'Yi Lu Na Who Shatters Stars' or 'Star-Shatterer Yi Lu Na'."
Mei Gen even laughed and said this to Yi Lu Na. The eighteen-year-old girl stood under the starry sky feeling quite embarrassed, but the smile on her face never disappeared. Xia De, however, felt that a title like "Star-Shatterer" didn't sound as good as "Punishing Evil Thunder."
However, standing on the edge of the giant pit on the snow mountain, watching the witches and Yi Lu Na chatting wantonly because of the relaxation after the battle, watching Ai Mi Li Ya, who was somewhat exhausted but still worriedly hugged Ai Li's neck, being praised by everyone, and watching the "majestic" cat watching all this under the starlight just like him, Xia De felt relaxed for the first time in a long while.
Miss Ge Er De was very right; he indeed should occasionally stop and look at the starry sky, and they were his stars.
Finally, Xia De, who was still uneasy, had the nuns of 【Snake Heart Hospital】 contact Sister Sister Daifulin, having Sister Sister Daifulin summon the First Fire to thoroughly burn this black giant pit, even letting the flames drill into the soil below the deep pit.
The result was of course that there was no demon power existing here at all, but Sister Sister Daifulin had other gains. After the First Fire burned, the light in the pit became much weaker. The nun asked Xia De:
"After turning the remains of the Star-Beast into firewood and burning it, ashes were produced again. Do you intend to turn them into a weapon or power?"
After the First Fire upgraded last time, it possessed the characteristic of converting the ashes produced after burning firewood into weapons or power. Xia De had turned the "Evil Object - Heartless Worm" into 【Freezing Ray】 when he first arrived on this island.
"Remains? In this pit?"
"It's that starlight; this is the main body of the Star-Beast. The Ring of Fate only involves fate, while stars are starlight."
Sister Sister Daifulin said, and gave her own suggestion:
"Whether you choose power or a weapon, after adding the star fragments you just found, they will be very powerful."
"Star fragments?"
Those ores were being studied by Ke Lai Er. Seeing Xia De look over, she handed the ores over, but Sister Sister Daifulin only took one piece. After a light touch, the ore was swallowed by flames.
"Sister, do you need..."
"Power or weapon?"
The witches on the side were all snickering, so Xia De had to say:
"I already have 【Trace of Stars】 for a starlight weapon, let's go with power."
"Good, please come to the sacrificial grounds to find me tomorrow night."
She said this and disappeared into the flames, as if using the flames to perform spatial movement. This kind of skillful technique was something the past Sister Sister Daifulin didn't have; she had indeed stepped closer to the threshold of the Thirteenth Ring step by step.
However, Xia De, who was still somewhat uneasy, waited until Elder Ha La Er De and Elder Wei Er Da also went up the mountain, and after the elders clearly stated that the snow mountain was not polluted, he brought everyone back down the mountain.
Of course, the witches left some manpower around the giant pit to continue surveying and recording geological changes. Ke Lai Er said that deeper in this giant pit, there should be star-light ores similar to those behind the tomb passage, while Fan Ni Sha believed that this kind of impact pit produced after star collisions was very valuable.
Only after the Church's Ringed Ringed Shushi and the prophets arrived would the witches' manpower withdraw.
"This starlight will probably not go out for hundreds of years. Future Ringed Ringed Shushi can come here to try to perceive the power of stars."
Yi Lu Na didn't go back with everyone; she still had to return to the church to report the situation. However, she was in a very good mood tonight. She handed the fragment of the spear that had lost its power to Xia De, and after a light hug with Xia De, she flew toward the direction of the city.
When Xia De arrived at the town, the snow mountain hall was still lit. The other three great elders gathered here, and seeing that everyone had returned safely from the mountain, they finally let out a sigh of relief.
Elder Ha La Er De and Elder Wei Er Da introduced the situation to them, while Xia De came to the front of Miss Ai Si Bo Ge and Mr. Mo Ti Si.
【Winter Hymn Choir】 this time was only to help Si Dai La. After Xia De simply described the situation of the deep pit on the snow mountain and knew the matter was over, they were relieved.
As for Mr. Mo Ti Si:
"I have already obtained the reward after the conclusion of this story."
Although the "Ring of War" hadn't shattered yet, the power of the stars had been thoroughly consumed by the power of the sun and the First Fire, so the story had already reached its end. The dice obtained from shattering the Ring of War counted as an extra reward; at this moment, Mr. Mo Ti Si was talking about the basic reward after completing each act of the story.
Mr. Mo Ti Si took out his brass-colored twenty-sided die from the snake skin in front of Xia De. The number on the die was strikingly 50-69; this was already a quite high number. After all, although he participated in this story, he had made no contribution to finding the Star-Beast.
Following that, 【Winter Hymn Choir】 and 【Clown Troupe】 left separately. Having been busy for a day, everyone needed to rest. Miss Ai Si Bo Ge would still come to the town recently, on one hand to discuss the ownership of that long-handled hammer, and on the other hand, the connection between the Fatuman people and the Extreme North tribes couldn't be treated as if it didn't exist.
And before this lady left, Xia De gave her one of the "Star Fragments" he had just discovered, but Miss Ai Si Bo Ge didn't accept such a "reward":
"What do you mean by this?"
And when Xia De returned to the ship, the time was eight o'clock that night. After all, it was just completely dark when the falling stars and Ai Mi Li Ya broke the space of the Astral Realm fragment.
Dan Ni Si Te was waiting for Xia De on the ship. She had been rational enough not to take action when the Thirteenth Ringers took action to block the falling stars just now, but instead stayed on the ship to protect the *Radiant Messenger*. At this moment, she said to Xia De with great gratification:
"My student is indeed much more excellent than the teacher's student."
This was praise for Xia De utilizing the posture symbolizing moon phases she had demonstrated in the morning to cast the spell.
Besides Lu Wei Ya and Yi Lu Na, all the young ladies in the Fatumanst Island area were gathered on the ship at this time. The ship girl had already arranged dinner waiting for everyone. Those who went out didn't have time to eat dinner, while the young ladies waiting for everyone's return had just been in no mood to eat dinner.
Looking at the long table that was full of people again, Xia De was also quite happy. Although the troubles on this island were far from being completely resolved, at least at this moment, they were worthy of such a celebration. ===== CHAPTER 3602 =====
