Chapter 3621: Soul-Calling Dust

~10 min read 1,981 words

Since the methods of this ninth-ring woman, who looked very powerful, were ineffective, Xia De was not polite. Without the obstruction of those annoying threads, he turned into moonlight again, and this time directly pierced through the woman's body.

But when the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi, who was slashed into four pieces, fell to the ground, the corpse turned into a large group of black threads and scattered into the snow.

"Not the body?"

"It should be some kind of incarnation ability, it wasn't the body from the beginning."

Flora, who fell from the air, said. As for Claire, she had already tracked the evil cultists who were let go, and should bring back results soon.

As for the 【Bad Luck Wolf Pack】, they didn't leave after the two groups of humans fought. Instead, they stood together watching the humans fight each other. The spiritual, dark blue eyes contained some emotions that humans couldn't read. And at this moment, after all the evil cultists of the 【Bad Luck Cult】 left, they still didn't leave, standing on the high place of the snowfield and continuing to watch Xia De.

The bodies of the wolves in the wolf pack appeared translucent and milky white, faintly glowing in the blizzard night. The one surrounded in the center was obviously the "Alpha Wolf." It looked at Xia De and licked its paws. Xia De hesitated for a moment, then turned into a silver wolf in the snow.

The owl spread its wings and flew high, seeing the Alpha Wolf of the wolf pack break away from its companions and walk toward the Xia De wolf in the high altitude.

The Alpha Wolf was at least three times larger than the silver wolf with beautiful fur. The two wolves stopped at a distance of two meters from each other in the snow. The silver wolf was glowing, and that spiritual wolf was also glowing.

Flora originally thought that both wolves would howl a few times, but they seemed to just look at each other and glow. After about two minutes, the spiritual wolf with a larger size took the initiative to turn and leave, gathered with its remaining companions, and ran toward the depths of the snowy night.

"What's the situation?"

The owl landed on Xia De's shoulder again. Xia De withdrew his gaze from the direction where the wolf pack disappeared:

"I just remembered that after my last time adventure ended, because of some reasons, my transformation form is now equivalent to my body. So, I thought if I were a wolf, would these wolves be more polite to me."

Miss Owl, standing on Xia De's shoulder, said very rationally:

"But people who have become relics didn't treat humans differently because of racial reasons... Grace and Helen are exceptions to you."

"I originally had such worries, but the Alpha Wolf was quite friendly to me just now. I always feel that it didn't treat me as an ordinary wolf... However, most relics don't have the ability to communicate with normal creatures at all. Just now you saw it glowing, but in fact, it was stuffing its own whisper elements and spirits into me."

And the spirit itself contains information.

"The wolf pack wants to thank us. The information it shared with me is quite mixed. The general meaning is that the humans just now wanted to use their power to find someone."

Xia De cast a spell to collect the polluted spiritual dust that the evil cultists couldn't take away from the snow. No matter how strong the wind was, it couldn't blow them away. The essence of spiritual dust is the soul, and only the soul can touch them.

Xia De asked:

"You know a strange secret method that can summon the souls in the dust, right?"

Flora is the Great Witch of Death, she is too familiar with this:

"Of course I know. This is the core ability of the branch of necromancers - soul callers, and it is one of the few legal soul research directions in modern times. However, the Church still prohibits any behavior of summoning humans, elves, dwarves, and other humanoid creatures and binding their souls as summons, and summoning the souls of beasts usually doesn't have much combat effectiveness... So the evil cultists had this idea."

"Yes, contacting this kind of spiritual body will cause the invasion of bad luck, but the believers of bad luck have ways to deal with bad luck. The Alpha Wolf just now said that since we saved them, it allows us to use the power of these soul dusts. Now these soul dusts no longer have the bad luck curse of the wolf pack."

A total of 8 wolves were killed. When they arrived, 3 portions of spiritual dust had already been taken away by the evil cultists. At this time, 5 portions remained.

"If there is no accident, the believers of bad luck should want to use the power of the wolf pack to find that woman."

Flora became interested:

"This matter is left to me. I can also call souls. Although I only called some fierce beasts to protect myself when I was a weak apprentice, as a master of necromancy who has been to death, I dare to call the spirits of relics."

After arriving at Fatumunster Island, she always felt that she didn't seem to be able to play a big role in this story, which made Flora, who had been running around with Xia De in Vesta Woodland for a whole autumn last year, very uncomfortable.

"However, I haven't heard that 【Bad Luck Wolf Pack】 can be used to find things before."

"Be careful when you test, after all, it is the remnant of a relic."

Xia De warned. The two waited for a while, and Claire also returned from the wind and snow. She brought back a lot of interesting information:

"Those evil cultists who escaped gathered in the west and then left directly. I followed them all the way. Do you know what I found? The ninth-ring woman just now is the candidate supported by the believers of bad luck."

Xia De was not surprised by this. Being able to manipulate the threads made by Angel-level relics to that extent was not something ordinary Ring Warlocks could do.

"They didn't talk much along the way, just complaining about being pulled out for missions in this weather, and then complaining that the woman never left the base herself, just using incarnations to come forward, but they had to run around so hard, and face attacks at any time.

I originally planned to see where their hiding place on the island was, but there were too many Ring Warlocks coming to meet them, and Xia De also said there was no need to conflict with them, so I didn't continue to follow.

However, I heard their purpose. They want to use the power of the wolf pack to explore the trajectory of fate on the island. This sounds very abstract. The general meaning is that the wolf pack that spreads bad luck is very sensitive to fate, and after the big defeat of the Star-Falling Beast incident, those believers of bad luck are making two-handed preparations.

On the one hand, they continue to participate in the story, and on the other hand, they try to search for possible arcs or even Rings of Fate on the island. They seem to think that there must be other ways to obtain arcs or Rings of Fate on the island, and they hope to gain more dice."

"So you aren't looking for that woman after all... But Xia De has been on this island for so long, and the only Ring he has obtained locally is deep under the sea. Is there really solidified fate on this island?"

Flora was very skeptical about this, while Xia De proposed another possibility:

"There wasn't before, but there might be now. The chaos of the elements has caused many strange and bizarre things to appear on the island. Perhaps some relics or even more eerie existences truly possess solidified fate. Since the wolf pack carrying bad luck has appeared, I fear more terrifying things will continue to encounter us."

"Flora, you must be very careful when using those spirit dusts to summon the wolf pack. Even if you find clues, you must investigate them together with others; absolutely do not act alone."

"Xia De, the one who acts alone the most seems to be you, right?"

They did not continue to linger in the snowy night, returning to the village to report their safety to the village chief and the priest before heading back to the ship. Although the intelligence gathered during this outing was vague, it at least confirmed the identity of the candidate for the Bad Luck Sect.

Although it is indeed troublesome that the opponent does not appear in their true form, counter-attacking the main body through clones or avatars is not an uncommon tactic.

However, the night was already deep, and Xia De did not discuss these matters further with the witches. After saying goodbye to everyone, he somewhat exhaustedly threw the crystal shoe and returned home. There were no snowflakes in the night of Tobesk, and the city, filled with slowly drifting smog, remained peaceful.

The cozy home was lit with reassuring lights, and Dorothy was waiting at home for Xia De's return. When he crossed the stairs and reached the second floor, the blonde, blue-eyed young lady was standing in front of the fireplace, smiling at him:

"Welcome home, Xia De. You've worked hard today."

The comfort of the young ladies could always make Xia De shed his exhaustion, and this was especially true for Dorothy.

So, when he woke up on Wednesday morning, the Outsider was once again full of energy, ready to welcome a brand new day. He praised Dorothy's cooking at the breakfast table, thinking about the past and the future, and in his heart, he truly looked forward to the day when he could rest completely after everything was over.

And the intelligence brought by Luweiya yesterday was indeed accurate. Early this morning, the Church sent people braving the snow to Kael-Todd Town, inviting the "God-Awakener" to the city to discuss some matters:

"It is not out of disrespect to the God-Awakener, but we have obtained some key intelligence. For the sake of information security, we must ask the God-Awakener to personally make a trip to the city."

This was also within expectations, so this time Claire and Vanessa followed Xia De, and the three of them left the town together with the team that had come to invite Xia De.

Xiwei, on the pier, watched their departing backs, standing on the deck of the large ship with a heavy heart.

Although it was still snowing today, the snow had lessened quite a bit; it seemed the severe weather was finally coming to a temporary end. At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Miss Yi Luna came to the side of the Great Witch of Light:

"A bit unwilling, are you?"

The Ship Girl had spent a long time with Xiwei, so Xiwei did not mind revealing her inner thoughts to this good friend:

"Of course I'm unwilling. Besides Miss Jia Lin Na, I clearly came the earliest... If I could be strong enough, the one going out with him now would be me."

The dragon tail behind the Ship Girl swept across the deck; she was curious how the other party could have such thoughts:

"Not strong enough? Xiwei, so what exactly is your goal?"

Such a blunt question made even the Great Witch, who had had many relatively intimate contacts with Xia De, feel a bit embarrassed:

"Does that even need asking? Of course, it's... to be even closer to Xia De."
