Chapter 3673

With a soft hum, the pure silver halo spread outward circle after circle.

When the radiance of the silver moon touched those gray time-frozen zones, the fish-men and water ghosts frozen within them were like being scalded by hot oil. Their body surfaces continuously rotted until the rotten flesh melted piece by piece into foul-smelling pus, and finally only the skeletons remained in place.

But some water ghosts and fish-men still barely maintained their normal physical forms under the scouring of the moonlight, only they could not break free from that gray time-frozen domain no matter what.

Although Xia De closed his eyes, his perception was not limited, so while he continued to cast the spell, he also heard the reminder from the blonde "sorceress":

"More things are coming. I can... the power of calamity, there are snakes wandering over."

"It's okay, you don't have a snake slough, don't act rashly. Help me protect Ellie. Grace, Helen, clear the field first."

"Yes, sir!"

Large swarms of red butterflies emerged from Xia De's shadow like a tide, but Adele Isabella observed carefully and found that the edges of the wings of those red butterflies had a circle of silver edges with a very familiar color.

The red butterflies spread to all directions of the island and were finally detonated along with a creepy and eerie girl's laughter.

The red mist with extremely strong curse, death corrosion, and space-cutting power permeated the entire sea area. After precisely avoiding the few snakes lurking under the water, it dissolved every enemy lurking in the black waves into scarlet seawater.

The red mist drifted around Xia De, and Xia De's shadow under the moon at this moment did not show his own appearance, but a pair of sisters holding hands. Although she knew whose power this was, the thirteenth-tier Great Witch still felt that this scene was incredibly creepy.

The appearance of the red mist expanded Xia De's perception range, and with the help of the characteristic of the magic 【Bright Moon Perception】 to strengthen the perception ability under the moon, Xia De could know everything within a three-mile radius centered on the island.

Therefore, he "saw" that in the seabed under the sea, many water ghosts waiting to be revived were still buried. The toxins secreted by the giant snake teeth into the seabed made their bodies become incredibly deformed. He also saw three fully formed Infinite Snakes swimming around the island.

As for the root of all this—

Xia De turned and looked to the southeast. The black tide surged and lifted a "mermaid." Its upper body was in the appearance of Valentine Halonin, while its lower body was in the posture of an incredibly filthy mermaid tail.

There was no need to say where this power came from, and the woman who appeared lifted by the seawater also sarcastically said without any politeness:

"Look at you, I originally thought you were a very decent person, but why are you using the power of humanoid relics now? And I can see that this is not just a simple use of relics; you and them are in a state of deep fusion. Look at your terrible appearance now, such a deep fusion..."

She covered her mouth and laughed:

"If you were just simply using them or were friends, I wouldn't believe it. Yes, I can see through your desires, and I can also see her feelings for you, so pure and fiery, so long and distant.

Tell me about it, handsome sir, what exactly did you do to the humanoid relics?"

The "sorceress" on the side twitched her eyebrows, and Ellie, who was protected behind her, let out a threatening cry at the "mermaid" in the waves.

"Now I understand. My temptations toward you have never worked all along; it turns out it was because of this reason. It turns out what you like isn't human girls, it turns out you like this kind of..."

Grace, who appeared out of thin air behind her, reached out and patted the back of its head. The shattered space directly sucked in a small half of the "mermaid's" body.

"Ran away, but still nearby."

Grace's emotionless voice entered Xia De's ears in the increasingly dense red mist, followed by the remaining part of the corpse being completely corroded into pus by the red mist.

And the appearance of these extremely dangerous red mists with whispering elements even made the Ringed Shushi led by Ms. Ingram, the 【Nightmare Witch】 of the Nature Church who had just arrived, think that these red mists were the enemy's handiwork.

The number of Ringed Shushi who came here was only twenty or so, but each of them had at least a tenth-tier level. In addition to the Church's Ringed Shushi and the high-tier prophets of the Society, the team from Saint Byron's also followed and came here.

The 【Red Moon Witch】 Danister certainly recognized what power this was at a glance. She looked toward the center of the red mist, and although her eyes couldn't see, she inexplicably perceived Xia De's existence:

"It's the God-Awakener. It seems he arrived early. Deploy the 【Veil of Haze】, end the problem here as soon as possible; other places also need the power of this relic."

The flat wooden box held by a Ringed Shushi in a black robe was opened, and then the gray, shiny rectangular fabric unfolded like flowing water. When it was tossed high into the sky, the fabric, which was originally only the size of a cloak, quickly grew larger until it completely covered the night sky.

The gray fabric quickly eroded the surrounding space, but it did not isolate the nearby sea area from the surrounding space; instead, it dragged the space eroded by the 【Veil of Haze】 toward the ambiguous area where life and death overlapped.

Affected by this power, the water ghosts on the seabed, even in a state not yet awakened, still actively woke up. But fortunately, the dead bodies and fish-men lurking on the seabed outside the wider sea area were no longer under the control of the "mermaid" Halonin for the time being due to the interval between life and death.

The water ghosts near the island surfaced, and what greeted them was the magic bombardment of the Ringed Shushi. Even though they were implanted with the destiny of destruction and doomsday, they were still directly beaten back under the water surface in the first wave of attacks, followed by the lethal magic spells fully released by the two thirteenth-tier sorcerers:

"Red Moon Fall!"

"Nightmare Descent!"

And in the center of this red mist where life and death overlapped, the three black snakes that appeared had also officially engaged with Xia De. The special environment of life and death hindered the transmission of sound. The three giant snakes swam from three directions to the shore of the island and lunged at Xia De, who was surrounded in the center, but were simultaneously pierced by three long swords:

"Blade of Disordered Time!"

After reaching a high tier, every time Xia De swung the long sword in his hand using this magic spell that had accompanied him from a low tier, three figures that looked exactly the same would overlap with him and strike in different directions.

Even though the sound of the long sword breaking through the air was almost completely suppressed, the swaying silver light and the shining golden runes still made the center of the red mist incredibly blurry.

"Time power for close-quarters combat, huh~"

The blonde "sorceress" watched his fighting figure with some appreciation, then realized that this was definitely not a magic spell that "she" had taught him, so she became suspicious of whether Xia De had other teachers of time power.

She waited on the side to help, although she couldn't cast spells directly on the Infinite Snakes, she could still help Xia De by accelerating, pausing, or slowing down the time flow of the surrounding environment through time power.

But it seemed that even facing three Infinite Snakes at the same time, it was not a very dangerous thing for Xia De. Without the characteristic of "infinite evolution," as long as he was careful not to be directly bitten and injected with venom, these snakes couldn't even be called evil objects to Xia De.

The three snakes had undergone a certain degree of evolution before appearing, and each had relatively eerie abilities. But the purple light mark on the back of Xia De's hand was hidden in the silver sword light. Not long after the Church opened the curtain of life and death, all three snakes were shrouded in that inexplicable white steam mist.

Ms. Sabel and Ellie were also shrouded in that steam mist. The witch certainly wouldn't know what the little unicorn felt, but she tangibly felt that Xia De's powerful soul power shrouded the space where the island was located. This feeling was almost like Xia De's soul wrapping itself around her.

And the destiny ring that smashed down afterward turned the three defeated Infinite Snakes into black arcs. When the steam mist dissipated, Xia De looked at the black arcs he held high, feeling that he had obtained a bit too many of these arcs recently.

However, the battle was not over yet. After the surrounding steam mist and red mist dissipated, the stars and moon in the night sky had disappeared due to the deployment of that curtain.

Under the pitch-black sky, the sea surface also became calm. The teams led by Danister and Ms. Ingram had completely suppressed the water ghosts and fish-men infected by the snake-transformation plague back to the seabed, but the key to this battle was of course not the plague-infected or those snakes.

Below the pitch-black sea surface, a huge black shadow was swimming rapidly around the "island" where Xia De was located. Where the shadow passed, the seawater bubbled with black bubbles, as if it had been transformed into some kind of highly toxic liquid.

It did not immediately rush out of the water, but gradually moved away from the island, trying to find the edge of this world in the crack between life and death. But the power of an angel-level relic could not be broken in a short time. After determining that its body could not make any soul and spiritual connection with the outside world here, it summoned the remaining fish-men and water ghosts on the seabed to gather toward it.

Slender black shadows gathered rapidly toward the eastern edge of this world, and finally seemed to merge with that largest black shadow.

The Ringed Shushi tried to stop them, but the black seawater bubbling with bubbles severely hindered the power of their magic and divine arts.

At this moment, it was very unwise to rush into the water, so the group of twenty or so people came to the island and rendezvoused with Xia De, who was standing with the unicorn and the sorceress.

Danister looked at Ms. Sabel curiously and asked in Xia De's heart using telepathy:

"The boundary between life and death has been opened, so when will the Silver Moon appear in the sky?"
