Chapter 3674

~10 min read 1,898 words

The world of the boundary between life and death constructed by the angel-level relic 【Veil of Haze】 was far from reaching the level of the 【Narrow Gap of Life and Death】, and it was also somewhat inferior compared to ordinary boundaries of life and death. This was very likely due to the suppression of Sister Dac Nisi's power.

Xia De answered under that completely pitch-black sky:

"This world needs to be closer to death for me to make the half-submerged Silver Moon reveal a phantom. Don't discuss this for now; there seems to be other destinies on the Lustful One here."

The world where life and death intersect certainly had an impact on the living. Although the Ringed Shushi here were generally of a high level, Xia De still needed to pay attention to Ellie's situation.

However, Ellie also seemed to be only initially uncomfortable with this world. Now that the relic's effect had stabilized, its whole body bloomed with pure white light, standing majestically behind Xia De as if it wanted to do something big.

And after gathering enough shadows from the seabed, that huge mermaid shadow finally broke through the water surface after the Ringed Shushi rendezvoused.

There shouldn't have been any weather changes here, but black raindrops were falling with a pitter-patter at this moment. Even though the world at this moment suppressed all sounds, when that twenty-meter-tall "mermaid" stood under the pitch-black night sky, the violent screeching sound still made Xia De feel his ears ache.

The "mermaid" was not as beautiful as Xia De imagined. Its entire lower body, the fish tail part, had completely rotted, and even under those pustules and corpse spots, one could vaguely see white bones.

As for the upper body belonging to a human, although there was no clothing covering it, there was no feeling of charm either. Filthy and dirty black snake scales were unevenly distributed on its body, and those snake scales, if looked at carefully, were clearly pieced together from the twisted limbs of the fish-men and water ghosts that had just been manipulated.

Black raindrops fell on the glowing Ellie and immediately emitted black smoke. The world at the boundary of life and death was being corroded by another extremely terrifying power, and then slid toward complete death.

Xia De's eyes looked at the part below the neck of the giant "mermaid." Black light formed an inverted arc there. Even without touching that arc, the power displayed by the "corpse mermaid" at this moment already explained what kind of destiny that arc represented:

"Death Arc."

Xia De reminded the people around him:

"Is it a coincidence that it possesses the Death Arc just where the 【Veil of Haze】 is deployed? Although the relic interrupted its spiritual connection with the outside, it also strengthened the power of death... Beware of instant-death abilities."

"Is it just an arc?"

The 【Nightmare Witch】 confirmed to Xia De, and Xia De nodded very firmly:

"Yes. Speaking of which, the seven locations this time will probably all have different arcs, but this at least shows that even that snake cannot produce seven different rings of destiny."

The long hair of the "mermaid" dancing in the black rain was clearly black snakes. And after it officially appeared, hundreds of giant snakes transformed from long hair aimed at the ground below, and then black rays swept toward here.

The emerald green shield formed by the divine art light of the Nature Church immediately blocked these dense black lights. And before the second round of attacks arrived, Danister and Ms. Ingram, the 【Nightmare Witch】, flew toward the high sky against the black rain. The Red Moon was held up by Ms. Administrator and fell downward again, while the black nightmare transformed into a solid body. A nightmare summon that was almost the same size as the giant "mermaid" appeared in the rain.

Xia De felt no matter how he looked at it that it looked like the "Curse-Eroded Tree" that had appeared in the Vesta Forest.

Pitch-black giant snakes appeared in the black seawater. While the two thirteenth-tier sorceresses were entangled with the giant mermaid in the air, they engaged with the other Ringed Shushi. The black tide reflected the colors of various magic spells, and the torrential rain poured on their bodies. The entire battlefield had the feeling of a disaster story.

"No time to delay, death is also our home field. Grace, Helen, merge with me, I need your power. This is not the real world, it doesn't matter how much damage is caused."

"No problem, sir."

The shadow of the twins holding hands re-entered Xia De's body, and Ms. Sabel asked before he acted:

"Is there anything I can do?"

"Can you accelerate time and let me reach a higher position in a short time?"

The sorceress, who used unknown power to make all the raindrops around her disappear, smiled:

"Of course I can, then, please hold my hand."

She grabbed Xia De's hand with one hand and hugged Xia De's waist with the other, as if she were going to dance with him. Then, after a short few seconds as seen from the outside, Xia De was sent to a higher place in the pitch-black night sky by the sorceress who had accelerated herself.

Here, one couldn't even distinguish the specific position of that hundred-meter-tall mermaid, and could only lock onto this target based on perception.

"No problem now, leave the rest to me."

Xia De held the 【Night Watcher】 with his right hand, pure silver moonlight attached to the sword body until a shell of a silver moonlight greatsword was constructed outside the long sword.

A red moonlight greatsword appeared in his left hand, and the light of the red butterfly sisters attached to the sword. The blonde "sorceress" clearly saw the light shadow of a butterfly appear on that two-handed greatsword.

"Are you going to use the power of the falling star?"

Ms. Sabel asked, she seemed to really know everything.

Xia De shook his head:

"Even if the current position is high enough, it's still too reluctant to directly defeat the opponent with this magic spell. I have been thinking about the linkage effects between different magic spells, and now I want to try a new idea."

Two moonlight greatswords, each possessing the power of different top-tier angel-level relics, were held in his hands, one left and one right. Then the two forearms crossed in front of his chest, and finally the two arms changed to a high-held posture:

"Moonlight Slash · Fourth Form!"

In an instant, a moonlight great cross composed of red and silver arcs swooped downward. Ms. Sabel flew downward to catch up, and therefore she clearly saw the critical transformation of the falling "Moonlight Slash" in the air.

"Magic Spell - Falling Star Strike!"

The requirement for this magic spell was that it could only be cast by the main body when falling downward, and the fourth form of the Moonlight Slash was indeed transformed by Xia De's main body.

The magic spell was cast quite smoothly, but the falling two-colored moonlight great cross did not transform into a star form because of this. Instead, it seemed to pause in the air for a moment at the moment the magic spell was cast, and then the two-colored arcs expanded their wings and continued to fall downward at a speed that the "sorceress" could almost not catch up with after a second acceleration.

To the people close to the sea surface, the cross symbol that suddenly appeared in the night sky was getting larger and larger. When approaching the sea surface, the length of the two wings of the moonlight great cross had already exceeded one hundred meters.

"Don't let it dodge!"

Danister and Ms. Ingram intensified their attacks on the giant mermaid, and facing the deadly danger falling from the top of its head, it would rather be bombarded by the magic spells of the thirteenth-tier sorceresses head-on than move its position in the sea to dodge.

Just at this moment, the real mermaids who had been dispatched by Xi Wei to follow Xia De, but had been wandering in the northern sea area of the "island" because their speed was slightly slower than Ellie's, emerged from the sea.

The high-tier girls with human bodies and fish tails sang loudly in the black rain while casting spells, and controlled the seawater to become their partners, transforming into chains to restrict the movement of the "mermaid."

The time they bought was not much, but it was enough. Because the red and silver two-colored great cross had already reached the top of the "mermaid's" head at this moment, the falling "Moonlight Slash" had already completed the blockade of time and space at this height because of the power of the "Falling Star Strike."

The next moment, the moonlight great cross pressed down, splitting the body of the rotting "mermaid" like a burning long knife cutting through butter. Afterward, the two intersecting moonlight even directly branded themselves on the black seawater and did not dissipate for a long time.

Even the thirteenth-tier sorceresses had to avoid the power of this strike. Danister even thought that this strike already had a bit of her teacher's style.

And after the body of the "mermaid" was cut into four petals and melted like a flower, besides a large amount of black blood merging into this sea that had become increasingly silent, thousands of tiny black snakes drilled out from that body and swam in all directions at the same time.

And on the sea level, in the center of the bright intersecting moonlight, Xia De, who had restored his main body, knelt on the water surface, holding the sword with both hands and stabbing the blade downward:

"Moon Prayer · Sanctuary Halo!"

Hum!

The 【Night Watcher】 vibrated, and then the radiance of the silver moon spread to the water surface with the tip of the sword as the center, dissolving those small black snakes with circle after circle of vibration. And further away, the mermaid girls surrounded this place, dispelling those small snakes from the bottom of the water, making them unable to leave the range of Xia De's magic spell.

"You go and assist in dismantling that snake tooth, I'll just stay here."

Ms. Sabel, who had just landed, said to the two thirteenth-tier sorceresses. Although she didn't recognize who she was, the 【Nightmare Witch】 subconsciously thought that since she was by the God-Awakener's side, she was likely some Great Witch, so she nodded and flew toward the island with Danister.

The black rain stopped after the "mermaid" died. Xia De, who confirmed that he had cleared all the black snakes, stood up from the sea surface and looked toward the front of this increasingly silent sea area:

"Although the power of death can strengthen the arc in your body, you don't seem to realize that death can also strengthen my power."

Holding her right shoulder, Valentine Halonin, who looked incredibly disheveled, also stood up from the black water surface. At this moment, she had restored to a normal human form, but white dust was escaping from her whole body.

The Death Arc was resonating with the increasingly clear death, turning her into a part of death. She was about to be unable to maintain her body.
