Chapter 3675
Xia De's attack just now was not without effect. Although her human body, which had reappeared at this moment, looked intact, if one looked closely, fine red and silver cracks were spread all over the surface of her body. If she were just a simple human, she should have died long ago.
That black arc emerged from the surface of the woman's tattered dress at this moment. The woman held it in her right hand and then said to Xia De:
"I increasingly feel that you are very strange, perfect as if you are not a person who should exist in this world. The world has given you such powerful power, wisdom, and courage, and made you liked by so many girls. I only wanted one person and paid such a great price, so what price will you pay?"
"If this is all you want to say now, I will be very disappointed. Mr. Snake has discussed this topic with me, and your eloquence is obviously far inferior to it."
The weak woman laughed:
"This is not my main body, but as long as I can stop you for a moment, I win. Go find the location of my true main body. No matter who wins tonight, I will always remember you—this sentence is definitely not a lie."
She said she was about to stab the arc into her chest, but Xia De said again:
"The body you are manipulating is innocent. Since you lost, how about exiting with some dignity? This body is innocent. Even if you use this arc to do something else, you should know that this won't stop me.
The arc in your hand has already made it impossible for this body to live. Since she has already died because of you, at least let her corpse be decent, can you?"
Behind Xia De, Grace and Helen holding hands appeared, looking at her expressionlessly. The blonde "sorceress" also landed on the water surface. She looked far away behind the woman, where a wisp of clear silver moonlight had already emerged. The power of the relic and the arc finally made the Underworld Moon appear.
Valentine Halonin smiled and then shook her head:
"You, you really are..."
She actually really put down the arc aimed at her heart:
"Mr. Snake gave me enough charm, but I feel that my charm is still not as good as yours. Because I can't attract you, but you really attracted me.
If it wasn't him but you that I met more than ten years ago, I'm afraid these things wouldn't have happened."
She looked at the arc in her hand. The moonlight from far away behind made that black arc look more textured:
"When you carried me down from the snowy mountain, you once said that you should be a good person and not a bad person. I only understand what you mean now. Yes, who wouldn't want to be friends with someone like you?"
Afterward, she suddenly threw the arc in her hand toward Xia De. Neither Grace nor Helen stopped it, because this was not an attack. Xia De easily caught 【Death】.
The woman said to Xia De:
"I'll wait for you on the snowy mountain. No matter the result, being able to know an interesting person like you is my luck."
She closed her eyes. As the body fell toward the water surface like a doll and slowly sank, the consciousness manipulating the body left this place.
Xia De looked at the slightly glowing arc in his hand again, and then looked up at the phantom of the Silver Moon slowly rising from the horizon far away in the water area.
"Magic Spell - Gate of Death."
No gap opened around, and under the slight resonance of the arc, the Silver Moon in the distance almost turned into a solid body, but this place did not really turn into a water area of death.
Only, from the location of that sunken corpse, the pure white soul of a strange girl stood up from a stooped state. She looked at her body blankly, and then, as if understanding something, bowed slightly to Xia De, and then turned around and walked toward that Underworld Moon.
Grace and Helen stood on Xia De's left and right, pulling his sleeve and watching the girl's soul go away. Behind, Adele Isabella watched the scene of the three watching the Underworld Moon and inexplicably felt that this scene was incredibly harmonious, as if the three should have stood together like this.
"No, no, why would I think like this?"
She shook her head, while Xia De sighed, turned around, and wanted to go with this Ms. Sabel to destroy the giant snake tooth here. Danister and Ms. Ingram were almost successful. Without the protection of the "Lustful One," that snake tooth was nothing more than a harder wooden stake.
Only before Xia De could speak, Helen whispered to him:
"Sir, don't be in a hurry to leave, look over there."
Xia De turned around again and looked in the direction of the Underworld Moon that had not yet disappeared. The strange girl continued to walk away with her back to them, while two figures brushed past her. The pure white souls supported each other and walked toward Xia De's direction with their backs to the Underworld Moon, but stopped at a just-right position.
Xia De saw those two faces, and he recognized them:
"Mr. Otto and... Mrs. Otto!?"
The corpse ghost who was once sent to death by Xia De by boat and left him 【Ancient Fairy Tale · Snow White】 and a heart, was not in the appearance of his youth at this moment, but in the appearance of old age that he had never reached.
And the short figure supported by the elderly Mr. Otto was exactly the neighbor of the Reinhardt family, Mrs. Otto, who had spent her whole life waiting for her husband to be frozen before the Ice and Snow Castle.
The old man's body emitted a faint light, smiling and nodding gently to Xia De before the Underworld Moon. She had passed away.
The two who eloped to this island when they were young finally stood together again at this moment. When Xia De and Stella dealt with the corpse ghost Mr. Otto, they knew that Mrs. Otto didn't have much life left, but he didn't expect to see them here at this moment.
"It just so happens that we are leaving too. We originally regretted not being able to thank you again, but we didn't expect to have another chance. This trip is to say goodbye to you."
The figures of the two old people were outlined by the Underworld Moon behind them, and their voices seemed to echo from far away:
"Thanks to your help. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to meet at the last moment of our lives, and we wouldn't have been able to support each other and walk together after death. Although we couldn't spend a complete life together when we were alive, at least after death, we can finally be together."
"You..."
The outsider, who had had no expression since the big battle just now, showed sadness and melancholy on his face at this moment, and the two old people comforted him:
"Young man, don't be sad or upset for us. People always have to die; you should know this truth better than we do."
Their hands were held together, and their appearances were becoming young together under the cold radiance of the Underworld Moon:
"Cherish the people in front of you, do your best to grab their hands, don't wait until you can't grab them to regret. A person's life is limited, but destiny is elusive, don't leave regrets for yourself."
The young girl and the handsome young man smiled and shed tears, left hand holding right hand, right hand and left hand waving together to say goodbye to Xia De. Their figures gradually became blurry before the Underworld Moon, until they finally disappeared, leaving only a few crystal-clear tears falling toward the water surface, and those few tears were directly moved to her eyes by Grace:
"These tears... soul teardrops, huh~"
"The tears of lovers water the flowers, the temperature of the soul melts the ice crystals that do not melt..."
The words Professor Manning said in front of the fireplace seemed to ring in Xia De's ears at this moment, so Grace gathered those tears, and Helen reached out and held it lightly to the side, and the box containing the 【Eternal Flower】 was held in her hand.
The crystal-clear flower was taken out by Helen and handed to Xia De. While Xia De picked up the rose, Grace manipulated those tear crystals to approach the flower.
When the soul teardrops touched this gift that the puppet boy gave to Xia De before the Year-End Festival, it melted like ice meeting fire.
The melted 【Eternal Flower】 turned into a crystal-clear liquid, and it still possessed whispering elements, even stronger than when it was in flower form. No matter who saw those crystal-clear glowing liquids, they would subconsciously think that these were tears.
Xia De did not go to investigate whether this should be considered a relic derivative or a deformed form of the relic itself. He put the tears in an empty test tube. Ms. Sabel only asked at this time:
"Was that the 【Eternal Flower】 just now?"
"In my opinion now, this is the antidote."
"What antidote?"
"The antidote to solve the biggest dilemma tonight. I was originally worried that something would go wrong in the end, but now it should be fine. Looking at it this way, destiny is really impermanent. It just so happens to be today, the Death Arc, the Church's relic, and me. If any one of the conditions were missing, it wouldn't be established..."
He put away the test tube and the arc:
"Let's solve the snake tooth here first. I think the battles in other parts of the island are almost over. At least the opponent we are facing here, its power is not particularly strong."
He asked the blonde sorceress again:
"Next, I will go to the snowy mountain with Ellie and Grace and Helen to support the most important battle. Do you want to come together?"
The witch hesitated, and after hesitating for a while, she still shook her head. Even with the disguise of the Council's power and the power given by the "other self," there was still a possibility of exposure if she rashly contacted so many familiar colleagues:
"Forget it, I'll go back to the town. If I encounter other situations there, I can still help... When you come back, I might have already left. I said goodbye to you this time, don't say I left without saying goodbye again."
She waved at Xia De with a straight face, and Xia De said:
"I never said you left without saying goodbye, then you be careful too. See you next time."
"See you next time."
Even though the 【Veil of Haze】 had not been put away at this moment, she still jumped up and disappeared directly into this sea area.
"Grace, Helen, let's go too."
Xia De said to the sisters, and then flew toward the island together to help.
At this moment, Helen's voice appeared in Grace's heart:
"Sister, the sorceress just now... although her true appearance, soul characteristics, and even destiny trajectory were covered by the chaotic light that couldn't be seen clearly, did she use the witch's power when she cast the spell?"
For them who walked from the Fifth Era, the witch's power would never be mistaken. Xia De's 【Witch Detection Badge】 was useless to Ms. Sabel, but their perception was more sensitive than alchemy items:
"There are only thirteen Great Witches in this era. Sister, the sorceress just now, wouldn't she be..."
"Shh~ don't say it out."
The voice of Grace in the white dress also appeared in her sister's ear. Helen looked at her sister on the other side of Xia De strangely:
"Not telling sir?"
"Do you think sir didn't see it?"
"Hmm... sir also saw it?"
Grace tried not to let herself show a smile, and continued to follow Xia De to fly to the "small island":
"Whether sir can see it, of course I don't know either. But if he saw it, do you still have the need to remind him?"
"Of course not."
"If sir didn't see it, Helen, does he need you to remind him?"
The girl in the black dress thought about Luvia and that cat beside Xia De:
"It seems not needed either."
"Then why do you want to expose her identity?"
Now Helen understood:
"I understand, sister is worthy of being sister!"
Grace really showed a smile this time, and when Xia De asked her why she was smiling, the girl in the white dress only said that she thought of something very funny.
