Chapter 3750: White Apple
In the low-altitude area of the island in the thick fog, the battles on the outskirts of the Clockwork City and Keltod Town were still continuing. Lower-level demons, water ghosts, and ghouls with fates of 【Destruction】, 【Death】, 【Aging】, 【Corruption】, etc., appeared continuously from the thick fog.
But this was not because the thick fog connected strange spaces. The snake had prepared for how many years for tonight.
And those warships that received orders to leave the pier for exercises tonight were now docked at the edge of the thick fog in the sea. Major Lades stood on the side of the naval gun aiming at the sea, waiting for orders. Having experienced the Battle of Mid-Hill Fort, he knew very well that their exercise target was definitely not people. No one could sleep tonight.
As for Flora, the snowy owl that returned to the ship at ten o'clock brought back the basket of apples in addition to a body of snowflakes:
"No, I can't find Ellie and the others at all. I clearly remember their position just now, but I just can't find them nearby."
"I'm afraid it's because you want to interfere with them, so you can't see them. Just now Stella found and destroyed a seal. This is the second seal destroyed tonight."
"More and more seals are being destroyed. Chaotic fate will cause Mr. Snake to project more powerful power. You take a rest first. Since you can't interfere, don't go looking for Ellie and the others for now."
Luweiya said, and then discussed with Beiya whether the mermaid girls should be withdrawn back to the ship now. Although the ocean area looked very calm at this moment, Mr. Snake's doomsday power was clearly giving birth to some things that were difficult to understand.
"In those years, I once heard Her Majesty Chloe talk about it. She was very curious about how the most outstanding girl beside Xia De made others convinced."
By the wall of the banquet hall, Winnie, who was watching this scene, said softly to Miss Elayse:
"Now it seems that Luweiya Anatt is indeed qualified to be this person."
The ship girl also said in a low voice:
"Her Majesty Violet also discussed this topic with me, and guessed that that person would be the most outstanding and beautiful mage in the era where Xia De was. I only understood what inconstant fate meant after coming to this era. Who would have thought that a girl who is not a mage could make mages so convinced?"
"Miss Elayse, stop whispering with Winnie there. Now we need to pick up the mermaids in the distant sea. They have encountered trouble."
Luweiya's voice came, and the ship girl immediately set off to control the ship.
Flora did not go to rest, but looked at the sand table covered with light points with some worry. And the little unicorns she couldn't find had of course not left the snow mountain area. In fact, Ellie had already found the location of the next seal.
But the problem was that yellowish light appeared in front. The next seal was located in a canyon. When they arrived at the entrance of the canyon, what they saw was yellow sand rolling in from the front, and the yellowish scenery of the sunset blocked the only road forward.
After "pseudo-ring beast" and "infinite snake," Ellie finally encountered "before doomsday." But this time, in front of that twilight scenery, Ellie had no way either.
She could turn the infinite snake into an apple, but she couldn't turn the scenery into an apple. But the little unicorn was very sure that the place she was looking for was behind this scenery, and this was also the only road to the destination.
Now her two-ring fate ring, because she had eaten two more curved arcs, had added miracle - 【Adventure】 and blasphemy - 【Madness】 in addition to whisper - 【Sinking】, but these added powers could not let her dispel the abnormal twilight scenery before her eyes.
And during that journey, the card game in the Drowned Ghost Tavern was also moving forward, so Lady White drew two more cards for Ellie.
However, this time no new unicorn appeared beside Ellie. In these two opportunities, she obtained an apple that could restore vitality—shared with Little Liana, and obtained a strengthening of running speed for two hours.
But neither apples nor speed were of any help to the current situation. Ellie was a little anxious and paced at the boundary between twilight and reality. Little Liana, who helped Ellie fight just now, hid behind Ellie, looking at the twilight before her with some fear.
So Little Mia's tail, which had a flame on the tip, patted Ellie's forehead again, and the little unicorn had inspiration again.
The twilight scenery was just a precursor to doomsday, a result of Snake's power partially infiltrating reality. As long as Snake's power was suppressed, this twilight could be partially erased. This was also the reason why the holder of the Ring of Fate could act within the twilight.
Ellie had no Ring of Fate and no curved arc, but she remembered that she could turn fate into a delicious apple and eat it. So she established the cognition of "fate = apple," and so she thought "apple = fate" was also true to a certain extent.
She had already touched the power of fate and transformed this power into her own spirit rune. Ellie therefore knew what fate was, and believed that as long as she condensed the power of fate into an apple again, they could enter this yellowish world.
"Huh~" (What should I do?)
Ellie thought of the strange art 【Poison Apple】 that Dorothy had used in front of her to create apples out of thin air. Ellie, who had envied this power very much at the time, although she didn't directly master this magical power after having the Ringed Shushi level, at least she understood that the power came from fairy tales and was as dreamy and magical as unicorns.
The core spirit rune 【Connection】 bloomed with light at this moment, a brand-new relationship was established, and what Ellie connected from Dorothy was the wonderful feeling about fairy tales.
While that strange feeling surged into her heart, the pure white corner of the unformed maze 【Snow White】 that Xia De had once displayed was recalled by Ellie again at this moment.
So in the process of her raising her horn and crying out softly, the pure white light of her whole body gathered toward the top of the horn. The light seemed to gather into a round ball, but what was finally constructed was an apple that looked illusory and emitted pure white light.
Although Ellie had become much stronger than before, she still couldn't make the apple take shape. Fortunately, at this time, Little Liana, who was hiding behind her, also put her horn together and shared her light with Ellie.
When the human Ellie held her hands together and raised them high, the apple emitting soft white light slowly fell into her palm. This apple was still transparent, which meant it hadn't completely taken shape, but even semi-solidified fate already had enough powerful power.
This power was powerful on the one hand because this fate was condensed by Ellie entirely on her own, and on the other hand because this fate came not only from her, but also from the corner of the unformed maze she had once glimpsed.
The power of that maze, Ellie didn't know yet, was exactly what the God of Fog was looking forward to.
The apple emitting white light looked very tempting. Not only did Little Liana poke her head to sniff, but even Little Mia made a sniffing action. This was the fate of 【Innocence】, which came from Dorothy's fairy tales, Ellie and Little Liana's racial talent, and Xia De's maze power.
Ellie kept her human form and carefully held the apple, then sat on Little Liana's back. So the pure white holy beast carried the person and the cat toward the twilight ahead. Wherever they passed, it was like an eraser erasing the yellowish color attached to the world.
Although the twilight scenery returned after they left, wherever they passed, the world really showed its original appearance.
Five minutes later, Ellie successfully passed through the entrance of the canyon and came to the inside of the canyon. At the end of the canyon, on the flat rock wall, was the huge golden snake-shaped rune that Ellie and Little Mia had seen more than an hour ago.
Ellie thought there would be enemies blocking her again this time, but when she tried to walk toward the rock wall in human form, she found that there was nothing here. So the girl who looked like an elf from a fairy tale stretched out her right index finger, and with a burst of pure white light bombarding forward, the rock wall and the rune shattered at the sound.
Clang!
The thirteenth gold coin fell onto the card table in the Drowned Ghost Tavern. Xia De looked at the expressions of the other players at the table and was sure that the third seal was not broken by the five candidates.
He was a little worried that the third seal was broken by Mr. Snake's followers, and at the same time he was worried about Ellie who was adventuring in the snow mountain, and worried about the girls who had probably started the battle tonight.
However, this card game would definitely not last long. After Stella destroyed a seal just now, the other four candidates had also found the location of the seal. With the search of the six people including Ellie, the number of thirteen seals was actually not many.
What Xia De was really worried about was what would happen after all the seals were broken.
And at the same time the third seal was broken, the starry sky in the material world appeared with a black crack in the eyes of the astrologers who were divining tonight. That crack ran through the southeast and northwest of the starry sky, as if someone had slashed at the starry sky. The essence of this strange astronomical phenomenon was that chaotic fate in turn influenced the starry sky.
But the people on Fatu-Monster Island couldn't care about these for the time being. In the low-altitude area, with the shaking of the ground, liquid from the underground water veins sprayed out from the cracks in the ground, but that was not clear groundwater, but black liquid with strong corrosiveness.
Even from those disgusting liquids, more monsters with fate power crawled out, and the defense pressure outside the Clockwork City and Keltod Town became greater.
And Ellie, who shattered the seal, also gained the power gifted by the ancient gods again at this moment. First, the semi-solidified white apple merged into herself again, giving her the enlightenment - 【Innocence】 spirit rune that appeared because of connecting to Dorothy.
Subsequently, because the four spirit runes were complete, and even the spirit runes required for the sublimation language had been engraved, the fate ring behind Ellie's back transformed from a two-ring to a three-ring in the miracle spirit light floating out after the seal shattered. However, the human Ellie didn't pay much attention to this. There were still many apples waiting for her to harvest tonight, so that she could make her apple more real.
Ellie had already thought about it. She wanted to offer that white delicious apple to Xia De, so she had to continue to walk further and further with the cat and Little Liana as an "apple hunter" next. ===== CHAPTER 3751 =====
