Chapter 3752: Adele and Unicorn
Hum~
At the critical moment, the ink-colored shield was activated by the dragon scale amulet hanging on Ellie's chest, and the thick night blocked the heavy sword's slash.
And when the night dissipated and merged into the night again, the light emitted by the transparent white light apple held by Ellie in both hands made the undead knight and the demon mount freeze in place. Pure fate, even if it hadn't completely taken shape, had already suppressed evil.
Taking advantage of the enemy being controlled, Little Liana, who rushed from not far away, hit the demon and undead to the side with one impact. And when the undead demon knight adjusted its state and prepared to attack again, Ellie had already climbed onto Little Liana's back and was ready for the second round of battle.
"What are you?"
A sound like fingernails scraping glass came from the black heavy armor. Ellie didn't intend to answer this question. Little Mia was put back on her head by her, and the light of the white light apple had melted and attached to the "Unicorn Sword."
Among the people who established a connection with Ellie, Xia De and Emilia had both pulled out that "Sword of Light." It was just that the current enemy was far from threatening the safety of the world, and Ellie didn't have the determination to save the world. But even so, the connection of fate still endowed Ellie with the use of the "Sword of Light." The strangely shaped pure white long sword almost wanted to split the deep night at this moment.
The knight and the knight charged at each other again. This time, the doomsday power from Mr. Snake even appeared on the black heavy armor of the heavy armor black knight, which was clearly also a ring holder under Mr. Snake.
Two completely opposite forces collided in the snow again. Black and white intertwined into chaotic colors. And after that strange halo dissipated, Ellie and Little Liana were still standing in the snow, and the heavy armor knight riding the demon mount staggered forward for a few more steps before falling heavily into the snow.
The ring on its chest was pierced by a pure white arc, and the complete 【Evil】 fate had already appeared cracks. But after falling to the ground, it stood up quickly, and then the demon mount flew toward the depths of the snowy night carrying it.
Ellie didn't pursue. This was not because she couldn't catch up. After the demon undead knight disappeared, she groaned in pain while covering her chest, and then placed her hand on Little Liana, using the power of nature acquired from Emilia to treat.
Only a three-ring little unicorn, without complete fate, could only fight to a draw or take advantage when dealing with such an enemy. This kind of opponent was actually more suitable for Iluna to deal with.
However, Ellie also gained something from this encounter. Her left hand was holding a black curved arc. That was the fate fragment she tore from the evil fate when her "apple power" confronted the other party, and Xia De had also done similar things.
So the black curved arc was turned into an apple. After Ellie ate this new apple, she gained a brand-new spirit rune 【Evil】 again, and her injuries were all healed.
After confirming that Little Liana's state was okay at this time, they continued to set off toward a higher position on the mountain.
And at this moment, the black knight who escaped had shared all the information about his encounter with the strange opponent with his master. In the depths of the relic temple at the peak of the high mountain, the giant black snake slid out from the underground stair entrance in the center of the stone room, and the snake head looked toward the direction where Ellie and Little Liana were.
The giant snake's left eye and right eye were a bit different, as if inlaid with a beautiful golden gemstone. The snake saw through time and space, saw through fate, and tried to understand the identity of the so-called "unicorn knight" now that the God-Caller was playing cards in the tavern at the foot of the mountain.
Its eyes accurately observed the location of Ellie and her party, but before it could see the little unicorns clearly, the swaying flame suddenly exploded like a bomb, and the dazzling light emitted by the golden sun almost blinded its eyes.
In the hissing sound, the snake in the stone room closed its eyes, but could still feel the burning pain in its eyes. The 【Ouroboros Pupil · Left Eye】 temporarily lost its characteristics at this moment, and the area in front of its own right eye was white. Although the eyes would recover after waiting for a period of time, it knew that even if it observed again, it probably wouldn't be able to succeed.
After thinking for a while, the snake shadow brought information to its followers, and more dangers were carried with more fate, approaching the unicorns who continued to climb the mountain.
The snake didn't take action personally. Now that the seals were being broken one by one, it had more important things to do. The process of molting was still continuing. As the "fate of the doomsday of the First Era," it considered itself unable to beat the God-Caller. And what happened just now proved that a second power not in the plan appeared on the snow mountain.
Therefore, transformation was the only way out, and fortunately, it had already found a method.
Time came to eleven o'clock on Friday night. With the shattering of the cliff, the seal was broken by Ellie again. She, who was panting, had now returned to the form of a little unicorn. At the same time as landing, the fate ring behind her also changed from a three-ring to a four-ring.
This was the ninth of the thirteen seals, and the eighth seal was broken more than ten minutes ago, but it was not Ellie or the five candidates who did it.
However, these were not things the little unicorn should consider now. The continuous battle was also a burden for her. At this moment, the little beast, who was listless, wanted to rest for a while. After communicating with Little Liana, they decided to stay temporarily in a cave they had discovered not long ago.
The starry sky above the snow mountain had dozens of black cracks, and due to the violent vibration of fate in the Falling Star Bay area, the combat effectiveness of Ringed Shushi who did not carry curved arcs or rings had decreased by at least one-tenth.
The huge and terrifying black shadows in the sea area around the island were shooting at the joint fleet of the church and the two countries' armies, and the battles on the outskirts of Keltod Town and the Clockwork City made the monster corpses accumulate like hills on the ground.
The five candidates acting in the snow mountain were still looking for the last four seals in the wind and snow, and at this time, Ellie had already fallen into a deep sleep in the cave, leaning against Little Liana. The pure white fur still looked luxurious even in such a harsh environment, and the two furry little heads leaning against each other made people feel pity.
Because of the flame on Little Mia's tail, the cave was not particularly cold. The cat didn't disturb the little unicorns who had been tired for a long time tonight. After those pure white creatures fell asleep temporarily, it jumped down from Ellie's furry back, and then "meowed" at the blizzard outside the cave.
The cat meow was exceptionally gentle, but the beasts with strange appearances that approached the cave because of the snake's arrangement fled in all directions as if they had heard some terrible sound.
And their escape attracted the attention of another person who happened to be nearby. Adele Isabella, who only knew that Stella had gone to participate in the Seventh Act, but didn't know anything about the little unicorns, followed the direction where those "pseudo-ring beasts" came and soon arrived outside this hidden mountain cave.
Because she knew that Xia De was going to participate in the card game in her identity, she didn't go near the Radiant Messenger, but planned to hunt some dangerous things in the mountains first. Because she didn't know the truth, she had no purpose, so she was able to intervene in the stage smoothly.
Of course, this also had the reason that Lady White on the card table in the Drowned Ghost Tavern had just drawn a 【Aid · Healer】 card for Ellie.
The white light curtain used to block the wind and snow and conduct vigilance could not block this thirteenth-tier Great Mage, and after entering the cave, seeing the little unicorns leaning together, while Little Mia looked at her, the Great Mage of Time first showed a gentle expression, and then wondered what happened here.
"Why are you here?"
Ellie was registered in the council, and Little Mia's existence was not a secret to her. She had seen these cute little creatures in past big events, so she recognized these cute little creatures. After checking the little unicorns, she found that although they were not injured, they had clearly experienced multiple battles not long ago.
"Poor little guys, how could Claire and the others let you come here alone?"
The thirteenth-tier Great Mage then carefully released strange arts to restore them. Her casting action woke up the little beasts, but because of the natural closeness between the Great Mage and the unicorns, they didn't feel any surprise at the appearance of Adele Isabella. Little Liana even friendly rubbed against her palm with its side face.
After a short treatment, the fatigue brought by the battle tonight disappeared for the most part. Ellie and Little Liana rubbed against each other again, and then stood up with spirit, ready to continue setting off.
"Where are you going? It's very dangerous in the mountains now. I'll send you back to the foot of the mountain."
The Great Mage with a tear mole at the corner of her eye suggested, but Ellie and Little Liana didn't agree with this plan. The former knew her mission, and the latter didn't want to leave her friend alone here.
Ellie even called out as an answer, but the mage in front of them didn't have the ability to communicate directly with the unicorns. So Ellie, who felt that she had recovered well, let the white light wrap her body again.
Adele thought she was going to cast a spell, so she took two steps back, and then she was surprised to see the girl in white robes appearing in that light.
Although Ellie had turned into a human during the Battle of the Lovers, no one had said anything about this news. So as the Speaker of the 【Mage Council】, who theoretically had the highest power in the council, Adele Isabella had never heard of the news at all:
"Can unicorns turn into humans? Wait a minute, so Megan asked me about unicorns a while ago because of this?"
"Cat, take away."
Ellie, who could speak directly in human form, pointed to the top of her head, where a cat had just laid down. ===== CHAPTER 3753 =====
