Chapter 3763
Judging from the current progress, Stella is undoubtedly the fastest. The white-haired girl carried 【Sorrow of Frost】 on her back, and the lucky holy bell lent to Xia De by the hermits hung on her waist. Moreover, she didn't know what method she used to make that ice-blue Ring of Fate of 【Ice and Snow】 float in the center of her Ring of Fate, and her brass-colored Ring of Fate was almost turning ice-blue under continuous violent spellcasting at this moment.
The combat power displayed by the six-ringed girl now had actually reached the high-ring level. Megan and Flora, who had just arrived from the foot of the mountain, were guarding her by her side to continue moving forward.
As for the witches in the summit area, they were Vanessa of the thirteenth tier and Galina of the twelfth tier. Although Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya were also sent here by Luweiya at this moment, the two held hands but did not participate in the battle, but stood at the entrance of the Road of Atonement that constantly emerged with yellow sand, trying their best to analyze the spatial state inside the ruins.
If they could directly locate the "Upper Spring" inside the ruins from the current position, Stella only needed to join them, and she could be sent to the finish line at once.
"Stop!"
The tree staff slammed heavily on the ground. Where the green brilliance spread, all enemies were frozen in time. Even though these monsters with fate possessed a certain degree of time resistance, the few seconds of being paused were enough for the strange arts of the Ring-Warlocks to cover them.
Emilia stood in the center of the peak platform at this moment. Two high-ring elf maid guards and a twelfth-ring bronze dragon lady from Dragon Island assisted her in spellcasting.
Emilia, as the core of the battlefield, prevented any monsters from really breaking through the defense line of the summit. And those who truly possessed the thirteenth-ring level were all facing their respective strong opponents separately.
One hundred meters above the summit, Miss Eden of the 【Sun Emblem】 who unfolded her snow-white wings radiated holy brilliance, illuminating this main battlefield like the sun at night.
The Sun Emblem erupted in layers around her, and every appearance of the emblem was accompanied by continuous solar flame rays roaring toward the front like a tornado. The fate of 【Holiness】 gifted by the Lady of the Lake floated above her head like an angel's halo, but this thirteenth-ring lady failed to suppress her opponent immediately.
The strange woman who possessed the fate of 【Black Sun】, wrapped in a black robe, with a black halo appearing behind her head, faced the attack of this top-tier thirteenth-ring warlock silently.
Relying only on the Ring of Fate of course could not let her be so relaxed when facing the 【Sun Emblem】. After the black long snake drilled out from her heart and coiled around her right arm, this power gifted by the "Snake" made her barely reach the posture of "Double Rings", which was how she could face Miss Eden's attack.
A similar situation was the 【Imbalanced One】 who was fighting Yiluna. He had already appeared during the Great Movement of Fate in the sixth act. This time, when he appeared again, he had completely lost his human form.
The snake head of the black giant snake was replaced by his head. The imbalanced fate, the wrong fate represented by the Infinite Snake, and the doomsday fate given by the Snake gathered in one body. On the long stairs of climbing the mountain, while telling Yiluna about his miserable stories in the past, it constantly launched deadly attacks on Yiluna.
Even though Yiluna had seen countless disgusting monsters, she still thought the one in front of her was the most disgusting. The fate of punishing evil and hope was skillfully used by her. However, she did not pull out the 【Night Watcher】 she carried on her back; now was far from the time to draw the sword.
And Vanessa, who did not have a resonant Ring of Fate, cooperated with Galina, and with the assistance of the Sylvia Tower hidden in the distance, fought against the two-meter-tall black goat that possessed the fate of 【Desolation】.
At this moment, the number of followers of the Snake who gathered in the summit area and held Rings of Fate reached an astonishing six. Besides 【Imbalance】, 【Black Sun】, and 【Desolation】, the other three fates were 【Evil】, 【Ignorance】, and 【Paradox】.
These people, like the "Lover", all had their own stories, and holding the Rings of Fate that resonated with themselves, they all received the fate gift from the "Snake" tonight.
All six of them entered the fate posture of "Second Ring". Therefore, except for the strong ones who possessed their own fate who could fight them one-on-one, other thirteenth-rings had to unite together to suppress them.
Plus, there were also quite a few powerful individuals among the pseudo-ring beasts attacking the summit at this moment. Although the Church and the Academy had dispatched the largest number of thirteenth-rings to participate in the war so far for the sake of the War of Fate, the manpower was still insufficient.
Of course, there was still one person on the scene who, even without mastering the Ring of Fate, still suppressed the followers of the Snake by himself.
The blonde Adele Isabella stood in the air, and the enemy who was the opponent mastered the fate of 【Paradox】.
Although the body was in human form, the monster's three heads shared one neck. One was a child's face dripping with black liquid, one was an old man's face with rotten skin, and the third was a handsome and evil young man's face. The three faces looked like three different life stages of one person.
【Paradox】 was embedded on the forehead of the young man's face in the center. The black Ouroboros pattern was branded on the child's face, and a black arc was embedded on the side face of the old man. That was the third fate that resonated with it, different from 【Paradox】 and 【Doomsday】—【Misfortune】.
Its body converted into different age stages every second, sometimes even growing bird claws, fish scales, or things that were even harder to understand. It was as if the rules of time had completely lost order on its body, and its every breath was even affecting the flow of time around it.
But even though the enemy had such power, Adele Isabella still suppressed him easily.
The thirteenth-ring Ring of Fate floated behind her, and the four-colored spiritual light was more dazzling than anyone else's spiritual runes in this pitch-black night. Adele was almost recognized as the strongest thirteenth-ring warlock in the material world before the "God-Caller" appeared. Miss Eden not far away even thought that even if she held the fate gifted by the angel, it seemed she was still not the opponent of the other party:
"This Speaker of the Witch Council seems to have become stronger too."
The resistance provided by the fake Ring of Fate when facing the real Ring of Fate was almost negligible. But relying on the large number of twelfth-rings and a few thirteenth-ring warlocks, this battlefield located at the summit could barely be considered to be in a stalemate.
Thus, amidst this subtle battlefield balance, Stella, under the escort of Megan and Flora, finally arrived at the summit first.
But their arrival not only meant that the support people in the third battlefield returned to the peak, but also meant that the enemies who had besieged Stella just now also arrived here together.
The Infinite Snake with eight snake heads sprayed yellowish light toward Stella, but Stella shook the holy bell, and then the half-person-high shield formed by the pink light that lit up on the back of her hand blocked all the terrifying power.
The summit could no longer spare anyone to help her. Although Galina had been worried since just now because of the inexplicable appearance of Adele Isabella, she still shouted loudly at this moment:
"You go to the ruins first, rush to the entrance, don't stay here!"
Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya, who were originally standing at the entrance of the Road of Atonement, arrived behind Stella in the next moment, and then pressed her shoulders and brought her to the entrance.
Megan and Flora then released strange arts to block the monsters chasing from the foot of the mountain. Mr. Chris Evans, the "Master of Illusions" of the Church of Creation, and Mr. Minsk Todels, the "White Pigeon Messenger" who had come to support from the battlefield at the waist of the mountain not long ago, intercepted those enemies at a lower position.
According to the original plan, once Stella reached the summit, the first task was to enter the ruins to search for the Upper Spring. She could not act alone. According to the current situation, the most suitable candidates Yiluna and Emilia could not be spared, so Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya planned to enter the ruins with her.
Although Grace and Helen had not yet arrived, the Day of Red Butterflies had already brought the power of the Princess and the Writer to the peak. They each held a curved arc, and only relying on the power of fate fragments, they withstood the blowing yellow sand.
Leaping forward, Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy each pressed one side of Stella's shoulders and broke into the ruins with her. But the figures of the three only disappeared for a second, and then were bounced out from the entrance of the ruins.
Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy protected Stella behind them, seeing disgusting black pus flowing out from the entrance of the ruins. Subsequently, amidst the gurgling sound, a human body made of pus appeared, with a Ring of Fate embedded in its chest as expected.
"The fate of 【Filth】."
Stella, who did not originally possess the power to interpret fate, read the meaning of that Ring of Fate from the dancing wind and snow at this moment:
"Don't touch those black pus, they are similar to the power of 【Human Pus】 that Xia... once mentioned. Touching them will corrupt the soul."
The pitch-black pus had already blocked the entrance of the ruins at this moment, and then the droplets splashed everywhere under the control of that human figure made of pus.
Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy cast spells to divide space to make those pus disappear, but the black viscous liquid flowing out from the ruins was like endless. Even if it disappeared, it could be replenished immediately.
"These black pus are things secreted by the Snake's main body. It was this that initially polluted the underground water veins of the snowy mountains."
Stella said again, shaking the holy bell to add luck to everyone, and then manipulated the power of ice and snow to assist the Princess and the Writer in the battle. The three were blocked at the entrance, and the attacks of the pseudo-ring beasts that arrived at the summit later became more and more fierce.
The space at the summit was limited. In order to facilitate the battle, the combat field of the three girls and the black liquid of 【Filth】 gradually rose, until the three also came under the starry sky covered with cracks.
And the black filth surging from the ruins had already gathered to an astonishing amount at this moment. When the ten-meter-high octopus danced hundreds of tentacles, the filthy wind turned the flying snow into black. Everyone on the summit battlefield was affected by this power.
