Chapter 3783: Dawn, Elf, and Fishhook
It was just that when Claire realized that black flames had already appeared on her body, it was too late to break free. She broke free from the attraction of that black sun, but the black sun in the sky became bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, swallowing the sky and swallowing the yellow sand, as if it wanted to swallow the entire world.
Claire couldn't move, and could only watch in horror as that sun covered the world in front of her. Her soul and flesh were struggling desperately. The eleventh-tier golden ladder behind her and the twelve-ring fate ring had all appeared.
The struggle between the soul and the doomsday made her body wrapped in the phantom of black flames become a bit blurry. Fortunately, at this moment, a clear bell sound of Ding-a-ling~ seemed to shake time and space. Claire, whose consciousness was highly concentrated and blurry in front of her eyes, even heard a cat meow in this bell sound.
The constantly expanding black sun stopped abruptly in the bell sound, but Claire clearly saw a dazzling golden color in the very center of that black sun at this moment.
That was of course not Ellie from afar, nor was it Little Mia who was annoyed by the unicorns, and even less was it Xia De, who was currently missing.
Claire clearly saw that the golden color in the black sun was herself at this moment, the sun's light on her body at this moment, manifesting in that black sun.
"Yes, I am also the sun!"
All the insights since the Year-End Festival melted into her heart at this moment. Claire reached out toward the center of that black sun. The moment her fingertips overlapped with that golden radiance, she felt her body and soul completely ignited.
Up to this point, for Claire Reinhardt, the night had completely receded. The death and destruction that should have arrived would never have any connection with her again after the insight of ice and fire. Manipulating ice and snow, manipulating the scorching sun, all the stones that fate had pressed on the Great Witch of the Sun had been cleared away. Claire knew that she at this moment finally belonged completely to herself.
"Claire! Claire!"
When her consciousness woke up, holding the 【Dawn】 ring of fate taken from the black sun in her hand, Claire found that she was being held by Megan. Large patches of wind and sand were blowing around, and they were retreating along the sea surface toward the direction of the island.
"The mountaintop probably has a big problem. Although I don't want to admit it, the doomsday has already arrived. The sea battlefield is now equivalent to a mud pit, and everyone is retreating."
Megan explained to Claire while flying close to the sea surface. Seeing that Claire was still a bit dazed, she said again:
"Congratulations on being promoted to the twelfth tier."
"Is that so?"
Claire then discovered that she was really a twelfth-tier Great Witch. However, this was already in everyone's expectations. Once a dual-profession witch broke through one level, the other level would also break through soon.
But although it was an expected thing, looking at the ring of fate in her hand and feeling the power after her promotion, Claire was still very happy:
"And still saying I'm a secondary supporting role, I see......"
"You guys are promoted one after another. I see, Madam Speaker will probably be very happy this time."
Megan said again at this time, but most of her attention was still on the retreat. The ordinary people's fleet had returned to the port, and now only those who were originally in the center of the sea battlefield were left.
Claire was startled:
"Who else was promoted?"
Although the news of someone's promotion reached the ship before Xia De entered the ruins, Claire led the team out at that time. After she returned, the situation had deteriorated, and everyone on the ship forgot to mention this matter. Later, after the snake head poked out of the sea, she led the team to the sea, and she knew even less about this news.
"You don't know?"
Thus, the wise Great Witch signaled Claire to look back. Claire twisted her neck with effort to look behind her, only to see that at the edge of the wind and sand area that was constantly expanding, a barrier composed of seven-colored light was blocking the last of a group of people retreating from the central sea battlefield—the witches clearly saved more than one person.
And the person who was casting spells to control the seven-colored barrier, holding a ring of fate in her hand, and with thirteen rings of fate floating behind her, looked like Xie Wei no matter how you looked at it:
"Hmm?"
Claire couldn't understand for a while, but understood after a moment:
"Xie Wei was promoted to the thirteenth tier? I......"
Although she no longer cared about any "secondary supporting role" and knew that she was the protagonist of her own life, Miss Claire Reinhardt was still a bit unhappy at this moment when she should have been happy.
However, she soon discovered that the unhappy expression on Xie Wei's face, who followed up, seemed even more obvious than her own.
"What's wrong?"
Claire could fly alone at this time, so she asked Megan. And although the wise Great Witch didn't know about the situation at the foot of the mountain, she actually understood everything after seeing Xie Wei return after being promoted on the mountaintop just now and smelling the obvious smell on her:
"Xie Wei, she probably just took a bite of a small snack during afternoon tea when she was called out to work. Claire, you must not provoke Xie Wei now. A girl who hasn't eaten enough is very terrifying."
And at the same time as Ellie held the ring and shook the holy bell at 【Oracle Square】, and the unicorns and the cat cried out together—the cat was complaining—besides the retreat of the sea battlefield, other things happened.
The Great Elf who was knocked away by the terrifying power of the skin-shedding snake transformed into a Little Elf in the air. The fate of the doomsday of the Sixth Era did not directly contend with the Chosen of Time. It very cleverly used the power of doomsday to cut off Emilia's path to draw power from the world tree seedling in the "Land of the Throne". Thus, Emilia, who suddenly lost the power of the complete Chosen, fell directly from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain.
She was wrapped in black light of doomsday, like a falling meteor, swoosh~ falling straight to the foot of the mountain.
Emilia was prepared to hit the ground directly, but she fell into the water with a splash~. For ordinary people, there was little difference between falling to the ground and falling into the water from such a high position, but for a high-ring Little Elf, the latter meant that she should only be slightly injured.
It was just that the speed when entering the water was too fast. Almost in the next second, she plunged headfirst into the silt at the bottom of the water.
However, Emilia could of course breathe underwater. When playing hide-and-seek with the unicorns in the academy, she had hidden underwater for a full three hours without being found.
At this moment, she struggled to summon the fate ring to transform into a sapling to support the dark golden dial, and then invoked the power of time to dissolve the black light wrapped around her body. Although she couldn't transform into a Great Elf again in a short time, Emilia was almost uninjured.
Thus, she also understood that the skin-shedding snake should just want to let her leave the battlefield temporarily, and she couldn't return to the best state in a short time.
Complaining in her heart that the opponent actually saw through her biggest weakness at once, she just wanted to float up, when she found that there seemed to be something else at the bottom of the water.
The dark vision of a pure-blood elf was quite good, so she looked over curiously, and immediately distinguished that what she saw was a slanted monastery standing in the water.
The outer wall of the monastery was made entirely of black stones. It didn't have any moss on it even though it was in the water, and even the external metal decorations and the spire decorations on the roof were not corroded.
Emilia even found that even the windows of the monastery were intact, and there were some shadowy black figures behind those black glass windows looking at her......
Even in the water, the pointed-eared Little Elf still felt as if her head was about to explode—
"Sage-level relic 【Sunk Talmont Monastery】!"
This was a relic discovered not far from the elf camp. The origin of the relic was a monastery that was sunk into the water forever after blaspheming the gods. The lake where the monastery belonged would attract people to jump into the lake and commit suicide, but using special fishing rods and bait, one could also get some unexpected things.
Not to mention that she couldn't use all her power now, even in a complete state, Emilia wouldn't easily jump into this kind of place:
"I'm not far from the camp now...... I actually fell into a relic!"
Emilia thus felt that what she should consider now was no longer when she could recover to normal and then go to the mountaintop to support again, but whether she could escape from this relic at all.
The black shadows in the monastery had also noticed the Little Elf who fell to the bottom of the water like a cannonball. When the unwilling Emilia tried her best to float up, she found that no matter how she swam upward, the distance between the water surface and herself never changed, and the monastery was still in front of her.
"Is it possible that I can only break into the monastery before I can leave here? I remember the core of the monastery is the blasphemous research results of this group of people. I have to find the results and burn them. Everyone who unfortunately enters this area has to do this. This is both the method of leaving and the punishment for the blasphemers."
Emilia thought in her heart, but she encouraged herself again, thinking that she would definitely be able to leave here soon:
"The mountaintop still needs me!"
It was just that when she thought she was forced to stage the drama of "Pretty Elf Breaks into Monastery, Chosen One Fights Evil Alone", she suddenly heard a crisp bell sound of Ding-a-ling~. She was clearly in the water, but the sound was as clear as if it were ringing in her ear:
"Oh?"
Subsequently, Emilia saw a fishhook thrown down from above the water surface. The fishhook entered the interior of the monastery directly from the chimney of the monastery quite coincidentally, and then a bright green ring was actually hooked up by that fishhook.
"【Hook of Earl】? And that ring......"
This fishhook-shaped relic found by the Witch Council was not allowed to be used for fishing in this water area. Although this water area could fish out many good things because of its characteristics, it was hard to say what kind of problems would arise if the two relics worked together.
Now the fishhook was thrown into the water brightly, and even caught a ring. Emilia didn't know what kind of situation this was, but she knew that her opportunity and good luck had come. ===== CHAPTER 3784 =====
