Chapter 3935
Miss Sabel spoke while casting a spell to mask Xia De's elemental reaction.
To Miss Cruz, who was on the side, the power the strange lady was casting looked like a secret art of the Chaos series, but soon she was also affected by this secret art and stopped thinking about it.
"I have never thought about this. The descendants or blood relatives of the vessels for the Great Ones might indeed exist, but this is too blasphemous."
The young woman said, trembling:
"The various churches should have management methods for this kind of person, right? How could they let them unite?"
The silver "arrow" on the bowstring Xia De was pulling taut was gradually manifesting. Adele, who was close by, could see it quite clearly—that was not an arrow at all, but a slender sword without a crossguard.
Xia De had long been able to control the specific shape of the "Moonlight Greatsword," and the fact that the "Moonlight Greatsword" could fly after being released was a lesson from Miss Helena Carter. The ladies at home had only mentioned the combined use of the "Blood Moon Arc" and "Night Arrow" this morning, but in his view, a bow and sword were the best combination.
Adele marveled at Xia De's combination of the two spells, while her mouth continued to explain:
"It is impossible for the members of the 'Alliance of the Holy Child' to be the first-generation descendants or blood relatives of the divine vessels. But the material world is so vast and history so long. Even if the number of mortals who served as divine vessels is not large, the number of their descendants is huge. The 'Alliance of the Holy Child' has been searching for descendants of this special group. As long as it can be proven that they have a blood relationship with the body of a 'Saint,' they can be absorbed. They consider themselves superior, existing as noble beings between gods and mortals. Traces of this group have appeared since the Third Era. Their common goal is to unearth their own special qualities so as to get closer to the power of their 'ancestor, the Saint'."
"Are they trying to become gods?"
Xia De asked a question that made the carriage driver tremble even more. The longbow, fully charged, first aimed at the tenth-ring sorcerer among the three enemies, but then shifted toward the thing held by the ninth-ring female sorcerer.
At this moment, the female sorcerer in the hood actually looked over here. Under her hood was white hair and a kind, motherly face that was quite likable. She looked to be about thirty years old.
To be specific, this strange white-haired sorceress easily reminded one of religious images like the "Holy Mother."
Fortunately, although she swept her gaze over, she did not see through Adele's chaos secret art, and the latter continued to explain:
"It shouldn't be such a grand goal, otherwise they wouldn't exist anymore, but I don't know what exactly this group wants to do. After all, there are too few records about them. The 'Holy Mother Holding the Child,' who is the most special in terms of status in the 'Alliance of the Holy Child,' is the one holding that thing. No one knows what that terrifying thing she is holding is, and that thing is probably the research achievement of the 'Alliance of the Holy Child'."
"Do these people really have special qualities?"
Miss Cruz still couldn't believe it, and Adele responded:
"Silly girl, even if they only have a connection to the Great Ones in concept, they would possess special power because of it, let alone the real connection between a Saint and their descendants. Although I cannot answer your question directly, I think you will find the answer yourself after the battle that follows."
As her voice fell, Xia De released the bowstring.
The Moonlight Greatsword itself was pure silver, but it was stained with the bright red of that longbow while being charged. The crimson and silver moonlight intermingled, turning into a scarlet silver light as it left the string.
That beam of light didn't know how many raindrops it had traveled through in the rain, yet it didn't change the movement of any raindrop.
When the people under the low cliff covered in spring ivy noticed that brilliant light in the rain, the light had already arrived in front of the "Holy Mother Holding the Child" who was holding the unknown thing.
Then, amidst the woman's action of clutching the thing in her arms and looking up, everything around her froze.
The raindrops and that beam of scarlet silver light froze in the air, but as Adele on the low cliff smiled softly, the raindrops remained frozen, but that beam of light accelerated again, hitting the thing held by the woman directly.
The scarlet moonlight bloomed near the ground, and the arrow directly detonated the flesh and blood it touched. In the blooming light, the sound of a baby crying suddenly tore through the sound of the rain and the roaring river.
Wei Ge, who had been prepared, immediately cast a spell to distort the sound wave. At the same time, Miss Cruz, who was on the low cliff with Miss Sabel, had already jumped down, rushing to check the condition of her two unconscious companions.
That arrow first pierced through the thing held by the female sorcerer, then directly detonated one-third of the flesh and blood in the woman's body, almost leaving her with no bones left. But the two companions standing in front of her didn't look back at all, instead looking at the sky at this moment.
And in the sky, besides the falling raindrops, there was also a falling starlight—
"Falling Star Strike!"
Boom!
The loud noise was shielded by the witch's spell and was not heard by the people in the Gray Rock Pass fortress not far away.
Although Xia De hadn't flown very high this time, the power of this strike was strong enough. Even during the fall, Xia De felt that he had hit some kind of soft, warm shield, but that shield only delayed him for a moment before being forcibly torn apart by the falling starlight.
"That shield, why does it feel like flesh?"
The two people protected by the shield reacted extremely quickly, and both slapped their palms toward Xia De, who was falling from the sky. The collision of the four palms was the real reason for that loud noise. The starlight collided with the inexplicable golden light that appeared on the two of them near the ground. After paying the price of one person vomiting blood and falling, and the other having the bones on the right half of their body fractured, they actually blocked Xia De's attack.
"What kind of power is this again?"
At this moment, even stranger power surged from behind the two enemies. The two enemies retreated rapidly, and the strong spiritual pollution power that had clearly disappeared just now appeared again.
Wei Ge's violent coughing also sounded. Out of caution, Xia De did not pursue, but came to Wei Ge's side.
She looked a bit disheveled at this moment, her face pale and her lips white, with fine sweat on her head. Her golden eyes looked at Xia De with a bit of stubbornness and apology. She didn't want Xia De to see her looking so disheveled.
Xia De didn't say a word, just handed his left hand to her.
The witch pursed her lips, then bit Xia De's left hand and sucked hard.
Adele, who was above the low cliff, saw this scene clearly, but she had already learned about this when she was at "Fragrant Mansion" a few days ago, so she was more concerned about the situation of the three people from the "Alliance of the Holy Child" at this moment.
At this moment, the remains of the female sorcerer who had been blown to pieces by Xia De's arrow had disappeared from the water-logged ground. The hooded woman reappeared, her body intact and still holding that thing with a strong sense of oppression in her arms. Even Adele couldn't see how she had done it:
"That thing she's holding..."
The heavily injured tenth-ring sorcerer and ninth-ring sorcerer seemed to have known this would happen. They still didn't look back, and while looking at Xia De and Wei Ge, they asked:
"Holy Mother, do you allow us to use that power?"
The voice of the "Holy Mother Holding the Child" was low and hoarse, sounding extremely fragile and sensitive:
"Allowed."
A slash made of bright red moonlight was slashed out by Xia De, but then a golden halo erupted from the two people of the "Alliance of the Holy Child," and then the two took a step forward at the same time:
"Holy Form!"
The shield formed by the fusion of the golden halos was shattered with a crack, but the moonlight also disappeared as a result.
And in the golden light flowing in the rain, the injuries of the two were healed instantly. They were taller by a large margin, and their muscles were bulging like small giants. Their behind-the-back life rings appeared automatically, with golden light flowing on the brass life rings, and even golden light appeared in the eyes of the two.
This appearance was quite bluffing, but the elements that enhanced the two were all four types of elements, not the so-called "holy" form at all.
But it had to be admitted that they had indeed become stronger. Although their actual rank had not been improved, this all-around improvement and the special power bestowed by this strange golden light were enough for them to fight against stronger enemies.
Of course, in Xia De's view, this still didn't count as a threat.
"First the 'Alliance of the Holy Child' appeared with 'New Humans,' and now another strange organization has come up with a 'Holy Form.' The changes in this world are really fast."
While Xia De felt emotional—
Crack!
The metal limiters on Wei Ge's wrists and ankles were unfastened one by one. She let out a long breath after releasing her bite, and the raindrops and sweat on her rosy face disappeared. The warm current filling her healthy body and the comfort spreading from her stomach to her whole body even made her feel as if she could shatter fate.
"Take them and leave first."
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said calmly to her maid and Miss Cruz beside her. The two could feel that their mistress had almost completely recovered her health, so they each picked up an injured person and disappeared along the riverbank quickly.
"Although I don't know what these three are, I can feel the order in the chaotic elemental tide. The 'Holy Form' is not entirely their own power; this power comes from the thing held by the woman behind them."
Wei Ge said in the rain, feeling the bloody taste in her mouth and the excitement of being filled with warm life fire:
"They will not stay away from that thing, otherwise they will directly lose the power they borrowed now. First, deal with these two. They are not the big trouble; the woman behind them is."
"Then—Thunder Spear!"
"Chaos Echo!"
"Solve these two first; the woman behind them is the big trouble. Don't think about catching captives; this kind of person won't give us a chance. You cast the spell, use whatever attack you want, and I will show you my power in my current state."
"That's good—Thunder Spear!"
"Chaotic Echo!"
