Chapter 3974

Such powerful twisted life force being compressed and launched will surely cause more serious problems for this land on the mountain ridge after this battle ends.

But now is not the time to consider this point. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na and the thirteen-ring Shushis immediately supported their shields. Xia De, who did not consider that he was in a conscious state at this moment, also subconsciously chose to cast the "Night Veil Seal."

Thus, the seal shield flowing with dark firelight actually appeared. The crimson light and the deep night fire collided with each other, and Xia De felt his mental power passing away rapidly.

"Such a huge consumption? Never mind, anyway, Lei Qianya has been found. Leave the rest to Yin Yi Yi Lu Na and the others."

At this moment, Lei Qianya's state was already very bad. Although her consciousness was still there, it had fallen into silence, sticking to Xia De as if glued to him.

Xia De, who had made up his mind, no longer cared about the huge loss of mental power. Under the impact of the crimson firelight, even with the joint obstruction of everyone's shields and the night veil, his flame body was slowly retreating.

"Next, leave it to you!"

He spoke for the first time since manifesting, but in essence, he only caused sound by vibrating the air with energy.

In the night veil, the flame giant pinched the seal with his left hand, and in his right hand, which was in a lifting posture, flames of almost completely transparent chaotic colors were gathering.

The main body's body is not here, and Xia De can only use a small part of the power of the "First Fire." But this time, he drew the fire transformed from his own consciousness, mixed with part of the power permeated from his own Source of Fire, and launched the following spell in the form of mixed flames:

"Chaos Residue!"

The translucent but still terrifying chaos fire turned into a rotating fireball, which was slapped forward by the flame giant the moment the night veil shattered.

The next moment, the world seemed to return to the explosion light of chaos and nothingness. When the light disappeared, the entire east wing of the 【Church of Creation】 was razed to the ground, but fortunately, there were no casualties because of the early evacuation.

And in that battlefield, only the body of the golem's chest core remained in the light of the "Source of Fire," and "Construct Master" Gerald Delong and his supporters barely survived by relying on the shield transformed from the golem's chest part.

Opposite them, the flame giant's body was slowly turning into nothingness, disappearing into the air. What remained at the end was the crimson vertical pupil, but this time people were very sure that before that huge flame vertical pupil also disappeared, they all glimpsed the shadow of a blood moon in that vertical pupil.

"God Caller, it really is you."

【Outlander, you have glimpsed the secret of "Life and Creation."】

【You have obtained the spell - Life Ray: At the cost of permanently consuming the essence of life, project life force outward.】

"Isn't this the move the golem used just now? Consuming the essence of life, what kind of ghost spell is this... Oh!"

Xia De, who opened his eyes, groaned in pain, not only because of the splitting headache due to the huge mental loss, but more importantly, the severe pain all over his body.

The cat was startled by him, hurriedly jumped to the side, and then looked at him worriedly. When Lei Qianya woke up, what she saw were the panicked girls surrounding the bed, and Xia De had already torn open his jacket and shirt, revealing his upper body.

At this moment, in the center of his chest, a red lump like an eye protruded. And with that red lump as the center, red marks like blood vessels emitting crimson light spread on the body surface, as if that red lump was spreading power to his body.

After Lei Qianya woke up, she felt like she had a dream, but after a brief daze, she immediately realized everything that had just happened:

"He just used the power of the Source of Fire!"

She almost pounced on Xia De. She didn't know what she could do at this moment, just wanted to use her embrace to calm him down a little.

"Meow~"

But a shrill cat cry sounded, and Little Mia stopped Lei Qianya's "adding to the chaos" with an intimidating voice.

And under the worried gaze of the maid ladies and Miss MacDonald, Xia De endured the pain of his body and mind at this moment, dug his right hand into the center of his chest, and then forcibly dug out the protruding eye-shaped "lump" in his chest.

Blood splattered on the pillows and quilts of the bed. What Xia De dug out was of course not the "Source of Fire." That thing was still on the bed, stepped on by Little Mia's claws. What he dug out was his own flesh and blood.

Xia De just used his own consciousness to construct a body manifested in reality with the "Source of Fire" as the core. Even if he was careful, his consciousness was still contaminated with the power of the "Source of Fire." And after his consciousness returned to his body, the power contaminated in his consciousness acted on his body in turn, and the abnormal life force eventually led to the appearance of this lump at the core of his body.

Although digging out his own flesh and blood with his bare hands was very painful, it was at least much lighter than the pain all over his body caused by the lump.

He gasped for breath to recover his mental power, spread his hands to let everyone see the thing he dug out. To the naked eye, it already looked very similar to a real eye.

"Spell · Life Fire!"

Xia De, enduring the pain, continued to cast the spell, drawing out the "Twisted Life Fire Seed" contained in this piece of flesh and blood, and then letting it merge into the Source of Fire stepped on by Little Mia's right front paw. The amount of fire seed this time was far more than the sum of the five corpses last night.

And that piece of flesh and blood belonging to Xia De did not simply "die." After being stripped of the fire seed, it quickly turned into a strange thing similar to red stone material, and then turned into a handful of white ash, disappearing completely.

This is different from the performance of other flesh-and-blood creatures after being deprived of the "Life Fire Seed," but Xia De is still having a headache at this moment, and has no mind to think about this.

Xia De had swallowed countless more terrifying things before. This time, his body appeared abnormal, actually because he failed to digest that portion of life energy in a short time, which was somewhat similar to his serious illness for more than half a month after swallowing the "Source of the Filthy Earth" last spring.

If given time, he might also be able to assimilate that twisted life force with himself, but because he didn't know the consequences, Xia De didn't have this plan.

"Oh!"

Lei Qianya, who was staring blankly at Xia De's series of actions, then pounced on Xia De. This time Little Mia did not stop her. And Lei Qianya did not care about Xia De's bloodstains at this moment, her eyes were red and her lips were pursed, looking like she was about to cry.

"Miss! Mr. Watson's wounds still need treatment!"

Seeing that Lei Qianya had hugged him, Miss MacDonald hurriedly reminded, and then ordered the maid ladies to get potions for external wounds and mental recovery.

Lei Qianya also didn't care about her own situation. She sobbed and hugged Xia De's neck, and tried her best not to let her body touch the terrifying wound on Xia De's chest. This might be difficult for Tifa and Winnie, but it was relatively simple for her.

"Sorry, sorry, you were hurt because of me again."

"It's okay, I'm fine now."

After the lump in his chest was dug out, Xia De actually felt that his mental power and injuries were recovering rapidly. He shook his head slowly, and then Lei Qianya's slightly red eyes raised, looking at Xia De.

The moment the two looked at each other, their breathing became heavier at the same time. Lei Qianya realized that she was on her own bed, hugging Xia De who was exposing his upper body. The hot skin and the face close at hand made her feel that her body temperature was getting higher and higher.

And the huge life force that had been digested in Xia De's body also showed its effect at this moment. Unlike the essence in the "perfume bottle" which triggers pure desire, what the vigorous life force triggers at this moment is the human instinctual thought—that is, the thing people most want to do after being full and having nothing to do.

The perfume scent of Lei Qianya and the faint fragrance she carried with her were more obvious than ever at this moment.

The two, who already had some thoughts about each other, got closer and closer in their gaze, and both saw in each other's eyes that the other party seemed to be the same as themselves at this moment.

Cute Little Mia stood on the side with her head tilted, feeling that this scene was very familiar; Miss MacDonald did not go to get the wound medicine, but stood by the bed and stopped talking. Although she was a pure girl, this did not mean she didn't know what the situation was now.

Thinking about the time spent with Xia De over the past week, the tall girl bit her lip, and a complicated feeling emerged in her heart, but she did not speak out to interrupt.

Thus, Lei Qianya and Xia De got closer and closer, and kissed for the first time officially. After their lips touched, both sides burst into greater enthusiasm. Lei Qianya's arms completely wrapped around Xia De's neck, and Xia De also reached out to hug her.

Eve MacDonald's face on the side became redder and redder, her hands clasped together twisted slightly, and the strange feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger. Then she realized that she seemed a little unhappy at this moment.

However, the Outlander is no longer in the state of two years ago. He still maintained the most basic clarity, knowing that he absolutely should not do more things. Lei Qianya's state was a bit wrong.

But Lei Qianya Astley obviously didn't think so. The sour feelings that already existed were superimposed with the gratitude and guilt of being saved again, plus the push of the thoughts in the depths of her soul that she hadn't even noticed, she felt that she was ready.

Her legs moved to get closer to Xia De, but before she could perform more actions according to instinct—

"Master, the potions are all brought—ah!"

The maids who rushed back to the room saw the scene at this moment, all stopped their steps and showed surprised or even terrified expressions.

Xia De finally pushed Lei Qianya away, covering his forehead to make himself clearer, but he felt that his mental power seemed to have recovered a lot. Sure enough, a happy mood helps mental recovery. And the originally ferocious wound on his chest had recovered a lot at this time, at least it was no longer bleeding.

As for Lei Qianya, the housekeeper Miss Rollin saw for the first time the terrifying expression on her master's face that wanted to eat her alive. She realized that she seemed to have interrupted the occurrence of something important at the most inappropriate time.
