Chapter 4011: Flower of the Corrupt Moon

Afterward, Xia De talked about Miss Feilian asking him to find a way to suppress the power of "Wither." Luvia knew nothing about this, and Winnie had only heard of it:

"This is a very ancient power, the manifestation of the opposite of life. The last time power related to Wither appeared was some terrifying evil spirits and demons in the Third Era. Since the end of the era when demons were rampant, there has been no clear record related to 'Wither' again.

Perhaps some specific relics contain this power, but for specific information, you still need to find it yourself."

"Then Winnie, will the power of Wither also affect you?"

Luvia asked curiously, and Xia De also said:

"Winnie, I can feel life force from your body, but your life form is very different from ours."

The Ice Maid nodded gently:

"Although I am also life, I indeed will not be affected too much by 'Wither.' I am blessed by the world and nature, which can effectively help me resist this externally applied effect of life withering. I think I can probably give you the power to temporarily suppress Wither in the form of a 'blessing.'

But I have never done this before, so it is best to find the power of 'Wither' in this era and bring it to me for me to try before I can give a final answer."

Thus, Xia De's mission changed from "finding a way to suppress Wither" to "finding power related to Wither."

With the three purposes of "asking about the Fire Seed Source," "searching for Wither," and "learning Red Moon·Flesh Distortion," Xia De came to the library of St. Byrons on this Saturday morning.

It is now the middle of the spring semester, and there are many students in the library on Saturday. Dannister happened to be in the library today. Seeing Xia De coming, she put down the relic containment report she was reading and signaled Xia De to sit down and talk:

"Didn't go to Arcadia today?"

"The Speaker of the Witch Council is over there, I'd better avoid it."

But the manager lady herself did not want to "avoid it." When she first had an intimate relationship with Xia De last year, she would cover it up a little in the library, but now she directly patted the sofa, let Xia De sit near her, and then grabbed his hand very affectionately:

"Then you came to find me, did something happen again?"

Xia De told the story of this 80-minute trip to the 【Polluted Blood Factory】 again. When he heard that Miss Feilian came to help them in person, Dannister also breathed a sigh of relief.

But when Xia De asked about the "Fire Seed Source," the female sorceress shook her head very definitely:

"After you created that Fire Seed Source, I looked for relevant information in the academy. I am very sure that at least in the information currently available in the academy, there is no relevant description of the 'Fire Seed Source,' and it is even more impossible for the Fire Seed Source you described to exist.

I can organize people to search again, but the possibility of finding it is not very high."

Xia De also knew it wouldn't be that simple:

"It doesn't matter, after all, I still have one chance to go to the 【Polluted Blood Factory】. When we really get out of danger, I can discuss with Miss Feilian and the others how to deal with that Fire Seed Source."

As for the matter of "Wither," Dannister knew some:

"This is a very dangerous power; I only know that it exists on some relics. For example, the Angel-level relic 【Manuscript of the Requiem of Silence】 currently collected by the academy is a music manuscript written in demonic language. Even if it is just unfolded, it has the powerful power to wither all life around it.

But this cannot be lent to you; this relic is considered the most dangerous one among the Angel-level relics currently contained by the academy. It has the risk of going out of control at every moment, and the academy sends three professionally trained twelve-ring professors to sprinkle high-concentration holy water on the manuscript every 12 hours.

If this relic goes out of control in a densely populated city like Arcadia, the impact caused in a short period of time can be compared to the decisive battles of the previous Chosen One wars."

Xia De certainly would not use such a dangerous thing, and besides, he just wanted to let Winnie test whether she could suppress "Wither," not wanting Winnie to challenge an Angel-level relic. As for using the power of "Wither" to counter the twisted life fire seed, it clearly did not need an Angel-level relic.

"Then are there any weaker, more stable relics related to 'Wither'? Even better if it's not a relic; the power of 'Wither' can help me deal with the 'Twisted Life Fire Seed'."

Dannister thought carefully and shook her head regretfully:

"As far as I know, no. The power of 'Wither' is too ancient. Except for relics, I can't think of anything else that can have this power. The relics related to this power that I know of have a minimum danger level of Sage-level, and they are all the kind of relics that are extremely prone to going out of control.

However, you won't open the key for the third time until at least a week later, right? I'll think of a way for you this week; perhaps the church can provide some help."

Xia De nodded, and then Xia De proposed that he wanted to master the power of flesh-and-blood distortion related to the "Red Moon," which was very simple for Dannister:

"The problem is not what I can teach, the problem is what you want to learn."

The female sorceress was very confident:

"In terms of using the power of the Red Moon, I am confident that no one in this era can surpass me. Although I rarely use it, whether it is using one's own bones to cast spells for bone proliferation, or using the Red Moon to corrupt corpses to control rotten meat puppets, or even casting curses on living people to distort their minds and corrupt their flesh, I know all of these.

I can also summon the flood of Red Moon moonlight to cast a Red Moon curse of flesh-and-blood corruption on an entire area; I can also use Red Moon energy to transform my own blood, generating a large number of parasitic spores invisible to the naked eye to enter the target's body and then frantically multiply and gnaw on their own body."

Xia De indeed rarely saw Dannister use this aspect of power:

"I don't quite understand what Miss Feilian wants me to do by mastering this power. Currently, I am not sure about the time of the next departure, so I want to learn as much as possible about miracles that have the highest matching degree with 'Flesh Distortion' and are extremely difficult.

Even if it is a thirteen-ring miracle, I am willing to try."

"Is that so..."

She held Xia De's hand and thought for a while, and soon had an idea:

"Then let's do this—【Flower of the Corrupt Moon】. This miracle has a very clear source. A certain Witch Empress at the end of the Fifth Era used it in that earth-shattering Witch Empress War, causing an area larger than the entire Delarion now to fall into a Red Moon curse permanently.

Later, an unknown person transformed this witch secret art into a miracle that ring sorcerers can learn. The specific effect of the miracle has not actually changed much—

Summon Red Moon moonlight to shine on oneself, then form a corrupt red flower in the hand, and when that corrupt Red Moon flower blooms, the entire area will indiscriminately fall into a powerful curse of flesh-and-blood distortion and flesh-and-blood corruption."

This miracle sounded indeed very powerful:

"Dannister, have you used this?"

Xia De asked curiously, and Dannister nodded gently:

"More than ten years ago, when I went with the principal to deal with an out-of-control Angel-level relic that almost triggered an undead disaster, I used it once. When the Flower of the Corrupt Moon bloomed, those walking corpses all rotted into meat mud.

It's a pity that most of the undead that appeared in Midhillburg were vengeful spirits, not walking corpses or ghouls with entities, otherwise, I might have had a chance to use it again."

"In this way, when dealing with living people or corpses that have abnormal life fire seeds, this miracle can also take effect? Although even if the flesh and blood of corpses and living people are distorted or even ulcerated, their flesh and blood still exist in activity, but at least in a short period of time, it can make them completely lose their ability to act. This will be very effective for dealing with large quantities of enemies."

Xia De guessed, and Dannister nodded gently:

"Makes sense... Then let's set the learning goal as this for now, right?"

"No problem, I want to learn this."

"That's good, I'll prepare the materials for you and observe whether there is any celestial phenomenon suitable for learning miracles recently. However, you'd better not use this miracle easily in our era; the pollution caused by this miracle can be compared to your 【Scarlet Breath】.

When Teacher Helena taught me this miracle, she also warned me like this."

Since she took the initiative to mention Ms. Carter, Xia De mentioned Miss Feilian's conjecture that the hatching of the dragon egg actually requires time.

But Dannister also had no good ideas about this; accelerating time cannot be used, and waiting for hundreds of years is not practical, so currently, one can only look forward to what effect Xia De's mission reward this time will have.

"I have another conjecture: if the life fire seed is injected into the dragon egg, will the soul produce a slight reaction due to the injection of life force?"

Xia De said again, Dannister thought for a while, took Xia De's hand and stood up:

"Let's go, come back to the tower with me."

The flower pot burying the dragon egg has always been placed by Dannister in her bedroom, because the dragon egg is very large, so the flower pot is of course also very large.

The mud in the flower pot was introduced by Emilia, and Dannister dug it from under the roots of the Holy Tree of the Moon Creek Elves, and the water poured every day was a diluted solution of "Moonlight Water."

Dannister did not take the dragon egg out of the flower pot, but carefully used her hands to push away the mud, letting Xia De see the top of the dragon egg shell. After another week, it still had no change.

"Use my life force."

Because that normal Fire Seed Source does not exist in reality, Xia De wanted to cast a spell on himself. But Dannister grabbed his hand and pulled his hand to her chest:

"Use my life force."

She emphasized it again, Xia De did not object, after all, this is just an attempt, no need to extract too much.
