Chapter 4062: Blooming Under the Blood Moon

*Crack! *

The clear sound of shattering was even clearer than the sound of the various Thirteenth-Tier casting spells at this moment. Although most "Sources of Fire" had to be made using 【Active Metal】 as raw materials, this thing was not a Relic in its entirety after all, so it did not have the characteristic of being indestructible.

The "Madonna of the Infant" on the other side also realized the danger of that white sun. The void light was erasing everything around it, and she was not even at the Thirteenth Tier.

So the woman holding the baby let the "Giant God Soldier" rush toward that ball of white sun, while she herself quickly fled in a direction away from the white light.

As the giant statue lunged upward, all the eyes on its entire body, including the Source of Fire in the very center of its chest, flashed red light at the same frequency, and the speed of the flashing became faster and faster.

After it was completely thrown into that ball of white sun—

*Boom! *

The blood-colored city and the surrounding blood sea trembled violently. The light for a moment made people outside the maze close their eyes.

Although the maze did not shatter because of this, after the light dissipated, in the very center of the blood-colored city, the space of the real world and the space of the maze were intertwined. Blood light and the wilderness of the rainy day merged with each other, making the scenery look like an abstract painting in just a fleeting moment.

Space was slowly repairing itself, and this "Giant God Soldier" replicated from a Relic disappeared completely because of severe damage. Everything, including the Source of Fire and all the magic eyes on it, was waiting for the next summoning.

"So, the Source of Fire on the statue, its main body is on the Keeper-level Relic 【Master Char's Alchemy Manuscript】!"

From the core of that chaotic space, the figures of Xia De and Ellie reappeared. The little unicorn had just blocked the explosion of the statue for Xia De and was somewhat listless at this moment, but fortunately, it was not injured.

Xia De, who was still in the state of maze fusion, patted its little head, and then bit his finger to take out a long bow flashing with red moon light using his own blood as material:

"Blood Moon Arc Light!"

The long bow was aimed at the direction where the "Madonna of the Infant" was fleeing, and the arrow nocked was the Moonlight Greatsword combined with Xivi's power.

The thin sword left brilliant silver light in the air, hit the back of the "Madonna of the Infant" directly, and blew her and the thing she was holding directly into pieces. Xia De knew she would be reborn at the main body of "Abomination," so he turned and flew toward the Blood-Weeper who was being besieged.

And Adele outside the maze revealed a smile at this moment. The ritual that had been prepared for a long time was activated, time became slow in her eyes, and then she saw the trace left by the "Madonna of the Infant" at the moment she was shattered in the reflection of time and space.

"This time, I found you."

Adele turned and flew toward the source of that trace. She still remembered what this woman had said on the night of last Friday.

And in the maze, the explosion of the Giant God Soldier and the counter-impact of the "Light of Annihilation," although it did not make the maze collapse completely, had made the maze itself extremely unstable.

When Xia De arrived at the position where Vanessa and the others were besieging "Hermons," this "Blood-Weeper" was truly weeping blood. He covered the Source of Fire on his chest, looking like he was supporting himself in the siege with all his strength, but after seeing Xia De arrive, he immediately laughed crazily:

"God-Caller, I was waiting for you. You really came! Without using the Source of Fire you possess, how much spirit do you have left now? I can't leave, and I won't let you leave!"

He withstood the siege of the other three and plunged into the blood-colored city that had been mostly submerged by the blood river. His body actually drilled into those soft red mud that looked like flesh-and-blood material.

*Thump-thump~ thump-thump~ thump-thump~*

Huge heartbeat sounds immediately came from the depths of the earth. On the surface of the "Blood-Colored City," scarlet protrusions like blood light extended to the surroundings. Surging life energy spread toward the entire maze, thereby making this city, which originally looked like it was alive, truly possess life in the real sense.

The Thirteenth-Tier Shushi of the 【Church of Dawn】, "Hand of Radiance," had a great change in complexion. He saw what the other party was trying to do:

"Hermons, this madman! He wants to use his Source of Fire to infect the 【House of Falsehoods】, use his own flesh and blood to assimilate the flesh and blood of the Falsehoods, and thereby make the 【House of Falsehoods】 become a part of him!"

This was definitely Hermons' temporary idea in a desperate situation. Even if he were crazier, no one would prepare such a plan in advance. This kind of deep-level fusion with a Relic was something even the 【Truth Society】 would not dare to carry out rashly.

The Falsehoods clearly did not want to be assimilated into a part of humans. The violently resisting maze made everything around it even more strange and bizarre.

Three red suns transformed from giant meat masses appeared in the sky, and in the blood river rippling in the city, different faces and limbs were generated on the surface of the blood-red river every second and then swallowed again.

Rumbling sounds came from all over the city. Every building in the flesh-and-blood city was touching and merging with each other in the trembling, but they were also differentiating in the fusion. The scenery of the city was changing and alternating rapidly, just as if someone had accelerated the time here.

Including Xia De, no one present had any way to forcibly interrupt Hermons' actions at this moment. The situation had now changed from a battle between Ringed Shushi to a battle between the Blood-Weeper and the 【House of Falsehoods】.

The Blood-Weeper would likely be defeated and die because of this. This ending looked too ridiculous, so much so that Xia De completely did not believe the other party had no other backup plans.

"You guys leave first."

So he said to Vanessa, "Hand of Radiance," and "Thunder's Wrath," reaching out to stuff the somewhat listless Ellie into Vanessa's arms, and then shook gently, letting Xivi walk out from his shadow.

Except for the spirit converted from "All-Things Blood Essence" used to open the maze, most of the spirit consumed by casting spells just now was paid by Xivi, and Xia De had been using 【Life Tempering】, so his state at this moment was still okay:

"You guys leave first."

He said again, and the witches and Ringed Shushi nodded:

"Please be careful."

Then they left with Ellie, quickly retreating toward the edge of the maze, leaving only Xia De suspended above the flesh-and-blood city that was still changing violently.

The three blood-red suns had now evolved from meat masses into meat blocks resembling eyes, and dense eyes had grown on the ground at some unknown time. This was the manifestation of the "Blood-Weeper's" power infecting the 【House of Falsehoods】.

Adele of the past had said that 【Life Tempering】 could not be used all the time, otherwise the body would assimilate with the world, which meant the body would irreversibly turn into stone.

But I don't know if it was because Xia De's petrification resistance was relatively high, or because this was not a normal world, the continuous use of this Strange Art did not make Xia De feel any discomfort. Instead, it made him feel that his control over flesh-and-blood abilities had vaguely become higher.

Grace and Helen were supporting everyone to leave at the edge of the maze. When Ellie turned her head to look back worriedly, she saw Xia De raising his right hand toward the high place, and a red moon appeared in the blood-colored sky again.

When the blood light of the red moon shone on Xia De, this time, giant translucent red petals appeared beside Xia De like an illusion. Then, the petals closed inward in the process of condensing into a physical entity, until a huge closed flower bud appeared above the vibrating maze.

"Strange Art: Flower of the Corrupt Moon."

According to Miss Danister, the use of this Strange Art should be to summon a flower and hold it in the hand. The appearance of the current scene was because Xia De had poured almost all the normal life fire in the mark of his palm into the process of this spellcasting.

The red moon obtained life, so the huge Flower of the Corrupt Moon seemed to turn into a physical entity. In the scarlet color that the closed petals radiated toward the surroundings, this time it was clearly stained with the dim yellow light from the 【Wither Ring of Fire】.

Flesh-and-blood decay, flesh-and-blood withering, flesh-and-blood distortion—all the power was concentrated in the flower that was about to bloom. When the people who left the maze looked back again outside the blood sea, they happened to see that moon flower bloom.

The closed flower bud split a thin crack from the very top, and the light intertwined with dim yellow and scarlet shone toward the entire world. The light was clearly radiating upward, but at this moment, all the flesh and blood in the maze were shrouded in it.

The speed of the flower blooming was not fast, and in the process of feather-like translucent petals falling from the void, the flesh and blood surging on the surface of the city lost its luster at a speed visible to the naked eye. Those newly generated faces, limbs, and eyes had not had time to wriggle and resist before they turned into soft, rotten blood mud and deposited in the fluttering of the petals, as if the entire city was melting.

The flower buds in the air spread outward layer by layer, the edges of the translucent red petals were haloed with withered dim yellow, and with the unfolding of each huge petal, a ring-shaped ripple spread.

Wherever the ripples passed, the melting and collapse of the flesh-and-blood city were more rapid. Flesh-and-blood decay made the city return to the state of meat mud, while flesh-and-blood withering made the wriggling flesh-and-blood walls shrivel rapidly.

The dense eyes that opened on the ground collapsed from the eye sockets, leaving only empty holes dripping with black-red viscous liquid. Even the three blood-colored giant eyes in the high sky that had evolved from meat masses were blinking crazily.

Crimson light erupted outward, wanting to resist the power of withering and decay, but when the light of the Blood Moon Flower descended, they could only rot like rotten red apples until they turned into foul-smelling blood rain and merged into the earth again.

Translucent scarlet petals danced in the flesh-and-blood city, and the ground had turned into a rotten meat pit. The scenery in the maze was receding rapidly, and the remaining flesh-and-blood city scenery was trembling, as if a dying person was making a final struggle.

Vanessa and Xivi looked at that scarlet moon flower that had completed its grand blooming. Although they still couldn't see Xia De's figure, they both inexplicably felt fear:

"Even if he relies only on himself, can he already do this much?" ===== CHAPTER 4063 =====
