Chapter 418

"If I don't get close to the ocean, my heart..."

The princess raised her hand to cover her chest; Xia De subconsciously associated it with some things, but realized that it was the flesh and blood of 【Desire】 that had an impact on him.

"My heart feels empty, very uncomfortable, really very uncomfortable, as if my soul is entangled by hot chains. I tried to get close to the ocean; this distance now is the maximum distance I can endure. Although there is still that kind of impulse, and I can feel the call of this red ocean to me, but a few hours is still acceptable."

"What does that feel like?"

Xia De asked again.

"I can feel that there is something in the deep sea calling me, calling me to fuse with it."

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath:

"Even as long as I close my eyes, I seem to have come to that huge ancient underwater temple in my dream, seeing that..."

"Open your eyes!"

Xia De suddenly raised his voice, and Princess Lei Qianya looked at him in confusion.

"Don't look at that thing anymore; that's not a good thing."

The huge mermaid corpse in the temple was the body once used by the Evil God. Regardless of whether that corpse still had power, this was not something mortals should look at.

He looked toward the end of the ocean; the yellow sky and the red ocean seemed to fuse completely at the edge of his vision. According to the steps of the ritual, after the red ocean appeared, that huge mermaid corpse would carry giant waves to completely submerge Lengshuigang.

Now the mermaid corpse had not appeared, and Princess Lei Qianya could control the impulse to step into the ocean. But once that corpse arrived in the near sea, Xia De was very worried about the princess's situation.

This curse was far stronger than he thought.

Xia De did not leave Princess Lei Qianya's side, and before the power bestowed by that piece of flesh and blood faded, he went to find the witch, Dac Nisi, or the cult priests on the coast. He stood with the princess, watching the rain get heavier and heavier, and the violent waves get more and more surging.

In the sound of this rain, what Xia De felt was tranquility. He rarely had the opportunity to stop like this and observe this world.

"Speaking of which..."

Princess Lei Qianya spoke again; she was a bit hesitant:

"How come I feel that you left for a few hours, and your skin has become so good? What did you encounter?"

Xia De thought of that beautiful face that almost changed his aesthetic view, and the corners of his mouth twitched:

"Mermaid."

"Mermaid? I have heard rumors that the Aurora family has a relationship with mermaids. Does Miss Xivi Aurora really know mermaids?"

"No, it was introduced by cultists."

Xia De touched his face:

"Is my change very big?"

"The change is not big, it's just... looking better."

Princess Lei Qianya blushed.

Xia De had not found a mirror to observe his face, but after so many changes in body shape and appearance, people who knew the original owner Xia De, even if they met him again, would probably not recognize him at all.

In just twenty minutes, the waves that were only slapping the beach could almost slap the small garden behind the manor.

With the gloom of the sky, the color of the ocean also became deeper and deeper. Although this metaphor was not appropriate, the color of the ocean was gradually changing from inferior wine to the true color of blood.

In the sound of the towering waves, accompanied by the long conch horn sound coming from nowhere, the 'woo-woo' sound made everyone in the near-sea area subconsciously look toward the depths of the ocean.

The largest tide so far was appearing from the position where the sky and the sea met. And behind that tide, one could vaguely see a huge thing coming along with the ocean current.

"Finally here."

Xia De looked up and looked upward, his line of sight passing through the cracks of the grape trellis, looking at the sky over the grapevines. He reached out to catch some rainwater and found that the rainwater falling from the sky had actually turned red.

【Outsider, you have felt blasphemy.】

"It seems that this rainwater also has problems; you guys, go back to the building."

He immediately turned to say to the two maids, but the maid ladies shook their heads.

"You guys, go back."

Princess Lei Qianya also said so, and only then did the maids behind her hand the fishing rod to Xia De and run toward the building with umbrellas. Only Xia De was left holding the fishing rod, and Princess Lei Qianya was holding the last umbrella to shade the two from the rain.

Xia De's judgment was completely correct; as the conch horn sound of unknown origin echoed in the sky, the red rainwater gradually became viscous, until it was like blood, leaving large and disgusting traces on the ground.

From the courtyard in front of Aurora Manor, people shaking one by one walked heavily toward the beach. They did not pay attention to Xia De and the princess under the grape trellis; their eyes were dull, and there were red and swollen fish-man tattoos on their faces, exactly the same as Princess Lei Qianya's situation.

Now Xia De knew where so many cursed people came from; this abnormal rainwater could actually spread the curse, but the efficiency of the spread was far from being comparable to the mermaid statue as the source.

And as the red rain and new victims stepped into the ocean, under the sky in the far distance, a dazzling white beam of light shot from the seabed toward the sky. And accompanied by that beam of celestial light connecting the clouds and the ocean, that indescribable female body, which possessed both beauty and ugliness, as if traveling from behind the curtain of distant time and space, was revealed from under the water surface.

Around her body, one could vaguely see the phantom of a huge building complex; calculated by the height of the building complex, that female who only exposed her upper body was about the height of a five-story building.

Because the distance was somewhat far, Xia De could only vaguely see her appearance. She and the illusory ancient stone building complex around her body were coming along with the waves. That water wall that had already risen would probably slap half of the city at once.

More than ten figures flew over his head; they were the church's ring-warlocks and professors who came to support from the academy. At the same time, giant steamships docked at the harbor set off together, against the direction of the tide, under the protection of various spiritual lights, sailing toward the monster behind the waves.

The sound of drums that seemed to make the earth vibrate sounded abruptly; that was the direction of the Natural Church, and this drum sound, accompanied by the sound of an unknown metal horn, actually suppressed the sound of the conch for a short time.

And in a position Xia De could not see for the time being, the ancient lighthouses guarding Lengshuigang by the sea were shining slightly; Mr. Edmund and more lighthouse keepers were cooperating with the church to debug the lighthouses, waiting for the power of these lighthouses that had been guarding the coastline since ancient times to be completely awakened.

Seeing that the giant mermaid corpse had already appeared, Xia De also wanted to go into the sea to see the situation. But Princess Lei Qianya beside him suddenly groaned, the umbrella in her hand fell, and she covered her forehead and almost couldn't stand firm.
