Chapter 517: Demons of the Past

Xia De, on the other side, did not know that because he left home too hurriedly, although he didn't leave anything behind, he had brought something extra.

He was currently crawling on the ground, holding his breath, enduring the headache, and listening to the sharp, piercing singing.

Ahead was the source of the singing. The plants in the central area of the cornfield had all been pressed down, forming a circular area. Dozens of Servants of Secrecy wearing black robes were dancing crazily and singing around a bonfire built of human bones.

They clearly only had one eye on their faces, but they could still make sounds. And that bonfire was an even deeper black, deeper than the darkness around, just looking at it made one instinctively feel fear and danger.

It seemed that everything in the world could fall into eternal sleep in the black bonfire in the center of the cornfield. The slightly trembling black flames seemed to represent the end of everything.

If it weren't for the temperature of divinity in his soul constantly warming Xia De, he would probably fall into a deep sleep and fall into eternal sleep at this moment. After immediately shifting his gaze away, his soul seemed to still feel the coldness, silence, and emptiness of that instant just now.

"What is this again?"

Xia De asked in a small voice in his heart, but didn't get any answer. He raised his head again, looking toward the slightly left position from the gap of the corn stalks. There was a somewhat illusory space on the left side of the circular open space.

This was a space fracture produced after darkness dissolved space. Once entering that area, one would be transferred to other locations in the 【Darkness Domain】.

"Luweiya's divination couldn't be for us to deal with these demons, so, the meaning of the divination is to pass through this space anomaly point and head to other locations... It shouldn't be able to appear directly in front of Dacnisi, right? No, it shouldn't be that lucky."

Xia De deduced in his heart, narrowed his eyes, and thought for a while.

If he were alone, he would only need to rush out of the cornfield and use 【Lagley's Jump】 to step forward before those demons reacted. He could completely enter that space anomaly area before being attacked to death.

But he still had Luweiya by his side, and where he would appear after passing through that special area, and whether he would need to fight immediately afterward, Xia De couldn't guess.

"Go back and discuss with Luweiya, but in any case, it is good news at present."

He listened to the singing composed of sharp, piercing, blasphemous words praying to the God of Darkness, and carefully crawled backward.

The scene of demons praying in the open space was blocked by dense black corn stalks. Xia De crawled backward little by little, and then heard the singing become even more manic.

He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and at the same time, the voice in his heart was prompting that the whisper elements around were becoming more and more intense.

【Lower your head!】

Xia De, who had already crawled backward for dozens of feet, suddenly felt the cold wind fly over his head instantly.

The influence area of the human-bone darkness bonfire was expanding with the progress of the ritual. In the howling of the Servants of Secrecy, more corn stalks fell downward, expanding the area of the ritual venue.

So, Xia De, who was hiding in it, was exposed.

He patted the dirt on his body and stood up. The singing in his ears stopped. He raised his head and looked, dozens of vertical pupils were looking at him. I don't know if it was because his eyes adapted to seeing things in the darkness, but with the help of eye medicine, the range Xia De could see was getting larger and larger.

"Really, I thought the reason I was discovered would be a ridiculous reason like accidentally breaking a branch."

He was neither afraid nor scared, stuffed that 【Youthful Eternal Leaf】 belonging to Dorothy into his mouth, kissed the 【Demon-Hunting Seal】 on his hand, and pulled out the 【Moonlight Greatsword】 whose light was severely restricted from the air with his right hand.

The appearance of the two-handed greatsword seemed to stimulate the demons by the bonfire. They made sharp screams together, but didn't charge toward Xia De.

The demons' bodies actually melted in the black firelight, and those flowing darknesses gathered together, finally reconstructing a humanoid creature wearing a black robe and a head taller than Xia De in front of the bonfire.

Its face also only had one vertical pupil, but in the lower half of the clean, white, vertical oval face, there was an extra pitch-black crack.

That crack, suspected to be a mouth, opened:

"What did I see? Moonlight, such pure moonlight!"

This was the language of demons, more blasphemous and more powerful demonic language than the one used by the Servants of Secrecy:

"Welcome to the domain of darkness!"

The mouth made a sharp laugh. It turned around, and both hands pulled thin, long white human bones from the bonfire behind it. They crossed on its chest and knocked against each other. As the black flames wrapped around the bones, its face faced the black sky and let out the sharpest roar so far:

"Please, fall asleep here!"

"Wait, do you recognize the moonlight on my body?"

Xia De stretched out his empty left hand to make a stop gesture, but in fact, it was not seeking an answer at all, but making a forward-pointing gesture while stretching out his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly:

"Mind Blast!"

The three crystals on the crystal ring radiated light at the same time, and the invisible fluctuations radiated from his fingertips. The demon with black fire bones stood stiffly in front of the bonfire. Xia De held the sword with one hand and rushed toward the front. After entering the 10m distance around the demon's body, his body disappeared, and then he appeared from the top of the opponent's head with the greatsword in both hands:

"Ha!"

The moonlight greatsword emitted an even more intense light with the injection of Xia De's spirit and the fluctuation of elements. But the demon stiff in place suddenly raised its hand, and the black fire bones crossed to block the moonlight greatsword. Then it opened its mouth toward Xia De's head, and a deep black shockwave surged out.

"Bad."

He erected the sword body and blocked those even deeper darknesses in the black background while falling. The 【Demon-Hunting Seal】 on his right hand glowed slightly, making even more complex rune chains appear faintly on the transparent silver sword body.

But even so, the darkness surging out from the demon's mouth still shattered the silver greatsword, and then hit Xia De's chest squarely.

In the severe pain, he was knocked flying to the distance. After landing on the edge of the circular cornfield open space, he immediately touched the effect of triggering 【False Immortality】.

Supporting the ground, he stood up with difficulty. Besides the taste of 【Youthful Eternal Leaf】, his mouth was even more full of the taste of blood. He hurriedly took out the test tube and took a sip of water stained with silver spirit light. It was not necessary to waste the 【Youthful Eternal Leaf】 yet.

Just one encounter and Xia De was almost dying. This demon fused from several 【Servants of Secrecy】 could be equivalent to a mid-ring human Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi of 6 or even 7 rings.

Although Xia De had the Demon-Hunting Seal, he was suppressed in the 【Darkness Domain】, while the demon received positive effects from the environment.

"Yes, I recognize the moonlight on your body. A mortal favored by the God of Silver Moon, such pure light, can almost be regarded as a priest of that great sage."

The blasphemous words revealed information that made Xia De somewhat shocked. He stood up leaning on his sword;

"You actually know the Old God of the moon, Silver Moon Sage?"

"Before becoming demons, we were elemental kin of the Old God 【Stalking Darkness】. The individual is the race, but the race is also the individual."

The demon laughed wildly and looked at Xia De:

"We were ordered to guard the corpse of the ancient demon killed by the god here. After the Old God left, the material world went through tens of thousands of years of changes, and we also became different. It has been too long, and the memories about the past in the collective memory have almost disappeared, but I still remember this moonlight, so pure, so fascinating. If I can let you fall asleep here, I think this piece of darkness will become even more powerful."

"Then what did you see me as?"

Xia De asked immediately.

"You, ah~"

The demon laughed wildly. It held the two human bones in its hands high, and then suddenly disappeared in front of the bonfire.

"Damn it, these derivative individuals of relics can transfer in the darkness!"

Xia De realized that there was a sound of wind behind him. The blasphemous language followed the fall of the weapon and entered Xia De's ears:

"How would I know what you are?"

The black fire bones bombarded Xia De's head, but Xia De's figure also disappeared again.

The vertical pupil laughing demon melted into the darkness again and appeared behind Xia De, who had manifested his figure.

Xia De, who had been prepared, threw out his right fist, and the fist wearing the Demon-Hunting Seal hit the opponent's face straight. The demon wanted to melt into the darkness again, but the activated 【Space Stabilization Halo】, although unable to drive away the 【Darkness Domain】, could prohibit any existence other than Xia De from using space power around him.

Bang!

This punch still didn't hit the target. The demon's left hand dropped the weapon and pinched Xia De's fist. The seal touched the other party's hand, and thick smoke with a foul smell rose immediately, but the vertical pupil demon didn't seem to care at all:

"Demon-Hunting Seal? Sure enough, every time we appear, these rings appear like dogs smelling bones."

It pinched Xia De's fist and held Xia De high. Xia De's left hand pulled out the greatsword and stabbed at its chest, but it was immediately knocked into silver fragments by the black fire bones swung by the opponent.

"Not over yet!"

The left hand slashed down in the air, and the silver moon's slash slashed toward the opponent's vertical pupil at close range. But the eye just closed, and the eyelid blocked the moonlight. Immediately after, the left hand tried to use 【Mind Blast】 again, but this time the demon, who had been prepared, laughed wildly and hit Xia De's head hard. Xia De felt the world spin instantly, blood flowed along his cheeks, his spirit couldn't concentrate, and the 【Mind Blast】 failed.

"Pure moonlight, but you don't know how to use it at all."

It dropped the weapon in its right hand, and both hands grabbed Xia De's two hands, holding him high. Then it pulled hard to the sides, as if wanting to tear Xia De in half.

Steam roared, and the whistle sounded. The life ring of a second-ring mage appeared completely behind Xia De, which represented the strongest combat state of a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi:

"You think, I really don't know how to use moonlight?" ===== CHAPTER 518 =====
