Chapter 526

"Yes, they are those nuns, and the Council and the nuns of the 【Spirit Cultivation Sect】 have a very good relationship... what is that expression of yours?"

Difa looked at Xia De suspiciously.

"Actually, I have always thought that the Witch Council didn't have a good relationship with any Ringed Shushi organization."

Xia De said his true thoughts; after all, those witches mostly had strange personalities.

Difa gave him a reproachful look;

"The Speaker has extensive friendships. Why did they come here too? Truly strange. However, these are friends. Xia De, let's catch up. But you don't have to go forward; I will go and contact them to ask about the situation here."

Crossing the area in front was the Milwood Forest where the core of the 【Dark Domain】 was located. At this time, obtaining some information would be very beneficial for the subsequent actions.

Although Difa had to be by Xia De's side to move relatively safely in the core area of the Dark Domain, since those nuns could also emit light, it didn't matter if Difa was temporarily away from Xia De.

The two hurried to catch up. At a safe distance, Xia De stopped, and Difa crossed dozens of meters of darkness alone toward the walking nuns.

They were dressed in white clothes and black skirts, and their steps were basically consistent while walking. If encountered at night, Xia De felt this was more like a group of female ghosts.

Difa's appearance aroused the vigilance of the nuns. Although everyone covered their eyes with eye masks, this didn't seem to affect their perception ability.

Difa gestured and took out a pendant from her neck, thus gaining the trust of the nuns. They talked in low voices for less than three minutes, and then the nuns continued to set off, but looking at the direction, it was not moving forward toward the forest ahead.

Difa turned back to Xia De's side. Looking at her expression, she should have obtained good news:

"The nuns saw Miss half an hour ago and even pointed out the way for Miss!"

"Then where is Miss Miss Jia Lin Na now?"

"The forest ahead, but the forest has been covered by black crystals. At least when they met half an hour ago, Miss's state was still quite good."

Difa pointed forward, and Xia De looked toward that side, clearly seeing the giant black stone pillars as if piercing heaven and earth.

"Any news about Dac Nisi?"

"Another battle occurred nearby forty minutes ago. The nuns said that the sinner possessed by the demon used an extremely filthy form to force back the Ringed Shushi squad from the Church of Dawn that had arrived first, injured the high-tier Ringed Shushi among them, and then also moved toward the center of the domain."

"Then are there any other people nearby?"

"Before we came, three other independent high-tier Ringed Shushi appeared, but they were all forced back by the church people. Besides that, the Steel Right Hand of the Church of Creation should also have gone to the core of the domain, 20 minutes later than Dac Nisi and ten minutes later than Miss. The Blood-Crying Hermons was indeed chased by the Sunlight Greatsword just now. If it weren't for the demon on Dac Nisi, the two Thirteen-Tier Ringed Shushi of the church should have joined forces to make him unable to leave."

Difa said, and walked forward with Xia De. They came a bit late and missed the great battle that happened here. It seemed that everything had reached the end, and they only had time to watch the ending.

"Then what are those nuns here for? How come it sounds like they have been nearby?"

"I don't know either."

Difa shook her head regretfully:

"They also came for the second Chosen One, but it seems not to kill him. But don't worry, the nun Tiffany leading the team this time is only slightly stronger than me, a Seventh-Tier Ringed Shushi, and they have no intention of continuing to move forward."

The nuns only stayed in this direction and only saw people continuing to move forward in this direction, so there should be more than just the few they mentioned in the domain core.

Xia De and Difa continued to walk forward. The thick darkness in this position became denser, and the body could almost feel substantial pressure.

The blessing given to Xia De by Priest Ao Gu Si was being worn out in large quantities, and Difa's state was also a bit bad. But as long as they didn't fight, they could still hold on.

The black granular crystals on the ground became denser and larger. After bidding farewell to the nuns, they soon saw an old man in gray robes lying on the ground in the full-ground crystals.

After approaching, they found he was still alive but had fallen into a deep sleep. After Xia De turned him over, Difa recognized that this was Mr. Modero, an Eleventh-Tier Ringed Shushi from the Church of Peace. Although there were no wounds on the outside, his breathing was very weak.

At this time, it was already evening. Xia De performed treatment for him with 【Cynthia's Silver Moon Blessing】 and 【Satiating Food】, and Difa also took out a small bottle of green potion. After drinking the potion, although Mr. Modero's eyelids moved, as if wanting to open but unable to open.

Xia De then leaned his ear over and heard the old man whispering a word:

"Vampire."

"Vampire? The 【Blood Spirit School】 is indeed related to the vampire clan. It seems there is at least one high-tier alien species ahead."

Difa said with worry, because the basic common sense was that an alien Ringed Shushi of the same level was stronger than a human Ringed Shushi.

"We have to go quickly. It seems we really came late. I hope the battle hasn't ended yet."

Xia De said.

Moving forward, they successively saw several Ringed Shushi from the Orthodox Church. Two of them had already stopped breathing, and one could be applied with the state of 【False Immortality】, and after treatment, he was out of critical condition.

Most of the wounded had traces of corrosion by 【Human Pus】. Xia De performed emergency rescue for those who were still alive, but because the moonlight on his fingertips was severely suppressed, he failed to dispel the Human Pus.

He could only do what he could do, but after this matter ended, the church should be able to find a way to treat these wounded.

Moving forward again, Ringed Shushi who didn't belong to the church appeared. They were also in a coma state, and after checking their personal items, no identity marks were found. Difa suspected that these were other helpers summoned by the Blood-Crying Hermons when he went to Tobesk. Since he had long planned to assist Dac Nisi in holding the ritual, it made no sense that there were no other people around him.

So they weren't sure how many enemies were ahead.

The oppressive darkness made every breath somewhat difficult. The silver light on the body and the golden light on the back barely supported the faint field of vision. At 7:23 PM, Difa finally saw the black pillar piercing heaven and earth in the darkness. Five minutes later, they passed through the empty town covered by giant black crystals and entered the strange and twisted Milwood Forest.

Now, calling this place a crystal forest was more appropriate.

On the outskirts of the crystal forest, Xia De finally saw two high-tier Ringed Shushi from the Church of the Sun joining forces to fight a tall demon.

The appearance of that demon was almost the same as the demon Xia De fought in the cornfield, but it looked more powerful and could rely on splitting its own body organs to fight.

That body, which seemed to have been dismembered, floated in the air, drawing power from the thick darkness, looking exceptionally terrifying.

Difa, who knew more information, told Xia De that this was the demon "Hidden One" guarding the Dark Domain, an alienated individual born from Hidden Servants. If it appeared in the outside world, this kind of demon would require at least two Mid-Tier Ringed Shushi to deal with, and in the Dark Domain, even two high-tier Ringed Shushi might not be able to defeat it.

Bypassing the two sides in battle and officially entering the crystal forest under the giant tree trunk, although the surroundings were still silent, the chaotic elements indicated that there were more Ringed Shushi in this forest than imagined.

There were traces of battle everywhere along the way, because no matter which side wanted to move forward, they had to defeat the demons guarding here.

And at this time, the earth under their feet had completely turned black in this crystal forest, and the black shadows wandering around were becoming more and more numerous. They moved forward with some difficulty, and the black scars on the 【Dark Box】 carried by Difa were becoming more and more numerous, and the four metal amulets were almost about to crack completely.

Fortunately, the blessing of Priest Ao Gu Si helped Xia De see further, allowing them to avoid most of the battles. The demons living here had a stronger perception ability than Xia De, so when a few demons discovered them, Xia De and Difa had to be forced to open the 【Dark Box】 to dodge.

Although doing so would make the out-of-control risk of this relic become greater and greater, the demons in the crystal forest were no longer something they could deal with. After all, this was the core of an Angel-level relic. Even if they could reach it smoothly, the monsters guarding here were not something a Mid-Tier Ringed Shushi and a Low-Tier Ringed Shushi could solve.

But even so, they finally failed to pass through the crystal forest safely and reach the central area.

It wasn't that they were blocked by demons, nor did they encounter unexpected Ringed Shushi. When they could see the spiritual light flickering in the center of the forest from far away through the gaps in the crystal trees, the earth under their feet suddenly vibrated, and then it seemed as if the whole world was letting out a shrill cry.

That sound came from all directions, like a giant in the darkness roaring, or like a fierce beast from before the era growling, but more like a terrifying evil spirit wailing in the middle of the night.

"Be careful, the situation is not right. Is it possible that the final blow of the decisive battle has already begun ahead?"

Xia De and Difa supported each other, seeing that in the space around, deep and thick darkness surged toward the center of the crystal forest like flowing streams. And the flow of darkness not only didn't make the surroundings return to normal, but instead made the chaotic whispering elements become stronger.

At this moment, the silver moonlight on Xia De's body was compressed to the limit, and the four metal amulets tied to Difa's waist all shattered. Following the crackling sound, the crystals on the surface of trees and the ground began to spread in all directions.

The spreading crystals clung to all objects in the surroundings, and naturally surrounded the two in an instant.

But due to the light on Xia De's body, the dark crystals didn't climb onto his body. But Difa's situation was a bit bad. When Xia De noticed, Difa's legs had been completely wrapped by those black crystals, and almost immediately were about to spread from her waist to her chest. ===== CHAPTER 527 =====
