Chapter 532: Witch's Light

The one-time absolute luck opportunity won from the gambling god took effect here. The die rolled in the air, and when it landed in his palm, the side facing up was exactly twenty points.

He raised an eyebrow, waiting for the luck to bring the final push for the mystery lock to take shape, just like when Xia De stood at the door of the house about to be taken away by God, turning around to save that little girl.

The mystery lock could isolate the power Dac Nisi received from the darkness domain. Used in conjunction with the best state of lingering divine radiance at this time, plus the gradually recovering Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, he believed he was enough to solve the opponent. After all, when the previous mystery lock took shape, he had directly forced back the gaze of an Evil God.

But this time, luck didn't seem to be reflected in the acquisition of the mystery lock miracle, because after the die landed in his palm, Xia De felt nothing. Stunned for half a second, two voices said simultaneously:

【Look at your chest.】

"Xia De, your chest is glowing!"

Difa grabbed his arm with difficulty to remind him, so Xia De took out the poetry manuscript paper he had placed on his chest. It was glowing because the Academy had sent a notification—

【Xia De Hamilton, are you ready to receive the "Dream of Saint Byrons Comprehensive Academy" now?】

"Ah? Why is it this? Isn't it a mystery lock? Oh, I remember, today is Saturday, the Academy said they would send it on the weekend... Yes."

Xia De pressed his finger on the glowing word "Yes".

The paper glowed, and a palm-sized, exquisite enamel snuff bottle fell into Xia De's hand.

The bottle body was generally sky blue, painted with bright yellow sunflowers connected by golden lines, making one think of the pleasant time of summer.

Darkness was close at hand, and Dac Nisi, who had completely transformed into a demon, reached out his claws toward them.

In the surprised eyes of Yin Yi Yi Lu Na and Difa, Xia De opened the lid of the snuff bottle.

Last time it was opened by the Doctor, the snuff bottle immediately took effect, and the colorful smoke that drifted out allowed him to see the appearance and basic situation of Saint Byrons Comprehensive Academy in his dream.

But this time, when Xia De's hand opened the lid, what drifted out was a fragrant, reddish-gold warm smoke.

Time really stopped at this moment.

The darkness solidified, the demons surrounding them from all sides solidified, and the pus flowing on the ground solidified.

The reddish-gold smoke wrapped around the three of them, protecting them. The three in the smoke heard a voice simultaneously—a woman's gentle voice, and she was asking a question.

Although Difa and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na could only understand individual words in the language she used, both thought of similar scenes.

Difa seemed to have returned to her thirteen-year-old days, listening to 19-year-old Miss Galina explain the basic rules of Witch power in front of a small blackboard; Yin Yi Yi Lu Na seemed to have returned to her training days at the Holy See, in that tiered auditorium, bathing in the summer sun, listening to the old priest's monotonous lecture with her friends.

Xia De understood this question—

"In the Forest of a Thousand Trees, what was the last lesson I taught you?"

The voice seemed to be right against his right ear, as if the Witch was in the darkness behind Xia De at this moment.

Xia De felt a trance. At this moment, he was also standing side by side with two ladies, also facing the oncoming darkness. Time seemed to have regressed back to centuries ago, back to the moment he parted with the two Witches.

The darkness talent of the Chosen One had already communicated with history, and Dac Nisi used the darkness talent to lift the curtain of history to summon demons. At this time, the reddish-gold warm mist drifted over through a corner of this curtain, and Xia De really felt the breeze from the ancient past blowing on his cheek.

The power of the Ancient God, the Lurking Darkness, already contained history, and history and time had never had boundaries. He took a deep breath, and the miracle 【Breath of Time】 touched the power in the snuff bottle. He only let the snuff bottle go back one second in time, and everything was different because of the touch of time power.

The boundaries of time were blurred because Dac Nisi wantonly manipulated power. He shouldn't have used this power without awe.

【No matter what kind of darkness you face in the future, you must believe in your own light...】

"Her" voice sounded against Xia De's left ear, giving him a hint, but Xia De could never forget what the Witch said:

"... that is the purest power we possess as humans who are not ordinary."

Time flowed again, the light under the tree was completely extinguished, and everything fell into darkness, but everything was eerily quiet, and even the roars of the overwhelming demons disappeared.

Because in this darkness, that gentle voice said softly:

"Answer, correct."

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na and Difa froze in place, thinking that the darkness would completely swallow them, but suddenly a warm, sun-like golden light came from behind them.

That warm halo spread out, forcibly supporting a hemispherical area under the tree.

They both heard the "Answer correct" spoken in Delarion common language, and this voice actually came from behind the three of them.

A transparent hand flickering with golden light rested on Xia De's shoulder. Xia De had completely forgotten about the mystery lock. He breathed heavily, followed this hand, and turned his head to look back tremblingly.

Reflected in his eyes was the Witch, wearing a hooded robe emitting holy white light, her skin as white as milk, her golden long hair exceptionally dazzling, looking like she was still only twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

Her golden eyes looked at Xia De gently, her beautiful face showing the style of youth, and her eyes seemed to be able to see directly through his soul:

"Long time no see, Xia De."

Miss Mana Feilianna stood in the 1853rd year of the Sixth Era and said with a smile.

Xia De, trembling all over, controlled his mood at this moment and gave a response with a somewhat hoarse voice:

"Long time no see, I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see you again in this life. Teacher... Miss Feilianna."

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, who was illuminated by the light on Miss Feilianna's body and whose physical state was gradually recovering, was stunned:

"Feilianna?"

Difa opened her mouth in surprise, but her long-term maid training made her quickly cover her mouth.

"Meow~"

Mia, who jumped onto Xia De's shoulder, was still a little afraid of the surrounding environment, but still greeted the Witch. She had also seen the other party and knew that the other party was very powerful.

"What kind of expression is that? Xia De, are you surprised to see me?"

The Witch said with a smile, and the golden light rushing into the sky rose from her body like a pillar of light, breaking through the darkness above her head, breaking through the dense canopy, and directly breaking through the sky of the Darkness Domain.

In the Darkness Domain, Ring Mages everywhere looked up at the core area of the domain. They were still stopping the spread of crystals just now, but now everything stopped.

They all saw the extraordinary golden pillar of light, and this power didn't seem to belong to this era, nor to Ring Mages.

Ripples appeared in the pus on the ground, and all the crystals around cracked. The demons roared; that was resentment, anger, and fear. They felt this terrifying power that shouldn't have appeared here.

"I really didn't expect to see you again."

"I didn't expect to see you in your era either. What I originally left for you was just some Spirit and knowledge that could be absorbed, but darkness and time communicated the present and the past. The nature of this special area made time no longer stable, so I appeared. Specifically, I think I'm dreaming."

She looked up at the surroundings, seeming to find everything around her novel:

"So many demons, it's rare. My student, Xia De Suren Hamilton, it seems you have encountered some small troubles again."

She suddenly looked at Yin Yi Yi Lu Na with a smile. The seventeen-year-old girl stepped aside very sensibly, letting the golden transparent figure come from behind Xia De to Xia De's side:

"I am glad you still remember what I said, so let me fulfill the responsibility I couldn't complete in the past and truly teach you some things."

She stood in the golden pillar of light, pointed her left hand at the sky, and Xia De breathed heavily, also pointing his right hand at the sky:

"Get ready, my students, I'll count—"

Everything seemed to have really returned to the past, returned to the Forest of a Thousand Trees.

But this time it was slightly different, because before starting the countdown, Miss Feilianna's raised left hand grabbed Xia De's right hand. Her palm fit against the back of Xia De's hand, her thumb, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger grabbed his hand, and her left index finger overlapped with Xia De's right index finger.

Difa continued to maintain her surprised expression with her mouth covered, and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na pursed her lips and held the scales, looking at Xia De suspiciously.

"One!"

She said softly, and the golden light at her fingertips overlapped with the silver moon light at Xia De's fingertips.

"Two!"

Not only were the fingers touching, but parts of the transparent golden arm and Xia De's arm overlapped. The golden hair tips brushed against Xia De's cheek, reminding Xia De that this was not his dream at this moment.

"Three!"

A golden-silver halo rose at their fingertips, and Xia De suddenly heard the sound of water droplets, a drop of water falling into his heart. This touch at this moment finally allowed him to touch the light after fear infection, darkness oppression, Priest Ao Gu Si's understanding of darkness, and everything he had experienced over the past few months.

That was Miss Feilianna's light, like a bond, inheriting the power of the past.

【In the dark forest filled with darkness, sitting around the campfire under the tree, you meet Him and them. Crossing history and time, when you touch this light again, you understand this is her dream, but this is your reality.】

【You touched the Witch's Light of the Fifth Era, connecting the Fifth Era and the Sixth Era, running through the long river of history and time, and you inherited the enlightenment of the past years.】

The halo from the overlapping fingertips was not bright, but exceptionally firm. The demons were afraid, roaring, and before foreseeing the end of their destruction, they rushed toward the people in the light.

The light at their fingertips, the lingering divine radiance, and the brass-colored spiritual light on the automatically appearing Fate Ring illuminated the surroundings. Amidst the surging steam, the light erupting from their fingertips merged into the Fate Ring.

This was the power of light, the power of light that should never have appeared in this era. The strange light gathered at one point on the Fate Ring, and as the Fate Ring rotated and gradually slowed down, Xia De's eighth spiritual rune appeared.

【Outlander, you have inscribed the Huang Tong Enlightenment Spiritual Rune - Witch's Light.】

【Outlander, you have obtained the miracle - Feilianna's Witch's Light. Power not belonging to the Sixth Era, the diffused light melts everything.】

So on this clearing surrounded by overwhelming demons, amidst the long darkness, fear, and strange intertwined pus, Xia De shouted out his brand-new power:

"Feilianna's Witch's Light."

Standing in the darkness, raising his arm to look at the twisted demon group above, just like fighting the entire dark world.

The golden halo made their shadows sway on the ground, and the girls reached out to grab the clothes on his back. In this scene with a strong oil painting style, the light began to spread. ===== CHAPTER 533 =====
