Chapter 607: The Initial Angel

"Priest, please rest assured, I will be fine, you leave first. Oh, one more thing, I left a lot of empty bottles outside the door. Can you leave some of your blood in one of the bottles?"

Xia De originally didn't intend to use the blood of anyone in the same group, although everyone has their own stories, but it seems that the stories are not "special" enough. But the priest is different. Once he crossed that door, he was equivalent to jumping back and forth between death and life once. Xia De felt that this kind of blood would also be useful.

Although the old priest was puzzled, he still nodded:

"Okay, this is very simple."

He turned and left. Xia De held the scorched black feather and looked at the silver moon, and heard the sound of the stone door being pushed open heavily behind him. The priest really had a way to jump back and forth in death, and when Xia De turned around, the door had already closed.

That is to say, Xia De still has to find a way to leave from death.

"Are you sure I can leave?"

He couldn't help but ask again:

"If I save the priest, but I stay behind myself, that would be too ridiculous."

【Sure, and there is no need to use divinity.】

Xia De touched the stone door and then tried 【Key of the Door】. The strange art can indeed be used, but wanting to turn his hand to open the "lock" is simply like wrestling with the whole world.

But it doesn't matter. After confirming that 【Key of the Door】 is also useful for this door, he understood what he had to do.

As for the subsequent seal, he only has the last drop of divinity left now, and absolutely cannot consume the divinity to seal this door, otherwise he won't even have the divine radiance state, and he won't be able to pass through the life-death Ringed Shushi to return to the manor at the foot of the mountain.

He wanted to use strange arts to seal this door. Very coincidentally, he did possess a strange art that could be used to seal.

Looking at the feather in his hand:

"Whisper element, sure enough, the priest's wings and the power of death all come from that unknowable-level artifact that went out of control when he was young in Tobesk. So, Priest Ao Gu Si is actually not the third chosen one?"

He clutched the feather and looked at the low black sky. The life ring behind him appeared silently in the scorching steam fog. Ten spiritual runes of four types, facing the huge half-moon of silver moon in the distance, quietly radiated spiritual light toward the dark world.

And with the appearance of the life ring, the shadowy souls wandering on the water surface seemed to have stopped their steps.

The world of the dead seemed to have completely stagnated at this moment, but Xia De, who had already closed his eyes, did not see this scene:

"Kiss of the Tree."

The white souls did not turn to look at the only living person in death, but looked at the silver moon in the distance.

The moon slowly rose from the farthest end of the water surface, and the half-moon turned into a complete silver moon above the water surface. Subsequently, the silver moon slid bit by bit to the top of the dark sky, embedded in the low sky.

The white shadows standing on the water surface looked up at the sky, rippling, not knowing if this was reflecting the light of the silver moon, or the reflection of the soul. And beside Xia De, the wind blew the treetops rustling, and the red-gold bonfire in front of the stone door crackled.

The giant tree stood on the stone door, its roots firmly clinging to and imprisoning the door, and the tree crown seemed to pierce the entire sky. The branches extended toward the black, calm water surface, and death could not make the branches wither.

It's just that the power of the maze 【Kiss of the Tree】 was still severely restricted. The Forest of Thousand Trees did not appear, only the bonfire and the giant tree appeared. The range of the maze was limited to the beach in front of the door, did not spread to the water surface representing the road of departure, and did not change the stone door.

Xia De took a deep breath and pressed the feather in his hand against his chest with his right hand. Subsequently, he stood under the tree, like all the souls on the water surface, looking up at the silver moon in the starry sky diagonally above.

The moonlight illuminated Xia De's face through the gaps in the tree crown, and the Underworld Moon was reflected in his pupils. The black feather in his hand melted into his chest, and his heart stopped beating completely at this moment. The familiar cold feeling spread to his whole body. Standing in true death, looking at the moon guiding death, for a moment, he clearly felt the feeling at the last moment in his hometown before coming to this world:

"So, I really died and came here..."

The black-iron spiritual light gathered on the rapidly rotating life ring. Some imperceptible phosphorescence flew from the calm black water surface, and even the moonlight seemed to gather on the life ring.

【Crossing the Ringed Shushi of life and death, crossing the door of death, you have truly stepped into death. This is the place closest to the end, this is the final destination of all souls.】

【You witnessed the end of death, pushed open the door of death, and touched the power of the initial angel - Gakaier...】

"Hmm?"

【... You heard the "whisper" from death.】

The life ring rotated, not only the black-iron whisper light gathered, but even the surrounding darkness was continuously entering the life ring. Xia De believed that no one had ever been able to truly touch death in death.

【Outsider, you inscribed the black-iron whisper spiritual rune - True Death.】

Although it was not the broader spiritual rune of 【Death】, 【True Death】 seemed to have more power, and—

"False immortality... true death?"

Xia De shook his head, guiding the power of the eleventh spiritual rune belonging to himself behind him, making himself more adapted to this darkness. It was almost dawn outside, and he couldn't waste time.

The tree crown of the giant tree was blown by an unknown wind, rustling under the huge silver moon. I don't know if it was Xia De's illusion, but after 【True Death】 was formed, this place seemed to become more real, but it also seemed to become more illusory.

The souls looking up at the silver moon seemed to have the light of the silver moon inside their bodies, and beside Xia De, the red-gold bonfire suddenly ignited.

Material world, Old Continent, Delarion Kingdom, Midehillburg City is in the dawn before the 23rd day of the Harvest Moon, but before the first ray of sunlight shot out from behind Sikar Mountain, the slight vibration of the ground woke the citizens.

Midehillburg City is a mountainous area prone to earthquakes, so the city was not panicked by this. Only a few people noticed the abnormal light in the night sky, and even fewer people stood by the window or in front of their homes looking at the towering Sikar Mountain, and saw the abnormal red-gold aurora behind the mountains, floating in the night sky like ribbons.

It covered a small part of the southeastern sky. Under the starry sky, the light flickered, occasionally changing into red, blue, green, and purple colors.

"Aurora before a big earthquake?"

The light was so dreamy and gorgeous, but no one knew what this strange light that appeared with the earthquake was. Only Ringed Shushi with better eyesight could distinguish that the light vaguely reflected a huge water area, but it also looked like a tree with a huge crown.

The earthquake disappeared after only one time, and the red-gold aurora like a ribbon also disappeared with the disappearance of the earthquake, as if it were just a collective hallucination before dawn.

In the Russell Manor at the foot of Sikar Mountain, the bonfire that had been burning all night still had not gone out, but the fire flow spread throughout the manor became weaker and weaker.

The blind nuns looked up and "looked" at the light above Sikar Mountain, and no one spoke. Only the leader of the order, Sister Daifulin, still maintained the posture of holding the flame with both hands, with her back to the bonfire, facing the open gate of the manor, lowering her head and not moving.

Her hands were cupped together, and in the cracks on the back of her hands and fingers, the skin in the firelight and embers was almost transparent enough to see the hand bones.

An old figure stood beside the nun at some point, looking up at the aurora about to dissipate on the top of the mountain:

"It's really beautiful. This reminds me of the night sky I saw when I followed the former speaker to the extreme north to visit St. Byrons when I was young."

"Madam, what is this light?"

Sister Daifulin asked softly, her tone still so cold.

"Another world is reflected in the sky, which shows that there is a high-tier Ringed Mage who used at least a maze-like power that can be called a true miracle. Yes, someone temporarily completely sealed the door at the foot of the mountain. It's really amazing, but how was this done? Could it be that the 'Silver Guard' from St. Byrons came? I remember that some time ago, regarding the matter of Ms. Mana Feiliananna, they hadn't investigated it clearly yet."

Qina Cassandra coughed:

"This is not important, after all, sealing only one of the three channels doesn't make much sense. Speaking of which, hasn't he come back yet?"

"No, I have reminded him that dawn is coming."

Sister Daifulin answered.

The old witch shook her head. Although she was old, she could still see the style of her youth on her face:

"It's really worrying. If he gets lost there, I think little Miss Jia Lin Na will never come to see me again in this life."
