Chapter 613: Third Form

Staggering out backward from the white fog door, he gasped and looked at the ancient stone door standing in front of him. The terrible wind of death blowing from the stone door made Xia De sober up:

"Bad! It's going to be dawn soon!"

There was no time to think, he bent down to pick up his items on the ground, confirmed that he hadn't left anything behind, and immediately rushed out along the passage.

Inside the church, he didn't encounter any obstruction, and even the soul of the church Ringed Shushi who was hugging his chest at the door of the church congratulated him on successfully saving his companion.

Running out of the church and arriving at the street filled with white fog, he hadn't walked a few steps before Xia De stopped.

Both the real Nature Church and the Dawn Church were on St. Clara Avenue, just located at both ends of the street. At this time, on St. Clara Avenue in the Ringed Shushi, evil spirits in the double digits were wandering in the strange fog, and then suddenly noticed Xia De at this time.

"Damn, why are there so many evil spirits... Wait, could it be that I used the maze behind the door just now, and there was feedback in the Ringed Shushi and reality?"

There was no time to think, those evil spirits with terrifying faces had already rushed over silently with the white fog. They were almost integrated with the white fog, and at this moment, it was like a fog tide and a ghost tide rushing over together.

If it were in the outside world, the erupting silver moon light and even Feiliananna's witch light could seriously injure them all, but in order not to attract more attention, Xia De could not do this.

"There are too many, and I can't use 【Silver Moon Greatsword】 for melee combat, there is not enough time."

Thinking in his heart, he took a step back, and his right hand suddenly drew a horizontal line from in front of him. The silver light trace parallel to the ground flew out immediately, but it only repelled the tall man at the front who seemed to be cut at the waist, so his upper body and lower body could be separated, so he could attack alone, and the noble evil spirit holding his own head and dragging hundreds of heads behind him.

"The instantaneous 【Silver Moon Slash】 is not powerful enough."

Xia De continued to retreat, and at the same time, his arms drew a cross in front of him. The light trace stayed in the air. Xia De bent down slightly, and then punched forward violently. The cross light trace flew out immediately, but because the casting time was too long, all the evil spirits easily dodged this attack.

"It seems the power is enough, but the speed is not fast enough."

【What are you going to do? Use mental shock to repel a whole street of evil spirits with one punch?】

"She" asked with a chuckle.

In the real world, Xia De's power was not that strong, but in a world like the Ringed Shushi that highlights the power of the soul, he did have the possibility of doing so by exhausting 80% of his current spirit. But there was still a long way to go, and Xia De could not fall into the predicament of power deficiency again.

"It needs to be fast and ruthless... I still have one move."

Seeing the terrifying spiritual body rushing over close at hand, Xia De closed his eyes, took a deep breath and meditated on the silver moon in his mind, and at the same time tried to grasp the further understanding of the moon when drinking "Moon Wine."

Stopping his retreating steps, Xia De opened his arms—

Slap!

His arms straightened in front of him, and his hands clapped together violently:

"Moonlight—"

The moment he opened his eyes, countless pale arms had already rushed to reach for Xia De's head from the white fog group in front of him:

"—Slash!"

Both hands separated violently toward the upper left and lower right. And as the hands separated, a bright light arc was actually pulled out between the palms. Due to the movement trajectory of the palms, the light trace protruded in the middle and the tail end backward, flying out almost the moment the arms were fully opened.

Long-lasting afterimages were left in the white fog. That light arc almost cut all the evil spirits piled up in front into two halves in the next moment, and then flew into the depths of the white fog. The cut marks of the spiritual body shone with dazzling moonlight. After a second of silence, the "last words" of the soul sounded one after another:

"If I could return home in time..."

"Want to live another hundred years."

"Actually I didn't lose, the one who lost was him."

"Forgive me..."

"The fear under the ground is something mortals cannot imagine."

While this chaotic sound sounded, Xia De looked at his hands with a smile:

"I learned 【Moonlight Slash】 at the first tier, the power is weak but the casting doesn't need time; I learned to let the light trace stop and then strike at the second tier, the destructive power is strong but the casting time is long; at the third tier, I mastered the method of pulling out a light arc with two palms, the power is medium and the casting time is also medium. Perhaps, this strange art is the most suitable for me. If every tier has a change, even if it doesn't have a fundamental change like 【Blood Echo】, this strange art is enough for me."

【There is not enough time.】

"Oh! Run!"

The sky in the 【Life-Death Ringed Shushi】 was covered by strange white fog, and stars and sun and moon could not be seen. But at this time, Midehillburg City had reached the last moment before dawn. Xia De, who used 【Lagley's Jump】 and 【Frog's Leap】 to move forward rapidly, didn't know how many evil spirits he had shattered along the way, and when he entered the courtyard of Luo Su Manor, there was only the last half minute left before dawn.

"It's in time, it's in time!"

The arrival of dawn in the material world seems to be able to suppress the 【Life-Death Ringed Shushi】. The white fog is becoming thin, greatly increasing visibility.

Xia De didn't even have time to walk through the front door, he directly broke through the window of the dilapidated manor corridor, and then ran forward along the corridor.

When he turned into the corridor at the deepest part of the manor, because of the time mismatch between the two spaces, although there was half a minute just now, at this time there was less than five seconds left.

A sprint, directly hitting the dilapidated wooden door at the end of the corridor. Behind the door was the normal world. But even if he could cross space, the time of the normal world was still passing rapidly.

Xia De crossed ten meters in one step, his hand was about to touch the wooden door, but it seemed a bit too late.

"No way, I can only use Lagley's Jump twice in a row!"

This is very likely to attract those terrible things living in the cracks of space, but Xia De can't care so much at this time.

However, before he performed space crossing again, the tightly closed dilapidated wooden door actually opened automatically, and then a withered hand stretched out like stretched rubber mud, grabbed Xia De's right hand, and then pulled violently, pulling Xia De from the position 15 feet away from the wooden door into the door connecting the two worlds at the last moment.

The thin line burning on his right hand turned into ashes completely, and the last spark drifted in the empty corridor.

"Oh!"

And Xia De, who passed through that door, had already fallen heavily in the corridor of Luo Su Manor, rolling a few times to offset the huge impact. Looking up, there was no one in front of him, and the interior of Luo Su Manor had returned to a normal state. As for the black vortex connecting the 【Life-Death Ringed Shushi】 on the wall behind him, it had also disappeared.

"Success."

Leaning on the wall and slowly standing up, he felt the fatigue of not sleeping all night. Returning to reality allowed his numb body to return to normal perception. While the warmth surged, Xia De also felt that he was really extremely tired.

Not only did he not sleep all night, but he truly stepped into death and faced the blood-sucking saint again. Even if everything was over, the pressure on his spirit could not be relieved just like that after his tense nerves relaxed.

Yawning and enduring the sleepiness, he walked out of the manor mansion, wanting to thank Sister Daifulin and the 【Spiritual Cultivation Order】 for their help. At this time, the bonfire in the courtyard had gone out in the dawn light in the east, leaving only extremely weak embers still emitting heat on the scorched wood.

The nuns and monks of the order were also pouring into the interior of the building, preparing to clean up the ritual traces inside the building. And Sister Daifulin was still standing in front of the bonfire, but there was an old woman beside her.

She had silver hair, but her face was still healthy. Although the wrinkles on her face could no longer be covered, her eyes were still so spirited.

She was wearing a very old black dress that looked like a style from half a century ago, and she was wearing a black wide-brimmed hat on her head, with huge white fake flowers on the hat.

Xia De stopped abruptly at the door of the mansion and put his hand into his right pocket. Returning from the past time just now, he didn't have time to put the pendant on his neck, so he stuffed it directly into his pocket.

Also because of this reason, his skin couldn't directly touch the pendant that could sense the witch. Until this moment, the heat was so strong that it could affect his waist through his coat and shirt, and he realized who the old woman standing in front of him was.

The other party nodded and smiled at him, with a kind expression on her face, looking like she had no malice. Xia De hesitated for a moment, continued to walk forward, passed by the blind nuns of the order, and came to Sister Daifulin with gray-white hair and the old witch:

"Sister Daifulin, I encountered some accidents inside, but the priest has been saved. Not only the priest, but also most of the people who went missing this autumn, they should be scattered in Sikar Mountain now. Someone helped us, a person with wings. I think there should have been strange phenomena in the Sikar Mountain area in the real world just now..."

After reporting the "fact" he fabricated to the nun in detail, Xia De bowed slightly to the old woman:

"Hello, Ms. Cassandra, thank you for pulling me just now."

That hand that pulled Xia De out of the 【Life-Death Ringed Shushi】 should belong to this witch.

"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton."

The witch called out the outsider's surname in this world directly, while the nun on the side had no reaction.

The old man looked at Xia De kindly:

"You are right, something did happen just now. I think someone should have used a maze in the depths of the Ringed Shushi, but this also helped you. It seems your luck is really not bad."

Although she was old, she could still see the style of her youth from the details of her face:

"Actually, before seeing you, I still had some doubts about what Miss Jia Lin Na told me."

"Did Ms. Miss Jia Lin Na ask you to help me?"

Xia De asked. He could see that this witch seemed to have no hostility toward him.

"Oh, yes. Yesterday Daifulin told me that Miss Jia Lin Na's friend came

Xia De could imagine the Duchess's astonishment and shock at the time. Xia De had not told her before the operation, also because Miss Galina certainly would not have agreed to him doing such a thing. After all, the Red-Haired Witch did not care whether Priest Augustus lived or died.

"I heard rumors a while ago that the Duchess of Saladir was dancing with some lucky man at the Queen's birthday banquet in Tobesk. At the time, I thought she had her maid dress up as a man to cover up some facts and extinguish bad rumors, but I didn't expect it to be true."
