Chapter 677: Moonlight Great Sword · Yellow

~11 min read 2,154 words

After a moment of confrontation, the three started to act at the same time. And this time, the fifth-ring Knight of the 【Truth Society】, after taking a bottle of unknown potion, actually used his life ring to summon a three-headed dog, a ghoul, a tree demon, and an ugly old witch wearing a hat at the same time.

This method of using a single spiritual rune for individual summoning was of course inferior to the summoning method of Lei Lei Qianya and Yiluna using five spiritual runes in series. But the quantity could slightly make up for the gap in quality. The three-headed dog and the tree demon faced Xia De, and the other two faced Yiluna.

Xia De kissed the moonstone ring on his finger, and steam mist surged behind him, revealing a corner of the life ring of a third-ring Knight, and the miracle spiritual rune 【Yellow Moon】 flashed with light:

"Confusion!"

The ring flashed with bright yellow moonlight, and Xia De stretched the ring toward the front. Under the illumination of that even somewhat weak light, the ugly three-headed dog and the tree demon that looked like a twisted human body actually stopped, and then fought each other.

"Is this magic so easy to use?"

Xia De looked at the ring on his finger, and the fifth-ring Knight also noticed the situation on Xia De's side. He didn't continue to call for summoned objects, but carried the great sword and rushed toward Xia De.

He probably saw that Xia De was only a third-ring Knight, so he was confident in his physical fitness. He even just used the blasphemy spiritual rune 【Strength】 to add a buff to himself, and then slashed over with his sword.

Clang~

"What?"

Silver moonlight splashed everywhere. The great sword wielded by the strange Knight actually slashed onto the pitch-black chain held by Xia De with both hands. That was the 【Great Sin Chain】. Although it had no attack power, unlike the Moonlight Great Sword that had been broken many times, the 【Great Sin Chain】 had never broken.

The sword couldn't cut the chain, and the chain naturally couldn't break the sword. Thus, this became a contest of strength between Xia De and the other party, but the fifth-ring Knight, plus the buff state, actually only slightly overwhelmed Xia De in strength:

"Damn it, where did you people come from?"

He still didn't understand, and Xia De stared blankly at this sword he was familiar with. He had fought with this sword many times, but this was the first time he was attacked by this sword, and the first time he observed the full picture of the 【Moonlight Great Sword】 from the tip of the sword:

"So that's it."

His body disappeared and appeared ten meters away again. He flicked the 【Great Sin Chain】 in his hand, but because he didn't use the technique of a whip, the chain only scared the other party into taking a step back.

Xia De looked up at the moon in the sky, and the corner of the life ring revealed behind him had the 【Yellow Moon】 spiritual rune flashing with light. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and the light in his palm representing that bright yellow moon was flashing like the frequency of breathing.

Standing in the dark forest at this moment, it was as if he had returned to the Thousand Trees Forest, as if he had seen Miss Olandonod in front of him again, demonstrating the magic that belonged to her.

He closed his eyes with empty hands and rushed toward the fifth-ring Knight ten meters away. Although the other party was suspicious of what Xia De wanted to do, he still first flicked out light bullets that emitted light, which were easily dodged by Xia De, and then held the great sword in preparation for the encounter.

The moment the two met, silver moonlight slashed toward Xia De's shoulder. And the light in Xia De's palm finally synchronized its frequency with the light flashing from the spiritual rune behind him at this moment:

"Perhaps, I really have a talent for moonlight magic."

Ten seconds had passed. His figure disappeared under the sword and appeared behind the man. The man immediately turned around and slashed behind him, and Xia De finally opened his eyes.

The Yellow Moon shone on him, and he was with the moon:

"Moonlight Great Sword!"

Clang!

Bright yellow moonlight fragments and silver moonlight fragments splashed at the same time. Xia De held the bright yellow longsword and blocked the silver great sword in the other party's hand.

The power of the spiritual rune was weaker than the power of the core spiritual rune, so the yellow moon great sword in his hand at this moment was weaker than the silver moon great sword. But the silver moon great sword suffered a reduction in power when held by someone other than its master. Therefore, when the two swords collided, they all produced fine cracks.

The pitch-black vortex appeared beside the man again. And this time, Yiluna accurately grabbed the mirror.

Under the huge force, both swords shattered at the same time, the magic eye effect failed, and Xia De restored the power to use the Silver Moon 【Moonlight Great Sword】. The 【Truth Society】 Knight couldn't go to slash Yiluna's hand again, so he opened his blue magic eye wide to look at the dark vortex, trying to snatch this power, but unexpectedly found that the magic eye had no effect on the vortex.

"What is this again? And, have I experimented on your friends? Who exactly are you people?"

He cursed, gave up the mirror and let Yiluna snatch it away, and after taking a punch of 【Mind Shock】 from Xia De, he finally retreated to a safe place while enduring the headache:

"Mid-Hillburg is really dangerous. You two against one is really shameless. Wait until I apply for more support, you just wait."

White mist appeared behind him. Yiluna, who had just arrived locally, didn't know what this was, but Xia De knew:

"Space Stabilization Halo!"

But it was too late. The Boundary of Life and Death seemed to have swallowed the other party immediately. The white mist disappeared, taking the man away.

"That is the entrance to the Boundary of Life and Death. Is the 【Truth Society】 that bold? And they actually mastered the method of opening the Boundary."

Xia De said in surprise, wanting to take off his mask, but was stopped by Yiluna:

"The Sect doesn't let me use the power of 'balance' casually in this city."

Yiluna explained, and shook the mirror in her hand at Xia De:

"Spoils of war."

Under the moonlight, the seventeen-year-old girl revealed a smile:

"Thanks to you, otherwise it wouldn't have been won so easily. I have seen him before, a few years ago, when he was still a researcher for the Truth Society. Rest assured, this is a real bad guy. The Sect has a bounty of 8000 pounds on him; we didn't hit the wrong person."

"This is your spoils of war."

Xia De signaled Yiluna to keep the mirror that could absorb the Sunlight Gun herself, and then lowered his head to look at his left and right hands.

Both hands stabbed into the air at the same time, and then the holy silver and bright yellow 【Moonlight Great Sword】 actually appeared at the same time.

One belonged to the core spiritual rune 【Silver Moon】, and its appearance was a standard double-handed great sword. One belonged to the third-ring spiritual rune 【Yellow Moon】. Because the power was weaker, the length and width of the sword were smaller, which could be considered a slightly larger longsword.

Xia De's 【Moonlight Great Sword】 couldn't summon two swords at the same time, but the same kind of magic belonging to different spiritual runes could be used simultaneously. In the forest of the dark night, both swords were emitting light slightly, making the scene in the forest incomparably divine.

"Did you learn this yourself? It's really amazing."

Yiluna said with envy:

"I have inquired that the 【Moonlight Great Sword】 and the 【Sunlight Great Sword】 are both high-ring magic. You actually learned it so simply. Sometimes I really want to ask our friend, who exactly is the chosen one."

"Of course it is you; this has been confirmed many times. However, should the matter here be notified to the Sect?"

Xia De asked. Yiluna thought for a moment and nodded:

"Yes, then you leave first. In a while, I will go to notify the Sect and try to see if I can track the other party's trail."

"That's good. Remember to contact me if there is anything."

Xia De turned to leave, but Yiluna called him again:

"Wait a minute."

The girl with long brown hair was carrying her hands behind her back, lowering her head and kicking the gravel by her feet:

"I have time around ten o'clock, so... shall we dance together? I heard from colleagues in the Sect that the local Fire Worship Festival bonfire dance is very lively."

"Did you know I would appear at the banquet?"

"Just a feeling that you would appear on such an occasion..."

She hesitated:

"Then, you..."

Thus Xia De nodded:

"Yiluna, see you at ten."

The seventeen-year-old girl revealed a bright smile under the moon.

Miss Lei Lei Qianya wouldn't dance all the time. After dancing with the witch, he could come find Yiluna again.

【You really are a bad person.】

Her voice came from the wind, but Xia De thought the guy who just ran away was the bad person.

The Truth Society Knight officially appeared, and the situation in Mid-Hillburg became even more chaotic.

(Little Mia is running...)

When Xia De left the academy's forest and returned to the banquet venue of the Fire Worship Festival in the bonfire light, no one noticed that he had ever left. Xia De noticed that two large carts of fireworks had been transported here. Setting off fireworks for the Fire Worship Festival was also a new tradition that only appeared in modern times.

Although Lei Lei Qianya and Yiluna both invited Xia De to dance together, there was still a period of time before the bonfire dance, so Xia De planned to go see the special Luo De card at the auction. If it met his wishes, he would donate a sum of money to this charity banquet.

There was no list of auction items on the invitation, but Priestess Cassandra had just given Xia De a detailed list. For the convenience of checking goods and out of safety considerations, the auction was all conducted inside the castle. Among them, the academy auditorium was the main auction hall, or rather Auction Hall No. 1, which was the auction area for bulk goods and high-priced antiques and art collections. Even if Xia De had money in his hands, he wouldn't dare to go to that kind of place.

And the venue for auctioning that special Luo De card was the principal's conference room on the second floor of the east side of the castle. That was where the principal and directors of the academy held meetings. This time, it was lent to the Fire Worship Festival charity banquet as an auction hall, which was said to be for the sake of Priestess Cassandra—she was also a director of this academy. And considering that her teacher was actually the twins of the Fifth Era, then Priestess Cassandra's ability to establish an auction house that civilized the entire continent and her deep understanding of antiques and relics could be explained.

After all, the armored old man at the banquet was also a holder of the 【Night Watchman】, and he died in this area.

The principal's conference room on the second floor had already been completely cleared. This room, which was astonishing in depth, even included a small balcony. When Xia De came to the room from the corridor on the second floor of the castle holding a wine glass, the auction hadn't started yet, but quite a few people had already come here to see the goods in advance.

Most people were like Xia De, holding wine glasses and examining those auction items. Among them were gentlemen wearing formal suits, noble ladies whose jewelry was shining under the gas lamps, artists with unique styles of dress, and even several old men gathered in front of a glass cabinet containing a white wig, discussing the origin of this wig.

Xia De heard their voices, so he knew the owner of the wig was a very famous poet in Delarion. But because he was promiscuous, that unlucky guy was stabbed to death by his mistress one morning eighty years ago.

"Really unlucky."

In the laughter in his ears, Xia De moved further away from that side. ===== CHAPTER 678 =====
