Chapter 81: The Hound of Light

"This is really bad."

After adding the spell to the priest, Xia De struggled to take out that small book again. Using it required paying a price, so Xia De didn't dare to write anything too excessive. Instead, he dipped his finger in the blood he had spat out and wrote on the blank page:

"Even if barbaric and evil power makes me fall into a deep sleep, I can wake up at the appropriate time."

He did this to prevent himself from fainting as well, leaving no one to take everyone away. Using this precious relic in this way was certainly a waste, but this was the safest thing he dared to write while rashly using a Keeper-level relic.

Actually, he could also have written "Xia De defeats the evil god," but the price for that would probably have made him go to meet Detective Sparrow immediately.

At this moment, Doctor Shi Nai De, who was battling Lady Lasoya, also retreated to the entrance of the banquet hall as Xia De struggled to try to stand up again, his boots stepping on the red carpet shattered by the explosion.

Behind the doctor, the brass-colored pentagonal metal ring was rotating at an unprecedented speed, and the spirit runes of four colors were floating on the Life Ring, but the doctor was still retreating repeatedly; he was also reaching his limit.

"Why are you here?"

Also surprised by Xia De's appearance, and seeing that his companions had all fallen, the doctor gritted his teeth and blocked Xia De's line of sight with his own body:

"Xia De, I have never mentioned to you the strongest power of a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi. By rights, you shouldn't know it now. But there is no other way. Please watch my power carefully. After using this power, I might fall into a coma. If I can win, remember to take us all..."

A silver flash appeared from inside the banquet hall, and the doctor retreated sharply, a crack actually appearing on the Life Ring behind him.

"Watch carefully, Detective! This is not power that can be used easily; the stage sublimation of a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi is not that simple!"

Doctor Shi Nai De suddenly shouted loudly. With the eruption of suppressed power, a brand-new figure appeared in the scorching steam mist behind him.

Xia De's eyes widened:

"This is..."

【... his 'other self'.】

"What is the doctor going to do? Wait!"

Xia De, by the wall, twitched his nose violently. In the scent of the blood mist, he smelled a very obvious scent of sulfur. He seemed to hear wild laughter, he seemed to hear low sobbing, but he also heard nothing at all:

"Sulfur? Wait, Professor Sanchez said that the doctor might have... in his heart..."

Xia De didn't expect that his first contact with the truth would be at such a time.

The figure emerging behind the doctor couldn't be seen clearly because of the steam mist. He stood behind the doctor, standing almost symmetrically with the doctor across the Life Ring.

Afterward, the blurry tall figure in the steam and Doctor Shi Nai De raised their right hands together. Their voices overlapped, but whether it was the doctor's Delarion language or the tall figure's strange and evil language, Xia De understood it all.

A roaring wind rushed into the corridor, and the light seemed to dim at this moment. Brand-new power surged on the doctor, and this space changed because of this power.

The two shouted loudly together:

"Hound of Light..."

Xia De's eyes widened.

Behind Doctor Shi Nai De, the golden miracle spirit rune 【Light】 and the brass-colored enlightenment spirit rune 【Hound】 detached from the ring body and floated toward the center of the rotating brass-colored ring.

The voice lowered, the last half-sentence like the final whisper of life:

"... running in the dream of malice."

The black-iron 【Whisper】, the silver 【Blasphemy】, and the doctor's own core spirit rune 【Dream】 gathered in the center of the Life Ring, the five spirit runes connecting into a whole, and then emitted the same silver light.

In this voice, all surrounding light disappeared. Darkness descended completely.

Xia De completely lost his vision, as if someone had pulled him from the bright corridor into the abyss. A cold wind blew all around, and countless whispers and murmurs appeared in his ears; this was even more terrifying than the 【Box of Darkness】 losing control.

He felt himself falling into a quagmire of darkness, and felt countless hands pulling at him beside him. But pure white light suddenly appeared. He looked at the doctor who seemed to be standing in the black water quagmire. The figure blurred; what his eyes saw was the doctor, but what was reflected in his pupils was a hound emitting pure white holy light.

"Is this the Word of Sublimation?"

The hound in the holy light rushed forward along the dark path, pouncing on the enemy in this malicious dream quagmire.

This instantaneous power could not be described by an Outsider with shallow knowledge, but at this moment, he actually felt a decaying aura extremely similar to that on the soon-to-fall Ancient God 【Innocent Creator】.

That aura was grand, but it also represented the end; this was not the power of a mortal.

"What exactly is a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi's Word of Sublimation?"

That running Hound of Light seemed to draw power from the earth beneath its feet and the sky above its head. It tore through the darkness and crashed forward. Lady Lasoya, who was also in this malicious dark dream, appeared and was hit head-on by the glowing holy white hound:

"Damn it, it's a Word of Sublimation! Where on earth did you lunatic come from?!"

The woman, whose makeup had already run, cursed loudly, but upon contacting the Hound of Light, her whole person seemed to explode with light from within, disappearing into the holy light.

The surrounding darkness receded the next moment, and the cold wind and whispers and murmurs also left together. Xia De smelled the thick, blood-like fishy scent in the air again and saw the blood mist floating like a curtain in the corridor.

His eyes looked forward; the hound had already disappeared, and Doctor Shi Nai De, who had lost consciousness, lay flat on his back in front of Xia De. Xia De had never seen this decent psychologist look so disheveled. He kept his eyes closed, his face like Detective Sparrow Hamilton who was about to die a week ago, but at least he was still alive for now.

So Xia De also reached out and touched the doctor. He didn't expect that his greatest role in this battle would actually be like this.

"Why hasn't Miss Anate returned yet? Do I need to touch her in a while too?"

If it weren't for the fact that non-severely injured targets didn't accept the spell's effect, Xia De would definitely have touched himself first.

He struggled to get up, wanting to move the doctor, the priest, and the female writer together, and wait for Miss Anate to return to take them away. But at this moment, a sound actually rang out again at the entrance of the banquet hall, which was in a mess and dropping dust and wall skin.

Xia De looked up and saw Lady Lasoya, covered in blood and looking like she only had one breath left, actually crawling over from the wreckage of the banquet hall door:

"Your friend is truly a lunatic."

She looked like she was also about to fail, but she still looked at Xia De, who was wearing a mask, with crazy eyes, her tone exceptionally terrifying.

Afterward, Xia De saw that in the woman's scarred left hand, which was almost turning into charcoal, she was holding her broken right hand.

She pressed the broken hand with her chin, and her left hand took off the pebble ring on the broken hand, kissing it lightly.
