The Invisible Sons do not have the peculiarity that if their nest is destroyed, the entire population will die together. On the contrary, like most animals, once their nest is destroyed, they will madly attack the person who destroyed the nest.
Shade's idea was to defeat the nest, and then take advantage of the Invisible Sons' temporary chaos to find a chance to escape, so he only had one chance:
"Help me show the way later."
He said in his mind, counting three, two, one silently, and the pistol that was originally pointed at the sky quickly pointed at the open space.
The trigger was pulled, and the second demon bullet was consumed and fired. Another silent attack, in an instant, even the moonlight of the source of chaos was compressed to the limit, and when the light range of the gem returned to normal, Shade saw that a large hole had been blown out on the snow surface of the open space.
The nest was destroyed, and the aftermath of the bullet's power interfered with the judgment of the other Invisible Sons, causing them to run to the right.
Taking a step forward, Xia De appeared twenty meters away, and his figure disappeared swiftly into the dead woods.
He didn't know how far he had run before he stopped panting and holding onto a big rock. After making sure there were no pursuers behind him, he slowly sat down behind the big rock to take a break.
"If we hadn't encountered this kind of monster before in the Fifth Epoch, this time it would be dangerous."
He inserted the Night Watch into the ground, first sensed the current time, and then tried to identify the location he was in. Unfortunately, there was no obvious reference point around, he could only see a red fire in the distance, he didn't know if it was the church, the witch, or some other organization.
But your encounter with the Invisible Son in the past may also be because you have encountered the Invisible Son in the present.
she whispered in Shad's ear.
Xia De didn't quite understand this sentence, but fortunately he didn't need to understand:
"A lost blizzard, invisible enemies, it's really not easy to witness the ceremony of the chosen one of wisdom. I don't know what's below... Now that I don't have the horse, I can only walk. I hope I don't stray too far."
He looked up at the sky filled with heavy snow, and missed his warm and comfortable home more than ever before:
"I don't know if Tifa stayed in St. Teresa's Square or went back to the manor. Luvia definitely didn't leave. She's probably reading a book on the sofa with Mia in her arms. I didn't tell Dorothy that I left Tobesk this time, but she's been busy with the Tobesk Writers Association's year-end celebration recently, so she probably won't come to find me."
Thinking of the girls, Shade felt like a fire was burning in his heart. He rubbed his hands. In order to prevent the feeling from being wrong during the battle, he had not worn gloves just now:
"Let's keep going... I think I understand Miss Chloe's feelings now. This is what it feels like to walk alone in the snow."
Now use the time key to learn from the witch how to summon a mount or move quickly in the snow
she asked softly.
Xia De stood up with his sword, brushed off the snow on his cloak, and prepared to continue his journey:
"If everything goes well, I will use the key before landing on the island, not now. There will definitely be more battles to come, and I need to recover my strength and spirit on the shore."
Sighing and glancing at the bright yellow orb floating above his head, Shade continued to move forward into the depths of the snow.
The relic guided Xia De in the direction, and he did not encounter any danger in the next twenty minutes. He only encountered a group of tombstones hidden in the snow. Xia De chose to make a big circle to avoid that location, and those tombstones did not take the initiative to provoke him.
At 10:29 pm, Xia De, who was walking alone in the snowy night, heard footsteps in front of him. He stopped in surprise and saw a person holding a kerosene lamp approaching him in the distance. When the person came closer, Xia De saw that it was Luvia.
The girl with purple eyes was wearing a thick women's coat and a cloak to keep out the snow like him. She had a headscarf and scarf on her head that covered most of her face, and a pair of black rain boots on her feet.
She also saw Xia De not far away, stopped in surprise, and then staggered towards him.
“Is this true or false?”
The distance is too far.
"Luvia!"
Xia De shouted loudly and ran forward. When the two were only ten meters away from each other, Xia De suddenly clenched his fists and raised his hands high, then quickly pulled his arms back:
"Moonlight Slash!"
Under the bright yellow moonlight, his entire body turned into a dazzling yellow light and passed straight through "Luvia's" body.
When Shade stopped and looked back, he saw that the person he had split was a "mirror man". As the name suggests, this strange humanoid creature has skin made entirely of highly reflective mirrors.
It tried to reach out to Shade, but soon all the mirrors on its body shattered and scattered on the snow. Shade trembled and took out a bottle of holy water and drank it, then turned around to check the mirrors and found that they were all ordinary lenses.
"What is this? An alien creature? A relic, or perhaps some kind of magical summon?"
How do you know it wasn't Luvia Anat
"It's simple. The eyes of that thing just now are not as beautiful as Luvia's. Luvia's purple eyes... are unique. I will never mistake Luvia's eyes."
I heard "her" laughter, but this time the laughter seemed to contain other meanings.
Continuing forward, just as Xia De expected, a figure holding an oil lamp appeared in front of him again. When he got closer, he saw that it was actually Dr. Schneider. He seemed a little panicked and quickly emerged from the snowstorm.
"Shad, what's going on? How did I get here when I woke up?"
But before it could get close to Xia De, the "doctor" was chopped apart by Xia De's sword. He had just tested that the defense of this strange thing was not strong:
"How is it possible that the night watchman didn't react much to the doctor?"
The broken mirrors were scattered all over the snow, gleaming in the yellow moonlight, but Shad continued forward without a care in the world.
Five minutes later, a third figure appeared in the distance. This time, Xia De did not stop but took the initiative to meet him. Then he saw a woman who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, walking from behind the hill in front. She had a simple braided pigtail, and inexplicably had a sense of vicissitudes. And next to the woman, there was also a man's soul floating.
The woman is Marilyn Handel, the lover whom Joy Barton brought back from the dead:
"Mr. Hamilton, we heard about what happened here and came to help you."
The sound reached Shade's ears from the blizzard. The souls of the woman and the man were approaching quickly. Shade muttered softly:
"Could there be someone more outrageous?"
He clapped his hands together and then pulled them apart. The arc-shaped blade of light left a groove in the snow and then shattered the third mirror man:
"Who will be next? Little Mia, Miss Felina, or myself?"
He was thinking suspiciously in his heart, while "she" asked with a smile:
Who would you like to see next
“I don’t expect anyone to show up.”
But things never go according to Shade's ideas. Ten minutes later, the clear sound of horse hooves stepping on the snow surface came from far away. Shade followed the light and saw Iluna, who was riding on an undead skeleton horse with a bone whistle hanging around her neck and her whole body wrapped in blue flames.
The 17-year-old girl, like most ladies who went deep into the Great Swamp, wrapped her hair with a headscarf. She wore a brown women's coat, and various spellcasting materials could be seen in the pockets on the outside of the coat. She wore a windproof cloak on horseback, and tied a black and yellow scarf around her neck, both of which floated in the wind behind her. Because her feet were in the stirrups, Shade could see the pair of yellow buckled women's short boots and the tight black trousers.
The witches had the confidence to wear skirts in the swamp, but she couldn't.
Iluna obtained a bone whistle during the Midhill Castle incident. It has the power of the ancient god of death and helped Iluna hold an incomplete ceremony of the chosen one. The bone whistle can be used three times after the Midhill Castle incident. Unlike the witch summons, the horses summoned by Iluna are immune to most attacks and can move on any terrain, including but not limited to mountains, rivers, air and seabed.
The blue ghost fire on the horse prevented the snow from falling on Iluna's shoulders, and she also saw Shad.
"Iluna?"
Shade thought to himself, holding the Night Watchman and waiting for him to approach. But he did not wait for Iluna to ride over, because the girl on horseback was already furious:
"Didn't you just trick me once with Xia De? Would I be tricked a second time?"
The golden lightning exploded in her palm, and as she raised her right hand, the dazzling sunlight spear appeared in her hand. Without giving Xia De a chance to explain, the sunlight spear that penetrated the darkness flew towards him.
Shade had thought countless times that he might be hit by Iluna's sun gun in the near future, but he never expected that this would happen in this situation:
"Hedon Seal!"
The golden lightning jumped on the exploded golden shield. The Sidon Seal blocked at least one-third of the power of the angry sunlight spear, and Shade quickly dodged with "Ragra's Jump" after the shield disappeared. But even so, the aftermath of the jumping lightning still affected him.
He was certain that the Iluna in front of him was really Iluna. The power of the chosen one contained in the magic of the seventeen-year-old girl could not be faked.
“It’s really me!”
He shouted loudly, but in fact, after seeing the "Seal of Sidon" and "Leap of Raglai", Iluna had already stopped attacking hesitantly.
"Um... ... "
She sat on the horse and pursed her lips as she looked at Shade:
"How do you prove you're the real Shad Hamilton?"
Her alertness was correct. Xia De quickly recalled the memorable fragments from his memory:
"Iluna, the first time I saw you use the Sunlight Gun was when we were attacked by the coachman in the alley after we left the Lucky Southern Cross Club... The first time you kissed me was after we defeated the Silver Eyed One in the ruins under the printing factory."
"So you remember...Shad!"
She quickly jumped off the horse and ran towards Shade, opening her arms to hug him. The skeletal horse, still burning with blue flames in the blizzard, waited for her docilely.
This blizzard night is still long, but at least at this moment, Iluna Beas seems to have a fire burning in her heart.
What Xia De was more curious about was that, since they had come from two different directions, how could Iluna meet him here
