"A secret-keeper-level relic, a stone statue praying for rain!"
Miss Benanis recognized what it was faster than Shade and Luvia. Luvia understood it immediately and quickly explained to Shade, who didn't know what this relic was:
"This was originally an inexplicable mysterious phenomenon. When the rain is about to come, stone statues of this shape will appear in the inconspicuous corners of the place where the rain is about to fall. These are local legends in the early Fifth Era. Later, this legend spread to the entire material world. Therefore, some people who long for rain will take the initiative to carve stone statues of this shape to achieve the purpose of praying for rain. No one can tell whether it is a prayer that has been upside down for an entire era, or a simple coincidence. In the Sixth Era, these stone statues have become relics with the characteristic that once they appear, heavy rain or heavy snow will definitely fall."
"The relics do not refer to a single stone statue, but to a whole class of stone statues. They appear in hidden corners of lakes or rivers. If they are not discovered and properly contained in time, they will cause a disaster of rainfall. In addition to containing them, smashing them can also end their effect. Moreover, smashing them does not destroy the relics. The rain-making golems are only temporarily expelled from the material world. But fortunately, the composition of the rain caused by these stone statues is exactly the same as the liquid environment they are in, so we only need to investigate..."
Miss Benanis' eyes widened:
"So that's how it is. The purpose of this stone statue is to spread the polluted muddy water!"
"What is the range of influence of the relic?"
Shad asked.
"The size of the statue itself is as large as the area it covers. It's winter now, so I'm afraid there will be a heavy snowstorm!"
Luvia looked at the giant stone statue very seriously:
"I've never seen such a large stone statue in the information I've seen. Generally speaking, this kind of stone statue is about the size of a palm, just enough to cover the urban area of a city the size of the Randall Valley. Based on the size of this golem, the Randall Valley and the surrounding areas will be affected."
Once the black mud comes into contact with normal land, the normal land will quickly be transformed into crazy land. The black mud is a very terrible source of pollution.
Since Miss Benanis and Luvia both recognized what it was, the ring magicians in the camp on the other side of the lake naturally recognized what it was. After a moment of reaction and judgment, the ritual originally used to purify the crazy land was stopped, and the ritual for sealing and containing the relics was quickly prepared.
It would take at least one night to purify the land under the lake, and half an hour to an hour would be enough to contain the relic if it was prepared quickly. It was impossible to smash such a huge golem, as its size determined its strength. Although the rain-praying golem was more fragile and easier to destroy than most relics, it was a relic after all.
"Even if the cultists believe in the Stone Heart Demon, they would never know how to summon such stone statues. They cannot be summoned by humans. The association has done research and found that the appearance of these stone statues is determined by fate. All we can say is that even if there were no cultists, such a thing would definitely happen here."
Luvia was still analyzing, and dense snowflakes were already falling from the sky. The black mud in the snow was not much at the moment, but catastrophic consequences would soon appear. This was a real disaster.
In addition to housing the relics and destroying them, moving the giant rain-making golem away from Lake Elderon is also an effective way to prevent bad things from happening. The church's ring warlocks obviously thought of this, but with the appearance of the giant, the effect of "Mad Earth" seemed to be amplified, and even high-level warlocks would be affected immediately once they entered the lake area. Casting spells directly from the lakeshore to affect the lake water would greatly weaken the effect of the spell.
The characteristic of "Mad Earth" that can directly petrify souls will seriously affect the spellcasting effects of ring warlocks, so it will not work even if they try to move forward despite the pollution of the earth.
When the light of the divine ritual lit up on the other side of the lake, it almost illuminated the night into day. When Shade squinted his eyes and looked up, Mo Hu saw a figure holding a long staff, swinging the long staff at the huge golem in the sky above the camp.
With a sharp whistle that almost pierced the eardrums, the translucent golden wooden staff hit the head of the golem, but nothing happened. Only the dark lake water with floating broken ice began to ripple again. Obviously, the church's attempt to directly deal with the golem had also failed.
The church camp has not thought of any means for the time being. It can only prepare for the reception ceremony, seek help from the church in the city, and continue to try to freeze the lake. If the rain-praying golem comes into contact with normal lake water, it will not be a problem even if there is a heavy snow for two or three days.
"So, in this case, the 'power of the earth' is needed to solve the problem."
Miss Benanis said, and in a short moment, her beautiful blonde hair was dyed white by the snowflakes. She was not referring to Shade's "Power of the Earth·Healing Aura". The area of Lake Eldron covered by the crazy earth was too large. Even if Shade drank all the essence in the pink bottle, it might not be completely purified.
Moreover, now that there is the stone statue praying for rain, the existence of the relic will greatly reduce the effect of the "healing aura".
"Fields of Plenty is not going to solve the current situation."
Luvia said, and the witch raised her head slightly and looked at the golem in the lake with a confident expression:
"So I will solve the problem this time. I have mastered the power of the earth and summoning stone statues that you obtained from the Stonemason Guild. This is indeed the most suitable magic for me."
As she spoke, she took out a small stone statue from the pocket of her robe. This was just an ordinary stone statue, the kind sold in souvenir shops on the street, and it was a material for the magic:
"Shad, Luvia, I want to show you what the effect is when an eleventh-level witch uses the magic of the earth with all her strength. After tonight, no one can say that I am not good at fighting."
After asking Shade and Luvia to step back, the witch pulled out a strand of her long hair with some distress, wrapped it around the statue, and then threw it into the dark lake with floating broken ice with great force.
thump!
There were slight ripples on the water surface. The witch raised her hands to her chest, spread her fingers slightly apart, and touched her ten fingers one by one without touching her palms. Then she closed her eyes.
Hot steam mist appeared in the snow, and the rotating eleven-ring life ring showed the power of the witch. The core spirit rune was the earth, the miracle spirit rune was the prayer, the whispering spirit rune was the statue, and the blasphemy spirit rune was the control. Shade didn't know the spirit runes and spellcasting methods originally required for the power of the earth and the summoning of the statue, but it seemed that the witch of the earth had made changes to this magic that met her requirements based on her knowledge.
The rapidly rotating life ring projected four-color spiritual light to the location where the stone statue with the witch's hair wrapped around it fell into the water. In that light, the lake water actually bubbled again, and then the water itself began to glow. The light gradually outlined a huge glowing five-pointed star pattern on the water surface, and around the five-pointed star, the holy emblems of the ancient goddess Mother Earth and the ancient god Chaos Witch appeared respectively.
Xia De originally thought that the changes caused by the "Power of the Earth" in his hands were great enough, but it seems that he still underestimated the witch.
As Miss Benanis chanted a spell softly, the ground began to tremble slightly. Her spell was like a song, the sound was not loud, but surprisingly stable, and it spread far.
The glowing pentagram ritual array gradually covered one-fifth of the surface of Lake Eldron. Even the ring sorcerers on the other side of the lake noticed this unusual scene:
"Power of the Earth - Summon the Stone Statue!"
The giant rock hand clenched its fist and pointed to the sky from the glowing pentagram ritual array. Then the giant hand pressed on the water surface, and then used the force to make the whole body emerge from the pentagram array.
The giant rock statue was called out by Miss Vanessa Benanis. Although its legs were submerged in the lake water, its huge body could still be seen by everyone. In the increasingly violent snow, the giant statue could give people a full sense of shock even if it just stood there silently.
“It’s amazing!”
Shade exclaimed behind her. Even if Shade himself had learned this magic, he could only summon a stone statue the size of a human. Even if he had reached the eleventh level, he could not make the magic work the same as what he saw before. However, Miss Benanis had achieved this level within just one week of acquiring the magic. As the Witch of the Earth in the Witch Council, she really deserved the title.
The stone statue in front of him was not just big in size, but size was of little significance in the battle of a high-level warlock. Shade could feel that the surging power of the earth was gathering on the summoned stone statue.
The beautiful face of the blonde witch showed extreme excitement and agitation at the moment. She pointed at the dark rain-praying golem in the center of Lake Eldron. Without giving any orders, the stone statue summoned by the witch rushed straight to another stone statue in the center of the lake.
The two were of similar size and height, and the statue summoned by Miss Benanis was even taller. The curse in the mud under the lake could not affect the statue summoned by the "Power of the Earth".
However, while Miss Benannis was commanding her summons in the wind and snow, trying to move the rain-praying golem out of the lake, the right arm of the motionless black golem suddenly trembled.
"Hmm? This relic can still move?"
The golem grasped the frozen black mud and ice stone pillar beside him with his right hand, and then stabbed it directly through the chest of the witch statue like throwing a javelin.
