"Why are you crying? Go!"
The god left, but everyone at the table was still immersed in the feast that had just taken place.
Only Luvia, who was in an extremely bad mood, spoke to Sirius almost in a scolding tone, then quickly left the table, took her hand, and ran towards the woods beside the clearing.
Of course, even though the gods had left, people still hadn't recovered from their mental breakdown and paid attention to them.
"Where's Shad?"
The aftermath of the chosen one's ritual restored the physical and spiritual strength of the other people in the forest who had been in the chaos of the war all night. The vitality that escaped from the earth in the forest made almost all the wounds heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The witches gathered together. Seeing Luvia and Sirius coming back, Miss Carina asked in a breathless tone:
"Will the Godcaller not destroy himself? Where is Shad? Where did he go?"
"Don't worry, just wait."
Only Luvia, with a gloomy face, was the calmest. She was not worried that Shade would not come back, but was worried about something else.
Sure enough, as the fortune teller finished speaking, silver spots of light slowly gathered.
"Oh, Shad!"
In the dim light, Shade's figure appeared. Luvia hurriedly supported Shade, who had fallen into a coma. She sat on the ground without caring about her embarrassment and let Shade lie in her arms. The witches and Sirius also hurriedly surrounded them.
"He is..."
Miss Benanis didn't know what to say at this point. It was a good thing that Shade still existed after the God's Descent, but he looked like he had a big problem.
"He swallowed up the twisted essence of the earth!"
Hillis said with tears in his eyes, covering his mouth.
"It's not Shade, it's the unknown Moon God!"
Miss Aurora hastily corrected her, while Miss Benanis and Miss Carina had already reached out to try to heal Shade. A swarm of red butterflies poured into the area from the clearing, and the illusion isolated the woodland to prevent the church ring warlock from hearing words he shouldn't have heard.
The voices of Helen and Grace appeared in Luvia's ears:
"We have consumed too much energy. We have to go back now. Please take good care of the gentleman."
The butterflies dispersed, and Luvia took out the original juice of Holy Water No. 1 that Shade had prepared in advance from God's gift box, and gave it to Sirius, asking him to help Shade take it.
Then, she took out the leaf of eternal youth that Xia De had given her a long time ago, chewed it carefully in her mouth, and then held Xia De's head and fed it to him.
The witches all watched Luvia's actions nervously. After Shade swallowed the leaves and holy water, Miss Aurora personally checked Shade's condition and said to the girls around her:
"His condition is temporarily stable and he is not in danger of death. However, Shad's body and soul have been severely injured. He must return immediately. He needs further treatment and recuperation."
"Xia De is indeed... This night is really long."
Miss Benanis sighed softly, and the other ladies in the forest also felt that this night was longer than any other night they had experienced before.
Their eyes once again passed over the green trees and grass, and looked towards the open space where the fairy-tale-like scene had just taken place.
The first ray of sunlight in the early morning had risen from the distant horizon, leaving a brilliant light under the surface of the Ailon River, illuminating the two figures standing on the shore.
Yin Luna, Sister Defulin, and the Guardian turned their backs to them and faced the rising sun, talking about something by the river. The sun shone on the faces of the three people by the river, leaving behind their dark silhouettes for people to look at.
The nun by the river was obviously a clone, because Sister Develyn herself had already crossed the open space, her eyepatch looking towards the area hidden by the illusion, and then she also walked over:
"How's Shad?"
She asked softly.
"It's not life-threatening, but it's not a good situation."
Luvia said, looking up at her, and saw that the usually quiet nun was not in a good condition. Although the gray robe was neat, there was a conspicuous crack on the side of the silver eye mask inherited from ancient times. No one felt relaxed that night.
"I'll go back with you."
The nun said, and Miss Sylvia nodded:
"Our followers are still in the camp a few miles away. They should know to retreat. Contact them after you return."
The Great Witch of Space then raised her hands and chanted a spell. With the clear sound like breaking glass, a huge vortex of gold and black appeared in front of her.
Siris and Luvia each held one of Shad's arms, trying to help him walk into the portal, but Sister Defulin said:
"Wait a mininute."
Luvia and Siris stopped and saw a small pink flower floating in the sky, completely defying the influence of gravity and wind. Luvia reached out to catch it, and then recognized that it was the last souvenir that Shad got in the worm cave, the flower that he regarded as the "Spring Flower":
"Your old friends still miss you."
She kissed Shade's cheek, then she and Sirius helped Shade into the portal, and the exhausted witches followed behind. Sister Develyn walked last, and before entering the portal, she turned around and looked at the open space.
The early morning sunlight shone on the eye mask, which had obvious signs of being torn apart due to the battle. The densely packed cracks were extremely clear in the sunlight.
Although the long dining table was still filled with delicious food, there was no one sitting at the table.
"Is it over?"
In the distance, Dr. Schneider stood cautiously on the top of a tree and looked around. He yawned and scratched his hair.
The birds were singing clearly, and the forest was reviving in the light of dawn. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the blue-eyed middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders, found the horse that had just been resurrected, and rode away in the direction of the Randall Valley city in a good mood.
(Little Mia is running...)
Cold, shaking...
When Xia De realized that he was in a deep dream, he was standing on the ridge of a field in the boundless wilderness under the night sky, looking up at the silver moon above his head that seemed to be about to fall.
The cold wind blew, leaving a painful sensation on the body in the dream, and snowflakes fell from the sky. This time, it was snowing in the familiar dream, and even the boundless wilderness had been dyed silver by the snowflakes.
"But isn't it spring already?"
Xia De thought curiously, took a deep breath, lowered his head, and covered his neck, feeling his neck stiff from staying in the same position for too long.
He shook his head and looked around, sighing at the scenery in the snow, and then looked at his body. In the deep dream, the characteristics of the "divine afterglow" were very obvious. The golden cracks all over the body and the dots of divine light around the body represented the new divinity that Shade possessed.
Of course, this is also the last drop of divinity at present.
Outsider, you have devoured the divinity of the evil god - Stoneheart.
In the distant past, the ancient Stone Heart was born from the changes and crushing of the earth. Stone Heart longed to become a real, burning heart one day. After traveling through the desolation of the earth and witnessing the fall of the ancient gods, Stone Heart glimpsed the crazy ending that would eventually come.
You have listened to the story of the old god "Stoneheart", and you have learned one of the blasphemies of the old god "Stoneheart".
You have acquired the magic - Heart of Stone. When you close your eyes and cast the spell, you can hear the beating of a nearby heart more clearly. At the same time, the heart is no longer a fatal part of your body, and even if you cut out your heart, you will only feel pain.
"The Heart of Stone... is associated with the Vibration Spirit Rune."
Xia De said softly, feeling his body in his dream, and then asked:
"I swallowed the distortion of the root of the earth. Even if I was in the state of divine burning at that time, it is impossible not to have some effect on my body, right? Is it good or bad?"
Your body and soul have not yet fully digested those spirits and concepts, and it is expected to take about a week.
"She" reminded softly.
Xia De sighed again. This meant that things were far from over.
This will give you strength, but it will definitely bring negative effects. However, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"It's not a big deal. I almost understand."
He trusted her judgment very much. Since she thought it was not a big problem, it should be fine.
What were you thinking when you chose to use yourself to devour those distortions
"She" whispered softly in the wind, and Shade thought for a moment:
"If I don't do this, what else will happen?"
He reached out to catch the falling snowflakes, watching them melt in his palms. His consciousness in the dream gradually became blurred, but in reality, Mia's cry had already reached his dream, and Shade knew he should wake up.
"She" did not continue the conversation.
"Meow~"
Before he opened his eyes, Shade could sense the presence of a cat on the right side of his head. The sound of the cat's heartbeat was so obvious that it was as if Shade had put his ear against the cat's chest.
Shade realized that this was his new magic at work. He continued to close his eyes and felt that in addition to the cat's heartbeat in the room, there were two human heartbeats. In addition, outside the window sill, there was another heartbeat with a different speed.
There are sparrows on the windowsill.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar ceiling above my head. This was obviously the Benanis Manor in the Randall River Valley.
Although Shade hadn't moved yet, Mia had already jumped onto the quilt in excitement. The cat's behavior also attracted the attention of the girls in the room, and then Shade heard Hillis's surprised cry:
"Shad is awake!"
Time perception told Shade that the current time was eight o'clock on Sunday morning, the ninth day of the Windy Month of 1854. It had been about 27 hours since Shade fell into a coma early Saturday morning.
Someone reached out a hand and tried to help Shade up. Although the face was not seen, the smell of perfume showed that it was undoubtedly Luvia.
Sirius's footsteps had already left the room to inform others that Shad had woken up, and after Luvia helped Shad up, she hugged him directly.
Perhaps because of the magic, Luvia's heartbeat was so clear in Shad's ears.
The morning sun shone on Shad's back and Luvia's face, and Shad heard a slight sob. So, he hugged Luvia with his arms, which he didn't know where to put.
He placed his head on Luvia's shoulder, sniffed the perfume of the purple-eyed girl, and then said:
"I'm fine."
