"The things we took? What exactly do you mean?"
Megan asked, her voice was quite clear in the rainy night. In this short period of time, the ship behind her and Shade was completely frozen. This was not the ability of the ring wizard at all, but the out-of-control relic that affected the surrounding environment.
"Everything! Badges! Letters! And, my keys!"
The final roar fully demonstrated how angry the man was at the moment, but it also proved that the small wooden key was indeed very important.
One of the black-robed men behind Barry with rotten eyes also spoke up:
"Sir, and this lady. We don't know how Barry offended you, but as long as you return the key, everything that happened today can be treated as if it never happened."
"Don't you think it's even more impossible for us to hand over the key?"
Xia De also said it, but compared to the others who were able to use various techniques to speak clearly and powerfully in the rainy night, he was purely relying on his own physical strength to speak loudly.
As he spoke, he squeezed the witch's hand behind him, signaling her to let her followers come over.
Megan squeezed his hand knowingly in response, so Shade let go of the sorceress's hand and took a step forward:
"How about this? You tell me how to enter the island and whether the man on the island is Laplace Klein Howard. Tell us this and I will return the key to you. Mirror Society, keep your word."
Unfortunately, visibility was too poor now, and Xia De couldn't see the shocked expressions on their faces when they heard the name of the Thirteen-Ring Fortune Teller.
The other party obviously didn't intend to speak, because Barry with rotten eyes had already stepped on the ice and rushed towards Shade.
Seeing that the two black-robed ring warlocks did not move, Shade waved back, signaling Megan not to intervene.
He clenched his right hand, took out a bright yellow sword from the void, and then faced the man who was almost crazy.
"Ragarai's Leap!"
When dealing with the water ghost just now, he had already prepared the spellcasting materials, so Shad stepped out of the transparent force field that sheltered him from the rain, and then appeared behind the approaching Barry with rotten eyes.
The gorgeous long sword in his hand, which was translucent and made of crystal, stabbed at his head. Barry, whose left side of the body was swollen due to the ice, had obviously never encountered an opponent with spatial ability. Under Shad's sudden attack, the yellow moonlight sword easily pierced through his head, but after the flesh and blood tissue was broken, the ice layer immediately filled the gap of flesh and blood. The ice layer on his body became thicker and thicker.
"This person is really hopeless!"
Xia De thought to himself.
At this time, Barry was finally a beat slow and turned around and swept backwards with his frozen left hand. Shad, who was on the ice, dodged lightly in the rain, but the wind generated by the opponent's sweeping arm still left frost on half of his body.
No matter how cautious you are with an out-of-control relic, you can never be too cautious. After confirming that the opponent now has a certain degree of immortality, Xia De quickly retreated without the intention of continuing the close combat.
But Barry's intelligence was obviously not a problem. He understood Shade's plan and immediately followed him. The constantly rotating magic eye was aimed at Shade's position. No matter how fast Shade was, he couldn't be faster than the movement of his sight. The moment the magic eye was aimed at him, he actually felt that he was fixed in his current position.
This was not a spatial lock, but a conceptual "immobilization". Xia De didn't know the original level of the magic eye, but when the magic eye was out of control, he was unable to immediately break free from this immobilization, and he even felt that even if he transformed, it might not be able to solve the problem immediately.
With a bang, the mad man smashed Shade with his icy fist. Although Shade couldn't move, he could still move. While Ragra's jump was still waiting for the cooldown time, he could only swing his fist and collide with it.
Falling raindrops and ice particles splashed everywhere, and spider-web-like fine cracks appeared on the solid ice layer. Shad did not lose to the collision of forces, but because of the battle venue, he fell directly into the water under the ice.
Barry with rotten eyes roared like a wild beast at the ice hole, then turned around abruptly and looked at the sorceress standing in front of the frozen shipwreck.
The brown-haired lady raised her lips and revealed a grim smile. The ice layer on the body of Barry with Rotten Eyes, with the pale heart that was fusing with a normal heart as the center, spread to more parts of the body, as if he had put on a layer of crude armor.
The magic eye was aimed at Megan, and she also felt the same feeling of being frozen that Shade had just felt. But more importantly, there was a void in her heart, and the worry she had about Shade's condition disappeared without a trace.
"indifferent."
Audrey whispered in her ear:
"That pale heart should be the Heart of Indifference, a keeper-level relic. The power of that heart is interacting with the Demon Eye. The frost ability is just a byproduct. What we really need to be wary of is its effect on the mind. Given our current situation, once affected, the situation will become very dangerous."
"I see."
The cold emotion that her heart transmitted through the magic eye had already made her feel something was wrong. If she really came into contact with the power of the relic, she would probably experience the dizziness after overcasting the spell when she first met Shade.
She was ready to fight back, and raised her hands slightly upwards, so the frozen ship behind her trembled under the power of the witch and was about to break free from the ice. But at this moment, under the feet of Barry, a burning red light broke through the ice, and the chain carrying the power of the original fire broke through the ice and wrapped around his legs.
Crash!
Shade broke through the ice and reappeared on the ice. He jumped up and wrapped the burning black iron chain in his hand around the body of Barry. The burning flames adhered to the cold ice on the surface of his body, and hot steam continued to emerge from his body as Barry screamed.
Xia De in the air didn't care about that at all. With his back to the three moons behind the dark clouds, he spread his arms in the air:
"Moonlight—Slash!"
A brilliant silver arc of light penetrated Barry's body. After sliding on the ice for a moment, the arc of light returned to Shad's panting appearance.
The chains were retracted, and the frozen bodies fell to the left and right. Megan walked quickly to Shade and helped him up. At the same time, the unique hum of the steam engine came, and the eight girls on the two boats had arrived at the periphery of the frozen waters.
Xia De was helped to stand up by Megan and looked at the two men in black robes near the broken wooden boat. Megan's followers also stepped onto the ice from the other side behind the men in black robes and surrounded them.
But the two men did not panic, they just released their own life rings, showing the level of eight and nine rings. It was just unknown whether they were the ring sorcerers that the Drowned Cult had just sent to assist Barry, or whether they had been helping Barry locally.
In the rain, two indistinguishable prayers were heard.
"Something's wrong... The whispering element hasn't dissipated!"
The witch reacted immediately, but Shade reacted even faster, and had already thrown the lightning spear in his hand towards the corpse on the ice.
Silver thunder exploded in the rain, stirring up fragments of ice and large splashes of water, and even producing water mist because the thunder evaporated the liquid.
When the mist subsided, the two halves of the body were forcibly sewn together by the power of the relics, and Barry, who had been transformed into a water ghost, stood up again.
The eye was still the same demon eye, the cut marks on the chest had healed, but the pale heart was still embedded in the chest. As the rustling ice spread, the ugly fish-headed human body was completely protected by the ice. He seemed to still retain his self-awareness, looking at the two with a cold gaze, making an obscene gesture to Shade and Megan, and then diving into the ice hole opened by the lightning spear.
There was an inexplicable vibration in the water under the ice, and then everyone felt that more and more corpses were gathering in this area. These were definitely not the ordinary water ghosts that besieged the yacht just now. Shade felt that there were several undead individuals among them, and even if he had to deal with them, it would be quite troublesome:
"Things are getting complicated... You guys deal with the two ring wizards. It will be much easier to deal with the water ghosts without their controllers."
Shade pulled out another pendant from his chest and told Megan that he didn't let the ladies go because he was confident that he was better at underwater combat and dealing with out-of-control relics. But this time Megan didn't agree. The sorceress grabbed his hand seriously, and the white light emitted by the key in Shade's palm had already overflowed from his fingers:
"This is no longer a relic out of control. This is more like the relic fusion technology of the Truth Society. If you go into the water by yourself, you may not be able to defeat it, and there are other water ghosts."
"So, you need to deal with the undead controller on the water as soon as possible. Don't forget, I have a special way to deal with the undead."
As he spoke, the golden sun, moon and star ritual pattern unfolded from Shade's feet. White light extended from his palm until it turned into a dark wooden staff. He gave Megan a reassuring look:
"The only threats here are Rotten Eye Barry and the two ring wizards. You should deal with the ring wizards as soon as possible, otherwise I will be in real danger. Ha, I have already guessed that the action at night will be dangerous, and I have made various preparations in advance. Even if your ancestor appears now, I can take you away again."
Megan pursed her lips and looked at him, who was already soaked all over. There was a smile in the man's eyes, and also a look that could not be refused:
"Now is not the time for us to waste time. Just wait here for me to come back."
She nodded slightly, her frustration at her own powerlessness becoming stronger than ever:
"Be careful."
Xia De smiled, raised his foot to break the ice, and then dived into the water.
