To be honest, on a rainy night, the environment in the water is actually better than on the surface of the water, after all, it doesn't rain in the water. Once you adapt to the environment and water under Green Lake, moving by breathing underwater is not slower than running on the ice.
The group of water ghosts that gathered underwater had surrounded Shade when he went into the water again, but as the witch detection badge glowed again, the water ghosts were "melted and burned" layer by layer, and their mutilated corpses fell all over the nearby riverbed.
Even though those special strengthened undead individuals were able to break through the damage of the angel of death's power to the undead within fifty feet, after being severely weakened, Shad could still easily defeat them when facing the moonlight slash.
The underwater vision is even worse than that on the surface. Xia De has no idea how many water ghosts there are this time, but the number he perceives has exceeded four digits. The source of these corpses makes his scalp tingle just thinking about it.
The most important target, the water ghost-like Barry, had hidden himself among the water ghosts from the beginning. While the soft holy white light purified the water ghosts that were besieging him layer by layer, Barry continuously shot black icicles infected by the whispering element at Shade, but after the water ghosts were quickly consumed, he finally could not wait patiently for an opportunity and took the initiative to swim towards Shade.
The transmission of sound under the water would be hindered, so the two did not waste words. Barry still maintained his human form, but he was as flexible as a fish in the water. He quickly entered the range of fifty feet around Shade, but because of the whispering elements of the relic, he was not weakened as much as other water ghosts.
As he swam towards Shade, dense icicles appeared around him and quickly shot towards him. Shade had just come into contact with these icicles with the whispering element and knew that they were not something he could just stand up to. So he waved his long staff underwater, and the spinning shadow ball collided with the icicles, and the gravel continued to fall deeper into the water.
The ugly water ghost was getting closer and closer to Shade, and the hatred on his alienated face was undisguised, and the coldness made the water colder and almost frozen. But Shade was not afraid at all. Now was not the time for him to face the weird weak situation caused by the scales losing control together with Dorothy.
"Chains of Sin!"
Bubbles flew out of his mouth and floated to the lake above. He summoned black chains to wrap around his body, and then the primordial fire spread along the chains, making the chill that invaded his body completely disappear, as if he was wearing a simple flame chainmail:
"The chains of sin have no effect on me."
He thought to himself, then holding the staff in one hand, he swam towards Rotten-Eyed Bari without fear.
The two figures, one on the left and one on the right, showed extremely fast speed in the dark water, pulling out a chain of white bubbles behind their bodies as they swam. When the ice-white and flame-red figures collided with each other, the warm water mixed with ice cubes splashed on the ice surface like a fountain, even attracting the attention of everyone in the chaotic water battlefield.
In the distance, in the direction of the central island shrouded in white mist, a figure entangled with a large number of tentacles was approaching. The witch in the rain shouted a warning to welcome the new enemy.
Under the water, Shade endured the stench and hugged the water ghost in front of him. The long staff in his hand turned into a lightning spear, which pierced through the pale relic heart of the water ghost Barry. Of course, relics are not so easy to destroy. The huge ice spike in the right hand of the water ghost Barry also pierced Shade's left chest. Due to the effect of the heart of stone, Shade just felt very painful.
The burning chains of sin bound the water ghost, preventing it from breaking free from the long staff that was leaping with silver-white thunder, and the water ghost's bulging magic eyes also stared at Shade, preventing him from easily breaking free from the ice spikes.
The flames on the chains of sin melted the ice of the water ghost, burning its nearly semi-elemental body; and the ice spike made of lake water also released cold air from the wound, freezing Shade's body. What was more serious was that the empty indifference caused by the gaze of the "remains of the nameless" once again surged into Shade's heart.
The whispering element of out-of-control relics has a much stronger impact on normal people than relics in containment. Even now, Shade still felt dizzy, and felt indescribable madness and indifference in his heart.
He knew that he still loved everything around him, but he felt that none of it mattered anymore. The conflicting psychology made his mental power even more agitated, and Shade was also affected by the relics, drifting towards the abyss of losing control little by little.
Therefore, now he could only get rid of the water ghost in front of him as soon as possible, and shelter or keep away from the damn heart as much as possible.
The bubbles moved upwards, and the water ghost and Shade "embraced" each other, falling together into the deeper parts of the lake.
The hatred in the water ghost Baliyu's eyes for Shade seemed to be hotter than the flames on Shade's iron chain:
"Do you know? It took me twenty years! Twenty years to get to where I am now! Twenty years, how many twenty years can a living person have? I gave up the hope of becoming a ring warlock, was sent by the cult, came here incognito, and dealt with those stupid country bumpkins and brainless hooligans. After twenty years, I finally have the business I have now. I have clearly obtained the qualifications, I have clearly reached the last step, and I have clearly not made any mistakes. Why, why did you show up?"
The reluctance and hatred in those words almost turned into a real curse. Xia De could fully understand his reluctance and knew how desperate he was at the moment.
After being ambushed by Megan, merging with the relic was probably not his idea, but a "voluntary" choice made by the two black-robed warlocks in order to make him make up for his mistakes.
Now, not only has he merged the relics, but he himself has become an undead. He has worked hard in Green Lake City for so long, but in the end, he ended up like this. Shade understands his hatred for himself, but the enemy is the enemy:
"Did those people you killed and used for experiments ever tell you these things?"
The lightning gun continuously destroyed the water ghost's body structure, but once the flesh and blood were destroyed, ice would fill it up. Shade was affected by the relic, and his mind gradually became abnormal. The water ghost Barry was definitely not doing well at this time.
Bubbles were coming out of the mouths of the water ghost and Shade, but they both had the ability to breathe underwater. Both knew that as long as they could outlast the other, they would win, and they both firmly believed that they had the greatest advantage.
"Suffocate!"
The water ghost's normal eye stared at Xia De, and the evil god's holy emblem flashed in his eyes. Xia De felt the suffocation instantly, but then the suffocation disappeared.
The two continued to fall deeper into the water. Xia De held the ice spike with his left hand, trying to wrestle with the water ghost to pull it out, while laughing:
"Don't you know where my underwater breathing comes from? I witnessed your master's figure with my own eyes, and then realized the ability to breathe underwater."
"You blasphemer!"
The water ghost Barry endured the pain of being burned all over his body and increased the force of piercing the ice spike through Shade's chest. At the same time, his abnormal mental fluctuations also caused the relic to react further. Dense icicles extended to the chain of sin and wrapped it, trying to extinguish the eternal fire.
As for Xia De, his entire upper body was covered with thin ice, and a large amount of cold air spread into the lake with the two fallen people as the origin.
Empty and indifferent, the meaning of the world was disappearing from Xia De's heart. However, because he was still fighting for his life, he didn't care about this. All he cared about was letting the corpse in front of him truly die.
"Blasphemer? If conditions permit, I would even like to take you to Coldwater Harbor to see the Scarlet Order and see if they are interested in transforming you into a murloc!"
As he spoke coldly, the light of the Thunder Spear in his hand became more dazzling, and at the same time, Shade's body began to emit a silver light. But this was not the usual soft light, but an unusually cold silver-white moonlight.
However, this moonlight seems to be closer to the essence of real moonlight, because the moon itself is so lonely and cold.
"After twenty years of hard work, I will never fail like this. I won't accept this, I won't accept this!"
As the light appeared on Shade's body, the water ghost became more and more crazy. The coldness of the ice on his body made it impossible for the two to make any movements other than speaking and blinking. The black iron light representing the whispering element flickered at the bottom of the deep lake, a faint light visible to the naked eye.
The cold white light and the deep dark light mixed together. If the heart was not dealt with in time, the entire Green Lake might be frozen.
"Twenty years! How many twenty years can we have in a lifetime?"
The ice spikes penetrated further into Shade's chest.
"You no longer have a life! You are already dead! You have been resurrected as a water ghost by your companions!"
The cold moonlight carried an even more untouchable sense of holiness, and the water ghost's face actually began to melt in the light. The balance of victory was shifting towards Shade.
"Death! Death is just a new beginning, and you will eventually be abandoned by everyone and sink into an unknown abyss! Haven't you noticed? Why haven't we touched the bottom of the lake yet! Is Green Lake really that deep?"
Xia De tried hard to look down. It was a bottomless dark abyss. Endless terror surged into his heart as he looked at it, but the indifference and emptiness in his heart made him completely ignore this abnormal emotion. He no longer cared about anything, not where he would fall. There was only one thought in his empty heart -
"All I want now is for you to return to the deepest death!"
Instead of trying to swim up, he held onto the water ghost and continued to fall. The moonlight became colder and colder, and the face of the water ghost, melting under the silver light, became more and more terrifying. Even the most terrifying corpse was not one tenth as terrifying as his face at this moment.
