The stranger is ready to face the terrible monster, the monster disguised as a mermaid, and the ugliest desire in his heart.
"This is... ... "
But what he saw was a mermaid who looked almost exactly like the one in the painting, emitting a soft glow all over her body, falling deeper into the dark lake. She had long black hair and fair, glowing skin. The current wrapped around her like a chain, dragging her deeper into the water, but it also made her blend in perfectly with the dark and strange world under the water.
The upper body was not covered by any clothes, only two arms, and the lower part of the body was a fish tail with shiny scales. Beauty and charm were fully displayed in the dark world under the water. No matter what she was, at this moment, the face that gathered the beauty of all the girls Xia De knew, the most beautiful face, was really smiling at him.
It was not the monster he had expected. What Shade saw at this moment was really a beautiful mermaid.
Bubbles were spewed out from the mouth of the "mermaid" who was getting farther and farther away, as if she was about to be swallowed by the darkness. They floated to Shade's ears, and Shade also heard her voice:
"Finally, you look at me again. This... is so nice."
She put her right index and middle fingers together in front of her red lips, and then gently raised them towards Xia De who was in the air. Then, Xia De really felt as if his cheek was kissed by something. With her last laugh, a huge amount of spirit that almost made Xia De's soul boil poured into her body, and the whispering element wrapped around her body. The life ring behind her automatically appeared underwater, driving the water flow to rotate at a very high speed.
The black iron-colored spiritual light was concentrated on the surface of the life ring, and the power from "desire" appeared on Xia De's body again.
In the next second, the holy emblem of love in Shade's arms suddenly emitted a bright red light. As the metal was completely shattered, the huge red holy emblem appeared intact above Shade. The whispering element was transformed into a miracle element, and the golden aura replaced the black iron aura.
In the water, someone is singing softly:
Love and being loved, desire and longing - please answer, who is it that walks the world, witnesses epics and stories, sees desire and longs for oneself, has a face and soul that all women are obsessed with? Yes, it is you, the only stranger in this world.
The golden spiritual light was wrapped around the rapidly rotating life ring, the lake water was boiling, and large bubbles were rapidly floating to the surface. A new spiritual rune was engraved on it, and this spiritual rune seemed to be very suitable for Shade;
Stranger, you feel the whispers, you listen to the exclamations of Desire.
Stranger, you feel the miracle, you engrave the miracle-charm.
"She is still the same as before, but not bad. Here is a little gift for you... Interesting soul, don't forget to ask for my portrait."
The small glowing figure deeper in the lake disappeared with a smile, and then a huge and strange shadow slid across the bottom of the lake, making Shad's scalp tingle.
"She, she... is this desire?"
So charming, isn't it
"She" smiled gently, and above Shad's head, the brown-haired girl who jumped into the water had already grabbed Shad's arm and dragged him to the surface of the water.
“Huh~”
Megan was swimming in the water as agile as a mermaid, and soon they both returned to the surface of the water.
Megan was originally worried about Shad's condition, but when she saw that he was able to cast a spell to stand on the water, she knew that he was actually fine.
They supported each other and stood up, and there was already a thick fog around them.
Megan explained in a nervous voice:
"The ancestor has appeared. The demon said that the unstable space of the central island of Green Lake will spread and devour the surroundings during the lunar eclipse. Only the Edwards can stop this."
She clenched her fists and placed them on her chest. As the pendant on Shad's chest became hot, he knew that Audrey had replaced Megan and was in control of the body in front of him.
"You leave first. I'll take care of things here. This time, I'm the only one who can do it."
The brown-haired witch then said to Shade, her golden eyes emitting bright light:
"You've done enough tonight. Although I haven't recovered to my full state yet, thanks to your last... treatment, I'm much better now. I want to challenge myself. I will stop this."
"Will your friend with the thirteenth ring come?"
Xia De asked first, to prevent other witches from suddenly appearing. After receiving a negative answer, he shook his head to indicate that he would not leave for the time being.
Looking up at the sky, even though the thick fog obscured his vision, he could still see that only a small part of the moon had not yet been swallowed by the lunar eclipse:
"I'll help you."
He said:
"This is obviously another test set by your ancestors for you. Perhaps only when all the surviving Edwards appear can they work together to cast a spell to dispel the fog, but now you are the only one here. I am not Edwards, and I cannot be the chosen one, so all I can do is help you."
The solution provided by Desire to solve the current troubles is only one step. This step is to let Shade solve the problem that has troubled Megan and Audrey for a long time, so that the witch can truly exert her power.
"How can you help me?"
The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and they could vaguely sense a battle breaking out on the shore. The church was fighting someone unknown. No one, including the thirteenth-ring warlocks, went deep into the fog, which was a wise decision.
"I will use an extremely precious divine item on you."
Before Audrey could speak, Shade said:
"Actually, I don't care about the monetary value of it, but this is something I prepared for another girl. It may save her life in the future. This item can only be used three times, and there are only three chances. Megan, Audrey, I hope you can promise me that in the future, if I need your help to save them, you must help me."
"If this is for other girls, don't use it on us."
The golden eyes looked at Xia De stubbornly, and Xia De looked back at him:
"Since I'm ready to take it out, it represents my feelings for you. Now, do you want to talk to me about this?"
Her stubborn eyes softened, but she would not give in:
"I will apologize to the other girls you mentioned, but I will never lose to them."
"Please prepare to cast a spell."
Shade said, taking out the book "All Things Return to One: The Origin" from his pocket. Audrey nodded, took off the pendant on her chest again, and turned it into a large gold and silver book.
With a slight shake, the book turned into a large bow dotted with blue gems in the invisible wind. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. At the same time, she also felt the warm white light coming from behind her:
"Audrey Edwards, Megan Edwards, are you willing to accept the enlightenment of knowledge and wisdom?"
Shade's voice had an inexplicable echo in the fog. They looked back and saw the man with a serious expression holding up a white feather that exuded a strong element of miracle in his hands. An angel halo appeared above his head, and white wings stretched out behind him. His clothes were replaced by a glowing white robe.
The witch looked at him blankly, then nodded slightly:
"Please enlighten me."
He turned around again, facing the direction of the island in the middle of the lake, and pulled the longbow.
A pure white beam of light broke through the thick fog that covered most of the island in the middle of the lake. In the night sky, which was cloudless due to the previous battle, a huge angel shadow made up of stars stretched out its hand towards a certain location in the fog.
It was as if an angel was looking down at the mortal world from the void. The strong miraculous element even affected the huge evil demon fighting the two thirteen-ring warlocks of the church on the shore.
Then, everyone saw and heard—
Tick-tock
A drop of pure white liquid fell from the starry sky into the fog, but only Shad could see it. The figure representing the cherubim walked out from him and then hugged the witch who was drawing the bow and shooting an arrow.
The rapidly rotating eleven-ring life ring was fully revealed, and this time all the spirit runes were radiating light. Then, in the dazzling golden light, eleven golden steps appeared one after another, running through the center of the life ring and leading to the higher night sky.
Audrey Edwards pulled the giant bow that was transformed from an angel-level relic. The joy of having her soul nourished and repaired made her spirit and elements transform into a power that was about to be exerted in an unprecedented manner.
This time it was not an illusory white fog arrow, but a solid golden light arrow. The power from the closed space of blood and soul turned into this arrow, and even before it was shot, the fluctuations of spirit and elements had already begun to repel the surrounding fog.
But she couldn't shoot the arrow, even if her injuries were completely healed, she still couldn't shoot the arrow. Fortunately, the next moment, another pair of hands appeared from behind her, hugged her from behind, and held the bow and arrow together with her.
She turned her head slightly and looked at the face that looked exactly like her own, the face of the glowing soul:
“Megan.”
"Audrey."
The two sisters, who were perfectly separated by the "Angel of Wisdom Feather" and achieved the best fusion state, drew their bows together towards the island where their ancestors lived.
Rest~
The golden arrow shot out, and then turned into thousands of arrow rains that rushed towards the thick fog. The power of the closed space melted the spreading fog as the arrow passed by.
The fog dissipated, and Xia De and the witch who slowly retracted her longbow, life ring and golden stairs stood under the starry sky covered by darkness, watching the white fog shrink step by step, but in the end those golden arrows were silently swallowed up by the remaining white fog.
The spread of the thick fog was stopped, but the impact had already been caused. This lunar eclipse will be a turning point for the Green Lake incident and a turning point for the space anomaly disaster that affects the entire world. The story has entered a new chapter, but everything can be saved.
