“Ah~~~~”
A piercing scream attacked Shad's eardrums as the moonlight went out. The gurgling sound disappeared, and the sharp scream first shattered the only remaining glass of the buildings around Saint Teresa's Square, and then even suppressed the howling of the wind.
Blood flowed from Shade's ears. He endured the severe pain in his head and faced the tall monster behind the building. He used the long staff in his hand to split the silver moonlight:
"Moonlight Slash!"
But the moonlight arc was only halfway through its flight, and was shattered into light fragments by the invisible tentacles dancing in the darkness at the rooftop. Shade's eyes had adapted to the darkness by now. In the space behind the fishman, which he originally thought was just darkness, tens of thousands of pus-oozing tentacles emerged behind the dark figure like a mountain, as if adding a pair of huge black wings to it.
Watching this scene in a completely dark world, a person with a weak mind would probably immediately fall into endless madness. Xia De bit his tongue, estimating the remaining amount of spirit, knowing that he probably only had one chance.
The moisture in the air was increasing, and the dancing tentacles behind the fishman pointed their ends at the square. After less than two seconds of charging, tens of thousands of black water arrows shot towards the square that served as the arena.
"Moonlight Greatsword!"
In his left hand, Shade held the holy silver sword, and a golden shield emerged in the darkness. The scattered light protected Shade in an eggshell shape, and then the water arrows shot in with a rumbling sound, completely destroying the few intact tiles left in the square.
The black water arrows with corrupting and destructive properties bombarded the shield, and dense cracks appeared. At the same time, Shade and the shield of the seal were uncontrollably retreated due to the impact. Even if he stabbed the sword in his left hand into the ground, he could not control the trend of retreating. The boots rubbed against the ground until the soles of Shade's feet touched the ground, and his feet left two straight marks in the ruins of the square—
Winter
It was not until the hind legs that supported his body hit the broken fountain behind him, at the cost of the fountain base completely shattering in the darkness, that Shade finally stopped retreating.
"Ragarai's Leap!"
He looked up, and then his body appeared in the sky above the continuous rain of arrows. At the same time as he appeared in the sky, Shade seized this only opportunity and raised his staff in his right hand to draw a circle:
"Moonlight Ring, Second Form!"
Buzz~
In the scorching steam mist, the six-ring life ring appeared completely behind him, illuminating the dark square. When the spirit vibrated with the air, it even emitted a humming sound that shook the space. The light trace left by the tip of the staff in the air quickly gathered into a moonlight ring, and as the staff continued to rotate, it grew larger and larger until it covered half of the square.
At the same time, the screams of the murlocs came again from the darkness. As the water arrow under Shad's feet rose upward, the houses opposite the square were destroyed from bottom to top. The hand of the huge black shadow of the murloc also swept across the air.
These things that existed in the past apocalyptic times can all be called evil things. Although their power is not as exaggerated as the "evil things in the Pantanal", they are definitely not something that normal people can touch.
In the doomsday era, the evil creatures are also in a weak state. In addition, in the special doomsday environment, the power of these evil creatures will not have a direct impact on the environment, so Shade is qualified to fight them.
At this time, his "Moonlight Wheel" could no longer be charged. The price of the exaggerated size and attack power of the "Moonlight Wheel·Second Form" was the huge consumption that did not allow him to use it a second time in a short period of time. Therefore, facing the giant hand whistling in the darkness and the thousands of water arrows below, he could only choose to resist.
Then, while the huge light wheel spinning in his hand flew forward vertically with a humming sound, Shad was also hit by the attack of the giant fishman.
The halo cut through the shadow vertically. The holy moonlight was the nemesis of darkness and shadow. As the shadow collapsed in the wailing, Shade's clothes were corroded by the black water. Even though he avoided it at the last moment, he still had five or six piercing wounds on his body.
With a loud rumbling sound, he was slapped directly onto the building on the side of Saint Teresa's Square by the giant hand. The buildings that survived the apocalypse era had become extremely strong, so they did not collapse under such bombardment.
The life ring was forced to disappear. Shade, who was seriously injured to the point of "false immortality", fell from a high altitude to the edge of the square along with the construction waste. However, he tried to support himself with his hands and looked up at the sky. The darkness did not dissipate. The whispers in the darkness also affected him more seriously when he was distracted and seriously injured:
"Not dead?"
His severely injured body began to heal under the powerful self-healing power, but it was far from enough. The spirit consumed by the full-strength attack of "Moon Wheel" was not enough for him to launch a powerful attack again.
The bumpy square was now covered with filthy black slime. Xia De waved behind him, and the small pink perfume bottle that had fallen when he fell just now flew into his hands.
Of course, he did not choose the Night Watcher as the relic he brought in this time, but chose the perfume bottle of desire. Although the Night Watcher was extremely powerful, in the special doomsday environment, supplies were obviously more important.
Since recovering from the serious illness, Shade has experienced two Red Butterfly Nights, many exciting nights, and special times with Megan and Audrey. At this time, the liquid in the perfume bottle directly emits an ambiguous light in the darkness. Shade is confident in his current resistance to poisoning, so he drinks half of the bottle in one gulp, and then his skin turns pink.
He felt as if a burning flame was rising from his soul, and then he jumped up from the ground uncontrollably:
"Call for water!"
Clear water flowed from the air all over his body. As the blessing of the deep-sea drowned took effect, he grabbed a handful of black soil from the ground to fill the penetrating wounds on his body. The "active soil" turned into flesh and blood and accelerated the healing of the wounds.
While recovering, he walked barefoot towards the square, while a black shadow of average height came from the other side of the square.
"The second stage, right..."
He waved his hand again, and the black wooden stick that fell not far away flew into his hand.
The light from the top of the wooden staff shone around, revealing the true identity of the enemy. It was indeed a dark fishman, with a human-fish head and a human body. As it walked, black corrosive liquid dripped from its body. Because it was illuminated by the light, the wriggling shadow swayed and continuously devoured the objects on the ground. It itself was like a dark abyss that could devour everything.
The fishman was relatively thin, and it could be seen that in human form, he was a thin woman. After taking a closer look at the ugly face, Shade finally recognized who the evil creature in front of him was before:
"You are...Mrs. Flamel? (Chapter 174)"
Mrs. Lemaire came to 6 St. Teresa's Square last summer to commission Lemaire to investigate whether the inheritance left to her by her distant relative, sailor Jonathan Lemaire, was a scam because of an advertisement Lemaire placed in the Steambird Daily.
Later, Shade found out that Jonathan Flamel was also a ring wizard, and found his safe house in Coldwater Harbor. He learned about the curse of the Mermaid Song and came into contact with "Miss Princess", who was Leicia, who had returned from a visit to Willendel City. This led to the Coldwater Harbor Shadow Incident, the conspiracy of the murlocs, and the "Sea Return" ceremony of the Scarlet Cult.
That was a year ago, and the woman who got the inheritance had a much better life afterwards. At the end of the year, Shade even received a greeting card from her. But Shade was sure that Mrs. Lemaire herself had never been to Coldwater Harbor, as he had done a thorough investigation.
He really didn't expect that when they met at this time that no longer existed, this poor woman who raised a child alone would turn into such a terrifying fish-man:
"The Tree Father arranged for me to meet someone I know again... In the Sixth Age without me, Mrs. Flamel actually went to Coldwater Harbor and turned into a murloc? In the Sixth Age without me, how many more tragedies would there be?"
She is not just a fishman now. The darkness and shadow power entangled in her body is more terrifying than the strange shadow creatures and lower-level demons in the dark realm of the out-of-control angel-level relic. And from the perspective of the "visual demon", she is clearly entangled with countless vengeful spirits and demonic power, which is more serious than the situation of Yin Fan Darkness, the chosen one of darkness at that time.
"Is this enemy the dark calamity?"
There was an obvious cut on the fishman's body, which was obviously caused by Shade's "Moonlight Wheel" just now. She staggered towards Shade, who was also staggering, and then suddenly turned into a pure black light and pounced on Shade's head.
"Moonlight Slash, Third Form!"
Xia De also rushed forward, holding the sword and staff in both hands and crossing them in front of his chest, his body turned into a cross-shaped light mark and flew forward. Then the black light and the silver cross collided in front of the damaged and crooked statue of the girl, the black shadow confronted the silver moon, and the black light flow and the silver light and shadow splashed in all directions.
In just five seconds, Xia De, who could no longer hold on, was the first to appear in the light. He did not give up the fight, but stood on the ground with both feet, activated the power of the red dragon, bent forward, crossed his hands in front of him, and relied on his arms to resist the approaching black light.
He saw countless vengeful spirits grabbing his whole body, and he felt the darkness and shadows devouring his very existence.
"Go back to me!"
Then the moonlight greatsword in his left hand was swallowed by the shadow first, and then even the silver moon light attached to the staff of Yggdrasil in his right hand gradually faded.
Shade's feet had sunk into the ground, and spider-web-like cracks spread from his feet to the ground. The essence of the earth that he had devoured allowed him to try to support his body and not fall, but the darkness had already corroded his hands and was gradually approaching his front half of his body.
"This darkness..."
The surface of his flesh was melting, as if the abyss had opened up before him, and countless hands stretched out from it, trying to drown Shade in darkness. But his eyes were now glowing:
"I already have the courage to fight against the darkness!"
