Her head was originally placed on Xia De's shoulder and slightly raised, and her narrowed eyes suddenly opened. After countless battles, various dangers and challenges, she finally managed to control her body and did not have a subconscious reaction due to this shock, which would have made Xia De realize that something was wrong.
But even so, the warmth of Xia De's soul was mixed with astonishment and fear. That complex emotion was something she had never experienced since she woke up in the "real world".
Suddenly, a gentle and cold smile appeared in her ears. This time, the long-haired girl finally failed to control the tenseness of her muscles, which made Xia De, who felt her special reaction, a little confused:
"What's wrong?"
Luvia took a deep breath. She knew who had just laughed in her ear, and she also knew that it was a warning in some sense. But Luvia Fiorchi Annat had experienced too many things, and she did not stop her actions because of this moment of surprise. She continued to hug Shade's neck, and then pressed the back of his head.
She did not answer Shade's question:
"Please hold me tight."
She said softly, and this was indeed what she wanted at the moment:
"Promise me that you won't mention the tower or the moon when you're with me next time, okay?"
Not knowing what was going on, Xia De had to agree, but he could not see the smug look on the purple-eyed girl's face.
On the rooftops where the wind and sand passed, under the dim sky and the black sunset, the two souls in the memory of the end of the world were entangled with each other. She whispered many things in Xia De's ear, the knowledge that existed at this time but Xia De had never learned, her love for him, the life she had experienced, and the feelings she had always longed for but never got.
Because Luvia knew that Shade had been in contact with the followers of the god of love, so the long-haired Luvia also knew. In the dream, at the moment when they truly realized the contact between spirit, flesh and desire, she asked Shade to take out the "thorn of the god of love", and held Shade's hands face to face. At a special moment, she let Shade personally pierce the pink crystal spike into her chest:
"Yes, please believe me."
Purple eyes were crying as they looked at Shade from below:
"I may not be able to tell you all the truth, but my feelings for you are as real as hers."
She held Shad's hands, and Shad held the "Thorn of Love" in his hands, which sank into her chest little by little. In reality, the effect of this magic was clearly like piercing the water, but in the dream world, it was completely the feeling of piercing the flesh.
The crystals turned into an ambiguous pink light and merged into the long-haired girl's body. Then, the whole world was dyed with a strange pink color. Clusters of crystals appeared from the ground, growing and spreading to buildings, ruins, and the sky. Even the sand floating in the air turned into pink petals like cherry blossoms.
The "thorn of love" affected her soul, and thus affected the dream. The long-haired girl looked at him, and her tearful purple eyes were really looking into his soul:
"Shad, I can't tell you about the past, and I can't help you in reality. But now that you have given me your power, I will give it back to you."
She hugged Xia De's neck and kissed him with her upper body raised:
"Please remember this power, and cherish everyone around you. Shade, my love, my knight, my hero. Please... forgive me for everything I have done. I will always be by your side."
Outsider, your magic - Thorn of Eros has changed.
When Shad woke up on Friday morning, he was still reminiscing about that long and passionate dream. He seemed to still feel the touch of Luvia's arm, and then he realized that it was not an illusion, because his left hand was indeed around Luvia's shoulder.
Looking to the side, the girl with purple eyes was still sleeping in a dream, with the corners of her rosy lips raised, and no one knew what she was dreaming about... Well, Xia De just came out of her dream and knew what she was dreaming about.
There is no doubt that the long-haired Luvia is actually the short-haired Luvia. Therefore, every time Shade and the long-haired Luvia came into contact, she actually knew it, but the details in the dream were very vague, and she would only think it was a dream after waking up.
Although Luvia still couldn't reveal too much during this dream meeting, her attitude towards Laplace Klein Howard already showed that he really had the information that Shade wanted to know.
Regarding the future, the doomsday that was destined to come, the crazy fortune teller had half-true and half-false news. How to distinguish the true from the false was what Xia De had to do, and how to get that information was what he had to plan now.
I gently clenched my open right hand, and the faint morning light was already shining through the gap in the curtains. The temperature in the room was quite comfortable in the spring morning. It was 6:20 in the morning. About ten minutes later, the cat in the closet would probably keep hitting the closet door to remind the room's owners to get up.
"The Thorn of Eros..."
In the right hand that drooped to the side of the bed, a slender red moonlight dagger appeared silently. As the crystals spread, the moonlight sword turned into a pink crystalline dagger.
The change that long-haired Luvia made with the magic was that any ordinary daggers and short swords that Shad came into contact with, as well as all the spiritual weapons and a small number of spike-like energy attacks released by himself, could be transformed into "Thorns of Eros" under control.
For example, "Moonlight Greatsword", "Chain of Sin" or even "Thunder Spear", if Shade throws the Thunder Spear at a girl, before the silver-white lightning passes through her chest, Shade can actually choose whether to give her the effect of "Thorn of Cupid".
This sounds like it only makes the release of the "Thorn of Eros" more convenient, without actually changing the nature of the magic. After all, the original pink crystal can also be used for throwing.
But in fact, due to the characteristics of "Thunder Spear", "Moonlight Greatsword" and "Chain of Sin", the damage effects of the three magics are all superimposed with the effect of the Pink Crystal Soul Spell.
That is, if the three magics activate the "Thorns of Eros", they can give the girls the pink soul crystal spell; if the three magics still maintain their original characteristics and are not chosen by Shade to be transformed into the "Thorns of Eros", then once the enemy is injured by the Thunder Lance, Moonlight Greatsword and the Chain of Sin - the latter is a scratch, the pink crystals will infect the soul.
If the soul of the person being attacked is not strong enough, he will explode into a pile of crystals in just a few seconds. Of course, this effect is difficult to perform on a ring warlock above the middle ring. It is more useful to make the opponent whose soul is strong enough but not strong enough grow pink crystals on the injured part of the body. Only by removing the infected flesh in time can the spread of crystals be stopped, otherwise the whole person will become a lifeless crystal.
Of course, whether to allow these three magics to superimpose this strange and powerful destructive effect is also decided by Shade.
"Three types of magic now have a normal attack form, a soul crystal infection attack form, and a special pink spell-granting form."
He summed it up in his mind, but then thought of another thing:
"An attack that twists the body and destroys the soul... This newly added feature is completely opposite to the original feature of the Thorn of Love, which was to 'sacrifice oneself to protect the loved one'. Long-haired Luvia, even if my soul is severely injured and I can't even use the slightest bit of my strength, can you still give me such power?"
Shade didn't know what heights Luvia had reached in the past. Above demigods, there was a path to godhood that was impossible in the Sixth Age, but the end of the world she was in was no longer the Sixth Age. Without the power of the gods, it was hard for Shade to imagine what kind of power could destroy time and space.
"But if Luvia once possessed the power of a god, how did she fail so many times? What does the end of the world mean?"
Flutter flutter~
There were some lively noises coming from the closet, and it was half past six, and a new day had begun.
"Shad, shut up your cat."
Luvia, who was deep in sleep, said, so Shade kissed her forehead and carefully lifted the quilt. No matter what story was waiting for him next, at least now, he should let the cat that was fluttering around in the closet out.
The most important thing on this Friday was naturally the reunion of the Edwards family in the evening. However, Shade was not idle during the day. After breakfast, he sent Luvia to the Prophet's Association. Seeing that the Yodel Palace was just opposite, he took the initiative to find Leicia, whom he hadn't seen for most of the week.
Her Royal Highness the Princess seemed a little haggard, but she was still very happy to see Xia De early in the morning:
"The academy urged me to advance to the sixth ring as soon as possible. Recently, I also have to assist my father in handling negotiations in Tobesk. It's not as easy as Karina's."
Speaking of which, since Shade met Resia, Her Royal Highness has always been a fifth-ringed one. Now even Dorothy, who is a fourth-ringed one, has been promoted to the fifth-ring for several months, but Resia has not yet been promoted. She is the only ring sorcerer among all the acquaintances around Shade, except for the high-ringed witch, who has not been promoted in the past year.
However, recently, Leicia has collected the most critical rune of the five rings, the sublimation language. Dorothy's low-ring and middle-ring sublimation language correspond to the stories of "Match Girl" and "Cinderella" - "Outside the match's fantasy, the writer sympathizes with the people who are frozen to death" and "Inside the castle of night, only time can stop the blessed princess." Leicia's low-ring sublimation language corresponds to "Sleeping Princess" - "The sleeping princess finds peace in reality and fantasy", and the middle ring corresponds to a fairy tale related to the ocean "Broken bubbles/dreams are also writing the despair of the soul."
This word of sublimation requires the broken spirit rune to write the soul's despair. Among them, Enlightenment-Writer is the core spirit rune of Leicia, and Bubble and Dream are two choices, either one will do.
Because she already had the "Dream" spirit rune in the lower ring, Leicia achieved a miracle in the fifth ring - "Bubble". In addition, all other spirit runes were complete, so she was preparing for the promotion ceremony.
