After the loud explosion, the woman who had just taken off was shot down to the lake. At this moment, two dark chains flew out from the bottom of the lake, tying Gratoni Edwards' hands on the left and right. She struggled hard and pulled Shad out of the water, but Shad immediately stood on the water and activated the power of the red dragon to wrestle with it. With a support point, her feet could feel the power of the earth. The woman affected by the chains of sin struggled hard, but the suppression of the two witches above her head immediately attacked.
Even though it wasn't a dream, Shade actually defeated her in strength once again, and Gratoni Edwards' own spiritual and spellcasting abilities were inevitably affected more.
The life ring symbolizing the Twelve Ring Warlock emerged from behind her, with four core spirit runes - Enlightenment Space, Enlightenment Eternal Age, Whispering Monster, and Blasphemous Dragon. The life ring with abnormal black light slowly rotated, trying to break free from the chains of sin in this way. The dark chain tried to climb onto her life ring, but was affected by the evil whispering monster and could not get close.
"His Majesty Phanes's Space Sealing Technique!"
"The Ring of Holmery!"
The witches' secret spell took full effect, and a grey transparent block enveloped Gratoni Edwards, and then three golden halos forced her hands behind her back and tied them together.
At the same time, on the cruise ship anchored on the lake, dozens of figures took off to support, while more than a hundred offensive magical lights had already attacked, and the spiritual light and explosion once again submerged her in the night sky.
The armor on Gratoni Edwards had a very high protective performance, and because she could not move, she could only withstand this round of attacks. Her strength suddenly stagnated when she was attacked, and the two chains of sin finally found a chance to cling to the twelve-ring life ring.
The runes of the six sins flashed with a dim light, and the chains entangled the life ring in an attempt to stop it. The slowly spinning ring made a harsh "squeaking" sound in an attempt to resist, but as the chains grew longer and longer around the ring, it finally slowly stopped.
The chains of sin were extremely rare, and could directly affect the magic of the ring sorcerer's life ring. If one's hands and feet were tied by the chains, it was possible to escape, but once the life ring was completely locked by the chains, Shade even believed that even a thirteen-ring sorcerer would not be able to break free.
Gratoni Edwards fell from the sky to the water, completely losing all her ability to fight back. Shade breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something to the witches in the sky, but suddenly he saw a hole in the night sky next to the falling black armored woman. A man's hand reached out and flicked lightly, and the chain of sin automatically fell off the ring.
Gratoni Edwards adjusted her posture in the air. As her angry roar spread across the shores of Green Lake, she turned into a black point of light and rushed higher into the night sky. Then her expanding body instantly obscured the galaxy above Shade's head:
"Oh, isn't this a bit too much?"
A giant black dragon with black flames surrounding its body, three completely asymmetrical horns growing on its head and four pairs of pitch-black wings growing on its back appeared in the sky above Green Lake.
Close to the thirteenth ring.
"She" reminded Xia De softly in his ear, and Xia De's mouth trembled. Even though he expected that tonight might not go smoothly, it was still unexpected that this situation would occur.
The two witches faced the deafening roar but were not afraid. The dragon swung its tail, but Megan grabbed the dragon's tail with both hands. Audrey appeared behind her, and the golden and silver book Angel-level Relic Desire Code floated at her hand. A series of ritual formations burst out from under their feet. The first wave of attack composed of gorgeous light made the dragon unable to resist. The fighting power of the eleventh-level double witches was definitely not inferior to their grandmother.
Above the cruise ship, a dense golden net-like ritual array appeared in the night sky. Miss Sylvia stood on it with both feet, raised her right hand and chanted a spell. At the same time, dark clouds were gathering rapidly in the clear night sky, and golden lightning was jumping in the clouds, ready to go.
On the cruise ship, the flying girls had gathered around Miss Sylvia, and even the cruise ship was about to float into the air under control. Shade saw Megan and Audrey's head maid communicating with Tifa on the deck, and Margaret, who was unable to help for the time being, was watching the scene with both excitement and worry.
The rituals that the witches prepared for the devil were all triggered by the devil black dragon. As for the monster that Gratoni Edwards transformed into, it must be a combination of the results of experimental alchemy and transfiguration. Its essence is actually no different from Shade's cat-transfiguration technique.
Shade sighed and looked at the muddy bottom of the water. The doctor and Soren Green's coffins were still calm. He was about to transform into a group of butterflies and fly into the air to help, but he saw the hole that had broken out in the night and had already come to his side.
The hole was almost as big as the window, and Laplace Klein Howard was sitting on the other side of the "window". Shad could even see his right arm pressed on the table, and on the open book on the table was Shad's original goal in coming to the Green Lake area, which was the ritual array of the "Sun, Moon and Stars" pattern.
The ritual array first appeared in the letter found by Miss Danister, which was related to the collapsed tower in the Karas Mountains. It also appeared in the Night Temple in the Randall River Valley. The letter originally belonged to the third and fourth generations of the Edwards family, the father of all the people, and Megan's grandfather, Pride Edwards, the man who helped his children to have an ordinary life. But when Shade saw him just now, he had completely turned into a demon, and there was no possibility of communication at all. Therefore, Shade could not ask him what he had found out that year.
When he saw this picture appear on the book next to Laplace Klein Howard, his eyes suddenly shrank. But before Shade could see clearly, the man on the other side of the "window" blocked Shade's sight with his body.
The fortune teller who was believed by the corpse ghost Mr. Green to be unable to leave the central island of Green Lake in a short time, and who was suspected to be exploring the mystery of "creating space", appeared in front of Shade so closely for the first time by means of "space splicing".
However, it was hard to tell what this thing in human form was. It did not attack Xia De at this moment, but looked at him inquiringly and asked a question very seriously:
"Why do you think that everything you do is right?"
Shade still remembered that Luvia had described him as a "madman", so he didn't intend to pay attention to him, but held his sword and remained alert. So the man on the other side of the "window" asked another question:
"You must have had a way to initially obtain the information about the Whispering Poems. So why do you think that the information you first learned, the information that gave you your initial impression and prejudice about the Sixth Epoch Epic, was correct?"
Of course, Shade would not doubt Luvia's words just because of someone else's provocation. He shook his head and still didn't intend to speak, so the fortune teller continued:
"I would like to invite you to meet me on the island. We will have a lot to talk about. You and I are not enemies. Perhaps, we are like-minded partners."
Shade still didn't speak, and Laplace Klein Howard didn't get angry either. Instead, he said in the end:
"You will meet me at the end of the story of the chosen one in space. I will be waiting for you on the island, waiting for you to join our family's banquet."
"If you are willing to give up and not merge your offspring, I am willing to talk to you."
Xia De finally spoke, and this time it was the man on the other side of the "window" who shook his head. He did not explain his behavior, nor did he excuse it:
"If you defeat Gratoni, I can promise that I will not stop you the next time you go to the island."
After that, the two connected spaces closed again, and Laplace Klein Howard disappeared in front of Shade. Shade pondered over his behavior just now. He was very calm and rational, even a little too rational.
"What does he know?"
Although he didn't intend to believe the other party, Xia De was still curious about the information the other party had. However, the battle was still going on, and now was not a good time to think.
The red butterfly fluttered and arrived on the deck of the cruise ship which was more than five meters above the water. Shad's figure appeared next to Tifa and Margaret.
Megan and Audrey's maid, Miss Jill Holly, manned the ship, which had been highly transformed by alchemy and was simply an alchemical weapon. She aimed the red copper muzzle exposed by the split bow on both sides at the black dragon in the sky that was entangled with the two great witches and dozens of sorceresses.
The ancient runes engraved around the muzzle were flashing and gathering energy as they were activated by the many girls on the deck.
Shad nodded to Tifa, motioned for Margaret to stand firm, and then held the Higgs Dragon Stone in his pocket.
Even though Miss Sylvia had brought dark clouds, March was still hanging overhead. He closed his eyes and bathed in the moonlight. After taking a deep breath, he straightened his chest and raised his head slightly. The silver moonlight, the bright moonlight, shot out uncontrollably from the corners of Shade's mouth, eyes, nose, ears, and even every tiny pore on his face.
The chest cavity made a creepy sound as it exhaled, just like a real dragon breathing slowly. The mouth gradually opened, and almost at the same moment when the cannon on the bow finished charging, accompanied by the dragon's roar, the silver light bursting out of Shade's mouth and the golden light beam from the muzzle pierced through the night sky and hit the dragon in the sky.
While dealing with the two witches, Gratoni Edwards also noticed the deadly attack below. The attack from the ship's gun was only a threat to her with its own power, while the dragon roar from Shade posed a threat to the "dragon" in concept.
