Looking forward, Shade suddenly disappeared while running and reappeared 30 feet away. Because he used Laleg's jump again, more cracks appeared around him. The tree canopy above his head was motionless, and it was also afraid of those cracks.
His figure disappeared again, and after three consecutive jumps, the number of cracks around Shade was completely uncountable.
But this was enough. At this moment, he finally came to the high platform where the statue and the holy emblem were placed. The light from his fingertips illuminated more details in front of him, and he also saw the words on the metal cube box:
This is a gift for the children.
The statue was holding the box. Mercury Blood had tried many times but was unable to snatch this sage-level relic from the statue.
But Shade was quite familiar with the old god wearing a clown hat. After reading the words on the relic, he immediately understood what kind of etiquette he had to use to take the box out of the statue's hand in his panic:
"Only children can take the gift box away from God."
So he held the box with both hands and lifted it gently, and the box was immediately picked up by him:
"Ha, as expected."
Just as Xia De paused to hold the box, the cracks behind him had already surrounded him. They were almost afraid of the statue and did not dare to approach the platform, but they only paused for a few seconds before moving towards Xia De.
The shadow of the woman who handed Shade the candle appeared again. She stood behind Shade and temporarily blocked those terrible gaps.
Xia De did not waste any time. He picked up the gift box of the Sage-level Relic God and turned to face the dark cracks in the space behind him.
"Um?"
He saw the woman who helped to temporarily block the gap, but there was no time to say anything, because the black fog had already poured out from the almost three-digit cracks. The roars and roars made Xia De's head split, and he almost couldn't hold the box. Strange starlight appeared in the deepest part of the darkness. Something was really coming out.
Holding the box in his right hand, he pressed the lid with his left hand and pushed it gently. The sliding lid moved and a gap appeared between the lid and the box. At the edge of the giant tree canopy, with his back against the statue of the old god, a second after Shade's heart stopped, golden light overflowed from the gap.
He stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes.
The bright light, the sacred light, the orderly light, is not overbearing, but unusually solemn; it is not dazzling, but unusually gentle.
At this moment, Xia De could actually vaguely hear the children's singing. As the lid of the box was completely opened, the golden light illuminated his face and the transparent woman beside him.
The light illuminated everything in front of him, including the increasing number of dark cracks in the space in front of him. In the sacred golden light that seemed to overwhelm everything, the speed at which the cracks expanded stopped.
In the light, Shade saw the shadow of a huge pupil, which flashed behind one of the cracks. Then, they slowly shrank until they disappeared completely.
“Ha~”
Xia De closed the lid of the box, fell to the ground, and leaned on the base of the statue. Only then did he feel that his back was soaked and the front of his clothes was soaked with sweat. The transparent woman in the robe stood quietly by, looking respectfully at the statue without any power.
The feeling of dizziness came slowly, and even with his eyes closed, Xia De still felt the world spinning.
"This gift is indeed... ... I really want to thank Him, thank Him..."
He murmured to himself, listening to the comforting voice of the woman in his heart, and it took a long time before he opened his eyes, breathing heavily.
If the contents of the box didn't work, he would really have to use that drop of divinity in his soul.
He opened the lid of the box in his hand again, and in the brilliant golden light that erupted above his head, he reached into the box. There was only one item inside, and he held it and took it out.
The lid of the gift box then closed automatically.
What will the gift be
She is looking forward to it too.
After the object left the box, the light gradually became dim, only like the light of a gas lamp. Shad opened his palm and saw a puppet, a puppet emitting light and lifelike in the image of Shad Suellen Hamilton.
There was a faint golden glow inside the puppet's chest, and all the light just now came from here.
"This is..."
... ... A drop of divinity that exists in the material world, sealed away.
He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
He staggered to his feet, and only then did he feel weak after the danger was over. His legs were even shaking from the excessive use of magic.
The sound of conversation was heard under the tree in the distance. It seemed that the two ladies had also controlled the Silver-Eyed Man.
He looked at the transparent woman who was praying beside the statue. Only at this close distance did he realize that she was a soul from the past. Then he looked at the statue again, thanked it softly, and slowly placed the puppet in his image close to his heart.
The skin felt the beating of the puppet, and the beating gradually became consistent with the beating frequency of the heart. Then, the puppet turned into golden light spots and dissipated in Xia De's hands, and those golden light spots flew around Xia De.
His life ring automatically appeared behind him, and as the light points entered his body and soul one by one from different angles, he couldn't help but sigh at the overwhelming sense of power.
"Why didn't you show up? Wasn't I absorbing the divinity?"
This is a gift for you, it's not dangerous and I don't need to be there.
There was a smile in her murmur, and it seemed that she was very satisfied with the gift.
Xia De nodded, stretched out his hand and watched the light points pouring into his body. Then he raised his head and looked at the statue again. In an instant, the statue that originally had no face seemed to have a face and smiled at him.
But in the blink of an eye, the statue was just a statue without power.
He did not say anything else, but looked up at the giant tree that did not dare to move at all. The faint blue light illuminated his face, and he heard a voice in his ear:
In the town where hope has disappeared, he is studying the method of making the most realistic toys. At the very end, he will meet you again.
Relic - God's gift box, giving you new powers.
"Touching this relic gave me thaumaturgy? Or was it a spell?"
The light spots gradually disappeared, and Xia De took a deep breath, and all the remaining golden light spots were absorbed into his body. The brass wheel behind him was almost dyed golden. The black iron spiritual light was gathering, which was the whispering power obtained from the relics.
Outsider, you have inscribed the Dark Iron rune of Whispering Spirits - Toymaker.
Outsider, you have gained the magic of toy making. Using any cloth as a spell material, you can turn an object into a toy.
A new black spiritual rune appeared on the life ring. But this was not the end. The second drop of divine power overflowed, pulling the four spiritual runes on the first ring to resonate, and the four-color spiritual light connected with each other—
The wind blew in the enclosed underground space. Xia De closed his eyes, his feet left the ground, and his body floated in the air.
The two ladies who were walking over supporting each other happened to see this scene. This scene was reflected in their eyes, and it was not a normal scene:
Miracle - Echo, the golden spiritual rune broke away from the ring and appeared on Shade's left side. The shadow of the ancient tree vaguely overlapped with his body.
The appearance of outsiders makes the stable time echo towards the past.
Blasphemy-Gluttony, the silver spirit rune separated from the ring and appeared on Shade's right side. The shadow of a man in a blood-red suit vaguely overlapped with his body;
Not everyone can devour the power of the banquet host.
Inspiration - Little Match Girl, the brass-colored spiritual rune separated from the ring and appeared in front of Shade. The shadow of the barefoot little girl carrying a basket overlapped with his body.
A kind heart is not power, but helping others is also helping yourself
Whisper - Toymaker, the black iron spiritual rune broke away from the ring and appeared behind Shad. The shadow of a young man wearing a clown hat vaguely overlapped with his body.
This is a gift for you.
The overflowing divine power caused the four spirit runes to resonate, causing the life ring behind him to rotate at a faster speed. In the eyes of Miss Annat and Miss Beiyas, the four-color spirit runes surrounded Shade in a quadrilateral and gradually shrank inward. Four strange illusions overlapped with his body, and what was about to happen was a true sublimation.
Steam and fog floated out from an unknown place, completely enveloping the Shard. Bells rang, steam overflowed, whistles whistled, and hymns began to sound.
The huge hammer fell from the sky, ready to hit the blank wheel ring that was spinning at high speed behind Shad.
Guide a drop of divinity to permeate the spiritual runes prepared by "Word of Sublimation".
She reminded softly.
The golden divine light that was re-dispersed in the rotating life ring converged into the echo on the left. Then the giant hammer fell, and the abnormal advancement method almost made the entire ground shake.
The treetops above were rustling, it was afraid. The two ladies had no idea what was going on.
The two drops of divinity turned into one drop again, and the white mist around him dissipated, and Shade's body slowly fell. He opened his eyes and looked behind him. The double-sided brass life ring belonging to the second-ring warlock was slowly rotating behind him. Among the four spirit runes of the first ring, the echo of his use of a drop of divinity to cleanse was now shining around with bright golden spiritual light.
When he possesses twelve divine spirit runes, he will complete the final sublimation. At this point, it can only be regarded as a starting point.
Just the overflowing divine power pushed him to the second ring without any rituals or materials. The light gradually converged, and all the strange phenomena disappeared. His feet touched the ground again, and the sense of power filled his body at this time made Xia De have the illusion that he could punch through the ground.
"Detective, have you been promoted to the second ring?"
Miss Beatrice's surprised voice came, but it was more of a puzzlement:
"Even if one is promoted from the middle ring to the high ring, there will be no such strange phenomenon... ... fortune teller."
"Hmm? I'm here."
Miss Anat, who had not yet recovered from her shock, looked at her:
"What's wrong?"
The young sorceress looked at her expectantly:
"He's really amazing. So, later on, will the ceremony for me to become the chosen one be as, uh... as exciting as this?"
This question stumped the purple-eyed fortuneteller. She looked up and down at Shade, who was smiling happily at the moment, and then looked at the soul of the woman praying to the statue, and said hesitantly:
"I'm not sure."
