After being promoted to the second ring, Shade stood there and felt the changes in himself. Punching through the ground with one punch was of course just an illusion, but after using a complete drop of divinity to wash the spirit runes of the first ring and advancing to the second ring based on the power of divinity, Shade realized that he was not an ordinary second ring warlock.
His foundation is more solid, his magic and spells are more powerful, and his spiritual and elemental reserves are more abundant. Even this body has become stronger due to excessive infiltration of divinity and special sublimation rituals, and the essence of life is transforming.
Even if he cannot easily defeat a ring sorcerer of a higher ring at the second ring, as long as he continues along the "Twelve Divine Sublimation Paths", he can gain power that is enough to rival any ring sorcerer in the material world without even reaching the pinnacle of the thirteenth ring.
You did not actively use your power, so the divinity overflow state is still continuing, and it is expected to end in 7 minutes and 32 seconds.
She whispered in his ear.
"Shad!"
While he was still listening to the voice in his ear, the two ladies came over. Miss Anat just looked at him with a smile, while Miss Beas gave him a hug.
"It's okay. It's all over."
Xia De said this a little embarrassedly, but luckily the light was dim and no one saw him blushing.
Miss Beatrice hugged him for a while and then let him go. She also blushed a little:
"Anyway, this time it's all thanks to you."
"But I'm more curious, who is this person?"
Miss Annat's voice was heard, and the three of them looked at the ghost next to the statue.
She had spied on Shad in the tomb, given him candles during the battle just now, and had briefly helped him expel the cracks not long ago.
The melancholy, transparent woman in a white robe finished her prayer and stood there looking at the three people. She looked to be about thirty years old, barefoot, with her hair hanging down her back and a crown of thorns on her head.
Her body was extremely unstable, and her transparent body kept flickering, as if it would disappear in the next second.
The woman bowed slightly to Shade:
"Good evening, God's favored one."
Xia De understood the origin of this name, Miss Bei Ya Si was a little confused, and Miss Annat said nothing.
"Who are you... ... "
Xia De asked hesitantly, but he had actually guessed the answer.
"Gina Angela Sewell. The last guardian. I did not leave after my death. Instead, I stayed here to watch over this tree and guide those who come after me to completely destroy it. It has not eaten for a long time, and its strength has weakened to a low point."
The ghost replied, and Shade looked at his companions:
"Okay, but we have to finish our work first, and we don't know how to destroy a relic."
"No problem. I will guide you. My body is in that tree and has not been completely digested. Use your power to make this tree die. And you will get my gift."
The Order donated almost all of its inheritance, and there were no valuable relics here for Shad to take away, so the so-called "gift" was probably the inheritance of Miss Sever.
Holding God's gift box, Shad returned to the tree trunk with the two ladies. The souls from the past disappeared temporarily, waiting for them to finish their own affairs.
At this time, more and more vines are hanging down from the tree canopy, making the area under the trunk blue.
Perhaps because it absorbed the corpse of the vampire, or because it was frightened by Shade, the tree still did not attack the three people. The silver-eyed man continued to be trapped under the tree by the vines, leaning against the tree trunk with a pale face and watching them approach:
"You will all die. No one will survive."
There seemed to be something wrong with his mind.
"Do you still recognize me?"
Miss Bei Yasi lowered her head and said viciously, and kicked him very unladylike. The man with silver pupils smiled miserably. After witnessing everything just now, this middle-aged man seemed to be going crazy:
"I have offended countless people in my life. Why do you think I can remember every one of them?"
"So, you remember Hawthorne the Graverobber, and you remember the Truth Society?"
Miss Beatrice asked again.
"What happened to that old fellow Hawthorne... the Truth Society?"
The silver-eyed man was stunned, and looked at Miss Bei Yasi with wide eyes:
"Oh, so you are the one-ring sorcerer who escaped. When I helped the Truth Society to snatch the stone tablet engraved with part of the Whispering Verses from the Orthodox Church, it seems that there was indeed a survivor. Oh!"
Miss Beas pursed her lips and kicked him in the chest, causing him to fall backwards against the tree trunk:
“It’s you!”
He laughed crazily, and that laugh made people feel creepy:
"I understand now. It turns out that the chosen one is you! The prophecy was about you! Why didn't we understand it at the time?"
Miss Beyates lifted the hem of her skirt and tried to kick again, but Shad coughed and she gave up.
The treetops swayed, and the rustling sound continued to echo. The corpse tree seemed to understand that its prey was about to be killed, but Shade didn't care. The divine overflow state had not ended yet, and no one here could beat him:
"Let's hold the ceremony now and let Miss Bei Yasi become the chosen one. We need to leave here as soon as possible."
He is now very tired:
"It's time to end. Oh, there is one more thing. The evil god has more than one container, Lawrence. I was reminded of this just now, and now I think I understand it."
He glanced at the crazy silver-eyed man:
“Remember the doctor’s bulimic patient?”
Miss Beatrice didn't understand, but Miss Anat understood it all at once. She showed a look of horror, which she hadn't shown in the previous situation:
"Lord Abrash's wife and daughter?"
"Yes, but don't worry too much. As long as the banquet cannot be held, the two extra containers will be useless. But to be safe, we must let the church know about this as soon as possible. This variable is really too big."
"I'll go tell the church later. You've worked hard. You don't have to show up in front of the church."
Miss Beas said that Miss Shad and Miss Annat meant the same thing.
The two stepped aside. Miss Bei Yasi held the Judge's Holy Bell, but raised her head to look up at the treetops:
"Speaking of which, how am I supposed to hang upside down?"
"I have prepared the rope."
Miss Anat said with a smile, but Shade shook his head:
"Don't bother with that. I'll use a spell to move objects and get you into the air."
"May I?"
Miss Beatrice asked embarrassedly.
"Can."
In fact, his spells are not that strong. Even if he was promoted to the second ring, it was difficult for him to move small animals like Mia. But now that his divinity is overflowing, this is not a problem. The duration of coma after the divinity overflow is determined by the amount of power actively used. The last time he used all his strength, it took a day, and moving an object would probably only take a few dozen minutes of coma:
"Attention, it's about to begin."
Xia De gestured, and Miss Bei Ya Si subconsciously covered her pants. Xia De then realized that the other party was not wearing a skirt today, and it turned out that there was another meaning.
"Look, I'm ready."
The seventeen-year-old girl said a little uneasily. After the life-and-death battle, everyone was in a good mood. Both Shade and Miss Anat smiled.
Shad slowly lifted Miss Beas into the air, put her in an upside-down position, and then stood there with Miss Annat without saying a word.
The girl with long brown hair was hanging upside down under the tree. Her face became serious. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then a golden scale shadow appeared right above her body.
"Let's begin, Shade, let's witness the epic together."
The female fortune teller at the side said in a low voice, and Xia De nodded, looking forward without blinking.
Miss Bei Yasi took a deep breath and said loudly:
"I, Iluna Emilia Beas, hereby declare..."
She took a deep breath and looked at her friends again. A pale golden light emanated from her body, and the sound of prayers overlapped with thousands of voices, coming from nowhere. The wind blew again, and the treetops rustled in the wind.
Hanging upside down under the tree, Miss Bei Yasi put her hand in front of her left eye, gritted her teeth and used her hand to dig out her eyeball. Xia De sincerely admired her courage. If he were in this position, he would probably hesitate for a few seconds.
Blood was dripping from her eyeballs, but she didn't make any sound of pain:
"Sacrifice your left eye to the ancient god's upside-down judge in exchange for wisdom."
The light of the golden scales above her head enveloped her, and Shad suddenly found that a strange power took over his actions to maintain Miss Bei Yasi, so he stopped the spell.
Fatigue came over him, but he could still hold on.
The left eye dug out by Miss Beas floated to the left side of the scale above her head, and the scale tilted, but then the ancient rune appeared on the right side of the golden scale.
Even when he was in a state of divinity overflow, interpreting this rune still made him feel severely dizzy and uncomfortable. The rune he exchanged for his left eye was named "Balance".
"I will judge my enemies fairly."
The upside-down girl trembled as she spoke, and with difficulty used her right hand to shake the holy bell in her hand. The sound this time was different from the previous ones, and the bell itself was also stained with the luster of the golden scale at this moment, and it was undergoing a transformation.
"I... Silver-eyed Diak, you..."
Without using any means to stop the bleeding, the blood from Miss Bei Yasi's left eye continued to drip down, and she became weaker and weaker:
"You killed the innocent, harmed the weak, and robbed the remains of pagans. Together with the cultists, you tried to call upon the evil gods to descend upon the material world."
Her eyes gradually became hazy, but the light on her body became more and more obvious. Miss Bei Yasi's second-ring warlock's life ring appeared behind her, gradually rising into the air and overlapping with the golden scale.
White light from the sky penetrated the soil and shone down from above, covering the person hanging upside down under the tree. A ritual halo composed of thirteen dots of light of different colors extended from the feet above to the head below.
She said with difficulty:
"As the Chosen One of Balance, I sentence you to..."
