His eyes lingered on Darkness's red gloves, and Shade shook his head indifferently. He had no desire to win, so he told the other party what he had done before:
"It doesn't matter what level I am in, but since you look down on me, I won't say much. Just pretend we haven't met today."
"No, no, no, I can't do that without having seen it before. Since you found me, I certainly can't let you leave."
As he spoke, Mr. Darkness had already dropped the umbrella in his hand and took off the red glove on his right hand. The right hand under the glove was obviously larger than his other hand. Under the dark swollen skin, there seemed to be worms surging.
He gave Shade a weird smile, and then raised his right arm with his left hand. Shade instinctively felt uneasy, and what happened next proved that this uneasiness was right, because Mr. Darkness's right palm actually cracked, and then a mouth with teeth appeared in the palm.
"oh!"
The strange feeling of dizziness made Xia De stagger and almost lose his balance. The open mouth seemed to be directly connected to the bottomless abyss, and he even felt that his soul was about to be sucked in.
The separation of souls was an illusion, but the huge suction force was not an illusion. The mouth was moving, and above the open space on the roof between Shade and Darkness, the falling rain actually changed its trajectory and flew towards the mouth in an arc.
The suction forced Shade to stumble forward again, and he immediately slashed forward with his right hand. The light slashed directly at the open mouth, but as a strange darkness appeared in front of Darkness, Silver Moon's slash disappeared.
It wasn't a spatial shift, nor was it that the target had been hit, but that the moonlight was truly swallowed up by the darkness.
"you... ... "
Behind the mask, Shad's eyes widened.
The power of the strange darkness gave him a strange feeling, even the strange mouth on the other party's right hand did not have this feeling. After a little thought, he realized that the darkness that swallowed the moonlight was very similar to the feeling that Shad felt when he felt Iluna's "balance".
"This is really..."
The darkness only appeared for a moment and then disappeared, but the suction force of Darkness's right mouth continued to increase. Shade wanted to move his body to the side, but the strong suction did not allow him to make any movement.
"You can't escape... huh?"
Darkness frowned slightly, because Shade's figure disappeared out of thin air, and then appeared in the corner of the roof. Before Darkness turned her right hand, Shade threw away the frog leg, bent slightly, jumped back suddenly, and jumped across the alley with an umbrella, and came to the roof of the opposite building.
At a distance, the suction power of that terrible hand became much weaker, and it was just swallowing the rain in vain. So the gloomy middle-aged man put down his right hand, squinted his eyes, and looked across the rain at Xia De across the alley.
The two looked at each other in silence, neither of them spoke first. Finally, Xia De spoke first, and his vague voice reached the ears of the middle-aged man who was putting on his gloves again:
"I'm actually very curious about who you are. It's really unfriendly to use such heavy hands when we first meet."
Xia De was not so arrogant as to think that he could fight a six-ring warlock. He escaped just now only because the other party did not expect that he could move through space. So while talking, Xia De jumped from the roof again, and in a few breaths, his figure completely disappeared in the rain.
The most important reason for choosing to meet on the rooftop is to make it easier to escape.
The middle-aged man wearing red gloves did not chase him, and even the other ring magicians who were ambushing downstairs did not chase him:
"You think you can get away?"
He muttered, picked up his umbrella and turned towards the stairs, ready to reunite with his companions.
On the other side, Shade didn't know if someone was chasing him, so he waited until the spell frog was about to stop jumping before stopping running.
When he stopped, he didn't even know where in Lengshui Harbor he had run to. He walked around a few times and didn't see anyone suddenly jump out to kill him, so he was relieved.
After taking off the mask, he panted and leaned against the entrance of the alley. In front of him was a road. Because of the rain, there were not many people on the road. Thinking about what happened just now, he felt that this trip was worth it:
"This is really an adventure. It turns out that Mr. Darkness is a six-ring sorcerer... He must have some extraordinary qualities to be able to reach the lower cabin of the Fishbone Pirate Ship. But the mouth on the palm just now, is that also magic... Why does it look like a ring sorcerer out of control? And the darkness that swallowed up my magic, that strange feeling..."
The carriage rushed in the rain, passing in front of Shade, and the splashing water fell on his boots.
"If this guy who wants to kill people the first time he meets them is really the second one, then it's really bad."
After taking a few breaths, he felt much better. Just as Shade was relaxing and planning to return to the Seven Broomsticks, he suddenly heard a voice beside his ear:
If I remember correctly, you always carry the "twenty-sided dice of fate".
"certainly."
One to twenty, twenty to one, stranger, now is a good time to flip the dice.
"Hmm? What?"
In the drizzling rain, Xia De's face was filled with fear and astonishment.
He quickly threw away his umbrella, took out the box from his pocket, picked up the metal dice inside and threw them directly into the rain. At the same time, the whisper in his ear continued to explain the current situation:
You feel an attack from fate.
"Who? Who wants to harm me?"
Shade looked left and right in the rain.
You fought back against it.
Xia De caught the falling dice. When he saw that the number on the dice was twenty, his eyes widened again:
"Who wants to kill me again?"
A powerful attack can rebound with extremely high luck. The twenty this time means that the opponent has put a lot of effort into the attack.
The twenty on the dice did not show good luck at the moment, but something must happen at this moment. This time there was no need to wait, she gave the answer:
This time the ripples of fate are the same as last time.
"Which one last time?"
The puppeteer's script, outsider, it is the puppeteer's script that is attacking you.
Xia De did not pick up the umbrella. He just stood in the rain, letting the rain soak him. His face showed shock, astonishment and anger:
"Luvia has three pages of the script, but she can't do anything to me. The rest of the script is in the hands of the Blood Spirit School, and the Blood Spirit School... Wait!"
Xia De turned around suddenly and looked in the direction he came from:
"I just left Darkness and was attacked... Mr. Darkness, are you from the Blood Spirit School?"
More details appeared in Xia De's mind at the same time, and he understood everything:
"Mr. Darkness is the person that Miss Carina mentioned. He was originally assigned to go from the New World to Tobesk to assist Mercury Blood!"
He looked in the distance, and as expected, there was a person holding a pen there, who was surprised to find that the blood on his fingers had stained the words he had just written.
"Mr. Darkness' companions are another member of the Blood Spirit School and other members of the Mercury Blood who escaped from Tobesk! That's why there are so many people in the Pink Rose Inn who are unwilling to show up casually!"
He bent down to pick up the umbrella, and he understood everything:
"I see, that's what it is. They are waiting to board the ship, so that's what it means! They are preparing to board the ship to return to the New World. That's why they are trying their best to avoid being found. That's what it is! I knew that the person who cheated at cards must not be a good person!
She chuckled in his ear.
“Blood Spirit School, it’s you again. But if Darkness is really the second chosen one…”
After standing there and thinking for a moment, Xia De held the umbrella and ran away hurriedly.
(Shad is running...)
An hour and a half later, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the panting Shad met the purple-eyed fortune teller in the fortune-telling room on the second floor of the Tobesk City Prophet Association.
This time Shade didn't bring the cat. Luvia closed the door and looked at him curiously:
"Shad, why do you look like you ran down several streets?"
"I didn't just run, I also swam a long distance."
He held his chest and adjusted his breathing.
"Swimming? You just came back from Coldwater Harbor? What happened?"
Luvia's face turned serious:
"Shad, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but the matter regarding the second chosen one may be in trouble."
He took out the remaining Kolmo Empire gold coins and the death god's atonement coins from the last divination, and whispered about what he had encountered today. While Luvia frowned, Shade proposed what he was going to do:
"Use these two coins to tell me whether I have met the chosen one today."
"If it is true, then it will be troublesome, the Blood Spirit School..."
Luvia understood what Shade was worried about. She first tried to throw one, but it didn't produce any result, which in itself vaguely revealed the result.
But just to be safe, she still used up the two hard-earned special coins, which meant that they only had one blood money left. As the coins turned into ash, Luvia opened her purple eyes:
"I saw a man with an umbrella and red gloves."
"Yes, that's Mr. Darkness."
"That's the second chosen one."
Although he had expected this result, Shade couldn't help but take a breath when he heard it confirmed. Outsiders and fortune tellers had long thought that it was impossible for all the chosen ones to be good people, but the second one was a ring wizard who was hostile to them, which was not a good thing.
"The other person is cursed by the Mermaid's Song. He will definitely not leave Coldwater Harbor before the Sea Return Ceremony. What should we do? Just pretend he doesn't exist?"
Shad asked, neither he nor Luvia would get close to such a person.
"Or just kill him?"
Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly. He still had a drop of divinity in him, while the other party had not even truly awakened. But the question was not whether Xia De could succeed, but whether it was worth it.
"Or... report him?"
"Report him!"
Luvia said loudly.
