Ignoring the horrible scene behind her created by the "God-Summoner of Tobesk", the sea breeze ruffled the witch's long brown hair. Miss Aurora, who was chasing her enemies on the sea, even had the mind to recall the strange man in the temple who was unwilling to catch up with her.
She vaguely guessed that it was Tobesk's summoner. Now that she thought about it, the man's sudden appearance in the temple seemed not because of the murloc or the chosen one, but because of the temple itself.
The thirteenth ring warlock, who should have been seriously injured while summoning the gods in Tobesk and could not have recovered without decades, stayed alone in the temple for less than five minutes and actually recovered such terrible strength. This meant a lot of things:
"Is there something else in the fishman's temple? He just wanted all of us to leave... How despicable."
But before she could figure it out, Darkness in front of her suddenly turned around, and a wall of darkness appeared out of thin air on the sea between them. The witch, who was running, stretched out her hand and pointed, and the light broke through the darkness with difficulty.
Unexpectedly, after the darkness, Darkness actually abandoned the boat and used the transfer in the dark vortex to jump high above the witch's head.
It's hard to say whether this inspiration came from Xia De just now.
Darkness's right hand expanded rapidly. He used the new power he had mastered when facing life and death in the temple. Black pus flowed out from his palm, making half of his body become heavy and strange.
That huge right hand that seemed to be flowing with pus, along with Darkness that fell from the sky, struck towards Miss Aurora's head. Because she didn't expect the other party to dare to fight back, the witch could only raise her hand to block it in a hurry.
The strange right hand carried an amazing force that could easily demolish the temple, and it pushed the witch from the water surface into the water. The surrounding mermaids screamed and fled in all directions. Darkness wanted to continue attacking the witch, but suddenly saw a figure like a fish swimming quickly in the direction of the fallen temple.
"What is this?"
Without thinking, the middle-aged man who had experienced too many things today, without even confirming who was coming, jumped into the black vortex beside him, then jumped out of the vortex above his boat and drove it towards the farther coast. The brown-haired witch, who was forced into the sea by a huge force, continued to sink in the sea.
Although he was in contact with Darkness for only less than three seconds, the disgusting black pus on his right hand actually stained the witch's arm and spread to her entire body like a spider web.
She could feel how terrifying this materialized sticky darkness was. It was actually absorbing her negative emotions, gradually becoming stronger, and trying to kill her.
"A demon that absorbs negative emotions and combines with the power of darkness is surprisingly troublesome. The pus of human nature, this terrible thing actually still exists in the Sixth Epoch, so it was right not to kill him rashly."
After choking on the water, the witch wanted to fight with the pus in the sea. But she didn't expect that with the sound coming from the water, her cold right hand was suddenly held by a strange and warm hand, and Miss Aurora spit out a string of bubbles, indicating that she wanted to say something.
Her eyes passed through the long brown hair scattered in the water, and her golden eyes saw the blurry figure of Shade in the sea. Because of his underwater breathing, Shade's voice could be transmitted normally to the witch's ears:
"Please close your eyes."
She closed her eyes as Shade instructed, and then heard a soft sigh in the water:
"Silver Moon."
The light was refracted by the turbid seawater and did not hurt the eyes too much. When Xiwei Aurora opened her eyes again, the strange black pus had disappeared.
Xiada held her hand and swam towards the sea with her in front.
The witch, who had never experienced anything like this, didn't know what to say for a moment.
The two emerged from the rainy sea one after the other. The witch was soaked, her hair stuck to her face, and her clothes stuck to her skin. Then she saw that Shade looked like he was dying and could not open his eyes.
He had just changed his clothes in the sea to cover up the traces of the battle in the temple, and then stuck his fishing rod into the seabed to prevent the witch from noticing any clues. Therefore, as the ten minutes of divinity overflowing came to an end, the huge power gathered in his soul, and he could close his eyes and faint at any time.
"Hamilton? Why are you here?"
The witch also noticed that Xia De was not in a good mental state. Xia De shook his head while trying to resist the urge to sleep:
"Good morning, Miss Aurora. I found the pearl I wanted from the merman, and then was accidentally swept here by the waves. Oh, did you see what happened just now? It was really exaggerated... Look, Darkness ran away."
The two of them looked at Darkness’s back as she gradually moved away. The witch casually shot a beam of light in that direction, but it was immediately swallowed by the darkness.
"The Chosen One is too troublesome."
She complained in dissatisfaction, then looked at her right hand which was tightly held by Xia De.
“Ha~”
He yawned and his eyes closed uncontrollably, missing the warm bed so much. He was swaying as if he could no longer control his body.
"Let me try... Miss Aurora, I'm seriously injured and may pass out soon. Please take me to Her Highness Resia. Please tell her that I'll probably wake up in a few hours' sleep."
Unlike the first time, this time he learned to control the power and knew how to use the overflowing glow of divinity, so he did not completely exhaust his power.
"what are you up to?"
As the witch spoke, she saw Shad actually "climb" out of the water with a funny move. He stood cautiously on the surging faded tide. Under the watchful eyes of the beautiful mermaid girl who swam back and curiously poked her head out, the stranger raised his arms to the east sun, his eyes suddenly widened, and shouted loudly:
"Praise the sun! Praise the old man with the lantern!"
After saying this, the sleepy Shade yawned again and took out the brooch with the sacred emblem of the sun god from his pocket.
His boots stepped on the sea surface, and his squatting body tilted slightly to the right and rear. At the same time, golden thunder jumped on the surface of the holy emblem held in his right hand.
Xia De stood up suddenly and threw forward. At this moment, the lightning in his hand gathered into a golden spear in his palm, then left his palm and cut through the air, leaving a bright light mark above the sea surface and waves of jumping golden arcs on the water.
His eyes opened again at this moment, and Xia De finally said what he had wanted to say for a long time after seeing this scene:
"Sunshine Gun!"
The incredible heat caused the mermaids to retreat back below the surface of the sea, making them look even more timid than little Mia.
The golden lightning easily broke through the three layers of darkness on the sea in the distance and appeared behind Darkness, hitting the middle-aged man's back.
"ah!"
Ivan Darkness trembled all over and screamed, falling from the boat into the ocean with a splash, and even his right boot fell on the boat due to scratches. He had obviously suffered a lot of injuries in the pursuit of the witch just now, but the damage caused by this blow seemed to be particularly serious.
After all, he didn't scream just now.
Iluna Beas, the chosen one of "Balance", said that only the chosen can better fight against the chosen. Although this holy emblem, which contains Iluna's strongest power, cannot kill Ivan Darkness, the first candidate of "Darkness", this kind of injury is probably difficult to heal with the strange dark talent.
"Hamilton, are you a follower of the old man with the lantern?"
Xiwei Aurora asked curiously, looking at Shad's back, and then was surprised to see the young detective fall backwards, hit the water, and then sank.
The witch quickly dived underwater, grabbed his hand and pulled him up, so that the stranger would not drown here. Looking at Shade's face again, he was breathing evenly, his eyes closed. He looked more like he was asleep than unconscious.
Xiwei Aurora inexplicably found this scene very funny.
The sea breeze blew, and the fishy smell on the sea surface gradually dissipated. The dazzling sunlight shone from the top of the head onto the sea surface, and the shimmering waves made it impossible to see that a few dozen minutes ago, this place looked like a doomsday scene.
The sunlight also shone on Xia De's handsome face. The witch looked down at the man's face. Somehow, she felt her face getting hot and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
"Although there is a big gap, you are much more attractive than that summoner."
With a self-deprecating laugh, she raised her head and ordered the mermaid girls who had gathered together and were curiously discussing Shade to retrieve the boat and the boots on the boat, and to look for Darkness who had fallen into the sea.
She had no hope for this, so she did not bother to join the search. Instead, she personally carried Shade to the beach before the church discovered the situation here, muttering softly:
"He dared to go into the sea to save me, provided useful information about the chosen one, and was able to cause effective damage with alchemical items from nowhere... Carina, where did you find this man... um..."
She suddenly stopped swimming and looked around alertly. After scolding the lazy young mermaid girl nearby and making sure that no one was watching, she lowered her hand holding Shade into the sea.
Soon, a layer of blush rose on the witch's face, but it looked like the mark left by the morning sun on her face.
She squinted her eyes slightly, facing the sun and looking towards the direction of the rising Coldwater Harbor. The city was waking up. To ordinary people who didn't know the truth, it would be an ordinary morning in the steam age. And further away, that direction was also the direction of Tobesk.
Behind him, the mermaids and the church were clearing out the remaining mermen, while the church and police on the shore were probably also carrying out the final cleanup work.
The sun has risen and it seems to be a good day today.
"Galina, where on earth did you find this man?"
