"ah!"
Just as Shad and Iluna stood firm, they heard a scream that almost pierced their eardrums coming from the front.
Darkness took a step back and leaned against the stone pillar. His right hand, which had swelled into half of a demon, shrank as if it had a leak and turned back into a normal arm. Although it was still absorbing darkness through the big mouth in the palm of its hand, the absorption speed had obviously slowed down.
Weak Angel Potion works.
"Sunshine Gun!"
Iluna took a deep breath and shook the holy bell in her left hand, stepping on the black crystal ground, and threw the Sunlight Spear again while running forward. This time, the Sunlight Spear hit Darkness' chest head-on. Darkness groaned and his chest exploded, almost sliding to the ground along the stone pillar behind him.
Ding Dong~
The clear sound of the holy bell spread.
"Sunshine Gun!"
Iluna holds her right hand in a fist:
"Don't give him a chance, Shade, hurry up!"
The golden lightning pierced Darkness' throat, and her body was dyed golden because of the golden scales behind her.
"Moonlight Greatsword!"
Shade's figure appeared from high in the sky, raised his sword with both hands and chopped towards Darkness's head. The surging spirit poured into the sword in his right hand, and his whole body was wrapped in the light of the silver moon.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment. The man wrapped in darkness looked helplessly at the people in gold and silver in front of him.
His eyes suddenly widened:
“You’ve been fooled!”
The originally shriveled right hand suddenly expanded and eroded the right half of his body, and it took only half a second to transform into a human pus form again. The black giant hand swept forward, and Shade and Iluna, who were already close, could not dodge. The golden thunder and silver moon swords in their hands were all shattered, and both of them were knocked away.
But the weak angel potion was definitely not useless. Although Darkness took advantage of his pretending to be weak, it also exposed the extent of his injuries.
Although the force that swept over was strong, it was far less than before. The strength that the Human Pus Form showed in the Murloc Temple was enough to smash Shad and Iluna into pieces with one blow, but now it only knocked Shad flying, causing him to roll over a few times with his mouth open and eyes closed, and it didn't even cause him any serious injuries.
The priest's potion wasn't very useful against a demon that had absorbed too much darkness, but it definitely hurt his roots.
Xia De rolled on the ground for several times before he stopped. He seemed to have some internal injuries, but he could still hold on. The backpack he sewed himself was quite strong, and the shoulder straps were not broken, but the gift box from God was thrown out of the backpack, and even the sliding cover on the top of the box had a crack.
Xia De endured the pain in his body, turned around and wanted to pick up the box, but at the same time, he vaguely heard a cat's meowing in the box.
"What?"
Without time to check, he hurriedly stuffed the box into the bag behind him and stood up with the help of Iluna. Darkness did not attack them. He was almost at his limit, and he knocked the two away just to buy time.
The man leaning against the crystal stone pillar was laughing crazily. This laughter was surprisingly similar to the laughter of the demon on his right:
“I won!”
The man possessed by the devil raised his right hand and quickly finished the sentence he had not finished just now:
"Please bear witness to the ancient god Fuxing Darkness. I will devour the darkness, bear witness to the past, and open up the future!"
Ancient runes appeared in the center of the black robe. Shade tried to decipher the runes, but he almost fell down due to severe dizziness and discomfort.
The name of the rune is "Darkness".
The dark sword in Darkness's left hand was stained with golden light at this moment, and it was undergoing a transformation.
Holding the sword with both hands, he stabbed it into his heart. The man possessed by the devil leaned against the black crystal column behind him and closed his eyes. The pus of the sword melted and fit his body again, and the hilt of the dark sword seemed to be absorbed by him bit by bit.
The light on his body became more and more obvious, and the life ring of the six-ring warlock gradually merged with the black robe. The metal surface of the brass life ring peeled off, revealing a golden luster.
A strange white light penetrated the darkness above, shot down from the sky, and enveloped Darkness. He could actually hear an ethereal female voice singing in his ears. At this moment, everyone in the entire dark realm was attracted by this strange light, and the situation in the center of the Crystal Forest was getting worse.
The human pus form faded away, Darkness opened his arms and laughed in the darkness. A ritual halo composed of thirteen different colored light spots slowly floated from the ground beneath his feet to the sky.
Based on how Iluna had awakened last time, once this halo passes completely through his body, the ritual will be considered a success.
"Melt into the darkness!"
The floating chosen one opened his arms, and a dark shock wave containing golden light swept over. Borrowing the power of the ancient god at the moment when the ritual was successful, the rolling darkness almost condensed the air into black crystal.
Iluna suddenly stood up and stood in front of Shade, kneeling on one knee. The golden scale transformed from the life ring shone brightly, like an isolated island in the river, forcibly separating the surging dark power.
But she only had three rings after all. After holding on for two seconds, she took a step back, and the color of the golden scale suddenly dimmed.
Shade supported her from behind, darkness came, and he wanted to roll the dice, but another figure stood between them.
It was Tifa. The black-haired girl actually held the sunlight sword that was knocked away in both hands, blocking it in front of the two people and swung it forward steadily and calmly.
This swing was ordinary, but it seemed to be able to split the sky and reveal the sun. In an instant, the giant sword in her hand dissipated, and the dark waves completely parted, but the sword light split the darkness in front of her and rushed straight to Darkness floating in the skylight.
But the blow that consumed the Sunshine Great Sword and Tifa's last strength mysteriously dissipated around Darkness' body. The Chosen Ceremony contained the power of the ancient gods. Darkness absorbed the power of darkness and past demons, and the power of the ceremony protected him.
At this time, only the power of the same god, that is, the power of the same chosen one, can affect him in the ritual.
The darkness surged again like a tide, and Tifa continued to resist in front, but without the identity of the Chosen One, her resistance was shorter. What was more serious was that the Dark Box she was carrying turned completely black under the power of the Chosen One.
The two people behind her widened their eyes at the same time, because the gear mechanism box, which had turned into a material similar to black steel, actually started to rotate on its own without anyone trying to rotate the gears, and then the lid of the box quietly moved away from the box.
In the already thick darkness around them, rolling black fog surged out, rushing around like waves. The Dark Box melted through the backpack and fell on the crystalline ground. Tifa was finally defeated and fell into the black fog.
Relic containment out of control.
"I know. It's not like I haven't seen it before."
The surging black fog completely engulfed the three people.
Shad grabbed Tifa's hand with his left hand and Iluna's arm with his right hand. If there was still some visibility just now, it was now completely dark, as if a layer of black ink was painted in front of him. In the darkness, the emotion of fear appeared unconsciously and became more and more intense, causing Shad's body to tremble subconsciously.
It reminded him again of the Dreadfort, of the darkness under the tree that night.
The world was darkened, and the sense of direction was completely lost. Shade felt like he had fallen into the most terrifying abyss, cursing the old gods as thieves, and the whispers of hatred and resentment from millions of people gradually became stronger. He was attacked by fear in both his body and mind, and at one moment he even thought he was being watched by a huge, indescribable thing in the darkness.
But the stranger is no longer the same person as before, and he knows what is the most sensible thing to do at this moment.
“Ignore these voices.”
Xia De hurriedly reminded him. Although Iluna didn't know the consequences of the relic getting out of control, she still said:
"Be careful, this area will amplify all emotions. If you get lost here, I'm afraid..."
careful.
Something penetrated the thick black fog flowing out of the Dark Box. Shad looked forward and saw that Darkness didn't care that he was performing a ritual. His right hand, which was endowed with demonic power, stretched out like mud and directly entered the out-of-control area of the Dark Box.
The right hand wearing the fish training ring laughed wildly and shot towards Shad's face. Shad tilted his head, and the mouth on the palm bit directly on his shoulder. The severe pain and numbness made Shad stagger and almost fall down.
"No matter who you are, I will eat you this time!"
In an instant, it seemed as if the entire body and soul were rushing towards the mouth on the shoulder. But the truth beneath the illusion was that Shad's spirit was the first to flow away, followed by the nutrients in his body.
Even the black fog that appeared due to the loss of control of the Dark Box was pouring into Shade's shoulders. That mouth not only tried to devour Shade, but also wanted to use the Chosen One Ritual to take the power of the Dark Box.
The thick fog around suddenly thinned, and the darkness of the dark realm was re-occupying this space.
In just a moment, the crazy emptiness and hunger in Shad's body indicated that this body was about to reach its limit.
But this area itself can amplify negative emotions, coupled with the resentful fog pouring into the wound on Shad's shoulder, and the further emotional out-of-control caused by being touched by the Human Pus Demon, the crazy hunger brought another consequence.
The bell rings!
Behind the body wrapped in silver moonlight, the white steam in the dark space seemed to be dyed silver.
whistle!
An inexplicable scream echoed in the distant time and space, and the deep darkness was shaken by it.
Big hammer!
The giant hammer struck from the depths of steam and darkness. Amid the flying sparks, the brass life ring appeared behind it, spinning at an extremely high speed, splashing sparks into the darkness.
The Gluttony Spirit Rune, the power from the first drop of divinity that Shade absorbed, suddenly flashed in a violent way. The spirit in his body that was flowing rapidly toward his shoulders suddenly slowed down. Shade, who was plagued by hunger, seemed to sense the rage of the Lord of the Blood Feast when his power was devoured by him.
This kind of empathy, combined with the mind affected by negative emotions. When devouring the flesh and blood of desire, the black lines that appeared on the surface of the body flashed by, and the figure of desire seemed to appear in Xia De's eyes again. The one-month influence period has not yet passed:
"Chains of Sin!"
The moment he regained consciousness, he let go of the two girls beside him and grabbed Darkness's extended wrist with both hands.
The dark rune chain flew out from the sleeves and wrapped around the opponent's arms, fixing the two of them firmly together.
The chain was stabbed into Darkness's arm by Shade, and then stabbed out from the other side, wrapped around it, and stabbed back in. On the dark chain, the Gluttony Rune written in runes from different eras flashed with silver light.
The Sin Chain obviously had no offensive power, but at this moment, in response to the power of gluttony, it actually actively absorbed power from Darkness's arm while piercing. The black material of the chain became darker and darker, and it seemed to be very suitable for the power being absorbed at this time.
"What? You've seen Desire?"
The mouth on his shoulder uttered a sound of disbelief. The devil's language rang in his ears at close range, which made Shad's desire to devour everything even stronger.
Not only was the power of Darkness's right arm pouring into Shad, but even the surrounding black fog violently poured into the wound on Shad's shoulder. After entering the devil's mouth, it was swallowed by Shad through the rune chain that was circling and piercing his arm.
Resentment, hatred, coldness, emptiness, the power of the relics should not be touched by normal humans, and the human pus on Darkness and the power of the chosen ones should not be touched. After absorbing all of this, Shade felt himself falling into the abyss again in an instant.
The soul sensitively sensed the completely incomprehensible power. Millions of hands stretched out from the bottom of the abyss, trying to pull Shadra towards hell.
The spirit in the body increased dramatically, but the feeling of the soul "sinking" became more and more unstoppable. But before falling into darkness completely, the blessing given by the Augustus priest, the cold air flow suddenly moved.
The two forces met on Shad's shoulders, and the cold blessing froze and eliminated all the negative emotions in the black fog. Although it did not reverse the situation where Shad's body was corroded by the dark power, it at least ended this absorption and transformed the absorbed power into pure spirit and injected it into Shad's soul.
As a price, the power that protected Xia De all the way was finally consumed at this moment.
