A lucky break from the gods of gambling had paid off, and the dice tumbled through the air and landed in my hand with twenty on the side facing up.
He raised his eyebrows, waiting for luck to bring the final push to the maze to take shape, just as Shad turned around at the door of the house that was about to be taken away by God and wanted to save the little girl.
The maze can block the power given to Darkness by the dark realm. With the divine afterglow in its best condition, he thought he could defeat his opponent with the maze and Iluna gradually recovering. After all, when the last maze was formed, he directly forced back the evil god's gaze.
But this time, his luck did not seem to be reflected in the acquisition of the magic of the maze lock, because after the dice fell into his palm, Shade felt nothing. After being stunned for half a second, two voices said at the same time:
Look at your chest.
"Shad, your chest is glowing!"
Tifa grabbed his arm with difficulty and reminded him, so Shade took out the page of poetry manuscript from his chest. It was glowing because the academy sent a notice-
Shad Hamilton, is it possible to take over the "St Byrons Comprehensive Academy Dream" now
"Ah? Why is it this? Isn't it a puzzle lock? Oh, I remember, today is Saturday, and the academy said it would be delivered over the weekend... Yes."
Shad placed his finger on the glowing word "Yes".
The paper pages shone, and a palm-sized, exquisite enamel snuff bottle fell into Xia De's hands.
The body of the pot is blue in color, with bright yellow sunflowers painted on it, connected by golden lines, which makes people think of the happy times of summer.
The darkness was approaching, and Darkness, who had completely transformed into a devil, was marching towards them.
Under the surprised eyes of Iluna and Tifa, Shad opened the lid of the snuff bottle.
The last time it was opened by a doctor, the snuff bottle took effect immediately, and the colorful smoke that drifted out allowed him to see St. Byrons and St. Byrons' basic situation in his dream.
But this time, when Xia De opened the lid of the pot, warm red-gold smoke with a fragrance floated out.
Time really stopped at this moment.
The darkness solidified, the demons surrounding it solidified, and the pus flowing on the ground solidified.
The red-gold smoke enveloped the three people, protecting them. The three people in the smoke heard a voice at the same time. It was a gentle voice of a woman, and she was asking a question.
Although Tifa and Iluna could only understand individual words in the language she used, they both thought of similar images.
Tifa seemed to have returned to the days when she was thirteen years old, listening to nineteen-year-old Miss Carina explaining the basic rules of witch power in front of a small blackboard; Iluna seemed to have returned to the time when she was training in the Vatican, in that stepped auditorium, basking in the summer sunshine, listening to the monotonous lectures of the old priest with her friends.
Shade understood the question—
"What was the last lesson I taught you in the Forest of Thousand Trees?"
The voice seemed to ring right next to his right ear, as if the witch was right in the darkness behind Shade.
Xia De felt dazed. At this moment, he was still standing side by side with the two ladies, facing the darkness that was coming towards him. It seemed as if time had gone back to dozens of centuries ago, back to the moment when he parted with the two witches.
The dark talent of the chosen one has already communicated with history. Darkness used his dark talent to lift the curtain of history and summon the demons. At this time, the warm red-gold mist drifted in from a corner of the curtain. Shad really felt the breeze from the ancient past blowing on the side of his face.
The power of the Ancient God Fuxing Darkness already contains history, and there is no boundary between history and time. He took a deep breath, and the breath of the magical years touched the power in the snuff bottle. He just took the snuff bottle back one second, and everything was different because of the touch of the power of time.
The boundaries of time were blurred because of Darkness's wanton manipulation of power. He shouldn't use this power so recklessly.
No matter how dark the future may be, you must always believe in your own light...
"Her" voice rang close to Shade's left ear, giving him a hint, but Shade could never forget what the witch said:
"... That is the purest power we possess as extraordinary human beings."
Time began to flow again, the light under the tree went out completely, and everything fell into darkness, but everything was eerily quiet again, even the overwhelming roar of the devil disappeared.
Because in this darkness, that gentle voice whispered;
"Answer, correct."
Iluna and Tifa froze in place, thinking that the darkness would completely swallow them up, but suddenly a warm golden light like the sun came from behind them.
The warm halo spread out, forcibly expanding a hemispherical area under the tree.
They all heard "correct answer" spoken in the common language of Drarion, and the voice actually came from behind the three of them.
A transparent hand gleaming with golden light rested on Shade's shoulder. Shade had completely forgotten about the maze, and he breathed deeply, following the hand, and turned his head to look back tremblingly.
Reflected in his eyes was a witch wearing a hooded robe that radiated a holy white light. She had skin as white as milk and long golden hair that was extremely dazzling. She still looked to be only twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
Her golden eyes looked at Xia De tenderly, her beautiful face showed the charm of youth, and her eyes seemed to be able to see directly into his soul:
"Long time no see, Shade."
Miss Mana Filianna stood in the year 1853 of the Sixth Epoch and said with a smile.
Shade, who was trembling all over, controlled his emotions at the moment and responded with a hoarse voice:
"Long time no see. I never thought that I would have the chance to see you again in this life. Teacher... Miss Felena."
Eluna, who was gradually recovering from the light shining from Miss Feliana, was stunned:
"Feliana?"
Tifa opened her mouth in surprise, but her years of training as a maid made her quickly cover her mouth.
"Meow~"
Mia jumped onto Shade's shoulder and was still a little afraid of the surrounding environment, but she still greeted the witch. She had seen her before and knew that she was very powerful.
"What's that expression? Shade, are you surprised to see me?"
The witch smiled and said, a golden light rising from her body like a pillar of light, breaking through the darkness above her head, breaking through the dense treetops, and directly breaking through the sky above the dark realm.
In the dark realm, all the ring sorcerers, no matter where they were, looked up at the core of the realm. They were trying to stop the spread of crystals just now, but now everything stopped.
They all saw the extraordinary golden beam of light, and this power did not seem to belong to this era or to the ring sorcerer.
The pus on the ground rippled, and cracks appeared on all the surrounding crystals. The demons were roaring with hatred, anger, and fear. They felt this terrible power that should not be here.
"I really didn't expect to see you again."
"I didn't expect to see you in your time. What I originally left for you were just some spirits and knowledge that could be absorbed, but darkness and time communicated the present and the past. The nature of this special area made time no longer stable, so I appeared. Specifically, I think I'm dreaming."
She looked up and around, seeming to be surprised by everything around her:
"It's rare to see so many demons. My student, Shad Sullen Hamilton, it seems you've run into some minor troubles again."
She suddenly smiled and looked at Iluna. The 17-year-old girl tactfully took a step to the side, allowing the golden transparent figure to come to Shade's side from behind him:
"I'm glad you still remember what I said, so now let me do what I failed to do in the past and really teach you something."
She stood in the golden beam of light, stretched out her left hand and pointed to the sky. Xia De took a deep breath and stretched out his right hand and pointed to the sky:
"Get ready, my students, I will call—"
Everything seemed to have really returned to the past, back to the Forest of Thousand Trees.
But this time it was slightly different, because before the countdown began, Miss Felina held up her left hand and grabbed Shad's right hand. Her palm was against the back of Shad's hand, and her thumb, middle finger, ring finger and little finger were holding his hand, and her left index finger overlapped with Shad's right index finger.
Tifa continued to cover her mouth with a surprised expression, while Iluna pursed her lips and held the scales, looking at Shad suspiciously.
"one!"
She spoke softly, the golden light from her fingertips overlapping with the silver moon light from Shade's fingertips.
"two!"
Not only did the fingers fit together, the transparent golden arm also partially overlapped with Xia De's arm. The golden hair gently stroked Xia De's face, reminding Xia De that this was not his dream.
"three!"
A golden and silver halo rose from his fingertips, and Shade suddenly heard the sound of water dripping, a drop of water falling into his heart. This momentary touch finally allowed him to touch the light after being infected by fear, oppressed by darkness, and after experiencing everything in the past few months, including the understanding of darkness by Augustus priests.
That was Miss Felina’s light, which, like a bond, passed on the power of the past.
In the dark forest, sitting around a campfire under a tree, you meet him and them. Across history and time, when you touch this light again, you know that this is her dream, but this is your reality.
You touched the Witch's Light of the Fifth Age, connecting the Fifth Age and the Sixth Age, running through the long river of history and time, and you inherited the enlightenment of the past years.
The halo of light that erupted from the overlapping fingertips was not bright, but was unusually firm. The demon was terrified and roaring, and before it sensed its impending demise, it rushed towards the people in the light.
The light from the fingertips, the afterglow of divinity and the brass-colored aura on the automatically emerging life ring illuminated the surroundings. As steam gushed out, the light that erupted from the fingertips of the two people merged into the life ring.
This is the power of light, which should never appear in this era. The strange light gathered at one point of the life ring. As the life ring gradually slowed down, the eighth spirit rune belonging to Shade appeared.
Outsider, you have engraved the brass rune of enlightenment - Witch's Light.
Outsider, you have obtained the magic - the Witch Light of Filianna. A power that does not belong to the Sixth Epoch, the diffused light melts everything.
So in this open space surrounded by overwhelming demons, amidst the endless darkness, fear, and weird pus, Shad called out his new power:
"Feliana's Witch Light."
Standing in the darkness, raising his arms and looking at the twisted group of demons above, it was as if he was fighting against the entire dark world.
The golden halo made their shadows sway on the ground, and the girls reached out to grab his clothes on the back. In this scene with a strong oil painting style, the light began to spread.
