After a short confrontation, the three of them started to act at the same time. This time, after taking a bottle of unknown magic potion, the five-ring warlock of the Truth Society actually used the life ring to summon a three-headed dog, a ghoul, a tree demon, and an ugly old witch wearing a hat at the same time.
This method of using a single spirit rune for a single summon is certainly not as good as the summoning method of Leicia and Iluna using five spirit runes in series. But quantity can slightly make up for the difference in quality. The three-headed dog and the tree demon faced Shade, and the other two faced Iluna.
Shade kissed the moonstone ring on his finger. Steam emerged from behind him, revealing a corner of the three-ring warlock's life ring. The miracle spirit rune Yellow Moon flashed:
"confusion!"
The ring flashed with bright yellow moonlight, and Shade stretched the ring forward. Under the faint light, the ugly three-headed dog and the tree demon that looked like a twisted human body actually stopped and fought each other.
"Is this magic so useful?"
Shade looked at the ring on his finger, and the Five-Ring Warlock also noticed the situation on Shade's side. He did not continue to summon the creature, but rushed towards Shade with a greatsword in hand.
Perhaps because he saw that Xia De only had three rings, he was confident in his physical fitness. He even used the power of the blasphemous spirit rune to add a buff to himself, and then swung his sword directly to chop him.
clang~
"What?"
Silver moonlight splashed everywhere, and the greatsword wielded by the strange ring warlock actually chopped on the black iron chain held by Shade with both hands. That was the Sin Chain. Although it had no attack power, it was different from the Moonlight Greatsword that had been broken many times. The Sin Chain had never been broken.
The sword could not cut the chain, and the chain certainly could not break the sword. So this became a struggle between Shade and the opponent, but the five-ring warlock, with the buff, only slightly overwhelmed Shade in terms of strength:
"Damn it, where the hell are you guys from?"
He still didn't understand, and Xia De stared at the familiar sword in front of him. He had fought with this sword many times, but this was the first time he was attacked by it. It was the first time he observed the full appearance of the Moonlight Greatsword from the tip of the sword:
"I see."
The body disappeared again and reappeared ten meters away, swinging out the chain of sin in his hand, but because he had no skill in using a whip, the chain only scared the opponent and made him take a step back.
Xia De looked up at the moon in the sky. On the corner of the life ring behind him, the yellow moon spirit rune was shining. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. The light representing the bright yellow moon in the palm of his hand flickered at the same frequency as his breathing.
Standing in the dense forest at this moment, it was as if I had returned to the Forest of Thousand Trees again, as if I could see Miss Orlanod in front of me again, demonstrating her magic.
With his eyes closed and his hands empty, he quickly rushed towards the Five-Ring Warlock who was ten meters away. Although the opponent was puzzled about what Shade wanted to do, he still shot out glowing light bullets with his hands. After Shade dodged them easily, he held the greatsword in his hand and prepared to attack.
The moment the two met, the silver moonlight slashed towards Xia De's shoulder. At this moment, the light in Xia De's palm finally synchronized with the light of the spiritual rune behind him:
"Perhaps, I am really gifted in the magic of moonlight."
Ten seconds had passed, and his figure disappeared under the sword and appeared behind the man. The man immediately turned around and slashed behind him, and Xia De finally opened his eyes.
The yellow moon shines on him, and he is with the moon:
"Moonlight Greatsword!"
clang!
Bright yellow moonlight fragments and silver moonlight fragments splashed at the same time. Shade held the bright yellow long sword and blocked the silver sword in the opponent's hand.
The power of the spirit rune is weaker than the power of the core spirit rune, so the Yellow Moon Great Sword in his hand is weaker than the Silver Moon Great Sword. But the Silver Moon Great Sword is already weakened in the hands of someone other than its master. Therefore, when the two swords collided at the same time, fine cracks appeared on both.
The dark vortex appeared beside the man again, and this time, Iluna grabbed the mirror accurately.
Under the huge force, the two swords broke at the same time, the effect of the magic eye lost, and Shade regained the right to use the Silver Moon-Moonlight Greatsword. The ring warlock of the Truth Society could no longer chop Iluna's hand, so he opened his blue magic eye again and looked at the dark vortex, trying to snatch this power, but unexpectedly found that the magic eye had no effect on the vortex.
"What is this? Also, did I experiment on your friends? Who are you anyway?"
He cursed, gave up the mirror and let Iluna take it away, and took Shade's punch and mental explosion. He finally retreated to a safe place while bleeding from all seven orifices and enduring the headache:
"Midhill Castle is really dangerous. It's shameless of you to fight two against one. Just wait while I request more support."
White mist appeared behind him. Iluna, who had just arrived, didn't know what it was, but Shade did:
"Space Stabilization Aura!"
But it was too late. The narrow space between life and death seemed to swallow the other person immediately. The white mist disappeared, taking the man away.
"That is the entrance to the narrow gap between life and death. Would the truth be so bold? Moreover, they actually know how to open the narrow gap."
Shade said in surprise and tried to take off his mask, but was stopped by Iluna:
"The church won't allow me to use the power of 'balance' in this city."
Iluna explained and waved the mirror in her hand towards Shade:
“The spoils of war.”
Under the moonlight, the seventeen-year-old girl smiled:
"Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have won so easily. I've seen him before. A few years ago, he was a researcher of the Truth Society. Don't worry, he's a real bad guy. The church has offered a reward of 8,000 pounds for him. We didn't hit the wrong person."
"Here's your trophy."
Shad gestured to Iluna to put away the mirror that could absorb the sunlight gun, then looked down at his left and right hands.
Both hands stabbed into the air at the same time, and then the holy silver and clear yellow moonlight swords appeared at the same time.
One belongs to the core spirit rune Silver Moon, and looks like a standard two-handed greatsword; the other belongs to the three-ring spirit rune Yellow Moon. Because its power is weaker, the length and width of the sword are smaller, so it can be regarded as a slightly larger longsword.
Xia De's Moonlight Greatsword could not be summoned at the same time, but the same magic belonging to different spirit runes could be used at the same time. In the dark forest, the two swords were glowing slightly, making the scene in the forest become extremely magical.
"Did you learn this on your own? That's amazing."
Iluna said enviously:
"I've inquired about it. The Moonlight Greatsword is the same as the Sunlight Greatsword. They are both high-level magics. It's amazing that you learned them so easily. Sometimes I really want to ask our friend who is the chosen one."
"Of course it's you. This has been confirmed many times. But should we inform the church about what's happening here?"
Shade asked, and Iluna thought about it and nodded:
"Yes, then you leave first. I will notify the church and try to track the other party."
"Okay, remember to contact me if you have anything."
Shade turned around and was about to leave, but Iluna stopped him again:
"Wait a moment."
The girl with long brown hair put her hands behind her back, lowered her head and kicked the gravel at her feet:
"I'll be free around 10 o'clock, so... do you want to dance with me? I heard from my colleagues in the church that the local Fire Festival bonfire dance is very lively."
"You knew I would be at the party?"
"It just feels like you'll show up at this kind of event..."
She hesitated to speak:
"So, you..."
So Shade nodded:
"Iluna, see you at ten."
The seventeen-year-old girl smiled brightly under the moon.
Miss Aurora will not dance forever. After dancing with the witch, she can come back to find Iluna.
You are such a bad person.
Her voice was heard on the wind, but Shad thought the guy who had just escaped was the bad guy.
The ring wizard of the Truth Society officially appeared, and the situation in Midhill Castle became even more chaotic.
(Mi Mia is running...)
When Shade left the forest of the academy and returned to the Fire Festival dinner venue in the light of the bonfire, no one noticed that he had left. But Shade noticed that two large carts of fireworks had been transported here. Setting off fireworks during the Fire Festival is a new tradition that has only appeared in modern times.
Although Miss Aurora and Iluna both asked Shad to dance with them, there was still some time before the bonfire dance, so Shad planned to take a look at the special Rhodes card at the auction. If it suits his taste, he would donate some money to the charity dinner.
There was no list of auction goods on the invitation, but just now Granny Cassandra gave Shade a detailed list. In order to facilitate the inspection of goods and for safety reasons, the auction was held inside the castle. The Academy Hall was the main auction hall, or Auction Hall No. 1, which was the auction area for bulk goods and high-priced antiques and art collections. Even if Shade had money, he would not dare to go to such a place.
The auction venue for the special Rhodes card was the principal's meeting room on the second floor of the east side of the castle. It was where the principal and directors of the academy met. It was lent as the auction room for the Fire Worship Festival charity dinner this time, and it was said that it was for the sake of Granny Cassandra, who was also a director of the academy. Considering that her teacher was actually a twin from the Fifth Age, it can be explained that Granny Cassandra was able to establish an auction house that civilized the entire continent, had a deep understanding of antiques and relics, and could even tell the origin of the Night's Watch sword at a glance.
After all, the armored old man who was also at the party was once the owner of the Night's Watch, and he died in this area.
The principal's meeting room on the second floor had been completely cleared out. This room, which had an amazing overall depth, even had a small terrace. When Xia De came to the room from the corridor with a glass of wine, the auction had not yet begun, but there were already quite a few people who came here to see the goods in advance.
Like Shad, most people were holding glasses of wine and looking at the auction items. Among them were gentlemen in formal suits, ladies whose jewelry sparkled under the gaslight, artists with unique dressing styles, and even a few elderly people gathered in front of a glass cabinet containing a white wig, talking about the origin of the wig.
Shade heard their voices and knew that the owner of the wig was a famous poet in Delarion. But because of his romantic nature, the unfortunate guy was stabbed to death by his mistress one morning eighty years ago.
“It’s unlucky.”
Amid the laughter in his ears, Shad moved a little further away.
