"Patton!"
"Joey Barton!"
An extreme sense of crisis surged into Shad's heart, and then everyone saw it, a skinny black giant wearing a cloak rising from behind Joey Barton.
A huge shadow covered everyone on the ice, and it seemed as if the world was completely silent. No one could see what was inside the cloak, but they could all see the black sickle.
"Is this the true power of the Chosen One of Death..."
The huge black sickle slowly swept across the ice surface. It was so slow, but time seemed to stop because of the swing of the sickle. Because he had seen real death, Shade understood that this was a swing that contained the meaning of death and the end. Any living being that was hit would immediately step into death.
"Death's scythe."
Joey Barton sighed softly, and a dark streak of light swept across everyone on the ice. The ice was shattered into slag powder just by being touched by the sickle, and huge waves surged, and death would end everything.
"balance!"
In the black shadow, dark golden light shot up into the sky. With a golden scale suspended behind her, Iluna, furious, threw the golden thunder spear into the night sky.
The shining golden light broke through the surface of the lake, and the bursting thunder seemed to end everything.
The sunlight gun hit Joey Barton directly, and the latter took a step back and retreated into the opening of the narrow white mist, which melted the thunder.
"Space Stabilization Aura!"
A hand appeared behind Barton, and Shade grabbed his sturdy right arm:
The deformed boy's face turned to look at Xia De, and his left eye instantly turned completely black and looked at Xia De.
Instant death attack... ... No, even if you fail the judgment, you will not die, he is holding back.
The sudden chill in his soul froze Shad in place. Joey Barton stood on the remaining ice, turned around and pulled the clown towards the reopened narrow passage. But at this moment, a dark vortex appeared behind him:
"Sunshine Gun!"
Using the dark talent of the chosen, Iluna passed through the vortex with her right hand, and the sunlight spear hit Joey Barton's back head-on. Shade was splashed by thunder at a close distance, but he also saw the golden spear piercing his body.
"this... ... "
The narrow entrance disappeared, taking away the Joker and Barton, whose life or death was unknown. After recovering from the coldness of death, Shade looked at the lake again. Only ice fragments were floating in the mist, and the sparkling waves under the moonlight witnessed everything that had just happened.
"He's definitely not dead... Oh no, Iluna!"
Walking on the surface of the spell-bound water, Shad hurriedly ran to the center of the lake. He saw the golden light in the lake, and immediately reached out his hand into the lake and scooped up Iluna from the water.
She blocked the Grim Reaper's scythe for her colleagues in the church, and then threw the Sunlight Lance with all her might, looking very weak.
She held Shade's hand and raised her wet head out of the water. The 17-year-old girl coughed a few times, wiped off her shoes underwater without hesitation, then hugged Shade's neck with both hands, stepped on Shade's feet and stood up.
The golden scale behind him slowly dissipated, his long brown hair was still dripping with water, and his eyes were filled with anger under his wet eyelashes:
"Oh, I thought he could become a member of the church, but he actually attacked us!"
The golden scales representing the power of "balance" blocked most of the power of the "Death Scythe". Several members of the Society of Truth were all killed, and their bodies had sunk into the water. The other members of the Church of the Sun fell into a brief coma and were lifted out of the water by Iluna controlling the water.
"I'm glad you're okay."
Shade breathed a sigh of relief and took Mia the cat out of his pocket. The cat looked around. Then Shade took out a towel and handed it to Iluna, who shook her head and didn't take it.
"Joey Barton is definitely not dead. I'm sure of that. Didn't he look normal last time at the Crow Club? How did he suddenly go crazy? I originally thought that he could be our companion."
The soaked Iluna asked through gritted teeth, looking really angry. The water drops from her hair fell onto Mia's head, and the timid cat immediately shrank back into Shade's arms, but soon poked its head out again and looked up at the dripping hair.
"People always have many ideas. But the good news is that at least this chosen one did not join the Truth Society's camp."
Standing on the water, Shade helped Iluna to stand steady, with her fair feet stepping on his shoes. The two hugged each other and turned to look at the moon in the distance on the lake:
"The bad news is that Joey Barton is heading in a different direction from us. Look, the plan of our fortune teller friend has really gone wrong again. The first candidate has fled to the narrow space, and I'm afraid that what will happen next will be very troublesome."
Iluna spoke softly, the moonlight shining on her face, and her tone was inexplicably softer.
"That was just a lamb that was lost on the road of life. He confused life and death and thought he could bring the dead back to life. But he didn't know that it was not that easy to bring the dead back to life. Even if God agreed, he would still have to endure a thousand years of mutual torture."
Xia De thought of Grace and Helen, and he sighed:
"Tell the church everything, and search for Barton in the narrow space with all your strength. Now that things have come to the final step, it's time to end it. If he really pulled back a dead soul from real death through the extremely fragile narrow space, then no matter which channel he used, the collapse of the narrow space may not be blocked by the church's divine rituals. Why are the living always keen on bringing the dead back?"
"Because the living always have too many regrets, just like you went to save your priest friend... ... Next time we meet, I won't let him go like I did today."
Iluna gritted her teeth and said:
"Even if he is extremely talented and has been able to unearth this terrifying power before the ritual, he will definitely be the one to die in a fair one-on-one fight."
She had just hugged Xia De's waist, but now she hugged Xia De's neck and looked into his eyes:
"Just wait and see, detective. I will not let you down this time."
Although she was usually very shy, but at this moment of anger and in the moonlit atmosphere, Iluna Beyath took the initiative to kiss Shade.
The girl's lips were also wet, and the two stood on the silent lake, with the moonlight shining through the valley. If there weren't a few unconscious people floating around, the scene would probably be more romantic.
"She clearly had enough energy to keep her colleagues from sinking, so why did she fall into the water instead?"
You'd better not ask this question.
