"Moonlight Greatsword!"
Miss Orlanod's fighting skills allowed Shade to learn how to attach invisible spiritual weapons to physical weapons. The middle-aged witch used a branch to transform the sword, which was shining with the light of the silver moon, and was stabbed by Shade at the bat in the blood mist behind him.
The group of bats easily dodged Shade's attack, but because Shade stopped to counterattack, the blood mist caught up with them.
The bats gathered together, and the woman who walked out of them summoned the eleven-ring life ring without even saying a word. A blood-red sword that was larger than the surrounding trees slashed out from the air, and Shade quickly swung his sword to counterattack.
With a sharp metal collision sound, the sword in his hand flew out. But the bloody sword did not attack the enemy again, but turned into a giant hand to grab Grace and Helen:
"Sorry, you can't take the Red Butterfly Twins with you!"
"Silver Moon Slash!"
Xia De kicked out in the air, but the arc-shaped light blade did not break the bloody hand.
But in the uncorrupted white mist, a new soul walked out at this time. He picked up the long sword dropped by Shade, jumped high and smashed the giant red hand. After drinking the potion, he slapped forward fiercely, and with the roar of the distorted air, he blasted away the blood mist.
The gray-haired old man's face gradually became clear. He was wearing brown cloth armor and long-sleeved leather gloves. His face was full of cracks from weathering, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp.
He was the old man in the God's Beverage Party. He was also the owner of the Night Watch and finally died in the Xikar Mountain area.
"Sir, take the girls away."
Perhaps in his time, men could not become extraordinary. But as a soul, accumulating rage, holding a long sword, he also had the power to fight:
"Girls, this is to repay you. Thank you, thank you for giving me the pills (609). After all these years, I finally have the chance to repay you!"
He held the sword and faced the eleventh-ring vampire, while Shade pulled Helen and Grace and ran further away:
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Above the city of Midhill Castle, more and more horrible and twisted limbs stretched out from the giant cocoon, and the cocoon was wriggling as if something disgusting inside wanted to break out immediately. Every time those limbs were destroyed by the church, they would grow out at a faster rate.
As more and more holes appeared on the cocoon, even Shade, who was at the foot of the mountain, could clearly guess how terrifying the monster hatched from the narrow power inside the cocoon would be.
Oh~
Even though it had not yet been fully born, the terrifying howling that seemed to come from the abyss was already deafening. In the night sky above the white fog, black lightning suddenly appeared. At the same time, in the city below the giant cocoon, the traces of the ritual became brighter and brighter, and more and more ring sorcerers appeared in the air.
Shade still held Helen and Grace's hands and ran in the forest. Even though a brave soul blocked the pursuing vampires for them, the blood mist and bloodstains on the ground were still chasing them.
"Sir, it seems we can't escape."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Xia De refuted without even turning his head:
"If I didn't have the confidence to save you, why would I come here?"
Grace and Helen's strength was recovering. As they were running wildly in the forest, Shad couldn't even tell whether he was running or had turned into a group of red butterflies flying forward.
But the dense forest was gradually becoming sparse, and it seemed that they would soon leave this blood mist forest.
"When this is over, I would like to invite you to visit St. Teresa's Square and see my home in this era. I would also like to invite you to visit Tobesk and experience the scenery of the northern pearl with the most developed industrial civilization in the world. I would also like you to help my friend. I know two other girls whose souls are connected to each other, but they can never meet..."
Xia De kept talking about his thoughts, not only wanting to give Helen and Grace confidence, but also wanting to give himself confidence.
The girls in white and black dresses followed behind him and looked at his back, thinking that all the people in the party would meet again tonight. For a moment, they felt that they might have never left the party at Night Manor.
When Shad finished telling the story of Dorothy and Leithia, the forest had come to an end. Shad suddenly jumped out of the last bush, but everything in front of him stopped him.
He, Grace and Helen came to the shore of Lake Bena again. This time, the lake water had really turned blood red.
Blood mist lingered, and the thick smell of blood and wine wafted through the air. On the densely packed wooden stakes standing by the lake, the original mummies had also turned into nobles wearing gorgeous costumes from different eras.
They were impaled on wooden stakes, but they did not wail. Instead, they faced the lake with solemn expressions, as if they were waiting for the arrival of a noble person.
The blood-red lake was still calm, even the water near the beach was still. But the antique coffin that was originally floating in the lake was gradually drifting towards the shore.
There was only a faint blood mist on the lake surface at this time. In the middle of two small hills in the distance, the scarlet full moon seemed to be about to fall into the lake in the next second.
The red moon was so clear and beautiful. Just looking at it was like being drawn into a black hole, and I couldn't look away.
The red moon looked like a flawless transparent bead, but it also looked like a disgusting mass of flesh covered with tumors. The red light shone on the faces of the three people who had just escaped from the bushes. The expressions of Helen and Grace gradually became peaceful, but Shade felt his eyelids unconsciously wanting to droop.
He was too tired. Since leaving the Blind House in the afternoon, he had fought many battles in succession, and also went to the past in the middle, and then the battle in death happened again. After walking out of death, he rushed to the auction house without stopping, and then experienced the battle in the mountains.
And now, looking at the increasingly clear blood-red moon, Xia De subconsciously wanted to close his eyes and remain motionless.
"no... ... "
He held on tightly to Helen and Grace's hands, and turned to go back to the forest. Unexpectedly, after diving into the dense forest, he still saw the red moon and the shore of Lake Bena shrouded in blood mist.
They could no longer leave, as the midnight bell was about to ring, and this scene at the foot of Mount Sikar was so sacred, solemn and weird.
The black-robed vampires prayed in unison, and the sacrifices impaled on the stakes praised the blood and the moon loudly, the sound almost broke Shade's eardrums. The scarlet lake seemed to have the blood of thousands of people dripped into it, but it was just a glass of wonderful red wine.
The smell of blood and wine was so intoxicating that when an unidentified hymn sounded in his ears, Shad did not immediately look for the source of the song.
"Can't leave? This is the worst possible scenario..."
He took down the fishing rod on his back and stopped to listen to the songs praising the blood moon. The childish singing mixed together, but unlike the grand and holy voice expressed by the Orthodox Church choir, it had a kind of evil sacredness.
The calm blood lake surged with waves, causing the coffin to slowly approach the shore. A beam of blood-colored light pierced through the blood mist above, fell from the sky, enveloped the coffin, and moved with it.
Everything in front of him was doubled. The kneeling people were sometimes vampires and sometimes mummies that had been drained of blood. Behind them was sometimes a forest of blood mist and sometimes a red rose garden surrounded by thorns. And in front of him, the water of Lake Bena emitted a red halo, stimulating Shad's Blood Echo to operate on its own.
The metal coffin, enveloped by a red beam of light, had already reached the waters near the shore. The mental pressure was increasing bit by bit, and the chaotic and uncontrolled blasphemous power was seeping in bit by bit.
It was just a coffin, but in Xia De's eyes, it was "bigger" than the entire Sikar Mountain and the entire Rommel Mountain Range. The surface of the coffin reflected the light of the red moon, and the originally rusted metal was repaired little by little under the red moon until it turned into pure silver.
A huge inverted cross appeared on the surface of the silver coffin, and rows of fine carvings were adding more external decoration to the coffin. Then, the surface of the silver metal coffin was sunken, revealing nine grooves for placing items.
Holding the fishing rod in his left hand and taking out the blood wine made from a quarter of Joey Barton's soul in his right hand, Shad did not try to escape again, but walked forward.
Helen and Grace followed him unconsciously until the three of them arrived at the lake.
The pure silver coffin did not approach the shore, but stopped in the shallow water. The scarlet lake suddenly began to surge, and layers of blood continued to cover the surface of the pure silver coffin amid the increasingly loud hymns.
There was more blood color in the silver, and as it was washed by the lake water, it completely turned into a blood-colored metal coffin.
Pulled by an invisible force, the coffin stood upright and rose slightly into the air in the red skylight. The eight relics held by the mummies pierced by wooden stakes and the blood-thorned scepter from the depths of the dense forest flew out at the same time and embedded themselves on the surface of the coffin.
For a moment, Shade seemed to hear the sound of gears turning. He didn't know what it meant, but he knew that He was coming. A bell rang in the distance, and large flocks of bats flew from the blood moon in the valley to the woods.
It's midnight.
"She" sighed softly in Xia De's ear.
In the sky above Midhill Castle in the distance, the undead and the ring warlocks seemed to be unable to see the blood mist and light column at the foot of the mountain. A penetrating crack appeared on the surface of the giant cocoon, and after the last black lightning struck the giant cocoon, the white mist cocoon completely shattered.
What appeared before the ring sorcerers was an indescribable image, a giant undead beast with a terrifying giant head and countless strange limbs growing around it. Black giant hands, creeping disgusting tentacles, gray-white bone dragon heads, and even the slender bodies of underground worms. The beast seemed to have stitched all the powerful beings that died in the Xikar Mountain area onto its own body, and as the giant head roared, black ripples quickly spread, knocking down all the enemies surrounding it.
The night fog in Midhill Castle grew thicker.
And beside Lake Bena, above the blood lake, under the blood mist, in the blood moon—
Squeak~
With the clear sound of rotation, the blood-red metal coffin standing in the air was pushed open to create a gap.
Xia De stretched out his hand to block the two girls behind him. Even though the afterglow of divinity was still there, without divinity, the exploding headache he was experiencing at that moment still made him almost unconscious.
And in the illusion that the whole world was about to be filled with blood, the metal coffin opened little by little.
The boy dressed in old-fashioned aristocratic attire, Mr. Armand Bernhardt's "nephew" Lester Bernhardt, was sleeping in the coffin with his eyes closed. The hymn praising the blood and the moon in unison had reached its climax.
The battle over Midhill Castle behind him erupted with endless light and brightness, but at this moment the blood moon over Lake Bena was still so peaceful. The two places were clearly in the same world, but so different.
The blood surged, the hymns rang loudly, the whispered prayers finally turned into deafening shouts at this moment. In the open coffin, the boy's eyelashes trembled, and then he opened his eyes.
Time stopped at this moment, fate and years solidified at this moment. Xia De couldn't describe his feelings at this moment. Even if he closed his eyes that shed blood and tears, he could still "see" that the boy opened his eyes, and the blood coffin turned into red light and covered Him with clothes.
In that ray of light, the boy walked towards the shore in the void, and the nine relics merged into his body. With every step the boy took, his body grew larger, until—
When He finally stood on the surface of the Blood Lake and looked at Shade on the lakeside from afar, that familiar figure, that sacred body, that magnificent power, that indescribable appearance...
The blood-sucking god - the blood-sucking Duke Laoel the Saint has arrived.
