The big book floating on the edge of the lake was about to turn to the last page. The white mist drifting from the island in the middle of the lake could not cover its light. The bright silver-white light was so dazzling that it became stronger during the short conversation between the three people.
Silvery white dots of light danced around the book, and streams of light containing dense information flowed between different pages. Judging from its appearance alone, this relic was more beautiful than most relics Shade had seen, and judging from the fluctuations of the whispering element, Shade even thought that this relic was very likely to be angel-level (level 1).
"You can trust my words, because what I know is also known to the Apuna Library. They are on good terms with the True God Church. Although they exchanged information with us for selfish reasons this time, they will definitely inform the church of these things later."
Miss Pavo continued, her eyes studying Shad, knowing that this man was the one in control.
"We are not from the Church of the Five Gods."
"So which side do you belong to?"
As she spoke, she looked at her book. The book finally turned to the last page and slowly fell down. Ms. Pavo took the huge book with a silver cover and smiled:
"Well, although I haven't figured out the final result, my work is done. Well, see you next time, I still have to hurry to the island in the middle of the lake."
"Do you think you can get away?"
Shade asked, and Miss Pav shook her head and held up three fingers:
“3.”
There was a sound coming from the bushes behind me.
“2.”
Xia De's ears could make out that a person was walking towards here quickly.
“1.”
A thin, eyebrowless man in a brown robe walked out of the bushes, holding a brass box covered with waterweed in his hands. He was a low-level warlock. Whispering elements spread from the brass box to the surroundings, and with his arrival, even the fog in the area on the shore dissipated.
This looked very strange, just like a semicircular bowl was placed around him. The box itself was not "quiet" either, with several dark arcs constantly jumping on the surface of the box. Faintly, Xia De heard the sound of roaring.
He stood in front of Tifa and the cat calmly, raised his eyebrows, and tried his best to control his expression. The man holding the box was Karl Leipzig, a cultist who believed in the evil god Fury Storm and met in Huntington City. The relic in his hand was the furious punishment that Shade had been thinking about.
"If I fail to obtain divinity tonight, please remind me to stay up one hour later every day for the next month to practice thaumaturgy."
OK
"Look, how could I come here to complete such a high-risk mission without a companion? Although the professors have already landed on the island and blocked the church's team, I still have this person by my side. Of course, if I had anticipated that I would be intercepted by you, I should have brought more people. This kind of low-probability event is really annoying."
Miss Pavo said to the taciturn man:
"I'll leave first. Mr. Leipzig, you take care of these two. Don't linger in a fight. Ring sorcerers who appear in places they shouldn't be usually have something strange about them. The high-ring sorcerers of the church should appear within five minutes. If you can't guarantee a one-shot kill, don't stay here for too long."
"Yes, ma'am."
The cultist said softly, then walked towards Shade.
Tifa walked out from behind Shad, and before Shad could speak, she handed the cat back to Shad:
"Ma'am, do you really think you can leave?"
Steam mist appeared behind Tifa, followed by the hot and spinning life ring of a six-ring warlock. Seeing that Tifa was a middle-ring warlock, the cultist holding the holy relic immediately avoided her:
"Ms. Pavo, although I am employed by you, according to the agreement, I am not responsible for fighting against such an opponent."
Ms. Pavo stopped her steps as she was about to enter the lake, and turned to look at Tifa while holding the book:
"Six rings?"
Then he opened his big book and took a look:
"My winning rate is only 59 percent?"
"I think your chances of winning are one in a hundred."
Tifa said seriously that whether it was to help Shade or Miss Carina, she had to keep this woman at this moment.
"Numbers don't lie. If you want to challenge the odds, ma'am, then follow me!"
Miss Paavo suddenly jumped back and entered the thick fog on the lake. Tifa was not in a hurry. She stepped on the water with her high heels, and the life ring behind her shone in all directions, and she also entered the water area.
The two ladies quickly disappeared from the sight of Shade and the cultist Mr. Leipzig. In fact, Tifa was at a disadvantage. Miss Pavo came to Lakeview Manor fully prepared, but when Tifa came to the garden at Shade's invitation, she didn't know that there would be such a battle afterwards.
But Shade had great confidence in the black-haired maid, and he couldn't be distracted at the moment because the cultists were looking at him vigilantly.
Xia De shook his head slightly:
"You don't have to be too nervous. I'm just a low-level warlock. Compared to the two ladies, I'm obviously not that strong."
As he spoke, he stepped across the thin mist and appeared next to the cultist holding the brass box. He swung the moonlight sword in his hand, but it was blocked by the raised box with a clang.
Silver moonlight and dark lightning splashed everywhere. The brass box seemed to flash when it was touched by the moonlight sword. The blasphemous element representing the power of the evil god hit Shad who was approaching, but he didn't care about it.
Although he was in a state without divinity, after being washed by three drops of divinity and possessing the Primordial Fire, Xia De was completely unaffected by the mental shock caused by the leakage of divinity power. In fact, the slight leakage of divinity made him even more excited.
Although the moonlight sword that swept through the night failed to successfully hurt the enemy, the power brought by Shad's strong physical fitness almost made Karl Leipzig, who had no eyebrows, almost let go of the box in his hand.
After blocking Shade's sudden attack, the cultist retreated into the water with the momentum of the giant sword. The cultist from the coastal area also had the power to walk on the water like Shade, and in the blink of an eye, only Mo Hu's figure was left in the white fog:
"Do you think you can get away?"
Xia De didn't want to involve Xiaomia in the battle, so he temporarily put the cat that looked like a dog on the shore and caught up with the other party on the water. Although he started a few seconds later than the other party, it only took three or two steps for Xia De to catch up with the other party in the white mist on the water:
"Moonlight Slash."
He clapped his hands together and then suddenly pulled them apart, and a brilliant arc of light flew across the water under the moon. The cultist instinctively sensed the danger, and hurriedly stopped and turned around to block it with the box in his hand. With a crisp sound, the arc of light from the silver moon once again collided with the furious divine punishment of the angel-level relic, and scattered into large pieces of light on the lake.
But this attack was not without effect. The huge impact force knocked the cultist who used the relic as a "shield" to the water. When he tried to get up by holding the water surface, Xia De, who had already passed ten seconds, took another step and appeared in front of him:
"Moonlight Greatsword!"
He must not let the other party escape again this time, so he attacked without any hesitation.
The life ring of the three-ring warlock appeared in the thick fog, and the storm spirit rune flashed with spiritual light. The half-kneeling cultist held up the furious divine punishment in his left hand, and the air in his right hand was distorted. As a ray of dark lightning from the brass metal box rushed into his body, he held his right hand in the air and swung an invisible sword towards the sky:
"Storm Sword!"
Kacha!
When the two swords collided, lightning flew everywhere, as if the air itself exploded, and Shade and Karl Leipzig were flung in two directions at the same time.
Xia De felt the sword in his hand touch the wind in the air, and then the lightning shot into his arm, half of his body was paralyzed instantly, and he stumbled back several steps before stopping. But the cultist was not feeling well either. Although the light mark of the moonlight sword was slightly offset, he still felt as if the bones in his right arm were broken.
Moreover, even though he caught the sword with the help of the power of the holy object, the bright silver moonlight still had an impact on his body. He could clearly feel that the power of the moonlight was restraining the power of the holy object.
"As expected, you are only at a low level, but you are still hired by the Truth Society. The power you can exert with the help of the relic is definitely very strong."
The paralysis of half of Xia De's body soon returned to normal. Leipzig, who had stood up in the thick fog on the water, heard his completely normal voice and looked over in surprise:
"You recovered so quickly?"
"I was struck by lightning some time ago, and then I found that my resistance to lightning has increased."
As Shade spoke, he suddenly pulled the chain in his hand. When he came to the cultist through the "Ragray Leap" just now, the Sin Chain had already fallen into the water. While the cultist avoided the Moonlight Greatsword, the chain under the water had already passed through the water and reached the opponent's feet.
At this time, the live rope trick manipulated the chain, which shot out from underwater like a long snake and wrapped around the right leg of the eyebrowless man:
"What?"
For a ring sorcerer of a lower level than Shade, the effect of the chain of sin in blocking his mobility was quite significant. Karl Leipzig immediately stood up stiffly and stopped on the water. The three runes of "gluttony", "greed" and "laziness" on the chain flashed with a faint light, gradually wrapping around his body from his right leg upwards, until it climbed towards his life ring.
As the pitch-black chain touched the life ring, the spiritual runes that were originally flashing with spiritual light gradually became dim, and the life ring itself stopped rotating.
Xia De didn't waste any words with him, and quickly stepped forward, stretched out his left hand without the sword, and tried to take away the box he was holding. But when his left hand was about three inches away from the box covered with water plants, the lid of the box automatically opened a gap.
