Squeak~
On the tranquil surface of the water, the sound of the box lid opening was unusually clear. Then, a dark lightning bolt shot out from the gap. Amid the loud crackling sound, Xia De, who was originally standing on the water, was blasted dozens of meters away by the thunderbolt and rolled several times on the water before stopping.
"Meow~"
The cat on the shore looked at Shade worriedly, as if the thick fog could not block its sight at all.
"Oh, this is really exciting!"
The moonlight sword in his hand had already dissipated, and the sleeve of his left shirt was almost completely torn. Shade stood up trembling. The dark arc jumped on the surface of his body a few times and soon disappeared. He exhaled a puff of smoke from between his teeth.
The attack just now was just the relic's own resistance, not a full-strength attack. In addition, after being struck by lightning last time, he had a great resistance to this kind of attack. Therefore, although his whole body was paralyzed when he was knocked away, just like before, he is fine now.
"You actually have the ability to resist the power of my Lord!"
Because Shade was knocked away, the chains of sin also disappeared automatically. The cultist who had regained his mobility stood up on the water and asked with a serious face:
"Who are you?"
"Is it important? But if you really want to find the answer, it may be because I have been blessed by the Lord of the Scarlet Spiral."
Xia De spoke the truth, squinting his eyes at the box in the fog. The brass box seemed to be covered with a layer of dim light, and Xia De felt that it was tempting him to get it.
No, this time it's really just your own illusion, it's your greed.
"She" reminded with a chuckle.
"Scarlet Spiral... You are theirs!"
Leipzig was extremely surprised, and Xia De shook his head slightly:
"It doesn't matter. Now that I have met you again, you will definitely not be able to escape this time."
“Do you really know what you’re getting into?”
"Of course I know, a thunderous blow."
Xia De smiled and said:
"Thunder is part of the sun. Although I am afraid of the sun, I am not afraid of thunder. Compared with the real sun, the thunder you hold is nothing but an insect under the sun."
In the mystical element classification of this world, "thunder" is not a basic element on par with other elements, but a manifestation of the power of the sun. Therefore, Yin Luna's "sun gun" is the power that combines scorching light and thunder.
He was deliberately discrediting the other party's beliefs, which was the knowledge Shad learned from Mr. Edmund when he inquired about the Three Evil Gods of Coldwater Harbor.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the followers of the evil god Fury Storm showed an angry expression on their faces. He was really angry:
"Blasphemer!"
He held the box with his left hand and pressed the lid with his right hand, preparing to open the Wrathful God's Punishment. But at this time, Karl Leipzig was not completely overwhelmed by anger. He certainly knew that Shade was deliberately provoking him:
"You know that once this holy relic is used, it will soon attract high-level warlocks from the Orthodox Church."
"So will you give up attacking me because you're concerned about the possible presence of a high-level warlock from the church? By the way, we clearly followed the route the two ladies took just now to the surface of the water, but now we can't hear any sound of their fighting. I think this fog can absorb the sound."
Xia De said, stuffing the last leaf of Eternal Youth into his mouth. Even though he couldn't find any information about the relic's furious divine punishment, he knew very well that this relic couldn't be used twice in a short period of time. As long as he survived the first time, the battle would be over.
The priest of the Storm Church looked at Shade suspiciously, still preparing to open the lid. Seeing that the other party did not make a move, Shade chuckled and summoned the Moonlight Greatsword:
"Silver Moon Slash!"
The blade light cut through the silky smooth water surface, and the cultist waved his right hand forward, and the black electric light collided with the silver moonlight arc. But behind the exploding water, the dark chain broke through the air and attacked again.
The man without eyebrows dodged sideways in a hurry, but he was still shocked. Even though he knew that opening the box would mean falling into the other party's unknown conspiracy, he still prayed to the raging storm and gently opened the metal box lid.
He had to do this. The opponent was immune to the negative effects of the Wrathful God's Punishment. With his three rings of power, it was not enough to defeat the opponent:
"God, please bless me!"
squeak!
He opened the lid of the metal box with his right hand. Brilliant golden light radiated from the box, and at the same time, a soul-shaking force swept across the entire Schluchsee Lake.
"What?"
All the ring warlocks who entered the range of Lake Schluch felt the terrifying power sweeping over them, but due to the existence of white mist in the lake, this strange power fluctuation did not affect Lakeview Manor.
The rippling lake seemed to be frozen in an instant, and the clouds under the brilliant starry sky solidified along with time and space. The oppressive feeling from the sky made Shade stop in his tracks. The thick fog in the lake area where they were located completely dissipated, revealing the starry sky. The dark clouds quickly covered the night sky above Schluchsee, obscuring the starry sky and the three bright moons.
Ripples appeared on the frozen water surface, and in an instant it was as if a storm was coming. A black wind came creeping in, and the shaking water surface was like waves surging on the sea.
In the depths of the long night, a huge shadow stood on the horizon, its illusory outline seemed very real to Shade. The sound of violent waves came from all directions, and the sound of waves mixed with countless intertwined prayers and curses, as if he was really on a stormy sea.
Black clouds completely covered the sky, and jumping black arcs of light flickered inside the clouds. Xia De clearly felt that he was being locked.
“It’s finally here.”
Xia De's face flushed with excitement at this moment.
"If you are willing to surrender and leave, I can give up this attack."
Karl Leipzig on the lake gritted his teeth and said that using this relic was a great burden for him. The rapidly spinning life ring behind him had already faintly cracked because of the dark lightning attached to it. His sixth sense was reminding him that he must not launch this attack, but the current situation forced him to do so.
"Surrender? Oh, sir, I am looking forward to facing the power of thunder! Because this is..."
Xia De looked up at the dark lightning in the clouds, facing the violent thunder brought by the power of the evil god. Fiery red cracks lit up inch by inch along his body. The power of the primordial fire warmed his soul. The flame, which was not violent but could burn everything, supported his soul to face the power of thunder.
"... ... strength!"
Shade threw the frog leg into the lake casually. He was ready to jump into the sky to face the thunder.
"You're crazy!"
"what happens?"
On the island in the middle of Lake Schluch, two disguised witches stood on the edge of the foggy island and looked at the sky. Almost everyone in the thick fog stopped. The heart-wrenching thunder sounded, and no one dared to move at will.
Xia De bent down and prepared to jump, not caring what others thought at this moment. But a voice appeared in her ears, and "she" noticed something unusual:
That thunderbolt isn't just targeting you.
"He can lock onto multiple targets at once. Who else is locked onto? Tifa?"
No, maybe you could turn around and look.
Xia De had originally looked up at the lightning accumulated in the dark clouds, but at this moment he was suddenly startled and turned to look at the lakeside. The firelight in the cracks of his eyes allowed him to clearly see Xiaomia standing there pitifully.
He heard the cultist's laughter, heard his mocking voice:
"I don't know what your confidence is, but since you are confident that you can face the punishment of our Lord, what about the dog you are taking special care of?"
"you... ... "
The black lightning accumulated violent elements and spirits in the clouds. To the manor in the distance, it looked like a cumulonimbus cloud, but to Shade, it could almost turn everything here into scorched earth.
The silly cat seemed to be completely unaware of the impending danger. It still hunched its neck and stared at Shade on the lake with its big eyes, looking even more pitiful under the thunder that was about to fall. The light fell on the orange cat, and in Shade's eyes, there was only Mia who was about to face the thunder punishment.
"rice... ... "
The blinding lightning finally fell at this moment, and the instantaneous light almost blinded all the people who were watching this scene.
This second seemed extremely long to Shade. After seeing the dark thunder of divine punishment bombarding his cat, the panic in that moment and the anger that followed because of the fear of loss made him feel as if time had really stopped at this moment.
Time had to stop, because he was more than ten meters away from the shore and could not use "Ragra's Leap" to block the lightning. Even though the thunder that frightened mortals directly caused lightning to jump on the surface of the lake above Lake Schluch, causing everyone in the southern part of Tobysk to subconsciously feel an inexplicable sense of panic, Shade still realized at this moment -
Time must stop, otherwise he will never be able to intercept the lightning of divine punishment.
Thunder struck, the clouds rolled, and a rumbling sound was heard after the lightning flashed. After the lightning struck, everyone breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and then realized that they had been holding their breath for a full half minute.
