Four phantoms flashed and moved towards Shade at the same time. Four identical "ladies of the lake" surrounded him on the water surface in the east, west, south and north directions. The four of them swung their swords at the same time. As the calm lake surface surged with amazing waves, the water wall wrapped with sharp swords surrounded Shade on the water surface.
"The frog's leap!"
The dried frog legs were thrown into the water. Xia De jumped upward with all his strength and jumped into the air before the water walls from four directions closed in.
The water walls were moving at an extremely fast speed, and in an instant they collided with each other under their feet and exploded into water mist.
The spiritual runes on the life ring behind the angel lit up one by one. This time it was a combination of the Enlightened Fool's Chain and Miracle Water.
Chains of pure water shot from all directions of the exploding water curtain toward Shade in the sky. The chains were made of delicate runes, and "she" whispered in Shade's ear, reminding the falling stranger:
Once you are entangled in the chains, even you cannot escape.
"Chains of Sin!"
Black chains that seemed to absorb light shot out from Shade's sleeves, and as he fell, he manipulated them to swing rapidly around his body. The four pure water chains were quite powerful, but they were no match for the black chains that were amplified by "gluttony", "greed" and "laziness".
When Shade fell back to the surface of the water, the chains of sin in the air had strangled four pure water chains. But before Shade could rejoice, he had to swing his sword forward again to block the wooden staff that was swinging down.
Bang!
The mist exploded again, and the power of the Miracle Spirit Rune Angel brought extremely terrifying power to the lady in white robe. When the dragon and the angel, two huge forces collided above the water surface, the moment they intertwined, the feet of the two people who stepped on the water surface actually had depressions downwards. The huge rings behind the two people tilted forward from above at the same time, and with a sharp and piercing sound, the life rings collided with each other, spinning rapidly and splashing dazzling sparks:
"What is going on here?"
At the same time, Xia De heard very fine clicking sounds in his body. He did not feel any cracks in his bones. She gave the answer:
The poet-level relic "Impure Dragon Blood" that you are carrying has cracks on its surface.
"What?"
The sword and the staff came together, and both sides wrestled together. Shade felt that the power of the lady in white robe was still increasing. This was not her limit:
"Can a fourth-ring warlock have such strong power?"
Being suppressed was not the worst thing. The wooden staff in the white-robed lady's hand "came alive" like taking root and sprouting. The Moonlight Greatsword cut a small gap in the wooden staff, and squirming wood sprouts and dense tentacles instantly poured out of the gap. The next second, they actually grew and climbed onto Shade's sword, as if swallowing up the sword and Shade's arm together.
"oh!"
He wanted to retreat with the sword, but the wooden staff had already "stuck" to the Moonlight Greatsword. The lady in front of him did not give Shade a chance to think of a solution, and the water sword in her right hand had already slashed at him.
As a last resort, Shade could only use his left hand to summon the bright yellow Moonlight Greatsword to block, but without the Night Watchman's magical enhancement, coupled with his left hand's lack of proficiency and the fact that Huang Yue's Moonlight Greatsword was not strong to begin with, Shade not only failed to defend successfully, but the sword in his left hand shattered into light fragments.
Seeing that the water sword was about to hit him, with a tingling sense of crisis, Shad let go of the night watchman, took a step back, and then appeared on the lake 20 meters away.
By taking a step back to avoid the pre-casting swing (note), the throwing action is very coherent:
“Thunder gun!”
The silver-white lightning spear exploded, piercing through the mist and thrown towards the lady in white robe, but the latter simply waved the water sword in her hand, and the lightning was drowned by the huge waves. The huge golden life ring was spinning at a faster speed at this moment, as if it was swallowing the surrounding water vapor.
At this time, the moonlight sword that was "stuck" by the long staff shattered, revealing the silver sword inside. The wooden staff of the white-robed lady did not swallow the night watchman, but instead made him fall into the lake. Shade temporarily lost this weapon.
“That’s amazing.”
Xia De sighed in his heart, drew a cross of light in front of him with his left and right hands, and then rushed forward sideways. The lady in white robe raised her staff and summoned a water wall again. After Yin Yue's slash broke through the water wall, she blocked it with the water sword in her hand.
It seems that the power of the "Silver Moon Slash" that Xia De used with all his strength was stronger than the "Thunder Spear", but the latter had a larger attack range. However, he still couldn't cause any damage to the opponent.
You have done well. She is an ancient angel, and you are a foreigner who has only been exposed to the occult for half a year. You don't have to expect a better situation.
As Shad used "Ragra's Jump" to dodge again, "she" whispered in Shad's ear.
"But that's not enough. What I have to do is beat her, or at least last five minutes."
Several small streams of water tried to entangle Shad's feet. Shad imitated the technique demonstrated by Mr. Bernhardt and kicked out an arc-shaped light blade with his right foot to cut off the water tentacles, but was entangled by the lady in white robe again.
Without the Night's Watch, Shad can still use the Moonlight Greatsword to fight the enemy, but swinging the sword to fight the angel seems increasingly disadvantageous.
In fact, Shade was not good at dealing with targets like the "Lady of the Lake". His many magics and relics, such as the "Sunlight Ray" restrained the undead, the "Higgs Dragon Head Stone" was the enemy of the dragon, and the "Night Watcher" and his own moonlight were the nemesis of evil and darkness. And against normal "holy" and "good" objects, these methods were quite limited.
You still have my power.
"She" said softly. The intense battle caused large amounts of mist to rise. The feeling of water droplets sliding down his neck made Xia De mistakenly believe that someone was really touching his neck.
Shade couldn't be distracted at all at this moment. The lady in white robe had indeed suppressed her power to the same level as his, but Shade always felt that fighting with her on the surface of the Lake of Cherubim was like fighting with the owner of the maze or the word of sublimation in the maze or the word of sublimation.
"The little match girl!"
Thinking of this, snowflakes fell from the sky, and the shadow of a silver moon appeared above Shade's head, but it only calmed the surging waves for a while. The power of the maze can indeed affect the White Lady's control over the Lake of Cherubim, but it is far from enough.
At this time, the battle became fierce, and Xia De's spirit was rapidly consumed. He had to find a way to change the situation.
"What power do you have that can help me? Can you interfere with reality?"
Xia De asked in his heart, "She" seemed to know what Xia De was thinking, and her gentle smile made Xia De a little embarrassed:
You know how I can help you.
The moonlight sword in his right hand shattered again, and the silver light was submerged in the huge waves. This huge wave was created by Shade, who jumped into the sky in the water curtain. Before the lady in white flapped her wings to leave the water and catch up, Shade moved to a height of 20 meters in the air.
As he fell, he confirmed in his mind:
"Help me calibrate the direction. We only have one chance. If we fail this time, I will really be left without a weapon."
Yes, only one chance.
"Okay! Then let me see the power of knowledge!"
As he fell to the water, he bent over with the inertia of falling, and stabbed the water in front of him with both hands at the same time. Without time to get up, he rolled to the left on the water surface, avoiding the water arrows falling from the sky, but at this time, Xia De already had an extra weapon in his hand.
A bow, a water bow made entirely of the strange lake water beneath his feet, has appeared in Shade's hand. Using the spell of "controlling water flow", Shade made the liquid beneath his feet into the shape of a bow. Although it cannot be compared with the water sword in the hands of the lady in white robe, all Shade needs is a mysterious bow.
The Blade of Time Disorder can only be used by attaching it to a sword with extraordinary power, and the Arrow of Knowledge of Ikenora can only be fired by a bow or crossbow with extraordinary power. Although the arrow is in Professor Drake's hand, Shad did not find the bow from decades ago. Fortunately, the action of the "Lady of the Lake" taking the sword from the water reminded him that the water under his feet happened to be not ordinary water.
When Shad stood up, the wooden box fell into the water, and the golden arrow appeared in his left hand.
The bow is drawn and the arrow is drawn, the golden arrowhead and bronze lines reflect the bright luster in the afternoon sun.
The arrow in the mist pointed to the angel in the sky, and the mist was hovering in the low sky like a tentacle.
Above the mist, the lady with white wings held a staff in one hand and a sword in the other, her whole body emitting a soft light. She had her back to the sun, which was located in the center of the huge golden wheel. The light from the three core spirit runes shone on the mortals on the water.
Xia De held his breath and concentrated his mind, guiding his own strength to control the strange water in his hand:
"Help me aim."
Now relax your muscles and move to the left...
"Her" gentle voice quickly assisted Shad in calibrating the strength and direction of the arrow. As the bowstring of the water bow was pulled, the golden arrowhead of Aikenola's Arrow of Knowledge flashed dazzlingly in the sunlight that passed through the Heavenly Mission Ring.
The stranger's hometown knowledge, the secrets that Shad Hamilton explored in this world, and the determination to win at this moment, urged Shad to pull the bowstring to the maximum.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still. The holy angel held a sword in one hand and a staff in the other, opened his arms, and an indescribable force rose from the water, trying to stop Shad's actions.
At the same time, an ancient dark golden light bloomed in the burst of golden light, and the power that emerged from Shad's knowledge illuminated him instead.
Dense transparent characters flowed out from Shade's hands, entwining the arrow and bow, and in the silent dark golden light, he seemed to suddenly jump up in height, and the burst of physical strength caused tears to appear in his clothes.
He was breathing, breathing deeply, and with every breath he could feel a stronger force surging between the bow and arrow in his hands. Dense characters flowed in the water, in the arrow, in Shade's skin and eyes. Although he was not facing the gods at this moment, the palm holding the arrow had cracks in the burst of light, and the cracks climbed up his arms and spread all over his body in an instant.
The steam and mist were illuminated by the golden cracks, and at this moment, Shade was like a burning golden ember.
The power of the divine afterglow was manifested for the first time without Shade coming into contact with the gods.
