After nightfall, the Randall River Valley became gloomier than any night in the Sixth Era. The gray snow that lasted all day turned into heavy snow after the sun set. This was also the worst time in Randall since meteorological records began.
The largest snowfall in the Er River Valley occurs during the Windy Moon.
Luvia, Miss Lassus and the three witch apprentices stayed at the opera house, while the other witches set off with their own men.
Shade first bid farewell to Miss Aurora, Miss Carina and Miss Bernice in the backyard of the Opera House, while Miss Sylvia and Shade were on the same road.
Luvia, who was wearing a cold robe, kissed him goodbye, then led the horse and waited for him to come.
Even if you have the ability to teleport through space, if you don’t have the corresponding coordinates or power to determine the anchor point, it’s best not to open the teleportation door casually when going to an unfamiliar place:
"let's go."
The sun seems to have set too early today. It was completely dark at six o'clock when we set off. But tonight there is no moon or stars. Time is running out, and the gas street lamps are not shining brightly. In the windy and snowy Randall Valley, only
There is still light in each window.
This once again reminded Shade of Eternal Night City, except that it was raining lightly.
The Randall River Valley at night is more lively than during the day. Because the Guardian received news of an imminent local earthquake in advance, the city hall planned several earthquake shelters in the city to provide those whose homes may
Unsettled citizens took refuge.
When Shade and Miss Sylvia rode through the city at night, they could already see groups of people holding oil lamps and torches walking towards the shelter in the snow under the guidance of the police.
A scene of a square or a wide street surrounded only by low buildings.
No one noticed them at all. People could only try their best to take care of themselves and their families tonight. The chaotic city was already prepared for a catastrophe. This night will probably become the collective memory of an entire generation in the future.
Before leaving the city, another small earthquake occurred in the city in the rain. Shade and Miss Sylvia tried their best to control the frightened horses. When they were about to turn right out of the city at the intersection, Sylvia raised her hand to say wait a moment, and then looked towards
North location:
"There's some movement, let's go take a look."
The two men temporarily deviated from their correct position. After riding through the alley covered with thick snow, they immediately heard sharp screams and noises.
Flames shot into the sky, and in the yard of the burning "Randall Valley Evening News" newspaper office, a huge black shadow waved its arms, and two men and a woman who were running for their lives rushed out of the yard.
"The fallen elemental giant actually appeared in the city."
Shade and Miss Sylvia, who were wearing hoods, dismounted, and the firelight could not illuminate their faces under the hoods. The witch reached out and took out a bottle of "mud potion" from the saddle bag, and used it with a leather glove.
The hand was passed to Shade.
At this time, from the other side of the street, the sound of horse hooves came again. Three people on horseback passed by the screaming crowd watching the fire and stopped outside the yard. They were three ring warlocks, one with seven rings and one with five rings.
Ring, a person with three rings.
"Peace Church."
The leading man introduced that the three of them were wearing uniform clothes and had the emblem of the Holy Dove hanging on their chests. They had obviously heard the noise and came to deal with it.
"Witches' Council."
Miss Sylvia introduced in a deep voice.
This time, the Witch Council accepted the employment of the Five Gods Church, similar to the Apna Library and Spiritual Cult that helped before. Therefore, although it is not convenient to show the true appearance, there is no need to worry about the identity:
"It's not even midnight yet. Something like this happened in the city. Let's deal with it."
The witch said, so Shade took out the test tube, dipped his finger in the liquid and put it on the tip of his tongue, then walked a few steps quickly into the courtyard. After the huge elemental spirit noticed him, the two charged towards the center of the courtyard surrounded by the fire.
But at the moment before contact was about to come into contact, Shade's black-robed figure disappeared, then appeared high in the sky and landed on the back of the elemental giant.
“Fossils to mud!”
Using the spell, the right hand holding the "Mud Potion" was directly pierced into the inside of the stone body, and then the right hand crushed the glass bottle inside the elemental creature.
Firmly fixing his body on the enemy's back, Shade counted down the cooldown time of the thaumaturgy in his mind, and then kicked hard to let his body leave the back of the elemental spirit, facing the latter towards the dark night sky.
While wailing and disintegrating, his body turned in the air, and then disappeared again, appearing at the door of the yard.
Shade didn't say a word the whole time, otherwise it would be very strange for the Witch Council members to appear with men.
Miss Sylvia asked Shade to wait where he was. She and the three people from the Peace Church entered the yard to check, and soon came back and set off again with Shade.
"It appeared after the small earthquake just now."
The witch was riding a horse, but her voice reached Shade's ears very clearly:
"A huge crater was found on the ground. The ring warlock from the Peace Church brought the soil analysis equipment made by the Sun Church to determine the time when the monster appeared."
"Is this the first elemental djinn that we heard about appearing in the city?"
Shade asked.
"Yes, and the night has just begun."
After leaving the city, the temperature dropped sharply, and the road became even more difficult to walk. Even if the horses that Siris selected for the two of them were the best horses, it was still difficult to run in such wind and snow.
Fortunately, this situation has been anticipated, and the power of the special shoes and reins was activated, allowing two ordinary horses to run directly on the snow.
Oxenfurt Manor is far away from the city, and it still takes a long distance to reach the target location after leaving the city. On the way, when passing through the farmland belonging to the rural village "Micott Village", the ground trembled again.
Interrupting the horse's footsteps.
The country roads at night were completely dark. Shade did not emit [Source of Chaos] illumination, but was illuminated by two light groups summoned by Miss Sylvia:
"This is not an earthquake, something big is coming out!"
The witch shouted to Shade in the snow. She pointed her fingers wearing leather gloves and sleeves towards the farmland on the east side. Then the two light balls rotated and dragged out their light tails and flew over. Then they were directly hit by the giant snake head that came out of the darkness.
Swallowed it.
The smell of putridity rose into the sky. It was like the smell of corpses that had been dug up after being buried for the entire rainy season, or like the smell of dry latrines in the countryside that had not been cleaned all year round.
"what?"
"The fossils of giant snakes, there are too many things buried in the soil in this area."
Miss Sylvia jumped off the horse, made a triangle gesture in her hand, waved it in front of the two horses to comfort her, and then said to Shade:
"Help me attract its attention. This thing is not strong. Let's take care of it and get on our way."
"Okay, this place is too close to the village and we really can't let it exist."
Shade also turned over and dismounted, and after squinting slightly, he saw the whole enemy. It was a giant three-headed snake, and the one in the middle of the three heads that just bit off the ball of light was the one in the middle.
A deep pit appeared in the snowy farmland, and it probably ran out of there. In addition to traces of scales, the stone snake also had densely opened eyes, and the three snake heads clearly had different powers.
"The ancient Karak Serpent has the blood of both dragons and demons. It is a monster that only appeared in the dark and turbulent years of the Fourth Age. But this thing is almost invisible in the middle of the Fifth Age, and this one did not know what it was like during its lifetime.
In what era?"
The black-haired young witch said, taking out a string of bracelets from the saddle bag and putting them on her hands:
"To deal with this thing, mud potion is useless. Shade, keep it safe and delay it for more than ten seconds so that it doesn't disturb me."
"no problem."
Shade shook his wrist, used the light spell to make his whole body glow, and ran towards the farmland.
The deformed snake noticed Shade almost immediately, and the letter sticking out from its tongue on the left side shot towards Shade's position like an arrow. But after a loud bang, in addition to a large hole on the snow surface
, but there was no sign of Sha De:
"I'm here!"
There was a sound in the air, and the glowing Shade appeared in the snowy night. At the same time as the three-headed snake raised its head, three consecutive rotating light blades were thrown out:
"Moonlight Wheel!"
The light wheels with tracking effects drew dazzling arcs in the night sky. Shade knew very well that the defense of this monster that was "resurrected" from the distortion of the earth must be extraordinary, so the three moonlight wheels did not disperse, but appeared simultaneously.
Attack the neck of the snake head on the far left.
The giant snake was too big to dodge and was hit by three consecutive attacks, but at the same time, the raised snake heads also bit Shade who was in the air waiting for the cooldown time of "Raglai's Jump". But fortunately,
What they bite is just a group of flying red butterflies.
"Leave in five seconds!"
Miss Sylvia's voice came, and the stone snake head on the left side clearly showed signs of shifting to one side under the attack of three consecutive moonlight rings.
"clear!"
The red butterflies gathered on the snake's head on the right to look like Shade. He stood directly on the surface of the stone, and then immediately noticed the feeling at this moment, as if he was standing directly in the black mud:
"These monsters can also spread the curse and pollution of the crazy land."
Holding his hands together, the holy silver sword appeared in his hands, and then stabbed downwards, while the remaining two snake heads also pounced on Shade:
"Get out of the way!"
After Miss Sylvia on the ground finished speaking, she aimed her right hand, which was wearing a luminous bracelet, at the giant snake and pinched it sharply.
For an instant, the traces of falling snowflakes in the sky were distorted. It was as if a dark light spot appeared in the center of the three-headed stone snake, and then the entire snake and the surrounding space were like paper falling into the mouth of a water tank.
Rotate and twist until all the matter in that space condenses to one point, and the abnormal space phenomenon ends.
