After the bathroom door was opened, there was the familiar white mist behind the door. Shade stretched out his hand to touch the white mist——
[Outsiders, please note. A message from the "Father of the Infinite Tree": You are allowed to carry an additional relic this time. 】
"It's still [the perfume bottle of desire]."
He temporarily put all the other belongings on the floor, but "she" asked at this time:
【Are you sure you want to use this key now?】
"Yes, I can't sit at the table and consume my energy all the time. This is considered a warm-up before the war."
【Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time".】
[Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[The past life, the sixth era, the old continent, the city of the end, Tobesk.]
[Event: Tobesk, the Last Era.]
[The duration is arbitrary (5/∞).]
【You have obtained additional information.】
【You have stepped into a history that does not exist.】
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree is watching you.]
[Note that during this exploration, you cannot leave the area of Saint Teresa Square. 】
[Note, you are allowed to bring any casting materials into this period of time. 】
[Note that you can return to the "now" time by defeating any powerful enemy with the Time Key. 】
Stepping into the white mist, Shade returned to his dilapidated home again.
With the pressure of facing a possibly unwinnable battle between gods, the bad effects of the doomsday environment seemed to be weakened, but Shade's mood did not get better.
The location where he appeared was still Room 1 on the second floor of his home. He sat on the sofa and covered his forehead for a while. Then he stood up and summoned the Staff of Yggdrasil, using it as a crutch.
Take the creaking stairs covered with black stains and mildew to the first floor.
Crunch~
After struggling to push open the door that was stuck in the severely deformed door frame, the strong wind brought sand and gravel and hit Shade directly on the face.
Don't worry about the slight pain at all. After walking sideways through the crack in the door, you raised your head and squinted your eyes to see the sun with fiery red lines flowing downwards from the yellow sand in the sky.
I don’t know if it is because he has been exposed to too many special lights recently, but Shade’s perception of light has also been greatly enhanced. The light in Moon Bay and the Golden Sand Sea is violent and aggressive, but at this moment, the light is only decay and nothingness:
"The light here is going to die too."
He walked down the half-missed steps at the door with a long stick, and after taking out the silver pocket watch from his pocket, a palm-wide string of white runes with a floral body appeared on the ground under his feet. The wind blew away the gravel, and let
Shade could clearly see the meaning of the runes. He clasped the pocket watch with his left hand, but did not immediately read the meaning of the runes.
【You are hesitating.】
"Yes. It's wrong to try to seduce a girl to fall in love with me for some purpose."
"Her" gentle laughter is still clear even in the wind and sand at this moment:
[Perhaps you can convince yourself this way: everything is for justice.]
"But this is not my justice."
He lowered his head and stared at the runes at his feet, and after a moment he said softly:
"Adele Isabella."
After taking two steps back, in the soft white light radiating upward from the runes, the great witch slowly stood up with her skirt in hand, gradually turning from a phantom into a real entity.
The long dress on the blonde witch was no longer the same one as last time, but it was also provided by Sha De. She raised her head and looked at Sha De, and the tear marks at the corners of her eyes became more and more charming because of her smile.
Adele Isabella endured the joy of being reunited with Shade again, and smiled tenderly at Shade:
"We meet again, how are you doing recently?"
She herself was only a girl in her twenties, but she could tell at a glance that Xia De was deeply worried at this time:
"Have you encountered something difficult? It doesn't matter. It's normal that you can't learn the principle of regression for the time being."
She thought that Xia De was worried about his studies, but Xia De still shook his head:
"I have mastered the principle of regression and cannot show it here. Only the relic sword can allow me to use that move. What I am worried about now are other things."
"Mastered?"
The witch's face showed a slightly surprised expression, but then she asked with some pity:
"Have you been having a hard time lately? If you don't face enemies one after another, you won't be able to learn this trick."
She did not suspect that Shade was lying:
"So what's bothering you? Can I help?"
"I am facing a battle that I may not win at all. Let's solve this mission first, Miss Isabella. After this mission is over, I want to talk to you in detail."
The blond lady nodded slightly and wanted to retreat to the wall, but after a moment of hesitation, she opened her arms and hugged Shade:
"The only meaning of my existence now is to help you. So don't worry, I will listen to all your worries, Shade, I am always here."
After saying that, he retreated to the wall and smiled at Shade. Shade showed a slightly surprised expression, but he quickly nodded to her and walked towards Saint Teresa Square, which was half buried by the yellow sand, carrying a long stick.
.
For a moment, Adele Isabella felt that she was seeing a martyr who was about to reach his end.
Lifting up his shoes, the footprints were left on the fine wind-blown quicksand. The black coat was thrown off and covered the footprints behind him.
Because he came with the mood of the prelude to the battle between gods, Shade's expression was particularly serious this time.
And as he moved forward, a high-pitched and distant female voice came from the sky. The voice sounded like a soprano from an opera troupe practicing her voice, or like a prelude to some kind of deep hymn.
But there were no enemies in front of or around him.
【On top.】
"She" said softly, and Shade looked up.
Under the dim sky, an extremely huge pure white luminous figure gradually appeared.
The figure's body is extremely slender, with three pairs of huge white light wings spread out on its sides. The spread of the light wings on the left and right sides even exceeds its body length, and this evil thing should be at the lower ends of its feet.
But it is a slender tail.
It looks a bit like a dragonfly, but more like a humanoid angel. In addition to the six wings, countless pure white light spots around the body are densely scattered under the sky.
"This time, is it an evil thing that appears due to the disaster of 'light'?"
The location of the "angel" was extremely high, so Shade couldn't see clearly which of his acquaintances its face belonged to, and he could only roughly estimate that its size was about half the size of St. Teresa's Square.
And it is not completely still. When it slowly "squirms" and flies until it just blocks the black sun with its own light, the two short hands that are almost fused with the pair of wings in the middle point downwards.
Shad.
Ang~
Following another chirp, hundreds of beams of light emitted from hundreds of densely packed light points swept across the entire square from left to right.
In the stirred up yellow sand, a golden shield protected Shade, who was unable to leave the square, but those light beams only swept across once and disappeared without even touching the houses around the square.
The wings of the "angel" continued to flap, and the pure white light whip was thrown out by its right hand. Shade showed no intention of dodging, holding the long staff with his left hand, and also threw out the "Chain of Sin" with his right hand.
The dark chains exuded a faint light in the wind and sand, and the light whip turned out to be real. After the two came into contact, they were tightly bound together, and then the light that was enough to melt all things slowly slowly melted the sin chains one by one.
The rune chain is also dyed with light:
"What?"
Ang~
After another cry, the angel held up a ball of light in his left hand and threw it to a higher place. Then the ball of light burst out like the sun, illuminating the entire Yuewan City with a more intense special light than it does today.
Piece of Saint Teresa Square.
Miss Isabella, who has experienced a complete apocalypse, waved her hand and cast out a black curtain to block the light. This is something that no one in the "Sixth Age" can do, not even Shade.
She looked worriedly at Shade in the center of the square, and Shade was indeed unable to use darkness because he could not carry [Disaster Card: Shadow of the Deep Sea].
The witch wanted to help, but the next moment in the light, the dragon's roar that she had not heard for a long time exploded in the strong wind——
Roar!
The white light in the sky converged in one place. Most of his clothes were melted, his hair almost disappeared, and even his skin was glowing. Shade retracted his chain, and then threw a thunder gun into the sky.
The thunder gun was scattered by the "angel" waving a long whip, and the staff of Yggdrasil held high at the moment gathered light due to the magic of the dragon's roar, and then turned into a pure white sword. The sword was longer than the staff.
Much shorter.
[Outlander, do not continue to directly contact these lights, otherwise you will also turn into light.]
"She" reminded softly in his ears, Shade danced the big sword in his hand and struck the whip again. Because the sword and the whip had the same light properties, there was no abnormality in [Yuktrashil's Staff] this time.
, but Shade was almost pushed to the edge of the square by the huge force:
"Miss Isabella, I need your help this time!"
He stated his request:
"This thing can fly. I can't deal with it myself. Please help me."
Faced with something he really can't defeat, Shade never hesitates to ask for help. Moreover, since the tree father allows Miss Isabella to appear here, she is actually part of Shade's power.
"OK."
Looking at Shade's half-melted body with some worry, the blond witch with the tear mark took Shade's hand and flew directly into the sky, avoiding the second sweep of hundreds of rays of light that followed.
.
The Saint Teresa Square below was already riddled with holes, and the shouts in the air continued. The light tracked the two people in the air, but Miss Isabella nimbly avoided them all.
She led Shade quickly up to the "angel", and did not forget to remind Shade:
"This thing is one of the most troublesome evil things in the doomsday era. Don't expect any power related to light to be able to kill it. No matter how pure your moonlight is, it won't work. You need darkness. Have you mastered the power of [night]?"
