With the power of his hands being fixed, Shade twisted his waist and kicked his legs forward. At the same time, he desperately recalled the last time when his divinity was overflowing, and he used [Moonlight Slash] to smash the giant mermaid corpse.
It is not that he has not studied improving and changing his own thaumaturgy, but whether it is [Moonlight Slash] or [Moonlight Great Sword], they require a higher Ring Warlock level and more spiritual runes in order to be completely and further sublimated.
But when the divinity overflows, Shade realizes the power beyond the thirteen rings, and also realizes how he can still use the power. At this time, facing the oppression of darkness, he suddenly remembered that Miss Aurora was in the [Witch Council] not long ago.
, using his fingers to write shining words in the air, and then he remembered his actions when he had a flash of inspiration at the end of the decisive battle at Coldwater Harbor.
Behind him, the core spirit rune of [Silver Moon] flashed suddenly.
The silver light around the body expanded violently. His right foot was above the devil's face, kicking out a line of moonlight that sloped from the lower left to the upper right. Then his left foot was placed above the devil's face, drawing a line of moonlight from the upper left to the lower right.
The two rays of light formed a cross pattern, but they did not fly out immediately like the previous [Moonlight Slash], but instead solidified in the air.
"Hey!"
Shade curled up with his legs together, and then kicked his feet forward violently in a suspended position.
Two kicks hit the moonlight cross floating in the air, and then the cross moonlight cut into the devil's vertical pupils with the power of both feet.
The cross moonlight was brighter than ever before, and the gorgeous light also gave the devil a sense of crisis. As a last resort, it let go of Shade's right hand with its left hand, and quickly raised its left arm in front of its face in defense.
The Moonlight Cross kicked out by Shade's feet, after contacting the demon's thick black right arm, first easily destroyed the sleeve of the robe, and then collided with the black energy seeping from the demon's skin. The black energy melted and cut the skin, and in the last step
Before the ray of moonlight disappeared, the demon's left arm was almost split into four.
"Ah~"
Amidst the crazy and terrifying roar, the demon lifted Shade and wanted to throw him to the ground. But Shade had already dropped the dried frog legs, and used his left hand grasped by the demon to swing hard, and his body turned around.
At the same time, his right hand pulled out the moonlight sword from the air and stabbed the opponent's right arm.
Because the demon's left arm was seriously injured, he could only let go of Shade with his right hand to resist the moonlight sword. Shade also took this opportunity to lightly kick the demon's arm with his feet, and then reacted with his own force to the demon's arm.
Jump back.
After rotating 360 degrees in the air, he landed smoothly on the ground and successfully distanced himself from the opponent.
The vertical-eyed demon in black robes did not attack again out of rage. The surrounding darkness converged on its severely injured left arm, and the arm flowing with black blood was recovering quickly. It seemed that in this dark realm, these people were composed of
Demons derived from relics are nearly immortal.
"That kick just now is indeed worthy of praise, but you still can't defeat me."
The blasphemous language is indeed true. Although Shade has made changes to the thaumaturgy [Silver Moon Slash], exchanging a few extra seconds of preparation time for a substantial increase in power, he still wants to rely on this to defeat the one in front of him.
This terrifying thing is probably still impossible. The opponent is almost suppressing him and fighting. Shade doesn't think there is any possibility of defeating the devil:
"Yes, so wait for me for three seconds. I will fight you again after three seconds."
Shade said seriously, while the demon was absorbing the darkness to heal himself, he had also rummaged through his pocket to find the time key of Fifth Epoch 1784:
"May the World Tree protect me in infinite time."
He spoke quickly, holding the key in his right hand and inserting it into the pendant held by his left hand.
There was a click sound, the keyhole turned, the door leaf of the door-shaped pendant was pulled open with the key, and white mist floated out from behind the model door frame like silk.
The black demon picked up the black fire human bones on the ground and threw them at Shade, but Shade had already put his finger into the door frame:
"See you in three seconds."
The relics he carried fell to the ground together with the door pendant. The black fire human bones passed through Shade's disappearing shadow and were inserted diagonally behind where he originally stood.
【Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time".】
[Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Winter of 1784 in the Fifth Age, Northern Continent, Dreadfortress.]
[Event: Gambling - Game of Life.]
【Duration twenty minutes (3/3).】
【You have obtained additional information.】
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree continues to watch you.]
[The ancient god of time gives you a test.]
【Helping mortals win the "gambling game of life".】
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you rewards: Thaumaturgy - Breath of Time, a piece of true information - Dark Dungeon. 】
"This is terrible. Without the [Box of Darkness], I can't experience the darkness even if I face fear."
Shade, standing in the white mist, thought with some trouble.
Among the shortcuts provided by Miss Aurora to obtain [Light] spirit runes, you need to stimulate yourself with relics with [Dark] power. Although Shade is now in the [Dark Realm], due to the protection of the magical power of Priest August
, he did not feel the oppression of the dark force on himself at all, but his vision was seriously affected.
Therefore, if this key is used without the [Dark Box] around, even if fear stimulates the formation of spiritual runes, it is impossible for Shade to directly obtain the spiritual runes.
He took a step forward in the white mist and entered the ancient corridor in the Dreadfort. Before the surrounding light began to waver and he felt like he was being watched behind him, Shade ran forward:
"But before completing this mission, I still have to go out and see what is chasing me."
Because this time he started running away almost immediately after appearing, so when he saw the door engraved with the symbol of flipping coins, the gaze behind him that directly aroused the most primitive fear was still a long way away from him.
Shade turned sideways and slammed into the metal door. After entering, he immediately turned around and closed the door firmly.
Then he leaned against the door and started breathing heavily. Mr. Riddle, who was sitting by the wall with his head hanging down, also raised his head at this time.
He was still wearing the dirty brown robe, his eyes were dull and he seemed a little confused. But he quickly recognized Shade, stood up holding on to the wall, and showed a smile on his face:
"You finally came back...oh! Are you injured?"
"It doesn't matter, just let me drink some water."
Shade shook his head. This is the meaning of the twenty minutes of extra rest time.
"Sometimes I even suspect that all the memories about you are hallucinations."
Mr. Riddle sighed softly.
"Then why don't you think it's an illusion now too?"
Shade finished drinking the water, put the water bottle in his pocket, and wiped his mouth.
"When you appear, the reality of the world is stronger than ever."
Mr. Riddle used a metaphor that Shade didn't understand. This was probably some kind of metaphor among prophets.
Although the total meeting time between Shade and Mr. Riddle was only more than half an hour, they both felt like they were reunited with old friends after the meeting.
Compared with the last time Shade came, Mr. Riddle's mental state was obviously much better this time, and his thinking and logic were basically normal. He even remembered the "Impermanence Card" that Shade mentioned when he left last time. , so when Shade took out three cards from his pocket and explained his thoughts, Mr. Riddle was surprised and wanted to see these cards:
"This is really interesting. Although the playing cards left by the ancient gods do not have extraordinary power, they have been handed down from the end of the ancient times. There must be greater secrets in them. Maybe in my temporarily disappeared memories , there are clues about these playing cards, but unfortunately I can’t think of anything now.”
Having seen these three cards from Shade, Mr. Riddle will probably be able to conduct related research more smoothly after leaving the Dreadfort. The records of the Prophet Association show that this gentleman really found a card before his death. card, and that card is still preserved within the Prophet's Association.
The two did not chat for too long. After Mr. Riddle sat back down at the stone table, the thick darkness was temporarily dispelled by the light of a short candle on the other side of the table, and the god in black robes appeared again.
So far, He has not shown his true appearance when he appeared here. What Mr. Shade and Mr. Riddle saw was just the black robe, but because of this, Mr. Riddle, as an ordinary person, is qualified to interact with God. On gambling.
If it was really a saint or a god, even if it was just a "powerless" [innocent creator], Mr. Riddle would never be able to persist to the end of the gamble.
"I don't know what will happen after I put down these three cards. It's just speculation at the moment."
Shade, who had golden cracks on his body, stood behind Mr. Riddle and placed three cards on his right hand.
"Everything is impermanent, and everything has no fixed fate, so all we can do is bet on luck."
Mr. Riddle said softly that this ancient prophet who lived in the Fifth Age, after getting rid of the mental instability caused by loneliness, showed rationality and calmness that surprised Shade.
But if you think about it carefully, this gentleman has experienced so many adventures and is still alive today, and judging from historical records, he still has more than 20 years to continue taking risks. Therefore, in addition to being lucky, he has courage beyond ordinary people.
Wisdom is obviously not lacking either.
"God~"
He called softly and took the [Impermanence and Balance] that Shade placed at the top in his hand. He pinched the lower end of the card with his middle finger and index finger of his right hand, showing the card face to the god, and at the same time letting the card block his right hand.
Side eyes:
"Can I use this card, gifted by the unknown person, to continue this gamble?"
He chose to ask the gods directly, but after waiting for a long time, he did not get a response from the gods.
