Staggering out of the white mist door, he gasped and looked at the ancient stone door standing in front of him. The terrifying wind of death blowing from the stone door suddenly made Shade wake up:
"No! It's going to be dawn soon!"
Without any time to think, he bent down and picked up his belongings from the ground. After confirming that nothing was left behind, he immediately rushed out along the passage.
Inside the church, he did not encounter any obstruction, and even the soul of the church ring warlock at the door of the church, with his hands on his chest, congratulated him on successfully rescuing his companions.
After running out of the church and onto the street filled with white mist, Shade stopped before taking a few steps.
In reality, the Church of Nature and the Church of the Dawn are both on Santa Carla Avenue, but they are located at both ends of the street. At this time, on the narrow Santa Carla Avenue, two-digit evil spirits are patrolling in the strange miasma.
, and then suddenly noticed Sha De at this time.
"Damn, why are there so many evil spirits? Wait, isn't it because I used the mysterious lock behind the door just now, and there is feedback in the narrow room and in reality?"
Before I had time to think about it, those evil spirits with terrifying faces had swept over the white mist and rushed over silently. They almost merged with the white mist, and it was like a wave of mist and a wave of ghosts rushing over at the same time.
If it were in the outside world, the burst of silver moon light or even Feliana's witch's light could seriously injure them all, but in order not to attract more attention, Shade could not do this.
"There are too many, and we can't use the [Silver Moon Great Sword] for close combat. We don't have enough time."
Thinking in his mind, he took a step back and suddenly drew a horizontal line with his right hand in front of him. Silver light traces parallel to the ground immediately flew out, but they were only pushed back, as if they were cut in half. The upper and lower bodies could be separated, so they could
The tall man attacking alone, and the noble evil spirit holding his own head and dragging hundreds of heads behind him.
"The instant [Silver Moon Slash] is not powerful enough."
Shade continued to retreat while drawing a crossed cross with his arms in front of him. The light mark stayed in the air. Shade bent down slightly, and then punched forward suddenly. The cross mark flew out immediately, but due to the spell cast
It took too long, and all the evil spirits easily dodged the blow.
"It seems that the power is enough, but the speed is not fast enough."
[What are you going to do? Use mind blast to repel an entire street of evil spirits with one punch? 】
she asked with a chuckle.
In the real world, Shade's power is not that strong, but in a world like Hazama where the power of the soul is highlighted, it is indeed possible for him to use up 80% of his current soul. But there is still a long way to go.
There is still a long way to go, and Shade cannot fall into the dilemma of lack of strength again.
"If you want to be fast and cruel, I have another trick."
Seeing that the terrifying spirit body was approaching, Shade closed his eyes, took a deep breath and meditated on the silver moon in his mind, and at the same time tried to grasp the further insights he had about the moon when he drank the "moon wine".
Stopping his retreat, Shade opened his arms——
Snapped!
Stretch your arms straight in front of you and slam your hands together:
"moonlight--"
The moment he opened his eyes, countless pairs of pale arms were already rushing to reach out to Shade's head from the white mist in front of him:
"——Slash!"
The two hands suddenly separated towards the upper left and lower right respectively, and as the hands separated, a bright arc of light was actually pulled out between the palms. Due to the movement trajectory of the palms, the light mark protruded in the middle and the tail end was backward.
He flew out almost as soon as his arms were fully opened.
A long-lasting afterimage was left in the white mist. Almost at the next moment, the arc of light cut all the evil spirits piled in front of it into two pieces, and then flew into the depths of the white mist. The cutting of the spirit body
The bright moonlight shone at the mark, and after a second of silence, the soul's "last words" sounded one after another:
"If I can get home in time"
"I want to live another hundred years."
"Actually, I didn't lose, it was him who lost."
"forgive me"
"The terror beneath the earth is unimaginable to mortals."
At the same time as this chaotic sound sounded, Shade looked at his hand with a smile:
"At the first level, I learned [Moonlight Slash], which is weak in power but does not take time to cast. At the second level, I learned to let the light mark stop and then strike out. It is very destructive but takes a long time to cast. At the third level, I mastered it again.
The method of drawing an arc of light with two palms has medium power and medium casting time. Perhaps, this thaumaturgy is the most suitable for me. If there is one change per ring, even if there is no essential change like [Echo of Blood],
This thaumaturgy is enough for me."
【Not enough time.】
"Oh! Let's go!"
The sky in [The Narrow Room of Life and Death] was obscured by a strange white mist, and the stars, sun and moon could not be seen. But at this time, the city of Fort Midhill had reached the last moment before dawn. Use [Raglai's Jump] and
[The Leap of the Frog] Shade, who was advancing rapidly, had already destroyed countless evil spirits along the way, and when he entered the courtyard of the Russell Manor, there was only the last half minute before dawn.
"It's too late, it's too late!"
The arrival of the dawn of the material world seems to be able to suppress the [Chasm of Life and Death]. The white fog is becoming thinner, greatly enhancing visibility.
Shade didn't even have time to walk through the main entrance. He directly smashed through the corridor window of the dilapidated manor and ran forward along the corridor.
When he turned into the corridor at the deepest part of the manor, due to the time mismatch between the two spaces, there was clearly half a minute left just now, but now there was less than five seconds left.
He dashed forward and crashed directly into the rotten wooden door deep in the corridor. Behind the door was the normal world. But even if he could cross space, time in the normal world was still passing rapidly.
Shade crossed ten meters in one step, and his hand was about to touch the wooden door, but it seemed that it was too late.
"There is no other choice but to use Raglai's jump twice in a row!"
This is very likely to attract those terrible things that live in the cracks of space, but Shade can't control so much at this time.
However, before he could cross space again, the closed rotten wooden door opened automatically, and then an old hand stretched out like stretched plasticine and grabbed Shade's right hand.
Then with a sudden tug, at the last moment, Shade was pulled from a position 15 feet away from the wooden door, directly into the door connecting the two worlds.
The thin burning thread on his right hand was completely turned into ashes, and the last sparks fluttered in the deserted corridor.
"oh!"
Shade, who had passed through the door, had fallen heavily into the corridor of the Russell Manor. He rolled a few times before he could offset the huge momentum. Looking up, there was no one in front of him. The interior of the Russell Manor had returned to normal.
It has returned to a normal state. As for the black vortex on the wall behind it that connects to the [Challenge of Life and Death], it has also disappeared.
"Successful."
Standing up slowly while holding on to the wall, he felt tired from not sleeping all night. Returning to reality, his numb body returned to normal perception. At the same time as warmth emerged, Shade also felt that he was really tired.
Not only did he not sleep all night, he actually stepped into death, and faced the blood-sucking saint again. Even though everything was over, after the tense nerves relaxed, the mental pressure could not be relieved like this.
Yawning and resisting sleepiness, I walked out of the manor house, wanting to thank Sister Devlin and the [Spiritual Cultivation Order] for their help. At this time, the bonfire in the courtyard had been extinguished under the eastern sky, leaving only
Very weak embers were still radiating heat on the charred wood.
The nuns and monks from the order were also pouring into the building, preparing to clean up the traces of rituals inside the building. Sister Devlin was still standing in front of the bonfire, but there was an old woman beside her.
She has silver hair, but her face is still healthy. Although the wrinkles on her face can no longer be concealed, her eyes are still so bright.
She was wearing a very old style black skirt, which looked like it was half a century ago, and on her head was a black wide-brimmed hat with huge white artificial flowers on it.
Shade suddenly stopped at the door of the mansion, and then put his hand into his right pocket. He had just returned from the past time, and he had no time to put the pendant around his neck, so he stuffed it directly into his pocket.
For this reason, his skin was not directly attached to the pendant that could sense the witch. It was not until this moment that the heat was strong enough to affect his waist through his coat and shirt that he finally understood the person standing in front of him.
Who is the old woman?
The other party nodded and smiled at him, with a kind expression on his face, and there seemed to be no malice. Shade hesitated for a moment, then continued to walk forward, passing by the blind nuns of the order, and came to the gray-haired Devlin
In front of the nun and the old witch:
"Sister Devlin, I encountered some accidents inside, but the priest has rescued me. Not only the priest, but also most of the people who disappeared this autumn, they should be scattered in the Sikal Mountains now. Someone helped us, a
People with wings, I think there should be a strange phenomenon in the Sikar Mountain area in the real world."
After reporting the "facts" he had fabricated to the nun in detail, Shade bowed slightly to the old woman:
"Hello, Ms. Cassandra, thank you for giving me a hand just now."
The hand that pulled Shad out of the "Challenge of Life and Death" should belong to this witch.
"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton."
The witch directly called out the stranger's surname in this world, but the nun beside her didn't respond at all.
The old man looked at Shade kindly:
"You are right, something did happen just now. I think someone should have used the secret lock deep in the narrow room, but it also helped you. It seems that you are really lucky.
Although she is old, you can still see from the details of her face what kind of grace she had when she was young:
"Actually, before I met you, I still had some doubts about what Carina said."
"Miss Carina asked you to help me?"
Shade asked. He could see that the witch in front of him didn't seem to be hostile to him.
"Oh, yes. Yesterday, Devlin told me that Carina's friends came to her for help, and even had to enter the narrow realm of life and death in person. It happened that I met Carina in the parliament last night, and I talked to her about it.
this matter."
Shade could imagine the Duchess's surprise and shock at that time. Shade didn't tell her before taking action because Miss Carina would definitely not agree to him doing such a thing. After all, the red-haired witch didn't care whether Priest Augustus was
Death is life.
"I heard rumors some time ago that the duchess of Saladir danced with a lucky man at the queen's birthday party in Tobesk. At that time, I thought she asked her maid to dress up as a man.
, to cover up some facts and put out bad rumors, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”
