Chapter 3026: The Sword Dance Elf (seeking for further reading)
Just like a mirror being shattered by a stone, the real space shattered around the two of them, and then reorganized into a time transfer station in the darkness.
Shade and Amelia drew out the long swords in their hands at the same time. The blood and green light illuminated their serious faces. They followed the stairs to the first floor, where Thomas Bennet was waiting for them.
The hotel owner did not wear the relic mask this time. He stood behind the counter and nodded to the two of them as if greeting guests, without much expression on his face.
The life ring has appeared on his back in advance, but the life ring is not the original level but the current eleventh ring. The material of the life ring is still brass, but dense tree roots are wrapped around it, and only the spiritual runes are on it.
The position of the brand left a gap for the spiritual light to radiate, which made his life ring seem to have grown larger out of thin air.
Emilia took the initiative to take a step forward, and the eight-ring green jade life ring behind her also appeared.
Although both of them had heard about each other for a long time, this was actually the first time Thomas Bennet saw Amelia, and if nothing unexpected happened, it would probably be the last time. He looked at the young girl inquiringly,
Then he sighed softly:
"The ancient one's description is indeed correct. The second candidate is a pure-blood elf. Although I have seen many things in my life, this is the first time I have actually seen an elf."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of taking action immediately, Xia De asked:
"The life ring represents the power of the soul, so do you really no longer intend to be a human being?"
Thomas Bennet shook his head and walked out from behind the counter:
"Do you know the story of our family? We have been blessed by the tree. My most distant ancestor received the power of the ancient one under the tree, and the imprint of time and the tree has been left in the blood.
I still know myself very well. If I don’t use the power of the ancients, I am destined to die. But if I can really stop you, I may still have a long way to go in the future."
He raised his right hand and raised the back of his hand, the emerald green lines were woven into leaf patterns:
"In the name of Yggdrasil, elf, this is our time war."
The door on the first floor opened with a bang, but behind it was not the thick darkness, but the street scene in front of the Accordion Hotel without light.
The time there was also frozen for a moment, Thomas Bennet made a gesture of invitation, and then walked out directly.
Emilia wanted to follow her out, but she heard the telepathy from Shade:
"Something's wrong. Last time he said he wanted to be free, and then spent the endless time looking for a way to resurrect his wife. Why does he look like he's resigned to his fate now?"
Emilia reluctantly answered in Shade's mind:
"Did the tree force him? He shouldn't have the ability to resist, right?"
The scene of the "time transfer station" expanded to the area beyond the first floor of the hotel at this time, or perhaps the original "transfer station" was not just on the first floor of the hotel, but was just not open before.
After coming outside, there were no stars or moon above our heads, only darkness, and there was no light in the city within sight. At this moment, the city seemed dead.
"Strictly speaking, this place is indeed not a reality in space. The Vesta Grove exists based on the remains of the World Tree in the concept of time and space, and this place can actually be regarded as the interior of the remains of the World Tree, located in a space opposite to reality."
Standing on the street facing the two people walking out of the door, there seemed to be something more in the darkness behind Thomas Bennet.
Shade tried hard to look, and then found that it was a tomb with a cross tombstone, but if he looked carefully, it was clear that there were more densely packed tombs behind the tomb.
The dead city made Thomas Bennet's voice particularly loud. Amelia also saw the grave behind him clearly, so she couldn't help but ask:
"You obviously used the power of the tree, but in the end you had to call the undead?"
"Undead?"
The middle-aged businessman shook his head gently. From the dense tombs behind him, rotting corpses crawled out one after another. Shade could feel that there was a soul in each corpse.
The corpses were wearing rags belonging to different eras. They were hunched over, and some even had a small section of their leg bones missing. Different life rings appeared from behind the corpses, with the highest level being
Eleven rings, the lowest level is three rings.
Because they are no longer living people, the life rings of these corpses are not entirely made of brass. However, each life ring is wrapped with tree roots like Thomas Bennett, and Thomas Bennett also gave
Got the answer:
"These are my ancestors. They are the ancestors who have run the time transfer station in the hunter's cabin, Bennet Village, Ximu Town, and Vista City that once stood in this darkness since 507 of the Sixth Era.
"
"So those of you who have served that tree your whole life, actually can't even leave your soul after you die? Is this because you are afraid that someone will channel them and know the secret of the transfer station?"
Shade asked, Thomas Bennet did not answer this question, but said to him calmly:
"Your opponent is my ancestor, and my opponent is your elf. Godcaller, even if you want to kill me right now, don't violate the rules of the Time War. Go ahead, the whole city is your battlefield
, this street is the place where I have a decisive battle with this elf."
His right hand was holding the lantern, and his left hand was holding the black wood he used last time. Only this time the wood block did not turn into a hand crossbow, but turned into a black cane. Although Emilia still looked very nervous
, but still nodded gently to Shade, this battle can only be fought by herself.
Shade then jumped lightly into the air - after learning to fly, the "frog's leap" completely lost its value, and the corpses crawling out of the graves behind Bennett were either flying or jumping.
, or clinging to the wall like a spider, or transforming into animals, or simply running quickly on their legs, and they are all scattered throughout the dark city.
Looking down at the silent city of Vista from a high altitude, Shade in the air raised the staff in his hand:
“It’s still too dark in here—moonlight!”
So like the silver sun blooming above the city, the dazzling and pure moonlight illuminated every corner of the city. Emilia was holding the [Ocarina of Time] and could even see clearly twenty meters away under the moonlight.
The details of every pore on Thomas Bennet's face, she knew, was the greatest help Shade could provide her within the rules.
"Then it finally begins."
The elf whispered to herself in her heart. The gentleness of the moonlight let her know that Shade was by her side. The future elf queen then waved her sword forward, and while the silver moonlight dragon above her head roared past her head, they faced each other under the moonlight.
The two of them also entered a state of time acceleration at the same time.
[Ocarina of Time] The sword emitted light as it was swung, and the two met in close proximity. Emilia jumped into the enemy's attack range with light steps. The sword blade collided with the cane. The long sword danced with each movement.
It brings up the emerald green afterimage, like a shooting star blooming in the dark night.
The gorgeous elf sword dance comes from the inheritance of ancient elves. Her movements are as fast as lightning when time is accelerated. Now she fights with the sword dance. The afterimage even makes countless freeze-frame postures of the elf appear in Thomas Bennet.
around.
The sword dance was as smooth as water. Not only did the blade of the sword hit the cane, but even the tip of the sword hit the time barrier constructed by the light of the lantern with every rotation. Circles of ripples echoed in the light around Thomas Bennet.
, although his cane danced like the wind, it was obvious that his level of cold weapon fighting was not as good as that of an elf with a serious heritage.
Then the lantern in his hand suddenly flickered, and the rapid slowdown of the flow of time in the airtight light area made Emilia's figure that almost turned into a ball of light become clear again. The elf's short boots stepped on the ground, and her figure
Stopping suddenly, the [Ocarina of Time] in his hand suddenly thrust forward.
The time slowed down so that the long sword that was thrust out seemed to have sunk into the soil, but then the long sword tore through the sticky time and space like a sharp emerald light. At the same time, Emilia suddenly injected power into the sword, and the sword body
A distant flute sound is emitted, and the rhythm of time is redirected.
A dark time crack opened behind Thomas Bennet, who cast a spell silently, and then dry vines protruded from the crack. These tree vines that had lost their vitality due to suppressing the doomsday crack had the ability to suppress time anomalies.
The tree vines were like chains of time trying to wrap around Emilia, so Emilia jumped up slightly, her body like a swallow, her toes tapped on the tree vines, and her whole body rotated like a dancer and leaped high into the sky.
The elf's little mind recalled the scene where the powerful dragon maids of the fifth era spread their wings and rushed to the sea one after another, just to compete with who could catch more sea fish at once. Red Dragon-Fiona Della
The hunting skills that Ge described with a smile were understood by her at this moment, so she slashed down with her sword, and the entire elf rushed down like a giant dragon.
The spiritual light bursting out from the sword was like the crescent moon cutting through the night at this moment, and the stream of light from the sword dance made the afterimage of the [Ocarina of Time] in his hand resemble a blooming lotus, spiraling towards the man holding the lantern.
Thomas Bennet felt as if he was really facing a giant dragon at this moment, but he was not panicked. The eleventh-ring warlock urged the life ring to continue to release thaumaturgy. When he raised the lantern above his head, under the strong
In the firelight, even Emilia was frozen in the air for a full second.
All the splendid auras that appeared due to the sword dance were solidified like the light and shadow in the photo. When Emilia came back to her senses, Thomas Bennet had already escaped from the center of the sword storm, and then his body merged into
