Professor Uke Wood was not surprised at all by Shad’s question:
"Okay. If it's you, of course it's no problem."
"No! Absolutely not!"
Not only did Luvia blurt it out, but almost every great witch objected, and the girls who didn't object were definitely not willing to let Shade sit in this position.
"God Caller, although it is up to you to decide this matter, based on the attitude of our church, we do not want you to die here."
"Nightmare Witch" Miss Maria said on behalf of the church. She looked at her friend Sister Devlin who was standing among the witches. The nun seemed to have opened her mouth just now.
"From the academy's perspective, Godcaller, the world still needs you."
This is the red-haired girl talking. Although Emilia is here, she doesn't mind expressing her opinion. After all, there is a difference between apprentices and ordinary students. Ms. Helena Carter on the side is talking about the red-haired girl.
The girl nodded slightly, probably appreciating her opening her mouth to speak.
The number of diviners in the Seer Association was small, and they were unwilling to get involved in this matter, so they did not speak. Among the elves, Mr. Eldron, the "Lord of Rivendell" expressed his opinions on behalf of the major elven clans.
.
They also disapproved of Shade doing this, but the reason they gave was not that the "God Caller" was important to the world, but based on honor:
"God Caller, this is an honor that belongs to the tree elves. You are neither an elf, nor do you believe in the tree father, but the moon god. Please don't deprive us of our honor."
Most ancient races have this old-fashioned idea, but once a foreigner has made up his mind, he will not be easily persuaded by others. Besides, he doesn't really want to sit on the throne and transform into a tree to sacrifice. He is not now
A lonely man, he also needs to think about the girls and the domestic pet cat.
"Sitting on the throne" and "transforming into a tree" cannot be equated.
"Meow~"
Under the silent moon, the cat meowing from Shade's chest was soft, but it was so obvious now when there was only the sound of wind. Shade's expression changed, knowing that the cat that had been turned into a toy had once again turned back without permission.
, and Luvia next to her could barely hold back her laughter.
It was obviously such a serious occasion, but it suddenly became less serious just because of this meow.
However, for the sake of his own image, Shade pretended not to hear the meow. In his heart, he hoped that little Mia would be good and huddle in the inner pocket of his coat and stop making any sound:
"Professor Wood, I don't want to turn into a tree. I want to know that although the time scars you mentioned are ancient and powerful, they are still essentially 'time cracks', right?"
He did not use the title "Ancient One", and the old man standing in front of the throne also nodded:
"Yes, you can think so."
"So is it possible to seal it using a method similar to sealing time cracks?"
Shade asked again, and Amelia stopped talking and looked at the old man. The latter thought about it:
"I know that you have used a mystery lock similar to 'Tree Planting' in Fort Midhill and Green Lake to seal the 'Edge of Life and Death' and the unstable space of Green Island. But your mystery lock is not
Regarding the concept of 'time', it may be able to seal the scar in the 'now', but that scar exists in all time. It must be the power of time to deal with it."
The puzzle he is talking about is the "Fairytale puzzle-kiss of the tree" that symbolizes courage.
Shade corrected:
"I'm not talking about the power I've shown. I'm talking about similar power. There must be a seal specifically for time in the material world."
"Yes, but none of them can deal with the problems here. None of them are strong enough. Godcaller, you may be able to call out the Moon God, but the scars here were caused by the collapse of the World Tree when the Tree Father left. The Ancient God
Of course you can seal it in person, but the god you called is sorry, I don't want to offend, but it doesn't seem to have the power of the ancient god."
The old man spoke in detail, and Xia De also knew what he meant. Problems caused by the World Tree can only be solved by the World Tree.
"I'm not referring to the power of the moon. Since it is a crack in time, can the crystal that symbolizes eternity seal it?"
Shade turned to look at Vanessa, so Vanessa took [Ancient Dwarf Rune Gunpowder] from the accompanying girl. This thing is a relic, although the countdown was stopped by Shade's "Time Stop"
, but the size is still too large, so it has been carried by a dedicated person during previous operations.
"The eternal crystal."
The old man looked at the bright crystal wrapped in a metal box:
"The power you control is very interesting, and it is common to see time stop, but the obsession symbolized by this layer of crystal is indeed terrifying. Is this a brand-new power possessed by your Mystery Lock?"
The magic used to cast the bomb was "Adele's Time Stop". Shade didn't expect that he could see the clue at a glance:
"Yes, if I can use the complete Mystic Lock with all my strength, can my Mystic Lock seal the time scar?"
But the answer is still no:
"Although it is indeed a power against time, and it comes from the power of your soul, it is still a mortal technique. Even you, the God Summoner, you are not enough to freeze that ancient scar.
.”
"I can assist him in completing the spellcasting. I am a demigod in the time domain. I can become a part of him while he fully unfolds the mystery."
Adele suddenly spoke behind Shade, but the old man still shook his head:
"Demigods are also mortal."
Shade has other options:
"What if I use the power of the World Tree to cast this mystery? That staff."
[The Staff of Yggdrasil] is now in the hands of Luvia. Although it cannot be used to replace Emilia, it still comes from the World Tree.
"I know the power of that staff, and it is indeed the power of the World Tree, but it is still not enough. Your mystery chain, staff, and the demigod of time combined are still not enough to compare with the real Time Chosen One
.”
"What if you add me?"
Please...you...collect_()
Luvia also asked at this time, Shade turned to look at her, and the purple-eyed girl also looked at him with a smile. Although she couldn't handle the troubles here by herself, she offered help to Shade
It's still ok.
This time the old man did not shake his head immediately. He closed his eyes and was silent for a while:
"If you really appeared here, then of course it would be enough. But you and the Witch of Time both came because of the call of the God Caller, and the power you use still comes from his spirit. And you want to cast a spell
It’s still not enough to accomplish this kind of miracle.”
Whether it is Shade's low-level words of sublimation or middle-level words of sublimation, the time the girls stay in the "now" will be reduced due to the girls' spell casting.
So when they were in the Heart of the Pantanal, all the demigod witches only used one move and left, and Shade was unconscious for a whole day afterwards. Although Shade is much stronger now than then, he is not enough.
In order to support Adele and Luvia, they tried their best to help him complete the seal.
At this point, things seemed to have reached a deadlock again. In silence, people were waiting for the Godcaller to make the final decision.
And Shade felt that the moon seal was getting closer and closer, and he counted down in his heart. Snowflakes fell one after another. In this silence, the thirteen-ring warlocks with strong perception gradually heard
Strange sounds came from the woods outside the clearing, and then more and more people noticed something approaching the clearing under the starlit trees.
It didn't sound like human footsteps, nor did it sound like four-hoofed creatures like unicorns or horses. Those sounds were clearly approaching the open space under the trees, and they didn't hide their intentions.
.
People who didn't know what happened turned around to look. Not long after, a fluffy yellow bird's head poked out of the forest, and then a group of yellow and blue chocobos rushed out of the forest. The woman was on her way in a hurry.
The warlocks were riding on chocobos and were shocked to see so many people here and all turning back to look at them.
Carina, the leader, even whispered:
"Is this a meeting here? It doesn't look like I'm late."
The starlight shone on the red hair of the witch who jumped off the chocobo. She first confirmed that her illusion and makeup disguises were still there, and then she held the stone box in the side pocket next to the chocobo with one hand and the other.
He led the chocobo who had been traveling all night and walked towards Shade from the edge of the clearing.
The other female knights also got off their chocobos and followed the witch. Tifa was among them. Apart from her, most of them were other high-ringed maids of the duke, but a few of them were sorceresses that Shade didn't know either.
Although they hid their inhuman characteristics, they were all high-level warlocks present, so it was not impossible to recognize that they belonged to the [Crescent Moon Secret Order].
The people originally standing in the open space separated to the left and right, making way for the "chocobo riders". As for the end of the "road", of course, there was Shad, who was holding Luvia in one hand and being held by the elf in the other.
Carina smiled at Shade. She didn't know what had just happened here, nor did she know who the lady standing next to Shade was who made the edges of her vision seem to be painted with chaotic colors, but since everyone
It didn't look like the injury was serious, so she felt relieved.
Shade also smiled at her. No matter what happened before, the great witch who missed the balance of the entire Vesta Grove battle finally caught up at the end.
Those fluffy blue and yellow chocobos were brought by Carina from the cabin to facilitate movement in the woods when the Secret Order of the Waning Moon was waiting for the "treasure" to appear on the night of the full moon.
Selected from the fleeing chocobos.
All the chocobos are back, and they are following the witch with a high-spirited look, which seems to be very useful to the humans who took the initiative to separate the paths for them. Of course, if Luvia hadn't deliberately lowered her presence at this moment
I feel like these little things may not dare to enter here at all.
PS: I originally wanted to draw Carina riding a chocobo galloping in the snowy night, but the AI drawings were all four-legged chocobos! All four-legged!
