Layers of light continuously spread outwards, illuminating the Darkness, evaporating the Human Pus, and shattering the crystals.
The demons retreated in fear, but still, as if in slow motion, in their Ferocious Posture, they were melted layer by layer by the light.
The strongest Witch of the fifth epoch, through Xia De's hand, made the light sweep across the entire Darkness Domain.
The crystals melted layer by layer, the Darkness gradually receded, and the lurking demons melted in the light, while the people outside the distant forest watched everything around them in astonishment.
All the crystallized giant stones in the crystal forest and the open space under the trees, which had sealed humans, flew out of the forest in the light, and then the crystal surface melted in the light, and the Ring術士s 하나씩 broke free from their restraints and regained consciousness.
Including Miss Jialinna, they could only see an endless stream of terrifying golden light continuously spreading from the center of the forest, dispelling the Darkness Domain and gradually restoring the surroundings to their normal state.
“Is this Felianna's Witch Light?”
Not only Miss Jialinna, but also the Old Professor from Zaras School of Spellcraft, the Twelve Ring Vampire from the Blood Spirit School, and even Mr. Sari Pirot, the Steel Right Hand, who had finally rushed back, all recognized what this light was:
“How can it have such power? Has the Speaker of the Witch Council found the way after the Thirteenth Ring?”
The giant pillars supporting the Darkness Domain gradually melted, the domain's power was destroyed, and the relic would also fall into Sleep, only to awaken again in the next millennium.
The light at his fingertips gradually subsided, and the golden light converged on Xia De.
He breathed heavily; in fact, because Miss Felianna had lent him some of her power just now, his entire body was now filled with strength, and even his injuries had healed on their own.
Miss Felianna still stood beside him, the Black-haired maid looked at the Witch of the fifth epoch in disbelief, and Iluna looked up at the sky.
Cracks appeared in the dark sky, and the deep night sky was dispelling the Darkness, centered above them.
But Darkness was not dead.
The Chosen One of Darkness lay gasping for breath under the now blurry giant pillar, maintaining the form of Human Pus.
He waved his hand to the right, and a somewhat unstable black vortex appeared.
But as he tried to jump into the vortex to escape, Xia De threw Luvia's small bottle over.
Sparkling powder spilled from the broken bottle, forming a purple hexagram ritual base, making it impossible for the heavily injured and powerless Darkness to escape.
This was a ritual for sealing demons provided by Luvia.
Xia De wanted to kill Darkness now, so he had to ensure that the Human Pus could not escape.
In fact, this ritual was very simple, and the Church could also produce it.
But the ritual only temporarily imprisoned demons, not only requiring the opponent to be very weak, but also becoming ineffective after a few short minutes.
Therefore, except for Xia De, who had god's gift box as an absolutely safe sealing method, this ritual was not of much use to others.
“You lost, Darkness.
Darkness devoured you, and I devoured Darkness.”
Starlight gradually appeared from above, Xia De said softly, bending down to pick up the god's gift box on the ground, and motioning for Iluna to prepare to act.
“No, I didn't lose.”
The man, whose face was gray and covered in mud, said.
He could barely maintain the Human Pus form and was slowly being forced back into the appearance of a normal human.
“Yes, I didn't lose.”
A demonic sound came from that mouth.
“Are you going to use Sublimation Words? But so weak, what power can you still unleash?”
Iluna scoffed, even forced use of Sublimation Words had conditions, and it was impossible to unleash them in a weakened state.
“No, there's another way.
You thought of it too, didn't you, my dear Ivan?”
Darkness said softly from his mouth, and the man's face showed a tragic smile:
“Did you think of it long ago?
You planned everything, demon, you planned it all along.”
He wasn't talking to Xia De and the others.
“No, how could I have thought of this in advance?
The Witch Felianna of the fifth epoch is not something I could have imagined.”
The demon answered lightly.
So, unexpectedly, Darkness stretched out his right hand and pressed it against his head, and the mouth in the palm of his right hand cleanly bit off his head.
Black pus erupted from the headless corpse, instantly submerging the corpse and becoming a spring.
A cold wind blew, the surrounding light extinguished, and Darkness surged again.
The starlight above was gone, and the dark sky was re-sealed, not just the sealing of the Darkness Domain, but something terrifying was trying to return.
“Oh! Why isn't it over yet?”
Tifa groaned softly, Xia De sighed, and Miss Felianna's phantom smiled and gave the answer:
“Look, this is the consequence of trading with a demon.
First, another me becomes a Ring術士, then the Ring術士 commits suicide, then the soul flips, and 'another me' perfectly controls 'me' in place of 'me'.
Having absorbed part of the power of the Ancient Evil Spirit demon, and with the help of this man's power, the Human Pus in its prime will appear in the form of Darkness.
It's wonderful, simply wonderful!
Although I didn't get to know more, just thinking about it makes me realize how wonderful this scheme is.
That's why I often tell those young Witches—
Cherish your soul, stay away from demons.”
The black fluid gushing from the severed head had completely submerged the corpse.
This time, this “Human Pus” spring was even more terrifying than before.
Because something truly rejected by the world was about to return, the painful wails of Darkness's soul echoed throughout the entire Darkness Domain, and the mad laughter of the Human Pus demon also appeared with those wails.
“Then what should we do?”
Tifa hurriedly asked Miss Felianna for advice, and the Witch continued to look at Xia De:
“Don't ask me, ask him, this is just a dream for me.
To fight against something like this, only the power of a God is useful.”
“Should we notify the Church to summon a God?
Although this incident is unrelated to an Evil God, for insurance and to avoid further embarrassment, this diocese has still paid a huge price and prepared the ritual in advance.
I can notify them, but it will take at least twenty minutes to activate that divine spell.”
Iluna also said, but Miss Felianna shook her head:
“There are other ways.” (delarion common language)
Then she whispered to Xia De:
“It's still recovering, so a complete God doesn't need to act.
Just a little, a little power is enough.
Do you have such courage, Xia De.” (fifth epoch language)
Xia De thought for a moment, handed the cat on his shoulder back to Tifa, and looked at the Witch in the light:
“But I haven't prepared for the advancement ritual.”
“It doesn't matter, I'll give you power.
Don't resist, Xia De, do what you should do.
After you obtain the fourth Ling Rune of the Two Ring, you actually don't need to consider whether it's the best state, whether a special environment is needed, or whether a fifth Ling Rune is needed to supplement the unfulfilled Ling, unlike others.
You are suppressing yourself; in fact, you don't have to.
Release your instinct, right here.”
Both stood still, Miss Felianna looked at the Destiny Ring behind Xia De and gently tapped it with her finger.
Buzz!
The Witch's power, drawing the four Ling Runes of the Two Ring into resonance, the four-colored spiritual light intertwining—
A wind arose in the forest where Human Pus pus gushed.
Xia De took two steps forward, closed his eyes, and lightly tipped his toes.
His feet left the ground, and his body floated in front of the gushing Human Pus.
On the ground, there was only the faint light of Miss Felianna, but in the air at this moment, Xia De, covered in golden light, spread his arms, and dazzling four-colored spiritual light broke through the Darkness on the Destiny Ring behind him, even a little blinding.
The halos overlapped, making his entire person look different from usual.
The two ladies and the cat also saw this abnormal scene before them.
Of course, compared to the Saint Byron's Founder appearing here, this current scene wasn't particularly abnormal:
“Is Xia De also going to become a Chosen One?”
Tifa asked her unfamiliar companion in surprise.
Iluna had witnessed such a thing once before, so she feigned calmness and coughed:
“No, he's going to advance.
Although the scene might be a bit grand, this is normal for him.
Madam, just think of this as a fireworks display, please continue to watch… Hmm?”
The visibility was a bit higher now, and she finally saw Tifa looking up completely, and her thoughts blurted out:
“How did you… develop so well?”
“Prepare for advancement.”
【Understood.】
She laughed softly in Xia De's ear, but Xia De didn't understand the smile she showed at all.
The Destiny Ring rotated, and the four-colored Ling Runes resonated:
Miracle - Kiss of the Tree—
The golden Ling Rune detached from the ring body, appearing to Xia De's left.
Vaguely, the robed phantom of the Old God - shifting door under the tree overlapped with his body:
【Under the dark tree, the story of God and the Witch and you, is a new Miracle.】
blasphemy - Vibration—
The silver Ling Rune detached from the ring body, appearing to Xia De's right.
Vaguely, the shadow of a giant worm overlapped with his body:
【The appearance of the Outsider, vibrating the current moment.】
inspiration - The Witch's Light—
The brass-colored Ling Rune detached from the ring body, appearing in front of Xia De.
Miss Feilianna came into the air, in front of Xia De, with her back facing his front.
This golden figure moved horizontally backward until it overlapped with his body;
【The Witch bestows upon you the inheritance of past light; this is a bond, a reward for the brave.】
whisper - greed—
The black-iron colored Ling Rune detached from the ring body, appearing behind Xia De.
Vaguely, the figure with a treasure chest head, the Mermaid of desire, and the Fishbone Pirate Ship, all overlapped with his body.
【Love myself, desire for self, you are greedier than anyone.】
The power of the Witch, spanning epochs, caused the four Ling Runes to resonate, thus causing the Destiny Ring behind him to rotate at an even faster speed.
In the eyes of the two people and one cat, the four-colored Ling Runes surrounded Xia De in a quadrilateral shape and gradually contracted inwards.
Four strange four-colored illusions overlapped with his body, and what was about to happen was a true Sublimation.
Steam mist drifted from an unknown place, completely enveloping Xia De in this ball of light.
Bells rang, steam billowed, whistles shrieked, and hymns rose.
A huge hammerhead descended from high above, preparing to strike the rapidly rotating brass ring behind Xia De.
【At this moment, guide a drop of divinity to permeate the Ling Rune you prepared for “Sublimation Words.”】
She reminded him softly.
The soul drew that brilliant liquid, and within the rotating Destiny Ring, golden divine light overflowed.
Then all these dazzling lights converged on the 【Vibration】 on the right.
The giant hammer descended, and the abnormal advancement method almost made the entire Darkness Domain vibrate.
This was already the unknown number of earthquakes in a short period of time.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, Tifa and Iluna stared blankly at Xia De in the light.
That light illuminated their faces, illuminating their eyes.
Just watching this scene, they felt a severe mental pressure, as if they were looking at an eternally existing God.
The white mist around Xia De in the air dispersed, and his body slowly descended.
In the dispersed white mist, the original flat ring transformed into a three-dimensional brass Destiny Ring belonging to a Three-Ring Arcanist.
That high-temperature ring slowly rotated behind him; not only did the ring rotate, but also the cross-sectional segments spun on their own.
As the Destiny Ring rotated, eight Ling Runes overflowed with spiritual light that seemed to turn into liquid, flowing freely.
Among the four Ling Runes of the Two Ring, the 【Vibration】 that had been cleansed with a drop of divinity now illuminated its surroundings with a bright golden spiritual light.
This was the second step of the Thirteenth Ring path to becoming a God, but it was still only considered the beginning of that path.
The light gradually converged, and the anomaly was about to disappear.
Xia De walked out of the light and mist, his feet touching the ground again.
Because he was forcibly pushed to the Three Ring by the Witch's power, his physical qualities became even more superior to those of Ring術士s of the same level.
Clenching his fists, the sense of power was unprecedented.
He opened his eyes and looked at the two girls, a golden light flashing in his eyes, and then the silver Moonlight on his entire body surface suddenly intensified, and the shattered Darkness Domain was completely unable to suppress that Moonlight.
Tifa and Iluna subconsciously took a step back at the same time, feeling that they couldn't even describe what they had just seen and what they were seeing now.
But what Xia De brought them was definitely not fright; this man was so divine and dazzling at this moment.
