Chapter 4094 Evil Creature - [Life]
Vige's divination pointed to a small area, but there was nothing there except for woods and weeds; the evil creature didn't seem to be there at all.
However, their location was slightly higher than that of the opera house, almost the same as that of the Candlecastle Library. Therefore, after using witch's magic to break through the illusion barrier, they could easily see the battle that was about to end from their position.
The sun's flames continuously melted the metal shell of the mechanical giant, which was activated by the giant pipe organ, while the light of dawn suppressed the giant's lament for itself.
Wei Ge stood in the woods watching this scene:
"Who could have imagined that Arcadia City would become like this in just half a month?"
She even felt a sense of absurdity because of the scene, but fortunately, subsequent events left her no time to think about it.
The organ's mournful melody suggested that it too knew it was doomed. Viggo even felt, for some reason, that it could sense a twisted life's attachment to this world. She felt a pang of sadness because of this emotion, when Winnie beside her suddenly said:
"The internal core temperature of this machine is dropping rapidly."
If the temperature rises rapidly, it most likely means the target is about to self-destruct; it seems that activated machines all possess this ability. But what does a drop in core temperature signify? The witch couldn't say.
She vaguely realized that her divination might be correct, so she signaled to the two girls beside her to prepare for battle.
Subsequently, with the naked eye, Vigo observed that the steam mist gushing from the giant machine was thinning, and the noise in the hot sound tube that was continuously emitting sound waves was also decreasing.
Just as Wei Ge was wondering—
Wow ~
The sudden cry of a baby startled Wei Ge. The cry came directly from inside the machine, growing louder and louder in the night until Wei Ge instinctively covered her ears.
"That evil entity wouldn't be here."
Boom!
The cries triggered a resonance in the sound tubes, and the power of the sound waves caused the lifeless metal to shatter, causing the giant machine to explode amidst the cries. Metal fragments shot out in all directions like cannonballs. The church's ring mages tried their best to block the metal fragments heading towards the city, but as a result, much of the metal fell into the desolate forests to the east of the city.
One of the giant sound tubes, still warm and smoking, crashed down on where Wei Ge and the others were with a deafening roar. It finally stopped after smashing through a large swath of trees and embedding one end deep into the mountainside.
The girls, of course, dodged in time, and then they heard the crying continue to come from the giant sound tube. At first, the sound was muffled, but then it became clearer and clearer, accompanied by a sickening metallic twisting sound.
Soon, as the giant pink baby bit through the metal outer wall of the sound tube, it finally came out of the sound tube and into the outside world.
Even lying on the ground, this thing was already about two meters in size, its whole body was pink, and the girls could sense the abundant life force within it even without Xia De's magical abilities.
"It drained that mechanical giant dry?"
Miss Rowling asked incredulously, while Vige frowned deeply, and the eleventh ring of her life force appeared behind her:
"We found something similar in a notebook in the underground laboratory of the cemetery. Evil things - [life] can be born from any life form, and their only goal after birth is to devour and grow."
Even the ancients of the Second Era didn't know the exact origin of this evil entity. It's very similar to a disease known in modern times as 'cancer,' except that the evil entity parasitizes the material world. Based on my mother's conjecture, if a weakened life is fading away, then an extremely unstable life is probably this evil entity.
"The master has encountered something like this before."
Winnie spoke softly, almost certain that what she saw before her was the same kind of thing forged in the "Forge of Life" in the "Stained Blood Factory" that Shad had described:
"But the [life form] that the master encountered before had normal life force and used the ability of flesh and blood mutation. This one has absorbed the distorted life spark, and it's hard to imagine what kind of power it will have."
As the girls were talking, the pink monster that had arrived in the forest pounced on them. A dangerous torrent of chaotic energy surged forward, and the ugly creature that had been crying out opened its mouth wide in mid-air. The cry then materialized the sound waves, which forcefully withstood an attack from the eleventh-tier Great Witch.
"It not only absorbed the life energy of the mechanical life form, but also its abilities!"
As she spoke, Wei Ge leaped into the air, her right hand raised high towards the night sky. The energy of light and shadow merged and intertwined, and then hundreds of chaotic light bullets shot towards the monster lying on the ground.
Miss Rowling, a ninth-circle sorcerer, was about to suggest to Winnie beside her that they go to the surrounding area to keep watch and prevent others from getting close when she saw white steam rising from behind the maid.
Within the steam and mist, the spirit runes echoed the moonlight of the night. Vige, suspended in the air, suddenly felt a chill in her surroundings, followed by a low growl from below:
"Miraculous Technique: Ice Storm!"
Without any fancy techniques, the natural spirits born from the wind and snow summoned snowflakes in this mountain wilderness, thus allowing the recently passed winter to return in the spring nights.
The howling wind and snow instantly turned the mountain forest white with frost, and the ice storm that rose out of nowhere enveloped the huge pink baby.
It struggled through the blizzard, crying out, its veins bulging on its body, allowing the life force to flow within them. The intense heat from this life force tried to help it withstand the unusual cold, but even the warmth of life sometimes cannot overcome the harshness of nature.
Vige, who had just been preparing to attack, blinked in surprise. When she turned to look down, she saw Winnie, whose black hair had turned silver. And the life ring floating behind the maid was clearly a twelve-ring life ring.
"He himself only has a ten-ring score, while his maid has a twelve-ring score?"
The evil creature called "Life" did not perish so easily. Although its body was gradually covered in frost by the ice storm, its mouth bulged, and a crimson glow could even be seen inside the thinnest part of its cheek skin.
"Wow!"
The spark of life transformed into flames, striking Winnie with the purest life energy. The flame pierced through the ice storm, and Winnie, clearly unwilling to directly contact this distorted life energy, quickly dodged to the side.
At this moment, the enormous pink infant lay on the ground like a toad, and with its head-shaking motion, crimson flames swept across the entire forest. The essence of this flame was twisted life force; upon contact with the surrounding trees, the trees' own life energy was immediately contaminated, and consequently, their own life energy was ignited.
Looking down from the air, Wei Ge saw that a large area of forest below had been engulfed in flames in just a few seconds, and she could hardly imagine how she would deal with the situation.
"Chaos wriggling!"
She immediately flew downwards, a shield created by the merging of light and shadow blocking the crimson stream of light. But even at her peak, the power of an eleventh-tier Great Witch was still somewhat strained to directly confront the impact of the calamity's power.
Fortunately, Winnie also came to her side:
"Miraculous Technique: Frost Ray!"
The extremely cold, icy blue light clashed with the flame of life. Wei Ge had never seen such pure cold before; she even thought that this extreme cold was enough to freeze the soul and even time and space.
So, while continuing to use the black shield formed from the chaotic wriggling to block the dissipating distorted life sparks, Vige also cast her second magical spell:
"Miraculous Technique: Chaotic Echo!"
The frost ray, amplified by the power of chaos, instantly pushed the crimson fire stream back. Winnie continued to increase her spiritual output, and first, her black eyes gradually turned ice blue. Then, to Viggo's surprise, Winnie's skin gradually became transparent until finally her entire body transformed into a crystal-clear appearance.
"Ha~ I knew it, she definitely wasn't human."
The ice storm had been torn apart by the pink monster, whose head continued to spew fire, while a second head was trying to grow on its right shoulder to deal with the attacks of these troublesome women.
At that very moment—
"Withering Life Ray!"
The dim yellow light struck the monster's shoulder from the side, hitting its newly swollen head directly. The fresh flesh lost its vitality, and half of the head actually peeled off the monster's shoulder, falling to the ground and leaving only charred bones rolling into the snow.
Shad, who rushed over, had already gathered a lot of life force on his way here using [Life Regeneration], but when he saw this somewhat familiar monster, he still knew that with the normal life energy in his current mark, he simply couldn't defeat such an enemy.
"Winnie."
He whispered a command and then ran towards the monster. As he ran, his body grew larger and larger until he swelled into a giant over three meters tall. He wielded a red moonlight greatsword, fused with the life force, and cleaved it towards the remaining head of the pink infant.
The cry erupted like an explosion in the snowstorm the next second, the sound wave pushing Xia De's massive body backward, and even the swirling snow and burning trees around him were swept away by the invisible shockwave.
Viggo raised a shield to protect herself and Miss Rowling from the scattered sparks, and she noticed that Winnie had transformed into a blast of cold air and flown away from her.
After the fire and snow subsided slightly, the monster lying on the ground was seen reattaching its severed head to its neck.
Centered on the monster, everything within a hundred-meter radius was swept away, leaving only burning withered grass on the ground. Amidst the rustling sounds, frost spreading from the ground actually froze all the flames of life.

It seems I set the wrong time. Oh well, it's okay. I'll ask for votes in four hours.
