Chapter 4051 Red Moon VS Withering
The doll did not directly participate in the battle, but instead waved her finger to bless Shad, who could feel his speed and strength increasing.
“Shad, you don’t actually need to defeat it. Just stall it until your companions open the next door.”
“I understand, but if given the chance, I’m curious whether I could kill this thing.”
The chains of sin were fired again by Shad, intertwining with the surrounding blood vessels to prevent him from falling accidentally.
Xia De even wanted to draw life-giving energy from the surrounding blood vessels to replenish the "source of life," but unfortunately, these blood vessels formed a huge whole, and with his current abilities, he was not able to directly plunder life from such a whole.
While Shad only needed to buy time for his companions, the pursuer high in the sky clearly didn't want them to escape like this. Amidst the light and shadow of Shad's crimson whip, it relentlessly closed in on him, launching attacks whenever it saw an opportunity, and continuing its advance even as Shad was forced to defend himself.
Besides unleashing decay rays, it can also summon a ten-meter-tall giant double-headed sword that spins rapidly, disrupting the surrounding blood vessel spiderweb. But the most dangerous ability of this shadowy creature is to summon "decay missiles" with decay properties from the void.
On the ground, these head-sized, dim yellow light projectiles would be easy to dodge, but in the current environment, Shad can only continue to deplete the energy in the "Spark".
Miss Feliana's doll also provided Shad with a lot of help. In addition to giving Shad a blessing that increased his speed and strength, she would also intermittently summon a shield to help Shad block some attacks.
It's worth mentioning that the doll's shield bears the emblem of St. Byron's school. She also knows and understands the power of the Withering, and even while assisting Shad in battle, she informs him:
"Withering is not actually terrible. Although this 'anti-life' attribute has a strong corrosive effect on life, it is not very effective on non-life and can be restrained by many positive forces."
"So, I don't actually need to use the power of the 'Spark' to resist?"
"No, no, the opponent you encountered was too strong. The withering attribute is very pure, so you have to use life energy to defend. What I use is a light with chaotic colors, which forcibly distorts the 'anti-life' attribute."
She patiently taught this student who was rarely by her side, when at that moment, Gina's voice called from behind Shad:
"Shad, catch!"
The giant spider whose head she had just slapped to pieces was thrown over by the pink dragon girl. The spider wasn't dead yet; it could regenerate if it came into contact with the surrounding blood vessels and spiderwebs.
The spiders in front of the three witches have been mostly cleared out, and they have cleared a path while Shad fights under pressure.
"Ok!"
The Moonlight Greatsword stopped its upward slash and Shad turned, plunging his weapon into the body of the oncoming spider.
"Spell: Life Spark!"
The life energy within the severely wounded, mutated monster transformed into a spark, which was drawn into the greatsword and continuously fed into the spark source at the hilt. Meanwhile, the three witches, having dealt with the enemies blocking their path, quickly ran forward.
"Shad, keep up!"
The surrounding spiders were restless, but because the dark shadow was chasing the four people, all they could do was rustle and spit out silk to try to stop them, but this was ineffective.
Although the spider's life energy was no match for the behemoth in the furnace room, after slightly restoring the "Spark's" energy, Shad still unleashed a crimson ray backward as he retreated.
The shadowy figure dodged again, completely losing its chance to stop the group, as Mrs. Gustav at the front had already reached the door. Miss Bradvi was very close to the old witch, while Gina, worried about Shad, was some distance from her two companions, but she was also not far from the door.
"quick!"
As Mrs. Gustav opened the door, the halfling girl shouted to Shad and Gina. The spiders swarmed around them, but still dared not get too close. The shadow that had been forced back by Shad suddenly stopped at this moment.
Shad didn't turn to look, while the blonde doll spoke almost simultaneously with "her":
"Watch out, it's gone."
"what?"
The crimson space twisted, and the dark figure appeared directly in front of Gina. It violated the most fundamental rule that spatial movement was prohibited here, and this must have come at a price; otherwise, it wouldn't have waited until now to do so.
The black mist formed a hand and reached for the dragon maid's face.
"The Blood Moon Returns!"
Gina was immediately drawn to the crimson aura in Shad's hand and flew backward toward him. Although flying was prohibited here, there was no gravity field to restrict her movement.
Although they had temporarily escaped the attack, the dark figure now stood between Shad, Gina, and the door, while a large swarm of spiders peered at their flesh from behind.
Mrs. Gustave and Miss Bradwell tried to distract the shadowy figure, but they were already in a "safe zone." The shadowy figure ignored them and continued to slide along the spider web toward Shad and Gina.
The dragon maiden opened her mouth to unleash her dragon breath, but Xia De knew that this would only slow her down for a few seconds and would be meaningless except for consuming her spirit.
"No, I'll do it."
He stopped Gina, and with a serious expression, drew his sword and charged towards the dark figure.
"Miss Feliana, could you please help enhance my moonlight later?"
"I am the Great Witch of Light."
Just before Shad and the dark figure were about to make contact, the greatsword slashed down. This time, the dark figure did not dodge but faced the sword light head-on. The black mist that made up its body almost solidified into a physical form at this moment and crashed into the sword light.
Click!
The moonlight greatsword, glowing with fire, shattered in Shad's hand, while the suddenly thinning shadow continued to pounce on Shad, the real "thief."
"Adele's time stands still!"
The frozen spacetime only paused the opponent for a moment, but that moment was enough for Shad to grip the source of the fire in his right fist and strike the shadowy figure:
"Red Moon—Moonfire!"
The fist was enveloped in flames, the light of the life-seed amplifying the radiance of the crimson moon, which in turn amplified the faint glimmer of life. Although Xia De did not know any "Moon Fist," this fist, rippling with flames, condensed moonlight, moonfire, and the life-seed, and the glass-like flames collided with the black light before him.
The power of life and the power of the moon together confront the force of decay.
To Gina, Mrs. Gustav, and Miss Bredwell, time seemed to stand still for a moment when the two touched each other. The red moonlight, like a physical flame, then dragged a tail of flame behind Shad, forming a crimson shield in front of him, with the source of the fire as its core.
The black light became increasingly solid until it completely transformed into a dim yellow light representing "decay".
The two appeared evenly matched, but Shad's AllSpark had limited energy. Fortunately, the doll on his right shoulder whispered an incantation, and a chaotic light flowed through his right arm into Shad's palm. The moonfire, now tinged red, suddenly expanded, and with the help of the demigod witch, the flames erupting from the AllSpark completely dispelled the withering light.
The black mist dissipated, the pursuers exhausted all their energy and perished completely, while Shad was also sent flying backward by the immense impact. Gina hurriedly caught him, and almost fell off the thick blood vessel beneath her feet along with Shad.
The disappearance of the shadowy figure did not result in the loss of the [Blood Essence of All Things], but only a black crystal was left behind, which was absorbed by the two witches beside the door from a distance.
The clothes on Shad's right arm had all turned to ashes, and on the skin of his right arm, dense, bright red blood vessels bulged out from under the skin, those blood vessels expanding and contracting in rhythm with the heartbeat.
Gina looked at Shad's right hand and saw that the "Spark" was embedded in his palm.
"Come on."
Miss Felian Anna warned them, and at that moment, rustling sounds quickly surrounded them. The defeat of the pursuers finally made the spiders here no longer afraid, and they quickly moved towards Shad and Gina.
The pink dragon maid picked up Shad, flapped her wings to accelerate, and ran quickly towards the open door. Lady Gustav used her hands to cast spells against the spiders trying to approach them, but the halfling girl was the one who truly played the most significant role:
"Ghost Face Eyes!"
She raised the metal shield and used her secret technique to fully activate the eerie demonic eye embedded in the center of the shield. The [active metal] fused into the shield then formed a complex ritual array around the demonic eye.
The demonic eyes, which had seemed lifeless, quickly regained their brilliance.
The powerful whispering element almost reached the highest level of a sage-level relic. Under the gaze of that demonic eye, the spiders chasing Shad and Gina rapidly grew ghost faces on their bodies. Then, the ghost faces controlled these parasitized individuals and fought against their companions.
But the number of spiders chasing them continued to increase, and even the walls were covered with dense swarms of spiders crawling downwards and upwards. The blood-red spider webs were shaking violently, but fortunately, before they were swallowed up by the sea of spiders, Gina managed to carry Shad to the door.
The three witches stepped through the door together, slammed it shut with a bang, and then sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
Before them, a metallic dodecahedron floated above the pool of blood, its surface bearing symbols representing twelve different fleshly organs. After a series of adventures, they finally found the third "Forge of Life."
"Shad, your hand."
"fine."
Shad endured the excruciating pain, saying that with each heartbeat, he felt a radiating pain radiating through the veins of his entire arm. The AllSpark hadn't merged into his body; instead, it had formed a one-way connection with it.
The injection of external life force is not necessarily a good thing; clearly, his body refused to have an extra strange "eye."
