Chapter 3809 Battle at the Summit
Currently, Stella is undoubtedly the fastest progressing. The white-haired girl carries Frostmourne on her back and has the lucky bell lent to Shad by the hermits hanging at her waist. Moreover, she has somehow managed to make the ice-blue Ring of Fate suspend in the center of her own ring. Her brass ring is now almost turning ice-blue due to continuous and intense spellcasting.
The girl from the sixth ring has now demonstrated combat prowess that has reached the high ring level. Megan and Flora, who just arrived from the foot of the mountain, are protecting her as she continues forward.
As for the witches in the mountaintop area, they are Vanessa, who is at the thirteenth rank, and Galina, who is at the twelfth rank. Dorothy and Laceya were also sent here by Luvia, but they did not participate in the battle. Instead, they stood hand in hand at the entrance of the Path of Atonement, where yellow sand was constantly emerging, and tried their best to analyze the current spatial state inside the ruins.
If they could locate the "Upper Spring" inside the ruins directly from their current position, Stella could be transported to the final destination as soon as she met up with them.
"stop!"
The staff slammed heavily into the ground, and wherever the green glow spread, all enemies froze in time. Even though these monsters with their destiny possessed a certain degree of time resistance, the brief pause of a few seconds was enough for the ring sorcerers' magic to cover them.
Emilia stood in the center of the summit platform, assisted by two high-ring elven female guards and a twelve-ring bronze dragon lady from Dragon Island in casting spells.
Emilia served as the core of the battlefield, preventing any real monsters from breaching the mountaintop defenses. Meanwhile, those who truly possessed the thirteenth ring level were each facing their own formidable opponents.
A hundred meters above the summit, Miss Eden, with her pure white wings spread wide, radiated a divine glow, illuminating the main battlefield like the sun at night.
Layers of sun emblems erupted around her, each appearance accompanied by a continuous barrage of solar flares that roared forward like tornadoes. The [Divine] destiny bestowed upon her by the Lady of the Lake hovered above her head like an angelic halo, but this thirteen-ring lady was unable to immediately suppress her opponent.
A strange woman, bearing the destiny of the "Black Sun," shrouded in a black robe and with a black halo emanating from the back of her head, silently faced the attack of this top-tier thirteenth-ring sorcerer.
The Ring of Fate alone was not enough to allow her to face the Sun Emblem so easily. A black serpent emerged from her heart and coiled around her right arm. This power, a gift from "Mr. Serpent," allowed her to barely achieve the "double ring" stance, which enabled her to withstand Miss Eden's attack.
A similar situation exists with the [Unbalanced One] who is currently fighting Iluna. He had already appeared in Act VI, The Great Symphony of Fate, but when he reappeared this time, he had completely lost his human form.
The black serpent's head was replaced by his own, embodying an unbalanced fate, the flawed fate represented by the Infinite Serpent, and the doomsday destiny bestowed upon him by the Serpent Master. On the long mountain steps, he recounted his tragic past to Iluna while relentlessly launching deadly attacks.
Even after witnessing countless grotesque monsters, Iluna still considered the one before her the most repulsive. She skillfully wielded the destiny of punishing evil and bringing hope, but she didn't draw her sword, the Night Watchman, from her back; now was far from the time to draw it.
Vanessa, who herself did not resonate with the Ring of Fate, cooperated with Galina and, with the assistance of the hidden Sylvia Tower in the distance, fought against the two-meter-tall black goat with the fate of [Desolation].
At this moment, the number of followers of the serpent holding the Ring of Destiny gathered in the mountaintop area has reached an astonishing six. In addition to [Imbalance], [Black Sun], and [Desolation], the other three destinies are [Evil], [Ignorance], and [Paradox].
These people, like the "Eros," each have their own stories, and holding the ring of fate that resonates with them, they all received a gift of destiny from "Mr. Snake" tonight.
All six of them have entered the "Second Ring" destiny stance. Therefore, apart from the strong individuals who possess their own destiny and can fight them one-on-one, the other thirteen ring members must unite to suppress them.
In addition, there are quite a few powerful individuals among the pseudo-ring beasts attacking the summit at this moment. Although the church and the academy have dispatched the largest number of thirteen rings to date to participate in the battle for the destiny war, the manpower is still insufficient.
Of course, there was still one person present who, even without mastering the Ring of Fate, managed to suppress Mr. Snake's followers all by himself.
The blonde Adele Isabella stands out from nowhere, while her adversary holds the fate of "paradox" in her hands.
Although the body is in human form, the monster's three heads share a single neck. One is the face of a child with black liquid dripping down, another is the face of an old man with festering skin, and the third is the face of a handsome yet sinister young man. The three faces look like three different stages of a person's life.
【Paradox】Inlaid on the forehead of the young man's face in the center, a black ouroboros pattern is branded on the child's face, while a black arc is embedded in the old man's profile, which is a third kind of fate that resonates with it, different from 【Paradox】 and 【Doomsday】—【Misfortune】.
Its body transforms into different age stages every second, sometimes even conjuring bird claws, fish scales, or other incomprehensible things. It's as if the rules of time have completely lost their order in its presence, and even its every breath affects the flow of time around it.
But even with such a powerful enemy, Adele Isabella easily overpowered him.
Thirteen rings of fate floated behind her, their four-colored light shining brighter than any other rune in the long, dark night. Adele was almost universally acknowledged as the strongest thirteen-ring sorceress in the material world before the appearance of the "Callers of the Gods." Even Miss Eden, not far away, felt that even with the destiny bestowed upon her by angels, she was still no match for her.
"The chairperson of the Witch Council seems to have become even stronger."
The counterfeit Ring of Fate provides negligible resistance against the real Ring of Fate, but thanks to the large number of 12th-ring warlocks and a few 13th-ring warlocks, the battlefield at the summit is barely in a stalemate.
Thus, amidst this delicate balance of power on the battlefield, Stella, escorted by Megan and Flora, finally became the first to reach the summit.
But their arrival not only meant that the people who had been supporting Stella in the third battlefield had returned to the top, but also that the enemies who had just besieged Stella had also come here.
The Infinite Serpent with eight heads spewed a dim yellow light at Stella, but Stella shook the Holy Bell, and a half-person-high shield formed by the pink light shining on the back of her hand blocked all the terrifying power.
There were no more people available to help her at the summit. Although Galina had been somewhat worried since Adele Isabella's unexpected appearance, she still shouted loudly at this moment:
"You guys go to the ruins first, rush towards the entrance, don't linger here!"
Dorothy and Lacey, who were originally standing at the entrance to the Path of Atonement, came up behind Stella the next moment, then put their hands on her shoulders and led her to the entrance.
Megan and Flora then used their magic to stop the monsters chasing them from the foot of the mountain, while Mr. Chris Evans, the “Master of Illusions” who created the church, and Mr. Minsk Toddlers, the “White Dove Messenger” who had recently come to support them from the battlefield on the mountainside, intercepted the enemies from an even lower position.
According to the original plan, once Stella reached the summit, her first task was to enter the ruins to find Upper Spring. She couldn't act alone, and given the current situation, the most suitable companions, Iluna and Emilia, were unable to leave. Therefore, Dorothy and Lacey decided to accompany her into the ruins.
Although Grace and Helen have not yet arrived, the day of the Red Butterfly has brought the princess and the writer's power to its peak. Each of them holds a curved arc, and with the power of the fragments of fate alone, they withstand the blowing sand.
With a leap forward, Lacey and Dorothy each grabbed one of Stella's shoulders, pulling her into the ruins. But the three of them disappeared for only a second before being sprang back from the entrance of the ruins.
Lacey and Dorothy shielded Stella behind them as they watched disgusting black pus flow from the entrance to the ruins. Then, amidst bubbling sounds, a human figure made of pus appeared, unsurprisingly bearing the Ring of Fate embedded in its chest.
"The fate of [filth]".
Stella, who originally lacked the power to interpret fate, now deciphered the meaning of the Ring of Fate from the swirling snowflakes:
"Do not touch that black pus, for it is similar to the power of the 'human pus' that Xia once spoke of; touching it will corrupt your soul."
The pitch-black pus had now blocked the entrance to the ruins, and then the droplets, controlled by the humanoid figure formed from the pus, splashed in all directions.
Lacey and Dorothy used magic to divide space, making the pus disappear, but the black, viscous liquid flowing from the ruins seemed endless, replenishing itself even as more disappeared.
"This black pus is secreted by Mr. Snake's body. It was this that initially polluted the underground water veins of the snow mountain."
Stella then spoke, shaking the sacred bell to bless everyone with good fortune, before manipulating the power of ice and snow to aid the princess and the writer in battle. The three were blocked at the entrance, while the attacks from the pseudo-ring beasts that subsequently arrived at the summit grew increasingly fierce.
Space at the summit was limited, so to facilitate the battle, the three girls gradually ascended the battlefield where they fought against the [filthy] black liquid until they arrived under the cracked starry sky.
The black filth gushing from the ruins had now accumulated to an astonishing amount, coalescing in the air into the shape of an octopus. As the ten-meter-tall octopus writhed its hundreds of tentacles, the foul winds turned even the flying snow black, and everyone on the battlefield atop the peak was affected by this power.
