Chapter 3795 Black Apple
With her own thoughts in mind, pure white light enveloped Ellie, and in little Leona's eyes, the figure of the white-robed girl with a cat perched on her head was reflected.
Ellie's human form wasn't very tall, about the same height as the red-haired princess. She walked barefoot in front of little Leanna, gently patted Leanna's forehead, and then the pure white sacred beast lay down on the bridge that was swaying in the wind. Ellie then mounted it.
So the current situation is that Ellie is riding on little Leona, with Mia perched on Ellie's head. Ellie, who has become a true "unicorn rider" in every way, is not used to this, but little Leona, who has stood up again, is very excited.
Ellie patted little Leona, and the little beast raised its horn, preparing to charge forward. Ellie nervously gripped the fur on its back.
"Be careful."
The second ring of destiny appeared, and the core spirit rune [Unicorn] shone brightly, enveloping the unicorn and its rider in pure white light. The next second, they transformed into arrow-like white beams of light, hurtling towards the black serpent coiled at the bridgehead.
The snake reacted extremely quickly, and at that moment, it slammed its head forward as if it were being launched.
The instant the two made contact, a white light seemed to pass through the entire snake's body. As little Leanna abruptly stopped on the snow, leaving two lines of hoofprints, the snake had vanished from the bridgehead behind them.
On little Leona's back, Ellie held a dirty, black apple. Since the Infinity Serpent was a beast born of a flawed fate, Ellie assumed it could also be transformed into an apple, and it seemed her idea was correct.
Even Ellie, who adores apples, found it hard to open her mouth when faced with the black apple, but she eventually ate it anyway. The cat above her meowed, clearly thinking Ellie was eating something dirty.
The apple that the Infinite Serpent had transformed into tasted terrible, and it didn't give Ellie a new spirit rune like she had when she ate the Curved Arc.
Ellie coughed lightly twice after eating the black apple, which worried little Leanna. However, at least the apple posed no harm to her; in fact, it even increased her spiritual energy limit slightly.
Thus, the little unicorn resolved its fate in this way, which can be considered another means of resolving fate's calamity besides completely eliminating the Infinite Serpent. While Ellie was eating the apple, the human candidates were still climbing upwards against the wind at the foot of the snow mountain. However, since the five of them started from different locations, they would not meet in the short term.
After defeating the Infinite Serpent, Ellie, who had eaten the rotten apple, desperately wanted to find a fresh one to rinse her mouth. But in the snowy mountains of winter, such an apple was nowhere to be found. Fortunately, as they continued their journey, they soon discovered a small pool of water in the mountains.
Feeling thirsty, Ellie had already transformed back into her unicorn form and, together with little Leona, lowered her head to drink from the small, unfrozen pool. As she gulped down the water, Ellie noticed that the reflection of the cat above her head was shaking violently on the surface.
She thought Mia was about to fall into the water, but when she looked up, she realized the ground was shaking. However, this time it wasn't an earthquake. Ellie looked around and confirmed that there were human ring mages fighting nearby, but they weren't people she knew, so she ignored them.
Then she heard a splash—little Leona, who was drinking water with her, had plunged headfirst into the water. Ellie blinked her bright blue eyes twice, then let out a terrified whimper, before diving into the water to rescue her friend.
Of course, Mia, who has never liked water, jumped off Ellie's head before Ellie entered the water and stood on the snow by the pool, watching the water bubble and gurgle.
The cat shook its body, its wagging tail causing all the snowflakes drifting nearby to evaporate. Its amber eyes spotted the strange-looking fish-like creature dragging little Leanna away from the bottom of the water, but the cat didn't like fish, so it wasn't interested in the creature.
Ellie caught up with the fish-monster underwater, and the ensuing underwater battle caused a slight tremor in the nearby snow, making the cat's whiskers quiver. But the cat ignored this and instead looked up at the night sky.
The starlight tonight is dazzling, but the chaotic fate has thrown the cosmos into disarray. At this moment, both eyes of the ouroboros are fixed on the struggle on this island; no one can now interpret fate through the stars.
Soon, two figures emerged from the pool. Mia disdainfully avoided the little unicorns, whose fur was soaking wet. Ellie and Leona quickly shook themselves off the water after getting ashore, Ellie still had a nearly transparent curved object in her mouth.
The fate of "sinking" was transformed into an apple. Ellie opened her mouth to take a bite, but hesitated for a moment, then pushed it towards little Leona, who was younger than her. Little Leona sniffed it, and after confirming that it was not an apple at all, she pushed it back. Only then did Ellie happily eat the apple as well.
The Ring of Fate appeared, and the first rune of the second ring whispered—[Sinking]—onto it. The new power didn't make Ellie complacent; she knew she still had a long way to go tonight. Of course, there were also many delicious apples waiting for her to find tonight. Having realized she possessed the power to transform curves into apples, the snow-capped mountains tonight were Ellie's apple hunting ground.
"Ang~"
With a soft call, she urged little Leona to continue. As she bent down to let Mia jump back up, an owl swiftly flew across the night sky.
"Ok?"
Miss Owl, who had only brought back news of Stella, spotted the two little unicorns below and the flame on Mia's tail almost instantly. Owls have excellent eyesight in the dark, and such unusual lights are easily noticed in the pitch-black snowy mountains.
However, instead of flying down to investigate, she circled above them once before continuing towards the coastline. A short while later, the owl flew into the banquet hall of the Radiant Messenger. After transforming back into human form, she looked at the image of Stella displayed in the center of the hall and couldn't help but say:
"It seems my intelligence is somewhat outdated."
Then she saw the sand table that was now covered with countless bright spots. After listening to Adelina, who was adjusting the remote video communication ritual at the edge of the sand table, explain the meaning of the bright spots on the sand table, Flora couldn't help but gasp in amazement:
"The situation on the sand table is even more serious than what I saw outside. This is only the first seal that has been broken; it's hard to imagine what it would be like when all the seals are broken."
Then she began to recount what had just happened:
"There's one more thing. When I came back, I found Ellie and Mia near the mountainside. I don't know why little Leona seemed to be with them too. Of course, it could also be other little unicorns. I was too high up to confirm their identities."
Adelina finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"A battle has broken out on the mountaintop as well, but Miss Sylvia brought news that little Leanna has disappeared from the mountaintop. Although we guessed that she might be with Ellie, we were still worried for quite a while."
So what's the current situation with the candidates?
Bella answered the question:
"With the power of the relics and Stella's performance, we have basically determined the story of Act VII: the candidates, under the control of the card player, break thirteen seals on the snow mountain. Breaking these seals will release Mr. Snake, but will also have an impact on him."
The high-ringed sorcerers of the church and academy have now gone to the snowy mountains to intercept the pseudo-ringed beasts and various evil artifacts and relics summoned by Mr. Snake, but the main focus is still on intercepting the 'ring bearers'. The goal is to get as many candidates, rather than Mr. Snake's followers, as possible to break the seal.
"Can you pinpoint the locations of the thirteen seals?"
Flora asked again, and Bella shook her head:
"These thirteen seals probably only appeared after the seventh act officially began. Both we and Mr. Snake are trying to find them using the [Ouroboros Eye]. Right now, we're interfering with each other, and neither of us can pinpoint their exact location. But if we can buy the candidates enough time, they should be able to find the exact locations of those seals."
Flora finally understood the situation, and Luvia gave her new arrangements. Matilda had already placed a basket of apples on the table.
"Flora, could you please go and find Ellie and the others again? Try to get this basket of apples to them. I want to test how much influence we can have on the characters on the Seventh Act's stage. If the apples are delivered, we'll provide Stella with direct assistance."
Flora, remember to stay in owl form. If anything seems amiss, retreat immediately. Your safety is your top priority.
"no problem."
So the snow-white owl grabbed the basket and flew away. Half an hour after Flora left, it was 10 p.m. on Friday night. The island area at the foot of the snow mountain was completely shrouded in thick fog, while the area above the foot of the mountain, although not foggy, was already experiencing a blizzard that made it difficult for the owl to fly.
Various colored lights erupted throughout the snow-capped mountains, and the sandbox images transmitted from the Radiant Messenger guided the Ring Warlocks in battle across the mountains.
Commands were issued from the Radiant Messenger, precisely directing the Great Witches and their teams to the most suitable positions. The battle on the mountaintop temporarily subsided, and two of the Ring Sorcerers gathered there even went down to assist in the fighting.
