Chapter 3729 Awakening of the Fate Ring and Awakening of the Humanoid Form

The power displayed by the "Fool's" Ring of Fate at its navel was greater than any other Ring of Fate present, while the ouroboros on its forehead spun with a terrifying destructive force no less than that of the black serpent statue it had encountered on its first visit to the temple.

"am I pretty?"

A beautiful woman with black tears streaming down her face and her eyes closed asked a question. Her weak, hoarse voice reminded Iluna of a certain "mermaid" she disliked. The way the woman raised her arm to touch her face made Iluna feel even more déjà vu.

The body of the "Lustful One" naturally radiated a soft light, but that light was blood-red. Under the "Fate Stance," its power had already overwhelmed Iluna, who was currently in poor condition.

Iluna replied:

"You're beautiful, but what exactly did you just do?"

That weak, hoarse voice answered the question, and black tears continued to flow:

“I loved him, but fate could only bind our love together. Now I have devoured him, and we are forever one. My fate is now inextricably linked with his, and this is the ultimate destiny I want to achieve. Therefore, I have grasped the truth of fate, and I have become more ‘complete’.”

"You mean, you've completely fulfilled the fate of the 'fool'? You achieved your goal through unconventional methods? If you really believe that's what you're after, yes, I admit it's quite clownish."

Besides that, Iluna had a lot to say, but she took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the words in her heart. The small "star dewdrop" that she had tied to her wrist like a bracelet fell into her palm, and the light blade that appeared on her thumb cut her palm, and then the star dewdrop entered the wound.

As her blood circulated, the power of the stars and Shad's blood gradually dissolved, and Iluna could clearly feel her condition getting stronger with each breath.

Although she had withdrawn from her "Fate Stance," Iluna felt confident she could fight another battle. Her past experience fighting powerful enemies had made her accustomed to the fact that her foes always had multiple forms. So Iluna gestured for Stella to move away, and as she took a deep breath, crimson lightning crackled once more on the tips of her hair.

"I have fulfilled my destiny, while you have not yet seen your own heart and future. You cannot defeat me. Even if you still possess power, without reaching the end of your destiny, your every move will still be bound by fate."

I hereby declare: I have reached the end of my destiny, I have fulfilled my fate, the beginning and the end are intertwined, and the self-consuming soul is complete.

The monster, with a human body and a snake's head, transformed from its two arms into four, and the black ouroboros swimming on its forehead spun even faster. Steam rose from behind it, and amidst strange chimes and whistles, a giant hammer struck, and a brass-colored life ring appeared behind it.

Without undergoing an awakening ceremony, it instantly transformed into a Ring Sorcerer, and its Life Ring level was already nine rings the moment it appeared.

Iluna and Stella, who witnessed this scene, felt as if they had learned some information about the origin of the "Ring Sorcerer" profession from this incident, but they had no time to think about it in the face of a powerful enemy.

They lit up a total of three Rings of Fate, and the Red Butterfly sisters' clones returned the [Night Watcher] that had fallen into the distance to Iluna's hands.

The silver sword was raised, the zither music began again, and the woman with the weak, hoarse voice made her life ring fully emerge from the steam, the core spirit rune "Serpent" lit up, and then—

Click!

A clear cracking sound came from the massive body of the "Lustful One." Iluna initially thought it was the sound of some strange power being used, but she soon noticed that cracks had also appeared on the newly revealed nine-ringed life ring.

"Hmm? What kind of move is this now?"

The girls quickly realized that this wasn't a trick, but rather that their opponent had genuinely encountered a problem. The cracking sounds grew increasingly frequent, and cracks soon covered the enormous monster's life ring and body. These weren't physical cracks, but conceptual fissures appearing throughout the entire existence of the "Eros."

"what!"

The shrieking sound erupted again, and the excruciating pain seemed to tear the soul apart.

The enormous monster covered its shattered, beautiful face, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, its body disintegrating into various shapes and fragments amidst cracking sounds.

At this moment, it no longer possessed the strange and sacred beauty it had before. Even though its body and soul were shattered for unknown reasons, the cycle of fate of [Resurrection] remained. It had not died; its body and soul continued to cycle through shattering and rebirth.

This cycle happened so fast that Iluna even saw Baron Samir's face appearing and disappearing during the forced tearing and reconstruction of the other's body and soul.

There were more and more things she didn't understand since just now, but Iluna's heterochromatic eyes seemed to see a faint, curved shape within that mass of flesh.

"Did Xia De preordained another fate?"

But Iluna wasn't the type of person like Shad who had to uncover all the secrets; she believed this was probably preparation Shad had made in advance.

"Great opportunity! Sun Gun!"

Her spirit had recovered, but the intense fatigue in her body had not subsided at all. However, Iluna still endured the discomfort and resonated with fate once again, entering the [Fate Stance]. She could not transform the [Night Watch] into a lightning spear for the time being, but this did not prevent her from simply using the sword as a ritual sword, and using it to cast the [Sunlight Spear] again.

The crimson lightning struck the grotesque mass of writhing creatures on the ground, whose exact shape was no longer discernible. However, a pale hand emerging from the mass of writhing flesh grasped a black ring called "The Fool," which actually pulled the Sunlight Gun towards the center of the ring. The crimson lightning was then directly absorbed by the ring.

Stella immediately cast a spell to help, summoning wind and snow to rush towards the mass of flesh. She tried to reduce its activity by freezing it, but it didn't seem to be very effective.

With a snap, space was torn apart out of thin air by the fluttering red butterflies, and the flesh and blood in the space were ripped in two as space itself disintegrated.

However, as the ring formed by the black snake with its tail rose again, the mass of flesh and blood that was still rapidly splitting and regenerating was completely absorbed into the center of the floating ring.

The Fate Rings of [The Fool] and [Resurrection] floated respectively in front of and behind the now tall, ouroboros-like black ring. Iluna had already understood:

"It can't attack right now, it can only passively recover. Although we don't know what's wrong with it, now is the best opportunity, let's attack together!"

This time, instead of using the Sunlight Gun, Iluna unusually used [Night Watch] directly, wrapping lightning around the sword before leaping up and thrusting it at the black ring in mid-air.

Stella lacked such power; she continued to resonate with the fate of [Ice and Snow] to cast her spell. Grace and Helen's clones maintained their red butterfly forms, and swarms of butterflies flew towards the black ring of the ouroboros, gradually diminishing its light.

"Ang~"

The cry of a unicorn could be heard, but it wasn't the unicorns who guarded the city and town with the elves, nor was it Emilia and Little Leona returning. It was Ellie who returned here with the curved shape of "death" in her mouth.

It hadn't been gone long, but the change in the situation upon its return left the little unicorn completely bewildered. Nevertheless, it dropped the curved arc at Stella's feet, who immediately picked it up, mounted Ellie, and charged towards the ring in the air.

She gripped the curved ring as if it were a black dagger, just as she had before. But this time, as the black ouroboros ring vibrated with a hum, the black light that erupted from it was blocked by Iluna, but Ellie and Stella were thrown back by the force of the impact. Fortunately, the Red Butterflies caught them and prevented them from being injured.

"Hurry up, this monster seems to be recovering from its splitting and reforming state!"

Iluna shouted a warning, and the tip of the Night Watcher's sword had already pierced into the black ring. Combined with the corrosive power of the Red Butterfly twins, cracks had appeared on the black ring, but they couldn't harm the writhing mass of flesh at its center until it completely shattered.

Now, the faces of Valentine Halonen and Baron Samir keep appearing on the flesh and blood, and just looking at Iluna makes the scene disgusting.

So the white-haired girl got up and picked up the [Death] Arc again, mounted Ellie, and charged towards the ouroboros black ring for the second time. But even with the protection of [Ice and Snow] Destiny, her low level meant she was still blasted away by the power of the black ring once more.

"hold head high!"

This time, however, Ellie managed to withstand the power of the black ring. The little unicorn raised its horn in the air, and the silver moonlight shone from it, tinging its snow-white fur with silver frost. Instead of catching Stella as she fell, it bit the black arc that had slipped from Stella's hand, then accelerated through the air and slammed into the very center of the black ring.

The buzzing ring emitted rings of black light, attempting to knock it away, but the little unicorn struggled forward in the air until it shook its head and suddenly thrust the black "Death" arc towards the "Resurrection" ring floating in front of the ouroboros black ring.

hum~

Sensing a deadly threat, the Black Ring unleashed its power once more, this time nearly shoving Iluna away. Out of the corner of Iluna's eye, she saw Ellie being knocked away again before she could succeed, caught by the Red Butterflies amidst a scream and slammed to the ground.

Stella rushed over to check on Ellie, while the little unicorn quickly rose from the ground. It looked up at the black ring above and saw Iluna's powerful figure in human form.

Ellie suddenly understood what power she should use now. The power she gained from establishing a fateful connection with the butterflies was activated, and the pale red scar on the little unicorn's neck lit up again.

Ellie raised her horn, and in a pure white light, her own shadow appeared on the ground.

This time, Stella finally saw it—

Ellie's shadow was not a unicorn; it had hands and feet and a slender figure. It was the silhouette of a human girl.
