Chapter 3727 The Devilish Nature and the Gathering of Candidates
Iluna fought with increasing ease. Originally, she needed to consciously control the lightning, but later on, in addition to wielding the crimson lightning spear in her hand, the lightning that burst out from around her jumped almost in accordance with her instincts.
Currently, due to the absence of a [Hero], Iluna has not yet truly achieved the state of "Three Fates," but she has a vague feeling that the power she currently possesses, which seems to allow her to control everything with her own thoughts, should be a power that only "demigods" in their normal state can possess.
Shad heard from Laplace Howard that in ancient times, mortals who mastered the three destinies could become angels, but that was only an influence on the level of destiny. In terms of power, the three destinies directly pointed to the essence and future of mortals:
"Hope, punishing evil, heroism—will this be my path to demigodhood?"
Her long brown hair swayed with Iluna's movements, and every collision between her tall figure and the human-headed, snake-bodied monster was a clash of red and black.
Iluna already had a superior destiny level with her two rings, and with the help of Stella with her "one ring" and Iluna's own unique balancing talent, it was clear that the crimson lightning had the upper hand in this battle.
If it weren't for [Resurrection] constantly repairing the monster's body, Iluna believed she would have ended the battle long ago to help Shad. But even so, she wasn't worried about losing, because the effectiveness of [Resurrection] was clearly decreasing with each passing moment.
"If I can't finish you off in one go, I'll kill you several more times. I want to see how long you can last."
The crimson lightning that roared under the black night sky grew increasingly terrifying. Although the balanced chosen one was not as powerful as the other chosen ones at the start, her progress was not slow.
Meanwhile, Shad, who had joined the battle at the edge of the pit with Emilia, didn't forget to keep an eye on the situation inside. Although the doctor had the [Lucky] Arc, which should be enough to deal with the heavily wounded demon alone, Shad was still worried that something might go wrong.
Fortunately, when he pressed his right hand to the ground and used [Moon Prayer - Sanctuary Aura] to briefly clear the area again, a black raven landed on his shoulder from the sky.
This is not Dr. Schneider's true form; the doctor's true form would not dare approach Shad, who is currently performing divine magic.
"I have already devoured the essence of the demon. I will temporarily keep your flammable shell, which is a rusty broken sword. But there is something you need to be careful about."
The red-eyed raven whispered in Shad's ear:
"That demon's essence was incomplete. Before entering the battlefield, it split off a part of its essence."
As Shad wielded his Moonlight Greatsword, he asked:
"It can still appear?"
"No, no, of course not. Even if a demon's essence splits, there won't be two demons. You can think of it as it splitting off a portion of its core power. The weapon's demon has clearly perished; it simply gave a portion of its power to someone else before this battle even began."
The crow cawed, its eyes helping Shad keep an eye on the surroundings:
"Although I made thorough preparations to deal with the demon, I am still somewhat uneasy about how easily it was eliminated this time. It wanted to find a weapon to break the seal, so there's no reason for it not to have a backup plan. However, because its essence is incomplete, it will probably take me some time to decipher its memories."
But I can guarantee that Blackhand - Tifreon will never reappear. As for its fragmented essence, it's most likely in the hands of the Serpent you mentioned.
The dark shield appeared out of thin air, but this time it also included the two witch followers around Shad. The range of the [Nightfall Sign] was expanded tenfold with the addition of Lady White's power.
The shield blocked the attack that came from who-knows-where. Before the girls could even thank them, they lifted their skirts and joined the attack on the "pseudo-ring beast."
A silver arrow fell from the sky; it was Megan drawing her bow and shooting an arrow mid-air. She saw Shad communicating with a strange raven and decided to clear out the surrounding enemies for him.
"After Blackhand-Teefron died, didn't you find any other blood on it?"
Shad asked again, and the crow shook its head:
"No, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to handle the blood, but thankfully nothing happened in the end."
"What if the demon gave its blood to Mr. Snake too? In our final battle with Mr. Snake, what if it drinks his blood after being defeated and then fights us again?"
The crow continued to shake its head:
"This time, seeing the power of that blood up close, I have a deeper understanding of it. Although the House of the False Man and the stars you mentioned were corrupted by the blood before, its essence is that the Black Hand - Tifreon - used the blood to enhance his own power and then used himself as a medium to corrupt other beings."
Aside from evil spirits and demons, nothing can directly bear the power of that blood, not even fate. Now that Black Hand-Tifron is gone, its fragmented essence alone is insufficient to serve as a medium. So rest assured, your enemy won't gain an additional 'demon form' as a result.”
But then Xia De asked:
"What if a second demon appears on this island?"
"This"
The crow was somewhat uncertain:
"Could I be that unlucky? Besides, demons don't usually get along well with each other; they're very wary of meeting their own kind."
Dr. Schneider's power could not be easily exposed to others, so after dealing with the demon's power in the pit, he did not join the battle to help Shad, but instead met up with the absent priest Augustus.
After informing Shad of the news, the raven disappeared onto Shad's shoulder. Shad watched from afar as Miss Asberg cast a spell to freeze the giant black goat with curved horns into ice crystals. Then, Luvia, wielding the Fool's talisman, used some unknown magic, and the image of the Fool's talisman appeared on the ice crystal. The body of the "Pseudo-Ring Beast" began to dissolve, gradually revealing its destiny.
“What kind of power is this? Luvia’s list wasn’t even in it when I looked at the ‘Handbook of Destiny’ yesterday.”
He transformed into the Grand Cross of Moonlight, carving a dazzling trail of light across the chaotic battlefield. Then, he leaped into the sky, before transforming into a star and plummeting downwards. His spirit was still relatively abundant after all this fighting. After resting a while in normal combat conditions, Shad would go check on Iluna's situation.
With the "Lustful Ones" withdrawing from the battlefield and the demons' defeat, coupled with the increasing arrival of human reinforcements, the situation at the edge of the giant crater is shifting. Meanwhile, in the damaged half of the snowfield, the battle of the Fate Holders is nearing its end.
Crimson lightning pierced through the body of the "Eros" once more, and the expression on Valentine Halonen's face was no longer as relaxed as it had been at the beginning.
By repeatedly using the ring formed by the black snake floating behind her, her beautiful face increasingly resembled a snake's face. If Iluna weren't focused on the battle, she might even have wanted to mock her, saying that she was almost losing her nose.
However, the deepening of her serpentine form also made her power even stronger. The fate of the apocalypse endowed her with unparalleled destructive power, but this power was still insufficient in the face of the chosen ones who held the reins of destiny.
Stella, riding Ellie in the air, never landed, knowing that going down would only cause trouble for Iluna.
The white-haired girl didn't actually have much ambition to compete for the "star position." In fact, she was quite satisfied with her current situation: she had reconciled with her tribe, become stronger, had a better relationship with her teacher, and had even met Shad.
Therefore, she didn't feel jealous when she saw Iluna "showing off her prowess" below. Instead, she hoped that Iluna could continue to be so capable in solving all problems.
However, because they were flying very high, Stella and Ellie noticed someone approaching the edge of the battlefield earlier than Iluna.
The cultists were of course aware that the fifth act was about to end. Even though they suffered heavy losses in the fourth act due to the sudden appearance of the demon, it did not mean that they had completely given up their fight for the right to be chosen.
Thus, at this critical moment when the battlefield of the final battle entered a stalemate, the [Cult of Misfortune] and the [Society of Oneness], which were already in a cooperative state, reappeared.
However, at least this time they had learned their lesson. Only two candidates appeared at the edge of the basin, looking in shock at the clash of lightning and black light within it: "Father" and Katrin Schwartz, a follower of doom.
"Is this the power of the chosen ones?"
No amount of inquiry can compare to seeing it with one's own eyes; the powerful strength displayed by the balanced chosen ones at this moment fascinates them.
Just before they stepped onto the battlefield, Ellie, carrying Stella, blocked their way. And coincidentally, Mr. Zarathustra, an elder from the Prophet's Guild sent to assess the situation, and Mr. Mortis, Shad's friend, also appeared at that moment.
"Ang~"
Ellie cried softly, her hooves pounding the ground scorched by the thunder. The five candidates for destiny, the protagonist candidates on the stage, had now completed their first collective meeting.
The moment they saw each other, even though most of them had never met before, they understood each other's identities.
"You want to help those who indulge in lust?"
Mr. Mortis, wearing a clown mask, asked the question, while the "priest" with the most distinctive hairstyle replied:
"Of course not. The story of Act Five is about to end, and before the curtain closes for the scene transition, we can actually offer some help. Although everyone is vying for the most dazzling spot on stage, aren't we all standing opposite Mr. Snake?"
Stella, holding a violin in one hand and a ring in the other, was at her tallest point because she was sitting on Ellie's back.
“You just want to disrupt the battle over there. I know you all have your own methods and believe you can deal with the Lover in the current situation, but the Chosen One of Balance has completely suppressed her, and there is no need for any other help here.”
