Chapter 3720 The Combined Attack of Stars and Moon
The world on the edge of life and death constructed by the angelic relic [Veil of Obscurity] is far less terrifying than the [Gap Between Life and Death], and it is also somewhat inferior to the ordinary edge of life and death. This is very likely due to the suppression of Sister Daphne's power.
Under that completely dark sky, Shad answered:
"This world needs to be closer to death before I can make the half-sunken silver moon reveal its phantom. Let's not discuss that now; the eccentrics here seem to have other destinies."
The world where life and death intersect certainly affects the living. Although the ring sorcerers here are generally of a high level, Shad still needs to keep an eye on Ellie's situation.
However, Ellie only seemed to be a little uncomfortable with this world at first. Now that the effects of the relic have stabilized, she is radiating pure white light and stands majestically behind Shad as if she is about to do something big.
After enough shadows had gathered from the seabed, the giant mermaid's shadow finally broke through the surface of the water after the ring sorcerers had reunited.
There shouldn't have been any weather changes here, but black raindrops began to fall in a pattering patter. Even though the world was suppressing all sound at this moment, when that twenty-meter-tall "mermaid" stood against the pure black night sky, the violent shrieking sound still made Shad's ears hurt.
The "mermaid" was not as beautiful as Shad had imagined. Its entire lower body, including its tail, was completely rotten, and even beneath the pustules and lividity, one could vaguely see the bare bones.
As for the human upper body, although it was unclothed, it also lacked any sense of allure. Filthy, black snake scales were unevenly distributed across its body, and upon closer inspection, these scales were clearly pieced together from the twisted limbs of the fish-men and water ghosts who had just been manipulated.
Black raindrops falling on the glowing Ellie immediately emitted black smoke. The world on the edge of life and death was being corroded by another extremely terrifying force, and was sliding towards complete death.
Shad's eyes fell on the area below the giant "mermaid's" neck, where black light formed an inverted arc. Even without touching that arc, the power displayed by the "corpse mermaid" at that moment already revealed the fate that arc represented:
"Death Curve".
Shad reminded those around him:
"Is it a coincidence that the place where the [Veil of Obscurity] unfolds has the arc of death? Although the relic severed its mental link with the outside world, it also strengthened the power of death. Beware of instant-death abilities."
"Is it just an arc?"
The Nightmare Witch asked Shad for confirmation, and Shad nodded firmly:
"Yes. In that case, the seven points will likely have different curves, but this at least shows that even the snake can't produce seven different rings of fate."
The mermaid's long hair, which was flowing in the black rain, was clearly made up of black snakes. After it officially appeared, hundreds of snakes made of long hair pointed downwards, and then black rays swept across the area.
The emerald green shield formed by the divine light of the Church of Nature immediately blocked the dense black light. Before the second wave of attacks arrived, Daniste and Miss Ingram, the Nightmare Witch, flew into the sky against the black rain. The Red Moon was lifted up by the Administrator and fell down again, while the black Nightmare materialized, and a Nightmare summon, almost the same size as the giant "mermaid," appeared in the rain.
No matter how Shad looked at it, it reminded him of the "Cursed Tree" that had appeared in the Vista Forest.
From the black sea, enormous black serpents emerged. While two thirteen-ring female sorcerers grappled with the giant mermaid in the air, they engaged in battle with the other ring sorcerers. The black tide reflected various magical colors, and torrential rain drenched them, giving the entire battlefield a sense of a disaster story.
“There’s no time to waste. Death is our domain too. Grace, Helen, become one with me. I need your strength. This is not the real world. It doesn’t matter how much destruction we cause.”
"No problem, sir."
The twins' clasped-hands shadow re-entered Shad's body. Before he acted, Miss Sabel asked:
“Is there anything I can do?”
"Can you speed up time so I can reach a higher position in a shorter time?"
The sorceress, who used an unknown power to make all the surrounding raindrops disappear, laughed:
"Of course, then please take my hand."
As if she were about to dance with Shad, she grabbed Shad's hand with one hand and wrapped her other arm around his waist. Then, in what appeared to be only a few seconds to outsiders, Shad was propelled higher into the pure black night by the sorceress who had accelerated herself.
Here, it's impossible to even pinpoint the exact location of the 100-meter-tall mermaid; you can only rely on your senses to locate the target.
"No problem, now it's my turn."
Shad gripped the Night Watchman in his right hand, the pure silver moonlight clinging to the blade until it formed the outer shell of a silver moonlight greatsword.
A red moonlight greatsword appeared in her left hand, the light of the Red Butterfly sisters attached to the sword, and the blonde "sorceress" could clearly see the light and shadow of butterflies appearing on the two-handed greatsword.
"You want to use the power of a falling star, is that it?"
Miss Sabel asked, as if she really knew everything.
Shade shook his head:
"Even from a high enough position, it's still too much to expect to defeat the opponent directly with this one extraordinary technique. I've been thinking about the synergistic effects between different extraordinary techniques, and now I want to try a new idea."
He held two greatswords, each possessing different top-tier angelic-level relic powers, in his left and right hands respectively. Then he crossed his forearms in front of his body, and finally raised his arms high.
"Moonlight Slash - Fourth Form!"
In an instant, a giant cross of moonlight, composed of two arcs of red and silver light, swooped down. Miss Sabel flew down to chase after it, and thus she clearly saw the crucial change in the falling "Moonlight Slash" in mid-air.
"Miraculous Technique - Falling Star Strike!"
This extraordinary technique can only be performed by the main body when falling downwards, and the fourth form of Moonlight Slash is indeed transformed from Shad's main body.
The spell was executed quite smoothly, but the falling two-colored moonlight cross did not transform into a star shape. Instead, it seemed to pause in mid-air for a moment when the spell was cast. Then, the two-colored arc of light expanded its wings, accelerated a second time, and continued to fall downwards at a speed that the "sorcerer" could hardly catch up with.
To those close to the sea, the cross symbol that suddenly appeared in the night sky was growing larger and larger. As it approached the sea, the wings of the moonlit cross were already over a hundred meters long.
Don't let it get away!
Daniste and Miss Ingram intensified their attack on the giant mermaid, who, facing the deadly danger of falling from above, preferred to be bombarded head-on by the sorcery of the thirteen-ring sorceresses rather than move around in the sea to dodge.
Just then, the real mermaids, who had been sent by Sylvie to follow Shad but were slightly slower than Ellie and had been lingering in the northern waters of the "island," emerged from the sea.
The mermaid girls, with their human torsos and fish tails, sang loudly in the black rain while casting spells, controlling the seawater to become their companions, transforming it into chains to restrict the "mermaids'" movements.
They didn't gain much time, but it was enough. The large red and silver cross had already reached the top of the "Mermaid's" head, and the falling "Moonlight Slash," thanks to the power of the "Falling Star Strike," had already sealed off space and time at this height.
The next moment, the moonlight, in a grand cross, pressed down, cleaving the rotting "mermaid's" body like a flaming sword cutting through butter. The two intersecting beams of moonlight even imprinted themselves on the black seawater, lingering for a long time.
Even the sorceresses with thirteen rings had to dodge the power of this attack, and Daniste even thought that this attack had some of the style of her teacher.
After the "mermaid's" body was cut into four pieces like a flower and melted away, in addition to a large amount of black blood merging into the increasingly silent sea, thousands of tiny black snakes emerged from the body and swam away in all directions.
On the sea surface, at the center of that bright, cross-shaped beam of moonlight, Shad, now back in his true form, knelt on one knee on the water, gripping his sword with both hands and thrusting the blade downwards:
"Moon's Prayer - Sanctuary Halo!"
hum!
The Night Watch trembled, and then the silver moonlight spread from the sword tip to the water's surface, dissolving the small black snakes in concentric circles. Further away, the mermaid maidens surrounded the area, driving the snakes away from the water and preventing them from escaping Shad's magical range.
"You all go and help remove that snake tooth, I'll stay here."
Miss Sabel, who had just landed, spoke to the two thirteen-ring sorceresses. Although she didn't recognize her, the Nightmare Witch subconsciously assumed that since she was with the Summoner, she was probably a great witch. So she nodded and flew towards the island with Danist.
The black rain stopped after the "mermaid" died. Having confirmed he had eliminated all the black snakes, Shad stood up from the sea and looked ahead at the increasingly silent waters:
"While the power of death may strengthen the arc within your body, you seem unaware that death can also strengthen my power."
Clutching her right shoulder, a disheveled Valentin Halonin also rose from the black water. She had reverted to her normal human form, but white smoke and dust emanated from her entire body.
The arc of death resonated with the ever-clearer death, turning her into a part of death as well; she was about to lose control of her body.
