Chapter 3667 Summoning Dust
Since the seemingly formidable methods of this nine-ringed woman had failed, Xia De decided to retaliate without hesitation. Without the obstruction of those troublesome threads, he transformed into moonlight once more, this time piercing directly through the woman's body.
But when the ring sorcerer, who had been cleaved into four pieces, fell to the ground, his body transformed into a large mass of black threads that scattered into the snow.
"Not the real body?"
"It should be some kind of incarnation ability, and it was never the original body from the beginning."
Flora, who was falling from the sky, said that as for Claire, she had already tracked down the escaped cultists and should have brought back results soon.
As for the Ominous Wolf Pack, they didn't leave after the two groups of humans started fighting. Instead, they stood together watching the humans struggle, their eerie blue eyes containing emotions that humans couldn't understand. Even after the cultists of the Doom Order had all left, they remained, standing high in the snow, continuing to watch Shad.
The wolves in the pack had translucent, milky-white bodies that glowed faintly in the blizzard night. The one in the center was clearly the alpha wolf; it licked its paw as it watched Shad. Shad hesitated for a moment, then transformed into a silver wolf in the snow.
The owl spread its wings and soared high into the sky, where it saw the alpha wolf of the pack break away from its companions and walk towards Shad Wolf.
The alpha wolf was at least three times larger than the silver wolf with its beautiful fur. The two wolves stopped two meters apart in the snow. The silver wolf was glowing, and the spirit wolf was also glowing.
Flora had expected both wolves to howl, but they seemed to simply stare at each other and glow. About two minutes later, the larger spirit wolf turned and left, joining its remaining companions and running into the depths of the snowy night.
"what's the situation?"
The owl landed on Shad's shoulder again after he returned to human form. Shad turned his gaze away from the direction of the vanished wolf pack:
"I just remembered that after my last time adventure, for some reason, my transformed form is now equivalent to my original form. So, I was wondering if these wolves would be more polite to me if I were a wolf."
Miss Owl, perched on Shad's shoulder, said quite rationally:
"But those who became relics did not treat humans differently because of their race, except for Grace and Helen."
“I had the same concern, but I tried it just now. The alpha wolf was quite friendly to me. I always felt that it didn’t treat me like an ordinary wolf. However, most relics don’t have the ability to communicate with normal creatures. When you saw it glowing, it was actually giving me all of its whispering elements and spirit.”
The spirit itself contains information.
"The wolf pack wanted to thank us. The information they shared with me was quite mixed, but the gist of it was that the humans just now wanted to use their power to find people."
Shad used magic to collect the contaminated spirit dust that the cultists had failed to take from the snow. No matter how strong the wind was, it couldn't blow it away; the essence of the spirit dust was soul, and only soul could touch it.
Shad asked:
"You know of a peculiar secret method that can summon souls from dust, right?"
Flora is the great witch of death; she knows it all too well:
"Of course I know. This is the core ability of the Necromancer, a branch of necromancers, and one of the few legal directions for soul research in modern times. However, the Church still prohibits any act of summoning humanoid beings such as humans, elves, and dwarves and binding their souls as summoned creatures. Summoning the souls of beasts usually doesn't have much combat power. So that's what the cultists were thinking."
"Yes, contact with these kinds of spirits can cause misfortune to strike, but believers in misfortune have plenty of ways to deal with it. The alpha wolf just now said that since we saved them, it allows us to use the power of these soul dusts, and now these soul dusts no longer carry the wolf pack's curse of misfortune."
A total of 8 wolves were killed. When Shad and his team arrived, three portions of spirit dust had already been taken by the cultists, leaving 5 portions remaining.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the followers of misfortune probably want to use these strange wolves to find that woman."
Flora immediately became interested:
"Leave this to me. I can also summon spirits. Although I only summoned some ferocious beasts to protect myself when I was a weaker apprentice, as a necromancer who has been to the dead, I dare to summon the spirits of relics."
Since arriving at Fatummst Island, she has felt that she can't play a very big role in this story, which makes Flora, who spent the entire autumn of last year traveling with Shad through the Vesta Woods, very uncomfortable.
"However, I've never heard of the [Ominous Wolf Pack] being used to find things before."
"Be careful when you conduct the experiment; after all, it's the remains of a relic."
Shad then warned them, and the two waited a while longer. Claire returned from the snowstorm, bringing back a lot of interesting information:
“Those cultists who escaped met up in the west and then left. I followed them all the way, and do you know what I found out? That woman with the nine rings earlier is the candidate supported by the Doom believers.”
Shad was not surprised by this; being able to manipulate the threads created by angelic relics to that extent was not something an ordinary ring mage could do.
"They didn't talk much along the way, just complaining about being dragged out to do missions in this weather, and complaining that the woman herself never left the base, only using an avatar to appear, while they had to run around so hard and face attacks at any time."
I originally planned to check where they were hiding on the island, but there were too many ring mages coming to meet them, and Shad said there was no need to clash with them, so I didn't continue following them.
However, I overheard their purpose: they wanted to use the power of the wolves to investigate the trajectory of fate on the island. This sounds abstract, but the gist is that the wolves spreading misfortune are very sensitive to fate, and after the great defeat in the Fallen Star Beast incident, those followers of misfortune were making two preparations.
While continuing to participate in the story, they also attempted to search the island for possible Arcs or even Rings of Fate. They seemed to believe that there must be other ways to obtain Arcs or Rings of Fate on the island, hoping to acquire more dice in the process.
"So it wasn't about that woman after all. But Xia De has been on this island for so long, and the only ring he obtained locally is far away in the depths of the sea. Is there really a frozen destiny on this island?"
Flora was skeptical, while Shad offered another possibility:
"It didn't exist before, but it might now. The chaos of the elements has caused many strange things to appear on the island. Perhaps some relics or even more bizarre entities truly possess a frozen destiny. Now that the pack of wolves carrying misfortune has appeared, we will likely encounter even more terrifying things in the future."
Flora, be careful when you use those spirit dust to summon the wolf pack. Even if you find a clue, investigate with others; never act alone.
"Shad, you seem to be the one who acts alone the most often, right?"
They did not linger in the snowy night. After returning to the village to report their safety to the village chief and priest, they went back to the ship. Although the information gathered on this trip was vague, it at least confirmed the identity of the candidate for the Order of Doom.
While it is indeed troublesome for the opponent not to appear in their true form, it is not uncommon for them to attack the true form by using clones or avatars.
However, it was already late, and Shad didn't discuss these matters with the witches any further. After saying goodbye to everyone, he wearily tossed aside his glass slipper and returned home. The night in Tobesk was free of snowflakes; the city, filled with slowly shifting smog, remained peaceful.
The warm, comforting light shone in the cozy home as Dorothy awaited Shad's return. When he came up the stairs to the second floor, the blonde, blue-eyed girl stood before the fireplace, smiling gently at him.
"Welcome home, Shad. You've had a good day."
The girls' comfort always helped Shad shake off his weariness, and this was especially evident in Dorothy.
So when the stranger woke up on Wednesday morning, he was once again full of energy, ready to greet the new day. At the breakfast table, he praised Dorothy's cooking, thought about the past and the future, and truly looked forward to the day when everything was over and he could finally get some rest.
And the information Luvia brought yesterday was indeed accurate. Early that morning, the church sent people to Kyle-Todd Town to invite the "Caller of Gods" to the city to discuss some matters:
“It’s not that we’re disrespecting Your Excellency the Summoner, but we’ve obtained some crucial intelligence. For the sake of information security, we would appreciate it if Your Excellency the Summoner could come to the city in person.”
This was to be expected, so Claire and Vanessa followed Shad again, and the three of them left the town together with the group that had come to invite Shad.
Watching their departing figures from the dock, Sylvie stood on the deck of the large ship, feeling a deep sense of unease.
Although it's still snowing today, the snowfall has lessened considerably, and it seems the terrible weather is finally coming to a temporary end. Just then, footsteps sounded, and Miss Elizabeth arrived beside the Great Witch of Light:
"A little unwilling, aren't you?"
The boat girl and Sylvie spent a lot of time together, so Sylvie didn't mind revealing her thoughts to this friend:
"Of course I'm not reconciled. Apart from Galina, I was the first one to arrive. If I were strong enough, I would be the one going out with him now."
The dragon's tail swept across the deck behind the boat girl, and she was curious as to why the other party would have such an idea:
"Not strong enough? Sevier, so what exactly is your goal?"
Even the great witch, who had had several close encounters with Shad, felt a little embarrassed by such a straightforward question:
"Is that even a question? Of course, it's because she's closer to Shad."
