Chapter 3403 Tomb King
Everyone's footsteps were getting heavier, but the most relaxed person in the group was not the beagle, but Mia.
It was hidden in Xia De's pocket, which was equivalent to Xia De carrying a "weight" to move forward. But the weight of the cat here seemed to be lighter than its real weight. If you think about it carefully, this cat was lost after it was born, and was soon found and fostered in a pet store, and then was kidnapped and taken in by Xia De. The cat lived for two years, not to mention sin, and even had little contact with life other than Xia De.
This cat is innocent, so even if he brings it with him, it will not be a burden to Shade's life.
No one knows how long the way back is. The voices in the wind along the way want them to turn back, and the illusions in the fog along the way want them to deviate from their straight forward steps.
But no one looked back, and no one gave up. For various reasons, the "test" faced by the outsider was the easiest, but he really admired the witches in front of him. Each of them had a firm will like steel.
An unknown amount of time passed, the wind gradually weakened, the fog disappeared, and only the deep darkness was left ahead. Even the pressure that had enveloped everyone disappeared, and everyone's pace became faster.
"Are we reaching the exit?"
The girl with round-framed glasses started running forward almost immediately after she realized her body was getting lighter again, and the others behind her also jogged to keep up.
The five people and the two hounds gradually approached each other until they reunited as a team and moved forward together.
Just now on the way, each of them had lost their breath and heartbeat. Now that they had regained the feeling of being alive, everyone was actually very happy in their hearts.
There was no sound or movement, and everything was quiet. At a certain moment, Shad and Miss Violet, who were walking quickly in the darkness, suddenly realized that they did not seem to be walking straight forward. The road under their feet had always been sloping, but now it became a flat road.
Soon after realizing this, the hearts of all the living people began to beat violently. The footsteps all stopped at once, and they knew that something was coming, coming from the deepest darkness ahead.
Fear, panic, uneasiness, shock, as these complex expressions emerged one by one, just as Shade had expected, a giant bone right hand wearing three bright golden bracelets slowly stretched out from the thick darkness in front of the group and slapped the ground not far in front of the group. The bone hand had seven fingers, each with a golden ring, and sacred golden runes flowed on the surface of those rings and bracelets. The indescribable sacredness was incompatible with the pale bone hand.
The light from the glowing rings and bracelets could not illuminate the darkness. Then, another seven-fingered bony left hand, also wearing a bracelet engraved with runes and a golden ring, stretched out from the darkness and slapped in front of everyone.
The increase in blood pressure caused by panic made Liad almost feel that blood was about to spurt out of her pores. She didn't dare to say what it was, but her body instinctively tilted backwards and was supported by Sister Belen.
Miss Violet and Theresa protected her behind them, and the golden cracks pierced through Shade's right eye, spreading to every inch of her skin.
He looked forward with a serious expression, and as two giant bony hands pressed on the ground, a huge skull wearing a gorgeous golden crown flew out of the darkness silently. There were golden flames in his eye sockets, and between his yellow and uneven upper and lower teeth, there was a darkness that seemed to swallow everything.
The golden bracelet, ring and crown were all surrounded by pure white rune chains, and their light combined together to finally illuminate the front.
There was no exit in the dark distance, only a bottomless abyss and nothingness. The road came to an abrupt end in front of him, and the "King of Skeletons" appeared with his arms and head, crawling out of the abyss.
"Is it a hoax?"
Questions arose in Xia De's mind, but now was not the time to think about them. He blurted out the words he had prepared long ago, and the voice was so loud that it startled him:
"Among the three gold bracelets on the right arm and the two gold bracelets on the left arm, one is the most important. Destroy it!"
The god in front of him, with only his arms and skull showing, was almost identical to the one Shade had seen during the final battle with Joey Barton (Chapter 793). However, the current state of this god's descent was very special. It was definitely not a complete descent state. It was close to the form of a saint, but it was different from the saints Shade had seen before.
But this also meant that when the skeletal right hand was raised and grabbed the five people standing together, the others were imprisoned by the power of the gods and could not move. The moment was eternity in their eyes, but even without burning divinity, Xia De still raised his right hand at this moment:
"Night Seal!"
The defensive effect of the Night Seal against physical attacks was far inferior to that of the "Hedon Seal", but Shade's first reaction at this moment was still to seek help from the power of the night. So the glowing white bone hand enveloped the black sphere, and when the bone hand found that it could not catch the souls and slowly withdrew, the people in the Night Seal miraculously regained their ability to move.
As the thick night faded away, Shade rushed towards the Skeleton King's retracted right arm. The golden flame in the huge skull floating in the void looked at him, then raised his left hand to catch him, but his left hand in the air collided directly with the fireball.
The flames from the fireball exploding in mid-air could not shake the sticky darkness in the slightest. Violet looked at the nun beside her in shock.
"I was thinking about how to start, and you dared to rebel against God?"
"I am a nun who serves the First Flame and the Fire Bearer."
The nun with the silver eye mask just said this, and the flames licked the greatsword in her hand. The flames of the primordial fire ignited, but due to the influence of the gods, they only attached to the surface of the sword.
She flew directly towards the left hand that was about to continue falling after being blocked by the fireball for a moment. The sixteen-year-old girl shook her head and stuffed the remaining three drops of soul tears into her mouth. With the light golden light in her eyes almost brighter than the candlelight, she followed Sister Beren.
Even though the god in front of him was in a special state and didn't seem to be using his full strength at once, a god was a god, and that couldn't be changed. The two people who flew up almost immediately fell back automatically, and could only help Shade block the left hand at low altitude.
Seeing Theresa take out the [One-shot Kill Pistol], Miss Liad hugged the two trembling hounds and asked:
"Are you going too?"
In fact, the girl with glasses' hands were also shaking, but she was a high-ring witch after all:
“I feel like I can’t move my legs anymore.”
Then he pulled the trigger six times in succession, firing all six soul bullets at once.
Only relics of the Unknown level can truly influence the gods. Even if the [One-shot Kill Pistol] is the top-level angel-level relic, six bullets fired at the left hand had almost no effect, except to cause a crack on one of the three bracelets on the wrist.
If the opponent was not a god, even the former [Human Pus] would not dare to face these six shots.
The time the girls were able to buy for Xia De was not particularly long, but the outcome was indeed decided within just a few tens of seconds.
He rushed to his right hand with seven phalanges, stuffed all of the Philosopher's Stone into his mouth with the goal of maximizing absorption efficiency, and then used the magic that had accompanied him from the beginning:
"Moonlight Slash!"
He clapped his palms together and raised his arms high, then his entire body turned into that clear moonlight.
The fire and the witch's magic could not illuminate the solidified darkness here, but the darkness gradually faded due to the emergence of the silver moon. What appeared at this time was not a cross of moonlight, nor even an arc-shaped moonlight blade. At this moment, Shade clearly turned into a new moon.
The power of the Philosopher's Stone to transform decay into magic brought about a qualitative change in the magic. When the bright crescent moon hit the god's right hand, to the trembling Miss Liad and the hounds, it was clearly the god's palm being bombarded by the moon.
The collision between the crescent moon and the white bones was still silent, but the first golden bracelet on the white bones' right hand shattered silently.
The new moon bounced back to the ground, and after the moonlight swayed a few times, Shade's figure reappeared. He leaned on the ground, gasping for breath, and looked at the white bone right arm that was raised again, and then raised his right hand as well.
A huge black sickle appeared on the side of the bony arm. The sickle fell and collided with the second gold bracelet, and the second bracelet broke into two pieces, turning into specks of golden light as it fell.
The disappearance of the light source made the visibility of the right side of the giant skull even weaker. Although the bracelet was broken, the right arm of the skeleton was still intact. The palm grabbed Shade below, and the runes of all the golden rings on the seven fingers resonated, imprisoning time and space to prevent Shade from escaping again.
But fortunately, at this time, on the left side of the huge skull floating in the void, the two witches' attacks on the left arm seemed to affect the skull's decision, and the right arm's attack shook, allowing Shade to barely avoid the grasp.
The palm slammed heavily on the ground, and the mark on the back of Shad's hand was activated for the last time. The black sickle chopped at the last bracelet on the right arm bone close to the ground, but the bracelet was only shattered after it was shattered, and the battle continued.
"There's a three-fifths chance that I won't win the bet?"
Panting, Shade thought to himself, and then he saw Miss Violet's body explode and her weak soul slowly floated to the ground. After taking the feather from Miss Liad and reborn, she rushed upwards again for a second round of self-explosion. Then Sister Beren let herself be ignited by the flames, at the cost of over-stimulating the power of the primordial fire, and finally, together with Miss Violet's two explosions, almost completely shattered the first bracelet on the god's left arm.
But "nearly shattered" means that the bracelet is still not broken.
PS: This does not mean to weaken the expressiveness of the gods. I will explain it later.
