Chapter 3300: Reunion with Violet
After waking up from the illusion, the mental discomfort caused by the continued absorption of spirits has subsided a lot. At this time, the crown of the entire tree was rustling as if it was blown by a strong wind, and the corpses hanging under the crown were also swaying violently, as if they would all fall down in the next second.
The whispering elements of the relic were fluctuating violently, and the shriveled hound's face on the tree trunk became more and more hideous.
The spirit of the beagle under the tree trunk had fallen on Shad's shoes due to weakness, but compared to them, Shad, whose entire upper body was burning with "moon fire", felt quite good.
The continuously burning moon fire was rapidly consuming his own spirit, but Shade still retained a huge amount of spirit in his body to support subsequent actions.
He continued to prick his finger and asked the hound:
"Can you still hold on? If not, I'll let go and we'll go straight to the second stage."
"No, I can still hold on. If I hold on for one more second, the third stage will be easier. I absolutely cannot destroy the master's plan for the sake of my own freedom."
"Woof~"
The little hound, resting on the top of Shade's shoe, whimpered, causing the cat to poke its head out and look at it again. Shade counted to five in his mind again, and this time he let go of the hound without asking for its opinion.
The extraction of spirits suddenly stopped, but this did not calm the Corpse Tree down, but made the fluctuations of its whispering elements even more violent. Under normal circumstances, it would not be surprising for the tree to go out of control in the next second, but at this moment it was still firmly suppressed by the hound's soul.
"I'm going to move on to step two, and this might hurt a lot - Soul Whiplash!"
After biting his finger, he made a whip-cracking motion. With a whoosh sound, the blood-red whip condensed into substance and hit the trunk of the corpse tree directly.
This magic had no offensive power at all, so even if it was transformed into substance, it did not shake the tree at all. But at the moment when the long whip touched the trunk, the hundreds of corpses hanging under the blue canopy of the Corpse Tree actually let out a terrifying scream.
The sound even scared the outsiders who thought they were very brave. The sound was so tragic that even if they didn't know what happened, they could understand that something very tragic must have happened here.
Of course, these hanging corpses have no souls, they just serve as the tree's "vocal organs" to vent the emotional fluctuations caused by pain. Although the [Corpse Tree] is strong, it is only a "Secret Keeper Level" after all. This tree is really just a tree. It is impossible for it to stretch out its fists to beat Shade, nor is it possible for a mouth to suddenly appear.
The mummified dog head that was originally embedded in the tree trunk finally broke away from the relic as if it was vomited out during the violent shaking of the tree. What fell to the ground was a complete mummified hound, which still retained its last vitality. When the hound's soul whimpered and rubbed its face, the mummy closed its eyes with a smile.
But soon the soul of the adult hound floated out of the corpse. In this kingdom of the "God of the Grave", no one can continue to move on after death:
"Quick! Defeat it!"
Without the constraints of its bad body, the hound's soul seemed even stronger. It protected the little hound behind it, and before Shade could make a move, it rushed towards the tree again, opening its mouth to bite it.
So Xia De, who was already prepared, lit a match and placed it in front of himself.
At this moment, the sparse moonlight actually shone down here from the black sky. The falling cold snowflakes made the beagle, who had never seen snow, extremely curious.
However, due to the limitations of the special environment here, the street with glass windows and gas street lamps in the "Fairy Tale Kingdom" did not appear. At this moment, even though Xia De consumed most of the spiritual energy he had just absorbed, he only made a flat square tile appear under his feet.
Blow out the first burning match:
"I make a wish so that the witch's hound will have the power to help its master complete her plan."
Blow out the second burning match:
"I wish that the resolute souls of this moment have the power to defeat evil."
Blow out the third burning match:
"I make a wish, and the loyal hound has the power to grant his heart's desire."
Blowing out the last burning match, Shad took a deep breath;
"May the death here be strength for this hound."
All four wishes were directed to the hound that had just been freed from its confinement. The miracle of the enlightening story wrapped it in the form of fire. It then carried the fire and crashed directly into the tree trunk in front of it, crashing into the place where it had existed for a long time.
The flames exploded on the trunk, and the trunk of the Corpse Tree, which had been weakened by the absorption of too much spirit, tilted back 5 degrees. After the flames faded, the beagle at Shade's feet saw that his mother's soul had expanded twice in size, and the red flames burning on her body seemed to have replaced her mane.
"Suppress it first, and then I will continue to extract the spirit!"
Shade said in a deep voice, but he did not attack the trunk of the giant tree with the hound. Instead, he turned around and looked at the mummies that were scattered on the ground like fallen leaves.
After falling to the ground, the corpses staggered to their feet and rushed towards Shade at a speed that ordinary sprint champions could hardly reach. They had not severed their connection with the tree, and the vines hanging from the tree canopy were still wrapped around their necks.
There were a large number of corpses. After the first batch of corpses fell to the ground, more corpses emerged from the violently shaking tree canopy. Shad guessed that there must be some kind of spatial anomaly inside the tree canopy.
The "Moonlight Greatsword" that emerged from the light of the silver moon was held in Xia De's hand. After receiving "her" reminder of "not making too much noise", the greatsword in his hand turned into a silver whip and was swung forward by Xia De. Then, with a whoosh sound that broke through the air, all the corpses rushing in the front were cut in half.
I have to admit that the spell [Steel Snake] provided by the Fatu people is really suitable for Shad at his current level.
As the spell was chanted softly, big snowballs fell one by one and hit the surging horde of corpses. After being sublimated into a magical technique, the snowballs summoned by the power of the God of Winter had a more significant effect on slowing down and freezing organisms.
He pushed forward with his left hand, and all the corpses in the fan-shaped area in front of him flew backwards. "Thunder Wave" was particularly useful in this situation when facing many enemies. It was a pity that he couldn't throw out "Chaos Residue" immediately. The noise he made when facing the "Knight" just now was already loud enough, and Shade also knew that this was not a safe place after all.
The beagle's soul huddled at Shade's feet, watching its mother hit the tree, and then watching Shade swinging the silver whip to repel the endless horde of zombies.
The restless cat hidden in the chest was also looking out. The cat was not very afraid of the corpse. It just looked at the hound below with a fierce look. Unfortunately, the latter did not look up at it.
The heavy wind of death under the corpse tree became increasingly fierce as the two sides fought, but gradually subsided as the corpse tree continued to weaken.
Although the bodies kept falling from the tree, Shade could feel that the density of the bodies was decreasing. So he found the right moment and stepped on the ground with his right foot, using the thunder wave to blow away the enemies around the tree trunk again, and then called for a large snowball to fall from the sky, tightly surrounding the tree trunk in a circle.
Silver thorn bushes then grew out with the big snowballs as their roots. Shade raised his hand again and called out the [Seal of Heaton] to cover himself, the cat, and the two hounds. Then the hand holding the seal was pierced by the silver needle again, and the absorption of spirits continued.
He didn't want to completely contain or defeat the tree. He just wanted to weaken it to an extremely weak state and then seal it slightly. Shade would not have to worry about what happened next.
So far everything has been going quite smoothly. After Shade started absorbing spirits again, the strong hound soul stopped crashing into the tree and instead protected its children at his feet. From time to time, it would rush out of the range of the seal to destroy the corpses that fell from the sky and were bounced away by the Heaton seal.
After being strengthened by the quadruple wish of the mystery lock, it even mastered the ability to spit soul flames. This made Xia De, who was still extracting souls, think in his heart that if there was a chance next time, he could make a wish to make Mia stronger as well.
Most of the powers that the "match girl" gains from making a wish are time-limited, but this miraculous power can also cause permanent changes to reality. Theoretically, Shad's original maze can even imitate the effects of all subsequent mazes, but the amount of spirit energy consumed will be exaggerated.
Just when Shade thought that the task of dealing with the Corpse Tree would end like this, something strange happened. But it was not because of the problem with the method provided by Danister that the Corpse Tree still had the power to fight back, but because of the heavy footsteps approaching in the mist of the wasteland.
Shade tried to turn around and see, through the gaps in the snowball, a three-meter-tall "knight" approaching the tree. It had a rotten upper body of a human and a lower body of a horse skeleton, with a huge stone tombstone in its left hand as a shield and a rusty metal knight's lance in its right hand as a weapon.
Just by looking at its huge size, Xia De could fully imagine that after the enemy charged here, they would be able to destroy all the outer defenses at this time with a devastating force.
“Mourning Knight! It is a wanderer in this wasteland. It is said that it is a righteous soul that was forcibly sacrificed to the owner of this place and turned into a dead spirit after being corrupted.”
The flaming hound explained:
"Let me out, I'll stop it, you hurry up."
At this time, Xia De could not suddenly stop drawing. The characteristic of this needle was that the longer it drew, the faster it would draw. If he gave up at this moment, he might run into greater trouble if he delayed for a while. So the "Hedon Seal" disappeared for a short moment, and the burning hound took this opportunity to rush out from above the snowball in the flames.
Flames surged around its body, and it nimbly jumped over the zombies that were blocked outside the Moonlight Thorns, facing the knight who was more than ten times bigger than it at the edge of the blue tree canopy.
The hound bared its teeth, and flames shot up two meters from its back, so the "knight" also raised his shield and spear and got ready. The next second, the two charged at each other at the same time. Because of the perspective, Shade couldn't see the subsequent collision, but judging from the whimpering of the hound that stretched its head into the gap between the snowballs, its mother should not have taken advantage.
The heavy footsteps continued to move towards this side. Xia De felt the situation of the [Corpse Tree] at this time and decided that he, the "Knight", should compete with the "Knight" outside.
But before his fingers loosened the silver needle, the "knight" who was walking towards the tree had already raised the spear in his hand and made a gesture to throw it at the head of a living person. And just before the spear was about to be thrown out of his hand -
"Witch's Secret Technique: Sunlight Ray!"
A stream of blazing golden light emerged from the mist in the distance, turning the entire arm of the "knight" into ash. The rusty metal spear fell to the ground, and when the knight turned his head to look at the source of the attack, the figures of the ladies had already appeared in the tombstone.
"Huh? What happened out there?"
Shade also heard the noise outside, but because of the angle, he couldn't see what was happening outside. The beagle looked out from the gap in the snowball, and Mia even climbed over Shade's head.
All Shade could hear were the barking of hounds, the groans of the witches, and the sounds of explosions suppressed by spells.
Soon, a heavy object fell to the ground, and it seemed that the knight had fallen. Then, bursts of light swept under the tree, and corpses fell in groups and merged into the wasteland again.
After Shade took the initiative to cancel the "Moonlight Thorns", the first thing that broke through the obstruction of the snowball was the long wavy golden hair that looked like molten gold.
The face that hadn't been seen for a long time looked at Xia De with a smile, and the golden brown eyes with twinkling stars were so nostalgic. The usual arrogance was gone, and the black high heels were walking faster and faster on the uneven wasteland. The red corners of the lips were raised from the heart and the arc was breathtaking, but for some reason, there were rose gold lines on the fair skin that were fleeting in Xia De's eyes.
Although the light golden dress is plain, it can't hide her noble temperament at all. The only accessories on her body are crystal earrings on her ears, but her beauty does not need those additional accessories to decorate.
“Ms. Violet!”
As Xia De let go of the silver needle and turned around, the demigod demon queen pounced on him and hugged him tightly.
The familiar smell of perfume reminded Shade of the embrace and farewell at the bow of the "Lightless Sea" after it finally broke through the space (Chapter 2209). Violet Marshall, who was only a thirteenth-level witch at the time, has now officially entered the stage of demigod according to Theresa.
The opportunity for her to become a demigod was to touch the secret of "eternal beauty", so now she looks more beautiful and charming than any other time Shade has ever seen her.
Both his and her faces were filled with surprise and joy at reuniting, but while enjoying the embrace, Shade suddenly felt something was wrong. He broke free from the alluring embrace and looked carefully at Miss Violet's delicate face, and then confirmed that the rose-gold lines on her skin were not an illusion:
"This body. Puppet?"
"Yes."
The blonde witch queen looked at Shade who was so close to her. This was the scene she had dreamed of many nights. Compared with their encounters at the Lost Lake and the Sunless Sea, he seemed to have not changed at all. He was still the one she remembered:
"Even with my strength, I can't force my way here without alerting the owner of this place. So, I could only respond to Theresa's call, split a third of my soul, attached it to this puppet and came here.
But please rest assured, this meat puppet is exactly the same as my body except that its power level is only level 11, the same as Theresa's."
Miss Violet's eyes sparkled because she drank the blood of the "Star Whale", and the body in front of Shade was the same. She and Shade were getting closer and closer, and Shade was also intoxicated by her charming eyes. He put his arms around her slender waist until the two of them were close.
"Aunt, I have cleaned up the bodies outside!"
Theresa's surprised voice came from the mist behind Miss Violet. Shad was about to look behind her, but the beautiful blonde kissed him directly.
Only immature girls would be disturbed by such things. Violet Marshall always gets what she wants. If there had not been enough time when they parted last time, this kiss would never have lasted until now.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Theresa, who was carrying a shovel, and Sister Belen, who was holding an oil lamp, also crossed the remains of the big snowball and came to the bottom of the tree trunk. The burning hound had exhausted the power given by the puzzle lock and followed the witches, but at least it was not injured.
At this time, Miss Violet was still unwilling to let go of Shade, and in the end Shade took the initiative to push her away, so the blonde witch queen showed an expression of being betrayed, but there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth. Even in this world of the dead, her smile seemed to be able to make the illusion of flowers bloom around her:
"It feels really good, it's a shame I didn't experience it until now."
The young girl at the side had an angry expression, but her teacher/aunt looked at her sideways, so she had to keep a straight face but was still a little angry, after all, she was the one who came here first.
However, now is not the time to chat or say hello. Although Shade is very curious about how Miss Violet appeared here, it is clear that the [Corpse Tree] still needs to be finalized.
Now, the tree's power has been weakened to the extreme after the "three-step" plan. Although it is still not as good as the state it was in when Xia Deyihuan saw it, at least it is no longer a threat to the living people present.
