Chapter 2940: The story ends on the water
After agreeing to Flora's request to go along, Shad went over the arrangements with the ladies at the front of the deck, and then without communicating with the ring mages elsewhere on the deck, he and Iluna jumped off the bow of the ship.
The people who were originally gazing at the dark moon in the distance in the mist in awe then came to the guardrail and looked down, but they no longer saw the "God Caller". Instead, they saw a huge silver wolf "rising" from below until it became almost the same size as the giant ship covered with scales.
The silver-white fur glowed in the mist, whether it was glowing by itself or because of the shining of the dark moon. Iluna stood on the head of the silver wolf holding the wolf fur, while the small owl was completely covered by the silver wolf fur.
Then the giant wolf walked on the water, bypassed the Glorious Messenger and came to the back of the ship. Two black chains came out from nowhere and were first bitten by the silver wolf. Then the ends of the chains shot back and tied up the black dragon that was no longer moving.
Shade's current size is still not as big as the dragon beast, but in this area of water, as its strength gradually dissipates and its body gradually decays, the size of the black monster is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xia De is now very glad that he still has the silver wolf form besides the "Moonlight Dragon". Although flying is not strictly prohibited in this tranquil water area, it is absolutely not allowed to leave the water too far without a vehicle.
Therefore, he in the silver wolf state was more suitable for dragging the dragon beast forward on the water, while it would be too weird for a giant dragon to step on the water and drag another dragon.
[Maybe, you can turn into a giant silver cat and drag it. ]
Shade then tried to imagine in his mind a cat bigger than the Shining Emissary biting the chain and swishing its tail, dragging the dragon forward under the gaze of dozens of eyes, and then decided that he would rather give up the plan than do that.
Anyway, the silver wolf bypassed the giant ship from the other side, biting the chain and dragging the dragon into the depths of the white fog. The people on the deck were very polite and did not approach the witch and her group at the bow, but just stood on the side of the deck and watched them go further and further away.
From the perspective of Iluna and the owl on the wolf's head, the originally thin fog around them was dissipating as Shade moved forward. In fact, Shade didn't carry them too far before the fog completely disappeared.
The light of the dark moon became more real and cold, and above the calm water surface that seemed empty through the fog, pure white figures appeared one after another in the eyes of Owl and Iluna.
These souls turned their backs to them and faced the moon, and walked towards the dark moon in the flickering light and shadow. The silver wolf walked with them in silence, but its footsteps were silent.
Iluna felt a little emotional in her heart. She was still a little worried whether the great witch of death could still hold on here. Unexpectedly, this time, the owl did not show any discomfort. It stood on the wolf's head and watched the scene in a daze. Iluna suddenly had a premonition that Flora Winslet was not far from the twelfth level.
"Shad, do we really want to drag it this far?"
Iluna's voice appeared beside his ears, the voice was unusually light, even a little ethereal. The silver wolf then opened its mouth and released the chain. They really couldn't move forward. The Dark Moon had become extremely huge, and the area ahead was a real area that no living person could set foot in.
Turning back, he saw the black dragon beast lying quietly on the water, now about the same size as a strong wild bull. Then the silver wolf emitted a light almost the same as that of the dark moon, and in the cold moonlight, he turned back into the appearance of the "God Summoner", with the owl still standing on his shoulder and Iluna standing beside him.
Seeing that Shade did not deal with the dragon, but looked towards the direction of the half-sunken moon, Iluna also looked in that direction. At first she did not see anything, but the owl on Shade's shoulder seemed to have a stronger vision in this death:
"he came."
With their backs to the moon of death, a man and the pure white souls walked towards them. When the other person came closer, Iluna realized that it was indeed Jindel who hatched the dragon egg.
Iluna had only seen his appearance in the light and shadow of the tree hole, and actually didn't know his specific name. At this moment, the man's soul remained the same as the young man who picked up the dragon egg, but his body was transparent and glowing, which was different from a living person after all.
Jindel smiled and nodded to Shade and Iluna, then walked towards the black dragon beast that had turned into the size of a goat under the gaze of six pairs of eyes, or rather dozens of eyes.
After he approached, the dragon beast, which had been closing its eyes, opened its slightly cloudy eyes. Its yellow-brown vertical pupils reflected the moon and the man it no longer knew who he was.
Jinder didn't say anything, but just placed his hand on its dark dragon head. Then, big tears flowed from its vertical pupils.
There was a sound of tears falling into the dark water, while the wailing sound added a bit of sadness to the calm black waters.
Jinder kept touching the dragon's head, and pure white light and shadows passed around them one by one.
Iluna looked at this scene and felt that the story finally had a good ending. The owl on Shad's shoulder felt like the hair on its body was about to explode. She felt as if she was understanding death at a deeper level.
The tears fell on the water but did not stir up too many ripples, and the sobbing sound eventually disappeared. However, in those animal eyes, there was a hint of wisdom at this moment.
The dragon's body had now returned to its size when it was born. It flapped its wings and took off from the water, then pounced into Jindel's arms. The deformed body then completely returned to normal, and it turned into the little dragon again.
The man's soul smiled and embraced it, just as it had embraced it when it flew out of the eggshell at dawn many years ago. The story of the dragon egg in the snowstorm that began at the beginning of the Sixth Epoch ended here.
The owl heard what Shad was saying, even though Shad didn't open his mouth:
“He used fire to take it away from death and gave it a new life; and now he still greets its death with a smile on the water. The story that started in the snow ends in the water, and the story that started in a hug ends in another hug.”
At this moment, Flora Winslet seemed to hear a shattering sound coming from her soul. But it was not that her soul was injured, but rather that the chains that imprisoned her soul were broken.
Holding the dragon beast in one hand, Jindel still did not speak. He bowed silently to express his gratitude to Shade, and then handed two things to Shade, one was a fresh branch wrapped in the breeze, and the other was a black deformed heart.
Looking at the little dragon in his arms again, its originally solid body had become transparent and began to glow. It had chosen to go on with Jindel.
Then, the tiny lights from the dragon and the man gathered together and drifted to Shade, Iluna and the owl. Shade didn't know what Iluna and Flora had obtained. He just heard "her" say under the dark moon:
[Stranger, the upper limit of your spirit has been raised. ]
Although simple, it is extremely useful.
The soul light of the owl became more and more obvious, and Iluna smiled and waved goodbye to the dragon and the people.
Jindel nodded to everyone for the last time, then turned around holding the little dragon in his arms, and walked towards the finish line in a leisurely manner with thousands of souls.
Three pairs of eyes on the water, along with dozens of eyes in the mist in the distance, watched his receding figure until Jinder and Long completely disappeared, as if melting into the cold light of the dark moon. Someone seemed to sigh, but perhaps that was just an illusion.
"Is she okay?"
Iluna then pointed at the owl that looked a little strange, and Shade handed the branch and the heart to Iluna to hold first, while he himself moved the owl into his arms:
"She is still cursed by time, so even if she is promoted, she will not be at the twelfth level. Now Flora needs to digest and understand what she has gained. The moment the time curse is lifted, I think she will already be a great witch at the twelfth level."
"She understood death because of this?"
Shade shook his head:
"No, she accepted death."
Gently stroking the gray round-faced owl with half-closed eyes in her arms, Shade even felt that the time curse on her seemed to have become much lighter.
There was nothing left of the dragon beast except the branches and the heart. Shad and Iluna returned to the ship quickly. After confirming that the matter was over, Shad relied on the little spirit that had been restored by the power given by the soul just now, and together with Miss Elaiser, he controlled the Shining Messenger to return in the fog.
During the return voyage, no one seemed to be in the mood to speak. The entire deck of the ship was silent, with only the occasional cat meowing indicating that at least Mia didn't care at all about what had just happened.
The difficulty of returning is much easier than forcing a breakthrough into this edge of life and death. However, the boat girl's maze has been released. Therefore, after leaving the mist representing the "edge", the Shining Messenger returned directly to the top of the forest in reality.
March shines on the burning forest. After the dragon beast died, the dragon blood tree people revived by it have not stopped their activities. The ring warlocks who did not enter the maze are still fighting, but at least the "heavy snow" has stopped.
The thick fog that used to separate time and space around the woods also disappeared. From the high deck, one could even clearly see the aura bursting above the distant city.
