Chapter 2939: The Open Wall of Sighs
Tifa held Mia in her arms and watched it stagger under the black sky with rain and snow as it flew directly in front of the Radiant Emissary. Then, the owl endured the pain in its soul caused by the exhaustion of its spirit and released its best magic:
"Wall of Sighs!"
A huge wall a hundred meters high rose from the waves, but the rumbling sound was completely drowned out by the sound of the raging waves, the struggle of the dragon beasts, and the sounds of people casting spells.
The little owl then spun and fell from the sky. Miss Bell wanted to catch her teacher, but unexpectedly a yellow light jumped up. The small cat grabbed the owl like hunting a bird and fell back into Tifa's arms.
No one knows how the cat, which is much smaller than the owl, caught it, but in any case, the cat successfully brought back its "friend".
The owl said weakly to Shade and Miss Elizabeth, who were casting a spell with gritted teeth:
"The Wall of Sighs is the gate to the world of the dead. I can't summon the real Wall of Sighs yet, but it still has symbolic significance. With the ability of Shade's peculiar little wooden boat, as long as we can pass through it, we will definitely be able to find the correct navigation track."
On the giant gray wall that was a hundred meters high, the shrill cries of countless terrifying undead spirits even made the howling wind carry the color of death.
They stretched out their claws and stuck out their skulls towards the giant ship that was gradually approaching them, but with a loud bang, a cannon exploded at the bow of the ship and hit the wall, and then the whole ship seemed to be self-destructing, crashing into the wall with its bow.
Everyone on the boat felt as if they were flying because of the bumps. But when their feet touched the ground again, in front of the lightless sea, a ray of cold silver moonlight penetrated the thin white mist, passed through the pierced wall and shone onto the deck.
Those who could look back after casting the spell all looked towards the bow, where the black-haired girl was still hugging the "God-Caller". In front of them, in the direction the boat was heading, at the end of the mist was the silver moon half-sunken on the black water, peaceful and holy.
"Dark Moon."
The bow of the Shining Messenger had now completely entered the silent black waters shrouded in white fog. This was not the real end. The "white fog" represented the edge. As long as the ship passed the white fog, the battle would be over.
The light of the dark moon also shines on Shad, Miss Elither, and Flora, who is temporarily unable to transform back into human form and is therefore held by Tifa along with Mia.
The Great Witch of Death opened her eyes weakly and looked at the dark moon in the distance, and the dark moon was also reflected in the eyes of the owl. She had come here with Shade on a boat before, but the feeling this time was still a little different from the last time.
The ship continued to move forward in the mist, trying to completely drag the monster behind it in. Although everyone on the deck was surprised that the "God Caller" had such a plan, they also realized that if it succeeded, the dragon would really die.
Everyone was trying to suppress the dragon with all their strength, but at this moment, the dragon beast outside the Gate of Death underwent new changes.
It was clearly not dead yet, and it was not smart enough to realize that immediate suicide and rebirth was the only hope of escape, but the giant tree wrapped in its flesh and blood suddenly emitted light at this moment.
The emerald green light even penetrated the dragon beast's flesh and blood, and the dragon beast, which had regained its strength, struggled violently, breaking free from most of the binding spells, and then pulled backwards, even causing the Glorious Messenger, whose most of the hull had entered the "edge" represented by the white mist, to begin to move backwards again.
"Give me the Angel's Right Arm, and I'll suppress it!"
Iluna was about to take the sword, but Shade didn't agree:
"Iluna, go and shout out that name to it."
The girl understood what was going on and quickly moved to the stern. This process was like returning from the "edge" to the maze that was about to collapse, but since Shad's small wooden boat could protect the passengers, it didn't matter.
She clung to the railing of the stern deck, not caring about the huge stream of thaumaturgical light passing over her head. Taking a deep breath, Iluna shouted to the struggling dragon beast:
"Kingsley Jindel!"
At first, the sound was only audible to her, but soon it became louder than all the other sounds in the place. Iluna reached out to wipe the seawater that splashed onto her face and continued to shout loudly:
"Kingsley Kindle! Do you remember that name? Kingsley Kindle! Are you going to throw away the name he gave you?"
With those shouts, the dragon's struggle actually weakened. Taking this opportunity, Xia De drank a mouthful of essence, and then used the violently surging spirit to control the big ship. Finally, with a charge, he completely dragged the dragon into the white mist behind the stone wall that was hit.
The sound of the raging waves and the howling wind disappeared completely, and only the echo of Iluna's shouts continued to reverberate. White mist spread around, and everyone on the ship held their breath and stopped talking. The ship stopped charging and just glided slowly on the water.
Ripples spread from the bottom of the boat to the surroundings, but they disappeared after only a few meters because of the fog. The cold light of the faint moon shining through the white fog became more and more real, and everyone looked at the moon at the end of the white fog.
That is the light of the end and the direction of the end.
Even the great witches, except Flora, were here for the first time. The elderly grandmother Cassandra, the short Vanessa, the silent Carina, and the awed Bella all had different thoughts when looking at the moon, but they all probably thought that the witches who left had really missed a big thing this time.
Ajelina snuggled up to Dorothy and also looked at the moon. The elf girl hugged the little unicorn's neck, and the young animal tilted his head, wondering what he was thinking.
Mia had seen this moon many times, and at this moment she was just curious as to why the owl's body seemed to glow under the dark moon. As for the ring wizard who had temporarily landed on the deck because of this battle, no one disturbed the tranquility here.
Everyone can hear different voices in the white fog around the ship, thoughts, resentment, love, reluctance, regret. The living always care about the dead, but are also always cared about by the dead. On the edge of life and death, those who have left cannot be seen. Only obsession and emotion can appear here through sound, whether true or false.
"roar~"
The roar of the dark monster once again came from behind the ship, briefly disturbing the tranquility here. Although it had not yet completely entered death, the Wall of Sighs had been crossed, and there was no need for people to suppress it at this time.
This is the end point, no one can escape it.
Except for the power of Shade, Iluna and the Radiant Emissary itself, the magic spells of the ring sorcerers and witches on the deck had all failed. But even without the restraints, the dragon beast could not spread its wings and fly.
Its sound became fainter and fainter, until finally it became silent.
Only then did Shad finally take back the life ring, but Miss Elizabeth continued to hug him because the boat girl clearly felt that Shad was unsteady.
"Are you okay?"
She asked with concern. The witches who had just looked up at the moon in the distance also gathered around. Xia De covered his forehead and closed his eyes for a long time:
"It's okay, I just consumed too much energy. Although I know it's not easy, I didn't expect that I almost couldn't hold on."
But he quickly signaled Miss Elither not to hold him anymore, and instead turned to care about Flora's current situation. The owl had now moved away from Mia and was being held by his apprentice. The pale girl seemed more worried, but after Shad checked, he found that Flora was also just too exhausted.
Just now, Miss Bell had fed the "Angel Elixir" that could restore her spirit into her beak, so although she couldn't change back from the owl state for the time being, she just needed to rest for a while.
"Is this matter not over yet? Why doesn't the dragon behind move forward?"
Ajelina asked cautiously, she was in awe of everything around her. For the little princess, "death" was a very heavy topic. However, the people on this ship were sent back by Shade, which was not considered "resurrection" because the ship was still in the mist, which represented the "edge".
"I'll send it further forward. Miss Elither, the ship should not continue to move forward. There are too many living people on this ship. The ship should stop here for the time being. Even if my magic is an exception, it cannot violate the rules of death like this."
Xia De instructed, and Miss Elither nodded:
"Well, we'll be waiting for you here."
He winked at Xia De and Xia De somehow remembered the feeling on his back when he was hugged just now.
"I'll go with you. Now I can stand on this water."
Iluna said that Shade did not object. After all, someone would need to explain to the church what happened here.
"I'll go with you too."
Unexpectedly, the owl, which looked very weak, flapped its wings and flew to Shad's shoulder, which almost made the cat held by Tifa jump over. Shad would not be able to take Mia off the ship. Although the church still did not know the true identity of the "God Caller", once they believed that "carrying a cat on the shoulder" was one of the signs of the "God Caller", Shad Hamilton's detective career would probably be over.
"Flora, what you need now is a good rest."
Granny Cassandra persuaded, and Bella, Vanessa, and Carina agreed, but the owl was very persistent this time:
"I will just keep standing on Shade's shoulders like this, I..."
"No need to explain, just follow me."
Shade touched her feathers, and the owl rubbed Shade's hand. Now Shade could sense Mia's threatening gaze without even turning his head.
