Chapter 2766 "Watchmaker"
Under the effect of the magic eye, the dirt and stones appeared out of thin air and completely filled the secret room in an instant. The woman activated the "speed spell" and turned around to escape to the top of the stairs. Behind her, the stairs of the secret room were also quickly returning to the state they were ten minutes ago.
After escaping from the secret room, the twelve-ring president of the "Tree Hole Association" did not stop at all, and fled quickly towards the door of the steam engine room.
The wall where the secret room originally existed had now returned to its normal appearance, but soon waves like water flow began to appear on the wall. Shade, holding the [Disaster Card: Gravel Worm] in his left hand so that he could use the "Sand Swimming Technique", walked out of the wall.
He took a step forward, crossed the pipes and condensation pools on the ground and came behind the woman. The bright moonlight was chopped out by his left hand, but it only passed through the phantom of the woman.
Shad closed his eyes and sensed it, then risked using "Raglai's Leap" to take another step forward, so he appeared directly in the square outside the Golden Music Hall building. The basement was actually located at the edge of the building.
Turning back, the "watchmaker" who had just emerged from the door and stood on the towering steps of the concert hall also stopped. She squinted her eyes and looked at the handsome young man below, and Shade also looked up at her.
"Give me the stuff back."
"Godcaller, is that you?"
Because the concert was still going on, there was no one at the door of the concert hall, but there were some citizens walking in the square outside the concert hall.
The lights of the concert hall and the street lights of the square illuminated the two people respectively. Xia De stretched out his hand to his chest, and the long black staff flashed in the ritual formation under his feet and then appeared in his hand.
The black-haired woman who looked to be in her forties tied the fallen brass pointer back to her hair that had just been cut off by Shade. The thirteen pointers connected to her hair pointed to the night sky at the same time. A crack appeared in the night sky with a click, and then a translucent, hideous, twisted dragon beast came back from the past to the present and squeezed out of the crack in time and space.
As its body appeared in the present time and space, the transparent body gradually took on color, but it looked like it would take dozens of seconds for it to arrive completely.
The "watchmaker" then stood on the top of the stairs and asked Xia De:
"Do you want to stop it from destroying the city, or do you want to stop me from escaping?"
Xia De raised his hands and crossed them in front of him:
"Of course I'm stopping you. I'm not from the church."
His whole body glowed and in the next second it turned into a large cross of moonlight, rushing straight to the top of the stairs. Even though the "Watchmaker" was a 12-ringed person, she didn't dare to take the cross of moonlight head-on. She used the power of the magic eye and disappeared again.
But when she appeared at the bottom of the stairs, with the sound of spreading wings in the air, Miss Owl's wings glowed with black light, and the black feathers with the death curse were already flying above her head.
When Shade, whose attack missed, stood up from the moonlight, in the lobby of the concert hall, three ring wizards dressed in waiters attacked him at the door at the same time. The president of the [Tree Hole Association] obviously did not have the habit of carrying out tasks alone.
With a thud, the long staff hit the ground, and as the shadow of a green tree appeared, the three people who had just entered the "Speed Spell" state returned to their normal speed. The moonlight swept across, and the three people who summoned the shield together retreated together after the shield shattered with a click, and then they were entangled by the police who rushed out of the concert hall.
They are of course the ring magicians of the church. Not only Shade and the [Tree Hole Association] are paying attention to this place, the Orthodox Church also knows that this concert hall hides secrets.
At this time, above the square below the steps, the owl was still flying in the air. Although her level had not yet recovered, her ability to instantly kill people still made the 12th-ring "Watchmaker" worried.
The battle between the two was basically one flying and the other dodging, and there was no technical content. Shad, who jumped down the stairs with a long staff, just glanced at the giant dragon in the air that had completely arrived at this time, as well as the thirteen-ring "Construction Master" flying from the Creation Church in the distance and the mechanical flying dragon being assembled by the dense brass machines behind him, and then turned into moonlight again and slashed at the woman dodging the black feathers.
The gorgeous moonlight cross was about to appear in front of him. This time, the "watchmaker" who was stared at by the owl did not dodge or use the ability of the magic eye to delete the moment, but raised his hand to meet the attack head-on.
Thirteen hands jingled and collided with each other in front of her, and the phantom of a brass clock dial in the sparks was hit head-on by the Moonlight Cross.
At the moment of impact, the three pointers on the clock face rotated counterclockwise at the same time, but the Moonlight Cross, which should have returned to its original position due to the reversal of time, did not retreat. Instead, it left spider-web-like dense cracks on the dial with a click. The focus of this defensive magic was to avoid attacks by reversing time, and its actual defensive ability was not strong.
But Shade still failed to penetrate the defensive magic cast by the Twelve Ring Warlock with one blow. As the Moonlight Cross dimmed, his figure appeared in front of the translucent dial, and then his left hand, which was emitting a faint black light, pressed forward:
"Black Moon Symbol!"
"You are indeed immune to time effects."
The watchmaker's face changed drastically, and he even retreated quickly regardless of the black feathers falling from his head. As a result, the brass clock face finally disappeared under the power of destruction, and the Twelve Ring Warlock who was hit by the black feathers passed the instant death judgment with normal luck:
"Godcaller, are you also a candidate this time?"
"Too?"
As Shade spoke, he continued to move forward, and the woman who manipulated the thirteen pointers to rotate around her body to draw the ritual array had no intention of fighting him again. As a person with a time gift, her greatest ability was almost all time-related power, but the time resistance of the summoner in front of her was amazingly high.
The glass-like magic eye seemed to be able to see through his soul. The thirteen spinning hair tips kept colliding with the feathers in the air while starting the ceremony. At least half of the thirteen pointers connected to the hair tips were relics:
"When the ceremony of the chosen one begins, it will not just be our war. Time goes back!"
The magic eye glowed again, and even though the [Ancient Elves' Stability Principle] was still in effect, she still disappeared on the spot. Just now, I didn't feel anything from a distance, but now Shade finally understood her high-risk magic eye, which seemed to have the power to peek into the past, delete time, and reproduce the past.
Her dodging in the brief battle just now was all done by deleting time, and her disappearance at this moment was to return her state to the past, that is, before entering the city. This was not time travel, but recording a certain state and then reproducing it.
But because of this, when the "watchmaker" disappeared, Xia De grabbed the time key that was about to fall to the ground. This key is immune to the effect of time, so it will not disappear with her:
"This key doesn't seem to lead to the fifth"
The fluttering sound approached, Shad looked up at the sky, and the owl landed directly on his shoulder.
In the higher night sky, the summoned "mechanical dragon" made of dense brass machinery behind the thirteenth ring warlock had collided with the dragon beast. The triggered city defense ritual had blocked the image and sound of this scene from the senses of ordinary people.
With a loud bang, dense brass parts kept splashing in the collision, but the mist on the dragon beast that came from the narrow space of time did not cause the machinery to decay immediately.
Mechanical creations are not immortal, but at least they are more reliable than flesh and blood.
The woman who had just disappeared also appeared above the dragon beast's head at the same time as the dragon beast was gradually suppressed by the "Construction Master" Mr. Gerard Delong.
Although the twelve-ring life ring that emerged behind her was not as gorgeous as the thirteen-ring life ring, as the life ring rotated, the dragon beast swelled and grew larger again with a loud roar, and the originally protruding spikes on its back continued to deform and grow until they turned into two human hands, which grabbed the mechanical dragon.
While Mr. Gerard Delong temporarily dodged the dragon beast's tail, the dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a pitch-black flame at the mechanical dragon, cutting it in half. The dragon beast then lowered its head and spewed out black flames again at Shade in the square below.
"Giant dragon, huh? Now that the defense ritual has begun—stand firm!"
Shade warned the owl on his shoulder, and while the owl was confused, he jumped into the air. After entering the aerial illusion camouflage area, the owl only felt itself constantly bumping because of Shade's actions, but at a certain moment, the body of the man under it suddenly expanded.
The feeling of the claws touching clothes and flesh became unfamiliar, and then a silver light shone from under the claws.
The howling wind represented high-speed movement. Even without lowering her head, she could feel the suffocation brought by the suppression of the essence of life. This was the suppression of ordinary owls by higher-level creatures.
As the silver light waves gushed out from beneath its body and intertwined with the black flames, the owl finally realized its current situation.
The little owl seemed to be squatting on the head of the silver dragon, and under the moonlight, the bright moonlight was constantly compressing the power of the black flames as the moonlight dragon flapped its wings. Every scale of the new dragon seemed to be shining with silver light. The giant creature not only shocked the owl, but also amazed at the beauty of this magnificent life.
Of course, Shad didn't have time to guess Flora's thoughts at this moment. Since this dragon beast from the past appeared again, as long as he could use "Return of Time" on it once, he could determine the specific time it belonged to, and then investigate the story it had experienced.
