Chapter 2750 The Devil Appears
As he spoke, Mr. Meloni took out a wide-mouthed glass bottle with a leaf-shaped flame burning in it:
"But I have to admit, it's a pretty good source of fire."
Miss Danister took the bottle and examined it:
"So this is the problem you're having. You can't solve this kind of cursed thing, right?"
The great elder, Mr. Davis, nodded:
"We have tried using holy water, rituals to expel evil spirits, and freezing to deal with them, but none of them worked. As for destroying the tree directly, we are worried that this will lead to other consequences. We have detected that the heart of the tree has a very high temperature. Forcibly destroying this cursed object may cause it to explode.
So I hope you can help me and try to dispose of this thing safely and harmlessly. It's the end of autumn, which is the time of year when forest fires are most likely to occur."
"I'll try."
Miss Danister was about to reach out her hand, but was stopped by Shade:
"If anyone wants to try, I'll try it."
"Be careful. If you touch the tree or the deer directly, you will get burn marks on yourself."
Mr. Meloni reminded him, but Shade still touched the tree trunk with his right hand. Almost at the same time as his palm touched it, fine cracks appeared on the back of his right hand, and then a red light radiated from the cracks.
The palm did not feel too much pain. Xia De raised his eyebrows, and "she" whispered in his ear:
[This is a curse from some kind of cursed fire. Don't come into contact with these burnt things for a long time.]
Xia De then loosened his hand, and the protective effect spontaneously generated by his body, that is, the traces of "First Fire Embers" slowly disappeared on the back of his hand.
"I think I have some ideas. Please move back a little."
Shade spoke to his companions again, and the two hermits immediately stepped back, while the red-haired girl hid behind him and did not go far.
Xia De then took a deep breath:
"Chloe's icy breath."
The cold air that spewed out of the mouth even condensed ice crystals in the air, causing the air to quickly atomize. The frost directly pounced on the immobile tree, and the surface of the tree and the charred deer were immediately covered with white frost.
"When we tried to freeze it, only Mr. Davis had the highest level, and the cold air was still able to have some effect, but be careful soon!"
Following Mr. Meloni's reminder, under the white frost, the orange-red flames on the charred tree trunks suddenly rose, and with a loud "boom", the blazing flames surrounding the big tree shot up into the sky.
Fortunately, the rituals set up around him were still working, preventing the dense sparks from falling to other places. However, the flaming flames still broke through the ritual blockade, but nothing happened after they hit Shade.
"Somewhat something is wrong."
Mr. Davis reminded, and at the same time sent a signal to the camp to prepare for support:
"The last time I froze this tree, there wasn't this much noise."
The shaking ground made the four people look down, but they soon realized that it was not the ground that was shaking, but the tree that was deeply rooted there was trying to pull out all its roots.
The charred deer let out a dizzy cry, and as the flames around them grew stronger, the thick burning roots finally pulled out from the ground one by one. It seemed to be aware of the danger of Shade and wanted to pull out its roots to make itself mobile, but this also meant that this thing was not a complete plant, but also had animal characteristics.
Mr. Davis, who had twelve rings, had already revealed his life ring and was ready to take action, but Shade stopped him:
"Since this thing is afraid of my cold air, it means my magic is effective. Please let me do it, Mr. Davis. I am afraid there will be an explosion soon. Please make sure the fire does not set the forest on fire."
"no problem."
Then the twelve-ring warlock cast a spell, and all the surrounding trees were animated into tree men and then retreated to a farther place, thus forming a large open space with dense holes in it in the forest.
The burning black giant tree, which was wriggling to pull out all its roots, was now almost fully able to move. But in addition to the burning roots, the four hooves of the burnt deer were also pulled out of the ground.
Shade asked Miss Danister not to come near, took off his coat and shirt and threw them to her, then walked towards the tree with his upper body naked. He put his hand on his chest and took out a ball of golden light and then pressed it back on his chest to enhance his resistance to fire.
Then, with a low growl, his body gradually grew larger as he walked, until he came close to the tree, he had expanded into a four-meter-tall little giant.
Even after its roots were pulled out, its movement speed as a tree was still quite slow. When Shade approached, it could only let the flames surrounding its body form a fireball and pounce on Shade, but it was all extinguished by Shade's slap.
Xia De stretched out his hands and hugged the trunk of the burning tree. Bright red cracks appeared on the backs of both hands. Then the cracks spread all over his body until his naked upper body was covered with burns.
Having swallowed the fire of the phoenix, and with the resistance provided by the [Inner Fire] and the power of the First Fire, even though the flames of the burning trees had already reached him, Shad still did not feel much burning pain.
"stand up!"
In his giant form, the muscles in his arms bulged, and then with a "huh" he helped the tree completely lift off the ground.
This scene was quite powerful, and Shade, who was hugging the burning tree, also threw the tree to the ground with a loud bang. The tree, which was already immobile, temporarily lost all its mobility, and even the burning flame became a little weaker.
Then, the giant Shade exhaled cold air towards the roots of the tree.
Because this form was enhanced by the spell, the chill was even more terrifying than before. In an instant, the flames at the roots of the tree were almost completely extinguished, and even the bottom third of the tree was covered with white frost.
Ga ga ga~
In the most vigorous flames on the treetops, several fire crows flew out of the fire. This burning flame itself had elements, so it was not an ordinary flame, but even if those fire crows directly hit Shade's naked back, they only left a few black marks, and were completely unable to stop him from continuing to cast spells and spit out coldness.
He maintained this state, holding the base of the tree in the raging fire and continuing to cast spells, not letting go until the white frost completely covered the entire tree. So after the white frost extinguished the flames, the continuous cold continued to suppress the few sparks on the charred trees and deer, and after all the sparks were extinguished, the cold continued to affect the high temperature inside the tree.
With a rustling sound, the frozen and charred trees finally broke off inch by inch, and the struggling deer finally stopped moving.
This lasted for five minutes before the trees and the deer turned into a pile of black ashes on the ground, and only a small piece of smoldering black wood was left in Shad's hand.
No matter how much cold air was sprayed on this piece of wood, the nearly transparent flames were no longer affected. This was the cursed core of the tree, and it was also the hottest part of the tree that the hermits felt.
If the tree had been destroyed by some other force instead of the cold, the piece of wood would probably have exploded directly, setting the entire forest on fire.
"Okay."
Shade's body also returned to its normal size. The red-haired girl holding his clothes and the two hermits hurried over:
“Is this wood the core?”
"Yes."
Shad lifted the piece of wood with his right hand and made it fly, while Miss Danister helped him put his shirt back on.
Xia De frowned and continued to look at the black object. He hadn't felt it when he faced the burning tree just now, but when he touched the core of the tree directly, he clearly felt a very familiar force:
"Vision Demon!"
As he blinked, the almost transparent and colorless flame immediately turned black.
"It's one thing after another. The Bronte thing has just ended, and the devil appears again."
After putting on his clothes, Xia De thought to himself. He did not hide this information:
"The curse comes from the devil."
The two hermits were startled:
"What devil?"
"Ancient evil demon."
He said softly, and took out a bottle of holy water from his pocket. He drew out the holy water and wrapped it around the smoldering wood. Hissing black smoke immediately came out:
"Chloe's icy breath."
The cold air was exhaled again, and then the holy water wrapped around the wood froze. The holy water ice was constantly melted by the wood, but as Shade used more and more holy water, in the end, although the wood was still burning, the ice still completely wrapped it.
Xia De grabbed the ice again and confirmed that it would be fine to seal it like this for a short period of time:
"My eyes can't be wrong. This is a monster created by the power of the devil. The question now is, where did this devil come from? Who is this devil?"
As anything can happen in Vestal Forest, evil spirits and demons have certainly appeared in history. When Shad and Miss Danister visited the Bennet family cemetery together, they sensed a little bit of demonic power from the bones of the Bennet family ancestors, and Miss Danister talked about the local demons at that time.
That was three hundred years ago, but according to reliable records, the demon that appeared in the local area at that time was sealed by the thirteenth-ring warlock "Forest Ranger" of the Nature Church of that era using an angel-level relic, and the demon is still being contained in the Church of Nature.
Therefore, the first thing that should be determined is whether the demonic power that appeared this time is the remnant of the demon from three hundred years ago, or whether the ancient evil spirit has appeared again in the local area after three hundred years.
