Chapter 1110: Teardrop Ice Crystal and the Road of Demigods
Miss Chloe stared blankly at the steps extending from her feet to higher places. She seemed to have understood.
Shade then said:
"Mrs. Marquez is your fear of loneliness and your worries about past experiences that you cannot forget. You regard her as the most important part of yourself, so you gave her your middle name and last name."
After hesitating for a moment, he said:
"So, the thirteen people in your memory are actually you. Divide yourself, and then actively accept and gain yourself. This is the path you choose... The one who is very good at cooking vegetable soup is actually you, then
It tastes really good.”
Chloe couldn't help but smile. The twelve golden steps looked much more solid, and at the end of the steps was the dark sky.
"This gentleman."
Shade waved to the cowering man, and the [Origin Darkness] in his pocket automatically flew to Shade. The man stood up with a trembling body and came to Shade.
Shade held the card in his hand and said:
"In the name of the next owner of [Impermanence and Darkness], I forgive your theft."
He patted the man's shoulder and looked at Miss Chloe:
"You have made many mistakes in the past, some of which you find difficult to talk about or even unwilling to recall. Therefore, you transformed the image of this mistake into an image of a man that witches hate, without even giving him a specific
name."
"I......"
Those red eyes looked at Shade.
"But it's not that bad. Because you understand that it's wrong and accept your mistake. This is better than Lakin, who I'm about to face... The evidence of your acceptance of your mistake is that even in
Even on the most dangerous last stretch of the road, you didn't propose to abandon him, but insisted on taking him here with you."
Miss Chloe's lips trembled:
"Yes, the one I put at the end is the one I least want to face... He is also me."
The nameless man showed a relieved smile and bowed slightly to Shade. His body emitted a bright golden light. He turned into a series of golden light spots in the light and flew to the top of the witch's twelve steps.
It became the thirteenth step.
The steps were completely solidified, and Chloe Marcus Marquez, one of the co-founders of Zalas Academy and the strongest thirteenth-level witch of this era, returned to her original posture again.
The light from the golden steps illuminated her and Shade's faces, and an expression as if she had just woken up from a dream appeared on the young witch's face. As if she was meeting herself for the first time, she raised her hand to touch her cheek, and then with a
He looked at Shade with confused eyes:
"I......"
"Transform your soul and the thirteenth level of the witch into thirteen different images, representing different memories and different obsessions in life. Lost in the snowy mountains, you move forward with them, accept and tolerate them again, and let them
Truly become a part of yourself. Until you climb to the highest peak of this snow-capped mountain, from the initial confusion to the final awakening, this is not only a climb of the body, but also a climb of the soul."
Shade looked at her. In this world with the power of mysticism, this approach meant many things:
"Mrs. Marquez and that man represent the last weakness in your heart. The fear of loneliness and the guilt of the past. But now, you are willing to accept them instead of killing them, although this can also bring you here...
..You go from complete to scattered, and from scattered to complete, this is your..."
"...the path of the demigods."
Miss Chloe and Shade looked at each other and told the answer that Shade had already guessed. Shade breathed a sigh of relief, this time the story finally came to the end:
"Yes, although this snow-capped mountain is dangerous, there are actually not that many evil spirits. What you encounter, including the devil and the black shadow of death, are all your own distracting thoughts and fears. It is yours to defeat them.
An important process for the soul to ascend to its highest peak. Before I appeared, you had successfully accommodated the first eleven selves, and I only helped you solve a small problem."
Miss Chloe wanted to say something, but Shade interrupted her:
"Lost person in the snowy mountains, have you found yourself at this moment? Can you see the road to the last step?"
Miss Chloe was startled and looked at Shade with some fear:
"Are you actually lying too? They represent the first thirteen levels, and you represent a demigod? A brand new possibility?"
"No, no, no, why do you think so? I am serious."
He held Miss Chloe's hand and let her feel the temperature of his palm:
"Rather than saying that I am you, it is better to say that I am your secret keeper."
Shade looked into her eyes. The two of them stood in the wind and snow on the top of the mountain, with silver snowflakes falling on their shoulders:
"I have met a lot of secret keepers recently, and this time I did the same thing as them. I witnessed and helped your growth and sublimation, inspiring you to move forward, rather than leading you forward. Speaking of which, [Keeping the Secret
The successor of "Teacher" actually does not ask to teach others... This is not important."
He used one hand to brush away the snowflakes from the shoulders of the silver-haired witch in front of him:
"Miss Chloe, take the final step."
The witch nodded slightly, but did not let go of Shade's hand. There was burning emotion in her eyes:
"Are you leaving?"
Shade calculated the time, and there were still more than three minutes left:
"I came here just to help you climb to the highest peak. Although I'm very reluctant to let you go..."
He has gradually become accustomed to this kind of separation. In the Sixth Epoch, countless girls have told Shade that everything he has come into contact with and everyone he has known during his travels with the Time Key has long since turned into his hometown.
Only a few lines of text are left, as well as the memory that will eventually fade away in Xia De's heart:
"...But I think it's time to say goodbye. You are a very good girl. Do you remember what I said? There are also witches who are very close to me, but their talents are not as good as yours."
Miss Chloe had a forced smile on her face, her red eyes always looking at Shade:
"Will we meet again?"
Shade felt that he had completely understood the meaning in the witch's eyes.
"I have no idea."
In the blink of an eye, tears streaked down her cheeks, but before they fell to the ground, they turned into ice crystals. She stood on tiptoes slightly, then held Sha De's face and kissed her. The cold lips were something Sha De had never tried before, and the tears turned into ice crystals.
The ice crystals also have a different bitter taste than before.
[Outlander, Witch Reminder Chloe, has been completed. 】
The witch let go of Shade and then took a few steps back.
"Well!"
Shade covered his mouth, coughed a few times, and then spit out a transparent ice crystal from his mouth. It was about the size of a quarter of a hand. Although it was oval, the ice crystal had countless tiny planes on its surface.
Looking at the light on the body, the ice crystals are engraved with dense text.
This is not an extraordinary item, but it seems to be a special item. This is a teardrop frozen by the witch with her own power (note). It is an ice crystal that records the path of a demigod. In addition to Shade's guess, there are more records on it.
thing.
This is the last gift, but Shade doesn't know if he can take it away.
Without saying goodbye to Shade, Chloe looked up at the golden steps leading to higher places. Her back was to Shade, and the shabby cold-proof robe on her body turned into a gorgeous ice blue dress at some point.
skirt.
The ice and wind and snow made jewelry and hair accessories for her. Her boots were decorated with ice crystals. The wind rolled up her long silver hair and braided her complicated hairstyle. The thirteenth-level witch carefully lifted up the gorgeous and heavy skirt.
, lifted up his boots decorated with diamonds and sapphires, and stepped on the first step.
Where the boots landed, golden light surged like waves, and the light spread to the entire staircase, making it shine like the sun under the dark sky of blizzard. At the same time, the darkness in the far distance of the silver-white mountain range
In the middle, a ray of light penetrated the wind and snow and shined directly.
She climbed up the stairs step by step and reached the second and third steps. The wind and snow weakened a lot at this moment. The howling wind stopped, but the snow was still falling all over the sky. Until the wind stopped completely,
The sound of the bell came from nowhere, and the exciting sound of the bell echoed in the vast snow-capped mountains. Along with the sound of the bell, someone was even singing softly.
When I stepped on the fourth and fifth steps in the snow, when the first ray of light broke through the black fog from a very far distance, the shadow of three full moons appeared for the first time in the dark sky above my head. The darkness was slowly dissipating.
Go, the bright starry sky becomes clear from blur behind the black sky, and the snow-capped mountains are being illuminated.
Stepping onto the sixth and seventh steps in the wind, Chloe's whole body exuded golden light, and her majestic power vibrated with the sound of bells in the snow-capped mountains. The starry sky shone because of her, and the snow-capped mountains
Bright because of her.
As I stepped onto the eighth and ninth steps amid the sound of the bell, the vast starry sky above my head was completely revealed, with the stars twinkling and the resonance of March. On the top of this snow-capped mountain, the starry sky was so close to my head, as if I raised my hand,
You can fish out your own star from the galaxy.
The golden arc of light reverberated from the thirteen golden steps toward the entire snow-capped mountain. Snowflakes flew with the light spots. Shade, who was watching the witch, completely observed the entire sublimation process, and thus obtained the title of "demigod."
The witch is still a human being."
Stepping on the tenth and eleventh steps in the light, the witch stepped on two different boots and continued upward. Under the sea of stars, only gods and outsiders witnessed this unusual scene. The stars were celebrating the birth of demigods.
The shaking snow-capped mountains cheered for her.
Shade's eyes reflected the figure of Miss Chloe. He took a long breath, and the white smoke puffed out like a long dragon in the wind and snow.
"Fifth Era, Silver Mountains, Blizzard Night."
There was a voice in Shade's ears, and the god in white robes appeared beside him at some point. He looked up with him and watched Miss Chloe walk up the steps that belonged to her.
"The witch Chloe Marcus Marquez has completed the trial of the road to demigods."
Shade took the next sentence. The god smiled and watched the scene in front of him. The pure white light made the snowflakes avoid him spontaneously:
"This is her legend, from one to thirteen, from thirteen to one."
Shade's eyes were fixed on the witch high up, watching her long, shimmering silver hair spread out and fly in the snow:
"The sublimation of flesh and blood and soul represents the end of mortals. This is the highest honor of mortals."
Witch Chloe finally stepped onto the 12th and 13th steps. The dark golden door appeared at the end of the stairs at some point. She stopped in front of the last step, then turned her head and looked down.
.
Shade still continued his conversation with the gods:
"I understand everything else, but there is one thing I don't understand: Miss Chloe has completed the sublimation of her body and soul, but this does not mean that she has become a demigod and does not need the assistance of rituals."
He also saw Miss Chloe looking back at him on the last step, her red eyes filled with golden light:
"I know that climbing a snow-capped mountain is a ritual in itself, but for the last step, don't we need additional ritual materials? After all, we still need some arrangements. Why did she complete the last step empty-handed now?"
The old god [Winter Maiden] did not open her mouth, but her calm voice still reached Shade's ears:
"Maybe the ritual materials themselves are hidden on her body."
Shade nodded. God did not look at him, but still gave him an extra reward:
"You have done a great job. Without you, even if she climbed here, she would not be like she is now... I am the god of winter, with the power of seasons and ice and snow, and this comes from two ancient gods.
Gods. Among them, ice and snow are also a form of water..."
Shade turned to look at him in surprise, and the old god [Winter Maiden] said softly:
"A wise man is like water, and knowledge and wisdom...can be recorded, which requires..."
"recorder?"
God didn't make any expression, as if the conversation just now didn't happen at all.
The white mist came from nowhere and wrapped around Shade's body. The adventure in the winter of 903 of the Fifth Epoch had come to its final conclusion. He firmly remembered the prompts given by the gods and vaguely had some ideas.
.
Then he raised his head and waved his right hand to say goodbye to Miss Chloe on the thirteenth step:
"Farewell! Farewell, Miss Chloe!"
He shouted loudly from the top of the mountain. The silver-haired witch closed her eyes, turned around, stretched out her hand, and pushed open the door at the end of the highest step. She stepped over the door and stepped into it.
It was the thirteenth-level witch; amidst the bells and hymns of celebration, what came out of the door was the demigod witch standing in the air with a brand-new attitude.
Star patterns flickered on the dress, and snowflakes danced around her. She opened her arms to face the vast sea of stars and the snow-capped mountains at her feet. The stray light illuminated the night sky, illuminated the Silver Mountains, and also illuminated the
The path the witch took when she came alone.
When he lowered his head to look at the top of the mountain, only Shade's blurry figure was left standing in the snow:
"Goodbye, Chloe! It's nice to meet you, keep going, you'll never be alone!"
The white mist completely disappeared, and the outsiders who did not belong to this era bid farewell to this period of time with loud shouts and waving movements.
The god looked at his believers with a smile. The demigod witch Chloe fell from the sky, her braided silver hair flying in the wind. She bowed and asked softly:
"Will I ever see him again?"
"Your reverberation has remained in his soul."
God embraced his believers, and after the snowflakes drifted and blocked his sight, everything on the top of the Silver Mountains disappeared together. In the wind, the [Impermanent Darkness] flew over the lonely top of the mountain, amidst the wind and snow.
It drifted into the distance of the mountains.
Maybe in the distant future, people will find it in the icebergs of the far north, but for Shade, these are all stories that have already happened.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
ps1: I know that pure tears are definitely not enough to form such a large piece of ice, but extraordinary people have the ability to summon water, and they are not required to use their hands to do it. They can also use their mouths. So, don’t guess in other directions.
, this is a very serious path to being a demigod.
