The power of reversing time seemed to be pushing Iluna back. No matter how bright the light of the dark golden scale in her hand was, she could not stop the power of time. Fortunately, she was about to be forcibly "pushed" out of the performance hall.
, a hand pressed her shoulder from behind, and all the abnormalities from time disappeared instantly.
Iluna turned around and saw that it was indeed Shade behind her:
"Okay, I admit it was a little unexpected. Your eyebrows are really nice."
Shade looked at the situation on the stage and couldn't help but sigh:
"Don't make fun of me. How did it happen here? People in the entire corridor outside disappeared. Did the negative effects of this relic spread so quickly?"
As he spoke, he took Iluna's hand and pulled her behind him. The girl didn't even hold the scale anymore. She directly pulled Shade's clothes with one hand and held the jar of umbilical cord that Shade handed her with the other hand.
Iluna poked her head out from behind him holding the bottle:
"The fortune teller from the Prophet Association gave wrong results. This relic didn't appear here by accident. It was the guy on the stage who brought it here! He fell in love with a local actress, so he used this relic to steal her
Time has frozen, and what I said just now is that I will stay with her until the end of time."
"Time stands still. It's a classic theme. If you can't control your greed and desire, just say it and want to possess it. There's no need to say 'until the end of time'."
The man who was half-fused with the clock pointed at the two people at the door of the performance hall again, but this time he did not say a command about time, but launched his flesh and blood fingers directly towards them. And wrapped in that layer of flesh and blood,
What was struck was not a bone, but a metal pointer.
Where the blood-red pointer crossed, a slender white bright line appeared in the air. And from that bright line, gray-white fog was quietly seeping out.
This pointer seems to be able to directly pierce the stable time. If it is hit by it, it will regress back to the infancy or turn into a pile of withered bones. I am afraid that even the crazy man does not know.
But in the face of such an attack, Shade just raised the black key in his hand forward. While chanting the incantation, the ritual matrix of the sun, moon and stars emerged under his feet, and the black staff "drilled out" from the palm of his hand clanged.
~The pointer flew away.
The blood-red pointer flew diagonally towards the seat beside it and pierced into it, so the seat squirmed and turned into a piece of wood covered with sheepskin:
"It turns out it's really a wool cushion."
Thinking in his mind, the emerald green light spreading from Shade's hand had extended to the entire long staff. And as he pierced the [Staff of Yggdrasil] into the floor tiles with force, the long staff stood upright.
In the aisle of the performance hall:
"The stability principle of the ancient elves!"
The green glow spurted upward, and the flickering light actually formed a large tree with a long staff as its trunk, and slowly extended its branches towards the roof.
As a result, the gray-white mist that just appeared slowly dissipated, and the time anomaly effect exerted by the relic on the stage was quickly compressed to only cover the stage.
Shade didn't think that he could completely offset the effect of the relic by casting a spell, so he was very satisfied with the effect of this magic:
"Iluna, how should we store this relic now?"
"A special piece of red velvet cloth is needed. It only needs to cover the dial position. Just before the secret keeper sent by the church disappeared, that piece of cloth was thrown to the front."
She pointed from behind Shade to a red cloth with a corner exposed under the chair on the left not far in front of the aisle. Shade walked over and picked it up. Iluna followed quickly, and [Yuktrash
"Your Staff" will remain in place for a sustained period of time.
Shade hoped that no one would ask him to pay for the damage to the floor afterward.
The red velvet is quite thick and seems to be made of the fur of extraordinary creatures. The front and back of the velvet are embroidered with a huge sun pattern using gold thread and the runes representing the "World Tree" are embroidered with green thread.
.
Shade checked it and walked to the stage. Iluna immediately said worriedly:
"It's dangerous on stage, be careful."
As the two of them approached the stage, the green light caused by the thaumaturgic effect almost enveloped the entire ceiling of the room, but they could not reach the top of the stage. And the crazy guy on the stage who was fused with the clock seemed to understand that there was something happening under the stage.
It was a "safe area", so we didn't continue the attack.
Its one eye, which was gradually becoming mechanized, stared at Shade. While Shade tried to lift his leg to step onto the first step under the stage, it actually hugged the clock in front of it with one hand, and then used its remaining right leg to
With a sudden jump, half of the people and the clock crashed into Shade like cannonballs.
The time that had gradually stabilized in the room suddenly became abnormal again. Even though Iluna behind Shade was holding the jar of umbilical cord, for a moment she felt like she wanted to hold on to Shade's clothes and cry like a baby.
Of course, Shade didn't want to come into direct contact with the relic, so he pulled Iluna behind him and stepped back before appearing next to the Staff of Yggdrasil, making the clock's "flying" fail.
??????55.??????
The clock was smashed on the steps, and there was a mechanical damage sound inside. Then the half man picked up the clock again, and the next moment it appeared directly in front of the two of them, and once again hit Shade's chest like a cannonball.
.
This is not a space jump, this is a time jump.
"You all just disappear!"
The sound coming out of his half-open mouth was almost indistinguishable. Sparks, springs, screws and other small parts kept popping out of his mouth. At the same time, Iluna stabbed Shade forward from the side with the sunlight gun in her hand.
Golden lightning penetrated the lower half of the clock's base, but this did not affect the monster's continued collision with the two people. The green light on the surface of the long staff was continuously weakening its own time anomaly characteristics, and seeing that the other party really dared to follow,
Shade reached out and pulled out the long staff that was pierced into the ground, and a blood-red light flashed in his eyes.
The long emerald green staff thrust forward, and then easily penetrated the dial. The long staff clearly penetrated the wood under the dial of the clock, but the thud~ sound was clearly the sound of flesh and blood being penetrated.
The beating flesh and blood heart hidden in the wood was pierced by the [Staff of Yggdrasil]. Then, under the extremely surprised gazes of Shade and Iluna, the heart actually seemed to be absorbed by the long staff.
Turned into dust.
"how do you know"
The crazy man used his last strength to point at Shade.
"Because I have a magical ability that allows me to see the modified parts of the human body. Unfortunately, I saw that your body is all made of unnatural ingredients, but there is actually a heart shape inside the clock."
This refers to the "Eye of Edwards".
The man who exhaled his last breath once again turned his finger into a pointer wrapped in flesh and blood and shot at Sha De. But even at such a close distance, it still just brushed Sha De's cheek and he dodged it. The flying pointer was slightly
The two of them pierced the wall behind them. As the wall quickly decayed and collapsed, Iluna screamed in surprise and looked at Shade's face:
"Your face is bleeding!"
Shade raised his hand to wipe his cheek, and sure enough he saw blood stains on his fingers. He shook his head indifferently:
"It will heal soon. I don't look smaller or older, right?"
"No no."
Iluna stared at his face and shook her head, but she was also puzzled as to why Shade was not affected by the pointer. Even though his resistance was amazing, he could never completely resist the effect in front of the relic.
Shade didn't think so much, he raised his hand and pulled out the long staff that penetrated the clock.
Of course, the relic was not destroyed so easily. As the hands of the clock rotated counterclockwise, half of the corpse behind the clock was quickly absorbed by it, and the damage to the clock itself was slowly repaired.
A bit of gray mist drifted out from the damaged part of the clock. Shade frowned and was about to give it another shot, but he didn't expect that an unfamiliar picture appeared in the gray mist.
It was still this performance hall, but the lights were not turned on. A girl in costume walked in alone with a letter in her hand, but not long after entering, she froze in place like a wax figure.
The man who had just died immediately jumped out from behind the door, his arms, legs, chest, back and head tied with densely packed fresh branches with green leaves.
He was not affected by the relic, but as if admiring some peerless treasure, he kept circling the girl with his eyes wide open and looking at her. Finally, he even moved a chair in front of the girl and sat on the chair
He stretched his head and stared at her.
If it weren't for the fact that his chest was still rising and falling when he breathed, Shade would even think that he had been stopped by time.
The scene in the gray fog was accelerating, because many people came here one after another, and then froze in place one after another, making this small hall seem to have turned into a wax museum.
But this did not disturb the man's obsessive viewing. It was not until those people who were stilled, including the first girl, were suddenly swallowed up by the mist and disappeared at a certain moment that the man stood up in surprise.
He turned around and came to the stage, and kept tapping the clock whose second and minute hands had stopped rotating, as if he wanted to repair it. But he didn't notice the gray mist overflowing from the connection on the surface of the clock, so
With a panicked cry, the hand that was supposed to be on the outer shell of the clock "passed" into the interior of the clock, and half of his body became integrated with the clock.
The screen disappeared. Seeing that the gray mist was still trying to spread, Shade waved his staff to disperse them. Things were similar to what Iluna described, but Shade still had questions:
"Did this secret-keeper-level relic have this kind of property before? Will continuous slapping cause humans to become one with it?"
Iluna immediately shook her head:
"It was not written in the containment file at the beginning of the Sixth Era. It is not certain whether this characteristic has not been discovered before, or whether the disaster of time has spread in the material world, causing time relics to change."
