Now that Emilia can try her own method, everyone splits up. Vanessa returns to the church's camp to join Megan and Flora, and informs the church that the "God Caller" has plans. Regardless of Amy,
Whether Leah's method is feasible or not, White Ape Canyon will be a truly forbidden area from now on.
Miss Olanode walked with the two of them. Not only did she have special resistance because of her status as a thirteenth-level witch, but she also received the blessing of the tree father because of her status as an "assistant in the Time War".
It is also for this reason that the "Blade of the Sky" "survived" last week's collective shrinkage event among the thirteen-ring warlocks.
The three of them moved very quickly. When they returned from the top of the mountain to the canyon, the only traces of the battle with the monster were fallen dead trees everywhere.
Emilia was actually very curious about what the monster was, but Shade couldn't tell:
"The other party may be a time traveler who accidentally entered the doomsday time and space for other reasons. Speaking of which, I have encountered things that inexplicably emerged from the cracks in time before, and the other party seems to be wearing an emerald ring."
"She" chuckled in his ear, and Xia De was startled, and immediately realized the cause and effect.
But the most important thing now is the black fissure. As the three of them got closer and closer to the black building in the canyon, both Miss Olanold and Emilia showed signs of discomfort.
What surprised Shade was that the first thing that protected Emilia was not the crown on her head, but the vein pattern that suddenly appeared on the back of her right hand. The power of the chosen ones of time is spontaneously resisting the doomsday.
The power is the same even without Emilia's active control.
"Miss Olanold, can you tell the origin of this building?"
When the black building came into view in the dead forest, Shade asked softly. The yellow-haired witch stood beside Shade, her frown was to resist the discomfort at the moment, but she could still answer Shade's question.
:
"It looks like a mausoleum."
"Mausoleum?"
"Yes, it's not just ring warlocks who can lose control. In fact, according to Teacher Feliana's investigation, since the end of the First Era, any system of extraordinary beings may lose control. And even after a powerful extraordinary person dies, his or her ability to lose control will remain the same.
Corpses are still terrifying, so the ancient Death Cult constructed a method of using mausoleums to seal out-of-control corpses.
The building in front of us is very similar to the 'underground sealed mausoleum' described in ancient books, and it is likely that the same technology is used."
Now that the origin of the technology has been found, once the crack is restored to a controllable state, the church and college can completely find a way to repair the mausoleum and restore it to its original state.
After crossing the lightless black arch and entering the interior of the building, the dark and oppressive atmosphere made Emilia subconsciously hold her breath.
There are more dry tree roots everywhere than before, and in the center of the building, the crack that is the only "light source" is still tightly locked by the wriggling tree roots. On the high platform directly below the crack, there are piles of dead trees.
The tree roots are gradually turning into sand and disappearing, otherwise there will be more tree roots accumulated here.
Seeing that the expressions of Emilia and Miss Olanode were not good, Shade held their hands from left to right. After the three of them came to the crack, he immediately pulled out their hands again.
The staff uses the "ancient elven stability principle".
When the green canopy of trees covered their heads, their expressions became slightly better.
Without anyone urging her, Emilia, who was wearing the crown, took the initiative to walk to the crack. The dense tree roots wrapped around the crack seemed to be slightly loosened consciously, allowing the elf to face the light in the crack.
.
Emilia's face turned pale, but she still raised her right hand and pointed it at the light in front of her. At this moment, the veins on the back of her hand were shining with light. The thirteen-ring emerald life ring behind her almost resonated with the "Elven Kingship".
Then in the blurry emerald green light, several tall figures appeared around Emilia.
Shade couldn't see their specific faces. The only thing that was certain was that they all had the iconic pointed ears of the elves. There were men and women among them, but even the shortest one was taller than Shade.
Much more.
Those figures were either wearing elf-style light armor or embroidered long skirts. All the figures followed Emilia and stretched out her hand towards the crack. At this moment, the emerald green light finally illuminated
Every corner of the building is covered.
[The Staff of Yggdrasil] also resonated. The shadow of the green tree finally broke through the limitations of the building. From the perspective of people in the outside camp, the giant tree rose from the center of the canyon and finally covered it.
covering the entire middle section of the canyon.

In the hands of Emilia and many Elf King shadows, the crack gradually closed inward, and the power of the ancient Elf Kings who had been blessed by the Tree Father was fully activated at this moment. Those figures and Emilia grasped the crack together
He held it tightly in his hand, and the tree roots that emerged from the ground wrapped around the crack even harder.
But this seemed not enough, because after all, Emilia did not have the strength to face the doomsday for a long time. When the elf gritted her teeth and was about to faint, strong hands supported her back, and then she felt herself leaning against
Sha De's arms, and Sha De's right hand reached out from her side.
Shade's hand held Emilia's hand, and the feeling of seizing time and space just after attaching [Teardrops of Farewells] appeared again. In the end, the dim yellow light became weaker and weaker, until it was just
The last trace is still contained in the emerald green light.
This was already the limit. The glimmer of light on the back of Emilia's hands and the crown above her head also began to weaken at this time. When darkness fell around again, the active tree roots had completely disappeared, leaving only the three people in front of them.
That tiny crack as long as your middle finger.
A weak and dim light seeped out from it. At this time, even if Shade stopped casting spells, Emilia and Miss Olanold, who were exposed to that ray of light, no longer felt unsteady.
However, Emilia was still very exhausted. Not only did the crown on her head no longer shine, she even felt like she couldn't open her eyes. Shade carefully held her in his arms, and Miss Olanode explained:
"On certain special occasions related to the stability of the world, she can borrow the power of the ancient elf kings just like she did just now. Although those elf kings in ancient times were demigods like the great witches of the fifth era, they
He is a demigod blessed by God, which is far beyond the understanding of later generations.
Only this kind of power can stabilize time again, but it seems that this crack is still active."
"Yes."
Shade put his trembling right hand around Emilia's waist, and stretched his left hand to the crack:
"It is still trying to expand, and this method can only maintain safety for a period of time. Next time it expands again, I am afraid it will be more dangerous than it showed just now. I think only the chosen ones of time have the ability to completely control it.
"
"Don't you have any method?"
Miss Olanode asked Shade, who frowned and hesitated:
"Not long ago, I cast a spell to freeze time. But this is different. The last time I froze was just a chaotic and disorderly time zone, and I only temporarily froze it, and then passed through it safely. This time has already taken shape in front of me.
Cracks are much stronger than that, let alone permanent freezing, which I can't do yet."
The cracks were temporarily controlled, and the rest was left to the church and college. Vanessa, Megan and Flora, who returned to the ship one step ahead, also brought Emilia back to everyone successfully.
, and has become good news for eighth-ring warlocks.
"Who did she bring back? Miss Feliana?"
Luvia is very concerned about this issue. Although Miss Seer is confident that she has a unique position in Shade's heart, she still believes that she has a few possible "opponents", the most dangerous of which is undoubtedly Mana Feline.
Anna.
"No. The person who came back with Amelia is your college's first librarian, Miss Bryony Olanold. Speaking of which, except for Shade, no one has ever seen that person.
Miss?"
"That lady appeared during the Battle of Pantanal, summoned by Shade's sublimated words, but no one except Iluna should have seen her up close at that time."
Luvia pointed out that she didn't care much when she heard that it wasn't Miss Feliana, but the "other me" in her ears mocked her with some evil humor because she thought too much, and the long-haired Luvia just
I don't worry at all that my charm will not be as good as those old women from the Fifth Era.
Now that such an important guest has arrived, the witches and Miss Elise are making preparations to hold a welcome dinner on the ship as Shade said yesterday. Miss Danister, who heard the news a little later, had a very expression on her face.
of complexity.
"Why, are you no longer confident now?"
Flora teased her friend from the side:
"Although I also know that compared to the first-generation librarian of the Fifth Era, you don't have many advantages except age, but I still support you, Danist."
The red-haired girl rolled her eyes at her - this action was very girlish:
"Although Shade rarely mentioned the affairs of those ladies in the early days of the academy, we had several detailed conversations in the summer after Miss Feliana left. Although he did not admit it, he certainly did not simply repay those ladies as teachers.
Students’ feelings.”
"Just like you?"
"Flora~"
"Why are you always unwilling to face your own thoughts? I thought Xiwei and the others were 'reserved' enough, but now it seems that this is really a common problem among the sorceresses of our era."
The two of them are still in the hotel. Shade plans to move to the hotel tonight. Flora will move out by then, so she wants to linger a little longer.
