Although Shade and Mr. Barton's group did not leave the house through the same door, because the blood stains on "Professor Magis" were very heavy, when Shade went around the alley behind the house, the bloody light
The halo is still very noticeable.
Especially in foggy weather, those halos are like highlighted display bars in the field of vision:
"The ring magicians from the Truth Society didn't just come after killing people, right?"
In order to prevent being discovered that he was following, Shade did not call a carriage, but walked through the city with Mia Cat on foot.
He walked quickly, and after about an hour he left the city limits and entered the southern suburbs of the city. But the bloodstains did not enter the mountains, but turned into the manor area of the local nobles at the foot of Sikal Mountain.
The "Russell Manor" where the Spiritual Cult opened the narrow passage for Shade a month ago is also nearby.
"Could it be that the ring magicians sent by the [Truth Society] to Fort Midhill this time all gathered in a nearby manor?"
Shade, who was holding the tree in the forest, thought in surprise, but just because he thought of this, he did not continue moving forward:
"It's better to go to the city and tell the witches about this, or tell the church. If a fight really breaks out on my own, I might be reluctant to escape."
"Meow~"
Mia, who was being led by Shade, had long been impatient with unfamiliar cities. At this moment, she seemed to have seen through Shade's thoughts and shouted as if to cater to him.
"Tomorrow I will go deep into the narrow space with the witches, and I will still do it today"
He turned around and was about to leave, but outside the woodland belonging to a certain noble, there was the sound of intensive horse hooves.
Shade subconsciously hid behind the tree, and through the thick fog, he saw a carriage convoy and people on horseback passing in front of him. It was a convoy of the Church of Nature, and the holy emblem on the carriage that could barely be recognized can prove this. And the convoy
Almost half of the people inside were ring warlocks, and one of them was a middle-aged man with weird green hair riding a horse, so much so that Shade didn't even dare to look at him directly.
It's not that the other party has the ability to contaminate spirits, but that Shade is worried that he will find out if he looks directly at him. That man is most likely a thirteen-ring warlock from the Church of Nature.
"What did I encounter? What is the nature church doing? That direction seems to be the direction where the bloody halo extends."
The carriage in the center of the convoy had a strong whisper element, and judging from the concentration of the element alone, it was known that it would definitely not be lower than [Sage Level]. Shade held his breath and leaned against the tree, covering little Mia's mouth, and waited quietly for the convoy to go away.
But before Shade could even exit the forest, the sound of footsteps came from the depths of the forest behind him.
This time they are ring warlocks from the Church of the Sun, with a total of 13 people, which is a standard combat team configuration.
They were not rushing forward, but were scattered around, throwing some sparkling powder into the thick fog. Occasionally, members holding compasses would stop and bury something on the ground, which looked like stone runes.
"Are they setting up a corner of some kind of large ceremony?"
Even though he was holding the witch's jewelry, Shade knew that he was no match for a team full of ring warlocks. He hurriedly walked to the other side of the forest. Fortunately, this foggy weather was very suitable for hiding himself.
In less than ten minutes, another ring warlock appeared in the depths of the fog. This time it was a ring warlock from the Creation Church. Like the others just now, he was throwing powder and burying rune stones. Shade chose a direction to leave again, but
I soon discovered that it was safer to stay where I was.
There seemed to be shadows of magical rituals everywhere in the fog. It seemed that in just half an hour, a huge regional magical ritual had already set up its base formation nearby. The elements were being pulled, and the church's ring warlocks
They were walking through the fog. If Shade guessed correctly, something big was going to happen.
"It seems that the church has completely surrounded this place. Things are developing more smoothly than I thought. If the truth will be completely destroyed and Mr. Joey Barton is caught by the church again, then I will be in Midhill this autumn
Everything Bao did had the most perfect ending."
Shade did not advance toward the center of the church's encirclement, nor did he break out toward the periphery. Instead, he stayed in the woodland, hoping to wait for the incident to be over before leaving safely.
The wait lasted from afternoon to evening. Shade sat on a branch and watched with Mia the sun on the horizon sliding toward the west in the thick fog. As the bright sunset appeared little by little on the horizon, the sun gradually disappeared.
Behind Mount Sikar.
The light and shadow shone on Shade and the cat, and the mottled shadows kept shaking on the ground. It was as if they were completely still, while time was flowing rapidly.
The last sunset reflected the faces of one person and one cat red. Shade looked at the sun and thought about the future, while Mia stared at the red sun with wide eyes. It seemed to understand something, but it seemed like it didn’t understand anything.
.
The wind brought someone's thoughts from a distance, and then passed by them. Looking at the sun disappearing into the horizon, time passed faster than Shade thought.
And when the last trace of the setting sun completely disappeared, the fog still covered the sky, making it impossible to easily peek into the sea of stars.
With the help of [Moon Shadow's Illusion], Shade was very confident that he would not be discovered by anyone.
And around seven o'clock in the evening, the peaceful night finally became rippled.
As the originally normal elemental environment around me suddenly experienced strange fluctuations, "she" in my ear gave a hint.
Shade climbed to the top of the tree and looked out with the cat. Deep in the thick fog, under the western sky, the shadow of a huge green tree suddenly appeared. The giant tree was far taller than any other tree in the forest, as if it could
Support the sky and the earth.
The green halo reflected the fog in the distance, and the green trees were silent. But just by looking at it, you could even feel the natural power that seemed to embrace everything. But soon, the giant trees collapsed into stars.
Little bits of light lingered in the night sky like a tornado.
"What a rich source of enlightenment. What happened over there?"
Shade hurriedly put the Mia cat on top of his head and squinted his eyes to see more clearly:
"Is this a mythical lock? Or is it a word of sublimation? It's the thirteen-ring warlock from the Church of Nature who is doing it. Who is his opponent?"
The scattered green light spots also came to the forest where Shade was located a few minutes later. Those green lights seemed completely harmless, but they swayed with the wind, making the quiet night in the fog become more and more blurry.
At 7:10 in the evening, shortly after the enlightenment element erupted in the distance, a bloody light suddenly flashed into the sky, and then there was a rumbling sound like an entire arms warehouse exploding, spreading continuously under the night sky.
【Whispering Elements.】
"I know, what level of relic is this? Is this sound and light effect too exaggerated?"
But something even more exaggerated happened next. Shade held the cat and stared at the mist in the sky dumbfounded. As the blood light in the sky suddenly became weaker, the starry sky appeared above his head. Then, the stars in the distance shifted,
A twisted black hole suddenly appeared in the blurry sea of stars. After just one glance, Shade immediately heard the slippery whispers of squirming tentacles.
He immediately looked away:
"What's in there?"
A huge meteorite wrapped in flames "slowly" flew out of the black hole, leaving traces of fragmentation in the air, and directly hit the battlefield in the distance.
The flame tail pulled out by the huge fireball was not normal. Instead, it looked like fiery red tentacles that were constantly squirming and swaying. When he saw the meteorite, the whisper in Shade's ears became clearer, and the voice tempted him to worship.
A great man who lives in the starry sky. That great man has the ability to call meteorites:
"Damn it, the Truth Society used an angel-level relic?"
Even though the impact point of the meteorite was extremely far away from Shade, watching it fall, the primitive panic in my heart still couldn't be shaken off. As the whispers became louder and louder, the fireball finally hit the ground.
Shade originally thought that there would be an earthquake or something like that, but he didn't expect that a golden light lit up all around. Then, the fog in the entire area was lit up by the golden aura on the ground. If you look down at the foot of Sikal Mountain, the standard
Round blooms among rugged mountains.
In the light of the magical ritual that had been arranged, a huge figure with golden wings on its back appeared in the sky in the thick fog.
The giant-like faceless angel was wearing a simple robe, but dense golden runes could be seen looming on the robe. Amidst the sound of the whistle that almost penetrated the eardrums, behind the angel appeared a figure that was completely proportional to his body shape.
The life ring of a huge twelve-ring warlock.
This is the first time that Shade has observed the life ring so clearly. The central core spiritual rune is [Holy] and [Spirit Summoning]. There are more than fifty (note) spiritual runes in the twelve rings, and most of them are related to the concepts of summoning and divine magic.
related.
The huge rotating brass life ring faced the meteorite head-on, and then as the giant angel slashed out the golden sword, the fiery red and golden light dissipated at the same time. In the light that illuminated the entire area, flames dragged like tentacles.
The meteorite at the end disappeared silently.
Shade no longer knew what to say:
"Is this the twelve-ring warlock of the church, using the power of magical rituals to directly compete with highly dangerous relics? I know that as long as the Zhengshen Church is prepared, those lunatics will never succeed. Which one is this?
?[Star Summoning Magic Stone], [Wriggling Star Skeleton] or [Star Charm]? Oh!"
The shock wave generated by the collision between the divine ritual and the star-calling relic almost knocked Shade to the ground, who was watching the excitement in the tree. The surrounding trees rustled, and the already withered leaves in late autumn fell with the wind.
After this blow that seemed to be able to level Sikal Mountain, a painful wail came from a distance, echoing continuously in the silent night. Then there was another muffled sound, and the ground shook slightly.
At this time, Shade had brought the frightened cat back to the ground from the top of the tree. He was leaning against the tree under the cover of illusion, waiting for what would happen next.
Rumbling sounds continued to be heard, and the looming golden aura on the ground floated with the frequency of breathing. A dark light rose into the sky, and was then covered by the light of divine magic. Someone could vaguely be heard shouting the words of sublimation under the night sky, but because of the fog,
Even though the sound is blocked, I can't hear clearly.
The Zhengshen Church is encircling and suppressing the [Truth Society], which is not a fair battle in itself. After seeing tonight's scene, Shade once again confirmed that as long as the church is prepared in advance, there is no ring warlock force in the material world that can compete with them. Three
Except for the Grand Academy of Thaumaturgy.
PS: The minimum number of twelve rings is 48, but it is not necessarily necessary to upgrade with four rings per ring.
