Whispering Verse

Although it was already late at night in Huntington City, the vampire Mr. Bernhardt was still holding a wine glass and standing on the second-floor terrace of his manor, watching the black clouds covering the falling snow clouds at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His keen sense made him vaguely aware of the truth represented by the black cloud, and the slight trembling on the ground indicated that something big was about to happen next. He looked at the ripples of red liquid in the wine glass in his hand, closed his eyes and prayed softly.

It was already dark in Tobesk City, but Tifa and Luvia still hadn't rested. Little Mia was sleeping on the sofa next to Luvia. At the same time as the spreading "click" sound in the swamp was heard, the cat suddenly opened its eyes.

Luvia then turned to look to the southwest. In Tifa's confused look, she reached out and pressed her chest:

"Shadow."

Although Shade delayed and even defeated the "Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom", when the starry sky reached the correct position, the evil things in Pantanal still followed the instructions of Luvia of Tobesk and the vampire prophet of Huntington City. As Mr. Johnson predicted, break free from the seal and return to the material world. The shattering of the seal core of the entire Great Swamp also means that other subspace evils that were sealed throughout the Great Swamp will also return to the real world.

Corpses with mushrooms growing on their backs were running in the swamp, and blood-colored and gray-green vines flowed like long snakes from the feet of the high-ring warlocks fighting in the air. The fire, centered on the Pantanal Lake, dyed the core of the Everglades red, while a green barrier invisible to ordinary people was rising from the edge of the Everglades.

The divine rituals prepared by the Orthodox Church for the worst case scenario have been carried out, at least to ensure that evil things will not break through the Pantanal region.

On the top of the lighthouse on the island in the center of the lake where the wind and snow were swaying, Sister Devlin's gray hair on her forehead was already soaked with sweat as her palms were pointed at the large kerosene lamp in the center. In the Stonehenge under the tower, excessive weakness almost caused Shade to Unsteady standing.

He wanted to say something else, but the violent shaking of the ground forced people to look around. Amidst the loud noises, cracks clearly appeared on the surface of the island. As the earth shook violently, dense ravines that seemed to lead directly to the underground abyss penetrated the entire island amidst the loud noises.

At the bottom of the ravine, a penetrating red light emerged, and denser thick gray-green tentacles crawled out along the stone wall. All of this was exactly the same as what the vampire soothsayer said.

"careful!"

Ground cracks also appeared under the lighthouse in the northeastern part of the island. The light from the top of the lighthouse forced the cracks to stop, but they still penetrated Stonehenge.

Without anyone expecting it, thick tentacles shot out from the cracks in the ground like a swarm of snakes, sweeping towards the three people in Stonehenge. But with the light of the dark golden scales and the sword light of the [Night Watch], the group of tentacles was swept away, but there was still a tentacle wrapped around the right side of Lykins Plisha who was weak and lying on the ground. His legs dragged him to the ground.

At this time, no one cared about Lykins Prisha's life or death. The high-level warlocks who could reach here took off one after another, preparing to face the final battle that was about to begin.

Sister Devlin at the top of the lighthouse is also ready to fight at this moment. Even if she fails to burn the evil thing in the worst case, she is willing to sacrifice herself to trap the evil thing on this island forever and trap it. Once again exiled from the physical world.

People tacitly agreed not to talk to the God Caller who was suspected of becoming the "Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom" by unknown means. The heavy fog that flowed to the ground during the cracking of the earth also completely obscured the witches' understanding of Stonehenge. The perception of what is happening in the center.

At this time, Iluna had already stumbled towards Shad and hugged him as he fell beside the bonfire in the center of Stonehenge:

"Shad, Shad!"

She shouted a few times in panic, then looked up and looked around. Deep in the thick fog, densely packed giant tentacles stood and squirmed like pillars supporting the sky. In just a few minutes, she heard at least five sublimation words from the thirteen-ring warlocks.

The traces of chaotic elements seriously confuse perception. This doomsday-like scene in the snowstorm is a result that Iluna did not expect:

"We have obviously defeated the chosen one, but..."

"It's okay. This scene is destined to happen, I know it."

Shade struggled to open his eyes and held Iluna's right hand. He now felt that every part of his body was urging him to sleep immediately:

"Don't worry, I will always be prepared for anything I do."

The overflowing state of divinity was about to completely subside. Shade tried his best to open his eyes wide and look into the eyes of Iluna who was holding him:

"Do you believe me?"

"certainly!"

The seventeen-year-old girl nodded quickly.

"Luvia's dream made me guess a lot of things; the vampire's prophecy also said that this is the first step to the end. How could I not be prepared? Iluna, retreat outside Stonehenge, I want to use this Ancient ritual arrays enhance my Word of Ascension. Remember, protect yourself."

The shaking on the ground seems to never stop. Smoke, black snow, explosions, fire, and apocalyptic scenes have surrounded everything living here. The girl with long brown hair tried hard to control the urge to cry. She always felt that Shade's current existence was so vague, as if he was about to leave the next moment:

"You'll always be here, right?"

"Don't worry, our story is not over yet. Are you ready for the New Year's Day gift for me? I can hardly keep my eyes open."

Iluna endured the endless worries in her heart, helped Shade up, and asked him to stand up while holding the [Night Watcher] pierced into the ground, while she ran towards the outskirts of Stonehenge:

"As promised, you have to accept my New Year's Day gift alone!"

Probably because the thirteen huge stones from ancient times are still exerting their power, there is only one crack in the ground that penetrates the Stonehenge ground, and it has been closed. Iluna rode her skeleton horse into the sky and watched the thick fog completely surround Stonehenge. She could only see the thirteen clusters of bonfires in Stonehenge and the black shadows of those stone pillars.

Shade, who struggled to stand by the central bonfire, straightened up with his sword in his hand. The voice of "her" in his ear made his consciousness slightly clearer:

[Since you are prepared to face this scene in advance, do you need to use divinity? 】

"No, you only need to use divinity to deal with gods."

He made a request in his heart:

"I don't want to see some purple-eyed diviner crying and cooperating with me. I want to forcefully use the word of sublimation."

He could no longer distinguish whether the strange and terrifying visions that appeared in the thick fog and firelight in the dark night and the ringing in his ears were real or his hallucinations before he was about to fall into coma:

"help me."

[Forcibly using the words of sublimation requires paying a price. 】

"I understand, but no matter what, I can't make that so-called prophecy come true. Otherwise, what's the point of me coming here?"

In the thick fog, a circular black shadow appeared behind Sha De. In the sound of whistles and bells, the shadow moved from far to near, and the life ring was suspended behind him:

"Doctor Schneider said that forcibly using the language of sublimation requires the cooperation of the 'other self'. Moreover, the final power of divinity overflowing, plus this Stonehenge. Come on."

In a daze, he heard a sigh from the sky. Shade, whose spirit was completely in decline, was forced to kneel on the ground on one knee, trying to maintain his final consciousness.

He heard the sound of the bell, which was not the sound when the life ring appeared, but the sound from higher up, further away, from the other side of time. Finally, it was determined that the sourceless bell sound actually came from himself.

The night was already deep, and the blizzard was shaking on the island like a doomsday scene, flying between the tentacles and the ring warlocks in the sky.

when! when! when!

The bells that rang again and again were finally heard clearly by everyone, but no one could confirm the source of the bells like Shade.

Only Iluna, who was worried about Shade above the Stonehenge, saw the shadow of the giant tree rising from the Stonehenge, and saw the thirteen stone pillars shining at the same time. This time is different from when it was used by Lykins Prisha just now. The runes on each stone pillar light up at the same time, and the leaf-shaped runes are responding to the great power that belongs only to time.

"Echoes of Time and Space"

A soft murmur came from Shade's mouth. He felt another existence appear behind him, but he had no way of knowing what exactly appeared behind him.

He felt a gentle body appear behind him. The body was back to back with him, and the life rings emitting the ultimate spiritual light were suspended above their heads.

Never before, even when using divinity, have I sensed the "other me" so clearly, the existence of "her". At this moment, "she" was behind him, and he could even feel the touch of the long hair brushing against his neck, and he could even see the blurry reflection of the silver figure on the shining silver sword in front of him:

"Shaking, sleeping."

The five wise men's pyroxenes embedded in [Aiken'ora - Arrow of the Chosen] shone brightly, and the turbulent passive bells had spread from the island in the middle of the lake to the entire swamp.

Amidst the sound of the bell, the snowflakes fluttering in the strong wind caused a strange lag every ten seconds. And the dark night was inexplicably cast a layer of gray in the sound of the bell.

"strength."

He finished reciting his words of sublimation, feeling sleepy in his heart, but he never heard any words from "her" behind him.

However, he felt the great sleeping powers and the remaining traces of the departed gods, but he could not wake up any of the sleeping gods.

"I"

He no longer had the strength to do anything, and even his hands could no longer hold the hilt of the sword tightly, and his body inevitably fell towards the fire.

At this time, gentle hands supported Xia De's body from behind. He felt the body behind him hug him from behind, allowing him to stand up. When he tried his best to open his eyes, he seemed to see silver translucent arms, wrapping themselves around him:

[My dear stranger, it is not the gods of the past you are trying to awaken. 】

"What is it."

There was a chuckle, as if the soft moonlight was shining on him again. The original feeling of sleepiness was gradually disappearing. In the sound of bells that echoed from the island in the middle of the lake to the Great Swamp, from the Great Swamp to the west of the Old World, and from the west of the Old World to the entire material world, Shade felt in his heart. Got the answer:

【Those people you/I have been attached to in time. 】

ps: sigh.
