Whispering Verse

"Yes, they are those nuns, and the council has a very good relationship with the nuns of the [Spiritual Order]... What is your expression?"

Tifa looked at Shade suspiciously.

"Actually, I have always thought that the relationship between the Witch Council and any group of ring magicians is not good."

Shade spoke his mind. After all, most of the witches had weird personalities.

Tifa gave him an angry look;

"The Speaker has a lot of friends. Why are they here? It's really strange, but these are friends. Shade, let's catch up. But you don't have to go forward. I will contact them and ask about things here."

Beyond the area in front of us is the Millwood Forest where the core of the [Dark Domain] is located. Obtaining some information at this time will be very beneficial for the next action.

Although Tifa must be by Shad's side in order to move safely in the core of the dark realm, since those nuns can also shine, it's okay for Tifa to stay away from Shad for the time being.

The two hurriedly caught up, and Shade stopped at a safe distance. Tifa walked alone across dozens of meters of darkness towards the walking nuns.

They were dressed in white clothes and black skirts and walked in basically the same pace. If encountered at night, Shade would feel that they were more like a group of female ghosts.

Tifa's appearance aroused the vigilance of the nuns. Although everyone covered their eyes with eye patches, this did not seem to affect their perception.

Tifa made a gesture and took out a pendant from around her neck, thereby gaining the trust of the nuns. They talked in low voices for less than three minutes, and then the nuns continued to set off, but looking at the direction, they were not heading towards the forest ahead.

Tifa turned back to Shade. Judging from her expression, she must have received good news:

"The nuns saw the young lady half an hour ago and gave her directions!"

"So where is Miss Carina now?"

"The forest ahead, but the forest is already covered with black crystals. At least when we met for half an hour, the lady was in good condition."

Tifa pointed forward, and Shade looked over there, clearly seeing a giant black stone pillar that seemed to penetrate the sky and the earth.

"Any news on Darkness?"

"Forty minutes ago, there was another battle nearby. The nuns said that the sinner possessed by the devil used an extremely filthy form to push back the team of ring warlocks from the Church of Dawn who were the first to catch up, and wounded one of the senior members. The Ring Warlock then also moved towards the center of the field."

"So is there anyone else around here?"

"Before we came, there were three lone high-level warlocks who appeared, but they were forced back by the people of the church. In addition, the iron right hand who created the church should also have gone to the core of the field, 20 minutes later than Darkness. , ten minutes later than Miss. Bloodweeper Hermons was indeed being chased by the Sunshine Sword just now. If there weren’t other things to deal with, the two thirteen-ring warlocks from the church would have joined forces to prevent him from leaving."

Tifa said, walking forward with Shade. They arrived a little late and missed the battle that took place here. It seemed that everything had come to an end and they only had time to watch the ending.

"So what are those nuns here for? Why does it sound like they're always around?"

"I don't know either."

Tifa shook her head regretfully:

"They are also here for the second chosen one, but they don't seem to be here to kill him. But don't worry, Sister Tiffany, who is leading the team this time, is only slightly better than me. She is a seven-ring warlock. They have no intention of moving forward. Walking."

The nuns had only stopped in this direction, and only saw people who continued to move in this direction, so there should be more than just the ring warlocks they mentioned in the core of the domain.

Shade and Tifa continued to move forward, and the thick darkness became even denser in this position, and their bodies could almost feel a substantial sense of oppression.

The blessing given to Shad by Priest August was being worn away a lot, and Tifa's condition was also not good. But as long as they don't fight, they can still hold on.

The black crystal particles on the ground are becoming denser and larger. After bidding farewell to the nuns, they soon saw an old man lying on the ground wearing a gray robe among the crystals on the ground.

When I got closer, I found that he was still alive, but had fallen asleep. After Shade turned him over, Tifa recognized that this was Mr. Modelo, the eleventh-ring warlock of the Peace Church. Although there appeared to be no scars on the outside, his breathing was very weak.

It was already the evening of the day. Shade used [Cyndia's Silver Moon Gift] and [Satisfying Food] to treat him, and Tifa also took out a small bottle of green magic potion. After drinking the potion, Mr. Modelo's eyelids moved, as if he wanted to open them but could not.

Shade then put his ear close and heard the old man murmuring a word in a low voice:

"vampire."

"Vampire? [Blood Spirit School] is indeed related to the vampire clan. It seems that there is at least one high-level alien ahead."

Tifa said worriedly, because basic common sense is that alien ring magicians of the same level are stronger than human ring magicians.

"We need to leave quickly. It seems we are really late. I hope the battle is not over yet."

Shade said.

Continuing forward, I saw several ring warlocks from the Zhengshen Church one after another. Two of them have expired, and one can be given a [false immortality] state and escape from serious injuries after treatment.

Most of the injured had traces of corrosion from [Human Pus] on their bodies. Shade conducted emergency rescue for the people who were still alive, but because the moonlight at his fingertips was severely suppressed, he failed to dispel the human pus.

He can only do what he can do, but when this incident is over, the church should be able to find a way to treat these injured people.

Moving forward, a ring magician who does not belong to the church appears. He was also in a coma, and no identification was found after checking his belongings. Tifa suspected that these were other helpers gathered by the Bloodweeper when he went to Tobesk. Since he had long planned to assist Darkness in the ceremony, there was no reason why there was no one else around.

So they were not sure how many enemies were ahead.

The oppressive darkness made every breath a little difficult. The silver light of his body and the golden light behind him barely supported his weak vision. At 7:23 pm, Tifa was finally able to see the black pillar that penetrated the sky and the earth in the darkness. Five minutes later, they passed through the empty town covered by giant black crystals and entered the strange and twisted Millwood. forest.

Now, it would be more appropriate to call this place the Crystal Forest.

On the outskirts of the Crystal Forest, Shade finally saw two high-level warlocks from the Church of the Sun, joining forces to fight against a tall demon.

The demon looked almost the same as the demon that Shade had fought with in the cornfield, but it looked more powerful and could fight by splitting its own body organs.

The body that seemed to be dismembered was floating in the air, drawing power from the rich darkness, and looked extremely terrifying.

Tifa, who knew more information, told Shad that this was the demon "The Hidden One" who guarded the dark realm, and was an alienated individual born among the Servants of the Hidden. If it appeared in the outside world, this kind of demon would require at least two mid-level warlocks to deal with it, and in the dark realm, even two high-level warlocks might not be able to defeat it.

Bypassing the two sides in the battle, they formally entered the crystallized forest under the trunk of the giant tree. Although the surroundings were still silent, the elements of chaos showed that there were more ring warlocks in this forest than imagined.

There are signs of battle everywhere along the way, because no matter which side wants to advance, it must defeat the demon guarding here.

At this time, the ground beneath his feet had turned completely black in this crystal forest, and there were more and more black shadows wandering around. They were moving forward with some difficulty. The [Box of Darkness] carried by Tifa had more and more black scars, and the four metal amulets were almost completely broken.

Fortunately, Priest August's blessing helped Shade see further, allowing them to avoid most of the battles. The demons living here have stronger senses than Shad, so when a few demons discovered them, Shad and Tifa were forced to open the [Dark Box] to escape.

Although this will increase the risk of the relic losing control, the demons in the crystal forest are no longer something they can deal with. After all, this is the core of the angel-level relics. Even if it can be reached successfully, the monsters guarding here cannot be solved by a medium-level warlock and a low-level warlock.

But even so, they finally failed to pass through the crystal forest and reach the center safely.

It wasn't that he was stopped by a demon, or that he encountered an unexpected ring warlock. When he was able to pass through the gap between the crystal trees and see the spiritual light flashing in the center of the forest, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook, and then it seemed as if the whole world was screaming shrilly.

The sound came from all directions, like a giant roaring in the darkness, or a ferocious beast roaring from before the era, but more like a terrifying evil spirit wailing in the middle of the night.

"Be careful, the situation is not right, the decisive battle has already begun, right?"

Shade and Tifa supported each other and saw the deep and thick darkness in the surrounding space, rushing towards the center of the crystal forest like a flowing trickle. Instead of returning the surroundings to normal, the flow of darkness made the chaotic whispering elements stronger.

At this moment, the silver moonlight on Shade's body was compressed to the extreme, and the four metal amulets tied around Tifa's waist were all shattered. With a crackling sound, crystals on the surface of the trees and the ground began to spread in all directions.

The spreading crystals clung to all surrounding objects, and naturally surrounded the two of them instantly.

But due to the light on Shade's body, the dark crystal did not climb onto him. But Tifa's situation was a bit worse. When Shade noticed, Tifa's legs were completely wrapped in those black crystals, and they almost immediately spread from the waist to the chest.
