Chapter 3396 The Possessed Witch
With Shad's boat, the group could move more safely and quickly.
After moving forward, apart from encountering a group of "White Candle Monks" with white candles on their heads, they did not encounter any other troubles for a long distance.
As we got closer to our destination, our mood became a little better. The cold wind blew in our faces as the boat moved quickly. The mist had turned into thick fog, which looked even more terrifying on the lightless plain.
The fog became thicker and thicker, until even if Sister Belen raised the lantern in her hand, she could not illuminate the scenery half a meter away around the boat. This scene was obviously wrong, but even the hound could not remember what sign it was when something appeared.
"Why did the wind stop?"
Miss Violet suddenly asked, and then everyone realized that although they could still feel the air moving, the moving air was only because the boat was moving fast.
Shade then stopped the boat directly, and the bottom of the boat touched the ground with a slight collision. The witches stood on the boat with Shade and looked around. Everyone raised their hands, and lights of different colors lit up.
Strangely enough, after they used the light magic together, the fog around them suddenly dissipated, and everyone's faces became quite ugly.
The two sides were no longer a wasteland lined with tombstones. The appearance of a wall was just a small matter, but the key point was that the sky above was no longer black. Two meters above the head was a thick rock wall. Even though [Strong Spatial Perception] was not very effective in such a chaotic place of time and space, Xia De could sense that everyone was actually underground.
The Hound told everyone that the underground part of the [Tombstone Wasteland] is much larger than the above-ground area, and the "Great Tomb" in the underground world is the area that is truly controlled by the owner of that kingdom.
At this moment, they came underground inexplicably, but no one on the boat knew how this happened.
The current location seemed to be in the corridor of a large tomb. In front and behind were passages extending far away, and on the walls on both sides were colorful and detailed murals. Compared with the shabby corridor, those murals looked like they were just painted.
The murals on the left and right generally depict the story of a very beautiful woman, but the four paintings that Xia De saw alone included bizarre scenes such as chi/壬, yi.n銮, etc.
The back of the corridor was the direction they came from, and the front of the corridor was their destination. The rock wall above their heads soon proved to be unbreakable, and when Miss Violet tried to break the murals on both sides, the instinctive sense of danger made the Witch Queen, who was currently in a bad state, stop:
"Keep going. I want to see what's going on."
The boat then glided forward in the corridor, and everyone stood up and looked in one direction.
At first, Theresa was interested in looking at the colorful murals around her, but soon she lowered her head because of the overly bizarre and terrifying scenes. However, even if she stopped looking, the nausea and pain in her temples still did not disappear.
Miss Liad took out a small bottle from her pocket and handed it to her:
"When we go to a tomb, unless we go there for the murals or the stone tablets, we never look closely at any pictures, words or symbols in the tomb. Some pictures themselves are the remnants of ancient power. Drink this, it's minty, I like it very much."
"Mrs. Swelling."
Sister Belen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke at this moment;
"There are still traces of fire in the wounds I left on it, and now there are traces of those embers ahead. Madam Swelling is waiting for us ahead."
Standing at the stern, Shade looked ahead at the corridor:
"There's no way to avoid it now. Since it's waiting for us, let's go meet it. The current situation is not the worst. When I saw the mural just now, I thought there was a mermaid buried here."
The corridor of this underground tomb is a one-way street. The boat went straight forward without encountering any forks in the road. After just three minutes, it reached the end.
"Dead end?"
The boat stopped and everyone left. After preparing for battle, Shade and Miss Violet approached the wall in front of them and found a rusty bronze skull embedded in the seemingly smooth wall.
The shape of the skull was extremely simple, and each bone was engraved with indecipherable mottled runes. Shade immediately recognized what it was:
"Soul-casting Skeleton!"
"what?"
The Witch Queen at the side asked in confusion, and Xia De explained:
"This is a forbidden alchemical weapon made by the people of the Second Age using ancient knowledge. It is used for guarding and sealing. I have encountered this thing twice. Once the skeleton was holding a stone slab, and once it was holding a stone box."
Xia De blinked his eyes, and suddenly realized something. He turned around and asked Theresa who was looking behind him warily:
"Speaking of which, there is something I forgot to ask you, Theresa. Do you still remember the sword we first met at Lost Lake?"
"Is it the Night Watchman?"
At that time, the Night Watch was in their hands by the lake (Chapter 877), so there was no problem with that. So Shade asked again:
"I didn't see you with that sword this time. Is that sword no longer in your hands? If it were also here, the next battle might be easier. After all, that sword has a special damage effect on evil."
The girl with glasses thought that Shade wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the weapon:
"That sword was found two years after I graduated, when my teacher accepted a mission from the Council to seal a remote mountain range in the Central Continent."
"Moonfire!"
The silver flame that suddenly spurted out of Shad's mouth immediately ignited Miss Violet's head. Then, with a scream, he opened his arms and hugged the girl who looked to be sixteen years old in his arms, and then let the silver flame burning all over his body ignite her entire body.
The dark chains of sin tried to entangle the two of them, but it was too late. Amid the blonde girl's screams, she opened her mouth and spit out a black light. In that light, a woman's voice that Shade had never heard of smiled and said:
"It's a shame I didn't get to occupy this beautiful body, but it's okay, I'll see you later."
The black light was ignited by Sister Belen's flame and burned to ashes. It was not until then that Theresa and Miss Liad reacted.
The hounds barked and surrounded the living people anxiously. When the silver flame went out, Shad held the weak witch who opened her eyes in his arms. Before she could speak, he pressed her lips with his right index finger, and then pierced his left index finger into her forehead.
This was no joke. Shade really used his fingers to penetrate her skin and touch her skull. After close contact and confirming that Miss Violet was the only one left in the puppet's body, he withdrew his fingers and filled the small hole in her forehead with "active mud".
The offensiveness and healing properties of "Moon Fire" can be chosen by Shade himself. The holy silver flame just now has forced back the consciousness attached to the puppet's body, and now the only one left is the Witch Emperor.
She hugged Xia De and smiled weakly:
"That consciousness appeared when we encountered those Skeleton Knights and you separated from us, and we were fighting against the ghouls. I knew you would notice it because of the Soul Forging Skeleton?"
"Yes, because of the Soul Forging Skull."
He continued to use Moonfire to heal her mental trauma, and of course he did not forget to explain to his nervous companions why he had just done so:
"I have seen the Soul-Forged Skeleton twice. Once was in a library in the middle of the Fifth Era."
At that time, he was with Blyni, and then they obtained a book from the first era called "Yeger Scroll" from the skeleton. The book is said to record the secrets of the ancient god of death, but unfortunately no one has been able to see its contents. (Chapter 721)
"The second time I saw the Soul Forging Skull was in my own time, in a mountain. In the real world, at the entrance to a hidden cave on the mountainside, the Night Watchman sealed the Ancient Fire Demon (Chapter 665). And in the world on the edge of life and death, at the deepest part of the hidden cave on the mountainside is the rift leading to the 'end' sealed by the Witch Emperor. The Soul Forging Skull is there (Chapter 748)."
The sixteen-year-old girl looked at Xia De with a gentle smile, and she knew that Xia De remembered everything.
"The skeleton in the future was left behind by Miss Violet. I saw the echo she left behind at that time, and in that echo she called herself a 680th-level witch instead of a demigod (Chapter )."
Then Theresa also understood:
"That is to say, before the teacher was promoted to demigod, she should have known about the Soul Forging Skull. After all, it was left by her."
Shade nodded. Theresa had clearly said that Miss Violet was now a demigod:
“In order to prevent the reverberation of that time from being due to Miss Violet’s modesty in not claiming to be a demigod, I just asked about Theresa’s [Night Watcher] whereabouts to confirm whether Miss Violet had experienced what happened on that mountain.
Since Theresa said that the Night Watcher had been left in the mountains, it meant that the seals of the Fire Demon and the Edge of Life and Death in the normal world had been completed, and the Soul Forging Skull had also been placed. Therefore, it was impossible for Miss Violet not to know about this thing. "
The logic of this analysis is very smooth, but Miss Liad is still a little scared:
"I was really scared when I saw you attack directly just now. You were so decisive."
Shade shook his head gently:
“I was afraid that I was overthinking, so I used the moon fire. This is a very gentle power. The moon fire is mostly used for healing and recovery. Even if it is wrong, it will not hurt Miss Violet.”
