Chapter 3390 The Last 5182 Years
The power that Sister Devlin shared was a one-time power, and in comparison, the "noble destiny" that long-haired Luvia shared in her dream seemed too strong.
"This can help you fight against powerful undead. If you really encounter the Tomb King, he may be able to help you."
The nun took back her hand and continued to speak. She looked a little weak. Shade nodded:
"Then I'll be off now. See you later, Sister."
Sister Defulin stood up:
"I will go with you to your home and wait for news."
Xia De then wondered if the breakfast at home was enough:
"I can take you straight back from here, but do you need to say hello to the other sisters in the sacrificial field?"
The nun shook her head slightly, so Shade grabbed her hand. After the crystal slipper was thrown out, the two disappeared from the spot, leaving only the flames in the bonfire continuing to lick the greatsword that was tilted into the fire.
Of course, Carina and Luvia welcomed Sister Defulin's arrival. However, when Shade washed his hands and prepared to eat, the Duchess quietly complained:
"Why didn't you say hello in advance? Then the nun would know that we stayed here overnight."
"Didn't the nun know about this a long time ago?"
"I believe Sister Defulin will keep the secret, but it would be too embarrassing to expose such privacy in front of the nun."
They had breakfast together, and then Shad took Mia, who still wanted to go on an adventure with him, and made sure that he had the three elements to return to the world of the living - the heart of the living dead, the black rune stone given by the priest, and Luvia's skirt. Then he took out the key and prepared to leave.
"Take this with you too. Safety first."
Carina also gave Shade the handkerchief she carried with her, and then they watched Shade take out the key and insert it into the keyhole of bedroom No. 2. Sister Defulin also came to see them off but she said nothing, just holding her right wrist with her left hand to cover the jewelry on her wrist.
Luvia was quite worried and told Shade to be careful and told Mia to remember to take good care of Shade. After Shade laughed, she waved her hand:
"We'll wait for you here."
"Don't worry, it's only three seconds. May the World Tree protect me in the infinite time."

The key turned and the door opened, and Shade walked into the white mist door carrying a suitcase.
[Stranger, you have officially entered the "Corridor of Time". ]
The curved archway composed of slender tree trunks, vines, branches and green leaves stood in the endless white mist. Shade stuffed the cat toy into the pocket where Jialina's handkerchief was placed, and recalled before walking into the archway:
“This time, the mission is to obtain the secrets of the Old Gods. Now I know: the Old Gods’ throne sealed the Gate of the Dead, intercepted the souls that should have left, and forged their own kingdom; the Old Gods inherited a golden artifact from the ancient God of Death, and thus took control of this kingdom.
The priest clearly told me that the golden artifact was a golden bracelet. If I could break it, I could temporarily drive the god out of the country. Why do I feel that all the information I have received so far indicates that I have to fight that god?"
"She" smiled gently, and Xia De took a few deep breaths and walked into the archway.
[Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree": ]
[Autumn of the Fifth Era 5182, Central Continent, Tombstone Wasteland.]
【Event: Grave digging.】
【Duration: 3 minutes → 3 minutes (/).】
[You have obtained additional information. 】
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree is watching you. 】
[The ancient god of time gives you a test. 】
[Assist mortals to learn the secrets of the old god - "King of Skeletons". ]
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you a reward: Miracle Spirit Rune - Jealousy. ]
The vision turned dark the moment he crossed the arch. The change in gravity direction and the appearance of a foul smell meant that Shad once again appeared in a tomb.
However, he was in no hurry to break out of the ground. His left hand was still holding the suitcase containing the "Heart of the Living Dead", while his right hand was groping around. He easily touched the burial object in the tomb - a metal bracelet.
The feeling of having the flow of the spirit suppressed was quite terrible, but the paralysis of the soul did not have much effect on Shade.
After climbing out of the tomb quickly, he held onto the tombstone and took a few breaths. When he looked around, the scattered candlelight and the light of the old-fashioned oil lamps illuminated the densely packed tombs. The gravekeeper's hut could not be seen in the thin fog, but the good news was that there were no other strange buildings to be seen.
The bracelet in his hand was indeed pure gold. He walked around to the front of the tombstone and read the words on it. The first time it was a moon, the second time it was the moon and the sun, and the third time it was nothing. Xia De didn't know what it meant.
With a sigh, Shade stayed where he was and waited for the girls to come. The scene of saying goodbye to Luvia and the others at home a few minutes ago seemed like it happened hundreds of years ago. He felt lonely, but fortunately, Mia was still by his side.
After gently patting the pocket of his shirt, the cat, which had recovered, poked its head out of the pocket. After finding the familiar surroundings of tombstones, it meowed, and was then held on Xia De's shoulders.
The cat suddenly sniffed vigorously at this moment. Xia De thought it was dissatisfied with the stench of corpses around it, but he didn't expect that after sniffing, it turned its head and looked to Xia De's left.
"What's wrong?"
Gently patting Mia's head, Xia De looked in that direction out of absolute trust in the cat's sense of smell.
About five seconds later, Shade saw some blue light coming towards him. He thought it was a will-o'-the-wisp at first, but when the blue light gradually became clear in the fog, he saw that it was a group of butterflies with blue flames burning on their wings.
Those butterflies looked very beautiful, the most beautiful group of butterflies Xia De had ever seen, except for the "Red Butterfly". And among the butterflies, a familiar figure strode towards Xia De from the darkness shrouded by mist.
He was about 1.77 meters tall, wearing a deerstalker hat, holding a cane, and of medium to strong build. Xia De had never expected this man to appear here:
"Detective Sparrow Hamilton?"
After calling out the name subconsciously in surprise, the middle-aged detective smiled and walked towards Xia De faster, as if he was looking forward to meeting Xia De.
Then a beam of silver moonlight flew out, splitting Sparrow Hamilton in half horizontally from the waist, but the body disappeared before it hit the ground:
"It's really an illusion. I was wondering why Detective Sparrow would smile and walk towards me if he hated me so much for bothering him."
The butterflies with blue flames burning on their wings were not affected and continued to fly towards Shad and Mia, completely surrounding Shad before he left the area.
So not only Detective Sparrow, but also more "dead people" who left a deep impression on Shad in this world emerged from the darkness one after another.
There were Count Darak of Kendra who was involved in the Midhill Castle incident, Lady Hela Oxenfurt of the Randall Valley, many of the Edwards family's relatives of Megan and Audrey of Green Lake, the female knight Miss Knight of the Gravel Sand Sea, and the mother and daughter of the little black cat of Moon Bay. In the end, even enemies like Ivan Darkness appeared.
Familiar figures walked towards him, but were all scattered by the moonlight wielded by Shade. The group of butterflies burning with blue flames became denser and denser around him. A single blue flame butterfly had a very weak whispering element, but when the group of butterflies were combined, they were undoubtedly a relic that could create an "illusion".
"A relic of the butterfly family."
They had talked about this topic many times when they were with Helen and Grace, and a memory of Grace sitting in Shad's arms with a red face came back.
"This is the 'Dead Soul Butterfly', a clerical-level relic that only appears in cemeteries or other environments with a large number of dead bodies, such as battlefields. It can be considered a biological community, but it can also be considered a strange phenomenon.
When the butterfly is in the blue flame state, it will allow the person who encounters it to see the dead related to themselves. If they cannot break free from the illusion in time, or even take the initiative to touch those "dead people", their soul will leave their body and turn into part of the butterfly's blue flame;
When the butterflies are in the green fire state, they will trigger the resurrection of the nearby undead. The undead army will follow the butterflies and actively protect them.
When the butterfly is in black fire form, a widespread instant death curse appears, which can be called a moving natural disaster. "
As Shad recalled this information, he even remembered Helen pouting and saying something like "Sir, are you interested in other butterflies?"
The good news is that the flame color of the relic [Dead Soul Butterfly] will not change easily after it appears, and the blue flame state is the safest state; the bad news is that the way to crack this relic is to run out of the area where there are a large number of corpses, and it is obvious that Shade has no way to leave the [Tombstone Wasteland]. If he just runs in the wasteland, these butterflies will soon catch up.
"If Grace and Helen were here, they would scare away the butterflies in no time."
Shade thought to himself, and then realized that he could also turn into a butterfly. After hesitating for a moment, before a new illusion appeared, he put the suitcase on the tombstone, put the cat on the suitcase, and then turned into a group of red butterflies.
Two red butterflies landed on the cat's head to protect it. The clever cat seemed to recognize that it was Shade, so it did not attack them. The remaining red butterflies quickly blended in with the increasingly dense blue fire butterflies around them.
The red and blue butterflies approached each other from two directions, then mixed together and flew wildly. Some blue butterflies even wanted to approach the cat that was squatting on the box obediently following Shade's orders, but after being looked at by the cat, they flew away in another direction.
Although Shade did not have the power of Grace and Helen, after transforming into a red butterfly, the illusion of the dead did not continue to appear around him. The butterflies burning with blue flames seemed to be "dancing" with the red butterflies, but after two or three minutes, the blue butterflies automatically flew away from the area.
PS: The picture in this chapter is "Red and Blue Butterflies".
Although the details of this picture are not quite the same as described in the article, the composition is still very good.
