Chapter 2774: Sage-level Relics and the Lasting Resentment

Chapter 2774 Sage-level Relic - Lingering Hatred

The basic undead magic of "Dispelling Grudges" had a very strong effect in the hands of the Cat Witch. As the spirits and elements spread from Shade's chest, a series of bang bang bang sounds were immediately heard around.

The burning smell in the air became stronger and stronger, and the shape of the exploding monster seemed to be made of ashes.

But soon after Flora's magic ended, the rustling sound appeared again. The enemy stretched out his hands from the ashes on the ground and climbed out. Even though the witch summoned a strong wind to blow away the ashes around, the ashes soon covered the ground again as if they were secreted from the village.

Not only that, Flora's blowing away of the ashes seemed to activate some kind of power in this dark village. In the darkness that could not be seen by the eyes, they clearly sensed a giant hand extending from the ashes, and then with a slight vibration on the ground, a giant made of ashes and resentment crawled out of the ground.

In the silent and dark uninhabited village deep in the forest, the appearance of such a tall monster made the scene even more bizarre and strange. The height of this thing was over ten meters, but the sound it made when it appeared and moved was extremely slight.

The thing quickly came in front of Shade and punched the ground. Shade, whose body expanded and looked like it was rising from the ground, raised his fist and pushed it back.

"curse?"

As the two sides came into contact, Xia De felt the curse spreading to his body, and the power of the First Fire was unable to dispel it in the first place.

But there was no time to pay attention to the curse. Under the effect of the magic - Body of Courage, Shad, whose body grew to the same size as the ash giant, punched through its body. But ash did not have the fatal weakness of humans. At the same time that Shad's fist punched through it, the ash giant also punched Shad in the heart.

Even the extremely petite cat could feel the extremely malicious curse immediately wrapped around Shade's entire body. At the same time, she observed the place where Shade's skin came into contact with the ashes, and the traces of the ashes stayed on the surface of his skin like stains.

The witch was about to tell Shade this, but immediately thought of another question:

"Since vision doesn't work in this darkness, how come I can see the marks on your skin?"

"Because I can glow - Shadow Ball!"

A black sphere appeared from his hand. When the darkness with the petrifying power due to the "twisted origin of the earth" touched the ash giant, it immediately stopped its action of opening its arms to hug Shade.

This monster's petrification resistance was pitifully low. In just a few seconds, the ten-meter-tall giant was completely solidified into a stone statue. Then, with Shade's powerful kick, the giant stone statue fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

But of course it wasn't over yet, densely packed human-sized ash monsters had surrounded the giant Shade. After the ash giant fell to the ground, they all rushed towards his body. In the distance of the village, huge arms were constantly sticking out from the ground, and dozens of ash giants appeared together.

By canceling the spell and restoring his body to normal, Shade dodged the monsters in the dark, causing them to collide with each other one after another above his head. Ashes fell down in a shower, and then Shade pointed at the sky, and a silver ball of light emerged. All the monsters around him disappeared instantly as if they were wiped out by the light, but the appearance of the light also caused a raging fire and loud crackling sounds to appear around him three seconds later.

It seems that what the two people concluded just now was correct. In the dark state, vision fails and ash monsters appear endlessly, while the appearance of light will attract a fire that seems to be able to burn the world.

The burning flames completely illuminated the darkness, and Shade looked down at his arm. The curse formed by the resentment left by being burned to death clung to his skin and tried to burn him, but of course it did not succeed. As he took a deep breath, fiery red cracks appeared on the surface of his skin and clothes, and the curses slowly disappeared, but the speed was really slow:

"How come this curse seems to be able to resist the power of the First Flame?"

As he breathed, the surrounding flames and high temperatures were absorbed by his body and transformed into spirits. This was also the blessing of the First Fire. But of course he didn't want to use the "First Fire Embers" form to fight the surrounding fires. He just had a high resistance to fire, but he was not completely immune to it. As the power of the fire increased, he would sooner or later be unable to bear it.

Fortunately, after the transition from light to darkness just now, Flora finally realized what they had encountered:

"This is an event-type relic, Sage-level - [Linging Grudge]. This type of event-type relic targets a dying person, and only targets individuals with grudges.

After the incident occurs, two different environments, 'Scene Hazard' and 'Evil Spirit of Resentment', will be generated within a certain range around the person, depending on the cause of death and the person's own resentment. The two environments will switch depending on the conditions related to the cause of death."

"We'll talk about this later, the flames are coming again!"

Xia De took out a piece of star-silver jade from his pocket and shook it gently. The jade glowed and extended from his palm to both sides until it turned into a sage-level relic [Star Mark] longbow:

"Witch's Secret Technique - Arrow of Night!"

The inky arrow condensed in his hand and was shot high into the sky, then it fell and pierced into the burning ground under Shade's feet. Then the night spread out from under his feet like ink, and even though the flames were still there, all the light disappeared.

In the quiet night, even the sound of burning became faint. This was the secret technique that Miss Felena left to Shade before she left. It was also the secret technique that the demigod witch used to defeat the evil creature transformed by the "Light Chaser" with one blow at the end of the Battle of Moon Bay.

However, Shade didn't use it to attack something, but to create a dark environment.

The spreading darkness eventually turned the entire environment within a hundred meters into night. As a result, the dark fire within this range gradually died down, while the fire outside this range was still burning, trying to illuminate the dark territory.

The vision does not fail in the dark environment created by the "Arrow of Night", so this time Shade saw clearly how those skinny ash figures crawled out from the ashes on the ground.

Perhaps due to the influence of the darkness, their speed was extremely slow, as if their hands and feet were being tugged by the silk threads transformed from the night.

"How do we deal with this relic? Do we find the dying person who is the core of the resentment? How do we find him?"

Xia De asked as he drew his bow and shot arrows. The inky arrows were shot out one after another, killing the ash monsters while also protecting the dark environment from being eroded by the surrounding fire.

In this night created by him, not only the spawning rate of ash monsters was significantly reduced, but the ash giants did not even appear. But outside the night, the blazing fire had engulfed the entire world, and in the depths of the flames, several tall figures that were very similar to the "flame demons" that Shade had seen were slowly approaching.

If this is really the sage-level relic that Flora mentioned, then this should be the top-level sage-level relic. The world of darkness and fire is undergoing a dramatic evolution, and the monsters and scene hazards that emerge are definitely not something that ordinary ring sorcerers can deal with.

The witch gave the answer:

“Killing the core of resentment is indeed a method, but we probably can’t do it now.

Although I don't know what this relic is attached to this time, it has evolved into this state, which is definitely not something that ordinary human hatred can do. Although you are very powerful, it is difficult to succeed against something that is possessed by a sage-level relic without prior preparation.

Let's use other methods to temporarily leave. We can't destroy the dying man, but we can use the escape method he failed to achieve to leave this place filled with resentment. However, this will directly attract the attention of the other party, so be careful. You need to block it for a while, and I will sense the direction of escape. "

Judging from the surrounding environment, the dying person must have been burned to death. Therefore, there was no need to make any inferences. As the two cast spells together, a large area of ​​water appeared out of thin air above the night sky, but it evaporated before falling.

"It's not that easy after all. Do you have a way to make special liquid? It seems like ordinary water can't exist here."

The cat on his chest asked again, and Shade raised his hand and shot an arrow, scattering the fireballs thrown by the tall flame figures in the distance in the air:

"No water, how about a snowball? Spell - summon a giant snowball."

This magic was acquired by Shade when he met the God of Winter [Winter Maiden] in the Silver Mountains. Although it was just a spell, and the effect of the spell was only to slow down the target, the huge snowball that fell from the sky was not easily melted by the flames, but accurately hit Shade below.

Then the vision suddenly became completely dark in an instant, and all the sounds around disappeared.

But soon as Shad broke free from the snowball, he found that he had not returned to the deserted village in late autumn.

Under the cover of night, a raging fire was spreading through Gregory Village. There were screams of panic and pain everywhere, but the villagers living there could not escape from the village because the fire blocked all exits from the village.

And in the center of the village that had almost been razed to the ground, a five-meter-tall fiery red monster was crawling and watching all this.

"Very good, we succeeded! The dark world and the sea of ​​fire world just now were just worlds of deep resentment constructed by relics. This is the village closest to the real thing! Hang on, I'll sense the direction of escape!"

Even though the cat on his chest said it lightly, Shade felt that he might have really met his match this time.
