Chapter 2678: First Battle with the Dead Apostles
The boy ignored Shade's accusation and retreated directly back into the shadows:
"The ball in the past was not hidden, and someone will find you with it. Go and grab it. This is more interesting than hide-and-seek. I'll wait for you to get the ball."
After it finished speaking, it disappeared into the forest, and the witch transformed into an owl and quickly flew to Shade's shoulder:
"Transform me into a toy and I'll help you."
"No, I will take care of this myself. I have help in 1821."
Shade held the owl and put it on the ground. The witch who had transformed back was a little unhappy, but she didn't insist:
"I'm glad you have help. But don't leave yet. We found this when we searched Collins Manor. The Collins family hung it on the wall as an antique."
Miss Bell came forward and showed Shade the arrow she was holding. Shade recognized it at a glance as the "elf antique arrow" made of the world tree that the forest elf lady needed. He was not surprised that this arrow suddenly appeared again:
"You take this arrow first. Miss Bell, when you were investigating York Bronte, the information said that his uncle Ben Bronte died in 1829. Do you know the cause of his death? And how did Theodore Bronte, the father of Ben Bronte and the current Baron Bronte, die?"
He suddenly asked again, and the black-haired girl was indeed professional. Even though she didn't know why Xia De was asking these people, she still answered:
"In the summer of 1829, Ben Brontë suddenly caught a cold and died. As for Theodore Brontë, he also died of illness in 1800."
Xia De was quite satisfied with this answer:
"You guys wait here for me to come back. Don't worry, Iluna, you can see me anyway."
Iluna had the most confidence in Shade, and took out two Sunshine Gun brooches and placed them in his hands:
"We'll wait for you here."
Shade smiled and prepared the spell materials, then turned and disappeared into the woods. When he saw the lady in the black dress again, he discovered that she had covered her face with illusion and was looking seriously towards the direction of the orchard near the manor.
The young man holding the black ball fell from the sky. Ben Bronte's body swelled into a two-and-a-half-meter-tall giant. The tremendous vitality stimulated by the operation of the spirit did not make him younger. Instead, it gave birth to two extra hands on his body. After his coat was torn, a blood-red eye was revealed in the crack on his chest.
In 1821, in the town of Riverwood, Shade had already guessed that the most difficult enemy at this time was this dead apostle. Although Shade had not expected to fight this thing in this era, since he had already encountered
"Ma'am, please don't interfere in this battle for now. I want to test how powerful he is."
The ball was thrown to the ground by the three-ring dead apostle who seemed to have lost his mind. The disordered spirit and elements on his body were obviously symptoms of the ring warlock losing control, so there was no reason for this battle. This person was simply called in to fight against Shade.
But at least he still had the wisdom to fight. After identifying his opponent, the young man reached behind his neck and pulled out his spine with a frowning sound. His vitality allowed him to quickly regenerate a new spine, and as he swung the spine in his hand with force, the bone hyperplasia quickly turned into a strangely shaped heavy bone sword wrapped in blood.
Xia De also stretched out his hand to the air beside him. The moonlight in the night sky seemed to gather all the light into his hand at this moment. The bright moonlight condensed into a translucent sword body, and then the gorgeous rune chain spread in the sword body, until it extended to the hilt as the greatsword appeared completely, and intertwined into anti-slip patterns on the hilt.
The thirteen-ring sorceress who was watching this scene raised her eyebrows.
"Thumbs-[Glory Moon Consciousness Realm]!"
As soon as he used the magic to enhance his perception under the moonlight, all the sounds, colors, and even the fluctuations of spirits and elements in the 360-degree range of the apple orchard centered on Shade appeared clearly in his perception.
The moonlight was just right tonight, so the greatsword slowly pointed forward and lightly swept across the ground to cut out a silver blade of light. However, the blade of light was shattered by the bone blade in Bronte's out-of-control hand, which also meant that the battle had officially begun.
Holding the sword in his right hand, Shade thrust forward and arrived in front of the monster whose body was still expanding. The two-handed swords collided, and the dead apostle fell backwards amid the flying light.
But it grew another hand on its back to support the ground, and then the four hands in front of it all pressed down on the bone blade and pushed Shade back. Shade did not intend to fight it head-on, so he retreated and disappeared on the spot, then held the sword with both hands and sent the big sword into the monster's neck from the air.
The Moonlight Great Sword was stuck in his neck, but this fatal injury had no effect on the monster, which roared and grabbed its neck with both hands. Shade turned into a group of red butterflies to avoid it, and when he reappeared on the ground, he saw the monster drooping its head and almost falling off, holding up the increasingly huge bone blade and slashing at him with force.
With a clang, the blood-red blow collided head-on with the [Seal of Hitton], but then the monster that rushed over like a cannonball smashed the golden shield head-on.
As Shade fell backwards due to the impact, two dark chains shot out from his sleeves and wrapped around the dead apostle's arms. He stopped flying backwards with the pulling force, and as the monster froze, he thrust forward with the sword in his hand.
The gorgeous silver sword then embedded itself deeply into the monster's chest flesh, but this was not the end. Shade raised his empty left hand beside his head, and a buzzing~ rotating light wheel was thrown out at close range:
"Moonlight Wheel!"
The halo followed the wound left by the greatsword and cut the monster into two pieces very smoothly, but the body of the dead apostle that fell to the left and right was pulled by its own hands.
Then one of the hands pierced the flesh with the bone sword in his hand, connecting the left and right sides of the body together. Then fine granulations of flesh grew on the torn part, mending the two sides of the body again.
Because of the existence of the [Chain of Sin], its movements were extremely stiff, but this did not prevent it from turning the eye split in the middle of its body into a huge mouth after another round of moonlight flew over and its two hands and head were cut off.
The mouth sucked towards Xia De violently, and Xia De felt that something in his body was flowing away because of the suction. Not only his vitality, but even the flow of his spirit was blocked.
But before he could hit that mouth with the fireball, the [Gluttony] spirit rune on the slowly rotating life ring deep in his soul suddenly burst into light.
The life force that was about to be sucked away immediately stabilized. At the same time, an indescribable huge feeling of hunger suddenly emerged. This hunger even made Xia De have the urge to kill the offender in front of him and devour it completely:
"No, I don't want to eat this dirty stuff!"
The chains of sin continued to entangle the monster that was healing itself. Shade stretched his hand upwards, and dozens of fireballs appeared out of thin air, and then flew towards the monster one by one, dragging their flaming tails.
The fire and rumbling sound produced by the explosion were masked by the lady in the black dress, but the monster roaring in the firelight rushed out again, its body melted by the flames seemed to have turned into a semi-liquid state, and the flowing flesh and blood immediately turned into spikes that penetrated into the ground, and then suddenly rushed out from under Shad's feet and stabbed towards his unspeakable place.
"This thing really can't be killed at all."
But Xia De, who already knew the opponent's strength, was not in a hurry at all. The exploding golden shield repelled the monster's new round of attacks. Then he took a deep breath, and as the burning and melting behemoth appeared in front of him, blood-colored poisonous blood mist sprayed out in front of him:
"Corrupted Blood Mist!"
At this moment, not only did the scarlet poisonous mist spewing from his mouth cover the entire body of the monster with half-melted skin, but even when Shade stepped on the ground, the red mist column rising from under the monster's feet also wrapped it up.
Among all of Shade's offensive magic, "Corrupted Blood Mist" is the most effective magic against flesh and blood creatures. But when facing this immortal monster, the dead apostle was still able to rush out of the blood mist.
However, the skin that was originally in a semi-melted state had completely disappeared, and the outline of the abnormally swollen skeleton had already been revealed in the poisonous mist. The severe pain and physical injuries made the Dead Apostle, who had already lost control due to the influence of the whispering element, completely crazy.
The almost inhuman monster let its shadow cover Shade like a wild beast, but when it really opened its mouth and pounced down, it just crashed into the ground.
Boom~ With a dull sound, a big snowball fell from the sky and hit it, and then two crossed moonlight wheels cut it into four pieces.
But even so, this thing still didn't die. It struggled to crawl on the ground, and was hit by a fireball, and then the silver-white lightning spear also fell into the pile of flesh and blood.
Silver electric light flickered on the skeleton, finally making it unable to move. Just as Shad was preparing to give it the final blow with the gorgeous moonlight sword in his hand, a black heart hidden under the charred flesh soared into the air and quickly disappeared into the woods under the night sky.
Xia De stood where he was and did not chase after it. After making sure that the other party had left, he threw a fireball to burn its entire body.
The dark-haired lady came up to him from the shadows of the woods, and Shade explained:
"That's all. Ben Bronte died in the summer of 1829, not now. He will have a new identity after that. But now that I think about it, his next identity did not choose to grow up in Riverwood Town but ran to Willendel. It may be related to his fear of what happened tonight."
