Whispering Poems

Chapter 1963 "Edwards"

And although Priest Augustus opened a crack to absorb souls, facing such a huge tide of evil spirits, he could barely let him and the doctor stand on the edge of the island.

"Doctor, you stay here to help Xia De, I will lead these souls away."

The old man looked determined and made his decision without hesitation.Dr. Schneider gritted his teeth against the attacks from the surrounding blood-red branches:

"Can you?"

"Don't underestimate me, you should also pay attention to safety."

As he spoke, he assembled the two one-sixth skulls together, and then lifted them up to the top of his head.The scorched black wings on the back just disappeared under the moonlight, but then, everyone in the canopy heard the clear bell.

That was definitely not a bell indicating time. The sound directly vibrated the soul, making it feel chilled to the bone.It felt like jumping into an icy pool again in the coldest winter. The living people with bodies to protect their souls froze for a second because of the sound of the bell. Those souls controlled by the [Soul Storybook] were even more... It was fixed directly in place.

The old priest held the skull in his arms and jumped directly from the edge of the ruins of the banquet hall to the tree as the bell rang.As a result, the frozen souls escaped from the control of the relic as if they were attracted by him, and turned into tides following the priest to the ground under the tree.Even the [Soul Storybook] itself was carried by the thousands of souls and flew under the tree with the strong attraction.

The evil spirits moved away, and everyone on the wreckage dismantled their shields and counterattacked in embarrassment.Of course, Shade saw the doctor and priest who had just appeared. Although he was also worried about how the priest could deal with so many souls, he still threw Solon Green and Helena Green, who were holding their hearts and could hardly move, towards the doctor:

"Take them away!"

Although the doctor wanted to stay and help, but since Xia De made a request, he would not refuse.It was just that the Green brothers and sisters had just touched the blood-red mask that had become blurred, and they immediately returned to the wreck from the mask on the other side of the wreckage. They couldn't leave here at all.

The doctor was surprised, and punched the red light with the arm attached to the demonic flame. The black flame that could burn most substances could not melt the red light in front of him.

The blood-colored fruit at the top of the canopy is still getting bigger, the blood light on the island and the red light flowing in the trees are getting thinner and thinner, and it is not far from the fruit being fully ripe.

Laplace Klein Howard, with an echoing voice, came from above:
"Godcaller, let's make a simple deal. I promise to let the twins go tonight, and you promise not to call on the power of the gods tonight."

"Do you think I'm stupid? And, without them, can your Edwardsden magic really be complete?"

Even though he had no intention of burning divinity, Shade responded immediately.

"But, do you really need to be complete?"

His one sentence shows that he also knows that the ultimate unity of many does not require the absorption of all descendants:

"I'm here to raise the stakes - I promise that Edwardsden's magic will not absorb Soren Green, Helena Green, Megan Edwards, Audrey Edwards tonight; you promise that you will not call tonight The power of the gods. We don't need to sign any contract, we can only guarantee it with ourselves, will you agree?"

"summer"

Megan almost called out Xia De's name, she widened her eyes to prevent Xia De from agreeing, but Xia De has already nodded decisively:
"no problem."

In the Battle of the Chosen, any promises and duels have very important symbolic meanings.Xia De knew that a fortuneteller would not lie, and the fortuneteller also knew that Xia De would not easily break his oath.Luvia foretold that Edwards can lack up to four descendants in the magic arts, and now it seems that Laplace Howard also knows this.

Two simple sentences between the two parties have reached an agreement.Xia De didn't even give Megan a chance to object, and said directly to the Green brothers and sisters:

"You leave first."

So the siblings, who supported each other, nodded to Shad. Ms. Helena Green took her brother's hand and quickly passed through the red mask on the edge of the wreckage of the banquet hall, and joined the doctor standing on the branch of the canopy.The doctor didn't say anything more. He took their hands and jumped down.

"Giles, Giles, you go too!"

The little girl was anxiously urging the man who was hugging her, but the man who was covered in injuries and who had obviously experienced a brutal battle refused to leave no matter what.

Megan stared at Xia De with wide eyes, but saw Xia De also gave her the sign to leave.The witch shook her head quickly, still unable to believe in her eyes, Xia De actually agreed to this request for her sake.She knew that although Xia De's usual strength was strong, it was far from the level of her ancestors at this time.

She couldn't imagine how tonight would end if Shade didn't use the power to call upon the gods.She didn't even understand whether it was really necessary for Shade to do this for her.

But Shad didn't have time to explain to her.

The voices of chanting and praying from all over the island became louder and louder, and the shaking of the blood-red giant tree became larger and larger.The sound of the heartbeat in the fruit made the Edwards cover their chests again, and the growing fruit finally showed signs that the pulp was about to explode the transparent peel.

The power of Edwards Den's magical arts has almost reached its peak at this moment. The surging blood mist and the pulsating feeling of a powerful heart even make people wonder whether Laplace Howard, who is about to be "born", is sleeping in the The ancient behemoth of these years.

But it didn't happen in an instant that the bloody fruit exploded, and the Seer flew out of it.Blood drops, countless blood drops ooze from the swollen fruit peel, and large drops of blood fall to the wreckage of the banquet hall that is almost integrated with the crown of the tree.

The Edwards could feel that they would "dissolve" once they came into contact with the blood. While dodging one after another, they did not forget to drag the defeated family members to dodge.

But these blood droplets were not intended to attack them. The blood fell on the ground, and then turned into Laplace Klein Howard in scarlet robes.

The sirens and bells sounded, and thirteen life rings appeared behind them.But in just a few seconds, 21 thirteen-ring warlocks appeared on the wreckage with expressionless faces.

But almost at the same time, a thick layer of earthy yellow aura suddenly appeared above the island.The power of the earth surged, and the heavy tree trunks appeared directly above the wreckage of the banquet hall. The mud, dust and stones were intertwined with each other. The incarnations of 21 earth guardians appeared in front of the diviners wearing blood-colored robes. The next second, he was entangled with them.

42 people flew away from the small wreckage and started a fierce battle around the giant tree.And those khaki-yellow auras finally formed the body of the chosen one in the shape of Mr. Lassus by Xia De's side.

He nodded slightly to Xia De, and then his body dissipated again, turning into a streamer and flying towards the huge swollen fruit that was still dripping blood.

The fruit finally exploded at this moment, and as the peel fell to the ground, it seemed that the endless bloody "flesh" gathered into the appearance of Laplace Howard.

Whatever he was now, he could no longer be called human.

The two of them didn't talk nonsense, the blood-colored and khaki-yellow stream of light entangled and fell to the ground, neither of them thought about fighting in the air.But Xia De frowned slightly, and Iluna said what Xia De wanted to say in advance:

"It's not the guardian itself, something happened to the earth? So he came so late?"

"It's not important. What's important is that he helped entangle Laplace Klein Howard. I just don't understand that 90.00% of Nine's power is entangled with the chosen ones of the earth. Have you given up on your plan? "

The last half of the sentence was a question to the "peel" that fell on the wreckage of the banquet hall. The remains of the fruit squirmed together, and the red flesh and blood piled up again to look like a fortune teller.

Weak, even weaker than Xia De's current normal state.But the fortune teller who came out of the red mist somehow made Xia De feel that this is the real living person.Although weak, he is extraordinarily real; although he has no power, he is more like something that was really born in this tree.

"Abandon my past self."

The fortune teller said softly, looking around at the complicated expressions of his descendants:
"The power took away the part that represented Laplace Klein Howard. Only by abandoning them can I truly become Edwards, the embodiment of this island."

He said as if singing a poem:

"My people are the soil of the earth,

My descendants are the roots of the trees.

Roots that penetrate deeply into the soil,

Please feed me the nourishment of flesh and blood.

The balanced chosen prunes my branches,
The chosen ones of the earth cleanse the remainder of the pulp for me.

The angel of death leads the soul to death,

And I offered the souls of my offspring to that demon.

Insert thirteen keys,
The long-cherished wish of 200 years has come to this moment.

One is whole,
All are one.

Descendants, raise a glass with me,
Future generations, please be a part of me. "

Obviously seemingly powerless, but when he suddenly stretched out his hand to Megan, the witch still felt a deadly threat for an instant.Xia De, who was holding hands with Iluna, appeared beside her almost immediately with Iluna twinkling.The three of them made defensive and counterattack actions at the same time, and were sent flying together by the huge force.

"Edwards" didn't want to fight the three of them at all. After the sudden blow made them stay away, the sharp blood thorn protruding from his back pierced through the bodies of all the people left on the wreckage in an instant.

It was really just a moment, and no one could resist.

Huge forces have already blasted Shad, Iluna, and Megan out of the wreckage of the banquet hall on the canopy. Even though this scene had been expected, when "Edwards" who seemed to be the incarnation of the island itself really made a move, no matter what Whether it is Xia De or Iluna, it is impossible to stop it.
