Whispering Poems

Chapter 2630 Ash Knight
Sister Devlin did not remind Shad to be prepared, and the raging flames engulfed both of them in the next second.

But the flame did not bring any burning sensation to Shad. What he felt was the warm stream of fire directly entering his soul. Then the huge flame established a connection between Sister Defulin's soul and his soul.

This was not only a gift from the nun to Xia Deling in the form of fire, but also a connection between the two of them through the "First Fire", which greatly reduced the consumption of the subsequent maze.

"The consumption of Clock Tower Lovers can actually be reduced in this way."

The fierce flames made the pinned insect emit a more deafening buzzing sound, and also made Miss Danister and Miss Bell retreat again and again. They could no longer see the two people in the flames at this time, but only felt the sudden burst of elements and spirits sweeping around, which directly affected the spatial structure around the woods.

The young witch apprentice didn't know what it was, but the librarian knew:
"This is his puzzle lock!"

The scenery of the autumn woods did not change because of this, but amid the rumbling sound of the ground, the harsh sound of huge rocks rubbing against each other surprised the two young girls to see behind them a dilapidated and crooked bell tower rising rapidly as the ground shook.

At this moment, all the pointers on the clock tower dial pointed to twelve, and soon they were attracted by the strong wind in front of them and looked in front of them again.

The eight-ring life ring belonging to Shade and the twelve-ring life ring belonging to Sister Defulin were fully revealed. The rapidly rotating eight-ring life ring was larger than the twelve-ring life ring with a dark golden color. As the two life rings rubbed and collided, sparks were aroused. In the flames that they could not see, Shade handed the pink crystal dagger to the nun, and the nun held it and stabbed it into the heart.

On the huge eight-ring life ring, the three spiritual runes of Miracle - [Charm], Enlightenment - [Clock Tower Lovers], and Enlightenment - [Flesh and Blood], the spiritual light that bloomed was like a sun bursting out from the ground. So the two life rings touched again behind the soaring flames, but this time, it was the twelve-ring life ring that was perfectly embedded in the eight-ring life ring.

The primordial fire wrapped around them, the melted brass and dark gold metal stuck together, and then were perfectly fused into a scarlet life ring under the pink crystals.

Boom!

In the endless light, flames exploded like a tornado towards the sky where a silver moon appeared in the daytime, until they completely engulfed the entire forest.

When Miss Danister, who raised her arms to block her eyes, and Miss Bell, who hid behind her, looked around again, the raging sea of ​​fire had replaced the autumn forest scenery. Flames were everywhere, and the charred trees were shaking in the sea of ​​fire because of the twisting of the air.

The sky turned a strange burnt yellow color, but the sun and the silver moon were still clearly hanging on the left and right sides of the sky.

Even if the flames licked their skin, it only brought a warm feeling.

The bell tower, the center of the sea of ​​fire and the nailed black insect have now formed a line, and the red cracked land burned by the flames has also turned into a neat stone road.

Shade's figure had now disappeared in the spreading flames, leaving only the gray-haired nun with her head lowered standing there.

"Is this the maze lock?"

The young witch apprentice had never seen such a scene, and then, amid her screams and accompanied by rustling sounds, the nun standing on the stone road turned into an ash sculpture wearing a silver eye mask in the flames.

The sculpture's surface was covered with tiny holes. The solidified nun and the colorless statue made the eye mask with dense patterns look so gorgeous and mysterious. Then, the statue collapsed into ashes and disappeared in the sea of ​​fire.

On the last small pile of ashes that remained, the blindfold that looked like a silver crown lay there quietly, reflecting the dazzling light of the surrounding sea of ​​fire.

But soon, a big hand wrapped in gray gauze and covered with fiery red cracks picked up the blindfold.

Only Laplace Howard had seen the fusion state with Sister Defuline.

Therefore, even the red-haired girl put her hands on her chest to stop her breathing from being so rapid. Because she clearly saw that Shade, who was over three meters tall, wearing a tattered gray-black knight armor, wrapped in gray gauze, and even the edge of her skirt armor was flashing with dazzling red embers, had the shining mithril eye mask stuck on the upper end of her left arm.

He waved his sturdy arms, and ashes kept falling from his body. Then he pulled out the long sword [Ashes] wrapped in a gray stone shell from the flames beside him, and sparks and cracks immediately spread towards the long sword.

The stone shell peeled off, and the sword was covered with fiery red cracks, just like the armor and gray gauze on Shade's body at this time. The long sword quickly grew larger in the flames until it became a flaming sword that matched Shade's current body shape.

The swung greatsword split the sea of ​​fire directly forward, and the armored Ash Knight stepped towards the nailed bug at the end of the cobblestone road.

Because of the high temperature environment, beads of sweat slid down the delicate white face of the red-haired girl who was watching this scene. She licked her lips subconsciously, and after realizing her loss of composure, she hurriedly looked at the girl next to her, only to find that Miss Bell was also holding her breath and staring at the scene in the maze in front of her.

The eighteen-year-old girl bit her lip.

At this moment, Shad was inhaling and exhaling the power of fire with his breathing. It was not known whether it was because the First Fire had recovered more flames than last time, or it was simply because of his increased proficiency, or because Sister Defulin had become more proficient in controlling the First Fire. Shad clearly felt that the power of the maze "Clock Tower Lovers" this time was stronger than the last time he fought against Laplace Howard at Green Lake.

Every part of his body was excited by the fiery power of the First Fire, and his soul, which was close to Sister Develin, clearly felt the extreme satisfaction brought by the coolness of the nun's soul. It felt strange, Sister Develin's soul was not as hot as his.

With a wave of his hand, the [Staff of Yggdrasil] that pierced through the ground automatically flew back to the tall Ash Knight's hand. The big hand grabbed the small staff, and then the cracks of the flames also spread to the long staff, causing the staff to quickly grow until it matched Shade's current body shape.

Without the restraint of the long staff, the Paradox Worm, which had revealed its insect body in the second stage, turned into a beam of black light and crashed into him with a buzzing sound.

The sticky feeling of sluggishness meant that the normal flow of time was affected again, but in the surging sea of ​​fire, even the two ladies in the maze were not affected by this ancient evil, because -

Click~
The hands of the clock tower turned, and even Xia De, the caster of the maze, noticed for the first time that the loyal love of the "Clock Tower Lovers" that embraced each other tightly across time actually allowed the maze to resist the enemy to a certain extent and enhance its own time power.

"So during the Battle of Moon Bay, when Adele and I were in our combined form, we were able to use those [Disaster Cards] to successfully launch a sneak attack on the gods. It wasn't just because she was so powerful."

The black light transformed by the paradox worm had already arrived in front of it, and the burning sword [Ashes] swept forward. Amidst the loud bang, the long sword that could not touch the paradox worm smashed the worm to the ground.

The earth was shaking, the shining green light of the [Staff of Yggdrasil] and the flames of [Ashes] merged together, and the black staff was inserted into the feet of the tall Ash Knight.

With the soul power of the Twelve Rings Fire-wielding Sister, the surging sea of ​​fire climbed up the staff, using the staff as a trunk to form a majestic giant flaming tree beside the tall figure:
"The stability principle of the ancient elves!"

Then, under the shadow of the giant tree, green dots of light and fiery red dots of light jumped together. The insect lying on the ground hummed even more fiercely, but its body could no longer move.

So the tall Ash Knight raised the greatsword with both hands and slashed at the insect's body in the last bright light of the fire.

boom!
The extreme light and heat made the red-haired and black-haired girls close their eyes together. When they opened their eyes again, their hearts were still beating violently because of the scene just now, but the surroundings were clearly the golden woodland illuminated by the autumn afternoon sun.

The ground was covered with withered yellow leaves, and trees with leaves hanging from them stood around. When the wind blew, the fallen leaves fluttered in the wind. There was no flame or sea of ​​fire, but the air seemed unusually warm at this time, and there was no dust in sight.

The abnormal optical phenomenon caused by the expansion of the spirit was slowly dissipating, and when he looked at Sister Shad and Sister Defulin again, they were now sitting around a bonfire.

Looking closely, it was clearly the [Ashes] sword slanting into the burning black bug.

Sister Develyn knelt beside the fire, inserting her hands into the flames, touching the tip of the sword. Shade stood opposite her, watching the flames burn with a serious expression.

The crackling sound awakened the red-haired girl who was still immersed in the scene of the maze, and she let out a trembling breath.

"This is Shade's puzzle lock. Fusion."

The eighteen-year-old girl felt like she had solved a lot of questions, but more questions also arose.

She patted Miss Charlotte Bell, who had not yet recovered from the shock of the maze lock. The latter made a strange sound of "oh" before coming to her senses:

"Is it over? Teacher Misuo is right. Only the most special souls can give birth to such magnificent power. Professor, was that Misuo just now?"

"You haven't seen it, have you? Since Shade let you see it, it means he doesn't mind letting Flora know."

After adjusting her mood, Miss Danister was about to walk towards the two people by the fire, but she heard new footsteps coming from behind her. Turning her head, she saw the blonde elf passing her and walking towards the flames at a faster pace.
