Whispering Poems

Chapter 2660: Mental Illness Aura
The wind blew up the yellow sand, causing visibility to drop rapidly. So when a figure appeared next to the damaged fountain statue in the center of the square, Shade couldn't even see who it was at first.

"Judging from his figure, he is a man."

Unlike previous enemies that appeared in monster form, this time the figure hidden under the sandstorm was in normal human form.

It stood beside the remains of the fountain, not attacking, and not even trying to move towards Shade. This made Shade suspect that it was an illusion, so he summoned the Life Ring while moving forward in the wind and sand, and threw a [Crystal of Truth] made by thaumaturgy in its direction, but the figure did not change.

He was not the kind of person who would take action only after getting close to see the other person's appearance out of curiosity. Seeing that the other person was not moving and the distance was right, Xia De held the lightning spear in his right hand, and the silver-white lightning penetrated the wind and sand.

The lightning easily hit the figure beside the fountain, but the attack seemed to be absorbed by the opponent and had no effect. Just as Xia De was puzzled, a thunderclap suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and then a lightning spear flew rapidly towards his head from a distance.

He immediately summoned the Moonlight Greatsword and stabbed it into the ground. The golden shield blocked the lightning spear abruptly, but after the shield dissipated, Shade's face looked very bad:
"Coincidence or... Moonlight Slash!"

The greatsword slashed forward, and the dazzling silver blade flew into the wind and sand again parallel to the ground, but was immediately blocked by the opponent's "Hidden Seal". Then, just as Shade had thought, almost the same moonlight lit up in the opponent's hand, and the silver moonlight greatsword swung towards him, and the moonlight slash also flew towards him.

"It can copy the thaumaturgy it sees!"

He subconsciously wanted to use "Ragra's Leap" to dodge the attack but held back. Obviously, "Night Seal" was the most suitable to block the moonlight, but Shade still used the "Hedon Seal" just now.

It was only at this moment that the yellow sand that was swept by the strong wind finally dispersed a little, allowing Shade to see the true face of the enemy this time. At the same time, Adele, who was standing by the wall behind him, also said the name of this evil thing:
"【Intelligent Prophet】, the calamity of wisdom and knowledge! This is a very troublesome thing - Shade, don't let it get close to you no matter what. It has a mentally retarded aura around it, and anyone who gets close will become a fool!"

The face of the evil humanoid creature standing next to the fountain where the broken girl was holding a water bottle gradually became clear in Shad's eyes. It was the appearance of Durut Giles, who lived with the girl's soul, Rust Edwards.

This young man, who had experienced the final battle at Green Lake safely in the present world when the stranger arrived, and was now working as a history lecturer and living a peaceful life, was now wearing a decent but tattered black silk suit and dusty black leather shoes.

It didn't hold anything in its hands, but its entire body seemed to have turned into a collection of bookshelves, with every inch of its skin undulating with black book-like protrusions.

These bulges and undulations were extremely slow and small, so Xia De could recognize him. Although he didn't know what he had experienced in the "past life" era when he didn't appear, it was definitely not a pleasant thing.

"Retarded Halo? Is there really such a thing?"

Although Xia De was asking loudly, he kept retreating.

"Of course. And the Wisdom Prophet can master all the abilities it sees! The more 'wisdom' it has, the wider the range of the fool halo and the stronger the effect. Be careful, I don't know how much 'wisdom' the one you encounter has now."

Adele's voice came from the wind. Without her reminder, Shad knew that if he wanted to deal with this thing, he could only kill it with one blow using the magic that it had never mastered.

Therefore, after figuring this out, he pulled out the key and turned it into a staff. He jumped up and wanted to transform into a red butterfly and fly high into the sky. At the same time, the figure of the "Prophet of Wisdom" beside the fountain flashed and then appeared behind Shade.

"Oh, no! It already has spatial abilities."

The witch by the wall covered half of her face, unable to bear to watch what happened next, but she was also ready to retreat to the house and rescue Shade remotely.

And at the moment when the evil creature with undulating skin appeared, Xia De, who was just about to jump, seemed to be tripped by something and fell to the ground comically.

The Staff of Yggdrasil fell to the side with a clang, and Shad rolled over on the sand for a few times before getting up on all fours. With a silly expression on his face, he meowed at the evil creature.

Adele's mouth trembled as she leaned against the wall, her eyes wide open, unable to bear to watch any further.

Duruto Giles, with a dull expression, raised his hand, and a white crystal spear quickly condensed from his hand. The soul crystal spear stabbed at Shade on the ground, but he didn't expect that a flash of light would turn Shade into a silver cat and continue to cry at it on all fours.

The spear was raised as if to pierce the cat's belly, but as the cat stretched out its front paw, the paw immediately turned into a huge silver dragon claw that crushed the spear.

The huge moonlight dragon cast its shadow onto the square. The dragon, with a still funny expression, lowered its head and blew a brilliant silver breath at the "tiny" evil creature.

The figure of the evil creature flashed and disappeared again and appeared above the Moonlight Dragon's head. It held its two hands together and raised them high. The huge sun spear quickly took shape under the black sun. The lightning seemed to dye the dim sky golden. The power of this attack was definitely beyond Iluna's level at that time.

However, accompanied by the huge golden thunder and hundreds of small lightning bolts falling, they just passed through a group of drunk butterflies and bombarded the square, and no butterfly was harmed.

As the thunder shattered the ground, Adele felt the house behind her shake several times. She quickly flew up to the roof of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, and saw that Shade, who had turned into a butterfly, was about to regain his "wisdom" after leaving the evil creature, but the evil creature followed him again.

The evil creature stepped on the ground with its right foot, and a series of runes flickered on the rising and falling book-like protrusions on its legs. The ritual was suddenly performed out of thin air, and the ritual array of "High-level Restoration Field" covered the entire square, suppressing Shad's transformation.

As if Shade was unsteady on his feet, he fell to the right again. The "Prophet of Wisdom" stretched out his hand to grab his arm, but the silver light thrown out by Shade's right hand as he staggered cut his body in half.

The illusion was broken, and the "Intelligent Prophet" walked out from behind Shade, but as the figure flashed, Shade also used his spatial ability to dodge. When the "Intelligent Prophet" followed closely, he raised his foot and kicked at the opponent, then put his hands on the ground and kicked the air with his feet, and silver, yellow and blood-red light blades flew in all directions.

"I really don't know whether to praise him for his strong instincts or..."

But a weak mind is a weak mind, and instinctive combat experience is no match for the "wise" evil creature. The light blade directly penetrated after touching the body of the "Wisdom Skeleton Prophet", and the evil creature approached Shade in a strange "virtual" state, and finally grabbed his arm.

In an instant, countless sentences composed of the common language of Drarion appeared on Shad's body and quickly flowed along the evil creature's hand towards the book that was rising and falling in its body.

At the same time, the evil creature's left hand stabbed directly into Shade's chest and grabbed a book from it. The book had a strange square-character cover, but the book itself was bright silver.
"Time stands still!"

Adele swooped down like a cannonball as the evil creature was stilled. The three hands on the huge golden dial behind her turned counterclockwise, and magic was performed to ensure that she could fly back through the reversal of time in three seconds.

She reached out from above and tried to grab the left leg of the upside-down Shade, but was bounced away by the burst of silver moonlight and hit heavily against the wall around the square.

"What's wrong? Xia De doesn't even recognize me?"

The powerful demigod witch got up in surprise, and was even more surprised to see that what bounced her away was not a ray of light, but a materialized silver flame.

Pure silver flames surrounded the two people in the square, and in the flames, the burning prophet was wailing silently.

It wanted to get away from Shade, but it couldn't move no matter what. The books in its body that were constantly undulating flashed at a faster frequency, and then with a muffled bang, tens of thousands of huge books were ejected in all directions of the square.

Its hand was still holding the strange book that it had taken out of Shade's chest, but the book had now completely left Shade's body. However, on the side of the book that was close to Shade's body, a silver transparent arm stretched out from Shade's chest and also grabbed the book.

Because of the obstruction of the silver fire, Adele couldn't see clearly what the arm that stretched out from Shad's body was, but at least she saw that the "silver fire" was flowing out from the "crack" that appeared on the arm.

On the strange silver book held by both sides, all the Draerion runes that had just flowed out flowed back, and even brought back knowledge that did not originally belong to the book.

Then the transparent and slender hand holding the silver book returned to Shad's body, and "Druut Giles", who had lost all his "wisdom" and was still being burned by the silver fire, turned around and tried to flee out of the square.

At this moment, Shade, who felt like he was dreaming, finally woke up, covering his head. He looked blankly at the pile of books on the square in front of him, and saw the Staff of Yggdrasil at his feet, so he picked it up, raised it above his head, and threw it forward with all his strength.

This attack did not involve any magic, but was purely physical. With a whoosh, the long staff pierced through the wind and sand and pierced the back of the evil creature, then nailed it to the outer wall of No. 1 St. Teresa's Square.
