Whispering Poems

Chapter 3240: Filthy Frozen and Chaos

Sylvia stretched out her hand and sensed it:
"The state of the interior space is unknown. What I sensed in the tower should be here. Judging from the traces of the battle just now and the situation here, we are in the right place."

"I'll walk in front, you two be careful."

Vanessa said, and after the flames from Shade's hand melted the huge block of ice blocking the door, she was the first to walk in, but she stopped just after entering:
"Xia De, it seems that my feeling just now was correct. This place is very familiar, right?"

The light that was summoned illuminated the interior of the cave, and black ice blocks filled the rock walls and the top of the head. They absorbed the bright moonlight but did not reflect any light.

There seemed to be black clouds surging inside the ice, and the rock walls and snow layers connected to the ice blocks also had a faint black color.

"This is... Crazy Land?"

Xia De was a little surprised, but immediately shook his head:

"Very similar, but not the same as the normal Crazy Earth. This kind of filth is not particularly strong, so it shouldn't affect Miss Reinhardt. Wait a moment, I'll take care of it - Power of the Earth, Healing Aura!"

Normal soil and petals were sprinkled by Shade, and a small soil holy grail was formed between his hands, and then slowly sank to the ground under his feet. As the earth-yellow spiritual energy erupted, the black color of the ice crystals around the cave quickly faded.

Soon, a brand new Holy Grail floated out from under his feet again. After being caught by Shad, Shad saw that the rune on it was [Ice Crystal].

"No problem, the pollution has been eliminated."

Vanessa judged, but Sylvia pointed out:
"The spatial anomaly in the cave still exists. These contaminants are not the cause of the spatial anomaly."

The three of them continued to move inwards. The long cave passage remained basically straight. It looked like it was not dug by humans, but more like a normal crack in the mountain.

Less than 200 meters in, it seemed that they had reached the end of the cave, but in front of the frozen rock wall at the end of the passage, there were four unconscious girls. Most of their bodies were frozen, and their hair and eyebrows were covered with frost. Although they were still breathing, they had obviously lost the ability to move.

The girl with the highest level of ten rings was the most seriously injured and was almost on the verge of death. Xia De quickly walked over and used "false immortality" to help her maintain her life. He placed his fingers on her forehead, and the chill in his heart was even colder than the snow on the snowy mountain.

He slowly released the "Moon Fire" to help her stabilize her injuries. Vanessa whispered:

"These are Claire's followers. I've seen them before."

She and Sylvia checked the other three girls' conditions together, and only by touching the ice on their bodies could they detect the whispering elements and blasphemy. However, the ice itself was certainly not the source of the elements, and they should have been attacked by something unknown.

"External injuries are easy to treat, but this is an unusual chill. Xia De, come here."

Vanessa also picked up another girl, and Shade took out a ball of golden light from his chest and sent it into their bodies:

"The fire within!"

The warm soul temperature was sent into the bodies affected by the extreme cold, slowly dispelling the chill with whispering elements. After the breathing of the four girls gradually became stable, Vanessa and Sylvia used fire to melt the ice covering their bodies.

The seriously injured ten-ring girl and the other seven-ring and eight-ring girls did not wake up, but the nine-ring girl held by Vanessa barely opened her eyes. She probably didn't see clearly who saved her in her blurred consciousness, but just barely raised her finger and pointed at the frozen wall, and then fainted again.

"Echoes of the past!"

Shade continued to cast the spell. Few people appeared in this hidden cave, so he heard the voice of the Sun Witch directly on his first try:
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect the pollution of the snow mountain to be so direct. I rashly sensed the snow mountain and let the pollution be transmitted to me. What is that? That piece of ice. No! It's a living thing! It's an attack! Retreat into the cave."

The sound that followed turned into a series of noises, indicating that the thing that attacked them had the property of interfering with time. Basically, ancient evil objects and high-level relics will affect time and space.

"It seems that Miss Reinhardt was directly affected by the pollution I just purified as soon as she entered this cave."

"Is her luck so bad?"

They certainly couldn't move forward with the four unconscious girls, but the danger here had been eliminated. So after casting a spell to protect and hide the four people, Shade and the witches continued their investigation.

The ice covering the wall at the end of the cave could not even be melted by the ordinary flames summoned by the witches. After Shade's flame melted a big hole in it, Sylvia put her hand on the cold wall, and then searched the wall for a while, and finally understood what happened here:
"So that's what it is. A keeper-level relic - [Wall of Disorder]. This relic is a typical trap-type relic. Its properties will only be triggered when you touch the wall at a certain speed. Other than that, this wall is completely the same as a normal wall. However, it's very easy to fall accidentally near this wall.

The specific characteristics of the relic are that objects with speeds exceeding a certain value will pass directly through the wall and then be randomly teleported to any place within 100 miles. For a short period of time after being teleported, all states of the individual itself will show the characteristics of 'chaos'.

It cannot be marked or tracked, and even the ring wizard will most likely fall into a state of temporary loss of control. Claire is an eleventh-level witch, so she should not be greatly affected by this relic. The ring wizard, who has two opposing powers, will be more affected. "

She thought of Claire using the power of ice and the sun at the same time, but Shade was still puzzled:
"This is a Secret Keeper-level relic. Can it block the Council's detection of witches?"

Vanessa, who has more experience than Sylvia, knows very well:

"This is one of the few relics that can influence the power of the parliament. The wise witch left her opinion on this relic. This wall may have existed in the parliament a long time ago. Let's find Claire first. Sylvia, is there any way?"

The Great Witch of Space felt the power of the relic again and nodded affirmatively:

"Under normal circumstances, there is no way, but I am in front of this relic, and I am the Great Witch of Space. Also, this wall cannot create ice. Claire must have encountered something else."

Sylvia made some simple attempts. Although she was unable to immediately track the traces of space teleportation in a short period of time, she relied on the [Ancient Witch's Golden Ring - Second from Left] on her hand to actually have an effect on the wall:
"I can make the next person who passes through this wall appear at the same place where Claire was after she passed through the wall, according to the same random movement rules. Of course, the premise is that the last person who passed through the wall was really her. But I have to cast the spell outside the wall, and I can't pass through it myself this way, and..."

"I come."

Vanessa said decisively. Although she didn't want Claire to know about Shade and the witches in advance, now was not the time to think about such things. Unfortunately, Sylvia shook her head regretfully:
"Vanessa, you are level 13, two levels higher than me. I can't let you pass."

"Then I'll do it."

Shade held Vanessa's shoulders:

"My resistances may be higher than yours. And although I have mastered various powers, my main system is still the moon, so there is no possibility of conflict. It is now a night in March, and my power is the strongest at this time. Even if the relic has an effect on me, it is definitely less than that of others.

The only question is, can you track me down after I leave?"

Vanessa handed her gold ring to Shade:
"No matter where you go, I can sense the location of my own ring. This is the highest authority. Go, Shad, find Claire. Sylvia and I will rush to you quickly."

After Sylvia made some simple preparations, she began to cast the spell. After her three countdowns, Shade suddenly rushed towards the wall. After his body touched the wall, he felt that he had stepped on empty air. He stumbled forward and fell to the ground. After he quickly got up, he heard the sound of the waves.

Except for the sound of waves and wind, the surroundings were very calm. He felt his own condition and except for a slight feeling of nausea, he did not feel any weakening of the power of "chaos".

"She" chuckled at this moment, but said nothing. It was better if he didn't weaken. The rocky beach under his feet and the dark sea in front of him proved that he was at the seaside, and the snow-capped mountains of Fatumonster that he saw when he turned around proved that he was still on the island.

He looked down at the ring in his hand. After putting it on his finger, the enhancement effect of this sage-level relic was immediately apparent. Although it was not as obvious as when Shade was at a lower level, it still had an effect.

"Unquenchable Fire Seal!"

Although the Moon Seal did not allow the girls to track back to Shade, this time Shade was just trying to sense the location of Sylvia and Vanessa. The spell was cast quite smoothly, and then with the help of "Strong Spatial Perception" to locate, he immediately knew that he was now in the north of Fatumonster Island.

Although the Wheel of Time City is in the southern part of the island, the northern part of the island is not completely uninhabited. There are some fishing villages and towns here, but the prosperity is not as strong as the southern part of the island. Now we should be in the wilderness beach, but at least we don't have to worry about the battle affecting ordinary people.

With Sylvia and Vanessa's speed, they would be able to find her in a few minutes, so Shade continued to search for the Great Witch of the Sun.

This was very simple, because he could find traces with his naked eyes. The traces of the battle here extended all the way to the east side of the coast. Ice crystals and melting snow on the ground caused by the burning of the sun's flames could be seen everywhere:
"Ms. Reinhardt is fighting something that uses the power of ice."
