The Whispering Verses Chapter 1460: Chasing
Chapter 1460 Chase
Last time at Watson Manor, the devil did not use all its strength because it still counted on Shade to complete its commission. This time Shade had to deal with the complete stone mirror devil-Goethe.
"The Witcher's Ring"
Compared with the potion, which has a time limit on its effectiveness, it cares more about the ring on Shade’s finger:
"I miss you so much, the time of the Third Age seems like yesterday. I miss those demon hunters very much. Although most of them are just ordinary mortals, there are a few of them who left a deep impression on me. Impression. Now in the sixth era, I am really happy to see this ring again. But I don’t know if you understand what kind of power humans living in the ancient era have.”
"Is the witcher you miss the one who sealed you after the fall of the Kingdom of Stonewell in the Sixth Era?"
Xia De asked. In just a few seconds, without any movement, the efficacy of the golden potion had been maximized.
"It's no use trying to anger a demon."
The devil reminded, Shade raised his sword in the snow:
"So are you ready? This time, I must seal it!?br/>
After saying that, his whole figure turned into a stream of light, and he rushed towards the devil with his sword, who watched Shade getting closer and closer. But when Shade took a certain step, his figure suddenly disappeared in the snow, and then appeared closer to the gate of the manor. After the figure appeared, it was very silky and turned into a group of red butterflies and flew directly. Towards the outside.
"Run away? This will make me look down on you."
So Goethe turned into black smoke and chased after him.
The effect of "golden potion" is not limited to increasing the lethality against demons, but also its enhancement to the ring warlock itself is considerable.
Xia De, who transformed into a group of red butterflies, even pulled out a golden stream of light during flight. And as if the devil was playing tricks on him, the black smoke followed him and flew with him into the chaotic forest on fire outside the manor:
"I thought you had enough courage, why did you run away?"
The devil's whisper reached directly into the ears of Shade, who was in the form of a group of butterflies. Fortunately, he was unable to speak in this state, so he did not have to answer.
The burning cedar forest was full of smoke. Shade chose his own flight path in the thick fog and hot fire. He knew where he wanted to go.
"You don't think you can escape by yourself, do you?"
The sound of laughter intertwined with the sound of the ground and the burning sound of beeps, trying to interfere with Shade's thoughts. But Shade had been preparing for this night for so long, and his plan was going pretty well so far.
"Your fate will be as tragic as Oxenfurt's. Your family, your lover, and everything you have will eventually fall into my control."
If he hadn't encountered different demons one after another last year, Shade might really be affected by the demon's whispers at this time.
He could not maintain the red butterfly form for too long. After returning to his own body, he continued to run forward without saying a word.
The flames were blocked in front of him under the control of the devil, showing different illusions. Shade hugged a woman and cried. Shade shouted outside the burning house. Shade knelt in front of the grave and covered his face and cried bitterly.
But Shade paid no attention to these. He ran in the flames like a maze, ignoring the inducing sounds and various strange sights in his ears. The black mist transformed by the demon followed him, not attacking his vital points, but constantly creating various wounds on the surface of his body.
And Shade would only turn around and point the [Profane Cross] behind him when he was in danger, forcing the black mist to retreat a little, and then run forward again.
He just wants to get to his destination now.
Finally, Shade, who was covered in injuries, rushed out of the burning forest and came to the Elron River outside Oxenfurt Manor.
Oxenfurt Manor is actually close to the Elrond River. There is a small wharf outside the manor that is convenient for smuggling, and Shade and Oxenfurt also passed the bridge here last time they raced.
Shade, who rushed out of the fire scene, felt that the power of the golden potion was weakening, and at the same time he also felt an obvious spatial barrier on the other side of the ice-covered Elrond River.
He rushed towards the river, but was forced by the devil to stop at the river beach. At this time, the blood on Shade's forehead slid down his cheeks, and a tear was opened in the clothes on his back, revealing a somewhat **** back, but it was all worth it. Although he definitely couldn't defeat the devil in a head-on battle, he won in the end.
The devil's figure appeared in the black smoke at the edge of the burning forest, with his back to the manor and the burning forest behind him. Farther away were the noisy mountains in the heavy snow, and the indistinguishable shadows flying in the night sky. Monster:
"Superstitious belief is that demons and vampires cannot cross rivers because the water is clean. If you are walking towards the river in such a hurry, you are not a magician who also believes in this superstition, right?"
Xia De shook his head, and the firelight reflected the ice a hundred meters behind him red. He tried to stand up, but still did not choose to call the doctor:
"Do you really know who I am?"
"Pseudonym is John Watson, but you have an inexplicable and mysterious connection with the Godcaller. In the important events in the Randall Valley in recent months, you have been vaguely involved. But you It doesn’t matter who you are, what matters is that you made the wrong choice.”
The demon on the shore looked at Shade. The fire on the shore illuminated Shade's face. Shade held a silver cross in his left hand, sliding from the upper right to the lower left. He held a long sword in his right hand, sliding from the upper left to the lower right.
Two dazzling moonlights intertwined into a huge silver cross in front of me. The light at that moment was even more dazzling than the burning forest in the distance:
"Moonlight - slash!"
Bumping forward sideways, the silver cross containing golden power hit the demon on the shore. This time, even this ancient evil spirit did not dare to be disrespectful. It took a step back lightly, trying to enter the mirror that suddenly appeared behind it.
But Shade’s voice has appeared behind it:
"Don't even think about leaving!"
He kicked the demon, trying to push it towards the upcoming Moonlight Cross. But with a snap of the fingers, time was stopped, the fluttering gray snowflakes stood still in the air, and the moonlight cross stood still in the air.
The demon turned around and grabbed Shade's ankle, slamming him toward the ground. Shade supported the ground with one hand, used his strength to break free from the devil's hand, then turned around and struck out with a sword.
Click!
The sword was caught in the devil's hand and then broke abruptly:
"I said, this thing is useless!"
But then, it had to avoid Shade's left hand wearing the [Demon Hunting Seal].
The black light from the demon's left hand shot towards Shade's left chest, but was immediately blocked by the silver [Profane Cross]. The silver moonlight sword pierced the demon's throat, but was easily blocked by the demon.
While the devil stretched out his hand to block the moonlight sword, Shade clenched his left hand with the ring and struck the enemy in front of him with his fist. The devil did not dodge this time and responded with punches as well.
After a bang~, Shade flew far away, landed on the ice and rolled several times before stopping.
"If your golden potion could last longer, maybe you might actually have the upper hand."
The demon looked at his hand that showed serious signs of corrosion due to contact with the [Demon Hunting Seal]:
"You don't think that just because you wear that ring, you can really hunt demons. What are you doing?"
It saw Shade cracking the ice with his fist, and then throwing something in.
Shadow gasped and stood up on the ice. Even though the effect of the potion had dissipated, his eyes still seemed to be glowing:
"You don't want to play games with me, do you? I once thought about what would happen if someone stronger than you took away Oxenfurt's soul in advance."
With a smile on his face, he slowly retreated on the ice away from the devil and away from the hole he made on the ice:
"I don't know many evil gods, but I know other things. It's just that my nun friend gave up my idea. Because she thought that Oxenfurt was just an ordinary person, like most people in this world I thought about it and thought that what she said made sense. His desire was not stronger than the other strange guys I met, so I gave up the idea of letting other beings take away his soul. Ford is a very vulgar person."
A huge black shadow slid under the ice between Shade and the demon on the shore. Even the fire in the forest on the shore could not illuminate the shadow.
Goethe, the stone mirror demon, instinctively felt the danger.
It squinted at Shade:
"What do you want to say?"
"Do you know why I chose the last reward just now?"
Xia De stopped retreating and took out the rolled up note:
"Because I want to confirm again what your attitude is towards her."
At this moment, Shade even felt that his heartbeat was louder than the roar of the giant beast in the distance. The night is already very late, and the first thing of the night is about to end:
"Then I got a very clear answer, you are not as good as her."
"You won't be——"
For the first time since Shade knew this demon, the face of Oxenfurt showed an expression of astonishment:
"You madman, you actually called."
Click!
In the clear cracking sound, the first clear crack appeared on the ice between Shade and the devil. The crack protruded upward, as if something under the water was trying to break through the ice.
The next moment, a strong earthquake caused a roar throughout the Randall Valley area. In the loud noise, in the firelight, in the flying gray snowflakes, under the gaze of Shade and the devil, the entire ice surface of nearly a kilometer downstream of the Elrond River exploded, and a person could not be illuminated by any light. The bright, beautiful and noble figure, the huge figure that resembled a mermaid, jumped up from the ice, danced with the snowflakes in the air, and then fell into the ice floe on the other side with an elegant gesture.
