Holding the sword in both hands, he waved a [Moonlight Slash] towards the front. The bright moonlight temporarily illuminated the corridor, but it went straight through the snake's head, as if the snake was really just an illusion.
The snake looked at Shad, swimming towards him slowly but with growing whispering power.
[Because I don't know the characteristics of the relic, I can't know the specific reason. But just touching the snake, it can be confirmed that the other party is in a physical state. 】
"Then why..."
[When your attack touches the opponent's snake skin, the corresponding position is transformed into a special state of nothingness. You did hit the target, you just didn't do any damage. This should be one of the characteristics of the relic. 】
"Where to attack, where will become nothingness?"
Xia De understood, and the best way to deal with this kind of enemy seems to be to attack the opponent's whole body in an instant, but there is also the possibility that the opponent's whole body can be blurred.
"It is indeed a very troublesome relic. No wonder only the third ring dares to carry out such a task. When I was in the third ring, I was..."
Thinking of what he was doing when he was in the third ring, Xia De thought again:
"However, since it is not avoiding the attack, but making the attack ineffective, then it is not really without weaknesses."
He thought of another method, and the pitch-black mortal sin chains flowed out from the sleeve of his left arm. [Gluttony], [Greed], and [Laziness] runes written in languages of different eras are intertwined in series on the chains. After linking [laziness] to this thaumaturgy through the ritual, the strength and length of the chain of mortal sins have become more outstanding than before.
Coupled with the incantation learned from "The Pink Book" - [Living Rope Trick], Xia De can now control the chain more freely.
In the darkness, the slender black chains climbed along the carpet towards the big snake, and the pitch-black snake also crawled towards Xia De. When the chain touched the big snake, the latter didn't care about this slender "similar" at all. As Shad expected, the chains of mortal sin tried to bind the snake, but it still passed through the snake's body.
And at this moment, the climbing snake suddenly stopped, and at the same time, Xia De also felt that the spirit in his body was being consumed rapidly because the chains were imprisoning an extremely powerful guy:
"Sure enough, although it can't attack, it can still be imprisoned!"
The big snake didn't stop completely, but its squirming body seemed to be hit by a not-so-sophisticated petrification technique.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia De took a step forward and appeared directly in front of the big snake, swinging his sword with both hands and chopping down, the light traces of the silver moon left a brilliant afterglow in the darkness. But at this moment, the imprisoned huge black snake actually melted into the darkness, and Xia De's attack failed again:
"Relying on the dark space to move? What kind of creature did that snake skin belong to?"
【left. 】
Clang~
The swung sword swept across the strange triangular snake head biting on the left side. It was obvious that the snake had already broken free from the chain by relying on the ability to move in space, but Xia De's sword did not pass through the snake's head, but actually slashed at the snake's head On, there was a heavy crashing sound:
"The power of space and the power of virtualization can't be used at the same time?"
The moonlight sword flicked the snake away, and the big snake hissed at Xia De after landing, staring directly at the human in front of him in the dark, and it was getting stronger and stronger.
"Spatial Stability Halo!"
Xia De stepped on the ground with his left foot, and invisible ripples spread around. The black snake seemed to sense something, and turned around to retreat.
"The Great Sin Chain!"
The chain slid out towards the ground again, and the big snake wanted to dodge quickly, but the [Live Rope Trick] in the "Pink Book" specially restrained this kind of flexible movement. Rope, let alone a snake. Therefore, in the short confrontation between the snake tail and the chain, it was still penetrated by the chain.
The snake head slowly turned to Xia De, and opened its mouth to show its fangs, as if it wanted to make a desperate blow, but Xia De would not give it another chance. The last thing the snake saw was the incomparably gorgeous moonlight.
"Moonlight Great Sword!"
The silver big sword fell behind the big snake, passed through the snake's head, and scattered into dots of light in the darkness.
pat~
The snake's head fell on the carpet, and the heavy corpse fell with it.
Shad breathed a sigh of relief, noticing that the gas lamps in the corridor were quickly turned on as the giant snake's carcass was burning. But he still frowned, because inside the burning snake corpse, a man's body appeared again, and the head of that corpse was broken like the snake corpse:
When the last black flame disappeared, the giant snake's body was completely burned to ashes, leaving only the man's body lying on the carpet, but strangely, no blood flowed out. In the mouth of the man's head, a small piece of snake skin exposed a corner.
Xia De bent down and pulled the piece of snake skin out of the corpse's mouth, confirming that it was the original body of the relic. Probably because Shad just defeated it, so its whisper element is much weaker than before:
"Clerical level (level 4) loot, but this thing is really disgusting."
Putting the snake skin in his notebook, Xia De searched the man's body briefly, but found nothing:
"He didn't bring a wallet, confidential letters, or even a diary when he went out? Is he poorer than me?"
He complained softly, using a handkerchief to restore the canvas toy into a canvas, and then using the canvas to turn the corpse into a toy.
Looking at the corridor damaged by the short battle just now, he took a deep breath, and [Breath of Time] reversed the time to restore everything to its original appearance.
Not staying here for long, Shad continued walking along the corridor. After walking up the stairs, he soon came to the door of Miss Sylvia's lounge, but he didn't get any response after knocking on the door.
"Sorry, please forgive my faux pas."
Xia De said softly, turned the handle and pushed the door open.
Unfortunately, although the lights were on in the room, there was no one there. The windows of the room were closed tightly, and the thick cloth embroidered curtains blocked the moonlight outside the windows.
"Where did Miss Sylvia go?"
He walked quickly to the window, opened the curtains and looked outside. The outside of this room was the garden of the manor. The garden where there should have been gas lamps was pitch black at the moment, but with dark vision, Shad could see three low-ring warlocks of the church fighting a five-ring warlock holding a flowerpot, and he could also see the church of mechanics. The six-ring warlock is building a machine in the void, fighting against the six-ring warlock who is manipulating vines.
In the garden of this mansion, there were at least a dozen people fighting. The two sides of the battle were the Church and the hired Pantanal Voodoo Society. It was obvious that the Church had the upper hand, but everyone tacitly did not use their belts. Spells and thaumaturgy with pronounced sound and light effects.
Xia De did not find Miss Sylvia from the garden, frowned and looked into the room again, then suddenly closed his eyes, holding his breath and concentrating. Following the vague inspiration, he opened his eyes and came to the door, and then looked at the oil painting facing the door:
"There's something wrong with this painting."
The gas lamps in the corridor were very bright, and the red carpet under the feet even looked scarlet in that light.
The oil painting picture under the gas lamp is a gray pyramid-like temple located in a dense forest. The temple is made of square bricks, and the surrounding giant trees and vines almost completely submerge it. At first glance, there is nothing special about it, it is just an ordinary landscape painting of ruins, but staring at the painting closely, there is an illusion of being sucked in.
In the blink of an eye, the oil painting instantly turned into a weird and indescribable scary thing made up of trees, vines, grass, flowers, and thorns, but in the blink of an eye again, it changed back to its original appearance.
Xia De took a step back in surprise, but quickly came to the wall again. Reaching out to take off the oil painting, I felt the four elements at the same time when I touched it.
He reached out to touch the screen, but his hand was immediately bounced away by a huge force:
"what's the situation?"
[There is a subspace sealed in the painting, similar to the 'Word of Sublimation' and 'Mystery Lock', but not the first two. There is a high probability that Emma Silvia is among them, and she can feel the power of the witch in the painting. 】
"Can I go in?"
Xia De frowned slightly. Although he didn't know what was going on, as long as he found Miss Sylvia, all the problems now could be solved easily.
[With your sword, stab it. But you have to be aware that such spaces are easy to enter but difficult to leave. 】
"I know."
The right hand drew the moonlight sword out of the air again, but this time it was the slender yellow sword. Xia De holds the sword in both hands, pointing the tip of the sword at the oil painting, with a serious expression:
"I want to see what happened to ~www.mtlnovel.com~."
The tip of the sword pierced the oil painting, and the bright light in the corridor suddenly went out. Everything around is fading, and those illusory colors are rapidly reorganizing.
Xia De looked around vigilantly, and the stench and rotten smell came. He was standing in a tunnel with sewage flowing on the ground. The surrounding stone walls were covered with green plants, and these plants were emitting green light. Lighting here.
This looks like the interior of a long-abandoned ancient building in the Great Swamp. This desolate corridor exudes a sense of antiquity and vicissitudes. Nature and mystery seem to blend together perfectly here.
Carefully observe the stone walls covered with green plants, and carefully look at the shallow running water under your feet. Going forward along the corridor, the shimmering things on the wall that look like tree roots and creepers become thicker and thicker. The air gradually became thinner, and the unexplained mental pressure made it difficult for Xia De to move forward every step of the way.
He quickly came to the end along the corridor. It was a square temple space. The six sides of the entire room were all made of rough gray ashlar stones, and there was a stone platform on the innermost wall. A ghastly statue cobbled together from plant remains.
