Chapter 525: Crystal Forest

"Yes, it's those nuns, and the relationship between the council and the nuns of the [Spiritual Religion] is very good... What's your expression?"

Tifa looked at Shad suspiciously.

"Actually, I always thought that the Witch Council had a bad relationship with any ring magician group."

Xia De spoke his mind, after all, most of those witches have weird personalities.

Tifa gave him a reproachful look;

"Your Excellency, Speaker, has a lot of friends. Why do they come here? It's strange, but these are friends. Xia De, let's catch up. But you don't have to go forward, I will contact them and ask about things here."

Across the area in front of you is the Millwood Forest where the core of [Dark Domain] is located. Obtaining some information at this time will be very beneficial to the next action.

Although Tifa must be by Shad's side in order to be able to operate in the core area of ​​the dark realm in a safer way, since those nuns can also shine, it's okay for Tifa to stay away from Shad for a while.

The two hurried up, Shade stopped at a safe distance, and Tifa walked across the tens of meters of darkness to the walking nuns alone.

They are dressed in white clothes and black skirts, and their steps are basically the same when they walk. If they met at night, Xia De felt that it was more like a group of female ghosts.

The appearance of Tifa aroused the vigilance of the nuns. Although all of them covered their eyes with blindfolds, this did not seem to affect their perception.

Tifa made a gesture and took out a pendant from her neck, thus gaining the trust of the nuns. They talked in a low voice for less than three minutes, and then the nuns continued to set off, but looking at the direction, they were not heading towards the forest ahead.

Tifa turned around and returned to Xia De. Judging by her expression, she should have received good news:

"The nuns saw Miss half an hour ago and showed her the way!"

"So where is Miss Galina now?"

"The forest ahead, but the forest has been covered with black crystals. At least half an hour when we met, Miss was in good condition."

Tifa pointed forward, Xia De looked there, and clearly saw the huge black stone pillars that seemed to penetrate the sky and the earth.

"Is there any news about Darkness?"

"Forty minutes ago there was another battle nearby. The nuns said that the sinner who was possessed by the devil used an extremely filthy form to force back the ring warlock team of the Church of Dawn who was the first to catch up, and wounded one of them. Ring Warlock, then also moved towards the center of the field."

"So is there anyone else around here?"

"Before we came, there were three lone high-ring warlocks who appeared, but they were all forced back by the people of the church. In addition, the steel right hand that created the church should have also gone to the core of the field, 20 minutes later than Darkness , ten minutes later than Miss. Hermons the Blood Weeper was indeed chased by the Sunshine Sword just now, if there were not still things to deal with, the two thirteen-ring warlocks of the church would have joined forces to prevent him from leaving."

Tifa said, walking forward with Shad. They came a bit late and missed the great battle that took place here. It seemed that everything had come to an end, and they only had time to watch the end.

"So what are the nuns here for? It sounds like they've been around?"

"I don't know either."

Tifa shook her head regretfully:

"They also came for the second chosen one, but they didn't seem to want to kill him. But don't worry, the Sister Tiffany who led the team this time is only stronger than me. She is a magician with seven rings. They have no intention of moving forward. away."

The nuns only stayed in this direction, and they only saw people who continued to move forward in this direction, so there should be more ring magicians in the core of the field than the few they mentioned.

Shad and Tifa continued to walk forward, the thick darkness became even denser at this position, and the body could almost feel a substantial sense of oppression.

The blessings given to Shad by Priest Augustus are being worn down a lot, and Tifa's condition is also a bit bad. But as long as they don't fight, they can still hold on.

The black particle crystals on the ground became denser and larger. After bidding farewell to the nuns, they soon saw an old man in a gray robe lying on the ground among the crystals all over the ground.

Upon approaching, he was found alive, but in a coma. It was only after Shad turned him over that Tifa recognized Mr. Modelo, an Eleven Ring Warlock of the Church of Peace. Although he didn't look scarred on the outside, his breathing was very weak.

It was already the evening of the day, and Xia De treated him with [Syndia's Silver Moon Gift] and [Satiating Food], and Tifa also took out a small bottle of green potion. After drinking the potion, although Mr. Modelo's eyelids moved a little, as if he wanted to open them, he couldn't.

Xia De moved his ears closer, and heard the old man murmuring a word in a low voice:

"vampire."

"Vampire? [Blood Spirit School] is indeed related to the vampire clan. It seems that there is at least one high-ring variant ahead."

Tifa said worriedly, because the basic common sense is that heterogeneous ring warlocks of the same level are stronger than human ring warlocks.

"We have to leave quickly. It seems that we are really late. I hope the battle is not over yet."

Shad said.

Continuing forward, I saw several ring warlocks from the Orthodox Church one after another. Two of them have died, and one can be given the state of [False Immortality], and escape from serious injuries after treatment.

Most of the wounded have traces of [Human Pus] corrosion on their bodies. Xia De carried out emergency rescue to the people who were still alive, but failed to disperse the human pus because the moonlight on his fingertips was severely suppressed.

He can only do what he can do, but when this is over, the church should be able to find a way to treat these wounded.

Going forward, a ring warlock who does not belong to the church appeared. He was also in a coma, and no identity markers were found after checking his belongings. Tifa suspects these are other helpers the Bloodcryer has summoned when he goes to Tobesk. Since he had long planned to assist Darkness in the ceremony, it made no sense that there were no other people around him.

So they are not sure how many enemies are ahead.

The oppressive darkness made it difficult to take every breath. The silver light on his body and the golden light behind him barely supported his weak vision. At 7:23 in the evening, Tifa was finally able to see the black pillar piercing the sky and the earth in the darkness. Five minutes later, they passed through the empty town covered by giant black crystals and entered the strange and twisted Millwood. forest.

Now, it is more appropriate to call this place the Crystalline Forest.

On the outskirts of the Crystalline Forest, Xia De finally saw two high-ring warlocks from the Church of the Sun fighting against a tall demon together.

The appearance of that demon is almost the same as the demon that fought Shade in the cornfield, but it looks stronger, and it can rely on splitting its own body organs to fight.

The dismembered body floated in the air, drawing power from the thick darkness, looking extremely terrifying.

Tifa, who knew more information, told Shad that this is the demon "Hidden One" who guards the dark realm, and belongs to the alienated individual born in the Servant of Hidden. If it appeared in the outside world, this kind of demon would need at least two middle-ring warlocks to deal with it, and in the dark realm, two high-ring warlocks might not be able to defeat it.

Bypassing the two sides in the battle, they officially entered the crystalline forest under the trunk of the giant tree. Although the surrounding area was still silent, the chaotic elements showed that there were more ring warlocks in this forest than imagined.

There are traces of battles everywhere along the way, because no matter which side wants to advance, it must defeat the demons guarding here.

At this time, the ground under his feet has completely turned black in this crystalline forest, and there are more and more black shadows lingering around. It was a bit difficult for them to move forward. There were more and more black scars on the [Box of Darkness] carried by Tifa, and the four metal amulets were almost torn apart completely.

Fortunately, the Augustus priest's blessing helped Shad see farther, allowing them to avoid most battles. The perception ability of the demons living here is stronger than Shad, so when a few demons find them, Shad and Tifa can only be forced to open the [Dark Box] to avoid~lightnovelpub.net~Although this will make this The risk of losing control of this relic is getting bigger and bigger, but the demons in the crystal forest are no longer what they can deal with. After all, this is the core of the angel-level relic. Even if it can be reached smoothly, the monsters guarding here cannot be solved by a middle-ring warlock and a low-ring warlock.

But even so, they eventually failed to pass through the crystal forest to the center without incident.

It wasn't that he was stopped by a demon, nor was he encountered an unexpected ring warlock. When he was able to pass through the gap of the crystal tree from a distance and saw the spiritual light flickering in the center of the forest, the ground under his feet suddenly shook, and then it seemed that the whole world was screaming.

The sound came from all directions, like the roar of giants in the dark, or the roar of fierce beasts before the epoch, but more like the wailing of terrible evil spirits in the middle of the night.

"Be careful, the situation is wrong, the final blow of the decisive battle has already begun, right?"

Shad and Tifa supported each other, and saw the deep and thick darkness in the surrounding space, rushing towards the center of the crystalline forest like a trickle. And the flow of darkness not only failed to restore the surroundings to normal, but instead made the chaotic whispering elements stronger.

At this moment, the silver moonlight on Shad's body was compressed to the extreme, and the four metal amulets tied around Tifa's waist were all broken. With the sound of crackling, the crystallization of the trees and the surface of the ground began to spread in all directions.

The spreading crystals cling to all the surrounding objects, naturally surrounding the two of them in an instant.

But due to the light on Xia De's body, the dark crystals did not climb onto him. But Tifa's situation was a bit worse. When Shad noticed, Tifa's legs were completely covered by those black crystals, and they were about to spread from his waist to his chest almost immediately.
