Chapter 3826 Seven Rings Resonance - The Final Strike

The full power of the four complete rings can be used by the fused Shad.

Add to that the Night's Watch's "Hero," the "Redemption" mark that doesn't quite suit him, and the half-circle of "Nobility" on the back of Shad's hand, and he has a total of seven different destinies under his control.

Under the seven destinies, the sense of power expansion is secondary; the most crucial thing is that, at this moment, when facing the giant serpent before him, Shad finally saw the blurry ring inside its body.

This should be the snake's true form. Tear it apart, and the battle will be over.

Can you integrate more people?

The snake actually asked Xia De a question. When the enormous snake spoke, it caused vibrations not only in the air, but also in the spirit and elements.

Shad couldn't merge with more people for the time being. [Clock Tower Lovers] could generally only merge with one girl with a sufficiently strong soul at a time; the chosen one of the Butterfly Wings and "March" in the woods were special cases. The snake, of course, understood this, and thus, as the giant snake head prepared to attack, it couldn't help but sigh:
"That's a real shame—hoo!"

Black light surged toward Shad, but this time Shad didn't even dodge. The four flying rings flew straight forward, and then, with just these four rings of fate, he blocked the serpent's destructive breath.

So the other ring sorcerers, who were originally suppressed by the illusion, continued to attack the snake's shadow and the monsters. Vanessa and Sylvie also wanted to join in, but Adele stopped them.

The blonde witch pointed towards the ocean. Although the Chosen Ones of Light were on that battlefield, and Dr. Schneider, Claire, and the Church's reserve forces in the city were still there, the battle in the ocean was not going to be optimistic without Shad and Iluna.

Vanessa and Sylvie exchanged a glance, and in the end, Sylvie, who was more skilled in naval warfare, flew over there with Megan, while Vanessa, Galina, and Flora stayed behind.

"Go check on Sylvia. Whatever tricks she's up to in her tower, let's not wait any longer."

Adele then spoke, and Flora turned into an owl and flew away into the distance.

"What is Bella doing? Aren't you going to help?"

Adele then asked Galina, and the Duchess, of course, knew that Luvia was in charge of the ship, and Luvia certainly had her own opinions.

Galina then gave a vague explanation:

"Bella probably feels that she's not needed here for the time being."

Knowing that the person in front of her was the "culprit" behind the current situation in the council, Adele rolled her eyes at her but didn't say anything more:
"Come on, let me see what skills you've mastered in the year since you advanced to the twelfth rank."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker."

The layered rings cleaved through the black light, and then Shad raised "Hope" in his left hand. As the rings spun in his palm, they transformed into a silver "moonlight wheel." The wheel, a hundred meters in diameter, was imbued with the color of destiny, and then Shad threw it toward the snake's head.

This ability to combine the "Ring of Fate" with magical techniques and transform it into weapons was something that Shad only fully mastered at this point.

Even snakes wouldn't dare to take this attack head-on. Two dark figures beside them transformed into equally enormous snake shadows, withstanding the attacks of the ring sorcerers and standing in front of the Wheel of Destiny, carrying sand and dust. The wheel scraped and cut through the two snake shadows with a piercing sound. The interior of the snake shadows was illusory, but upon closer inspection, one could see the landscape of rolling yellow sand flowing within them.

Then, the second golden halo, centered on the Ring of Miracles, was thrown out by Shad, and the two halo together severed the two enormous snake shadows.

Then the [Hope] halo was bitten by the snake, while the [Miracle] halo struck the giant snake's forehead. With a screeching sound, the halo left golden scratches on the snake's scales before being deflected by the snake's powerful swing.

The two rings flew back to Shad's side, and half of the snake's teeth were shattered, with golden cracks covering its forehead. These, along with the still-present white scars, proved that mortal power was indeed capable of harming the snake's true form.

The giant serpent clearly sensed a deadly threat. The black mist that had been flowing between its scales reversed and surged towards its head. The yellow sand that had been spreading above the ruins also roared and gathered, condensing into dozens of sand shields ten meters high in front of the serpent's head.

Shad did not use the light wheel again. Instead, he raised the crimson lightning spear in his left hand and hurled it forward. The sand shield blocked the lightning and then suddenly moved aside. The snake head spat out a black lightning bolt from behind, which struck Shad, who was following the lightning bolt.

[Resurrection]'s fate transformed into a white light shield that blocked the black lightning. Xia De knew that the snake was seeking to shed its skin, and at this moment the snake's power was already at a disadvantage, so he did not want to let the other party delay.

As Stella, riding Little Leona, Emilia, Ellie in her unicorn form, Adele, and even Miss Eden in her angel form gathered around to help, Shad used their delaying tactics to grip the hilt of the Night Watchman sword with both hands, preparing for the final blow.

Four rings, a mark of redemption, a half-circle of purple "nobility," and finally, the longsword itself bursts into light. Amidst the resonance of seven destinies, Shad's figure soars into the sky; not only does the longsword he holds aloft transform into crimson lightning, but red arcs of electricity also leap across his body.

The body falls downwards:

"Moonlight Slash!"

The silver-red moonlight cross fell downwards.

"A Falling Star Strike!"

The wind pressure when the seven-colored meteor fell was so high that even the snake's head could not straighten.

"Sunshine Gun!"

Boom!

Thunder roared across the night sky, followed by a continuous rumble that even frightened little Leona.

Even without looking up, one can feel the power of the crimson lightning in the night sky; the lightning seems to illuminate the entire night in red.

The bolt of lightning sounded like a god's roar. Not only on Fatumunst Island, but also in many places along the southern coast of the Old Continent, the clear thunder could be heard. If it weren't for the thick fog surrounding the bay, people on the Old Continent coast could even see the crimson lightning bolt striking the top of the snow-capped mountain.

This bolt of lightning was the final strike formed by Shad's true form and the seven destinies. The destinies that were shaken when the lightning exploded were no less impactful than the impact of the destinies' clash. Even the power of "severing destiny" that Iluna vaguely sensed was used by Shad in it.

The lightning spear was hurled at the huge cave from which the snake's head emerged, but what was actually visible to the naked eye was a crimson beam of light falling from the night sky.

The snake scales that first came into contact with the lightning were reduced to dust. The dim, apocalyptic light was dispelled by the crimson, and every inch of the snake's bones and blood evaporated under the lightning. Even the terrifying black light and shadow exposed after the snake's shell was crushed could not survive this blow.

After crushing the giant serpent, the bolt of lightning entered the large hole that had opened up in the ruins. The subsequent loud noise emanating from the mountain sounded like the earth wailing.

Every crack, crevice, and cave in the mountain that had been emanating a dim yellow light was now bursting with crimson lightning. Even Winnie, who was maintaining the stability of the mountain, complained a little that Shad had used too much force this time.

Although Mount Fatumunst trembled violently again due to this blow, it did not completely collapse.

The rumbling thunder lingered in the night sky for a long time, and the thunder echoed continuously through the mountains. Countless people in the town and the City of Time were so frightened by the thunder that they fainted.

Not only Mount Fatumunster, but even the snake head in the ocean emitted crimson lightning in the next second, and its entire body was melted by the crimson lightning.

And when the astonishing thunderclap subsided, the buzzing in my ears lingered for a long time. Even though the wind and snow were still swirling, the world seemed to fall silent all at once.

Although the entrance to the ruins still emitted a dim yellow light, the giant serpent had vanished without a trace. Red arcs of electricity still crackled on the snow-covered surface of the ruins, and the monsters summoned by the serpent had been completely wiped out by the aftershocks of that attack.

People saw the figure of the "Caller of Gods" fly out of the giant pit, then its body flickered twice before splitting into the Caller of Gods' main body and the Chosen One, Iluna, who provided balance.

Both of them looked breathless. Using the fusion of the maze was already extremely taxing, and the final blow that slammed into the mountain had taken a heavy toll.

Fortunately, Shad was certain the snake was completely killed, and the evidence lay in the black ring they both held in their hands—

"what?"

Shad's expression changed drastically as he looked at the ring, and Iluna, who was nearby, clearly heard what he said:
"The Ring of Fate of Destruction? Why isn't it the end of the world?"

On the deck of the Radiant Messenger, Miss Eliza frowned deeply as she looked at the ruins. Bella was about to say something when Luvia suddenly turned to look at Adelina.

The little princess had come out to watch the excitement, and knowing her own limitations, she only dared to stand at the back. When Luvia glanced at her, she whispered, "..."

"What's wrong?"

"Adelina, if we need you now, would you be willing to temporarily hold off Mr. Snake?"

".What?"

The little princess seemed a bit bewildered, but she was no longer the sixteen-year-old Adelina she had been two years ago.

"If you need me, I'm willing."

"Luvia".

Bella frowned, as if about to say something, but Luvia spoke to her instead:
"Go to the tower and inform Sylvia to begin the transfer. Tonight's drama has finally reached its climax. Bella, you stay on the ship and don't leave. Adelina and I will be right back."

In that instant, Bella clearly saw that the person speaking to her was Luvia with long hair.

Boom!

The thunder echoing from underground was drowned out by another loud bang, a sound that seemed to come from the very bottom of the world, not from the foot of the mountain.

Before the people on the battlefield, still reeling from Xia De's attack, could react, billowing yellow sand overflowed from the enormous cavern, and no one saw what happened in that instant.

Even the most perceptive ring mages only saw a flash of black light before the Summoner, Iluna, the Archel Emilia, and the Chosen One with the butterfly wings were all blasted off the battlefield and vanished in an instant.
