Chapter 3835 The Man Waiting for Shad
Shad crushed the glass bottle containing the Philosopher's Stone in his right hand, and the appearance of the Fate Ring caused the unicorns gathered there to cry out in unison. However, even seeing that Shad was about to cast a spell, they did not move away, only refraining from getting too close to Shad because of Xiaomia's presence.

Those "Philosopher's Stones" disappeared as if they had merged into Shad's body. On the way here, he had already taken a small sip from the perfume bottle to replenish his spirit to its maximum value. At his current level of nine rings, he could use the Ascendancy Word to summon twice.

So the phrase "low-level sublimation" was used again, but because the fight below was so lively, very few people noticed the commotion above the cliff.

The soul of the outsider shook space and time, and then used the power of the Philosopher's Stones to perform ultimate magic.

Adele, who was holding the Ring of Nothingness on the battlefield, seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of the Oracle Square. Adele, who had been summoned by Shad since the end of the world, was shocked by the scene before her as soon as she appeared in front of Shad.

What surprised her wasn't the familiar post-apocalyptic environment, but rather that she was surrounded by furry unicorns:
"Don't... don't get so excited! Shad, why are there so many unicorns here?"

She had to push away the unicorns trying to get closer; the demigod-level chairperson of the witch council was quite attractive to them. Then she noticed Ellie; although Ellie was humanoid, Adele still sensed her true race:

"A unicorn that has mastered human shapeshifting?"

Below the cliff lay the battlefield. Adele's demigod-like perception allowed her to immediately understand the situation. She pushed aside the pure white sacred beasts crowding in front of her and hugged Shad. Without exchanging many pleasantries, she asked Shad very seriously:
"I'm also down there in this era. Even if I deliberately hide, she'll immediately realize who I am if a fight really breaks out, right?"

In fact, the two of them had met and communicated many times before, but Adele didn't want Shad to know this.

"It's alright. Rumors about me summoning a demigod witch have been circulating in the material world for a while now. Just don't communicate with her."

After all, during the Battle of Moon Bay, the Adele of the past acted alongside the other great witches, and during the War of Time, she even participated in the final battle.

Adele smiled and nodded:
"Go and complete your task. Leave the rest to me. This environment is so familiar. No, it's still not as good as the non-existent time and space I'm in. This can only be considered the beginning of the apocalypse."

Shad has no worries about Adele from her past life; she is most familiar with her current environment.

"So you're going to continue summoning the demigod witch, right? Here's a suggestion: don't use the Middle Ring Ascendant to summon Anastasia."

"why?"

Shad did indeed intend to summon Luvia next, and Adele's smile at that moment was absolutely genuine:
“We both come from the post-apocalyptic era. If you only summon one of us, it won’t matter; the power we carry from the real post-apocalyptic era won’t have any effect. But if the two of us appear together, that snake will definitely become stronger because of our power.”

She winked at Xia De:
“If you had summoned Anastasia first, she would have told you this too. But thankfully, you chose me from the two options.”

She chuckled in Shad's ear, and Shad knew Adele wouldn't lie about such a serious matter just because she didn't like Luvia:
"It's alright. This time it's different from the War of Time. It's not necessary for Luvia to take action to solve the problem."

Seeing that Shad wasn't worried, Adele smiled and nodded:

“Even without Annat, you still have me. I’ll go downstairs to help out now. Be careful, Shad.”

As she spoke, she patted the unicorns that were still trying to rub against her, then leaped into the air and transformed into golden light, flying towards the battlefield below.

Upon entering the rolling yellow sand, Adele saw the molting serpent battling the ring-bearers. Just as she was about to intervene, she noticed Luvia glance at her sideways, and in that instant, Luvia appeared to have long hair.
"I almost forgot, Anna! You yourself are from this time and space!"

On the Oracle Plaza atop the cliff, the Low Ring Ascension Word was used once more. This time, the invocation drained almost all of Shad's remaining spirit. As he staggered, clutching his forehead and feeling his vision blur, a pair of hands caught him:

"It's been a long time, Shad."

Chloe, with her silver hair, was also surrounded by unicorns. When she saw Shad looking at her, the witch, unable to bear the longing in her heart, gently kissed Shad.

"How do you feel now?"

"Feel much better."

Shad smiled as he looked at her, whom he hadn't seen in so long. After taking a few breaths, he straightened up, while Ellie excitedly tugged at the sleeve of Chloe's beautiful indigo dress.
"Chloe! Long time no see!"

Then Ellie thought about it again. She had seen Chloe in the Upper Spring not long ago, so she changed her words:

"Chloe, you've come to see me again!"

The short but very dignified witch smiled and stroked Ellie's head. They were about the same height, so the scene was a little strange, but Shad wisely didn't point it out.

"Ellie, do you have any help for Shad?"

"Yes, and Shad gave me an apple."

Chloe couldn't stop smiling. She looked up at the dusky yellow sky above and then said to Shad:
“I understand the situation here. I have explored this snow mountain before. You did summon me in the Oracle Square. Oh, I sense that there are two demigod witches here besides me. So I will go and help them.”

She understood what was about to happen, so Shad gently hugged her and said:

"Take these unicorns with you; they probably don't belong here anymore."

Chloe smiled gently:

"this is very simple."

Then, with a stern face, he said to Ellie:

“You haven’t been slacking off since you left the tribe, have you? Ellie, show me your strength.”

Yes, Chloe!

Ellie then presented the white apple, ate it, and a splash of icy blue appeared in her eyes amidst the pure white. The power of Chloe, obtained from "Upper Spring," had raised Ellie's level from sixth to seventh ring, leaving only that violet color in the apple.

However, this time Ellie did not intend to use the low-level Ascension Word again. She transformed herself back into a unicorn in the light. As she raised her horn and cried out, the frost power emanating from Ellie spread throughout the entire plaza, and the fur of all the unicorns in the plaza was also stained with frost.

Although she currently only has seven rings, Ellie shared her frost power with her fellow unicorns by using her own talent, the racial characteristics of unicorns, and the power of her still-developing third ring of destiny.

In addition, the light emanating from the numerous unicorns was interconnected. Although none of the other unicorns besides Ellie possessed a Ring of Fate, their interconnectedness at this moment was equivalent to them all receiving Ellie's protection.

Chloe nodded with slight satisfaction, and Shad then placed the cat on Ellie's back. His next task was more dangerous than facing Mr. Snake, so Shad planned to have Ellie take Mia away.

Surprisingly, the cat didn't object very strongly this time; it just meowed pitifully.

"I'll be fine."

Shad patted the cat's head and then gave Chloe some instructions:

"Then you should be careful too."

The Ice Witch Emperor tiptoed and embraced him again. After seizing the Ring of Fate called "Transcendence" from the void, she led a group of unicorns to the battlefield below the cliff.

Like white blades, they sliced ​​through the dim yellow light, charging headlong into the central battlefield of the ruins. The arrival of another demigod witch further eased the pressure on everyone. The slight power Chloe displayed when she raised her hand to freeze time and space was enough to make Stella, who also used ice and snow powers, feel immensely benefited.

Adele and Violet exchanged glances with Chloe. Adele wasn't very familiar with them, but she clearly noticed that the two demigod witches from different points in time in the Fifth Era had exchanged a look.

The influx of the massive unicorns brought unexpected benefits. Instead of attacking the besieged Mr. Snake directly, they ran rapidly across the sand around the central battlefield, led by Ellie and Little Leona.

The power bestowed by the destiny of 【Innocence】 left a pure white light wherever the unicorns ran, until a pure white ring formed around the central battlefield, like a circle drawn in the rolling yellow sand.

Within this ring, the influence of the apocalyptic forces is minimized, allowing those in the central battlefield to retreat at any time and gain a respite.

Xia De, who was on the cliff, left the square and stood on the edge of the cliff watching the scene below. While worried about the girls, he heard someone behind him ask:

"Are you so eager to fight that snake again?"

Shad turned around and saw a middle-aged man with black hair, dressed in a black suit and leaning on a wooden cane, standing in the center of the Oracle Square looking at him.

The other party appeared without warning; Shad had not sensed their presence at all before they spoke.

He simply stood there, like a new Mount Fatumunst superimposed upon this mountain. The night could not conceal His presence, nor could the wind or the yellow sand approach Him even slightly.

The environment could not affect this figure; rather, it was the appearance of this figure that changed the world.

Thus, in Shad's perception, the battle taking place below the cliff and the dim yellow light spewed by the snakes became as unimportant as the ants at his feet.
