Chapter 524 Necklace Amulet and Horse
"You can't rely too much on [Dark Box], the gap between the two is It's too big, [Darkness Domain] has been corroded by [Darkness Domain]. Shade, look at these marks."

Tifa pointed to the black stains on the brass gear box:
"This is the appearance of corrosion Performance. Fortunately, as long as the box is not opened, the corrosive effect of Darkness Domain on it is almost negligible, so we can take it with us as a safety guarantee on the road. But if it is not necessary, you better not let it get out of control, it will Seriously accelerated corrosion."

"What would happen if [Darkness Domain] was corroded by [Darkness Domain]?"

Shade curiously asked, but Tifa couldn't answer , but Luvia gave the answer:

"This is a very rare phenomenon of fusion between relics. The same type of relics are similar in function, in close contact and the power of one party is much stronger than On the other side, the weaker will be absorbed by the stronger, as if water melts into the sea. But this is very rare, extremely rare."

Awakening people looked towards her , this is the first time everyone has heard of such a thing.

"So it is"

Shade thought about it:
"Tifa, in that case, you're carrying it. I wouldn't use it if it wasn't necessary. Out of control effect."

【Light】spirit rune is to kill the demons in the Darkness Domain, but since the maid is by his side, Shade has no need to destroy them on his own.

"Okay, do you still need a break?"

Tifa asked again.

"No need, we're running out of time, we'll go right away."

Shade said, standing behind Mr. Riddle watching the cards, having had enough time to rest.

"Luvia, stay here and wait for my good news."

Shade said to the female fortune teller again, shaking the cork-stopped glass vial. This is the core ceremony material of the ceremony that seals the demon that Luvia found, and he is saying that he is fine.

All he has to do is witness how the second chosen person ends up, only after the Church, Demoness and other strange ring warlock organizations all miss, Darkness not only completes ceremony but also In the case of possible escape, Shade himself needs to do it.

But compared to dozens of other possibilities, this probability has the lowest probability, so Shade is not worried about the rest of the journey, he thinks all he has to do is look and bring the results back .

"I'm here waiting for you. This time, I have to face it myself again. This is for you, this is an alchemy item I made myself, which can bring some luck to the master."

She took off a silver necklace from her neck. The pendant at the end of the necklace contained pictures of her deceased parents. Every time Shade sees Luvia, she wears this necklace. It's not just an alchemy item, it's her most precious personal jewelry:
"Relax, I've always had better luck than a doctor."

Shade put the necklace away, Luvia nodded , There seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes to express, but in the end he just took off the four cracked metal talismans on his body and handed them to Tifa. Shade is basically unaffected in [Darkness Domain], but even if Tifa is a sixth ring, she will definitely be affected by Angel-level relics.

The maid clung to the talisman nodded:
"I will protect Shade."

Tifa arranged who would be in charge after she left the manor The question of presiding over the situation, and then together with Shade, each carried a metal box and left the master bedroom on the third floor.

Sure enough, when the two came to the corridor shrouded in darkness, Tifa staggered and almost didn't stand still, but because her level was much higher than Luvia, and she had the power of Demonness, so After getting used to it, it seems to be fine.

As for Shade, the effects of the strange blessing given by Augustus priest are still in effect. Although this effect is impossible to last forever, as long as there is no significant drain on the power of the blessing, the Priest's blessing is enough to allow Shade to travel through the Darkness Domain.

They did not leave the manor directly, but went to the stables on the side of the manor under the guidance of Tifa.

The horses in the stables are all ordinary creatures, and of course they all fall into a stupor. Probably because their intelligence is lower, their mind and Soul Power are weaker, so even one of them has been dissolved by darkness and turned into a strange one-eyed "secret servant", which was then eliminated by Tifa.

The maid has the spirit rune of 【Light】, but when she encountered the secret servant at the ophthalmologist last time, neither of them knew that 【Light】can kill this kind of demon, so she didn't take action at that time. .

Not coming to the stable to wake up the horses, Tifa asked for a knife from Shade to cut some manes from one red pony that had passed out, and from another unusually tall The tail was cut off from the black horse, and the rusty horseshoe and some horse bones were finally found in the stable.

After drawing a circular ceremony formation made of tadpoles on the ground with chalk, Tifa placed four items in the center of the densely packed tadpoles, in the four square spaces deliberately left.

She cut her fingers and dropped a drop of blood on the center of the ceremony formation, then clasped her hands together and clenched her fists, lowered her head and closed her eyes and chanted the incantation in a low voice. The Darkness Domain devours the rays of light that ceremony produces, but cannot devour the skeletal horses emerging from the billowing black mist.

"Oh~"

Shade looked at this thing with a sigh, this is a pure undead creature, and the blue flame in the eyes is the flame of the soul.

"Let's go."

Tifa found saddles, bits, reins and other equipment to hang on the undead horse, and hung the box she was carrying on the side of the horse .

"I thought that this kind of summon would have things like saddles ready when it appeared."

"The items on the undead are not part of the undead."

Tifa said, reaching out and stroking the horse's skull a few times:
"Shade, can you ride a horse?"

The maid asked again.

“Of course not,” says Shade.

Shade.

"Alright then, I'll ride a horse."

She flipped onto the horse's back lightly, but because she was wearing a skirt, she was sitting sideways. To Shade beckons with the hand, he motioned for Shade to come up too, but Shade hesitated for a moment:
"How should I get on the horse?"

So Tifa could only pull him up and let Shade's He wrapped his arms around her waist to prevent him from falling.

"Wait a minute!"

Before Tifa was ready to go on the reins, Shade reached into his pockets again, first taking out the vial containing the bright yellow eye drops:

"Remember this, right? Put some in your eyes to widen your field of vision."

Then he added the original description of Mystic Art - Breath of Time【Youth is not old. Ye] handed it to her:
"You take this to prevent accidents."

"This is."

The lady maid looked at Shade's glowing palm, as if also Green leaves infested by silver moonlight.

"Youth leaves of immortality."

"What?"

She apparently knew this kind of relic, too.

"Let's go, I'll lend it to you for the time being in case something unexpected happens."

Shade shoved the leaf to her, and Tifa gave her a soft "um". After getting ready, the skeleton horse rushed out of the stable with the two of them, rushed out of the manor along the central axis of the courtyard, and ran towards the southeastern suburbs of the city.

This undead horse, called by Tifa borrowing ceremony, runs faster than normal horses. Although the undead itself will also be dissolved by this silent darkness, because the Shade on his back has been glowing, dispelling the surrounding darkness, so the undead, like Tifa, are slightly weakened by the Darkness Domain when they are in close contact with Shade. influence level.

Because they know their destination and terrain, they can choose the nearest road even if the surrounding visibility is extremely poor. Passing through uninhabited villages, through dark and empty farmland, as you gradually approach the Core Zone of the Darkness Domain, the black shadows that represent the "past" are swimming around, and the hidden servants who occasionally attack from the dark are also increasingly dense.

At first, the two people on the skeleton horse could still rely on Tifa's power to fight back, but as the demon's power became stronger and stronger, they had to open the [Dark Box] ], and let another darkness envelope them.

This was very effective, not only making the relic's impact on the two more apparent, but the Hidden Servants as if they couldn't see them at all.

It was just hung on the dark box on the side of the skeleton horse, and more and more black marks gradually covered the original brass color. And as they got closer to the central area, the black traces spread faster and faster.

Obviously, they couldn't rely on this relic to stay safe forever.

If the edge of the Darkness Domain is just a sleepy and silent area in the dark, then as the two go deeper, various terrifying illusions, real demons and past phantoms, become more and more getting denser.

This darkness can not only melt the sleeping person, but also bewitch and frighten the awake intruder. And once the mood is affected, it is not far from entering a deep sleep.

Not far from the word "core" with Miss Galina's handwriting on the map, they finally encountered the church's ring warlock squad in the dark. It's just that the darkness seriously obstructed the line of sight. When Shade found each other, the other party didn't notice the two people on the skeleton horse at all.

Shade relied on the rays of light on his body and the [God's Gift Box] on his back to dispel the darkness, while the twelve-person squad from the Church of Peace relied on a luminous holy emblem. The holy emblem is not a relic, but an ordinary dive technique item, but because the true god [Peace and Loving Father] really exists, this dive technique item can actually directly bless the twelve-person squad to move freely in the dark.

Shade told Tifa what was going on ahead, and both of them thought there was no need to meet the church team, so they took a detour and left. On the way that followed, they encountered more and more church ring warlocks.

As estimated by Shade, although the [Darkness Domain] is out of control, the church still controls the basic situation. If he is lucky, he only needs to witness Darkness being captured or killed by the church, and the last adventure of the end of summer will really end.
