Whispering Verse

"Barton!"

"Joy Barton!"

An extreme sense of crisis surged into Shade's heart, and then everyone saw a skinny black giant wearing a cloak rising from behind Joey Barton.

A huge shadow covered everyone on the ice, and it seemed like the world was completely silent at this moment. No one could see clearly what was inside the cloak, but they could all see the black scythe.

"Is this the true power of Death's Chosen One?"

The huge black scythe slowly swept across the ice. It was obviously so slow, but time seemed to have stopped due to the swing of the scythe. Because he has seen real death, Shade understands that this is a swing that contains the intention of death and termination. As long as any living being is hit, it will immediately enter death.

"Death's Scythe (note)."

Joey Barton was sighing, and dark traces of light swept across everyone on the ice. Just because the scythe touched the ice, it shattered into powder. Huge waves surged, and death would end everything.

"balance!"

And in the black light and shadow, dark golden light rose into the sky. With a golden scale suspended behind her, the furious Iluna threw the golden thunder spear under the night sky.

The shining golden light broke through the lake surface, and the blooming thunder seemed to end everything.

The sunlight gun hit Joey Barton directly, and the latter took a step back and retreated into the narrow white mist that opened up, and the white mist melted the thunder.

"Space stabilizing halo!"

A hand appeared behind Barton, and Shade grabbed his thick right arm:

The deformed boy's face turned to look at Sha De, and his left eye instantly turned completely black to look at Sha De.

[Instant death attack. No, even if you fail the judgment, you will not die. He held back. 】

The sudden feeling of coldness in his soul made Shade freeze in place. Joey Barton stood on the remaining ice, turned around and pulled the clown towards the reopened catwalk. But the dark vortex appeared behind him at this moment:

"Sunshine Gun!"

Using the Chosen One's dark talent, Iluna passed through the vortex with her right hand, and hit Joey Barton's back with the sunlight gun. Shade, who was at close range, was splashed by thunder, but he also saw the golden spear piercing his body.

"this"

The entrance to the narrow room disappeared, taking away the Joker and Barton, whose life and death were unknown. After recovering from the cold feeling of death, Shade looked at the lake again. Only ice shards were floating in the mist, and the sparkling waves in the moonlight witnessed everything just now.

"Definitely not dead. Oops, Iluna!"

Shade, who relied on the spell [Walk on Water] to step on the water, hurriedly ran to the center of the lake. He saw the golden light in the lake, and immediately reached out to the lake and picked up Iluna from the water.

She blocked the [Death Scythe] for her colleagues in the church, and then threw the Sunshine Spear with all her strength, looking very weak.

He took Shade's hand and raised his wet head out of the water. The seventeen-year-old girl coughed a few times, wiped her shoes off under the water without hesitation, then hugged Shade's neck, who was bending over, with both hands, and stood up on Shade's feet.

The golden scale slowly dispersed behind him, and his long brown hair was still dripping with water. Under his wet eyelashes, there was anger in his eyes:

"Oh, I thought he could become a member of the church, but he actually attacked us!"

The golden scale, which represents the power of "balance", blocked most of the power of the "Death Scythe". Several people in the [Truth Society] were wiped out. At this moment, the corpses had sunk into the water, and everyone else in the Church of the Sun fell into a brief coma. , was lifted out of the water by Iluna's control of the water support.

"As long as you're okay."

Shade breathed a sigh of relief and took Mia the cat out of his pocket. The cat looked around. Then Shade took out another towel and handed it to Iluna, who shook her head and didn't take it:

"Joey Barton is definitely not dead, I'm sure of this. Didn't he look normal last time at the Crow Club? Why did he suddenly go crazy? I originally thought he could be our traveler."

Iluna, who was soaked all over, asked through gritted teeth, looking really angry. The water droplets on the hair fell on little Mia's head. The timid cat immediately retracted into Shade's arms, but soon crawled out again, looking up at the dripping hair.

"People always have a lot of ideas. But the good news is that at least this chosen one has not joined the [Truth Society] camp."

Shade, who was standing on the water, helped Iluna stand firm, her white feet stepping on his shoes. The two hugged each other and turned to look at the moon in the distance on the lake:

"The bad news is that Joey Barton went in a different direction than us. Look, our fortune teller friend's plan really went wrong again. The first candidate fled to the narrow room, and I'm afraid what will happen next It’s going to be very troublesome.”

Iluna said softly, the moonlight shining on her face, her tone was inexplicably softer.

"That's just a lamb lost on the road of life. He confused life and death, thinking that he could revive the dead. But he didn't know that resurrecting the dead was not that simple. Even if God allowed it, he would still have to endure thousands of years of mutual torture."

Shade thought of Grace and Helen, and he sighed:

"Tell everything to the church and search for Barton in the narrow room with all your strength. Now, the matter has reached the final step and it should be over. If he really passes through the extremely fragile narrow room and escapes from the real death If you bring back a dead soul, then no matter which channel is used, the collapse of the narrow space may not be stopped by the church's magical rituals. Why are living people always keen on bringing the dead back?"

"Because living people always have too many regrets, just like you saved your priest friend. Next time we meet, I will not let him leave like today."

Iluna gritted her teeth and said:

"Even if he has outstanding talent and can discover this terrifying power without performing the ceremony, in a fair one-on-one fight, he will definitely die."

She was holding Shade's waist just now, and now she is holding Shade's neck and looking into his eyes:

"Detective, just wait and see, I won't let you down this time."

Mingming was usually very shy, but in her angry mood and the moonlight atmosphere at this moment, Iluna Beas took the initiative to kiss Shade.

The girl's lips were also wet. The two of them stood on the silent lake, with the moonlight shining from between the valleys. If there weren't a few unconscious people floating around, this scene would probably be more romantic.

"She clearly still had the energy to keep her colleagues from sinking, so why did she fall into the water instead?"

[You'd better not ask this question. 】

PS: The priest's thaumaturgy is [Deathbringer's Scythe], which summons a weapon. But this [Death Scythe] has the phantom of Death appearing behind it, which is different.
