Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 434 - 42: You’Er Xia_2

"This..."

"Is this the wedding ritual of Londor?..." Su Ziyu's expression was somewhat incredulous, staring blankly at the corpse in the center of the altar.

Is the ritual of becoming soul mates in Londor truly this unique?

Su Ziyu slowly moved forward, gazing at the corpse with a peculiar circular sword hilt ritual sword inserted in its head. The person's head was covered with a piece of white cloth, and then the ritual sword with the circular hilt was directly plunged into the middle of the head.

Once it's inserted like this, it's certain death!

"The ritual is already complete..." Sister Fried murmured.

The body lying in the center of the altar appeared male, which meant that the newly chosen King of Wandering Souls of Londor was likely still a female.

The purpose of this ritual to become soul mates is to take the Dark Ring from another undead.

By personally stabbing the ritual sword into the partner's head, killing him (or her), and taking the Dark Ring to merge into one's body, the true King of Wandering Souls of Londor is born.

"Should we go find him?" Su Ziyu spoke, "He should be nearby."

"Yes." Sister Fried nodded, "First to Yanorlund, they won't give up seizing the First Flame without devouring Eldritch the God-Eater."

"He is the most crucial Lord of Cinder."

The two left the spacious hall, with Sister Fried glancing back silently at the body in the center of the altar before leaving.

If she hadn't given up.

The one conducting this wedding ritual today would be her.

Outside the hall.

A massive winding staircase came into view; the two climbed upwards as if passing through an invisible barrier, revealing an isolated tower and a grandiose palace above.

"Please don't do this..."

"Stop!..."

A faint female voice came from afar.

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyu frowned slightly and then turned to look at Sister Fried beside him, who also seemed clueless about what was happening, only whispering, "It seems someone is over there!"

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed.

The two hastened their steps, and soon in their line of sight, at the top of a distant tower, appeared a female figure in a black robe. One of her hands held a dagger, and the other was conjuring a flame, which she hurled forward. Behind a wall of the tower stood a tall figure in a pure white woven dress, appearing to be a female with a slender tail protruding from her back.

An invisible dark shadow barrier blocked in front of the tall female, and while blocking the enemy's attack, she, with a slightly young female voice, said, "Please stop!..."

"Since you remember the Dark Moon Ceremony, why attack me?"

This seemed like a living person.

"Chaos Spell!... Is it a witch?..." Sister Fried beside him observed the flame-conjuring female slowly and said, "That one just completed the ritual, an undead."

"The new King of Wandering Souls of Londor."

The spiral elevator seemed to have no path through, but that posed no problem for Su Ziyu, who directly embraced Sister Fried by the waist and flew across with Spiritual Energy.

On the other side.

After constantly blocking several attacks, the tall girl with a dragon tail seemed somewhat angry, conjuring a longsword entirely made of Dark Energy in the palm of her hand. Hidden beneath a white veil, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Another traitor!..."

Rumble.

The response was a blazing hot Chaos Fireball; however, the witch-like ember was indifferent, coldly saying, "Hand over the Holy Bell!"

This was also an embler without fire.

Yet Su Ziyu had never encountered her before, although traces of explosions in certain places could have been left by her.

"You also covet my Holy Bell?"

The tall girl with a dragon tail shook her head without hesitation, "This is a sacred relic left by my father, utterly impossible to hand over to you!"

"To obtain it."

"You must kill me first!"

As the words fell, the witch-like ember on the opposite side stretched her hand, summoning a mass of hovering Fire of Chaos in mid-air, coldly saying, "Then die!"

Flames shot out like sharp arrows.

However, suddenly, Su Ziyu and Sister Fried came flying and surprised both fighting individuals slightly, causing the witch's spell to halt. The witch, her face hidden under a hood, was extremely cautious, retreating slightly while vigilantly watching Su Ziyu, murmuring, "Nameless Lord of Cinder..."

"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly!..."

Instantly, both individuals focused their attention on Su Ziyu.

At this moment, there was a sudden 'bang' sound, as Su Ziyu, flying, seemed to hit something and involuntarily retreated a bit.

"There seems to be an invisible barrier ahead?"

Su Ziyu reached out and felt an invisible barrier. He frowned, navigating around it slightly before gently landing at the top of the tower with Sister Fried.

Now the top of the tower faced a three-way standoff.

The girl with a dragon tail cautiously observed both Su Ziyu and the witch nearby, softly speaking, "It's surprising that this secluded tower has so many outsiders today."

Su Ziyu carefully scrutinized the girl before him.

She has a tail.

Doesn't look human.

Tall stature, likely over three meters tall.

Youthful features.

Shows some dragon characteristics, wearing an exquisite crown, suggesting a high status.

Most importantly, there are no signs of zombification.

And no undead aura.

Although she isn't human, she is the first normal person Su Ziyu has encountered thus far.

It's truly not easy.

Su Ziyu had been in this world for quite some time, and it was his first time seeing a normal living person.

As for the other one.

Not much to say, the smell of the embers of the fire was noticeable from afar, a resurrection of the undead from the ashes of bonfires.

"Who are you?" Su Ziyu curiously asked.

The tall girl looked at Su Ziyu with a slight hint of curiosity, her face covered by a thin veil. She slightly bowed, using her youthful voice to slowly say, "Are you the Lord of Cinder?"

"My name is You'Er Xia."

"Daughter of the Sun King-Gwyn. Leader of the Dark Moon Knight Order."

Divine Race?

Her words made Su Ziyu somewhat startled, but he quickly scanned her appearance up and down again.

No, right?

Sun King-Gwyn wasn't known to have half-dragon offspring?

Wait.

Could it be a child with White Dragon Heath?

Su Ziyu shot Sister Fried a questioning glance, but she shook her head slightly, seemingly unaware of the inside story.

Yet, the girl before him was indeed a Divine Race and a normal one at that, without signs of zombification.

"Why are you here?"

Su Ziyu looked around the isolated tower, entirely secluded, with no apparent way out, outside seemed to have an invisible barrier too. He frowned, asking, "Why is she attacking you?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The half-dragon named You'Er Xia softly replied, "I am imprisoned here by Shalivan."

"As for her."

"Although she knows the Dark Moon Ceremony, she surprised me to steal my Holy Bell."

Holy Bell?

A potent relic, probably?

Su Ziyu turned to the witch not far away, speaking slowly, "Are you the new King of Wandering Souls of Londor?"

"Heh." The witchy ember chuckled lightly, suddenly producing a peculiar bone shard. Then, her figure disappeared amid a ring of flame, leaving only a message: "Nameless Lord of Cinder..."

"We will come for you again!..."

"The embers without fire will not rest nor relent, forever unending..."

Teleportation?

The disappearance happened abruptly.

As Su Ziyu watched the slowly dissipating flames, he furrowed his brows, then slowly said, "Courtesy demands reciprocation."

"I will come for you too."

My little fatty and big fatty are eager and thirsty.

We will undoubtedly surprise each other when we meet again at the Fire Transmission Ritual Site!
