CH 190

Rode didn't think much, but he felt a vague and terrifying tearing sensation deep in his soul, as if an unprecedented superstorm was about to come, tearing his soul apart in the storm.

This is the aftermath of using "Awakening" an infinite number of times, and the excessive use has caused it to occur much earlier.

Rode felt that he was likely to die.

Indeed, using power beyond the limit too frequently would result in serious backlash.

Hmm, I should restrain myself in the future.

Rode immediately used "Awakening" again, and the spiritual energy pouring from the void nourished his depleted soul once again.

Haha.

Since I'm doomed to die, I might as well go crazy and harvest more souls before I die.

After all, I have the "Resurrection Stone".

It would be a waste if I don't fully exploit its value after paying such a high price to create it.

Spiritual energy surged through his body once again, and Rode immediately jumped up and shouted, "The battle is not yet won, everyone needs to keep trying! I'll go first, you guys follow me!"

Just as he was about to rush out, Soren grabbed him by the back of his neck.

"What are you doing?"

Rode turned around and glared at him.

"I warn you, I've been tolerating you for a long time."

Soren raised an eyebrow. "Little guy, have you developed some kind of illusion? What do you want to do?"

"I want to go into battle! Can't you see them fighting with all their might? You're just standing here doing nothing, are you proud of yourself?"

Soren sneered, "I never thought that the War God of Coso would one day be despised by you."

He unsheathed his long sword.

"Let's fight then, who's afraid of who? If you retreat in the face of battle, I'll cut you down with one sword!"

"Stop showing off, you perverted old man. Please move aside and don't delay me from killing monsters."

"Shut up, you little pervert!"

"I'll pervert your grandma..."

The two of them bickered all the way as they charged towards the frontlines and joined the battle.

Qiuqie in Apple Town sighed, "They really are a loving teacher and student."

Qingyu hesitated for a moment. "Your words are strange... Are they always like this?"

Qiuqie hung his axe and hammer back on his back, took out a soul red crystal, and said with a mouthful, "I'm not sure, I'm just a guest lecturer. Soren is the chief instructor of the [Strong] class. But that little guy is indeed quite perverted, always staring at the female group, it seems like he even has a thing with Teresa."

Qingyu's cheeks turned slightly red, her expression complicated, and her slender hand unconsciously stroked the wrinkles on her chest.

Lilyve suddenly burst into tears again, and big teardrops fell like broken beads.

"Wuwuwu, the headmaster is gone..."

The mood of the three of them sank again.

Thalorian lost another towering pillar. His existence had been too long, so long that it was unbelievable, so long that no one knew what it would be like without him.

He had sheltered countless storms for humanity, and this was the last time.

Qingyu said softly, "Don't be sad, the Sun Festival is coming soon, and you will be able to see the headmaster's star."

Qiuqie patted his chest muscles forcefully and said loudly, "That's right! Showing the headmaster the results of our battle is the greatest comfort to him."

This sentence touched her deeply, and Lilyve cried while stuffing a handful of red crystals into her mouth.

Her small cherry-like mouth couldn't fit as many red crystals as Qiuqie, but she still tried her best to stuff them in, puffing up her cheeks. She bit the red crystals hard, swallowed them, and then charged towards the frontlines.

Flames ignited on her, although she couldn't use the Chaos Flame anymore, she could still perform conventional fire attacks.

Qiuqie scratched his head and took down the weapons on his back.

"If Little Lilyve is going, I'll go too!"

He turned around and chased after Lilyve, joining the battle.

Qiuqie couldn't use his ability "Divine Power" anymore, so he didn't rush into the group of monsters and slaughter them like before. He only fought near Lilyve, protecting her safety.

On the other side, Soren did the same. With his exquisite skills, he blocked every danger that could harm Rode, while the latter continuously took out countless Thunderstones and bombarded the group of monsters.

Qingyu had never seen anyone throw a whole bag of Thunderstones like this before.

The power was indeed extraordinary, blasting the monsters into chaos. The Corrupted Serpent people were most afraid of thunder and lightning. A bag of Thunderstones could clear out a large number of them, and even the Demons couldn't withstand such bombardment.

This was indeed an unprecedented way of fighting.

Generally speaking, Thunderstones were used by the city defense army's new recruits to assist in defense battles.

In the veteran stage, almost no one used Thunderstones anymore.

They consumed too much spiritual energy.

Throwing a few Thunderstones would deplete the spiritual energy, not only rendering their special abilities useless, but also making it difficult to continue fighting.

And those who could charge a whole bag of Thunderstones at the same time were at least team leaders or higher-ranking individuals. But at this stage, their own combat power was already strong, so using Thunderstones was a waste of spiritual energy.

Only this little guy in front of them seemed to be suitable for this kind of fighting style.

Qingyu couldn't help but smile.

My future little husband, I'm looking forward to your growth. You must bring me unexpected surprises.

I will squeeze you well.

She stood up and flew towards Jon in the sky, ready to tell him the outcome of the battle.

The Abyss Rift had been destroyed, the leader of the Demons had been killed, and the disturbance caused by the monsters had been eliminated. Only the remnants left in the mortal world remained.The most formidable elite combat group in history was preparing for a counterattack.

A brilliant light flickered in Green Feather's eyes.

Humanity would surely triumph.

Farewell, Lord Theodore.

——

Three hours later, the battle ended.

The human elites, who had already gained an overwhelming advantage, successfully cleared all the abyssal remnants. The corrupted snake people were also killed in disarray, posing no threat.

The Investigation Corps sent a message that the next Black Tide would arrive in two days.

This was undoubtedly good news.

Two days was enough time to rebuild the defense system of Laiso City.

After the battle was essentially over, Green Feather and Jon reignited the Guardian Flame of Laiso City that had been extinguished.

With their "Eternal Flame" trait, they could increase the strength of the Guardian Flame faster, and the elite combat group had brought enough fuel and firewood before they set off.

Soon, the Guardian Flame of Laiso City regained its former strength.

When the powerful flame once again illuminated the city, cheers and the thumping sound of shields echoed through the sky.

This was undoubtedly a huge victory, completely reversing the decline in the third war zone.

The warriors gathered in the broken Fire Guardian Sacrificial Ground, hugging, patting, cheering, and dancing around the Guardian Flame to celebrate their hard-won victory.

In such a lively scene, only one person stood alone outside.

Mephisto.

She had killed all the long nail demons as per Jon's orders, but was driven out of the Fire Guardian Sacrificial Ground by Jon.

"Stand by outside."

That was the only response she got.

No one celebrated with her, nor did anyone thank her.

She stood alone in the ruined city, her boots buried in thick ash, and the shadow of the broken wall gently embraced her.

She looked at the celebrating warriors in the damaged Fire Guardian Sacrificial Ground, watching them laugh about the risks in the battle, wiping each other's wounds from the fight, but didn't notice that someone was sneaking up on her from behind.

"Wow! Got you, Mephisto!"

Rode grabbed her slender waist.

"My good partner, why didn't you reply to my messages? I've been waiting for you so anxiously, ah, you've lost weight, let me see if you've lost weight here too..."

Bang!
