Chapter 437: D160. Engraved Ti_2
Her heart gradually cooled, accustod to death, accustod to farewells, accustod to maintaining calmness amidst grief and eternal separation. She learned to smile at funerals, to be composed in the face of loss.
But…
“Really, dreaming of things from long ago.”
The Hero opened her eyes, with a tranquil gaze, she watched the world split in two before her.
What lay before her was everything that had succumbed to depravity.
Arcane Surge—simply such a term, far from capturing that world-upending vista.
Like a flood heralding destruction, like a tsunami declaring the end, beneath the wings of the Great Demon, was a world where both the air and soil were saturated with malice, thoroughly twisted.
Dark clouds, corrupted soil, a poisonous atmosphere…
In this hellish world teed Goblins, Black Treants, Magic Wind Elves, Depraved Fla… and those humans and Magic Creatures who had lost their original forms, distorted in posture, who were once kin and even companions.
Before her gaze, there were no kin, no companions, no beings to rely on, only widespread evil, only the twisted form of the Corrupted Phoenix filling the skies and the land.
Under the undeniable malice of half the world, her presence seed so minute.
Yet behind her, the sound of a Long Blade being drawn rang out.
Soone stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with her.
The Hero did not look back, only revealing a slight smile.
Alone, she certainly could not change anything.
Even though she had walked ahead of everyone, stood in front of everyone.
But just like she had Determined to beco a Hero, others relentlessly pursued her steps, trying to chase her, keep up with her, Transcend her.
And now, on this seemingly endless journey, they had finally reached the ultimate starting line.
Behind the Hero stood countless beings brimming with Battle Intent.
Not just Humankind, Snow Woman, Sand Lizardfolk, White Snake…
Demons and Magic Creatures alike, all unwilling for their existence to be twisted, unwilling to fall, have raised their Weapons, bared their fangs, and rallied under the Hero’s banner.
Behind her, there lay verdant adows, azure blue skies, everything she yearned for.
The world was divided at this point, and only one part was destined to remain.
The Hero drew her Longsword, her soaring Magic Power piercing through the dark clouds, charging towards the near-eternal Great Demon.

Fragnts of a broken sword, imbued with imnse Magic Power, streaked across the sky like teors, falling on distant lands, and igniting a few insignificant sparks at the horizon’s edge.
Countless beings looked up, watching this signal of the end.
The Hero still stood high above, Magic Elent was her solid stepping stone in the void, toxic miasma not harming her Mutant organs, not even the Depraved Fla could make her frown, as the distortion within her had long since surpassed this.
Yet, her Magic Power was no longer as high-spirited as it began, her Armor already in shambles, beneath the tattered clothes lay a body covered in scorch marks and dense wounds.
And before her, the Fallen Phoenix spread wings sharp enough to cleave the skies, the Great Demon’s majesty undiminished, its crimson Phoenix Eyes reflecting that tiny existence precisely.

Dusk approached.
The Hero looked towards the gradually sinking Sun, ripples erging in her violet pupils.
The mont the Sun completely sets, the Great Demon’s power will erupt entirely, with the temporary cessation of Resurrection Power, a black Sun will descend here, a vast cataclysm will shroud everything within sight, and ultimately both Degenerators and Resisters will et equal death under the fiery tsunami.
Even if she and a very few others survive, even if the Corrupted Phoenix could not resurrect during the night, they would not have the strength to fight again.
But this was also the only chance.
She would use this colossal force to activate the long-silent giant volcano beneath her feet before destruction befalls on the land.
The Great Demon’s power twisted the world; if the strength of Humankind, of living beings, could not reach it, then seek the world itself for help.
This long-silent giant volcano connected to the core of the stars, that purest fla, untwistable, would beco an eternal prison, incarcerating the Corrupted Phoenix here.
How much unbearable price and sacrifice have they paid, how long have they struggled through despair and darkness, before they found this one and final chance of Vitality?
And up until this mont, in order to grasp this sliver of chance, people were still reducing the few things they had, struggling forward.
The Hero could feel, on the other side of the battlefield, where companions clashed with the Degenerator’s Followers, the sharpness of the Long Blade was gradually shattering, and many familiar spirits began to fade, disappear, and even twist.
But they had not despaired, had not given up.
Because she was still there.
The Hero still stood in front of everyone.
As sunset was imminent, the Corrupted Phoenix no longer held back, unleashing a sweeping blaze, diving towards the Hero.
“…Actually, if possible, I wish for no more such Heroes like to appear.”
But that was unachievable, because this was not the end, she had not put a full stop to all this, pure Fire could imprison the Great Demon but could not kill it.
In the far future, in an era long after they were forgotten, the Fallen Phoenix would eventually return to the light of day.
At that ti, will more mighty ones erge?
Or perhaps, will the civilization of Humankind simply not survive until then, extinguished by other disasters?
Even the most powerful Prophet could not glimpse into that future’s re Scale and Feather.
But if it’s true, humankind will once again face the Great Demon…
“Hopefully, when the ti cos, the one standing here will not be a liar like , but a true Hero.”
Facing the imminent Break the Void, she spread her arms slowly with a hint of bitterness and a hint of nonchalance.
The last ray of the setting sun disappeared over the horizon.
Then, accompanied by the roaring of the earth and the trembling of space, in the catastrophic Magic Power explosion akin to the heavens falling and the earth cracking, the split mountain peaks ejected magma straight into the sky.
Countless rocks turned into thousands of teor-like flas, like fireworks, illuminating the pitch-black sky, swallowing the dark Sun within them.
