anwhile, as the temple was being destroyed, the Aether Dragon fighting Luo En in the sky was as if struck by lightning, their radiance of divinity rapidly diminishing.
Seizing this opportunity, Luo En's eyes flashed dangerously, he leaned back at the waist, his body like a giant bow drawn to its limit, and the spear in his hand was the arrow on the bowstring.
The next mont, a crimson light pierced the sky, shooting into the Aether Dragon's chest with the speed of thunder too fast to cover one's ears, hitting the dark red heart that beat within its ribcage directly.
With its core severely damaged, the Aether Dragon let out a pitiful roar. Its body, made of flesh, stones, and bones, quickly disintegrated, and its massive form fell uncontrollably towards the ground.
Above the rift, the already crumbling Temple of Typhon was directly hit by the falling dragon, instantly collapsing with dense debris and bones shooting out violently in all directions like a sudden teor shower.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Amidst the dust and successive explosions, a petite figure clutching the Mingyue scepter weaved frantically through the falling debris, attempting to escape from the collapsing temple.
However, due to the constant battles and headlong rush, her magic power and physical strength were nearly exhausted. A misstep sent her reeling towards the abyss.
Seeing a massive stone falling toward her, dea closed her eyes in terror, resigned to her fate.
"Bang!"
Just then, a dull thunderclap sounded above, the falling boulder was shattered with a single blow, and a figure enveloped in golden light darted between the stones, as fast as lightning.
And the mont his searching gaze locked onto dea, he stamped fiercely on a piece of debris beneath him, using the recoil to accelerate his descent, and his opened arms firmly caught the little enchantress who had closed her eyes in resignation.
dea hesitantly opened her eyes and, seeing the familiar face in front of her, threw her arms around his neck with a surge of emotion and cried out,
"Senior brother!"
"Mmph, hold on tight... "
Luo En mumbled vaguely, and imdiately, a pair of golden wings of light opened behind him. Carrying the two of them, he soared into the sky, nimbly avoiding the falling debris above and landed steadily at the edge of the rift.
As they made their escape, dea sheepishly let go and only then noticed the dense web of light cracks that had spread from Luo En's arms to his neck, making him look like a beautiful piece of porcelain about to shatter.
It was then that the girl realized the cause of his earlier muffled syllable.
Probably, it was because of the pain...
"Shh!"
Luo En placed his index finger in front of his lips and made a silent gesture.
dea nodded in understanding, quietly jumped down from Luo En's embrace, and stood obediently behind her senior brother, not ntioning what she had just seen.
At this ti, on the battlefield,
With the fall of the Aether Dragon and the collapse of the Temple of Typhon, the magic beasts driven by the Authority of Typhon were thrown into chaos. Without the temple's support, their combat and endurance fell even further.
The Subjugators took this chance to rally spontaneously, utilizing the synergy between their troops to gain a tactical advantage and gradually turn the tides of battle. They began thodically clearing out the magic beasts that were still stubbornly resisting.
Just as Luo En was about to breathe a sigh of relief at the situation coming under control, his pupils suddenly contracted, his gaze fixated on a bronze spear stuck in a tree trunk a hundred ters away.
No, where's the corps? Where's Hippones?
Instantly, a thunderclap exploded in Luo En's mind, and his expression froze.
He's not dead yet!
~~
Rustle, rustle...
Through the misty tangled underbrush, a wretched figure dashed at extre speed, clutching his flesh-and-blood pulsating chest, stumbling out of the vast mountains of Arcadia.
Due to the haste, the white robe under his armor was torn by the slanting vines along the way, hanging in tatters, the once graceful composure utterly gone.
Activating the Extre Speed talent of his Hers bloodline, Hippones didn't dare stop until he was a hundred miles away, casting a fearful glance behind him.
That was close!
Even the awakened head of Typhon was no match for that guy; he's too terrifying!
The thought of the mont he was impaled by the spear, nailed to the tree, sent chills down Hippones' spine, and a phantom pain throbbed in his healed chest and heart.
Yes, he had truly died once.
But thankfully, sothing he had prepared in advance had saved his life.
Hippones opened his palm to look at the egg-sized, dull red Chip filled with cracks, his eyes filled with fright and relief.
—The Eleusis Stone, a substance extracted from life, granting the power of resurrection to its user.
The powder scraped from it was the "dicine" the King had taken.
Seeking Immortality has always been the ultimate goal and eternal topic of the Eleusis Esoteric Teachings; they had striven for it tirelessly but could never find the way.
Yet, this miracle had occurred in the hands of a heretic, an irony indeed.
What's even more hilarious is that those fools of the Eleusis Esoteric Teachings praise life in every breath, but little do they know, the price of stepping into eternity is the desecration of life!
