Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 1210: Chapter 560: The Key (2)

Every thread of life magic power flows through;

And their seamless cooperation is like vital notes in the grand symphony of the universe, composing the final Chapter of hope for the Star Pupil Race!

Finally, after multiple forces converged, within the "Divine Remains Crystal," a clear and brilliant newborn vortex of pure chaos energy began to form.

As the "Divine Remains Crystal" slowly absorbed and purified the pure chaos energy, the oppressive air seemed to lessen slightly, and the cold abyssal aura was gradually dispersed.

The faces of the people showed slight relaxation, fatigue mingled with hope, yet behind this moment of peace, a long-hidden crisis quietly emerged.

Liliana stood beside the altar, her silver-white hair fluttering in the breeze, yet her gaze began to gradually become confused.

The once unwavering gaze revealed a hint of struggle and fear, as if an invisible darkness was stirring deep in her soul.

She tightly gripped her ice mirror shield, but her hands trembled faintly, the cold, hard surface of the shield reflecting the turbulent waves within her heart.

"Hiss..."

Suddenly, a deep and eerie voice seemed to come from the depths of a fissure, like countless decaying souls whispering in the dark.

This voice entwined, tangled at the edge of Liliana’s consciousness, slithering like a venomous snake into the softest parts of her heart.

It was the remnants of the abyssal imprint’s influence—since being chosen as a test subject, this ancient imprint, slumbering within her bones, had started to awaken silently, ceaselessly siphoning off the energy waves during the purification process, spreading its dark will into every sinew and vein.

Liliana’s face turned suddenly ashen, she clenched her fists fiercely, her temples pulsing, sweat pouring over her body.

The surrounding air seemed to solidify into a heavy shadow encasing her within.

Suddenly, she jerked her head, those once gentle and resolute eyes now cold as ice blades, flickering with an eerie red light.

"David..."

The voice was hoarse and chillingly cold, "You... must die."

Everyone was stunned into silence; they could only see the warrior who once stood firm and unyielding, willing to sacrifice her life to protect her people, suddenly change in appearance, the murderous intent in her gaze cutting into their souls like a knife, tearing at everyone’s deepest core.

Amy reacted the quickest, sensing the unusual fluctuation clearly stemming from the imprint’s psychic lure, "We can’t let her harm David!"

She hurriedly chanted a freezing spell, a pure blue-white glow quickly spread from her palm, covering Liliana like the first snow of winter, temporarily sealing off the fire of her soul.

However, even though the freezing magic temporarily suppressed the chaotic consciousness, the imprint had already sunk deep into her core—corroding to the heart.

A type of barely detectable yet deadly corrosion rapidly spread, causing life power to wither and decay as if bitten by a snake.

Reina immediately pulled up the resonance instrument’s monitoring data, "Soul freezing successful, but heart strain is rapidly increasing! If measures aren’t taken immediately, the backlash will tear apart the entire life system!"

Her face was grave, solid as iron, "Everyone must work together, at all costs to stabilize the situation!"

Zelros stood at the forefront, gripping his sword, his brows furrowed as he looked towards the center of the battlefield, where a hero was teetering on the edge of struggle and fall.

"We cannot lose her! We must protect everyone!"

David stepped forward, his gaze complex and unfathomable, meeting the eyes of the frozen companion for a moment, only to see the red ghostly flame still burning in her vertical pupils. He spoke softly, "I will not let the darkness devour you, nor let it harm any of our people."

Once again, the air thickened into an extreme stillness, the earth itself seemed to hold its breath, awaiting the progression of this life-and-death duel.

Amy gently stroked the surface of the frozen layer, constantly reinforcing the mental shield to ward off the increasingly intense negative emotions;

Reina focused on deciphering the complex patterns and rune laws of the resonance instrument, striving to find the secret technique to counteract the imprint’s backlash;

Zelros and the other warriors stood ready, maintaining high vigilance against any potential conflicts on the periphery.

Time seemed stretched, each minute and second so lengthy and filled with danger, as the ghostly blue dismantled the chaos energy slowly flowing through space, their eyes full of determination and responsibility.

They knew this was not just a confrontation against demons and fate itself, but the final line of defense for the Star Pupil Race, an insurmountable threshold for protecting the future of their people!

Gradually, with their efforts, faint stable signal curves appeared on the resonance instrument.

But at the same time, the imprint lurking within for so long also began to frantically struggle, the shadowy ghostly blue aura it released becoming an unshakable nightmare, each ripple like a blade slicing through the soul, causing unbearable pain to everyone, yet they could only grit their teeth and endure!

Amy’s tears had not yet dried between her brows, but she still put all her strength into infusing healing magic power, building mental barriers for her friend, endlessly murmuring, "Hold on, we will find a solution, you are not alone."

The cold wind around the altar howled again, snow fluttering and drenching their armor and skin, but they did not retreat in the slightest, only leaving each other’s firm belief, in this Far North wilderness, forging an eternal legend of the Star Pupil Race with their flesh and blood...

The night descended, and the ghostly blue runes flickered faintly on the shattered bone altar, gentle like stars yet untouchable.

David slowly backed away from the edge of the altar, his gaze like a torch, staring at the gradually calming space.

The remnants of abyssal chaos lingered in the air, every breath laced with oppression, as if the unseen darkness is watching closely, ready to spring at any moment.

His companions beside him were busy protecting Liliana, engulfed in crisis by the imprint’s erosion, and he knew that the methods on hand were far from enough to save her.

"Purification Stone... only that thing can completely cleanse the imprint residues."

Reina’s voice echoed in his ears, she had just drawn this conclusion after overnight studies, and this mysterious stone with immense purification powers was said to be hidden in the deepest part of the rift—a place surrounded by countless unknown dangers, where few dared to venture.

David steadied himself, the blue flame in his eyes grew fiercer.

He tightened his grip on the sword hilt, stepping firmly towards the lower layer of the rift.

The wind and snow felt like a thousand ice needles piercing his skin, but he held no fear, each step pounding out a firm and powerful rhythm.

He understood that this mission was extremely dangerous, but without finding the Purification Stone, all would be lost.

At the rift’s entrance, a ghostly blue curtain shimmered with strange ripples, the fragile barrier between abyss and reality.

He took a deep breath and plunged into the crevice.

What greeted him was a strong wave of unstable energy, causing his bones and muscles to seem to quiver slightly.

But David did not pause, deftly weaving through the warping void like a ghost, slipping into the dark abyss.

Upon entering the lower layer, he immediately felt the temperature plummet, bizarre shadows coiled around him, as if thousands of eyes were watching his every move.

The ground displayed spiderweb-like cracks, countless tiny fragments floated mid-air, as if ready to collapse at any moment.

Distorted roars emanated from afar, the angry and foraging sounds of writhing worms stirred up.

He peered carefully ahead, seeing gigantic twisted worms, their surfaces covered in chitin and mucus, crawling slowly like a nightmare, constantly using their tendrils to gnaw at the spatial structure, further chipping away the already battered ground.

Each giant claw crashed down, raising gravel and fragments in a splatter, like a small-scale collapse shaking the air around.

David gripped his sword tightly, knowing these creatures were not only ferocious but also capable of disrupting spatial structures, making them one of the deadliest threats within this rift.

His steps were light yet firm, with every swirl of blue flames around his blade, the combination of ice and fire became the perfect weapon to burn and freeze the enemy’s body in an instant.

Yet even so, under this endless darkness, he must remain supremely vigilant, for these worm swarms could quickly conceal and ambush using the spatial fragments, making defense practically impossible.
