The hazy light gradually flowed, vibrated, and burned within my field of vision...
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a familiar voice called out in her ear.
Somewhat distant, yet incredibly close, her eyes slowly opened, revealing cherry-pink pupils, gazing blankly at the pale, boundless sky.
Immediately afterwards, a soft little head peeked out from the horizon and called out to him excitedly.
"Aww!"
"Mi... Lady Mia?" Kleinna gradually woke up, her eyes blinking with confusion and disbelief.
The next moment, her eyes blurred again. Ignoring everything, she supported her still weak body and hugged the young demon in front of her tightly!
“Thank goodness…you’re alright…thank goodness, Lady Mia…” Sobs escaped from Kletina’s wet face.
She held tightly to the warm, real feeling inside her body, unwilling to separate from it for even a moment longer.
"W-Where is this…" Kletina looked around blankly at the scene of devastation. The land of the Demon Realm seemed to have suffered the most severe damage, and the air still held an aura of destruction and despair.
But the next moment, a gentle breeze swept by, and the suffocating smell vanished as if it were an illusion.
The air was filled with only a faint, vibrant scent of morning dew.
Following the air currents and scents, Kletina turned her head in a daze and saw a familiar, unremarkable figure on the empty ground:
The brave one who created miracles stands at the very center of the world—
……
……
……
The Kingdom of Kur.
King's capital.
The extinguishing of the round table projection brought a long silence to the human kingdom. Sorrow and regret spread throughout the entire country. At this moment, countless citizens remained in front of the screen, no longer to pursue the truth, but to mourn and pay tribute.
It is the strongest spine in humankind.
For their greatest hero—
On the city wall, slowly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Ota knew that now was far from the time to be depressed, but rather the time for all the people of the territory to unite and cheer up in order to face the greatest crisis humanity had ever faced.
The live broadcast showed Ota's resolute face as he stepped forward, about to tell every citizen about the disaster that had befallen the entire country.
At his waist, urgent messages from all over the kingdom kept vibrating!
"What's going on..." Ota's expression changed: "Could it be that an even more terrible situation has occurred?!"
"No, no... Your Highness."
Behind him, Minister Tus's hands trembled violently.
Looking at the brief message from the investigation team on the front lines, a bright light suddenly shone in his eyes. He abruptly turned his head and looked at Ota with an excited tone:
"Your Highness Ota, just now, a strange power spread across the entire continent... The famine has subsided, crops have regained their vitality, and that corrupting power that humanity could not contain has been completely eradicated!"
Tears welled in Tus's eyes, revealing a heartfelt hope as if he had survived a catastrophe:
"A miracle... has truly occurred!!!"
Chapter 356 [Beyond Limits, One Strike, Rakshasa!]
Inside the palace courtyard.
A pure and lovely girl stands among the flowers.
Her long, flowing blonde hair cascaded down her fair back as she gazed up at the sun in the sky, which was slowly obscured by layers of dark clouds.
A somber and somewhat gloomy hue enveloped the courtyard, and among the flowers, rustling sounds fell like dust.
The withered flowers crumbled into ashes, the earth cracked so dry that not a drop of moisture could be squeezed out, and the entire courtyard was devoid of any floral fragrance.
Kalia's pure eyes stared blankly at the dark clouds, a faint sadness and helplessness welling up deep within them.
"Ever since Brother Mino was captured by the demons, the turmoil within the kingdom has only worsened... Now, even the uncontrollable famine has reached this point..."
"What will happen next?"
Kalia closed her eyes, as if she could see famine, turmoil, and death about to break out in the country. Her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, and the scene before her eyes turned into a deep darkness, making her afraid to open her eyes, for fear that the next moment would become reality.
But Kalia knew that she had to open her eyes and face and bear the disaster that lay before her.
“Brother Mino…your will will be inherited by Lia…” Kalia murmured, gazing at the flowerbed.
"No matter how small my strength is, I will do everything in my power to protect my people and my kingdom, just like you."
An invisible current suddenly surged in the air.
A gentle breeze swept through the courtyard. Kalia covered her slightly thin dress, but felt a warmth, hope, and an incredibly familiar sensation in the wind.
"Brother Mino..."
Kalia subconsciously looked up at the sky, recalling the warm feeling like the sun.
The next moment, she froze.
Where the sun had been previously obscured, the thick clouds had somehow dispersed, seemingly vanishing with the gentle breeze, and bright light was once again shining down.
However, the sun no longer appeared in the sky; instead, a soft, silvery glow bathed us.
A bright moon shone like never before in the depths of my pupils.
Kalia's gaze suddenly became unfocused.
A faint glow surged from the depths of her body, and endless moonlight poured down from the sky, clinging to her smooth golden hair, turning it into a pure white like snow and a pristine white like the moon. Her long, pure white hair draped over her fair shoulders, carrying a touch of sacredness.
On top of its head, a pair of fluffy rabbit ears gradually emerged.
No longer a phantom formed from moonlight, but as if it were real, it grew on both sides of the top of the head!
The next moment, pure white light completely filled his pupils, followed by a powerful and rich aura that seemed to resonate with the goddess.
An invisible force spread across the entire land, moving throughout the world!
In the flowerbed, countless withered flowers suddenly trembled, as if their life force was draining away. Their roots and stems withered and broke, eventually turning into pure black ash and merging into the soil.
There was no sign of life on the ground anymore; the flowers sank into the soil as they died, just like the withering of everything.
But then, a burst of vibrant life force erupted once more from beneath the earth!
Tender buds of flowers sprout from the soil, growing freely under the moonlight that replaces sunlight and dew, exuding the richest fragrance and vitality!
The same scene spread throughout the entire kingdom!
Within the central courtyard, the woman's aura slowly shifted, becoming as pure and beautiful as a young girl, as noble as a deity... as if she shouldn't exist in this world. Her silvery-white eyes, gleaming with moonlight, surveyed the surroundings, exuding a sacredness that could instill fear and awe in anyone.
At this moment, the source of all the strange phenomena must be eradicated, the source of the disaster.
She slowly turned her head, her divine eyes gazing towards the distant border of the kingdom, and uttered a sacred whisper:
"Finally, someone has created a 'miracle'..."
……
Demon domain.
The divine incantation of "One-Sword Style" resonated within his body.
The red-haired girl's voice echoed between heaven and earth, as if she were about to utter the final, burning words of her life:
"My name is Shana! The Shattering Shana—!"
"Burn away the blood of chaos, and rid the world of all evil!"
"A crimson golden light hangs high overhead, and supreme power is concentrated in a single strike."
At this moment, I will bear the sins of humanity, break through the darkness that is darker than the night itself, and complete the sin of slaying a god!
"O dawn, more radiant than light, twilight, more chaotic than darkness, entrust my crimson golden light to you!"
"Even the faintest power can be entrusted to my body, and even the weakest delusion can be forged into a blade. Facing an abyss that cannot devour everything, I will burn my body and my will—"
"In the name of the hero!"
Holy power and magical power surged forth from his body once again.
An invisible current enveloped her, and at that moment, the blindfold over Shana's right eye snapped off silently, as if sensing Shana's unwavering will to die.
The next moment, a chilling red light flickered once more within the crimson demonic eye:
"I'll risk this fatal blow, and with my weakest strength... I will crush your strongest!"
Crimson flames devoured light and darkness, soaring into the sky from the despair-shrouded earth, gazing directly at the abyss shadow that destroyed everything!
"One more time? That's just the struggle of the weak..."
An extremely cold voice emanated from the black flames as Lak coldly stared at the tiny figure on the ground, his attack materializing in his hand.
The high-speed, compressed chanting was accompanied by the draining of all the magic power in the entire demon realm. With an incomparably domineering and icy demeanor, it condensed into a single, extremely dark and malevolent point high in the sky, flashing with a light that could destroy everything!
That was a terrifying attack far surpassing Shana's strike! It was the ultimate abyssal power, capable of devouring the entire world!
A terrifying aura shook the entire world, and Lak's dark, lifeless eyes coldly gazed at the tiny figure on the ground.
He tried to glimpse the despair and fear he wanted to see in that face that vaguely resembled Mino's.
What came into view was a crimson light that seemed to possess some kind of incredible power, a light that even darkness could not suppress!
Within his body, the will of the abyss trembled violently.
"That...that's..."
The memory was somewhat hazy, but the crimson that shouldn't exist in the world made it tremble as if it had stirred up a fear rooted in the abyss!
Lak's gaze also flickered.
As the crimson light spread within his pupils, he saw an invisible shadow enveloping Shana, carrying that familiar yet terrifying aura, as if the dead had been resurrected or a heroic spirit had returned.
An instinctive fear spread throughout Lark's body, making his blood feel icy cold.
The strands of hair floating in the air seemed to be tinged with a dazzling golden light.
Immediately afterwards, the black blade tip was raised high, and an incredible power unique to that golden light, one that shattered all understanding, surged toward him—!
