Chapter 654: The Past Warriors Could Not Be Proud (1/2)

“Brave Warrior Meraly, it’s up to you now!” Ayrin shouted out without slowing down. His fists kept grazing the Cursed Crown.

“Crystal Angel!”

Meraly also sensed a tiny crystal particle flying out. A dazzling light glowed from her eyes and she moved towards the crystal particle.

Before today, she still felt a little inferior. She was worried that others would look at her strangely because of the crystal wings growing from her back. However, right now, seeing the desperate Ayrin working hard despite his blood boiling and the completely changed Stingham, she no longer had any such thoughts.

Everyone is giving it their all.

Since they can even risk their lives, there’s no point worrying about the crystal wings growing on my back!

Meraly stretched out her hand and held the tiny crystal particle in her palm.

The arcane power from Crystal Angel instantly absorbed it into her body.

Boom!

It was just one speck, one tiny crystal particle. However, the instant she absorbed it, her entire body felt as if it were getting smashed by a huge object. She trembled violently.

“Ah!” Meraly cried out in pain.

The arcane power of Crystal Angel completely melted the crystal particle. However, once the melted crystal current flowed inside her body, it felt like countless tiny crystal daggers wedging into her bones!

Those ‘crystal daggers’ were trying to regroup and return into that crystal particle. It was trying to return to the crown! This was why it felt as if the ‘crystal daggers’ were slicing her bones and cutting her flesh.

However, Meraly did not give up. After crying out in pain, she screamed out like Ayrin, “Get integrated!”

Boom!

A crystal hue surged out from her body. It seemed like crystal dust seeping out from her pores.

Her bones desperately confined and integrated the melted crystal particle.

The crystal dust was the product from the friction between her bones and the Cursed Crown crystal particle.

It was an unimaginable pain.

Meraly’s body convulsed and shriveled up.

However, at that moment, two hands suddenly held Meraly’s hands.

They were Belo’s.

Due to the intense pain, Meraly’s nails dug deeply into his palms.

However, Belo did not even bat an eye.

This was my suggestion, so I will share the pain with you.

It seemed Meraly could feel this thought of Belo.

She did not release Belo’s hands and instead screamed in her heart, “Get integrated!”

Pssssh......

Bone shattering sounds came from her body. Sounds of heavy objects falling also came out at the same time.

“Did it work?”

Moss and the others were sweating from nervousness. Their muscles were cramped from tensing up too much. When they heard the sounds, their eyes opened wide.

Every tiny part of the crystal particle in Meraly’s body had been fixated. They became liquefied and seeped into her bones.

Meraly’s face twisted in pain just like Ayrin, but she screamed out, “Again!”

“Again!” Ayrin also screamed at the same time.

Under the continuous attack by him and Stingham, more and more crystal particles flew out from the Cursed Crown.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The crystal particles entered Meraly’s body one after another. When each particle seeped into her body, a loud thumping sound could be heard, just like a huge boulder dropping into a calm lake.

“They...... really......”

Auroses’s face turned pale.

The scene before him had wiped away the last trace of pride deep in his heart.

During the majestic Era of the War with Dragons...... Those legendary arcane masters were unable to destroy this Cursed Crown. However, these youths who are much weaker than those legendary figures are actually doing it!

In front of them, what’s there to be proud of?

“It worked?” Ayrin shouted excitedly, “Brave warrior Stingham, we can slow down a little!”

The Cursed Crown had exceeded its material endurance critical point under the constant attacks by Ayrin and Stingham.

Even if they slowed down their attacks a little, it would only be a matter of time before the crown completely shattered.

Meraly was drenched in sweat. However, she slowly stood upright. She gritted her teeth and slowly replied to Ayrin’s concern, “It’s fine...... I can hold on......”

A different flame lit in Jean Camus’s eyes.

“Meraly, my judgement was right about you.” He evaluated in his mind while walking towards her.

“I will help.” He spoke. Then, a unique aura spread out from him.

Crystal particles flew past him without any hindrance.

However, the instant they passed by him, most of the arcane power contained within the particles was neutralized, only leaving the crystal material behind.

“It’s really effective!” Moss and the others almost cheered loudly.
