Chapter 395 - Chapter 395: 375 (2/2)
“Your Fischer family will be utterly destroyed here!”
“All the citizens of Nasir will die, your family’s decades of accumulation, it will all turn to ashes today!”
“You have lost!”
Byrne’s face was devoid of any expression, understanding that pondering anything else was futile now, he must bravely face the situation that had arisen.
If he didn’t act soon, everything would unfold just as Marquis Vlad had stated.
The entire Fischer family would be demolished, and he could not tolerate such a scenario.
For decades, Byrne had anticipated a day such as this.
The outcome, too, had long been accepted.
All of a sudden, Byrne lifted the legendary red Philosopher’s Stone. Meant to be still, it was now shaking violently, as if greatly stimulated, emitting a crazy, dazzling glow, as though it contained the purest power between heaven and earth!
“A treasure even the powerful experts of Heavenly Enlightenment dream of, I know what it’s made of, because I saw it with my own ‘eyes’…,”
“Inside are countless fractured souls, compressed to the extreme after being gathered together, then arranged and combined in bizarre ways by the alchemist who released it as the most basic ‘spells’, forming hundreds of completely different miniature arrays.”
“That is the ‘truth’ of the Philosopher’s Stone.”
He took a deep breath, saying with revulsion:
“The process of making this thing is horrifyingly nauseating…”
Marquis Vlad and others caught sight of the red stone, a doubt arising within them.
What was that?
They didn’t know why, but there was a strong sense of foreboding!
Byrne had already closed his eyes, praying to the god with the most sincere feelings in his heart:
“Great Lord of the Lost, please wake up!”
“I am Byrne Fischer, though insignificant, I must face the challenge that is upon me. I petition for Your mighty power so that I can overcome all obstacles and protect those I love.”
“Or if this is destiny’s arrangement, then please let this Philosopher’s Stone respond to my call, grant me the power I need!”
Once before,
Byrne prayed to the great Lord of the Lost, hoping to take Irene’s place…
But that time, he failed.
However, Byrne understood now that he had changed.
Now he was truly a devout person.
So,
God would surely protect him.
Just then, a wave of crazy red light burst forth from the Philosopher’s Stone, circling Byrne’s body.
He felt a strength like never before pulsing within him, as if the energy of the entire world converged upon him at this moment. His mind became exceptionally clear; the world before his eyes brighter and more vivid.
Byrne suddenly realized that his own lifespan and Spiritual Power were being devoured by that red light.
“So that’s it, miracles of unimaginable power aren’t free…”
He was calm, continuing to activate the terrible power of the Philosopher’s Stone.
“That kind of thing is quite normal,”
The Philosopher’s Stone, since ancient times, has been a mythic and legendary treasure, the ultimate crystallization of alchemy, an object even the powerful experts of Heavenly Enlightenment covet, containing the purest, most profound miraculous power in the cosmos!
People witnessed a shocking celestial phenomenon, the red light like a blazing giant dragon, tearing through the sky!
The light was not only dazzling but also contained endless energy and life force, as if it could dispel all evil!
As the red light spread, both the sky and the earth underwent cataclysmic changes; clouds turned a brilliant red as if imbued with life, and the ground trembled incessantly. All creatures felt the presence of this force, looking up reverently, hearts full of awe.
Farther away, whether it was the profound oceans, vast grasslands, bustling cities, or remote villages, nearly everyone in Cyart was drawn to the sudden red light, with some even believing it to be the fulfillment of a prophecy, or an omen of a divine arrival.
In Nasir City, Darren and Lilian both looked up at the same moment, wordless.
“What in the world is that?”
Marquis Vlad watched the spectacle in utter astonishment, his volcanic body retreating instinctively.
Not just him, almost everyone present was irresistibly drawn in; they could all clearly feel that the stone possessed a force so powerful it was beyond belief!
It was not something they could contend with!
