Chapter 35 - Chapter 35: Chapter 34 Inviting the Lord of the Lost (2/2)
Baron Bourette extended his hand, and two flames rose from around him, forming a scorching firewall that encircled everyone present in the snowy weather.
He was a descendant of the top-tier Meyer family bloodline, possessing the powerful heritage of one of the ancient magic beasts, “Adranus.” Even among those of the Transmutation class, few could match him.
“Your deaths are insignificant. Hand over the treasure, and the Meyer family will ascend to the highest throne on the Ouden Continent because of you.”
Byrne swallowed hard, even feeling warmth in the harsh winter, as the rising flames formed a firewall that left no possibility of escape for anyone.
That black armored knight was definitely an Extraordinary Exponent of Level 2 “Transmutation!”
He also possessed extremely strong bloodline power, able to kill everyone with just a raise of his hand, making resistance utterly futile.
It was a dead end.
But what exactly was the “treasure” the other party mentioned? Could it be…
Byrne couldn’t help but glance at the transparent bottle wrapped in cloth that Irene was holding. Could it be that the other party was targeting the Lord of the Lost from the very beginning?
Cries, howls, and pleas for mercy were incessant at that moment.
Baron Bourette looked down from his high position, gazing mercilessly at the people surrounded by flames.
He needed to resolve this quickly.
He couldn’t linger any longer, as the threat of Duke Black Iron’s death was on its way.
Bourette extended his hand and slowly began to close his fingers, as the surrounding firewall gradually moved inward. In a little while, those dozens of people would be completely reduced to ashes.
Everyone was in utter despair, their cries of agony, screams, pleas for mercy, and sobs were pierced by a distinctly different and utterly out-of-place voice.
Byrne held Chris tightly, looking towards Irene, who knelt on the ground with her eyes closed, incessantly praying, and vaguely sensed that something was about to happen.
Chris, Old Ramon, Hugh, and others suddenly noticed Irene on the ground, murmuring to herself with a voice filled with mysterious reverence, as if whispering the fate of destiny, the final prayer.
“The future He sees will be executed by His great will; everything we are experiencing now is but a test He has given.”
Her voice was incredibly devout and powerful, an unwavering faith at its core.
“Great Lord of the Lost, Your will is the destiny we must follow. I hope You can hear my most humble prayer. My soul, body, past, and future, I am willing to offer up everything that rightfully belongs to You!”
“Please forgive my greed, but I only ask that You save the desperate Fischer family, those who are about to suffer. Repay brutality with the blade of brutality, and cleanse the enemies before us with destruction!”
As the raging flames were about to engulf them and death seemed imminent, Byrne and the others were inexplicably drawn to this scene.
Irene calmly uncovered the transparent bottle in her arms, wrapped in cloth, and lifted it high.
Karl’s invisible will soared high into the air, seeing the myriad of colors that emerged from within the girl’s body—life span, emotions, memories, sensations, wisdom.
He could distinctly feel that the black armored knight possessed enough power to withstand a strong curse; simply the lowest tier of the “weapon” was not enough to kill the foe.
And even if he exhausted all the spiritual power he had accumulated, it wouldn’t be enough to kill all the enemies.
Fortunately, it was only the consumption of spiritual power and not the capacity of the soul itself, avoiding any impact on the progress of breaking the seal.
Karl focused his attention, using up all his spiritual power to draw out more white light until half of Irene’s black hair turned pure white.
The next moment, Irene, Byrne, Chris, Narda, they all looked up at the sky in astonishment, their hearts stirred with tumultuous excitement and reverence. A boundless white light exploded in the sky, almost like a third sun in broad daylight!
It lined up with the Blazing Sun and the Radiant Sun in the sky, intensifying all colors!
It was as if there were three suns hanging in the sky!
It resembled a miracle!
