Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 1183: Chapter 547: Soul-Binding Chains

Reina bit her lip, her fingers gripping the knife’s handle tightly, unable to hide the deep-seated pain within — she knew this was not just a tactical move but a matter of life and death, the ultimate offering to her clan and the world.

As night deepened, snowflakes fell like ink-stained silver sand, endlessly drifting.

But within the camp, there was an atmosphere of solemnity and reverence, sacred and grave like the sanctum of an ancient Divine Hall.

Zelros led three Elders to the center of the altar, which was a platform carved from pure obsidian, inlaid with dozens of shimmering blue-silver Rune Stone Slabs that seemed to bear the flows of time and the woven fabric of Spiritual networks.

”Please take your positions around the altar,” Zelros commanded solemnly, ”The Spiritual Link Array must be perfectly activated, or the consequences will be unforeseeable.”

The crowd responded silently, each moving to their designated position.

They closed their eyes in meditation, gradually deepening their consciousness into the marrow, activating slowly through spells recorded in ancient texts, the potential hidden within their star-eyed bloodline.

Meanwhile, they continually adjusted their Soul frequencies to seek maximum resonant effects.

Near the fire pit, the team members waited silently, without words, but everyone could feel an unusual wave rising in the air like an electrical current, the prelude to the gathering of powerful Spiritual Energy, an irreversible omen before the final battle of fate.

Time seemed to blur and stretch infinitely, leaving only the low hum of incantations and the faint resonance of runes to echo in their ears.

Suddenly, from the base of the obsidian platform shot a column of blue-silver intertwined light, like a heavenly river cascading straight into the sky, enveloping the entire camp in dazzling brilliance.

This column of light immediately split and diffused into countless slender indigo threads of Energy, weaving and winding in the air like a galaxy hanging above the night sky, resplendent and magnificent but also bringing a piercing chill that penetrated the Soul.

Zelros and the two Elders’ faces turned from blue to pale, then to ashen.

Their brows furrowed, their muscles were taut and trembled from the extreme exertion, yet they showed no sign of retreat.

A forceful aura filled with oppressive majesty radiated from within them, merging with the surrounding Spiritual Qi, resonating into a powerful Soul chain network to prevent the spread of pollution, forging the final barrier.

Amy’s eyes revealed concern, yet she watched resolutely: ”This is... completely beyond the range of conventional Magic, a physical embodiment of Spiritual Power, and if the backlash goes out of control...”

Her voice trembled slightly but was interrupted, as the Array center transmitted a sudden violent rumbling sound, the kind of tremor that seemed to tear space apart, accompanied by chilling wails, a weak yet extremely painful fluctuation surged from the base of the altar...

Reina stepped forward, her face showing resolute determination, gripping the wrist of one of the three Elders firmly.

The gale ruffled her hair, but it could not extinguish the undying flames burning in her eyes.

”Please hold on, we will not let you down!”

Her voice was low but resolute, spreading ripples that resonated in the hearts of those around, breaking the silence.

Time continued to flow, and the star chains progressively wove into completeness.

In this process, each thread of Energy was like an invisible bond, compressing the vast powers of the universe into a single point, and these points converged into the three life bodies, as they offered their Sacrifice to resist the spread of corruption...

Suddenly, a bright blue-silver light erupted from the chest of one of the Elders on the altar, his whole person stiffened abruptly, and the skin rapidly crystallized, hardened as if sealed in a transparent Ice coffin.

As the surface of the Crystal reflected cold patterns transforming into complex cosmic totems, his final Spell uttered from his mouth dispelled with the wind: ”Let the stars witness... our guardianship...”

The other two reacted similarly, their expressions twisted in extreme pain, yet they persisted unyieldingly, unwilling to let themselves become a weak link.

As the third Elder was compelled into a crystalline state, the vicinity of the altar suddenly soared with a splendid, intricate cosmic stellar illusion, as if truly suspending a myriad of stars across the sky, illuminating the endless night into an epic, brilliant Chapter!

Outside the tents, the gale howled, the snowstorm escalated to chaotic fury, but at this moment fear or exhaustion could not be heeded, for they knew this was the colossal price required before the dawn of victory’s light, a Hope opportunity bought by the eternal Guardians of the clan with their lives!

David knelt on the ground, slowly raised his head towards the strange Rune Crystal giant forms — there lay sealed three once valiant heroes who roamed the Wilderness, vowed to protect their homeland.

He crushed the snow under his fists, then stood up steadily, announcing in a thick, resonant voice: ”They have built all this with their lives! From now on, we must strive harder! We cannot let their Sacrifice go in vain!”

Reina’s eyes were brimming with tears, yet her gaze grew more piercing; Amy silently prayed and gave blessings; Liya swung her staff, casting to cleanse the lingering malicious corrosion.

All returned to tranquility, leaving only the boundless snowflakes drifting to cover the already frozen crystalline giant form like an eternally serene sculpture commemorating history...

Finally, dawn broke, that new suppression barrier lay across the heavens, like a galaxy descending, constructing a lattice of countless flickering lines, momentarily halting the once rampaging widespread contamination.

However, the trauma left by this catastrophe was not only in nature but also engraved on human hearts: too much Sacrifice had left life mottled, requiring much effort to mend and restore...
