Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 1185: Chapter 548: Holy Stele Forever Sealed

David stood to the side, his gaze complex as he looked toward Amy, that complexity woven from awe, worry, and reverence.

He knew this battle was not merely a clash of flesh, but a trial in which the deepest depths of the Soul stood against the encroachment of darkness.

And Amy, in this moment, was using her own life to raise a final Barrier for everyone.

As the cold wind howled, a band of ghostly blue Flame surged forth from Amy’s palm; that Flame differed from the wildness within David’s ghost-blue fires, instead suffused with pure Power of Sanctity, like the core of a Soul within the Ice of the Far North, shedding a unique radiance in this dim world.

She slowly raised both hands, pouring this force into the ”Heart of Ice” suspended at her chest—a crystalline, ice-blue Gem gleaming like frozen starlight—this was a Holy Artifact passed down through generations of the Star Pupil Race, hailed as the purest vessel of Origin Power in the Far North.

As Origin Power fused with shattered space-time, a ritual unprecedented and unrepeatable was about to unfold.

The air around them suddenly grew heavy, as though even the flow of time itself had been invisibly twisted and congealed.

The falling snowflakes gradually slowed to stillness, seemingly frozen in midair; every flake refracted a cold and splendid light, like countless frozen stars hanging in the void.

This hushed oppression made every breath nearly cease, leaving only the sound of heartbeats clearly echoing in their ears.

”I will invoke the ’Ultimate Ice Seal Technique,’ using my own life as Sacrifice, to completely lock down this polluted, corroded, and ever-expanding Otherworld rift in space-time.” Amy’s voice was steady, yet carried an irrevocable resolve. ”But once the ritual begins, I will enter a long slumber, and I know not when I shall awaken.”

Zelros spoke in a trembling voice, ”Your Sacrifice... our people will remember it forever!”

”This is for the future, and for everything we have sworn to protect together.”

Amy inclined her head slightly, her eyes fixed on the distant, twisted, trembling fissure in the Earth that was still spreading—that was the unstable core left behind after the Abyss’s whispers lured David into the fall, and also the most rampant source of the parasitic spores’ proliferation.

Their gazes converged into an unbreakable wall of steel, silently conveying support and gratitude, yet also suffused with an irrepressible sorrow and pain.

But realizing that the current situation left no room to turn back, with countless shattered lives teetering on the brink, they could only exhaust every last strength to guard this final dawn of hope.

Suddenly, the firmament erupted with a dazzling yet deathly cold, blazing blue-violet phenomenon—that was the first wave released by the ’Ultimate Ice Seal Technique.’

A surging gale swept outward, like a winter deluge engulfing Heaven and Earth; every inch of air seemed to transform into razor-sharp Crystal blades skimming across the skin, and all the soldiers’ faces were instantly veiled in a fine sheen of moisture—not sweat, but frost condensing swiftly from within their bodies!

As the Spell’s cadence quickened, the ’Heart of Ice’ suspended over Amy’s chest at the core point began to tremble violently; the sacred Energy Wave it unleashed rapidly flooded the entire camp, cloaking the previously reddened, corrupted Earth in a layer of pure, transparent, crystalline film.

This film was like a colossal, exquisitely carved Crystal mirror, refracting strange and variegated patterns beneath the shadowed sky; it was as if reality and dream had woven together into a vision of peerless beauty, and as though proclaiming that this space was slowly freezing, solidifying into an eternal existence...

Reina’s face had gone pale, yet she refused to let even a flicker of her gaze waver. She tightened her grip on her blade, forming a protective ring with the supporting Warriors around her, to prevent any surprise attack from disrupting the Spellcasting.

She stared fixedly toward Amy, swallowing again and again to relieve the dryness carved into her throat by the bitter cold, yet forcing herself to still her breath, to steady her heart, and let all her Magic Power pour forth to support the Wizard’s Magic as it unfolded with unwavering stability.

David knelt upon one knee, his whole body wreathed in ghost-blue flames, providing an additional Magic shield for the team to withstand any shock wave that might erupt at any moment from the residual spatial fractures.

His hands pressed together, he murmured ancient prayers, continuously strengthening the spiritual link, to ensure that no member of the team’s Soul would be brushed by the invasive Chaos of distortion, while also enhancing the overall stability of the Barrier, laying a solid foundation for their final victory!

Time seemed to cease its passage, yet in truth, every second was laden with thousands of struggles and torments.

Wave after wave rippled out from the central region, stretching like vines in all directions, gradually leveling and repairing the once-quaking, crumbling Earth, and continuously reinforcing the structure of the Rune Array, shaping it into a vast three-dimensional spatial Barrier lattice, effectively curbing the spread of pollution and the further penetration of parasitic filaments!

Yet the price paid behind this was immeasurably cruel.

In the midst of Spellcasting, countless crystal-clear yet lethally sharp ice needles suddenly shot outward in all directions from the release point of the ’Ultimate Ice Seal Technique.’ They were like tens of billions of tiny sword-edges cleaving through the atmosphere, piercing into the Spellcaster’s flesh from every direction, provoking searing pain and brief assaults of hallucination, leaving one teetering at the brink of unconsciousness.

But Amy clenched her teeth and endured this cutting torment, relying on astonishing Willpower to hold out to the very end, never retreating by so much as a hair’s breadth!

At last, when the final Rune was fully inscribed, when the last strand of Soul Power had been cast and fused into the ’Ultimate Freeze Domain,’ the sky suddenly split open with a deafening roar!

The whole expanse of Heaven and Earth was instantly transformed into a colossal, floating, transparent Crystal Ball, its surface inlaid with countless ancient sigils glimmering with light, as if a relic from beyond the stars had descended into the temple of the Divine Domain, compelling all witnesses to stand in solemn awe!

Then, this new-era eternal stele—forged from blood and flesh into rock, and woven from spirit into a prison—descended slowly toward the center of the great fissure, and gradually covered it, causing the once-bloody, rotten, and festering scene to vanish completely, leaving only a solemn and awe-inspiring yet hope-filled birthmark of a new world—a deathless monument forged from blood, faith, and Willpower, a Chapter of Legend in which the Star Pupil Race and their allies stride through shadow and calamity to reconstruct the future epic!
