Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 1186: Chapter 548: Holy Stele Forever Sealed (2)

As the dust settled, people saw Amy peacefully resting within the newly established pedestal foundation, resembling Sleeping Beauty quietly awaiting revival on a winter morning.

Zelros knelt in reverence, his deep voice echoing through the tent: ”Your sacrifice has given the world new life, we will inherit your will and protect our homeland to the end!”

Reina’s eyes were brimming with tears, but a resilient smile graced her lips, ”Tonight, we bid farewell to a true hero and usher in the dawn’s light.”

The cold wind in the Far North remained as sharp as a knife, seeming to tear the earth and sky apart.

The night grew more intense, thick clouds hung low, obscuring the stars, leaving only endless darkness and frost weaving into a bitter cold night.

An oppressive atmosphere filled the air at the edge of the rift, a suffocating silence brought by the pollution of the earth veins.

In the camp, people stood around the last rune array before the rift, their faces filled with exhaustion and tension.

Amy stood in the center, draped in a white magic robe, her silver hair tossed about by the cold wind, but her eyes shone with firm and fervent brilliance.

She took a deep breath of the bone-chilling fresh air, slowly closed her eyes, and sank her consciousness into the depths within.

”This is the only way to stop the rift from expanding,” she whispered to those beside her, her voice light yet unwavering, ”and the greatest sacrifice.”

Reina clenched her double blades, responding firmly, ”No matter the cost, we cannot give up on any hope.”

David stood nearby, gazing at Amy with a complex expression, an amalgam of awe, concern, and reverence.

He knew this battle was not just physical combat but a trial deep within the soul against the dark erosion.

And Amy, in this moment, was using her life to build the last barrier for everyone.

As the wind howled, a ghostly blue flame surged from Amy’s palm, unlike the wild blue flame of David, it was filled with pure power of sanctity, like the soul essence of ice in the Far North, shining with a unique brilliance in the dim world.

She slowly raised her hands, channeling this power into the ”Heart of Ice,” a crystal-clear, ice-blue gemstone dazzling on her chest, a holy artifact handed down through generations of the Star Pupil Race, revered as the purest container of origin power in the Far North.

When origin energy merged with broken space-time, an unprecedented ceremony was about to unfold.

The atmosphere around suddenly grew heavy, as if time itself was invisibly warped and frozen.

Falling snowflakes gradually halted, as if stuck midair, each flake refracting splendid icy light, like countless frozen stars suspended in void.

This serene oppression made everyone’s breath nearly cease, leaving only the clear echo of heartbeats in their ears.

”I will invoke the ’Ultimate Ice Seal Technique,’ using my own life as the offering, to completely lock down this polluted, expanding, and tearing otherworld space-time,” Amy’s voice was steady yet decisively irreversible, ”but after the ceremony begins, I will enter a long sleep, not knowing when I will awaken.”

Zelros trembled, ”Your sacrifice... will be eternally remembered by the tribe!”

”This is for the future, and for everything we collectively protect.”

Amy nodded slightly, gazing at the twisted, vibrating, and continuously spreading fissure in the distance—the unstable core left behind after the abyss whispered David to fall, the source where spores and parasites rampantly spread.

The gazes of the crowd converged into an unbreakable iron fortress, silently conveying support and gratitude, mixed with uncontainable sorrow and pain.

But realizing there was no room for maneuver in the current situation, with countless shattered lives hanging on the brink, they could only strive to protect the last hope of dawn.

Suddenly, the sky exploded with a brilliant and icy cold extreme blue-purple spectacle, the first wave released by the ’Ultimate Ice Seal Technique.’

A mighty airflow swept around, like winter storms engulfing the world, each inch of air seemingly turning into sharp crystal blades slicing through the skin, causing every soldier’s face to instantly be coated with a fine layer of water droplets—not sweat, but frost rapidly condensed from within their bodies!

As the spell’s rhythm quickened, the ’Heart of Ice’ floating at the core on Amy’s chest began vibrating intensely, releasing sacred energy waves rapidly filling the entire camp domain, dyeing the previously pollution-red and corrupt earth with a layer of pure, transparent crystal film.

This film like meticulously carved giant crystal mirrors, under the dark canopy, refracted elusive, brilliant patterns, as if reality and dream intertwined into a stunning illusion, also seemingly heralding the gradual freezing and solidification of space into everlasting existence...

Reina’s face turned pale, but she resolutely refused to let a hint of collapse show in her gaze, gripping the hilt, forming a protective circle with surrounding warriors to prevent any sudden assault disrupting the spellcasting process.

She gazed intently in Amy’s direction, continually swallowing the dryness caused by the winter’s stabbing throat pain, yet forced herself to hold her breath, allowing her magic power to fully support the Wizard’s spell steadily unfolding.

David knelt, burning with ghostly blue flame to provide additional magic shields for the team against the impact of potential residual space fracture explosions.

He clasped his hands and murmured ancient prayers, continuously strengthening the spiritual link to ensure the team members’ souls were not touched by warped chaos erosion, while enhancing the stability index of the entire barrier, laying a solid foundation for final victory!

Time seemed to have stopped flowing, but in reality every second endured thousands of struggles and ordeals.

Ripples spread from the core area, like roots branching and extending in all directions, gradually leveling and repairing the originally shaky and collapsing earth, and continuously enhancing the rune array structure to form a massive three-dimensional spatial barrier grid, effectively curbing the invasion of pollution and the further penetration and spread of parasitic fungal threads!

However, the price paid in this process was exceptionally harsh.

During the spellcasting, countless crystalline yet razor-sharp small ice needles suddenly shot out from the ’Ultimate Ice Seal Technique’ release point, like billions of small sword edges slashing through the atmosphere, penetrating every direction into the spellcaster’s body, causing intense pain and temporary hallucinations, pushing one to the brink of losing consciousness.

But Amy gritted her teeth to endure the slicing torment, using astonishing willpower to hold out until the end, never once backing down!

Finally, when the last rune was completely engraved and the final bit of soul power was projected and cast into the ’Ultimate Freeze Domain,’ the sky exploded with a deafening roar!

The entire world instantly transformed into a gigantic floating transparent crystal ball, its surface embedded with countless ancient symbols shining brightly, like relics descending from the sky to the divine domain on earth, inspiring awe among all witnesses!

Subsequently, this stone monument, woven from flesh into rock and from spirit into cages, representing a new era, gently descended onto the enormous fissure center and slowly covered it, causing the previously brilliant, bloody, and decayed scene to completely vanish, leaving only a solemn and awe-inspiring yet hope-filled new world birthing imprint—an undying monument built by blood, belief, and willpower, a Chapter of legendary epic reconstructed beyond the disaster by the Star Pupil Race and its allies!

As the dust settled, people saw Amy peacefully resting within the newly established pedestal foundation, resembling Sleeping Beauty quietly awaiting revival on a winter morning.

Zelros knelt in reverence, his deep voice echoing through the tent: ”Your sacrifice has given the world new life, we will inherit your will and protect our homeland to the end!”

Reina’s eyes were brimming with tears, but a resilient smile graced her lips, ”Tonight, we bid farewell to a true hero and usher in the dawn’s light.”
