Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 1225: Chapter 568: Primordial Core Fragment Restraint

Reina swiftly swung her magic staff, forming a blue energy barrier before her.

”These are... the remnants of test subjects! Quickly, block them!” Her brow was etched with anxiety and determination as she used all her might to stabilize the elemental barrier.

Erin swiftly cast a binding spell, tracing arcs with her hands, pinning the grotesque creatures in place one by one. Yet their numbers were overwhelming, continuously flooding in, suffocating the air.

David slashed at those approaching, each swing of his sword trailing meteor flames, yet his fatigue was becoming apparent.

”We cannot let them near the Soul Key!” His voice pierced through the storm as the soldiers fortified the final defense line with their lives.

Amidst the fierce confrontation, the marble platform trembled once more, and the ancient carvings violently twisted and deformed, as if eroded by forces from another dimension, showing dark, corrosive marks.

A dark shadow rose from the center of the platform, an ominous entity never before seen but full of threat. It appeared composed of inky smoke and shattered stars, extending tentacles seeking to engulf the core of the holy artifact.

David charged forward, roaring, ”I won’t allow you to desecrate this place!” His giant sword swept across, clashing fiercely with the shadowy tendrils.

The tendrils were soft yet resilient, with each collision causing space to ripple and the impact zone to expand, the shadow’s eyes burning with an unsettling flame of terror.

Reina and Erin replenished the barrier shield while continuously interpreting the carvings, hoping to find a way to suppress or seal away the evil shadow.

”We must decipher it!” Reina shouted, ”Otherwise this ’Abyssal Corruption’ will forever taint our world!”

As the text gradually decoded, a hidden spell emerged, not merely a seal but a reversal magic technique requiring everyone’s focused willpower to activate.

The members quickly formed a circle, each closing their eyes to enter a state of mental resonance—

Time seemed to freeze for a few seconds, leaving only the sound of their breathing and the distant battle’s echoing explosions.

Then, a pale golden stream of sacred energy erupted around them, innumerable fragments of light swirling upwards, building an indestructible barrier with the runes.

With a low rumbling, the dark shadow struggled wildly for a moment before shattering into countless pieces, purified by the endless starlight...

The ruins returned to calm, but the oppressive atmosphere lingered as greater secrets were yet to be unveiled...

The adventure team members supported each other, weary but resolute, with countless unspoken yet precious convictions held deeply in their hearts.

”We have obtained the truly complete code...” David murmured, ”The road ahead is long, but at least, we have a chance...”

After the dark veil receded, the air of the altar ruins still trembled as if recently torn apart and reshaped.

The afterglow emitted by the star runes gradually faded, leaving a stifling yet dangerous silence.

Though the adventure team successfully obtained the complete code, the real challenge was far from over.

David stood on a shattered stone slab, his gaze piercing and cold.

He took a deep breath, looking toward the nearby dark and twisted space—where the skirmish between the Pillar God’s avatar and the Ice Hell Lord, Keroth, was nearing its end.

The massive booming sounds echoed like war drums, each collision shattering and scattering rocks, extending the ground’s cracks.

Keroth’s armor was riddled with cracks, yet he continued attacking frantically with his heavy ice hammer, roaring, ”David, you mortals will not prevent the birth of true order!”

However, the Pillar God’s avatar seemed unscathed, its claws gleaming with eerie purple lightning, each strike severing all connections between heaven and earth.

Suddenly, after a fierce clash, the Pillar God’s avatar opened its maw, swallowing the frantically resisting Keroth whole.

The air filled with a suffocating ominous aura, a chaotic and void-born uneasy energy, absorbing all surrounding light and sound like a black hole.

Reina frowned, knowing the significance of this step—the Pillar God’s avatar would absorb its opponent’s power through devouring, and most dangerously, concealed within was a highly dangerous Chaos Core Fragment, an initial, pure, and extraordinarily uncontrollable form of chaos energy.

Once released, it would trigger a cataclysmic chain reaction, threatening all life present and potentially causing widespread temporal-spatial disruption within the altar ruins and beyond.

She whispered to David, ”We must quickly capture the Chaos Core Fragment, or we won’t be able to stop its advancement and loss of control!”

David nodded, steadily drawing the dark gold longsword from his back, its blade swirling with endless chaotic vortices.

He slowly approached the shadow’s center, each step on the brink of collapse, yet carrying unwavering determination.

”Leave it to me, this time I won’t let go.”

Reina closed her eyes, channeling magic power throughout her body, retrieving a translucent, bluely-glowing fragment from her bosom—

It was a ’Divine Remains Crystal’ refined from the remains left by the Observer, a rare substance with powerful sealing and resonance abilities, offering the only hope to temporarily curb the release of the Chaos Core.

She raised the Divine Remains Crystal overhead, a blue rune array unfurling slowly above the ruins, its serpentine lines forming countless intricate connections, a massive ’Core Resonance Cage’.
