I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 527

Chapter 527 Chapter 87 The Sword of End of Darkness (Part 1)
Tainted demonic energy, like ferocious evil beasts biting at the light, the aura of darkness and decay poured out like a vast sea, corroding Ig’s surroundings in an instant, as if falling into a demonic realm of evil!
“This is—”
The tainted darkness, like streaks of black lightning, pierced the curtain of light and poured out. The Knight Commander Rodrigo, a guard, couldn’t help but tremble heavily, his pupils dilating, and he let out a horrified voice.
“Ig, have you defected to the Demon Race!”
He had not experienced the Demon Race War a hundred years ago, but the dark demonic power overflowing from the pitch-black heart in Ig’s hand was exactly like the pitch-black demonic power recorded in history when the Demon King descended!
As if trembling in pain, holding the delicate young girl, the young man shrouded in light tightly gripped the Heart of the Demon King in his right hand and suddenly plunged it into his chest.
The Heart of the Demon King was placed directly into his heart!
Flesh and blood shattered, and the pitch-black demonic energy almost instantly corroded Ig’s body, the pain of tearing apart his form and even his soul causing Ig to suddenly lift his head, his azure eyes showing a dark crimson surge.
Thick tentacles of demonic energy coiled and spread layer by layer beneath Ig’s skin and flesh. Under the terrifying power, a piece of flesh suddenly burst open, and a demonic mark bulged out. The bright red blood was almost stained pitch-black demonic blood at this moment!
Like pitch-black lightning, dark demonic power as thick as a wrist overflowed from the young man’s body, surging and swaying within the enveloping light. The corrupted and evil fluctuations tore apart the entire curtain of light.
Suddenly, Ig’s right hand, which was flipped and grasped, once again pulled out the blade edge of the End, and the overflowing dark demonic energy reflected on the straight blade edge, suddenly piercing space and pointing towards Lancaster’s subordinate!
“This level of dark demonic energy, could it be the Heart of the Demon King from the Dark Demon Realm… However, you could remain undetected by me. Could it be that that woman gifted it to you?”
Lancaster’s pupils reflected this novel sight, and he raised his palm and heavily collided with the End of Darkness. The powers of light and darkness surged, and the exploding fluctuations engulfed their surroundings like a tsunami.
Under the burning Heart of the Demon King, Ig’s strength at this moment was even comparable to the true form of a Demon King, an immortal Deity!
Even compared to Verafia’s blazing divine power before, the power of the Demon King of the Dark Demon Realm was more antagonistic to Lancaster’s light, and it would clearly cause greater damage!
Brilliant light burned in the darkness. Under the attack of the End, Lancaster retreated heavily by one step, raising his right hand to transform into a Sacred Domain of Light, resisting the space-destroying impact around him, and then he pulled out again, a holy spear of light piercing out.
It was almost an annihilation of light and darkness, and Lancaster’s laughter rang out:
“The Demon King’s power is indeed the nemesis of light—however, Ig, with your body, how can you bear it, how can you control it!”
The spear blade of ultimate light clashed instantaneously with the dark long sword, and the erupting brilliance suddenly tore through the sky. Suddenly, amidst a patch of annihilation, dark light flickered, and the black-haired young man holding the young girl soared up into the sky.
Lancaster laughed heartily. Of course, he had no reason to let Ig and the girl escape. The brilliant light flickered, transforming into a stream of light, and he pursued them closely.
The traces of the holy spear piercing through the air stirred up countless light and shadow, hurting Ig’s True Sight Eye, almost causing blood to flow.
And in the air, swaths of sword light and spear shadows collided, as if the very sky would be torn apart in this clash of light and darkness!
The shimmering spear aura seemed to converge into a tide of light. Lancaster’s holy spear plummeted like a stormy rain, and even the reflection of the Demon King on the Sword of End was riddled with holes with unwilling roars.
“True Sight Eye, huh… yet it can only achieve true sight.”
Lancaster gazed at Ig’s slightly shimmering azure color within his dark red pupils. He had seen the “True Sight Eye” used by Ig before on the former “Priest” Moon, so how could he be surprised?
Moreover, although Ig’s sword momentum was extremely precise, in his line of sight, it clearly showed errors, as if it were difficult to control.
—This was exactly like Lancaster’s previous words: how could a mortal like Ig control the Demon King’s power?
For creatures on the continent of Atlantis, drinking the blood of the Demon Race would undoubtedly bring corrosion, and even a backlash of life; not to mention the Heart of the Demon King, the supreme existence in that world!
Ig forcibly placed the Heart of the Demon King into his own flesh and blood. Although it might bring the Demon King’s combat power for a moment, the final outcome waiting for him was undoubtedly being burst into a spray of blood by this terrifying power.
It was even impossible for him to be corrupted by the Demon King’s power and become a creature of the Demon Realm.
Because at Ig’s current level, compared to the Demon King of the Demon Realm, who was said to be world-destroying, even if the gap was indescribable, how could he bear the Demon King’s dark power?
Just as Lancaster thought, after several clashes between the sword and the holy spear, Ig’s arm, entwined and devoured by dark demonic power, suddenly stalled in mid-air without warning, a large patch of flesh cracking, and under the tainted blood, lay bare bones!
This was the sign that Ig’s mortal body could not bear the corrosion of the Demon Realm’s power, which was completely opposite to the life of the continent, and was about to completely collapse!
Lancaster showed a playful smile, but his holy spear in his hand did not stop at all, and he thrust it out.
The brilliant spear aura burned the dense darkness, directly pointing at Ig’s chest, which was corroded by the Heart of the Demon King, leaving only bones!
Almost at the moment Ig was pierced by the holy spear, a black demonic shadow fell from the sky, and dense death power covered the Demon King’s power overflowing from Ig, blocking the suddenly thrusting spear aura.
“Anderdun… you are truly more annoying than a mosquito.”
Lancaster raised his eyebrows heavily.
Even though this former Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Race, who now possessed half-god strength through his “Lost” divinity, presented a certain threat to Lancaster, Lancaster did not attack Anderundun with full power out of consideration for saving demonic power.
But at this moment, Lancaster uncharacteristically felt annoyed. He heavily raised the holy spear in his right hand, and the light gathered on the spear blade was like a scorching sun, piercing down towards the obstructing Death Wing.
At the moment the holy spear was thrust down, Anderundun’s demonic body also flashed with dazzling light. He actually chose to self-detonate this death body that he had condensed with “Lost” divine power over the past six months.
The power of a demigod self-detonating, even though Lancaster held the holy spear, could not help but be repelled by several steps.
And on the other side, Ig, who was being devoured by the Demon King’s power, took advantage of Lancaster being repelled and forcefully raised his head, trying to send the girl in his embrace away with his last strength.
“It really is the Demon King’s power?”
Suddenly, a deep, hoarse, and dim voice sounded in his mind. After the initial astonishment, he loudly urged:
“Kid, if you want to live, do as I say and merge the Demon King’s power into your blood!”
