I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 530

Chapter 530: Chapter 90 The Descent of the Abyss (Part 1)
“I have welcomed descending abysses before, and I have also faced the God King of destruction… Such injuries are, in fact, the first time in a hundred years.”
Lancaster’s cackling laughter echoed after the light. The Spear of Annihilation, stabbed by his hand, struck directly at the Demon King’s Heart.
Under the dazzling and bright spear aura, this dark heart let out an unbearable tremor, its torn traces seeming as if it were about to shatter under the blade of this most luminous Holy Spear in the next moment!
Lancaster knew very well that the power Ig was using to resist him originated from this Demon King’s Heart.
“If this heart shatters, with that young lady whose divine soul is already extinguished, and that young man who is merely Platinum, what can possibly stop me?”
Lancaster gazed at Ig, whose face was illuminated pale under the blazing spear aura, and no longer concealed his expression, which became incredibly ferocious. “However, without this Demon King’s Heart, what will you use to resist me!”
The blade of the Holy Spear twisted heavily, instantly puncturing and smashing the Demon King’s Heart, as if a world were shattering, erupting in a large area of light and heat!
The impact of the shattering sent Ig plummeting from the sky. He tightly shielded the young girl in his embrace, and just the first wisp of the shattering impact hitting Ig’s back almost caused his body to collapse, resulting in him spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Anderdun gritted his teeth. He knew that if Ig died, he would be utterly ruined, and immediately made up his mind, channeling his divine spark to block the impact of the shattering Demon King’s Heart.
The power, almost akin to world-shattering, exhausted half a year’s worth of his accumulated power, directly sending him into slumber.
A few wisps of power that Anderdun had blocked to contain the overflow, cut gashes on Ig’s arm. He slightly tightened his embrace of the girl in his arms, and opened his eyes forcefully. In front of his vision was a lightless night sky, and further down, a land shrouded in darkness.
If he fell to the ground, he would surely die from the impact.
Ig’s mind instantly conjured these words.
He couldn’t help but subtly shift his gaze, seeing the young girl being held in front of him. It seemed the violent wind prevented her from opening her eyes, her serene profile appearing as if she were asleep…
But, Young Lady…
Suddenly, another violent gust of wind appeared in his sight, a streak of translucent frost blue, freezing the space in the sky.
“Ig!”
“Whoosh!”
The tall and elegant dragon flapped its wings across the sky, its sapphire-like crystalline scales shimmering under the falling light, catching Ig and the young girl falling from the sky.
“Little Fei?”
Under the gentle dragon clan demonic power, landing on the Frost Giant Dragon’s back, there was not much pain.
Ig, holding the young girl in his arms, got up. In the sky, the lingering light of the shattered Dark Heart and the brilliance were falling like raindrops, but there were no traces of Lancaster in pursuit, let alone his figure.
His hand, still showing dark demonic patterns, pressed against his chest, touching the residual demonic power of the Dark Heart.
Ig forcefully lifted his head.
In the sky, the Demon King’s Heart, pierced by Lancaster, was like a world collapsing. The terrifying might released from the sky tore open a massive crack, piercing through the barriers of the sacred domain of light and the world of the sacred servants, like a hideous wound!
And within this wound, a dark, but distinctly different from the Demon King’s power, a substance like mercury but viscous like mud continuously surged out, yet it seemed to possess vitality, constantly writhing within the sword-like crack in the sky.
“This, could it be…”
Almost the same scene as the sky in the black dragon illusion, where it was corroded by darkness at the world’s boundary, made him exclaim, “The Abyss!”
In Ig’s embrace, Verafia leaned on his arm, propping up her pale little face slightly. A strand of golden hair brushed past as she raised her gaze towards the crack in the sky.
“The Abyss… Not exactly. This is rather more of a passage connecting two worlds, a teleportation channel…”
Verafia gently widened her golden eyes, gazing at the space that was solidifying and stabilizing at an unimaginable speed amidst the scorching light and immense energy released from the shattering of the Demon King’s Heart.
Had the person who gifted this Demon King’s Heart to Ig already planted a spatial anchor within it? Did she know beforehand that this Dark Heart would be broken by Lancaster in this domain?
Then, that person…
Verafia suddenly felt a trace of fear in her heart. She tightened her grip on Ig’s arm but still slightly lifted her delicate jade-like face.
Within the endlessly surging darkness, a slender white figure appeared.
Verafia’s eyelashes trembled slightly, her slender fingertips couldn’t help but tighten their grip. “To think, it’s her…”
Her white hair slid down along her delicate curves. Even in the darkness, the white-haired girl in her pure white long dress seemed like an unstained white lotus in the mud, appearing pure and flawless. Her slightly raised pupils reflected a crystal clear pure world.
Ig slightly tightened the little hand of the girl. Ig could feel how intense the upheaval was in the girl’s delicate heart.
“Young Lady, could it be that she is an acquaintance of yours?”
Ig originally wanted to ask this. However, in his sudden recollection, in that pitch-black domain, the pure white girl had once told him things related to Lothel, and her address for Lothel was a term of intimacy.
Thus, Young Lady… of course, she knew this girl, and perhaps, back then, they even had a significant relationship…
“Iris, is that you…”
A light, faint voice. Since her reawakening, she had never seen any trace of the girl, who was once like soft radiance and delicate, until now, this slender girl appearing from the pitch-black abyssal crack.
And behind her, was the endless Abyss.
So, this is the “Saintess” the Abyssal Church referred to… No wonder the Abyssal Church requested an alliance with Teacher Oran. Back then, the Jealous Witch “Verodia,” when she knew Ig was Lothel, would have that kind of demeanor…
A faint smile bloomed on the girl’s lightly lifted alluring red lips.
So, was the Demon King’s Heart in Ig’s hand also gifted by her… Yes, Ig’s identity is Lothel’s successor, and Iris has been watching him all along?
If so, by giving the Demon King’s Heart to Ig, was she waiting for this moment?
Verafia thought, her fingertips gently pressing, her jade-white slender fingers gripping Ig’s palm. Lifting her face, she gazed at the young man’s face:
“Mmm… Ig, let’s go quickly.”
Although the girl’s voice was delicate, it sounded incredibly resolute.
Iris was once a pure girl like soft dawn light, but after a hundred years, in the shadow of the Abyss, would her heart have changed?
Moreover, Verafia could not deny the scene of Lancaster’s victory.
Ig was slightly stunned, but quickly understood the girl’s feelings, and thus called out, “Little Fei!”
The Frost Giant Dragon slightly tilted its slender dragon head and let out a soft hum, indicating she understood. At the same time, it flapped its wings, stirring up the wind, and swooped down from the sky before the collision of light and abyss.

Suddenly realized the Saintess in the prologue was called Iris, and the priest was called Wynn (seemed to have made a mistake earlier)… Correcting it here.
PS: This volume will probably end in about five or six more chapters… Lancaster will definitely be defeated, but how he is defeated, you guys guess? (233)
