Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 496: Mysterious Girl
“Ze’er!”
The other Great Sages’ eyes were filled with hatred upon seeing their Earth-element compatriot slain.
“Worry about yourselves first!”
Xi Wei, having broken free from the three control spells, grinned sinisterly. His originally azure eyes had turned into golden vertical pupils, within which flames could be seen burning. The Red Dragon Bloodline was fully activated, his body swelling by a circumference and his entire being exuding steam. If he exerted himself this much when plowing fields, Ruo Yi and Loli would surely yelp in pain from the heat.
His longsword slashed vertically. The plundering effect of the War Divinity shattered the magic element structure, and the ten layers of ice armor were instantly destroyed. The Young Woman-faced Great Sage wailed as she was sent flying, leaving only an arm gripping a staff behind.
Seeing the situation turn dire, the other Great Sages attempted to flee. However, it was as if the King of Winter had eyes on the back of his head. His speed was like lightning. With a reach of his left and right hands, he grabbed two Great Sages who were attempting to tear open scrolls to escape. Then, he forcefully brought his hands together. The two heads collided, exploding like watermelons.
Now, half of the eight Great Sages had been lost.
The Space-element Great Sage fled the fastest. He didn’t need to tear open any scrolls; he directly slipped into space. At this point, he didn’t care about companions; survival was the most important thing. The remaining three Great Sages also produced scrolls.
Xi Wei frowned upon seeing this, turned his head, and roared in the direction of the three Great Sages. This roar sounded like a thunderclap. The Players surrounding and fighting the Golem Soldiers shivered in fear. A golden lion roared out from Xi Wei’s body, transforming into a circular shockwave that struck the three Great Sages.
Just as the three Great Sages were about to tear open their scrolls, their vision went black, their ears filled with lead, and then their brains throbbed as if struck by a giant hammer. When they came to their senses, they were already kicked to the ground, their backsides burning painfully. The transfer scrolls were kicked away by the King of Winter, rolling into nearby embers and burning into a pile of black ash.
“Surrender or die!”
Xi Wei held the Conqueror’s Longsword, its blade hanging over the three Great Sages’ heads like a guillotine. His voice was as cold as the ice of the far north.
“We will not surrender.”
Even after being subdued, these Great Sages remained stubborn.
“King of Winter, if you ally yourself with the Old Gods, you will eventually be backstabbed by them. You are doomed to die. Kill us, and we will await you in hell.”
Another Great Sage looked equally expressionless, clearly ready to die. Xi Wei was amused by these Great Sages, who were as unyielding as dead pigs to boiling water:
“Good, very good! So you know you’re going to hell after you die, do you? Then now, I’ll give you a quick end. Remember to tell Satan that the King of Winter is happy to help!”
With that, the Conqueror’s Longsword, wreathed in Qi, was about to descend. The three Great Sages also closed their eyes, accepting their fate. They were Great Sages of the Kalunka Empire. They bore the honor of the Empire. Surrendering insulted their character and insulted the entire Kalunka Empire. They could accept being humiliated, but when it came to the reputation of Kalunka, they would rather die than yield.
“Seal!”
A faint sigh echoed. The surrounding space suddenly froze. When the sigh disappeared, Xi Wei found that he could no longer move. It turned out that it wasn’t the surrounding space that was sealed, but his body. Near the three Great Sages, space shattered into snowflake-like fragments, and a silver-white teleportation vortex appeared, fluctuating with the distortion of the shattered space. Countless silver light spots gradually emerged from within. They intertwined and spread, eventually condensing into the figure of a girl.
She was also wearing a moon-white magic robe, adorned with gold thread depicting the sun, moon, and stars. However, the patterns on her robe were far more complex and profound than those on the three Great Sages on the ground. Clearly, she was also a Great Sage of some kind, but her identity and strength were undoubtedly much higher than the other Great Sages present. The sealing power was akin to a rule. Xi Wei found that all his efforts could not move him. Only by activating the War Divinity could he barely manage to move his head and eyes, looking towards the girl.
“Hmm, you can still move? As expected of someone eroded by the power of the Old Gods…”
The girl murmured in surprise and said nothing more. She picked up the arm lying on the ground and slowly walked to the Young Woman-faced Great Sage. At this moment, the Young Woman-faced Great Sage had fallen unconscious due to excessive blood loss.
“Without the support of the Magic Net, even self-healing ability is gone…”
The girl pursed her lips. Then, she placed the severed arm against the cut at the Great Sage’s shoulder. Her red lips parted slightly: “Heal!” Countless green light spots flew out from the cut. They fluttered onto the wound like fireflies. Flesh and blood began to grow at the wound. Soon, the severed arm was perfectly reattached. The remaining green light spots drilled into the Young Woman-faced Great Sage’s body. Before long, she woke up from her unconsciousness.
“Esteemed Chairman…” The Young Woman-faced Great Sage looked ashamed. “I am sorry, we lost… Lord Meimaluo is also dead… We didn’t expect this King of Winter’s strength to be so unfathomable…”
