Chapter 239 239:Calm Before Storm
The future might be bleak, but you're not the one responsible for it.
You don't need to drown in guilt and blame yourself for other misfortunes.
Regrets won't change yesterday.
Anxiety won't change tomorrow.
Just give it all and ram the ones you need to ram in the present.
As if the first line was saying just do what you need to gain the power and don't think much.
At the time, from the corner of his eyes, he noticed the face of a white-haired woman far away from the crowd.
For a moment, everything in his line of sight became blurred, and fair words echoed.
"Do it and leave the aftermath to me."
However, when he finally used it, he felt it….
There was more than what lurks in this power and in him.
The figure of madness appeared before him.
"Finally, we can combine.."
The synergy between him and his Martial Spirit or, to say, the power allowed him to combine with Martial Spirit to display his full power wasn't possible before.
And more than that…..
It allows his two sides to finally meet.
The grit and integrity of his morals, along with the psychopathic madness hidden in the depth of his soul.
It was time for the world to witness the Madness of the sinner.
...…
"Noooooo!"
Irina's voice pierced the surroundings upon seeing Leon getting stabbed.
The moment Seph's sword pierced Leon, Irina's mind went blank. Letting go of everything, she dashed forward, but she wasn't the only one.
BOOOOOOOM!
A bloody explosion erupted, sending shockwaves of flames surging like a tide, threatening to burn down everything in its path.
"Leon....Leon..."
A sharp stabbing pain coursed through Irina's body. It felt as if her heart had been stabbed and torn into shreds.
She had been worried about losing Leon the moment she saw him going crazy. She tried to ease her pain and comfort him, but those dead eyes didn't seem to brighten; rather, they became darker and darker.
Tears started to trickle from Sophia, and as they slid down her cheeks and touched the ground, the earth melted into lava with a burst of flame.
As Sophia's transformation began, her body became engulfed in a blazing inferno of fire, radiating waves of intense heat like a nuclear explosion.
Flames danced around her form, licking at the air with fervent energy.
Her skin shimmered with the fiery glow as if molten lava coursed beneath the surface. The air crackled with the raw power of her transformation, sending shockwaves rippling through the atmosphere.
She wasn't the only one.
Irina's body also underwent a great metamorphosis…
Her icy white hair turned silver with locks of ice forming on it. Her skin crackled with a layer of ice covering her.
Fire and ice intertwined, creating a loud blast that drew everyone's attention.
"Shit!"
Screaming, Arthur pulled Su Lin, Gwen, and Feng Ruoxi, who were so dazed that they weren't able to react.
While the two girls went crazy, Gwen and Su Lin staggered and almost lost consciousness, unable to bear the intense emotions, their brains seeming to be forcefully shut off.
And with a burst of speed, Arthur ran as far away as possible.
"Why the hell am I the one who has to get caught in a ceasefire?"
"DAMNNNNN!"
As Arthur cursed his life and bad luck, a soothing voice echoed in his ears.
"Honey, leave this to me."
A chilling breeze accompanied by a solar flare shook everything to the core, but before it could get out of control, an illusive figure materialized before Sophia and Irina.
She gently flicked their foreheads.
The moment she did this.
SWOOSH!
The fire and icy blast disappeared as if they never occurred. The distorting qi rampaging around also disappeared.
The qi of the two girls was locked, and their bodies returned to normal.
Irina snapped out of her dazed state and screamed in bewilderment.
"Mother..."
"LEOO….LEON…."Irina's voice choked, and her throat became dry.
Seeing this, Lia hugged her and pointed to her.
"SSSSHHHH" She just smiled by putting a finger on Irina's lips.
Then, looking at bewildered Sophia, she extended her hand to caress her hair.
"Don't avert your eyes and don't even dare to blink now, because the real thing is just beginning now."
...…
The surroundings were blasted.
The entire venue had already been reduced to tatters.
The great estates that had existed for centuries were hardly in shape anymore.
As the intense battle between the ghost army and the big family raged on, clashes of qi, blood, and steel echoing throughout the battlefield came to a sudden halt, and an eerie silence descended upon the scene.
The soldiers on both sides paused mid-fight, their weapons held in mid-air as if frozen in time. The once frenzied atmosphere was replaced by a palpable sense of anxiety, fear, shock, and disbelief.
The leaders of both the ghost army and the big family stood frozen in disbelief, their expressions a mixture of shock and confusion.
They exchanged wary glances, unsure of how to proceed in the sudden stillness that enveloped the battlefield.
"What's going on?"
"Is this over?"
"God….It's over…"
"THANK GOD!"
The mercenaries and the remaining soldiers almost cried because what they fought wasn't anything less than a nightmare. After all, no matter how many times they were killed, the opponent didn't die.
Whispers of uncertainty spread among the soldiers, adding to the tense atmosphere. Fearful murmurs filled the air as they anxiously awaited the next turn of events, unsure if this eerie calm signaled the calm before an even greater storm.
Amid the silence, the realization dawned upon every one that though it was over, the lives lost weren't insignificant.
The biggest wedding of the century was turned into the biggest bloody massacre.
"My Master" Hella's whole body shivered. Her body pulsated with a strange energy that seemed to break out of her body, but before she would lose herself, Synder knocked her head.
"Whom are you worrying about? Do you think we meager ones can fathom our Liege's power?"
"Yes, Hella, calm down," Terpas muttered.
"Yes, our Liege will win," Avelin muttered with a sly smile.
"They think it's over, but little did they know that what was about to come next would blow their minds."
"Mercy….Pleas….Begging….Everything will be naught when our Liege runs wild."
