190 The Dark Crystal
The First Saint realized that something unexpected was going on. His pan had taken an unforeseen turn because of something else’s existence in the belly of the beast!
“Who is it?” The First Saint’s voice reverberated throughout the place.
No one bothered to respond to the voice.
Carla was thinking about what she could offer Xu Yuan to save the Thorn Fairy’s life. The more she thought about it, the more disappointed she became. She had nothing else to offer.
Xu Yuan would definitely not be interested in silly, ordinary things. He had taken the gem because it will help with his Lord’s ranking. However, Carla had nothing else that was of value, except…
Carla took a gamble. She had one thing in her territory that she hadn’t had the time to examine. Perhaps that might be enough to entice Xu Yuan.
A rhombus-shaped black crystal appeared before Carla. “Will this be enough?” she asked.
She was afraid Xu Yuan would reject it. However, Xu Yuan was no longer indifferent and lazy. He appeared suddenly alert.
The Dark Crystal. “You are lucky,” he said. “That thing is not of any importance to most people. But to me, I have a use for it yet.”
The Dark Crystal flew toward Xu Yuan. He snatched it from the air and swallowed it.
Burp!
“Not bad! I got a skill enhancement point!” Xu Yuan was satisfied.
“I have given you all I had,” said Carla. “It’s time you fulfilled your end of the bargain!” She was at her wit’s limit. She couldn’t hold on any longer.
“No!!!” Two voices reverberated. One was from the Thorn Fairy, who couldn’t watch her Lord die. The other was from the First Saint.
The First Saint couldn’t enter the arena and thus could only express his grievances through the pendant. The First Saint was in a dilemma. He couldn’t sense Xu Yuan, but he heard him. Xu Yuan was a threat.
“Hurry!” said Carla. “I… can’t… hold on any… longer. Please, keep your promise.”
Xu Yuan flapped his wings and flew into the air. The air from his wings created a storm that lifted the Thorn Fairy and swept her away.
“Stop!!!” shouted the First Saint. “Do you even know what you are doing?” he could finally see a blurry shadow through the pendant.
However, there was nothing the First Saint could do, other than shout at Xu Yuan.
“Dark Destructive Light!” Xu Yuan muttered softly as he activated his ability. A black pillar of light burst out from the lava. Carla was in the black pillar.
“Dark Demon Dragon?!” The First Saint discovered the identity of the existence that had thwarted his plan. “D*mn it! Why are you here?!”
The First Saint felt anger, helplessness, and uncertainty. No one knew how exactly powerful the Dark Demon Dragon was.
The Dark Demon Dragon was the stuff of myths and legends. He had once made the Light-Types and Dark-Types both tremble in fear. After that, the Dark Demon Dragon disappeared.
It was only recently that the Dark Demon Dragon had appeared in the Hero Plane once again. Even the First Saint didn’t know how powerful Xu Yuan was. The First Saint had encountered a mythical beast before, so he understood the strength of a mythical beast. As for the Dark Demon Dragon, the First Saint assumed he was as powerful as the mythical beasts.
The Dark Demon Dragon might even be an existence that could surpass the mythical level! However, he had chosen to descend to the Overlord Plane as a hero.
Even faced with a weakened Dark Demon Dragon, the First Saint couldn’t do anything but watch helplessly.
The black light washed over Carla. Her body began to dissipate bit by bit. This was the power of the Dark Destructive Light! It annihilated everything in its path.
Carla turned to look at the Thorn Fairy in her last moments. “Thank you for accompanying me on this journey,” she said softly.
The Thorn Fairy clenched her fists as she was blown to one of the pillars for safety.
If the Territory Core was intact, a hero could be resurrected in most cases. However, this was the dark light. It annihilated everything. Carla couldn’t be resurrected even if the Territory Core was intact.
When Carla’s body dissipated into a million tiny fragments of light, the Thorn Fairy received a notification in her mind.
Her contract with Lord Carla had ended!
The contract between a hero and a Lord could only be terminated if both parties were willing. Or if one of them died permanently…
The lava churned and the entire world shook. Carla’s death wasn’t the end.
“Hahaha!” The First Saint laughed hysterically. “It’s no use! It’s too late! Lord Lan Yu will wake up!”
The pendant broke in the dark light, and the First Saint’s voice disappeared.
Xu Yuan was facing a problem at this point. The power of the mythical beast formed a vortex. The suction effect of the vortex was so powerful that it was trying to pull Xu Yuan into it.
‘So, the Chaos Realm doesn’t work here…’
Xu Yuan was amused. His Chaos Realm didn’t work at that moment because the vortex wasn’t formed by any kind of elemental power. It was the mythical beast’s pure, unadulterated power!
