Aldo began chanting the spell.
His hand was enveloped by numerous golden circles filled with ancient characters.
His eyes glowed with radiance.
That green light covered his entire body.
"Reestablish the rules..."
The incantation had commenced.
Schurke sighed, folding his arms as he watched the Demon Emperor Geogre.
The three Knights of the Far Lands also ceased fighting.
Alex and Liv were protecting Aldo as he cast his spell.
The blue flame was blazing at an unimaginable speed!
From barely a third earlier, it now consumed over half.
It continued to blaze intensely.
"Submit to me, Azure Flame Divine Sword!!!"
The flame burned even more fiercely!
Strange phenomena began to emerge.
"What is happening...!?"
Everyone in Qiu Yu City could feel it at that moment.
Sword of Love (Tình Kiếm) observed his mana bar.
【89%】
【86%】
【82%】
"Mana is continuously depleting!!!"
People started shouting.
Many Mages immediately activated 【Appraisal】.
Under the view of Appraisal, everything became clearer.
Everyone's mana was being drained and absorbed by the sea of flames.
Liv, with the ability of the Saintess, also sensed the source of this phenomenon and was astonished as she looked towards that sword.
"Is the Azure Flame Divine Sword resisting?"
Continuously, the flames grew stronger.
The rate at which they spread increased rapidly.
"Damn it...! If this keeps up, we won't be able to cast the spell before the Sea of Flames reestablishes itself!!!"
Alex gritted his teeth, looking at the spreading flames.
All eyes were fixed on those flames.
And the struggle between the Demon Emperor Geogre and the Azure Flame Divine Sword.
No one in Qiu Yu City could stop him at this moment.
The locals couldn't touch the flames; the players were too weak.
Schurke calmly watched as the flames spread.
His job was mostly done; he just had to wait for the event to conclude to earn the points...
Sword of Love silently observed the scene before him.
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
"Hey, old man."
"Kid, my name is Alex, Emperor Alex. Don't be disrespectful."
"Whatever. Why isn't anyone stopping those flames?"
"The Sea of Flames is not something locals can touch. Their bodies would be burned to ashes instantly. Only players can interact with it."
"Even we, the Knights of the Far Lands, would face instant destruction if we confronted those flames."
Sword of Love contemplated.
"So, are you ready to die?"
"?"
. . .
DMG Headquarters.
Everyone was experiencing a sense of helplessness.DMG has completely lost control at Qiu Yu City.
"Damn it. We should’ve sent more Knights of the Far Lands!!!" Tofu gritted his teeth.
"Each Knight of the Far Lands costs us so much. Sending more might not solve the situation with that Schurke."
"He's really just toying with us."
Tofu buried his head on the table, groaning.
"Is there no other way..."
Snow Vixen stared at the notifications appearing, her eyes suddenly widening.
"T-there's still a chance."
She immediately dragged the notification to the large screen.
【Teleportation Gate Suppression Time Is Ending.】
Director Minh and Tofu widened their eyes at once.
"Is DMG’s special task force already prepared at the gates?"
"Yes, just waiting for the order."
"How long until the Suppression ends? Calculate the time it takes for those flames to re-establish."
Tofu and Snow Vixen continuously typed on their computers, examining the data.
"In about 5 minutes, the Suppression ends!" Snow Vixen shouted.
"In about 15 minutes, at this increasing rate, the flames will re-establish. It could be faster if there are variables!"
Director Minh looked at the data displayed, sweating.
"Only 10 minutes…"
He swallowed hard.
"Alright! Get all teams in position, ready!"
Ring ring ring.
Suddenly, Snow Vixen's phone rang.
"S-sorry!"
"No time to go outside and answer it, just take it right here," Director Minh sighed, turning away.Snow Vixen blushed, looking at the name of the caller.
"No One...?"
Director Minh immediately turned back to look at her.
Since when did she have No One's phone number?
"What did you say!? Are you joking!? The situation is incredibly chaotic right now!"
"How can you even think about this when Qiu Yu City is in such a mess!"
"..."
Snow Vixen silently listened on the phone.
Director Minh also didn't take his eyes off her.
What's going on here?
Snow Vixen sighed.
"Alright. If anything happens, you have to take responsibility."
Right after that, Snow Vixen hung up.
"Sorry, boss, I have something to take care of."
She hurriedly ran out of the room.
Huh...?
He was completely stunned.
No One, what have you done to take responsibility for this?
Huh? Snow Vixen just started playing games recently, and you're already playing bad boy online?
Do gamers play like this these days?
But there are more important matters right now!
Qiu Yu City is about to burn to ashes!!!
.
.
.
In the subconscious of the Demon Emperor Geogre.
Unholda Kaiser’s body was disintegrating.
Countless fragmented memories lay on his body, consumed by those flames until they disappeared.
His legs had been reduced to ashes, leaving only his upper body.
His vacant eyes gazed into the current pitch-black space.
He was about to vanish.
The Unholda Kaiser part of his being was about to completely disappear.
From now on, this body would be under the ownership of Geogre’s Inner Demon.
A death devoid of any climax.
He couldn't close his eyes.
Closing his eyes now would mean accepting a peaceful departure.
Within him, there was scarcely any resistance left.
This helpless feeling, like when Emily was by his side.
"Don’t try anymore, it's too late."
Like the words Geogre spoke then.
"I am not heartless, you can stay by his side in his final moments, give him a peaceful death."
If only Emily were here now.
Even if it took his last bit of strength, he would hold her tightly.
"Emily."
"I wish she were by my side right now."
Unholda Kaiser absentmindedly looked into the endless night.
The darkness seemed to be engulfing him.
His eyes remained open.
With this death, he truly couldn't close his eyes.The flames consumed his body.
They gradually spread to his head.
The helmet was melting directly onto his face.
He no longer felt any pain.
The fragments of memories scattered on the helmet were also slipping away into the endless night.
A small piece of memory suddenly touched his skin.
That memory turned golden, then pink.
"Sleep soundly."
"When you awaked, You're still the man I love the most."
The image of Emilia resting his head on her lap appeared.
She used her hand to shield his face from the tiny raindrops.
Even though she didn't realize those transparent raindrops were falling all over his face.
Her hair was disheveled.
Her face showed a gentle, loving smile.
She cradled his head in her arms.
"Good night... Good night..."
"This world has been too cruel to the person I love most."
.
.
.
The Azure Flame Divine Sword was burning more fiercely than ever.
Its blade was emitting a brilliant blue light.
The Demon Emperor Geogre was insanely excited!
Just a little longer, and the Azure Flame Divine Sword will submit to him.
He will become the newest Demon God of this world.
The Demonic Path...! Just one step away!!!
