Chapter 320: The Imperial Light Execution

“You all heard it, right? The voice in our hearts. It seems to be another command from that person.”

Maryse crouched down, her fingers brushing her temple as if trying to locate the origin of the voice.

“This person has always been watching us… I was scared at first. I even tried hiding when bathing… But later, I figured it out. Someone like the Savior wouldn’t have such base desires. So, let’s just pretend that they are…”

Her voice trailed off.

She had intended to joke, “Let’s

just pretend He’s a clever and

talkative dog.” But Maryse

quickly swallowed her words,

realizing that Mu Ling wouldn’t

appreciate such irreverence.

Instead, she kept quiet,

glancing cautiously at her

companion.

“Yes, I heard it too,” Mu Ling

said gently, her gaze shifting

toward Aurora as she added,

“The Savior’s intentions are

always right. There’s no need

to question that. Let’s go.”

With deliberate grace, Mu Ling

extended her pale hand,

revealing a black crystal

resting upon her palm. The

relic shimmered with an

enigmatic beauty, catching

everyone’s attention.

“Thousands of Ruins,

Everything Is Used”

A legendary Ruin-level Relic—

one of the mythical Twenty-

Seven.

Even the deities themselves

would yearn for such an

artifact.

None of the three fully

understood its capabilities, but

they instinctively knew

anything gifted by the Savior

could not be ordinary.

Aurora nodded. “Let’s follow

the command. This land is

vast, and we’ve only scratched

its surface. It’s better to trust

the guidance of the being

above us than to wander

aimlessly.”

Maryse shrugged. Although

she often felt frustrated by the

Savior’s cryptic guidance, she

couldn’t deny the wisdom in

His commands.

Together, they returned to the

cloud platform where their

journey had begun. Everything

looked unchanged.

Mu Ling approached the

platform, holding the black

crystal. It floated into the air,

emitting a soft white glow

before unleashing an immense

gravitational force. The palace

wreckage before them began

to dissolve into shimmering

particles, drawn into the

crystal’s core.

It was like a black hole.

The three companions

watched in awe as the ruins of

a once-grand kingdom were

devoured. The wreckage

disintegrated into radiant

specks, consumed entirely by

the relic.

Amid the destruction, Mu Ling frowned. The crystal radiated heat, an ominous warning she couldn’t ignore.

“There’s something beneath the palace ruins,” she muttered. “I… I missed it.”

Aurora and Maryse stared at her, stunned.

“What could be hidden beneath such an enormous palace?” Aurora whispered, her voice tinged with unease.

“Something powerful,” Mu Ling replied, her tone firm. “But I cannot defy His will.”

Aurora hesitated but eventually nodded, understanding Mu Ling’s unwavering devotion. She knew this devout girl would never be swayed, no matter the danger.

As the last remnants of the palace vanished into the crystal, the ground beneath them trembled.

A deep, guttural voice resounded in their minds.

[Light God!]

[For ten thousand years, I have been imprisoned!]

[You have fallen, and now I rise under the sun once more!]

Aurora’s heart sank. The words confirmed her worst fears.

The Light God had fallen.

Before she could react, the ruins erupted, and a towering three-headed demon emerged, flames engulfing its massive form.

The creature’s voice boomed like an abyssal thunder, shaking the very air around them.

[I am the Demon Duke, Ernie,] it declared, its crimson eyes gleaming with malice. [Thanks to you, I am free.]

Maryse blinked. “So… is there a reward?”

The Demon Duke laughed—a sound dripping with mockery.

[Greedy mortals! I shall reward

you with eternal servitude—or

death.]

Its threat hung heavy in the air.

Mu Ling stepped forward, her

new weapon—a golden blade

imbued with divine patterns—

gleaming in her grasp.

“Demon,” she said coldly. “Your

words are meaningless.”

With a single strike, time

seemed to freeze. Mu Ling

appeared behind the demon,

her blade severing all three of

its heads in one fluid motion.

The demon’s body crumbled,

but its sinister presence

lingered.

Aurora tightened her grip on

her lance. “This isn’t over.”

She was right. The

disintegrating corpse

reformed, larger and more

menacing than before. The

Demon Duke now stood as a

colossal Flame Giant, its three

heads glaring down at them

with fiery hatred.

“Stay sharp!” Mu Ling shouted,

raising her blade.

The battle raged on.

Aurora’s divine power clashed

against the demon’s flames,

while Maryse unleashed her

perfected Deep Red – Divine

Punishment.

The three companions fought

valiantly, their strength and

unity tested against the

overwhelming might of the

Demon Duke.

As the battle reached its

climax, Mu Ling leaped into the

air, her blade glowing with an

otherworldly brilliance. With

one final strike, she plunged

the weapon into the demon’s

core, shattering it completely.

The Demon Duke let out a final,

deafening roar before its body

dissolved into ash.

Exhausted but triumphant, the

three stood amidst the

remnants of their enemy.

Aurora looked toward the

heavens, her heart heavy with

questions about the Savior’s

true intentions. Yet, as she

gazed at her companions—

brave, unwavering, and loyal—

she knew what she had to do.

For now, they would trust the

Savior and press on, united in

their resolve.
