Chapter 208 Redemption
Chapter 208 Redemption
The collapsing sky unleashed calamity upon the earth, and countless sparks exploded in the battle between the Ultra Beasts and the Giants of Light, resulting in a complete stalemate.
The monsters, desperate to escape, were in a panic. They had used all their abilities to fight the otherworldly monsters, but it was a battle on a completely different level. Giganchimera ruled the world like a demon.
Another clash of light and heat ensued, and King Pandon's two heads collided with the giant of light. The flames he hadn't finished spewing from his mouth rained down on the ground, creating a fiery storm that raged in all directions.
The winged pegasus, whose wings had been broken in the previous battle, crawled with difficulty, but the speed was too slow and the pain too great. While the other beasts galloped away into the distance, it was left writhing and swaying its limbs on the scorched earth.
A fiery storm swept in like a tidal wave, crushing the winged pegasus's figure into a tiny speck, about to disappear completely.
A giant bird with fiery feathers descended from the sky and landed on the road, protecting the winged pegasus by spreading its huge wings to block the heat. Zeta dispersed most of the flames released by the otherworldly monsters, and the monsters could now handle the current crisis on their own.
"Search the entire surrounding area and bring back any surviving monsters safely!"
"They fight for the world; they are warriors of peace. Like us, they are brave men who confront darkness and usher in the light!"
A group of uniformed mages arrived at this disaster site from afar. The one leading the group was a young girl who, despite her young age, held a prestigious position among the mages.
After the Flame Feathered Giant Bird led the injured Pegasus away from the danger zone, the girl immediately stepped forward to help, her majesty still intact, but with an added touch of tenderness.
A magical orb capable of healing giant beasts instantly formed in the girl's hand. With a wave of her hand, the pretty girl saved a life on the verge of death, and then she went on to save more.
"Elifa, the place ahead is where the hero is fighting the otherworldly monster. You can't go there without any protective gear."
"Our monster partners risk their lives to fight for us, how can I be scared away by such a small danger! That kind of thing can't scare me."
"This is no joke. Just getting you to come along was already the limit. Don't you understand? What if something happens to you?!"
When the topic of herself was brought up again, Elifa's expression turned serious; she didn't like being treated differently.
"How am I any different from everyone else? Is it wrong for me to want to save more lives?!"
"Just because you are the chairman's daughter, I cannot let you take any risks! Your life doesn't belong to you alone; the chairman's greatest fear is that something bad will happen to you!"
The heavy atmosphere between people did not change the tense environment on the battlefield. In the distance, the golden and silver dragons in the sky were simultaneously gathering power in their mouths, and five pairs of eyes were watching Zeta's movements, allowing the calamity beams to sweep back and forth across him.
The strange changes on the horizon threatened people in an instant. The aftershocks of the calamity that wiped out the earth's surface stirred up mudslides and rocks, and the sky was filled with rocks and dust, obscuring all people's vision.
Behind it were the humans who had guided it. The Flame Feathered Giant Bird stepped forward to protect the crowd, its wings radiating flames as it desperately tried to resist the onslaught of the calamity.
Once the strange tremors subsided, people emerged from the suffocating pile of ash and dirt. The surrounding air had become unusually murky and hot, and all that could be seen was a vast expanse of gray, deathly stillness.
Elifa, covered in dirt and grime, tried to get up, completely ignoring the rocks, mud, and foul air around her. All she wanted was to get as fast as possible to save the life that had saved her.
Half of the Flamefeathered Giant Bird's wing was buried in the soil, while the other half of its body was exposed with multiple bleeding wounds. The monster's blood and ash had congealed into an indescribable clump, scattered across the ground, acting as the Flamefeathered Giant Bird's way of expressing its pain.
"No, no, this can't be! There's still time! You'll survive! Hang in there!"
Elifa strained every muscle in her body, trying to quickly assemble a healing orb. She didn't want to witness the tragedy repeat itself; there had been far too many tragedies already.
As Elifa touched the Flamefeathered Giant Bird's body, it gradually cooled down. During this time, Elifa longed to hear the Flamefeathered Giant Bird make a sound, even a painful wail, so that Elifa would know it was still alive.
"Why, why isn't it working! It was working perfectly before..."
"Get out of here quickly, Elifa! The otherworldly monsters are attacking again! Get down!"
A dark, menacing figure swept through the hazy gray environment as Gigachimera chased after the giant of light, soaring through the air. Its 500-meter-tall form was enough to stir up a giant wind with just its movement, instantly blowing away the gray dust that had engulfed the area.
The tiny humans could only huddle under the rocks that had nearly crushed them, seeking a brief respite from the wind and rain—one of the few ways they could survive.
"Who will save us! Who can help us?!"
The girl's prayers went unanswered. Her innocent and beautiful wish, like the giant bird with fiery feathers she wanted to save, was vulnerable when disaster struck and vanished without a trace when calamity passed.
Once the Ultra Beasts had gone, people scrambled to their feet from their hiding places, gazing at the chaotic landscape around them, and then at their own bodies, which had been barely holding on until they were almost numb...
They really didn't know if they could keep going.
"Elifa, cough cough, where are you going..."
The rescue team's guards had just protected Elifa from the attack when they saw her still unwilling to give up, combining spells. She ran around trying to find the strongest point where she could sense the magic, while desperately hoping to see the giant flaming bird again.
"Why won't it work... I clearly followed Father's instructions to cast the spell, but why can't I save that life..."
Elifa, desperately wanting to create magic, gradually lost control of her emotions. Her body trembled uncontrollably, her eyes glistened with tears, and she watched the orbs of light in her hands gradually dissipate.
It drifted away little by little into the distance...
"Wait a minute, why does the dispersion of light have a direction? This should be impossible."
"Where are these lights going? Who is summoning them...?"
"Or are they going to save someone?"
The places destroyed by Ultra Beasts are left with only ruins and destruction, but that is only a disappearance of form; the energy contained within them has never dissipated.
Even if the anti-magic storm of otherworldly technology is so powerful that it blots out the sky, preventing humans from using these spells, magic itself will not wait for its demise.
The world needs a hero who doesn't need to be summoned, doesn't need revenge as fuel, and doesn't need honor as a guide.
He is a born hero. The other world rejected and destroyed him, so this world will cherish and nurture him once again.
