Under this immense pressure, her limbs inevitably ruptured and bled.
Blood trickled slowly down her arms and legs, staining large sections of her clothes red.
Even the corners of her mouth were bleeding from the overload of magic.
But the more blood she lost, the more deafening the low, booming bell tolled.
Knock knock—
Thump thump thump—
The heart beats faster and faster in the chest, with each beat becoming more and more intense.
Even though Aurelion was high in the sky, the dull rumble from her heart was so exaggerated that it could be heard all over the world.
Surrounded by this roaring sound,
The patterns on Aurelion's body became more intricate and complex.
The layers of formations became even more solid and dazzling under the restoration of brilliant magic.
It seemed to form a domed wall standing at the top of the world.
Loki, seeing Aurelion in agony, called out her name loudly:
"Aurelian!"
“Gwen, as a knight, has her own sense of justice, which I can understand,”
"But since you have already abandoned the throne, why do you still insist on it so bitterly?"
Aurelion supported the massive magic circle; although her body radiated a dazzling light, it could not conceal the trembling within her.
But her voice remained unwavering:
"Nonsense! If I don't persist, won't I still die in the end?!"
Aurelion was perfectly aware that the Forge of Eternity did not make her invincible.
Since she's going to die anyway, why not let her resist?
"I don't care about the lives and safety of those ignorant masses!"
"All I know is that I want to live, and more importantly, I want to keep this world alive!"
"I will hold on until the teacher returns, so that he can see this world, though riddled with holes, it has not yet collapsed!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the ethereal chanting that rose from the ground grew louder and louder, transforming from its initial haziness to its current clarity.
Surrounded by countless demi-humans, the grasslands and seas of flowers, rooted in the soil, seemed to be summoned.
They swayed and trembled in the soil.
Immediately afterwards, huge flower buds broke through the soil one by one, and rapidly expanded and grew surrounded by flowers and plants.
These flower buds opened, revealing peaceful and natural spirits inside.
With peaceful expressions and slightly closed eyes, they appeared beside Cocotte.
They joined in singing along with the music emanating from around Koko.
At that moment, countless spirits appeared on the earth.
They all joined the elven chorus, filling the entire world with song.
Finally, even the councilors who had become gods in the sky gradually awoke to the gentle song.
They raised their heads in a daze, looking up at the sky, at the city of mages that was falling into the world.
Thor, wielding Mjolnir, immediately widened his eyes and shouted:
"Woof!"
The other councilors also realized what was happening, their eyes widening in astonishment.
"What, what is that!?"
"Endymion is falling!?"
After seeing the scene before them clearly, they suddenly felt utterly desperate.
However, they soon became puzzled by what was happening.
Endymion, who was falling, seemed to be stuck in mid-air, and his descent speed slowed down.
The moment the thought arose, they felt a powerful and profound magic, as rich as a vast ocean, surging towards the sky.
Then, they looked down at the sky.
They saw the councilors who had remained on the ground.
Haim Horn, Ryan Kent, and even Lorelei Fanny.
Beside them, a powerful magic circle shimmered brightly, and a large amount of magic power burst forth into the sky.
Their faces were filled with exhaustion and pain.
Even so, they still demonstrated a strength and perseverance beyond their age group.
To do one's part in preventing Endymion's fall.
The other members of the Mage Council were also overworked, their faces pale and their bodies swaying precariously.
Many people collapsed one after another, but they showed great willpower and struggled to get up, quickly drinking the medicine that had been prepared in advance.
They will not give up until they face certain death.
And then there's Kokot, the Elf Queen, surrounded by a large number of elves.
They emanate a peaceful and gentle natural power, as refreshing as a spring breeze.
The distant singing seemed to be a hymn to the rebirth of this world.
Finally, these councilors, who had become gods, looked up at the sky and gazed in the direction of Aurelion.
The place was dazzling and radiant.
Aurelion was bathed in starlight, as lofty and majestic as the moon and stars.
Through the dazzling light, they could clearly see the former empress.
Driven by the high-pressure magic, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his face turned deathly pale.
The more pressure is applied to release magic power, the more severe the damage to the body seems to become.
But it seems that the more pain she endures, the stronger the power she summons becomes.
Her actions seemed to be as if she wanted to squeeze every last drop of blood out of herself.
Finally, Aurelion, using almost all her remaining strength, roared it out.
"I want to tell him! I saved this world!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gwen gathered all her strength.
She swung her sword down suddenly, and a cold, pale light, accompanied by a roaring blizzard, fiercely slashed towards Endymion.
Swish—
A shockwave erupted, causing the space to tremble violently.
The outlines of countless spaces revealed large, grotesque cracks under this attack, almost causing the wind to freeze for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, nearly a million magic arrays suspended in the sky followed suit, releasing their true power.
At that moment, the world fell into dead silence.
The world lost its color, and the patterns vanished.
The immense magical power surged and swirled, like an ocean of light sweeping across the entire cloudscape, and then roared towards an even higher and more distant space.
Buzz—
In the silence that followed the sharp cry, only Aurelion's voice could be heard.
The sound resounded throughout the light-covered world:
"Am I qualified this time?!"
[Rejecting all laws, the sacred essence remains forever silent]
