Chapter 176 You Are Like the Dawn
Warm light! Dispel the shadows!
In this moment of utter despair, a clear and melodious voice, like that of a lark, came from behind, like a ray of sunlight piercing through layers of dark clouds, shining brightly upon the earth.
Turning back in astonishment, I saw Hikari still sitting comfortably on Pegasus's back, her head tilted back, one hand outstretched with her palm facing upwards, and her left hand pressed against her chest as if she were holding something. Her posture was like a plea or a declaration, and there was no fear on her delicate and beautiful face.
On her palm, a ball of light radiated a warm, shimmering light that was not dazzling. It was reflected deep within her clear, bright eyes, firm and unwavering, like a clean mirror, with brilliant light flowing from its edges, surrounding her as if it were a real entity.
Just like the halo surrounding the sun as it rises, displaying a bright rainbow of light from the inside out.
Then, at that moment, I clearly saw a phantom of pure white light flicker around her for a moment, then split into two halves from the center. One part sank down along the girl's straight body and spread outwards, while the other part gradually condensed along her raised right hand and struggled upwards.
The downward part outlines transparent ring-shaped magic patterns, while the upward part forms a pure white ring and unfolds tiny wings to both sides!
That's actually a French ring!
No matter how faint or unstable it may be, I will never mistake that form!
With its unique patterns and an aura completely different from when the magic array was activated, the girl's delicate body was enveloped in a different aura. Coupled with her eyes that began to exude the truth of magic, this was almost impossible to fake.
Everyone who witnessed this scene, even those who didn't know what it represented, was still stunned speechless by such a sacred posture. Yet the girl who created this miracle remained oblivious, maintaining her raised posture, and suddenly looked at me with her eyes that shone with clear golden-white light.
"Mr. Yumi!"
Her voice, clear and melodious like a lark's, made me nod slightly. I focused my attention again and turned to the corpse dragon, which was frozen in place, stunned by the light.
Regardless of how Hikari did it, that's not something to think about right now.
Moreover, an increase in combat power is always a good thing for us, even if it's just as a supplementary force.
Warm light fell from behind, like a pebble thrown into a lake, rippling outwards from the girl, passing through the woods, and finally disappearing into the distance and beneath the collapsed stone wall.
My spirits lifted, my physical strength and magic were restored, and the dark shadows that had been growing in my heart were merely swept by the light and melted away like snow in an instant. Then I felt a warmth and peace from the light that had been injected into the depths of my heart, and a firm belief and strength were born once again.
Even the previously restless Pegasus regained its composure and nimbly wandered around the now open space.
On the other side, the corpse dragon affected by the diffused light showed a completely different reaction. It not only wailed as it retreated, but its already broken and decaying body surface also showed strange signs.
Rotten chunks of flesh flowed down the body of the corpse dragon like water as it retreated, but before they could even touch the ground, a phantom flame shining with a pure white light ignited from its center, burning away the chunks of flesh and the stench it emitted, leaving only a few refined scales that still shimmered with luster and curved dragon horns.
I was overjoyed. This single move almost determined the course of the battle, turning the situation from being suppressed to completely dominating the opponent.
Before the corpse dragon could launch its final counterattack, the additional lightning it summoned easily cleaved through the tattered skin.
The imposing white bones crashed to the ground, raising dust and debris, which were then dispersed by the wind magic, revealing the flesh and bones being purified into pure white by the fire, and the eerie blue flames hovering in mid-air, trembling restlessly.
"……what happened?"
A sound came from the other end, accompanied by a faint cough and an overwhelming chill. Looking up, one could see the [Frost Sword], which had been unexpectedly blasted into the collapsed rock wall earlier.
Her clothes were torn and ripped, but surprisingly, there were no other serious injuries. It was as if she wasn't the one who had been blasted away. She was still lively and energetic.
"We have to thank that girl for this."
In response to my question, Shen Xue tossed her dust-covered, ice-blue hair and casually tied it into a knot: "I did suffer a minor injury before, but it's almost healed now."
As she spoke, she spread her hands, revealing a layer of shimmering white color that was about to disappear.
"Are you really alright?" I asked anxiously.
Wiping the dust from the corner of her mouth, Shen Xue nodded and shifted her gaze to the only flame still leaping in the distance—the previously eerie blue flame had now been completely stained pure white, giving it a gentler feel—she raised an eyebrow slightly and asked again, "What is this?"
I shook my head: "I don't know... I've been observing this thing ever since I noticed it, but the conclusion I've come to is that it's just an extremely concentrated condensation of magic, and I don't know anything more about it." I paused, then added, "However, based on the location of this flame just now, its shape, and some rumors I've heard before, I do have a vague guess."
