Chapter 569: The Demon Finally Realized ( PS Bonus Chapter )

Then the second seal of the crown also broke.

Lian felt something tearing inside his mind.

He forcibly cut the connection, and the remaining seals separated from the dragon’s arm, and the crown returned to his possession.

He put one knee on the ground.

His breathing was heavy.

For a few moments, he could not even see the scene in front of him clearly.

But the chain had been restored again, and the Demon of End could no longer move its arm as far as it could a few seconds ago.

He wiped the blood under his nose with the back of his hand, they had succeeded, not in defeating the Demon, they were not even close to that.

They had only managed to take away part of the freedom it had just gained again.

But even that was not a small result against such a creature.

Seris landed beside him.

The Ancestral Mark on her hand had become hot, and a red mark could be seen around the golden lines.

Her fingers trembled for a moment.

The young Vorhelm noticed it, it was not only him who was under great pressure, everything they were doing was putting direct pressure on their souls apart from the physical pressure.

"Can you still continue?"

She nodded, but this time she did not move immediately, she took a few calm breaths and closed her hand once.

Then she raised her sword.

The Moon Manifestation behind her was almost complete, and there was not much time left before her stats received a temporary 100% increase.

Lian focused his eyes on the distance, one main corrupted ring was still left, a ring through which an important part of the commands of the prison’s core was passing.

If they could cleanse it, the silver corruption would lose a large part of its power and everything would return under control and then they would have the chance to directly deal with the Silver Elf.

He looked at the girl.

"Seris, one more time."

Seris nodded, she did not ask any questions and had no hesitation, she only held her sword more tightly.

Through the Colony Link, Lian ordered One and Two to remain on the two sides of the remaining path.

Two activated one of his Disasters and disrupted the movement path of the dragon’s head for a moment.

Despite his injuries, One moved beside the healthy part of the platform so that if the claw came down again, he could use the remaining strength in his body to slightly change the path of the attack.

The Demon of End was still angry, but the restored chains had limited its movement more.

The young Vorhelm used that opportunity.

[Myriad Presence Mirage] activated again.

Five fake presences appeared in different parts of the battlefield.

The dragon quickly understood that they were not real, but while moving its head and claw and following Lian, it was forced to divide its attention for a moment.

At that moment, Lian used [Ashen Thunder Step] to reach the corrupted ring and [True Trail] revealed the real path of the corruption.

The silver network was still connected to the ring from several points, and his remaining Eclipse energy was no longer large.

So this time, he could not corrupt all the paths of light like before.

He could only destroy one corruption center, and because of that, he chose the most important remaining corruption center.

Then he turned his head toward the young Pendragon.

"The same point I showed you."

Seris raised her sword, the moon behind her became complete, and for a moment, a huge silver moon formed above the platform.

All the scattered lights around her turned toward it, and mana gathered on the blade of her sword.

[Full Moon Rend]

She moved her sword, and a huge slash of silver light moved along the marked path.

Not toward the main chain but directly toward the corrupted layer that had formed over the golden structure.

KRRRRRAAAAAASH!

The defense of the corruption center was split open, and the threads around it separated from each other for a moment.

Lian reached out his right hand, the last thread of Eclipse energy passed through the opening.

It reached the center of the corruption.

TSSSSSS!

Blackness spread from the center of the node, and the silver structure collapsed within a few moments.

Seris immediately activated the Ancestral Mark, and golden light flowed through the entire ring.

The real commands of the seal arrays returned to their true paths one after another, and the huge ring lit up at full power for the first time since they entered.

The chains connected to it were pulled, and the neck of the Demon of End moved several meters lower, its free arm was also pulled back into a smaller range.

The sea of red mist became calm for a moment, and even the sound of the chains became quieter.

Lian stood on the damaged platform and took a deep breath, his armor had many cracks, and his right arm hurt.

His soul was still extremely tired from the pressure of the Crown of Eight Paths but, they had done it, an important part of the seal had been restored.

He turned his eyes toward the Silver Elf, the creature was no longer smiling, the corruption had not been completely destroyed, but several of its main paths had been destroyed.

Even if she intended to continue the operation, it was no longer as easy as before.

And right at that moment, something moved inside Lian’s body.

Thump.

He held his breath for a moment, this heartbeat was not coming from the Eclipse Core, he immediately understood the difference.

The thing that had now moved was deeper.

In a space that even the System could not properly identify, something had made a sound.

Ruined Heart.

For a moment, he felt that familiar heavy feeling inside his chest.

It was more like the heartbeat of an existence that had been completely silent until a few seconds ago.

Thump!

This time, it was even heavier than before.

He lowered his eyes, what had happened?

No System message appeared, and no new ability activated, only that heartbeat had suddenly appeared from nowhere.

Why had the heart suddenly reacted? Had it sensed something?

And farther away, the Demon of End suddenly became still, the dragon’s huge eye fixed on Lian.

Until a few seconds ago, its only goal had been to become free, it had angrily pulled the chains, attacked Seris, and asked the Silver Elf to continue the release operation.

But now it was not looking at any of them.

Even the chains that had been pulled around its body again no longer caught its attention.

Its entire existence was focused on Lian.

The sudden silence of a creature of that size, after all the previous roars and explosions, was stranger than the battle itself.

The Pendragon noticed the change and for some reason, she felt an ominous feeling and raised her sword.

Lian had still not moved, he was also looking at the dragon, something in that creature’s eyes had changed.

It was no longer only anger, disbelief? No.

Something deeper, something much deeper.

It was as if the Demon of End had seen something that it had never expected to see, something it believed was impossible to see.

The silence continued for a few seconds.

Then a huge voice spread throughout the entire prison.

"I understand!"

The young Vorhelm frowned, and Seris moved one step closer to him.

The Silver Elf also turned her head toward the Demon, the dragon pushed its huge neck forward as far as the chains allowed.

Its red eyes were fixed on Lian.

"No..."

This time, its voice was strange, almost a whisper, but even the whisper of a creature of that size could be heard throughout the entire prison.

"No... impossible..."

He said nothing, he did not even know what the Demon was talking about.

Eclipse energy? No.

It had already seen it, it had already asked about it, so what was causing this reaction now? It was not difficult to understand... the thing that had suddenly reacted a few moments ago.

The Demon of End took a heavy breath and then slammed its entire body against the chains.

GRRRRRRRRRR!

The sound of huge metal being pulled spread through the prison, and several golden rings shook.

Seris immediately prepared to activate the Mark again, but Lian raised his left hand slightly.

"Wait."

He wanted to understand what had happened.

The Demon of End pulled its body again, this time with much more anger than during the entire previous battle.

"Impossible!"

Its roar came from between its huge teeth.

"This cannot... this cannot be possible!"

The Silver Elf, who had remained silent until then, lost control of her voice, even she was frightened when she saw the dragon’s sudden behavior.

"Calm down!"

The Demon did not even look at her and pulled the chains again, one of the distant pillars shook under the pressure.

This time, the elf shouted in a sharper voice.

"You are ruining everything! The seals have become stable again! If you keep putting pressure on them like this, you will destroy our own paths!"

But the Demon of End did not care at all, apparently, becoming free was no longer the only thing occupying its mind.

Its huge eyes remained fixed on Lian, its heavy breaths moved the sea of red mist.

Its teeth hit each other with a terrifying sound.

Seris stood beside the young Vorhelm, her sword was ready, but she had also realized that the situation had changed.

The Demon of End no longer behaved like a creature that only wanted to escape the prison.

It was more like a creature that had remembered a terrifying truth.

Or something it had been afraid of had appeared in front of it again.

The dragon opened its mouth, and for a moment, the words got stuck in its throat.

"You..."

Lian did not take his eyes off it, the Ruined Heart inside his chest beat again.

Thump!

The Demon suddenly raised its head higher, its eyes shining with disbelief and madness, and then it shouted with a voice that shook the entire prison.

"You... you have the Heart!"
