Jeloru’s voice was no longer frail and aged; instead, it grew vast, solemn, as if resonating with heaven and earth itself!
As her final chant fell like a thunderclap, she drove the 【Wedge of Creation】—its chaotic radiance swirling fiercely—deep into the war-torn, cracked bricks of the city wall beneath her feet!
“Crack—BOOM!!!!!”
Beneath the shattered ruins of the grand cathedral at the heart of the Holy Capital, the earth shattered like fragile glass!
An enormous figure, too immense and terrifying for mortal words to describe, burst through the crust, ripping apart the burning rubble.
Swirling tons of broken stones and dust, it rose slowly with a world-shaking aura that sent chills down every spine!
Dust, blazing timber, and shattered sacred statues cascaded down its form like a waterfall.
It was a giant tens of meters tall!
Its body was no ordinary rock, but something gleaming with a dark metallic sheen, as if forged from obsidian imbued with eternal night.
Ancient, cryptic runes pulsed across its surface in dark red streams like molten lava veins.
Its golden eyes blazed like burning suns, surveying the entire battlefield from above!
Simply standing upright, it cast a shadow over nearly half the field, crushing the last embers of the allied forces’ courage beneath it!
“The Light… The Light Giant Diga?!” Helga gasped in disbelief.
As a knowledgeable mage, she recognized the name of the legendary guardian god of the Holy Capital.
Her voice trembled with an impossible mix of shock and despair.
“The one who, according to legend, protects the Holy Capital… the Guardian of Light! It… it’s been awakened?
But, but this aura… this color…”
Diga? What kind of name was that?!
Eileen, a transmigrator, found her thoughts absurdly out of place amid the bloody battlefield.
Besides, as Helga had said, the color of its skin…
Was pitch black, like a demon!
Eileen’s face turned deathly pale, her golden eyes fixed on the colossal figure radiating endless darkness and destruction.
She couldn’t help but shout back sharply, “Look at it, Helga! This isn’t light at all! This is a complete darkness giant!”
Suppressing the urge to make sarcastic remarks, she thought grimly: So the final boss fight was against a dark giant named Diga!
This thing looked incredibly tough.
“Magic cannon positions! All magic cannons! Target that giant! Maximum power! Extreme overload! Fire!!!”
General Horn’s eyes burned with fury, his voice hoarse as if drenched in blood.
Without hesitation, he issued the order.
Behind the Empire’s ranks, dozens of massive magic cannons glowed ominously red-hot from overloading.
Their muzzles blazed with blinding destructive energy, amassed to its peak!
“Fire—!!!”
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!”
Dozens of thick destructive energy beams over two meters in diameter tore through the darkened sky like the wrath of the gods.
Carrying the Empire’s final hope and despair, they hammered mercilessly, pouring every last ounce of force into the dark giant Diga’s mountain-like chest!
The violent explosion engulfed its entire upper body in blinding light!
The terrifying shockwave crashed outwards like a tsunami, tossing nearby soldiers and ruins into the air and pulverizing everything!
Yet, as the cataclysmic light slowly faded and dust settled, the hearts of every Empire soldier who witnessed the scene sank into an icy pit of despair.
The giant’s enormous obsidian body showed only faint scorch marks and shallow dents!
The dark red runes pulsed slightly like greedy mouths, effortlessly absorbing, dispersing, and nullifying the city-destroying magic cannon energy!
Its huge crimson core rotated with unshaken stability; the glow remained dreadful and steady!
“Futile struggles! Pathetic ants!”
A grand, cold voice with the grinding friction of metal and rumbling earth boomed like thunder from within the giant.
It was Jeloru’s voice, now seemingly fused entirely with the giant’s core!
“Mortals’ toys are less than dust before the divine might of godly creation!”
The dark giant Diga slowly raised its mountain-like foot, casting its shadow over the core region of the Empire army below—the high ground where Rosweisser stood.
It was the last command center and hope of the allied forces!
The giant’s foot descended with unmatched power that could crush continents, bringing a storm of destruction down on that area!
The shadow blanketed the earth, freezing the air with the breath of death!
Soldiers cried out in hopeless anguish, scattering in all directions.
But under the vast shadow of that colossal foot, fleeing seemed futile and laughable!
“Rosweisser—!”
Eileen let out a heart-wrenching scream, her golden eyes filled with powerlessness and fear!
She wanted to rush forward, but the distance was too great—and she had no strength!
At this moment of critical peril, as all seemed destined for annihilation—
“By my body as a bridge! By my soul as kindling! I call upon the supreme goddess’s mercy! Open now! The shield that severs all calamities and shelters the hope of all beings—【Eternal Sanctuary: Elysian Sanctum】!”
Rosweisser’s voice rang out—not clear and pure anymore, but burning with the resolve to give her life and sacrifice everything in divine determination!
She drove her scepter fiercely into the earth beneath her feet.
Her hands formed an ancient, intricate final spell seal before her chest, radiating endless compassion!
Her entire body erupted with unprecedented golden holy light like a supernova!
The brilliance was so dazzling it momentarily outshone the burning Holy Capital and the dark giant’s shadow!
An indescribably grand and sacred golden pillar of light burst forth from Rosweisser, tearing through the dust and shooting high into the heavens!
The pillar rapidly expanded and stretched out, transforming into a colossal, translucent golden dome spanning over a kilometer around—solid as the purest crystal!
Within the dome flowed countless star rivers formed by divine runes, exuding warmth, absolute protection, and an eternal aura that sealed away all evil!
The dark giant’s massive foot, wielding apocalyptic force, slammed hard onto the golden crystal dome!
An indescribable thunderous crash shook the very heart of the continent!
Space warped violently; the earth rippled and cracked like ocean waves!
The golden crystal dome trembled and rippled fiercely, dozens of delicate spiderweb-like cracks instantly spreading across its smooth surface!
Rosweisser’s body suddenly bent forward as if struck by an invisible blow.
A mouthful of blood shimmering with golden radiance and dense divine energy burst from her lips!
Her face instantly turned translucent; her form wavered precariously.
She held herself upright only by leaning heavily on the deeply embedded scepter, which itself groaned under the unbearable strain!
Yet the dome did not shatter!
The giant’s foot was miraculously held back outside the sanctuary!
Within the sanctuary, every soldier shadowed by death’s breath was safe and sound!
A powerful, warm, and potent divine energy surged into their bodies, healing wounds, dispelling fear, and reigniting their nearly extinguished fighting spirit!
“Lady Saint!!”
The knights of the Restoration Order were moved to tears, dropping to their knees in sincere prayer.
“Rosweisser!”
