Pillar of Yita

So, in her eyes, there was only one thing left—the pair of long daggers, gleaming with a narrow silver light.

She knew that this was her only chance, and the moment was now.

The next instant, both of them almost simultaneously felt the Dawn responding to their calls, and Fang Hong suddenly opened her eyes and raised her right hand in the control gloves, squeezing forward.

The pair of long daggers suddenly broke free from Alice’s body as if they were a bolt of lightning, heading toward the Light Cocoon to one side. They struck the Light Cocoon, and although their sharp blades could not damage its structure, the thrust was enough to knock it dozens of meters away.

Then Fang Hong gently closed her fist, giving the self-destruct command.

A flicker of reluctance flashed in Elisa’s eyes.

But the silver blade of Dawn was radiating light and heat unmatched by anything else at this moment, becoming incredibly bright. All the Magic Power from the Main Crystal surged out, and the Crystal structure could no longer contain the stable Ether Body.

In Fang Hong’s Spider Web Theory, the Magic Power of the Ether Network was surging at a certain point, pulling the entire network apart.

His first legendary creation was completely disintegrating amid such a surge. Dawn exploded with a loud noise, scattering countless fragments, and every fading light appeared like the dawning morning in the darkness, beaming into the gloomy Underground World.

The force of the explosion was still not enough to destroy the Light Cocoon.

Instead, the shockwave lifted it high and sent it in a direction completely opposite to the black vortex. It fell to the ground and rolled toward someone—that direction was precisely where Stirling was.

The latter had not reacted in the slightest yet.

But Toragotos was both shocked and enraged. It was originally diving straight toward Alice, but at this moment, it could no longer care about anything else. This plan was the culmination of its life’s work and it could not allow any flaws at this juncture.

It let out a deep roar, pivoting in mid-air, and turned to pounce toward Stirling.

And at that moment,

Fang Hong lightly pressed on the Black Crystal in front of his chest with his right hand, then pushed forward, and a blue ray of light extended forward in a line parallel to his hand, then fell downward like a waterfall, opening a Light Gate.

There, a tall girl clad in flickering metal stood silently behind him.

Her long legs and hands were made of blade-like constructs, and above her platinum torso, a beautiful Sensing Field ring hovered just above her head, gently shimmering. Fang Hong pointed forward with his hand shaped like a blade.

Under countless gazes, the two ’people’ slightly twisted their figures and disappeared amid a flash of silver light.

It was only then that Toragotos realized something was amiss, but as it turned its neck, its golden-red pupils reflected only a streak of silver light, which at that moment was streaking across the entire ’Valley’ of the Pyramid.

It was like an endless line extending forward, and at the end of that line was a pale-faced girl, her eyes full of disbelief.

At that moment, everyone seemed to have their throats seized by an invisible hand, losing their ability to speak.

Until they saw the silver line passing right by Alice—

In that split second, Fang Hong suddenly grabbed the cold hand of his twin sister, and the immense inertia made them both fall to the ground, rolling several times before coming to a stop, but he carefully protected the girl in his arms until he got up and then he reached out to her:

”Don’t be afraid, Alice, I am here, and so is your sister.”

”Luckily, we got here just in time—”

He said gently.

Alice, however, stared at him blankly, and after a while, she seemed to realize—she was safe. A complex mix of emotions welled up in her heart, once again blurring her vision.

The next moment, as if she mistook Fang Hong for her sister, she could not help but throw herself into his embrace, clutching him and weeping loudly.

Fang Hong was at a loss for a moment, only managing to pat her slender back awkwardly to help her catch her breath. But the girl cried so bitterly that she did not notice his hand accidentally touching her protruding spine, causing him to start and feel her fragility even more.

How had she made that decision, with such courage, to come here in place of her sister?

According to what Elisa had said, she would have faced real death.

Though it was unknown how Toragotos had managed to do this.

It was only at this time that a cheer erupted from King’s Square.

Inside the Royal Palace, the Little Princesses were jubilant—heroes saving beauties, in any era, in any world, it’s the kind of beautiful fairy tale everyone wants to see, particularly at such a moment.

It was like a ray of hope in the endless darkness, pulling people out from their plight.

”Perhaps it’s really possible...”

At this moment, everyone had this previously untenable thought flash through their minds.

And in the Underground World, Fang Hong once again raised his head, his gaze following the Light Cocoon to Stirling’s side—the Dwarf paused, seemingly about to pick up the Light Cocoon at his feet subconsciously, but then he realized and lifted his head.

A huge black shadow was already descending upon him.

”No!” Stirling’s expression showed extreme fear as he screamed, ”I didn’t mean to do it!”

He seemed to want to dodge at the last second, but it was too late.
