Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 1209: Chapter 560: The Key

The surrounding air was still filled with the lingering chaos and abyss, with the ghostly blue radiance flickering between the shattered slabs, illuminating the resolute yet weary faces of the group.

The shadows at the edge of the rift continued to writhe and expand, as if still lurking in the darkness, their cold, damp aura eroding every nerve.

Reina stood by one side of the altar, her head lowered as she meticulously studied the remnants of the Code that David had snatched.

She parted her thin lips slightly, her brows gradually furrowing, each small movement revealing her unwavering focus on the inscrutable runes and complex formulas.

The light projected from the altar fluctuated with shadows, making her silver-white hair faintly ripple in the wind.

”Here... there is a key.”

Reina finally lifted her head, an expression of excitement mingled with caution vaguely flashed in her eyes, ”This formula describes how to use the ’Divine Remains Crystal’ as a vessel to extract and purify the pure energy of chaos from the abyss pollution through reverse refinement.”

The hall fell silent, and within the silence, everyone felt the significant implications behind this revelation— mastery of this knowledge could be the crucial turning point in the entire situation.

But it also meant enormous risks and unknowns.

Liliana slowly moved forward from the front of the group, clad in her Ice Mirror Shield, her demeanor increasingly resolute and calm.

She took a deep breath and gently placed the Ice Crystal Mirror Shield onto the green stone at the altar’s edge, its reflected cold light seeming to freeze time.

”I volunteer to be the test subject.”

She said steadily, her voice soft yet resounding, like the decisive strength unleashed when a glacier fractures.

All eyes turned to Liliana, and there was not a hint of fear on her face, only the unwavering determination brought about by her endless sense of duty to protect her kin.

”This is our last chance and our toughest step.”

I am willing to bear all the risks for the future of our kin.”

Reina watched the determined tears glittering in Liliana’s eyes and couldn’t help but nod slightly: ”Indeed, only using the ’Divine Remains Crystal’ as the medium for purification can conduct the reverse refinement, otherwise, it would not withstand the pure energy shock.”

Her tone carried a few notes of a scientist’s rational calmness and was intermingled with a curious yet fearful reverence for the unknown powers, ”The process will be extremely perilous, not only requiring us to extract the chaos but also to prevent the pure energy from running amok and corroding the soul.”

David’s eyes were heavy as he stepped forward and placed his hand over the intricately carved container of ”Divine Remains Crystal” made from the bones of ancient giant beasts, with a pale blue crystal embedded in its center.

This relic emitted faint, ancient spiritual power waves, seemingly resonating with the runes on the remnants of the Code, as if some secret of the cosmos was about to be awakened.

The air grew heavier, each breath slow and urgent.

They knew they stood on the cliff of destiny, a single misstep could lead to eternal damnation.

At this moment, the falling dust was like countless shattered stars, quietly swirling down in the barren space, like the most silent feast in the abyss of the universe weeping.

Amy walked gently yet resolutely to Liliana’s side, wrapping her shoulders with both hands, imbuing her with the warm magic power of life, to withstand the imminent dual trial of spirit and body.

”You are not alone, we will all stand beside you, weathering this storm together.”

Her gaze was as soft as the dawn yet full of an unshakable belief.

Reina began to chant the ancient spell, simultaneously adjusting the parameters of the resonance instrument, gradually activating the purification mechanism hidden within the ’Divine Remains Crystal’.

Complex runes gradually lit up, casting from the lowest to the highest tiers, layer by layer, as exquisite as stars adorning the night sky.

In the waveform reflected on the instrument screen, the chaotic wavebands were progressively compressed and converted into a stable and transparent flow of pure energy.

As Reina’s spell accelerated through iterations, the black mists of ”abyss pollution” began to slowly peel away, from the floating Code to the shadow tendrils in the surrounding space which were forced back and suppressed, the corrosive malice seemingly consumed utterly by an invisible flame.

However, the process was not without hindrance—

Suddenly, a biting cold wind accompanied by a low rumbling arrived from the distant rift, countless shadow tendrils struggled and twisted, attempting to break through the blockade, and the floating dust rose violently and spiraled with it.

Under the pressure of the harsh environment, the shared array formation presented frequent anomalies, various eerie interferences continuously attacked the system stability, making the surrounding air quiver like a taut string.

David watched the changes on the instrument’s screen without blinking, his expression grave: ”Everyone be careful! The amplification of negative energy is abnormal, we must safeguard with all our might, or the consequences will be unimaginable!”

Zelros, with sword in hand and chest held high, stood firmly as a bastion, guarding the core area while vigilantly surveying the surroundings for any lurking threats!

Amidst his brows, there shone a determined smile: ”Rest assured, no matter how perilous, I’ll block all dangers!”

Amy continuously cast powerful healing techniques and spirit shield spells, nurturing the flame of life under immense pressure, allowing the ’Divine Remains Crystal’ container to operate stably.

Liya, donned in a silver-white robe, exuding the majestic and dignified presence akin to a queen at dawn, was at this moment releasing dazzling sacred golden radiance all over her body, continuously strengthening the golden chains and reinforcing the sealing barrier, making the battle against the dark corrosion possible!

In the long span of time, every chant of the spell resounded;

Every rune pulse glimmered and shone;
