Chapter 549: 549
The huge fiery green fireball that looked like a dandelion blooming was shooting out green fireballs in the sky . The fireballs fell down like meteorites, hitting the one-eyed giant below . It had done bits of gray here and there on the one-eyed giant, but could not even scratch its skin a bit, let alone hurting it . However, the fireballs got the one-eyed giant’s attention .
Stopping moving, it turned around and saw a body floating in a fireball . That was the Fairy Empress .
She was surrounded by green vines that had dandelions fluttering out of them .
Seeds started to spring out of the dandelions . They went up in flames and danced around and then formed a huge green fireball .
The one-eyed giant parried with the back of its hand .
All the fire meteorites dissipated in an instant as the fireball disappeared .
The sky returned to its dark gray color . The Fairy Empress, who floated in the air just a while ago, was gone . Everything had calmed down .
“Miss . Philippe… did you just sacrifice yourself?” Standing in front of the sanctum, Dimpess sounded sad . “It is my turn, then . ”
He glanced at Khadula .
“I wish I could get away from this, but where can I go?”
Khadula did not know what to say . In fact, whatever she said was not going to change anything . Dimpess had walked away from death countless times and rose to become a Palatinate . Many of his comrades had died for the past several hundred years . Death no longer worried him a bit .
“Many of my friends are dead, and I’m still alive now—I really couldn’t ask for more . ” He stomped his feet, and his body floated . Dark energy and holy power started to surround him in white and green light .
“I’m going . ”
His body faded into a streak of white light as he rose into the sky .
“Come to get me, you big guy!”
He roared and had the one-eyed giant attention .
Just when he planned to take the one-eyed giant going a few rounds and leave, a powerful, legend-class force field fell upon him, fixing him in the air like a bug preserved in amber .
Before he could do anything else, the one-eyed giant had grabbed and crushed him in its hand .
When it opened its hand again, what was left of him of only a patch of blood in its hand . The crushed body of a human, smeared on the one-eyed giant’s hand, looked only like a sesame seed .
At the same time, rockets started to rise all over the city, flying toward the one-eyed giant .
However, these rockets laden with dark energy had all exploded in midair before even reaching its target .

The Annihilatus stumped forward, stomping its feet in the area dotted with low-rise buildings, crushing everything to the ground . For the third time, it reached out its hands and struck a highrise that happened to stand in its way .
The building broke in half with the top half sent flying and disappearing into the black mist .
The one-eyed giant moved ahead toward the most prominent part of the city where the Sanctum was located .
The Sanctum still put out pure, white light continuously to fight back the invading Blacktide water . But after the Annihilatus broke through the wall, the holy power started to get overwhelmed .
The one-eyed giant continued to stride ahead, every step sending tremor to the earth if someone was smashing down with a hammer .
A large crowd of people had gathered on the lawn in front of the prayer hall of the Sanctum . These people, evacuated from other places, were the hard-core believers and the family members of the leadership of the Sanctum
Among them were Lin Xiao, Gu Wanqiu, and Lin Zhounian . Gu Wanqiu looked pale, but she still comforted her daughter . Lin Zhounian stood together with the parents of Hanyu and Nisse, quietly looking at the one-eyed giant .
“Let us pray,” one of them said . Indistinct voices of prayer rose among the crowd . In a time like this, the only thing they could do was pray .
Standing on the prayer altar was one of Khadula’s avatars, a girl as beautiful as the holy light . She clapped her hands together and faced the only statue in the prayer hall . The statue was a tall, white stone sculpture without a face . By the looks of its shape and contour, it was a sculpture of Lin Sheng .
The monster roared again . The one-eyed giant reached its nine-fingered hand and grabbed at the Sanctum, which was the brightest place in the city . But this time, no one could draw away the giant .

The black nine-finger hand, much like Titan in the mythology, was emitting a powerful twisting force field, distorting and crushing the purification force field around the Sanctum .
Finally, as everyone was still desperately praying, the black hand smashed down on the Sanctum Hill with a loud boom .
When everything died down, the giant black hand lifted off . Underneath was an oval light shield shrouding the entire Sanctum Hill .
The one-eyed giant was transfixed as if it could not believe in what it saw . But it quickly came to grips with what happened and struck its hand down at the light shield again . Nothing was going to stop it . The shield might only stand for now, but the result would still be the same with repeated attacks .
The giant nine-fingered hand struck with a powerful force field down at the sanctum .
“Now, we are not doing anything but pray . ”
Lin Zhounian looked up at the giant black hand, puzzled why everything had changed in such a short time . His life had changed . His peaceful days had gone . It looked as if he was seeing the disaster scene in a movie . It was just that he was seeing it from a first-person perspective now .
“Where is Lin Sheng now? Hope he has made it out safely…” In their last moment, Lin Zhounian held his wife and Lin Xiao’s hand tightly with a forced smile on his face .
“He… is going to be okay . ” Gu Wanqiu’s face was pale .
“Sheng Sheng must have gone back to Henricqal . He said that last time…” Lin Xiao also forced a smile .

“Did he say that?” Lin Zhounian asked, trying to comfort himself .
“Yeah… he said that before . ” Lin Xiao nodded affirmatively .
“I was just kidding, you silly twerp . ”
A voice suddenly spoke beside Lin Xiao . She froze, then slowly turned her head around, looking beside her . A familiar body was standing there; it was Lin Sheng . He stared up at the one-eyed giant without looking at his parents and others .
“I’m sorry, I’ve lied to you all many times . ”
He stepped forward, out of the crowd, toward the holy and beautiful Khadula, who had been waiting, and then the two held their hands .
“I promise . This is the last one . ”
The moment Lin Sheng stepped up onto the prayer altar, a bright white light burst out of his body . He was now clad in a set of pure white body armor with a white cloak fluttering on his back .
“Then, let’s roll . ” He and Khadula placed their hands on the prayer altar, activating a disc, the last trigger of the sacred crystal font .
“My brother, it’s all yours now . ” Khadula looked up at Lin Sheng with an innocent smile .
