Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 465 - 58: Extinguishing the Flame (Part 2)

Chapter 465: Chapter 58: Extinguishing the Flame (Part 2)

Facing the incoming Sunlight Spear, Su Ziyu unhesitatingly activated Flashing. At his original position, the dancing electric serpents had already engulfed everything, leaving a huge pit on the ground.

"Do what you must do..."

Su Ziyu saw with the corner of his eye Lorien, the Great Prince, kneeling on one knee. The countless Thunder Spears attracted nearly half of the firepower, but even with his body pierced by the Thunder Spears, he still firmly shielded the Second Prince behind him. At this moment, the Second Prince’s face grew paler as he knelt in praying, an aura of sacred light continuously flowing into the Great Prince’s body.

"I can’t wait any longer!" Su Ziyu gritted his teeth and directly loaded the Fat Man nuclear warhead into the launcher.

Before setting off, he had told two people that if the enemy’s strength was too overwhelming, he might need to use a weapon that indiscriminately harms both friend and foe, even affecting himself.

A sudden shout rang out.

At some point, Lorien the Great Prince stood up again, carrying the Second Prince on his back, moving sideways, and swung the Blazing Sword in his hand at the head of the Incarnation of the Lord of Cinder. A series of Soul Spears closely followed; the Second Prince trembled slightly and seemed to be in pain but continued casting magic.

Sister Fried’s silhouette also suddenly emerged.

Her target, however, was not the Incarnation of the Lord of Cinder ahead, but after slashing a swath of icy black fire with the Giant Scythe, she suddenly reached out for the Spiral Sword in the bonfire.

Clang. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Lorien the Great Prince’s form was once again repelled, the Incarnation of the Lord of Cinder counter-swept with a spear, sending Sister Fried’s figure flying dozens of meters. The step forward he originally planned to take was taken back, turning around to place his hand on the Spiral Sword in the bonfire.

"You want it?"

"The Unkindled Ash is not worthy of owning it." At this moment, another eerie and mad murmuring voice rang out.

The Incarnation of the Lord of Cinder suddenly reached out and pulled out the Spiral Sword before him, then stabbed it into his own chest. Wisps of flame gradually spread from the bonfire to his body, visibly his physical form entering a more terrifying Residual Flame Form.

Initial Flame was entering his body.

Sister Fried was once the King of Wandering Souls of Londor, meaning she also possibly had the ability to devour the Initial Flame. Realizing the enemy’s power was too formidable, Sister Fried decisively chose the most perilous approach, attempting to seize the strength of the Initial Flame into her own body.

Her plan, however, was thwarted by the Incarnation of the Lord of Cinder.

Now’s the moment!

When the Incarnation of the Lord of Cinder reached for the Spiral Sword in the bonfire, Su Ziyu pressed the button on the launcher without hesitation.

Without any hesitation.

Su Ziyu reloaded the second nuclear warhead with astonishing speed, launching it directly at the enemy before him.

Rumble!

A dreadful explosion sounded.

The ground trembled.

A blinding light emerged before his eyes, followed by a rapidly spreading shockwave, and before the mushroom cloud had arisen, the second nuclear warhead was also detonated.

Rumble!

Su Ziyu could hardly see any targets, such a close-range nuclear detonation already dealt him significant damage at first sight. Yet he still relied on his senses to load the last warhead, pressing the firing button towards the bonfire location. By then, the spreading shockwave shattered his Spiritual Protection Field, sending him flying backward.

Splurt.

A spurt of blood spewed.

Su Ziyu’s vision was left with only a swath of white light, his eyes seemingly severely damaged, temporarily losing the ability to see. His skin felt burned by the fire, though still some distance from the explosion’s center, visible scorch marks rapidly emerged on his skin.

His entire intestines writhed, the explosion’s shockwave made him feel as if struck by a train.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"High concentration of radiation pollution detected!... Radiation pollution index rising!..."

Rumble!

The third nuclear explosion’s loud bang resounded.

Su Ziyu, just landing, was once again propelled into the air, barely reactivating the Spiritual Protection Field, then fiercely gripping the Dragon-Hunting Spear and fiercely plunging it into the ground.

Only now did clusters of mushroom clouds gradually rise.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Severe personal injury detected!... Radiation pollution index has breached the critical threshold!... Organ failure imminent!..."

Su Ziyu knelt in place gasping a breath, unhesitatingly injecting the Antiradiation Potion into his arm.

At this moment, he found his skin had completely lost sensation, although normal movement was still possible, the perception of external warmth and cold had entirely vanished, the initial burning agony gradually waned, the body became rigid, lightly brushing a hand against the arm surprisingly rubbed off a layer of dark ash-like powder.

The injury was worse than expected!

Why hadn’t the kill notification appeared?

Could he still be alive?

Su Ziyu was completely incapable of perceiving the existence of Sister Fried and Princes Lorric. Even if the center of the nuclear explosion was next to the bonfire, everyone present couldn’t evade its reach.

The dust raised by the nuclear blast completely overshadowed everything.

Time ticked by minute by minute.

Finally, a notification emerged in Su Ziyu’s mind:

"Target killed!"

"60 Source Power Value obtained."

The entire Land of Fire was shrouded in high concentrations of radiation pollution. In the explosion’s center, the temperatures melted the ground’s sand and stone, leaving a bizarre circular pit on site. In the very center of the pit lay a feeble bonfire, beside it stood a Spiral Sword slantingly embedded near the bonfire.

This small region seemed safeguarded by some kind of Law; the bonfire remained perfectly intact under the nuclear explosion.

However, the Incarnation of the Lord of Cinder’s body directly crumbled to ashes under the successive nuclear strikes.

Hack.

A hint of blood spilled.

Su Ziyu arduously rose, his vision completely gone. Hardly needing thought, he guessed that his current appearance was likely pitiful, probably resembling neither human nor ghost, given that his skin was entirely charred.

Vaguely, he sensed a hint of Teleportation energy.

Immediately after, a gentle female voice sounded: "Lord Ash."

"Will you extinguish the Initial Flame?"

It was the Firekeeper’s voice.

At some point, the Firekeeper’s form emerged in a white light, raising her head to gaze at the sun in the heaven that had already dimmed and lost its luster.

"Extinguish the flame!" Sister Fried’s hoarse voice resounded from afar.

Then she took a deep breath, slowly asking: "Others?"

"Are they alright?"

Within the nuclear explosion zone, the extremely chaotic energy field shielded perception, seemingly robbing Sister Fried of her sight as well.

"I can only see fire." The Firekeeper gently shook her head; visibly, signs of Zombification appeared on her body, yet the corner of her mouth curled into a smile. She lightly crouched down, extending her hands to carefully scoop up a weak, dim flame from the bonfire.

At a few dozen meters away from the Firekeeper lay a broken Great Sword, partially melted.

Farther afield.

A towering figure sheltered a frail body beneath him. Lorien, the Great Prince, had turned completely into charcoal, and the Second Prince shielded beneath him was also of unknown fate, with an exposed arm already resembling ash.

In a vague haze.

A force of flame gradually extinguished.

Darkness descended.

Following this, a notification arose in Su Ziyu’s mind:

"Task completed."

"Initial Flame extinguished!... Unknown Divine Spirit residue detected!... Unknown King Soul residue detected!..."

"Conducting Fusion Analysis!..."

"Choose one for fusion."

"Choice 1: Extract Divine Power and obtain 8 Divinity Value."

"Choice 2: Extract the Death King Soul, solidify Domain [Death]."

"Choice 3: Extract the Thunder King Soul, advance Lightning Domain. The King Soul will transform into [Thunder] Divine Format. [Note! Upon acquiring Divine Format, the host will be seen as a false god! Possible attacks from Divine Spirits possessing similar Divine Format in parts of the plane!] "
