The meteor fell from the sky, drawing a beautiful arc. It fell from the sky and crossed thousands of miles. The arc of light in the sky was beautiful and stunning. At this moment, it was getting closer and closer to Babus, and it was getting bigger and bigger in everyone's eyes.
Everyone could see the thick flames burning above it, as well as the body of the star hidden within the flames. It was beautiful and deadly. This kind of power and scene was completely beyond everyone's imagination. It was destruction hidden in extreme beauty.
Everyone had just escaped the slaughter of Adonis,'s Death Legion, when they were greeted by such a scene. Everyone who had just escaped death knelt on the ground in despair. Many people covered their faces and cried, no longer having the slightest courage to struggle.
The streets were burning, and many people knelt on the ground in rows, looking up at the meteor in the sky. It was as if they had accepted their fate. A large number of believers of the Church of Light kissed the silver coin-sized sacred ornaments worn on their necks as they silently prayed.
"This is God's punishment. This is our sin. All of this is God's punishment for us."
"God, I confess my sins to you. Please forgive me and allow me to ascend to your kingdom."
Many people couldn't accept this phenomenon and were driven mad by the cruel scene. A crazy old man, who was bare-chested and so thin that only his ribs were left, ran like a gorilla through the half-destroyed streets of the war. There were corpses all over the ground, as well as half-burned houses. He cried and laughed crazily as he stood at the forefront of the street, facing the city gate and the meteor in the sky. He stretched out his hands.
"Dead … Hahaha … All dead!"
"We all have to die! We all have to die! "
"This is not punishment, this is fate, this is fate! This is the fate that God has decided for us! "
His sharp cries pierced through the sky, making everyone feel the despair and desolation in his words. Many people who were kneeling on the ground nearby burst into tears.
Inside the palace, the surrounded nobles had not yet recovered from the joy of Adenos' death when they saw this apocalyptic scene. A large number of nobles were paralyzed on the ground, many of them cursing and cursing, while most of them could only cry bitterly. In the end, as the priests chanted the Holy Hymn, the atmosphere calmed down. They confessed their past and looked back on their lives.
Edward, who was covered in wounds and holding Adenos' body, stared blankly at the falling meteor. He suddenly remembered what the Great Sage Anthony had said to him before he died.
"The moment Babus City completely turns into a city of the dead, in order to prevent the situation from collapsing beyond repair, I will destroy the entire city with my own hands."
"Is it already too late?"
Edward's eyes were already in a daze. He lowered his head and his throat trembled. Even if he swallowed his saliva, he couldn't stop the sour taste from surging up. He had used all his strength and instilled all his willpower. He had given up so much, but in the end, this was the result.
"In the end, I couldn't save the fate of Babus City!" Edward's tears flowed down his cheeks.
"Adenos, you are right. I can't save anyone!
"Let us die here together!"
Edward held Adenos' body, which was wrapped in a tattered king's costume. He straightened the crooked crown on his head and stood in the center of Babus' palace, welcoming the final moment with everyone else.
"Look, what is that?"
"God? Is this a warning to us? Is this our salvation? "
"My God, what the hell is going on?"
At that moment, the meteor, which had originally locked onto the center of Babus City, suddenly changed direction. It was as if a mysterious force was guiding its trajectory. Just as it was about to fall into Babus City, it deviated from its trajectory and fell diagonally into the mountains on the other side.
"Boom!"
The earth shook as if it was turning upside down. Such a huge meteor fell to the ground, instantly destroying everything within a radius of dozens of miles. The range of the violent explosion was even further. Countless trees and hills were destroyed in an instant. Thick smoke and dust surged in all directions, and a fierce fire illuminated the entire sky, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
The violent impact even affected Babus City. Half of the lake was blown away by the impact and turned into a large amount of water mist. A large amount of lake water fell into Babus City like rain, and many houses that were burning with raging flames were extinguished.
At this moment, everyone was looking at the apocalyptic scene in the distance. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time. After that, an intense joy filled their chests. This sudden turn of events made them feel as if everything that had happened before was just a joke.
"We're saved! Long live God!"
"This is God's warning and salvation! Everything belongs to God!"
"Our sins have been redeemed!"
Everyone let go of everything and ran on the streets without the slightest scruple. At this moment, there were no more classes or classes in the city. There were no slaves or nobles. Everyone rushed to the streets and cheered loudly, celebrating their narrow escape from death and celebrating the salvation of God.
Many mothers held their children in their arms, their eyes brimming with tears of excitement. Old fathers put their arms around their tall sons' shoulders, kneeling and praying in the direction of the falling meteor. The rain drenched everyone's clothes, and everyone seemed to have undergone a holy baptism.
In the sixtieth year of the San Calendar, the Church of Light recorded that the Prince of the Dead, Adenos, sold his soul to the devil. He sacrificed his brothers, sisters, and father to summon the Army of the Dead from Hell. At the cost of his own life, Saint Peter summoned the power of God and destroyed Adenos' Army of the Dead, driving Adenos back to Hell.
The Graveyard of the Stars formed a new lake. Together with the original lake under Babus, they were like the two moons on the earth. Together, they were called Lake Hirnano, which meant the light of the stars or the light of God. However, most people preferred to call it the Holy Lake.
In the cemetery of Babus, Edward had chosen a plot of land in the corner of the cemetery and was slowly digging it up. The original caretaker of the cemetery, Old Chuck, had died, so the entire cemetery was empty at the moment.
Because of the heavy casualties in the city of Babus, most of the buildings had been burned down, and a large number of people had died. Emergency reconstruction was being carried out. Perhaps it was because of the redemption of God, or perhaps it was because of the rekindling of hope in the midst of the ups and downs, but because of that, they quickly emerged from their sorrow and despair. They settled their dead loved ones and began to rebuild the new city of Babus that belonged to them.
What Edward did not expect was that Adenos did not kill all of the royal family. His youngest sister, Aisha Monar, was not dead. She was found in a corner room of the palace. The new Cardinal, who had rushed over to stabilize the situation in the entire Mara Kingdom, had appointed the little girl, who was only ten years old, as the Queen of the Kingdom of Mara. The new Cardinal, who had rushed over to stabilize the situation in the entire Mara Kingdom and for the benefit of the church, had appointed the little girl, who was only ten years old, as the Queen of the Kingdom of Mara.
Edward dug the grave and placed Adenos' body in an irregular quadrilateral coffin. Only then did he realize that there was a diamond-shaped, silver-white crystal the size of a green bean on Adenos' chest. Edward immediately recognized it.
"The Philosopher's Stone? Adonis, actually stole the manufacturing method of this thing and succeeded in making it all by himself! "
This was the top secret of the wizard tower, and it was also an extremely difficult witchcraft. Some mentors could not even master or make it on their own. It had to be said that Adenos was a genius.
Edward sighed, but he didn't take it away. Instead, he put it and all of Adenos' belongings into the coffin, then buried it in the cemetery. He didn't notice that when the Philosopher's Stone was placed against Adenos' skeleton, it shone with a faint light, as if it was about to melt into it.
Edward knelt on the ground and set up a tombstone for Adonis,. However, he did not write a name. He only wrote the name of the tombstone maker in the lower right corner – his younger brother, Edward Kelermoli. Leaning against Adonis,'s tombstone, it was not until the sun set that Edward straightened up and left the city of Babus. Since then, he had never been to the city again.
Time flies, the years fly by.
Ten years later …
Suddenly, the soil above an unnamed grave in the cemetery began to shake and arch. With a bang, the sound of a coffin breaking was heard, and a pale bone palm broke out of the ground.
Creak! Creak!
"Dong dong!"
The tombstone collapsed, and a skeleton with a crown crawled out of the grave. It was a moving skeleton, standing in the middle of the cemetery on this dark and windy night. The cold wind blew past, and the shadows of the trees were heavy, accompanied by the mournful cries of crows.
In the eye sockets of the skeleton, there was a strange green flame. The skeleton was different from the skeleton of a human. It had a metallic color, and its joints were wrapped in a layer of strange bone tissue, which allowed it to move freely and assemble together.
At this moment, the monster looked around blankly, as if it had lost everything and didn't understand anything.
"Where is this?"
"Who am I?"
