It was a silver network that floated in a pitch-black space. Below the network was an azure continent.
The troposphere was filled with cirrocumulus clouds, a blue ocean that was as clear as crystal, and a continent that looked like a walnut skin. It was glowing like a square tablecloth spread out in this dark space. Under the feet of the three of them, it stretched out in all directions and extended into the endless darkness.
Gwendolyn saw the plains of Cruz, the forests of Saint-ausol, the mountains of Fanzin, and the Erranta Islands that drifted away from the continent. To the east was an endless glacier with a white ice sheet covering the fragmented continent. To the south was a dark land, and the Dead Moon Inner Sea shone under the sun.
Even further away, there were other continents scattered across the ocean like stars in the sky.
She recognized where this was at a glance.
This was the Wohnde.
The elemental barrier disappeared, and the whole world appeared under their feet. Above the law of Tiamat, this was already outside the boundary of the elements.
And Brando also saw something else.
On the layer of the silver network, there were some things that emitted starry light. They floated above the law of Tiamat, as if forming a huge array.
And closer to some places, there were some wreckage floating in the void. They were parts of the broken body of a giant beast that emitted a metallic luster.
Among these wreckage, there were many corpses of human bodies and monsters. They were frozen into ice, but some of them could still be distinguished. Brando recognized at a glance that they were the Miirnas. But there were also some other races, such as the Dazzling Folk, the Dragons, and some that he had never heard of before. They had never appeared in any myths or legends.
A few female corpses in armor slid into his sight. The familiar armor made his pupils shrink slightly. It was the Valkyrie Armor, almost identical to Freya's Armor of Light in the game.
These female heroes had long been buried in an unknown era. Their faces were blurred as they slid silently into the distant darkness.
Silence reigned in the void.
Among the wreckage, there were some other incomplete bodies, such as the Crystal Cluster, the Energy Race, the Giants' corpses, wolves, various Fenrir's Sons and Plague Hounds, and finally, a sleeping female wolf.
Brando recognized at a glance that it was the taciturn Odiss, one of Échis' twelve daughters.
Without a doubt, this was a tragic battlefield.
The Earth Legion that had resisted the Twilight invasion had long since fallen into eternal slumber.
"Do you see this world that the Divine People and Martha have created in my body? Ever since the last war, you don't even recognize it anymore."
The Roman extended his hand, and an invisible force stopped both Brando and Gwendolyn.
No matter how hard the man and the dragon tried, they could not get any closer to the merchant girl.
"Little fellow, it's useless." Bai's voice sounded in Brando's mind. "The Twilight Dragon has awakened. We're still one step behind. We're no match for her, at least not yet."
Brando shook his head. He did not refute, but he did not plan to give up either.
The Roman looked at them and continued, "So you're no longer worthy of inheriting this civilization, nor are you worthy of being the descendants of the Divine People. The glory of the Matatanians has come to an end. Odin has stopped me from descending into this world for a thousand years, but you haven't been able to change your fate. Today, the door to this world has opened again, and this time, no one can save you. "
She pointed at Wohnde and said, "Watch how it's destroyed, and then I'll kill Martha completely. I'll let you see it all with your own eyes, and see the end of this war."
Many specks of light appeared in the darkness.
They were meteors.
Brendel saw countless meteors passing through the laws of Tiamat. Tens of thousands, or even billions of rays of light were falling towards Vaunte. Although he was only quietly watching this scene from above the laws of Tiamat, he could fully imagine what a spectacular scene it would be to look up at the sky above the land of Vaunte at this moment.
But that was the glory of the end, the desperate situation before the world was destroyed.
Every speck of light was a part of the Twilight Army.
Dusk was coming.
Just as she said, this time, the world no longer had the power to resist her. The Truth Parliament had long ceased to exist, and the Earth Legion had been destroyed outside the Elemental Barrier. The Gods had left this world, and the Divine People had disappeared. There were no Planeswalkers, no Warriors with Golden Blood.
How could the mortals of this world resist such a desperate situation?
Gwendolyn clenched her claws so tightly that blood seeped out from under her scales.
Brando held the two holy swords tightly and did not say a word.
East of the Cruz Plain, in the mountains of Metz, in the hills of Anzeruta, on the quietly flowing Vargas River, in every region around the Sublime Inland Sea.
When people looked up, they saw the bright starlight descending. After the specks of light entered the atmosphere, they were ignited by the high temperature, forming a long tail of flame that slowly fell from the sky.
It was like a rain of fire.
The Knights stopped in their tracks. The merchants in the caravan had just recovered from the fear of the night. The refugees who had survived the disaster did not have time to adjust their emotions. One by one, the ascetics ran out of the temple and looked up at the sky.
Everyone saw this scene with their own eyes.
The sky was ignited.
At the border between Fanzin and Saint-ausol, the Elves and the people of Inir saw the sky full of meteors falling in the direction of Cruz. Before they could understand what was happening, a sudden gust of wind blew from the hills.
Someone was already screaming.
"Dragons!"
"Dragons!"
"Dragons in the south!"
Someone looked back and saw another scene that they would never forget in their lives. It was a giant dragon. Countless dragons, covering the sky as if there were thousands of them. They spread their wings and flew over the hills with a rumbling sound.
Trees fell one after another. Countless leaves fell from the branches and were swept into the sky by the wind. People screamed as they pressed down their hair that was flying in the wind and lay down on the hills.
They looked up and watched as the dragons flew over their heads and flew in the direction of Kirrlutz without hesitation.
There were still last warriors in this world.
The last descendants with the golden blood flowing in their veins seemed to be guided by the voice in the deepest part of their hearts and blood. This day, this day, they finally understood.
War had come.
And in Rushta, the capital of the Empire, dusk and the end of the world came first.
From the moment Dusk awoke, all the Crystal Clusters in the city paused for a moment. Then, they neatly turned in one direction, moving in that direction along the ruins, burning buildings, and broken streets in an orderly manner.
At the end of this road was the Garden of the White Rose of the Saint Contifer Palace.
In this thousand-year-old palace, the sound of fighting and screams suddenly sounded. The Shire and Metisha's preparations for the defense played a role. With their cooperation with the Flame Family Knights, the Knights took advantage of the terrain and blocked the crystal clusters outside the tunnel.
But even so, there were still countless people who lost their lives in the hall outside.
Not to mention, the entire city of Rushta, which had hundreds of thousands of people, had already turned into a scorched earth. The Royal Family's long-distance teleportation array must be provided to the nobles first. In fact, only one in ten of the nobles in the inner city managed to escape, let alone the civilians outside the city.
Metisha obviously understood the tragic scene outside, but Brando wasn't here. She couldn't interfere with the decision of the Royal Family of Cruz.
Besides, even if the Lord was here, what could he do? You had no reason to blame anyone who escaped first. Perhaps some people could be noble enough to give their chance to escape to others, but you couldn't force everyone to be as perfect as a saint.
The Shire patted the little princess on the shoulder, "Don't think too much. Lady Canudell said that dusk has come. This is a disaster for the whole world, a fate shared by everyone."
"I understand." Metisha nodded. She felt the tremors outside the tunnel and knew that they couldn't defend it for long, "How many people haven't been teleported? What about Scarlet? "
"The crystal clusters are probably here for the Azure Lance," The Shire replied, "I asked Ovina's opinion and forcibly sent Miss Scarlet away, but Miss Ovina stayed. She wants to go with us."
Metisha nodded.
"What about us? How long do we have to wait here? "The Shire asked.
"I don't know, but I can't leave first. I think if the Lord was here, he would make the same decision." Metisha glanced outside and walked to the door, "We can't save everyone, but we can at least save ourselves."
"As you wish. Now I just hope that the Lord can come back soon …"
Another rumble came from the ground.
It was as if the whole tunnel was shaking. Dust rustled from the ceiling and many people fell down in screams. The Shire saw Little Nedwin walk out with a serious face. He saw them and asked, "What's going on? What happened now?"
The Shire was about to say that they didn't know, but at that moment, he saw a Knight of the Flame Family, whose face was covered in blood, stumble in from outside.
When they saw him, he shouted, "My lords, we're in big trouble. A meteorite pierced through the dome of the banquet hall and hit the entrance of the tunnel. Many of us died, and … and …"
"Don't panic, speak slowly." Little Nedwin frowned. The Knight of the Flame Family was an elite with rich experience and courage. If even they were in such a state, one could imagine how serious the situation outside was.
The Knight of the Flame Family gulped and replied, "And there are some strange things in the meteorite. They're monsters and they're very strong. We can't hold them off for long!"
"What kind of monsters?" The Shire asked.
"I don't know … I've never seen monsters like that. They're like mercury, but we can't kill them no matter what!"
The Nobles —
The Shire and Metisha were shocked at the same time.
