His iconic white mask, the moment it touched the Chaos Storm domain, instantly turned into nothingness like grains of sand!
Revealing the pale, handsome face beneath the mask, now completely distorted by extreme pain and fear!
His eyes were wide like brass bells!
Reflected in his golden pupils was the chaotic light and shadow, enough to make even gods tremble!
He desperately urged the last trace of magic power within him, attempting to condense a wind barrier and undead protection—however, in this rule-subverting Chaos Domain, his powerful wind magic power was like a bird whose wings had been stripped away, wildly dissipating!
The undead magic power, which he had deeply refined and which protected his soul like armor, disintegrated like an avalanche!
Under the erosion of Chaos, he even felt his fundamental soul, which sustained his life, being torn apart and decomposed!
He could even clearly "see" his body, starting from his fingertips, skin, muscles, bones... as if erased by an invisible eraser, being thoroughly obliterated from the level of "existence" bit by bit, under the scouring of this Chaos Storm!
Like the most intricate sand painting scattered by the wind!
It was an ultimate fear, transcending pain, concerning the negation of "one's own existence"!
Boom—
Crash!!!!
After a brief silence, seemingly transcending time, the deafening energy aftershock, like a delayed tsunami, swept across with overwhelming force!
The protective barrier, formed by six Holy Light Cards and fully supported by Cana, was instantly torn apart!
Her entire body was slammed by an invisible giant hammer, sent flying backward like a cannonball!
Blood gushed from her mouth!
Her body rolled a long distance on the hard, hot mountain rock, finally stopping only after crashing into the base of a large, broken stone wall!
Her bones felt like they were about to fall apart, her magic power source was like a dried-up deep well, and her brain was buzzing!
She struggled to lift her head, her vision blurred as she looked forward.
Smoke and chaotic energy currents gradually dispersed.
Centered on where Aria had just stood, within a hundred-meter radius, a massive, bowl-shaped crater several feet deep appeared, as if struck by a giant meteorite and then fiercely wiped clean by an invisible eraser!
The inner wall of the crater was smooth as a mirror, displaying an unsettling dark red color!
That was the bizarre form of the heat from the underlying volcanic lava pool being instantly melted, cooled, and then re-solidified!
At the bottom of the crater, the scorching red of the lava pool reappeared, bubbling.
In that vast, hot, suffocating deep pit, churning with deadly lava, there was no longer any trace of Aria.
One of the Ten Demon Generals, the genius of wind and undead, one of Jose Porla's sharpest blades—Aria, had been utterly erased from this world by the Fairy's Resolve, along with his corrupt and twisted beliefs.
"The path of light... doesn't need... dark tombstones..." Cana gasped with difficulty, looking at the deep lava pit that had swallowed her formidable enemy, a grim smile on her lips, her voice hoarse, yet carrying the relief of a settled dust and a completed mission.
She struggled to sit up, her fingers trembling as she reached for her card pouch at her waist, trying to find a card that could help her recover some stamina.
Boom—!
Just then!
From the direction of Nirvana Giant City, at the top of the core black tower towering above the ancient stone palace complex, an enormous dark purple soul light pillar suddenly erupted, tearing the sky and stirring souls!
Within the light pillar, countless twisted soul phantoms struggled and wailed!
A terrifying, furious pressure, enough to freeze the minds of all living beings on the entire battlefield, like a world-ending tsunami, instantly enveloped the entire Chaos Mountains!
Jose Porla's will, like the roar of a demon god, exploded in the depths of everyone's souls!
"Aria————————!!!"
This mournful roar carried the boundless rage of losing a beloved tool and the dignity of a tyrant severely offended!
Jose Porla's perception had already grasped the fact of Aria's complete disappearance.
One of the Ten Demon Generals, lost again!
Mission failed!
Cana's face instantly grew even paler, but a very ugly, victorious arc appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Erza... Erza... The big guy is up to you all..." She leaned against the cold stone wall, gazing at the distant, yet seemingly close, black tower light pillar, muttering to herself.
A deeper sense of exhaustion and collapse surged over her. She gritted her teeth, struggled to prop herself up again, and her gaze refocused on the massive core base of the sixth leg, still emitting dazzling yellowish-brown energy streams, located directly to the west, its back against the hot lava pool, like the heart of a monstrous beast.
Aria was dead, but the mission... was not yet complete!
