Irreparable Death

"Smack..."

A pebble, succumbing to gravity, fell from mid-air and struck the ground with a crisp sound.

The sound was extremely faint.

After all, it was just an ordinary pebble falling to the ground; normally, it would be a sound that couldn't even be heard.

However, at this very moment, that faint sound echoed very clearly all around, reaching every corner of this Crimson World.

It is easy to imagine how quiet this space had become.

No, that wasn't quiet, it was deathly stillness.

Like the calm after a great disaster, or the tranquility after a storm, everything in this space seemed to have come to a complete end, allowing an indescribable silence to permeate the air.

Upon closer inspection, the space that had been rendered red by the so-called "Sealed Heaven Inherent Skill" had already become a mess.

Along the riverbank, numerous potholes have been created, making the ground uneven and pitted.

On the river, the entire surface of the water seemed to have been split apart, creating a huge chasm.

The most terrifying of all is the Misaki Grand Bridge, which connects the east and west sides of Misaki City.

This large iron bridge, made of steel and asphalt, now appears as if it has been cut in two, as if it had been cleaved apart.

If the Sealed Heaven hadn't been still in operation, this area would undoubtedly have suffered an unimaginable catastrophe, instead of remaining in this state.

At the very least, the river, now divided in two, will inevitably plunge into the massive ravine like a waterfall, and the Misaki Grand Bridge, now severed in two, will also experience a series of collapses, sweeping away vehicles and pedestrians from the surrounding area.

That was such a horrifying Matoba.

In this scene, only one thing is still moving.

That was the pure white giant sword that was gradually shrinking.

"Buzz..."

With a slight tremor, the surging Star Pulse Energy began to recede, causing the massive, pure white lightsaber to slowly shrink back to its original size.

"Zheng..."

The dazzling light on the pure white Omni-element Crystal began to subside, gradually dimming.

The icy blue hue in Fang Li's eyes gradually faded, allowing the dark luster to return.

"Call..."

Fang Li let out a heavy breath, feeling the considerable amount of Star Pulse Energy he had consumed, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his Fang Li.

"At least we won't be exhausted in one strike..."

If this attack had occurred before Fang Li reached the Fourth Level, it would have drained all of his Star Pulse Energy.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that if one hadn't yet reached the Fourth Level, whether or not this attack could even be executed was still an unknown.

Looking at the horrifying scene where everything from himself, starting from the Minami River, all the way to the other side of the Misaki Grand Bridge, had been neatly cut apart, like a scar on the earth, Fang Li couldn't help but tighten his grip on the culprit that caused all this, and let out a bitter laugh.

"I underestimated your power a little, Bō Xié..."

Previously, Fang Li had not been able to fully control Bō Xié's power, which meant that this Third Level Pure Star Imperial Armament could only exert abilities equivalent to the Fourth Level.

Now, Fang Li is certain that he has finally unleashed the true power of this Pure Star Imperial Armament.

Otherwise, with only the power of the Fourth Level, it would be absolutely impossible to cause such a terrifying attack.

"I should have toned it down a bit..."

As he said this, Fang Li turned his head and looked at the riverbank not far away.

There, Fariagani was lying on the ground, stretching his hand outward with all his might.

In front of Fariagani's hand, a doll-like figure lay there, neatly cut in half.

Fariagani desperately reached out towards the doll that had been cut in half.

"Marian ... Marian ..."

Yes.

That doll was Fariagani's lover, whom he attempted to collect a large amount of Power of Existence through a secret method of City Devour, so that it could be reborn and freed from Phosphorus's identity.

Unfortunately, the doll named Marian was already dead beyond any doubt.

Just as Fang Li's greatsword was about to strike Fariagani, the puppet suddenly appeared in front of Fariagani, blocking the attack for him.

Naturally, this attack could not be blocked.

Because Fang Li used not only Bō Xié, but also the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

This strike, aimed directly at the Death Lines, is impossible to block, no matter how strong the defense is.

However, Marian's desperate resistance bought Fariagani a tiny, insignificant amount of time.

Therefore, the final sword strike did not cleanly slice Fariagani in half, but instead slightly to the side, slicing off half of Fariagani's body starting from his shoulder.

"Bang..."

Under the burning pale white flames, Fariagani's severed half of his body gradually turned to ashes and disappeared.

Fariagani's body, now only a head and half a torso, continued to writhe on the ground, crawling towards Marian, who had been cut in two.

"Marian ...my dear Marian ..."

Finally, Fariagani crawled to Marian and picked her up with his only remaining hand.

Stroking his servant, who had been severed in two, in his arms, Fariagani's pale face revealed a shrill smile, as if he had fallen into a trance, and he murmured to himself.

"It's okay... it's okay... I'll help you recover right now... I'll help you right now..."

As he said this, Fariagani blew a breath onto the doll in his arms.

The pale white flames immediately adhered to Marian's body with this breath and slowly began to burn.

That is the Power of Existence.

Whether it's Crimson Realm Denizens or the phosphorus they create, as long as they have enough Power of Existence, they can be used to repair the body.

If it's just a phosphorus particle, then with the Power of Existence of a Crimson King, repairing it would be extremely easy, and even resurrection wouldn't be a problem; it would just require consuming a lot more of Power of Existence.

However, the puppet, whose entire body was burning with highly pure Power of Existence, never recovered.

"Why... why..."

Fariagani trembled all over and screamed wildly.

"Why can't it be fixed?!"

The one who can answer this question is naturally Fang Li.

"Because I have already killed her."

Fang Li, who had appeared Fang Li Fariagani at some unknown time, looked down at him with an extremely calm expression and said this.

"That is an irreversible and Irreparable Death. Even if you turned the entire world into the Power of Existence to repair it, you still couldn't revive her."

"She is dead."

Fariagani's trembling body stopped.

"Dead...?"

The Crimson King, who held the title of "The Hunter," was completely stunned.
