Eye of C'Thun: Destroyed
After admiring the Nodaka Crystal, Zul'ra stored it in her own space. She then continued to activate the Fel'dan's Skull, completely destroying and clearing away any remaining fragments of C'Thun's corpse found underground. She also attempted to search for more Nodaka Crystal, but unfortunately, she found nothing; there was only one inside C'Thun's body. 🐚🐠 ☞🐧
Although he didn't find any more Nodaka Crystal, Zul'ra was content. The Sky Star he had was over a cubic meter in size and weighed between 1.5 and 2 tons. Although it didn't sound like much, its value lay in its preciousness and the special Arcane energy it exuded. Perhaps it could even be used to build an energy source like the Well of Eternity.
While pondering the uses of the Nodaka Crystal, Zul'ra thoroughly searched the area, ensuring no blind spots were missed. Once C'Thun's corpse was completely destroyed, he prepared to fly back up, as there wasn't enough daylight underground, and he had no idea how long he had been down there.
"Oh, right, and Jagnos." Before taking off, Zul'ra saw the demon corpse gleaming with a faint green light in the darkness and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. After observing it repeatedly under the Light, he planned to break off the giant fangs growing from the Pit Lord's cheeks and take them back, but he didn't expect that these things were extremely hard.
Just as Zul'ra was about to break off Jagnos's fangs, a sound of something rolling on the ground in the darkness caught his attention. Looking closely, he saw a fist-sized, purplish-black sphere rolling off Jagnos's spine.
"What is that?" Zul'ra blinked as she looked at the purple bead that had rolled away on the ground. She picked it up and saw that it was a gemstone. The gemstone was purplish-black overall, with a golden horizontal line in the very center. It didn't seem quite like the one on Jagnos's body. It looked somewhat familiar, as if it resembled...
"How could I be a minion of the Fallen Titans!" Just as Zul'ra placed the purple-black orb against the Light, preparing to examine it closely, the golden horizontal line in the center of the crystal sphere opened like an eye, and at the same time, a soft murmur rang in her ears.
"C'Thun?" Zul'ra heard the whisper in her ear and stared wide-eyed at the open eye in the center of the crystal sphere.
"Yes, that's right, it's me, the transmigrator. You thought you had completely wiped me out, didn't you? Feeling smug..."
Zul'ra didn't wait for C'Thun to finish speaking. Instead, she threw it to the ground and enveloped it in a ball of the Light.
"Heh... It's useless. This fancy technique of the Light is completely ineffective against us. Compared to this..." Facing Zul'ra's the Light, the golden black pupil in the center of the purple-black orb revealed a sinister smile, but then it stopped smiling.
Zul'ra unleashed the Light into C'Thun's eyes with one hand, while summoning Fel'dan's Skull from the sky with the other. She also took out the Banner of Many Spirits. The Fel, divine power, and the original the Light merged and intertwined, enveloping the purple-black orb in the middle. This purple-black orb then released shadow energy, attempting to save itself.
"You think you can save the world by killing me? It's useless. This world will eventually perish, and the God of the Abyss will descend upon humanity."
The shadow energy was immediately absorbed by the Light upon its appearance. The energy generated by the friction between the Light, balanced by divine power, and the Fel energy was the perfect nemesis of the Old God. Unable to find a way to counter it, C'Thun could only try to sway Zul'ra's will with words, but...
"No, I didn't kill you to save the world, I just wanted to get rid of you." In response to C'Thun's words, Zul'ra simply continued to output energy, completely enveloping the Eye of C'Thun in a magic orb, and then threw it into the distant passage, while she hid in a dead corner of the rock wall.
"If you want to kill me, then you'd better be prepared..." C'Thun's words were abruptly cut off by a loud explosion. A cloud of dust billowed out from the energy blast channel. After the dust settled, Zul'ra walked into the channel and retrieved the shattered fragments of the crystal sphere. Unlike its previous flesh and blood form, the Eye of C'Thun was now a completely crystalline object.
Zul'ra feared the Old God was too treacherous, so she didn't dare touch the crystal fragments with her hands. After gathering them together, she used energy to blast them again, performing seven explosions in a row, until the crystal fragments were blasted into the finest pieces and turned to ash before she stopped.
After Zul'ra blasted the Eye of C'Thun to smithereens, leaving not even ashes, he clapped his hands in satisfaction. To be honest, if the Eye of C'Thun hadn't spoken, he might have kept it. But as soon as it spoke, he knew that it was absolutely not something to be kept; it was a menace and had to be eliminated using physical methods.
After completely destroying the Eye of C'Thun, Zul'ra searched the underground again, not only with his naked eyes but also with Arcane, the Light, and Fel before finally stopping. Just then, he suddenly heard a gust of wind rushing down from above.
"There's more?" Zul'ra's expression changed slightly as she heard the rush of wind overhead. She quickly stepped aside and saw a palm-sized rock land on the ground to her right with a muffled thud.
"Who threw that stone?" Zul'ra looked at the fallen stone and shouted angrily. Although the stone hadn't landed on him, it was still too dangerous. Didn't they know there were people up there?
"Zul'ra Jin, are you alright?" Bolvar's booming voice came faintly after a long while, very faintly.
"Of course I'm fine, stop throwing stones, you almost hit me just now." Zul'ra shouted a couple of times, then turned around to check Jagnos's body before taking off and flying upwards. As for Jagnos's body, he'd let someone else come down and retrieve it; he didn't want to put that thing with the Nodaka Crystal.
"What's down there? What happened to the corpse of the Old God?" Bolvar's booming voice grew clearer as they ascended.
"It's already been destroyed. Who threw that stone just now? It almost hit me." Zul'ra increased the speed of ascent and shouted back.
"..." There was no reply to Zul'ra's words. After a long while, a voice finally came. It wasn't Bolvar, but Brann.
"Zul'ra Jin, is there anything down there?"
"You'll see for yourself when you come down here." Zul'ra rolled her eyes at Brann, who was incredibly enthusiastic about archaeological excavations. Apart from the pile of insectoid corpses and a space where an Old God resided, there was nothing of value underground except for the valuable Sky Star that he had obtained and the powerful destruction of C'Thun's corpse and parts. But the other party might not believe her if she said that, so it was better to let him come down and see for himself.
