[Solar Flare (9th-Tier)]
[Type: Short Sword]
[Attributes:
① Extreme Heat: A magical assassin-type weapon. It is not sharp in itself, but converts the user’s Mana into intense heat at a 300% conversion rate.
② Ignition: Wounds inflicted cannot heal and will cause continuous burn damage.
③ Immunity: The user is immune to 99.9% of Solar Flare’s temperature effects.]
[Additional Active Skill:
‘Sun of Extinction’: Instantly channels a massive amount of Mana to unleash a strike akin to a falling sun. During this moment, the Mana-to-heat conversion rate increases to 3000%. Cooldown: 11 days. After use, all of Solar Flare’s attributes become dormant for 11 days.]
[Notes: The Genesis Ballad records that in a distant primordial era, there were two suns in the sky, one large and one small. Now, only one remains. Do you know why?]
What?
Its true origin is that it was nurtured from the power of a sun that fell in the primordial era.
Solar Flare, a 9th-Tier Divine Artifact, had been brought out by Weilin before at the auction. But the Snow Maiden’s timely appearance neutralized the crisis Wu Yin brought, preventing Solar Flare from showing its edge.
Perhaps only here, on this god-demon battlefield where everyone watched her battle the Ancient Demonic Creature, the Snow Giant, was it truly worthy of Solar Flare blooming with its divine brilliance.
One hundred thousand points of Mana. After conversion, that meant a terrifying temperature of 300,000 degrees Celsius…
Even with 99.9% immunity, Weilin was constantly enveloped in a 300-degree heat. Had she not used her Mana to isolate this temperature, her body would have combusted entirely…
Yet, the cement ground beneath Weilin’s feet was not so fortunate. It blazed like wood-pulp paper under a flame, igniting without fire, peeling away layer by layer, rising into the sky within the flames, then quickly burning to ash… and that ash was instantly incinerated into nothingness…
In just two seconds of standing there, the ground had melted and sunk an unknown number of inches…
The distorted air resembled an extreme blur of steam and fog intermingled, making it impossible to see the girl’s figure clearly within.
As a Divine Artifact directly tied to the user’s Mana Attribute, Solar Flare could only unleash such terrifying power in Weilin’s hands. An ordinary Archmage had only a thousand or two thousand Mana at most. Even if they used ‘Sun of Extinction’, they could only ignite a temperature of thirty thousand degrees— a mere tenth of Weilin’s normal state…
“Spatial Warp.”
In an instant, Weilin appeared high in the sky, fifty meters above the Snow Giant’s head. Then, her body plummeted downwards.
Hsss…!
Mana poured in without reservation. The already intensely radiant blade was then coated with a blazing, blinding golden light, like a solar flare so dense and dazzling that a mere glance could sear one’s sight blind…
“Sun… of Extinction————!!”
A wildly distorted heat wave, reaching three thousand degrees, slammed against the Mana Shield bursting forth from Weilin’s body.
Beyond that was an extreme temperature that skyrocketed to three million degrees Celsius— equivalent to roughly 600 times the surface temperature of the sun…!!
It was as if even sound had been vaporized into nothing. The billions of floating snowflakes in the sky ignited in one instant and were annihilated in the next. For dozens of miles around, it felt like the world had fallen into the most scorching inferno, countless structures below burning and crumbling to ash…
In less than a microsecond of exposure, it caused an apocalypse of melting heaven and earth. The Sun of Extinction’s radiance, unleashing three million degrees, painted a hundred miles of sky a pure, reddish-gold. It truly resembled a searing, small sun falling from the heavens…
Thus, two suns shared the sky. One was gentle and tranquil, unconcerned with the world. The other, a golden radiance shining upon the world, shot with incomparable violence into the Snow Giant’s skull…!
Silent. Not even the sound of a single snowflake collapsing could be heard.
The frenzied Snow Giant abruptly halted its mindless, destructive rampage.
The “Snow Mountain Giant,” which humanity could only gaze upon in helpless terror while prostrating, had its Mana Core incinerated in a single strike the moment this sun shot into its body. All of its internal structure began to dissolve at an extreme speed, like melting water.
It did not fail to live up to its name as an Ancient Demonic Creature. Even against the Sun of Extinction unleashed by Weilin, the Snow Giant’s impossibly tough body did not evaporate entirely or explode without resistance.
When ‘Sun of Extinction’ ended…
Even though its insides had been completely vaporized, utterly devoid of life, its massive outer form was astonishingly preserved in a relatively complete state.
The thirty-plus zhang corpse of the Snow Giant stiffly collapsed towards the ground.
The body, which moments ago seemed somewhat whole, crumbled upon this collapse. It was as if its invincible form had been nothing but a hollow shell covered in feathers…
Retracting Solar Flare, Weilin flew down from the sky and landed lightly beside the Snow Giant. This was her first time expending such a massive amount of Mana, and a faint sheen of fragrant sweat beaded on her pristine white forehead.
That should be the end of it, right?
She thought.
“I… admit… right now, you are… the stronger one………”
!!
A sudden, blurry, disjointed, and sinister voice made Weilin’s gaze turn cold. She glanced towards the Snow Giant’s head, where its five features had collapsed and were unrecognizable.
The Snow Giant was absolutely dead. But Wu Gu’s consciousness, not yet completely annihilated, was squeezing out its last dregs of Mana to control the Snow Giant’s ruined head and produce sound…
“But… even if it’s you… it’s impossible to save the Snow Kingdom from its fated destruction…”
“The Empire… Luotendo… not to mention… the Federation’s Star God… no matter how much you struggle… it’s just a mantis trying to stop a chariot… courting destruction…”
“Heh… hahaha… all of this, all of this is the fault of that King’s Sister!… Hand over the Divine Crystal and nothing would have happened… but she just had to… drag the Snow Kingdom into hell… otherwise… why would the Snow Kingdom have to perish… why would this King have been reduced to this state…!!”
“However… heh… haha, hahahaha!!… It… doesn’t matter… because I will be waiting in hell for you all to come join me in burial soon!!!!”
The voice, brimming with a hatred carved deep into the bones, was raspy and dark, like a series of terrifying curses.
“No need to wait.”
Weilin’s calm face remained impassive, but in the depths of her dark eyes burned a fury and killing intent far more violent than the ‘Sun of Extinction’.
“Because we will not go to hell.”
Weilin coolly stretched out her hand. In an instant, Illumination Spell + Gentle Breeze Spell + Electric Discharge, all cast seamlessly. Condensed flames, destructive lightning, and terrifying hurricanes surged in her palm simultaneously. Three elements intertwined madly, and within a breath, a nearly one-hundred-meter-long Flame Thunder Wind Demon Tornado Greatsword condensed into being.
“Ten years ago, I had no choice.”
“But as for now… Your Highness, the Second Prince, just watch carefully from that place called hell. A mantis might not necessarily fail to stop a chariot. If you want to destroy what I, Lega Weilin, protect, you must also consider whether the Empire and Federation are prepared to see their civilization set back a thousand years!!!!!”
In an instant, the light of the hundred-meter-long Flame Thunder Wind Demon Tornado Greatsword fell perfectly straight upon the Snow Giant’s ruined body.
A long river, formed of converging flames, lightning, and tempests, rushed and flowed across the earth, consuming and erasing the last traces of the Snow Giant and Wu Gu’s existence.
“…Ten… years ago?”
In the far distance, obscured by the wind and snow, a peerlessly beautiful girl, the embodiment of all Ice and Snow Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth, had witnessed everything that happened here. At this moment, the Young Majesty gazed at the slender figure walking resolutely away step by step, a look of slight confusion on her face.
She was certain she had never met Weilin before, even ten years ago…
Weilin…
Who… are you really…
The snow had never stopped falling in the Snow Domain. Not long after, a heavier snowfall quickly buried everything that had happened in Mistlight City.
