Chapter 667: Chapter 667: The Dark Demigod Unleashed
After repeated urging from the others, Maxwell finally agreed to rescue Julian.
“Since all of you want me to go save him, then I’ll do it,” Maxwell said firmly.
But then he shifted his tone.
“However, I expect you to finish your tasks once I leave. You must work with the Stellar Empire’s army to bring down Withered Tree Fortress as soon as possible.
Yes, the outer walls of Withered Tree Fortress are already crumbling, but that might just be a trick. Don’t let yourselves be fooled by appearances.”
He reminded them again, stressing every word.
The members of Ancient Academy nodded heavily in response. They just wanted Maxwell to move quickly, because if he delayed any longer, Julian might already be dead.
Maxwell could see what they were thinking, so he smiled faintly.
“Since you understand, I won’t waste more time. I’ll go into Withered Tree Fortress to rescue Julian. You stick to our plan and act as we agreed.”
The moment he finished, Maxwell vanished into a swirl of black smoke.
Those who knew him well understood—the black smoke was one of Maxwell’s mystical beasts carrying him away.
At the same time that Maxwell set out to rescue Julian, the battle deep in the underground chambers of Withered Tree Fortress was reaching its peak.
Neither Charles nor Harbor could overpower the other.
The fight between the Dark Demigod and the Angel of Light was a clash of pure light and darkness, each force pressing against the other without giving way.
The battle between the Frost Giant King and the Twin-Winged Savage Gold-Eater Beast was pure brute combat. But with both beasts boasting incredible defense, neither could gain a decisive edge.
As for the other mystical beasts, their fights were locked in the same kind of stalemate.
Charles still held one final card in his hand—Chrono Rabbit.
But he hadn’t played it yet, because he knew it had to be used at just the right moment. Chrono Rabbit’s power to twist the flow of time could change everything, but Harbor was clearly prepared this time. He wouldn’t be so easily caught off guard again.
Charles even suspected Harbor still had other mystical beasts he hadn’t revealed.
And his guess was right. Harbor did have a few beasts left in reserve, but they weren’t especially strong. Even if he summoned them all, they wouldn’t be enough to secure a quick victory.
And so, the two sides were locked in a tense deadlock.
The black gold long knife and the Blade of Life clashed again and again.
Charles and Harbor were steadily wearing each other down. The fight seemed like it could only end by seeing whose strength would run out first.
Just when both of them thought the battle was doomed to drag on endlessly, a sudden shift erupted in the clash between the Angel of Light and the Dark Demigod.
As the two mystical beasts fought, waves of light and darkness spread outward in every direction.
At last, the overwhelming light attribute energy resonated with the Gem of Light itself.
A channel of pure radiance linked the Gem of Light directly to the Angel of Light.
Already immensely powerful, the Angel of Light now surged with an endless flood of divine energy. Its form expanded in an instant, towering and magnificent.
Before everyone’s eyes, a glowing angelic silhouette appeared, blazing with light and heat.
Behind it stretched eighteen radiant wings.
The Angel of Light had fully revealed its holy form.
A torrent of light power burst outward from its shining figure, flooding everything around it.
The Dark Demigod was crushed beneath the weight of that brilliance. With no shadows left to hide in, it shrank into nothing more than a tiny black sphere.
Seeing this, Charles’s heart tightened with panic.
He knew mousie was on the very edge of life and death. The Dark Demigod’s soul was strong—almost impossible to erase completely—but even it could suffer irreversible damage under such overwhelming light.
Charles couldn’t stand by any longer. He had to save mousie.
He slashed down at Harbor with all his might.
Harbor dodged at once—he had no intention of taking the black gold long knife head-on. Even the Blade of Life would cost him far too much power to block it directly. Avoiding the strike was simply the best choice.
Charles seized the moment.
Breaking free from Harbor’s engagement, he rushed straight toward the Dark Demigod.
Even though he doubted he could truly stand against the Angel of Light now that it was supercharged, he couldn’t abandon mousie to its fate.
Charles’s move caught Harbor off guard. But Harbor reacted quickly enough.
He immediately ordered the Frost Giant King to intercept.
The Frost Giant King broke away from its fight with the Twin-Winged Savage Gold-Eater Beast and charged at Charles with full speed.
The Twin-Winged Savage Gold-Eater Beast chased close behind.
But to ensure the Frost Giant King could carry out its task, Harbor stepped forward and blocked the Gold-Eater Beast’s path.
“You’re not going any farther,” Harbor said coldly to the massive creature.
The Gold-Eater Beast let out a furious roar, but even so, it couldn’t break past Harbor’s blockade.
On Charles’s side, though his reaction was already quick, he was still slowed down by the Frost Giant King.
By the time he reached mousie, it had already suffered terrible injuries.
It could no longer maintain its Dark Demigod form.
Crushed by the endless flood of light and heat, mousie curled into a trembling ball.
Charles’s heart ached. He could only gather mousie into his hand, holding it close.
Not far away, the Angel of Light still radiated an unstoppable tide of light and heat.
Now it had locked onto Charles as its target.
Gathering all of its luminous power, it enveloped Charles in a blazing space of pure brilliance—scorching, destructive, and mercilessly bright.
There was no trace of shadow left.
Charles could feel his body slowly burning away.
But he had no regrets.
He had come here for one reason: to save mousie.
“Don’t worry,” Charles whispered softly, forcing a faint smile. “I won’t let any other mystical beast take your life. No matter what happens, I’ll stay with you. I’ll keep you safe.”
Even as he spoke, his body trembled violently—simply because he was already at his breaking point.
Mousie, though terrified, could see clearly how far Charles was willing to go for it.
Suddenly, mousie’s gaze snapped toward the Angel of Light, its emotions boiling into sheer fury.
Just as Charles was about to speak again, he noticed black shadows creeping across his palm.
Before he could even understand what was happening, the shadows linked together—and in the next instant, darkness swallowed everything around him.
The crushing brilliance, the blinding heat—it all vanished.
“What’s going on? Was this your doing, mousie?”
Charles asked in confusion.
Right now, he couldn’t sense anyone else’s presence but his own. It felt as though this place existed just for him.
“Don’t worry, Master. Leave everything to me! All you need to do is watch.”
Mousie’s voice echoed from somewhere far away.
Charles didn’t know where it was coming from—only that all of this was mousie’s doing. That realization steadied his heart, and he quickly calmed down.
Not far away, a sudden patch of light appeared, showing a window to what was happening in the real world.
Mousie had once again taken on the form of the Dark Demigod.
This time, however, it was even larger than before. The darkness it radiated was so overwhelming it even pressed back the mighty light of the Angel of Light.
The shift stunned every mystical beast on the battlefield. Even Harbor froze in place.
“What’s happening? How could this beast return again? Does that mean even the Angel of Light’s overwhelming power can’t fully suppress it?”
As Harbor’s mind spun with doubt, he suddenly realized something crucial—Charles had vanished.
He hurriedly tried to locate him.
But just as he started searching, the Dark Demigod raised a massive sword forged of pure shadow and slashed it down on the Angel of Light.
That radiant being—so powerful it once seemed invincible, nearly impossible to kill—was shattered in an instant.
The shadow-forged blade cut straight through its body of pure light, breaking it apart completely.
At the same time, the collision of light and darkness exploded with tremendous force.
Harbor, caught unprepared, was struck hard and badly wounded.
From where he stood, Charles could see the shock on Harbor’s face, and behind it—the look of despair.
“So this… this is the Dark Demigod’s true power,” Charles murmured to himself, deep in thought.
