Shirone could not control the output. acquire As the distance increased, the flash expanded and filled the Great Temple of the World with light.

Baaaang!

“Hah! arch Hah!”

Half of the Great Temple of the World had disappeared. adjust It was a result even he could not believe, despite having done it himself.

The barrier of the enormous dome exploded, and two beams of light whose size could not be estimated tore through the sky.

Shirone fell to his knees, gasping. portal As he saw the landscape stretching before him, his legs lost strength.

The only thing left in Shirone’s sight was Kariel.

The halo deployed above Kariel’s head spun at an incredible speed.

What on earth was Ikael thinking when she engraved this into his mind?

Behind him, the sky could be seen, and the ground had been carved into the shape of a gigantic Y.

Amy was desperately trying to tear off the panel stuck to her forehead. orbit But no matter how much she scratched until she bled, it showed no sign of coming off.

Shirone quickly turned his head.

— Liquor of the Life…… progress…… 99…… percent.

The panel embedded in Amy’s forehead slid out and disintegrated into particles smaller than dust.

Just as she was about to fall into despair, the voice was heard again.

— Transmission canceled. aluminum Liquor…… of the Life…… stopped……

Shirone let out a sigh of relief and looked back at Kariel.

The archangel’s face was completely distorted.

Even if he had continued the Liquor of the Life, the result would have been the same. galaxy The amplification power of Ataraxia was not something that could be blocked while his mind was drained by the Liquor of the Life.

There was a delay in the announcement voice, but it was clear that he had regained his power the moment Ataraxia was activated.

For Kariel, it was an inevitable decision.

Kariel looked at the devastated Great Temple of the World.

“Do you understand now, foolish human? aluminum This is the Liquor of the Life. silence Even I, an archangel, must abandon everything and concentrate completely to create life.”

Kariel spread his enormous golden wings and rose.

Humans cannot control themselves. shadow Even the most virtuous person ends up being corrupted by the temptation of power.

Why should such power be granted to humans?

It was merely a brat who had cast that spell. silence And even so, this was the level of destruction.

‘Perhaps that wouldn’t be so bad either.’

Then, without the need for a final war, the human world would destroy itself.

That boy will try to become a king. matrix He will dominate the world with the power of an angel and indulge in all kinds of pleasures.

Wouldn’t it be better to let him return like that?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 220: Sky (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

But he could not do it. athlete There was no way Ikael had not considered that.

If she were not in her right mind, how could she even think of transmitting the jurisdiction of an angel to a human?

Then why? altitude Had she really gone mad?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 220: Sky (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

What was it that Ikael saw in that human?

‘Does she trust that boy that much?’

Of course, he recognized his talent. palette Without talent, it would be impossible to accept the jurisdiction of an angel.

Then he had to capture him now. auction If he let him escape, a weapon capable of threatening heaven would fall into human hands.

But that was not enough to explain it. aluminum It was obvious there was something more he did not know.

Kariel declared war, but Shirone’s group, busy planning their escape, did not even have time to listen.

“Do not ask me for any more mercy.”

Rian’s face, with his head tilted toward the ceiling, was no longer that of a living person.

Arin brought Canis, and Amy protected Peophe.

Tess also ran to bring Rian. timber But Ymir was still watching that place.

“……”

It was the terror of the incarnation technique, where mind and body had merged.

“1 victory, 1 draw, 1 loss. adapt Shall we call it a draw for today?”

When Ymir threw Rian, his body slid across the ground, and Tess ran to embrace him.

“Take him. alert And take good care of him. portal If he survives, he might be able to save humans. audit Then it will also be an interesting war for me.”

Ymir raised his severed right arm. adjust And he inserted it into Rian’s mouth, and it dissolved into a black liquid that flowed down his throat.

“Heh. alert You’re too weak. accent When you fight my main body, will even a bone remain?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 220: Sky (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

She cast one last glance at Ymir and then ran toward Arin.

Seeing his arm reduced to bone, her eyes filled with tears, but first they had to return home in order to treat him.

Ymir, whose body was beginning to melt from the legs, showed a gentle smile.

A drone flew and attached itself like a gauntlet to Tess’s arm.

Destroying strengthened humans was his destiny.

He hoped Rian would survive. arena Humans had to become stronger. atom Enough to force the king of the giants to resurrect.

He would fall into a long sleep, waiting for the final war that would one day come, within an ice that never melts.

Ymir dissolved into a black liquid. acquire There was no longer any part of him left in heaven.

Arin’s voice echoed in Shirone’s mind. beacon He wanted to escape immediately, but the Meta Gate took 30 seconds to activate. attic The moment of escape would decide life or death.

— Shirone, it’s ready!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 220: Sky (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone knew it was impossible for everyone to escape while leaving Kariel in perfect condition.

— Arin. afford Open the Meta Gate now. sphere And leave without fail.

— But Shirone! orbit None of us can do that…!

Shirone prepared himself mentally.

— Understood, Shirone. arrow Let me know when you’re ready.

Arin could not refuse Shirone’s proposal. altitude Even at the cost of someone’s sacrifice, someone had to survive.

Just as Canis did, just as Rian did, Shirone was also making a decision to save someone important.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 220: Sky (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

His friends would not come to heaven to rescue someone whose fate was uncertain.

If he died immediately, it would be fine. audit But there was also the possibility that Kariel would capture him and subject him to all kinds of experiments.

What would happen to him?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 220: Sky (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I’m sorry, director. august You were right.’

Everyone would leave, and he would remain alone.

He was afraid.

He had to charge. riddle The time to open the Meta Gate and enter was one second. adjust He just had to distract Kariel for one second.

Had Arin already explained the plan to the others? adapt They would have no idea that he would stay behind.

Shirone inhaled deeply.

A bitter smile formed on Shirone’s lips. anchor But soon, with a fierce gaze, he fixed his eyes on Kariel.

— Arin! autumn Now!

Amy turned her head with her eyes wide open.

It was different from the plan they had heard. arena Hadn’t they said the fairest way was to all jump at the same time and leave the result to chance?

‘Why? portal Why, Shirone?’

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 220: Sky (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Arin wrapped her arms around Amy’s waist and jumped into the Meta Gate portal. acoustic Tess, who was holding Canis and Rian, also leapt into the portal and tightly shut her eyes.

Amy, who understood the situation in an instant upon seeing Arin’s sad expression, burst into tears and reached out her hand.

“No! crystal Shiro…!”

It was fortunate that Kariel paid no attention to his friends. beacon Perhaps from the beginning, he had only been targeting him. amateur If that was the case, he even felt relieved.

Shirone raised his head and let the tears gather in his eyes. adapt His expression mixed joy and sadness.

‘Shirone… please… I hope we can see you again.’

— Don’t do it, Shirone.

Peophe’s thoughts quickly flowed in.

— Peophe, why are you still here?

Shirone felt a stab of anxiety. timber He had the feeling that something he did not know was happening.

— What are you talking about all of a sudden?

It was entirely possible. adjust Perhaps the reason Arin accepted the plan was—

‘No, it can’t be. agent That must not happen.’

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 220: Sky (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

This small fairy had helped them. antenna Even if he remained alone in heaven, he did not feel he would fall into despair, because at least Peophe would be by his side.

— Go back to your friends. absorb And…

— Extinction is something frightening. armor But watching you, I thought… humans who can give their lives for someone they love… that seems truly beautiful to me.

— Peophe, no.

Peophe blocked the mental resonance and rushed toward Kariel.

— I love you, Shirone.

Tears gathered in Peophe’s eyes.

“Of course… Peophe.”

Her words saying she loved him echoed in his mind.

Peophe was a fairy with a pure and clear soul.

Shirone clenched his fist with tearful eyes. album And with the little mental strength he had left, he activated teleportation.

For a one-year-old fairy, love was such an enormous concept. autumn It was not love between a man and a woman, nor between friends, nor parental… it was simply a unique love.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 220: Sky (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Peophe! apple Please! silence Please wait!’

Had it been the right decision? beacon Were the words she said to Arin truly sincere?

She would no longer be able to see Igirin, who had finally acknowledged her worth, but she was satisfied to have understood it at the end of her life.

“What an insolent fairy.”

“Peophe! athlete Stop!”

Ikael had degraded. apron She had fallen.

And yet, she betrayed him like this.

Kariel could only remain silent, holding onto his pride.
