They can only hold on to this last hope.

Leave this furnace city.

"Is that why you deliberately chose to leave them hanging?"

Before Li Re finished speaking, another voice sounded again.

Li Re raised his eyes and looked over, and responded casually: "What else?"

"After the fire is extinguished, the Crucible City will inevitably be drawn into the abyss due to the Giant King's first glance, and it will become a tragic battlefield. Ordinary people will only die if they stay here, but those who can survive in the darkness can be considered tenacious. I don't have the leisure and confidence to think about how to convince them - so it's better to let them face the reality directly."

"This way, we can free up more time to prepare for more meaningful things."

"For example...what happens after the fire is put out."

"Ah."

The person asking the question slowly walked over to Li Re and sat down - sitting on the floor covered with a blanket like him. The warmth so close to him made Li Re raise his eyebrows, and the golden hair floating in front of him made his nose twitch slightly.

"It seems you are ready."

Li Re tilted his head and looked sideways at Antis who was dressed in gorgeous clothes.

The girl with bright blonde hair took a deep breath and nodded. She raised her blue eyes, and her silky hair swayed gently. Her hairstyle remained unchanged, but her slender upper body was wrapped in silver-white armor. Her undulating curves were shrouded by thick steel plates, and her knee-length skirt was embedded with iron armor that was as white as moonlight. Her long boots paced the ground, and her upright figure looked like a sharp blade out of its sheath under the heavy armor - with a stern and murderous heroic posture!

After sitting down, her skirt spread out like flower leaves.

The girl sitting on the ground still has her back straight!

"good."

Li Re looked him up and down: "He does look a bit like a knight."

"I am a knight."

Antis responded, and she also looked down at her own armor. This was her armor as a 'Silver Moon Knight', forged by her own professional strength...

But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she had not put on this armor for a long time.

"I've never seen such a rebellious knight like you... Get up, you are sitting on my hand." Li Re was speechless for a moment.

"Oh."

Antis was stunned for a moment, then she raised her hips which were tightly wrapped by trousers under her spread-out battle skirt...her face was slightly red.

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, the 'King's Knight' Arina rushed in from outside the door. When she saw Antis's outfit, she was obviously stunned for a moment, as if it was the first time she saw His Highness about to step onto the battlefield. She quickly came to her senses and said quickly, "Your Highness, the residents in the city have been evacuated."

"How many people are left?"

The one who responded to her was not Antis, but Li Re.

Arina responded with familiarity: "Three hundred soldiers who volunteered to stay, and... two Crucible Knights."

"Two Crucible Knights, three hundred soldiers, plus Bai Xi, who you prepared at the Ghost Story Amusement Park, should be enough."

Li Re raised his head.

Antis, who was also sitting on the ground opposite him, took a deep breath and stood up.

She said:

"Let everyone get ready."

"When the third hourglass day is over, turn off the engine immediately."

"Yes!"

Alina looked serious.

Under such an order.

The dragon's voice hovered in the sky and came down.

The last remaining furnace fire in the city, which was maintained by Antis' soul, began to gradually extinguish.

...

The furnace fires are dying, the abyss is awakening, undead dragons are circling the sky, and the city of the furnace is standing still in the darkness.

The scattered fires sounded the end of the world.

At this point, everyone knew—

"Fire extinguishing begins."

Chapter 397: Giants Resurrect, Abyss Unsettled

"Fire extinguishing begins."

In the underground library, an old man in a long robe and with thick hair and beard raised his head. His clumsy face, which was slightly deformed by the fire, moved slightly. There was a flame floating around him. The middle-aged man whom he called "Speaker" also raised his head and took a deep breath.

"Take the initiative to put out the fire?... Risking our lives in the face of death, this is really a crazy act - I don't know if we can still survive after this time."

The fire mage, 'Chairman' Anri, raised his hand with flames flickering. Although they were underground, they could feel the fire above them dying out bit by bit.

That is the fire in the furnace.

It is the fire that uses the soul of the Moon Princess as fuel and pierces the heart of the Giant King like a golden needle.

"It doesn't matter whether we can survive or not, but at least, we have all made it to the end—"

The 'Great Elder' closed the book in his hand.

The bookshelves on both sides seemed to sway slightly in the breeze caused by the closing of the books.

Rustling.

Almost at the same time.

A subtle and strange sound came from the deepest passage in the library.

Speaker Anri turned his head slightly, frowning slightly, and his equally thick beard trembled: "A monster from the abyss... It came so quickly."

"I'll go take care of it--" He was about to take a step forward, but stopped abruptly before he could even stretch out his foot.

A wooden crutch was placed in front of him.

Under the flickering light of the fire in the Fire Mage's hand, the elder's old, thin, yet unusually tall figure could be seen slowly walking out with a cane.

"It's been too long since I last did anything...Young people nowadays really think I'm just a frail old man."

The 'Great Elder' passed by Anri with a cane.

'Speaker' Anli stood still, and his eyes widened slightly - he stared at the old figure walking forward in front of him, and also at the 'Great Library' that suddenly lit up...

All the bookshelves and all the library rooms are brightened up!

"Why do you think I built the great library here?" The 'Great Elder' said this with his back to 'Speaker' Anri and his head raised. He faced the deep door leading to deeper depths, and for a moment he seemed to be under an infinite aura.

He said, "Because the Great Library is the second line of defense in this underground world to block the invasion of monsters from the abyss."

"I am a close friend of the last 'Silver Moon Knight' Andrei, and also the last remaining wizard of the Silver Moon Era, the last Moonstone Wizard - a wizard who condenses moon crystals as a medium."

"This large library is the 'Moonstone' that I have condensed!"

Moonstone Mage?

Anri's already wide eyes widened even wider, as if his eyeballs were about to pop out... Although he had not experienced the Silver Moon Age, he had heard of some things in that era - Knights and Mages have existed in every era, and Moonstone Mages, that is, mages of the Silver Moon Age, are spellcasters who can manipulate the light of the moon and are comparable to Silver Moon Knights!

In the world of fire, the moon is also fire - the refracted light of the first fire.

So the Moonstone Mage is also a 'Fire Mage'.

It's the more ancient fire mage!

The fire mages that are now spread all over the earth can, to some extent, be said to be the evolution of moonstone mages!

"If I didn't have this ability, I wouldn't have been able to survive the Silver Moon Fall—even though I was just an 'apprentice' like Andre at the time and wasn't at the core of the disaster."

The deep voice of the Great Elder echoed in the increasingly bright light of the Great Library.

He said:

"I've also said that I'm old, powerless, and unqualified to make the final decision for this world."

"But I can still burn out the last of this body."

"Light the last fire!"

Walking on the ground with a cane.

The light surges and gathers.

The moonlight seems to be rising from the ground!

...

ground.

The fire is still going out.

The flames on the huge furnace located in the center of the Crucible City, at the deepest point, were fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The flames that originally enveloped the entire Furnace City gradually faded away like a curtain that had been lifted.

The darkness surged and emerged like a tide.

Near the furnace, countless soldiers looked stern. They were wearing helmets and armor, holding weapons with stern expressions. The last remaining burning dark giant in front of them seemed to make uneasy twisting sounds.

The fire on the giant was also dying out.

Where the walls are high.

Standing on the top of the wall, the 'High Wall Guardian' Yablu Velvis tightly grasped the heavy sword and huge shield in his hands. The Crucible Knight forged from iron and fire could feel the things slowly emerging after the fire subsided. Standing on this high place, he could also clearly see the things hidden in the area originally covered by the light of the furnace.

dong dong!

When the wind blows, it seems to bring a sound like beating drums.

Boom boom boom!

Looking back from a distance, after the flames of the furnace that stood like a 'golden needle' in the center of the Furnace City subsided, it seemed as if something really came to life!

Is that the heart of the Giant King?

This thought came to everyone's mind at the same time.

Is this... the Heart of the Giant?

They stared at the darkness exposed beneath their feet and couldn't help but look horrified!

The ground seemed to be wriggling slightly at this moment, like flowing water, like pus swelling. The entire Crucible City seemed to be undulating on the waves... The surface of the soil was directly stretched and torn by the shadows, bursting layer by layer, and the buildings on it continued to collapse. The entire Crucible City, with the interior bounded by the high walls of the furnace, seemed to come alive -

Although His Highness Antis has already issued the announcement.

Although the soldiers who volunteered to stay were mentally prepared.

But at this moment, they were still a little stunned when looking at this scene.

Under the Crucible City...there really is the heart of the 'Giant King'!

His Highness Antis really didn't lie!

What emerges after the light fades away is nothing like a heart, isn't it?

Boom boom boom!

It was even still bulging and beating.

At this moment when the fire in the furnace is getting weaker, at this moment when the flames emitted are getting less and less, and at this moment when the darkness is swallowing up like a giant beast!

And in this voice.

People suddenly felt that the sky seemed to be responding to this encouragement.

Also started moving!

The earth is moving.

The sky is moving.

People’s hearts are also moving!

The legend about the Giant King was known to everyone as early as the camp days. After Li Re's first arrival and lighting up the sky, this existence that should have been known only to the old people who experienced the Silver Moon Age was no longer a secret.
