Chapter 188 A Glimmer of Light Shining into the Heart
She instinctively reached out and touched it; it was a sapphire necklace polished into the shape of a teardrop.
The hard touch from my fingertips was like a faint electric current, instantly piercing through the thick fog of fear.
Warm scenes flooded my mind like a tide.
She left the royal court and went to Lelita alone to seek refuge.
She joined the Potions School and became an apprentice of Master Karin.
Within the school, she met her best friend Harris, and the two formed a research group together.
Then, in the library, she met Li Ang by chance, and thus acquired her first knight.
Later, she joined the law enforcement team and met more partners, including Olivia, Helena, and Ludick.
She was no longer the helpless child who could only hide in the earthenware pot and watch her mother be murdered.
She is Sandramea Maxwell, the princess of the dwarves, the wizard apprentice of Lyleita, a member of Special Operations Group One, and a queen who shoulders the future of her people!
A scorching power pumped from my heart to every part of my body, dispelling the coldness in my heart and the stiffness in my limbs.
She took a deep breath, and with a sudden burst of strength, pushed open the lid of the earthenware pot on her head!
"stop!"
The innocent voices of children echoed through this blood-soaked forest clearing.
The robbers, who were committing violence, turned around in astonishment and saw the little girl, less than sixty centimeters tall, standing out of the earthenware pot.
The bandits burst into laughter, even stopping their killing spree and looking at the little creature with mocking expressions.
Her body was trembling, but her emerald green eyes showed no fear, only growing more resolute.
"You are not allowed to—harm my mother!"
She screamed, waving her fists, and charged at the bandits who were many times her size.
At the same time, Li Ang also fell into his own abyss of fear.
The scene before him was familiar, but this time it was even more brutal, so brutal that his heart almost stopped beating.
The Riley Tower—collapsed. The towering wizard's tower, a symbol of knowledge and power, broke in two. The massive tower collapsed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust. Burning debris was scattered everywhere, like a post-apocalyptic ruin.
The city was filled with glowing red magical beasts and hordes of dark sorcerers.
His companions, who were supposed to be protecting Riley City with him, had already lost their breath.
Helena lay beside a murky puddle, her eyes devoid of any light, her wand broken in two, and a huge hole in her chest.
Ludick lay on the ground, his glasses shattered, dark red blood spreading beneath him. His thick notebook, which he always carried with him, was now burned to charred edges.
Sandramea, her petite body lay quietly amidst the rubble, her once bright green eyes now dimmed.
Her warhammer was nowhere to be found, and the shield in her hand was shattered.
Her body was severed at the waist, and her dried, blackened blood soaked the ground beneath her.
Captain Eric leaned against a broken wall, his eyes wide open, clutching his wand and pocket watch tightly in his hands, but he no longer seemed to have any life.
Elisa, Miguel, Remus, Gwen—the members of the Eighth Squad—all fell in various tragic ways on the land they had sworn to protect.
Further away, Olivia's massive, dark red dragon body lay prostrate on the ground, its once gleaming scales peeled away in large pieces, revealing the mangled flesh beneath.
One of her dragon wings was cruelly torn off and thrown far away. Her huge dragon head drooped limply, her red vertical pupils dim and lifeless. Only her faint breaths proved that she was still alive, but she was already on her deathbed.
"No—no!"
Leon let out a heart-wrenching roar. He wanted to rush forward immediately, unleash spells to kill the dark sorcerer and the monster, and pull out a healing potion to save his companion.
But he suddenly realized that he had nothing now.
His surging spiritual power vanished, and the potion bag filled with various magical potions also disappeared.
He looked down at his hands.
Those were hands that lacked exercise, and were even somewhat pale and weak, belonging to that of an ordinary office worker in his previous life.
He reverted to being an ordinary person, struggling to make a living in a small county town.
There is no system, no magic, and no superhuman physical abilities.
At the edge of this mountain of corpses and sea of blood, a terrifying being of indescribable size was slowly moving.
He has a thousand heads and a thousand hands.
Each of His heads was uttering insanely incoherent words.
With each swing of its arms, it easily crushed the remaining ruins of Riley City into dust.
Just by looking at him, you can feel your soul trembling and crumbling.
Li Ang was all too familiar with this aura; it was undoubtedly another evil god.
The evil god, the dark sorcerer, and the monsters joined forces to destroy Lyrita, killing all his companions.
He was only a level two wizard.
No, he's not even a wizard anymore, just an ordinary person with no strength to even kill a chicken. What can he do?
An unprecedented sense of powerlessness and despair, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed him.
He even had difficulty standing, trembling under the terrifying pressure emanating from the evil god.
"I—can't do anything—"
"I can't save them—"
"I am too weak—"
Just as his consciousness was about to be completely swallowed by this endless despair, a warm feeling came from his chest.
Immediately afterwards, a series of images flooded uncontrollably into his almost frozen mind.
"Children, you did a great job. You are worthy of the name of the enforcement team. Tonight, you upheld the dignity of Lelita."
""
The gentle voice of the Carlos faction leader echoed in his memory.
The Gorman faction leader patted him on the shoulder, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration: "Li Ang, you did a fantastic job."
The team members sat around in a private room in the cafeteria. Maya was loudly drinking and singing, while Olivia was engrossed in eating. Helena and Ludik were laughing and joking around on the side.
Eric, Elisa, Miguel, Remus, Gwen—
One by one, vivid faces, filled with trust and expectation, gazed at him.
The heartwarming scenes, like sparks igniting in the darkness, dispelled the despair in his heart.
The warmth in my chest gradually spread, and soon even my fingers began to feel slightly warm.
He subconsciously looked down to check.
He looked at his pale, powerless hands, which belonged to the overworked office worker of his past life.
The next moment, his pupils contracted slightly.
On his fingers, three rings that originally belonged to him were gradually solidifying from illusion.
The first one to appear was the dark silver ring on the middle finger of his left hand.
Li Ang clearly remembered that it was given to him by his mentor, Eve, after he won the Silver Crucible Competition.
