Chapter 267: Fallen Angel D93.3

""

The hero’s small face also tightened, and her grip on the backpack strap slightly strengthened.

Although she did not expect everything to be so easy, she had thought that maybe just bringing the gemstone here could help Sister White Snake... However, reality was evidently not as smooth as she imagined.

Then, as if feeling the approach of life, a sound reminiscent of excrement boiling emerged, unable to be masked by the howling wind and snow.

—Even if no one here had actually heard such a sound, that nauseating feeling arose spontaneously.

Suddenly, the snowstorm roared, charging towards the lake like a warrior sacrificing for a cause.

Then, black fire erupted from the lake surface, clashing violently with the torrent of wind and snow.

The black wasn’t purely black; it resembled chaos, a blend of filth and grime, indistinguishable in color, unlike the bone-clinging black flame, yet equally chilling to the core.

The scenery before her cleared up, revealing the Ice Heaven Lake set atop the Snow Mountain.

However, in stark contrast to the hero’s imagined serene blue mirror, the lake surface now before her was smeared as if with mud and oil, reflecting a multicolored hallucination-like sheen. The water constantly bubbled, occasionally erupting in spurts of white steam, with some areas overgrown with dense fuzz like rotting algae.

The snow, clashing with the Depraved Flame, neither melted nor evaporated; instead, it twisted as if undergoing a chemical reaction, transforming into drops of stinking, viscous white liquid.

The white liquid dripped continuously onto the lake surface, creating a sticky and dull sound, not loud but seemingly bypassing the roar of the wind and snow, stealthily adhering to the ears, causing deep discomfort and displeasure.

The lake surface, already hard to look directly at, added a touch of indescribable nauseating color.

—The hero had never seen such a disgusting sight, as if a vivid oil painting smeared with goblin innards and blood.

The only relief was that no strange odor permeated the air. The hero naturally did not believe the lake water itself was odorless; evidently, it was thanks to the snowstorm barrier intercepting the stench that could shatter nasal cavities.

Looking at this devastation, recalling Ice Heaven Lake’s once pristine and peaceful appearance, the Frost Matron and Snow Women were filled with sorrow, and the Snow Woman Archer, long absent from home yet harboring that scenery in her heart, clenched her teeth tightly.

"This is... the Depraved Flame..."

The hero gazed at the lake surface, faintly sealed by the thinning snow, clenched her fist, her body involuntarily trembling.

She always had some concern, but never specifically explored it; the essence of the Ancient Great Demon’s power was now shockingly displayed before her.

"Sister White Snake, is she being tormented by such a horrifying thing..."

Her Emerald Eye anxiously looked towards the center of the lake under the snow’s cover, as if trying to penetrate the barrier and see the White Snake besieged by darkness.

"Lord White Snake’s location at the center of the lake should be relatively better, but..." The Frost Matron shook her head.

The center of the lake, where the cleansing power was most concentrated, was naturally the most seriously invaded area as well. The pollution along the lake edge was merely the aftermath, yet it forced them to blockade it.

At this moment, the Depraved Flame seemed like a ring, with the outer ring barely suppressed by the Snow Women and the inner ring surrounding the area where the White Snake resided.

The hero’s heart beat unnaturally, her breath becoming short.

The flame that severely twisted the world, though blocked by the wind and snow, the depraved flames seemed like a brand, lingering in her eyes.

[Hero’s Detection (80+, 100+)]

Instinctively, she understood why the Ancient Hero chose to seal the Great Demon beneath a volcano.

The Great Demon, mastering the Depraved Flame, was sealed inside a volcano; it sounded illogical at first.

But upon reflection, a simple truth became apparent—that fire cannot burn fire.

Natural fire brings equal destruction, yet it doesn’t reject the subsequent renewal, just as the volcano’s rim may be barren, but nearby, there are communities like Water Mirror Cranes that thrive leveraging its warmth.

Though volcanic eruptions bring disaster, the floating volcanic ash, once processed, becomes excellent soil and fertilizer.

Flame holds no will; the outcomes it brings depend entirely on the wielder’s intention.

But the Depraved Flame was different; it only consumed beautiful things. The land flowed by the Depraved Flame couldn’t even be called scorched earth; it turned into a vile ground even worms would avoid.

In the Kingdom, scholars had long published papers speculating that volcanoes connect the Heart of the Earth, the Star Core, were the origin forces birthing the world and life, boundless and extremely pure.

Regardless of whether the theory in the paper gained acceptance, it was known that the purest flame power flowed within volcanoes,

thus, utilizing this power to suppress and seal the Depraved Flame’s power was undoubtedly effective.

The hero’s inner self was filled with her increasingly intense heartbeat, gradually drowning out external sounds, and her consciousness, as if drawn, directed towards the poison fog, deep beneath the volcano—

In the next moment, a pair of scarlet, filthy Phoenix Eyes opened in her mind.

Though twisted, though fallen... yet as a fellow being, the hero instinctively knew she wasn’t mistaken.
