Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!
Chapter 278: Light

Chapter 278: Light

"Is everyone ready?"

The enormous body of White Snake slowly unfurled, forming a massive circle around the Hero and Gleaming Scale Serpent, creating a barrier that seemed to isolate all the external sounds of the wind.

The Frost Matron stood at the center, in front of the Hero and Gleaming Scale Serpent, holding the radiant crystal in her hand.

Few in the world of Humankind knew how to initiate this ancient ceremony, but both White Snake and Frost Matron, endowed with ancestral and lineage heritage, were adept in their movements despite it being their first execution of the ritual.

"Indeed," the Hero nodded.

"Hiss, hiss..." the Gleaming Scale Serpent also quietly responded.

"You’re right, let’s all do our best!" Hearing her Familiar’s words, she lowered her head, smiling at the Gleaming Scale Serpent.

Then, the Frost Matron began her ancient, melodic chanting.

As she released the crystal, it began to float with the singing, emitting increasingly brilliant light.

Complex and intricate Magic Patterns spread from the light of the crystal, enshrouding the Hero like a beautiful gown.

At the same time, a vast amount of Magic Power released from White Snake, attracting the magic elements from the entire snowy mountain and the snowfield, contributing to this crude yet nobly staged ceremonial area.

Heaven and earth began to resonate, the chanting teasing ripples atop the Ice Heaven Lake.

Moments later, a crystalline droplet of blood, gem-like, separated from the brow of White Snake, falling onto the forehead of Gleaming Scale Serpent.

The gift from the High Position Race brought about a violent reaction; uncontrollably, the Gleaming Scale Serpent twisted in agony as its body slowly became encapsulated in Magic Power, transforming into an ice sphere.

Eventually, the entire Ice Heaven Lake was shrouded in snowstorm, everything returning to peace.

Only change was taking place.

Surrounded by the glow of the crystal, the Hero’s consciousness gradually detached from reality, seemingly pulled by some force, losing sensation of the外界.

While having been in dazzling radiance just moments ago, the next instant, the world was engulfed by endless darkness.

She could no longer feel the solid ground beneath her feet, only sensing her own internal consciousness slowly sinking, sinking...

As if plunging into a lightless deep sea, falling towards an abyss with no bottom, the sinking seemed endlessly continuous.

The Hero’s consciousness blurred, aligning with the haziness between wakefulness and sleep, blurring the boundaries between reality and dreams.

Just as her consciousness was about to be completely consumed, a change quietly occurred.

Crossing an invisible line, points of light gradually emerged in the darkness ahead, resembling a dreamy star-lit sky twinkling with countless constellations.

The lights morphed into bizarre shapes, some resembling fruits, grains, others like rabbits she had hunted and eaten during her journeys, and even some resembling Goblins—

The Hero suddenly thrashed.

Instantly, it was as if the entire abyss responded to her panic, the tumultuous darkness surged like a massive tide, crushing those Goblin-like lights entirely, turning them into countless specks of dim light vanishing into the boundless void.

Seeing the light scatter, the Hero relaxed again, continuing to observe her surroundings as her consciousness kept sinking.

As she ventured deeper, the surrounding light became scarcer, yet each remaining speck of light grew brighter, shining like stars in the endless darkness alone.

Yet at the same time, the Hero’s consciousness clouded further, weariness surged like a tide, seemingly ready to drag her_into_deep sleep anytime.

She struggled to maintain a shred of clarity, wanting to discern the features of the surrounding stars.

Among them were familiar entities—people she had known, Magic Creatures she had slain, but also some completely unknown beings.

In her hazy consciousness, a realization flashed through the Hero’s mind.

—This abyss was all that composed "her."

The specks of light around her twinkled quietly, most remaining silent, with some fluctuating in response to the Hero’s presence, as if acknowledging her existence.

The Hero continued sinking, deeper towards bigger, brighter lights.

Yet gradually, her smooth descent stopped, replaced by a buoyant force that hindered her from going deeper.
