Chapter 318: The Ash Of Queens
[QUEENS.]
With a flash of golden light, the absolute safety of the supreme artifact faded. The group appeared back on Queens, but the moment they saw the once-familiar landscape, they were all dumbfounded... If before, it was in ruins, now, Queens was hell.
The catastrophic clash between the draconic bloodline and the Void Calamity had completely rewritten the topography. The ambient energy in the air was chaotic, burning their lungs with residual heat and pressure. Rose and the group moved their gazes around the opened black landscape around them, seeing nothing but rocks, and vaporized craters, It looked like the aftermath of a high-tier monsters break.
"This is crazy... More than half of this city has been turned into hell, what type of battle happened here?" Aurelia muttered, her voice trembling as she was standing close to Hitachi, relying on his stoic presence to anchor her fractured nerves.
Carl turned his gaze from the devastated horizon to the epicenter of the crater, looking to the spot where the Mansion once stood. Seeing Mirabella, his breath hitched. She sat cross-legged one meter above the air. Her eyes closed, she was entirely focused inward, busy gaining back all her strength and stabilizing the explosive growth of her newly awakened Beast Empress bloodline.
Around her were people—the hundreds of unconscious civilians she had pulled from the underground abyss. They were the same people who were in the jade Cocoons.
"This?"
Grace didn’t wait for another word. Recognizing the familiar shade of blonde hair among the survivors, she broke into a desperate sprint, and ran towards them, the rest of the Dragon Team following behind her.
"Britney!" She called, her voice cracking as tears rolled down her face.
Hearing her name cut through the confusion, Britney turned around, and the moment she saw her elder sister charging through the ash, her eyes widened in profound disbelief.
