Chapter 179: Until the Heart Beats (6)
The snow had stopped.
The blizzard, which seemed destined to last forever, came to an end.
Even more astonishing was what followed.
Drip, drip...
The ground began to thaw, and sprouts emerged.
Snow, over five meters deep, melted away in an instant. Life quickly took root in the soil, transforming the barren, frozen wasteland into a lush green landscape.
It was the color of life, a herald of spring's arrival.
[-Kya-ha-ha!]
The vibrant sprouts spread wider with every peal of the girl's delicate laughter.
Creeeeak...!
With a low rumble, vines erupted from the ground, covering the ruins of the floating fortress. They enveloped the remains of the fallen mages, breaking them down into nutrients.
Where the dead mages had fallen, small trees and massive trunks sprouted in succession. Soon, an area stretching 30 kilometers from the ruins was transformed into a land brimming with spring's vitality.
