Chapter 699: Chapter 699 - The Burning Eye of the End (Full-Length)
The massive magic circle floating high above was eerily similar to the one that had summoned the meteor earlier. Its glow cast an oppressive light over the city and the battlefield, stretching across the horizon.
It was a sight that made hearts feel as if they had stopped beating, an oppressive weight pulling at their very souls. The sheer magnitude of it, paired with the lingering destruction below, seemed to snuff out any remaining hope.
What about the city's remaining inhabitants? Were there any survivors left, or had the destruction claimed them all?
On the battlefield, the panic was so real, though it felt different now-less frantic, more drained. People moved sluggishly, their energy spent, their spirits shattered. Some didn't even react to the looming threat, perhaps too exhausted to muster fear.
Broken directed Beebot to keep moving, the crawling carriage skimming over rubble and destruction as he searched for the rest of his companions. They reached the West Gate, where a figure sprinted toward them from a distance. As the figure came closer, it stopped directly in front of the carriage, blocking its path.
It was Fokil.
The blacksmith dwarf stood firm, his gaze meeting Broken's. Without hesitation, Ivana jumped down from the carriage and ran to him, wrapping her arms around him tightly. "You survived," Fokil said.
"Mr. Fokil, I'm so glad you're alive too," Ivana replied.
Broken approached the dwarf, who turned to look at him.
"You did well, kid," Fokil said.
"Thanks, sir," Broken offered a weary smile and nodded back, the weight of everything still pressing heavily on his shoulders.
One by one, more familiar faces began to appear. Optimus arrived first, followed by Elincia, who soared toward them with her crackling blue aura flickering faintly. She was battered but alive.
Then came Kingsley, Goldrich, Jovina, Starfall, Charmelyn, Skywarden, Booba, and even Frostedge. All of them converged at the same point, gathering together. They were bruised, battered, and exhausted-but they were alive.
What do you think?
