Chapter 459 Jasper's Doomsday
Boom! Bang! Crack!

Ancol Redbeard, like the embodiment of lava and lightning, wielded a massive thunder axe, unleashing breathtaking destructive power in his brief existence! Each of his strikes was imbued with terrifying power capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, thick blue arcs of electricity coiling around the axe blade like serpents. Each collision with the hastily gathered death wind of old Jasper resulted in deafening roars and blinding flashes of energy!

Old Jasper was in a terrible state. The divine order power of the Spear of Order was like a leech, constantly eroding the core of his soul, making every time he mobilized his magic feel like walking on a scalding knife, causing excruciating pain.

Ankol Redbeard's Thunder Axe was like a deadly hammer, each strike causing his already severely wounded, skeletal body to tremble violently, deepening the cracks! His black robe, a symbol of his status, had long since turned to ashes, revealing a skeleton beneath, riddled with charred cracks and flowing with filthy black blood. The will-o'-the-wisps in his eye sockets flickered violently, their light dimmed to its absolute limit.

"Damn dwarf! Go back to your grave!" Old Jasper let out a shrill scream, his withered claws wielding his dimly glowing bone staff, desperately unleashing twisted death rays and corrosive undead curses in an attempt to halt Ankol's onslaught. But these attacks were either cleaved apart or smashed to pieces by the legendary dwarf spirit's raging thunderous battleaxe and sheer power!

Ancol Redbeard completely ignored the tickling attacks; he had only one goal—to utterly crush the skeletal skeleton that profaned death before him! The massive thunder axe, carrying immense force, cleaved down once more!
"Thunderbolt - Mountain Severing!"

With this strike, Ancol Redbeard mobilized the little remaining power of the heroic spirit within him, and the lightning on his battle axe condensed like never before, transforming into a blue beam of light that pierced through space!

Old Jasper was terrified. With his last strength, he held the bone staff horizontally in front of him, and the black and green gem at the top of the staff burst out with a final light!

Boom——! ! !
The deafening explosion nearly blew the tomb apart! The violent lightning and necromantic magic clashed violently, creating a visible energy storm! Old Jasper's bone staff let out a mournful cry of despair, and cracks instantly appeared all over its body. The black-green gem that sustained his power even cracked with a "crack"!

"Pfft—!" Old Jasper was struck head-on by a battering ram, and was once again sent flying, crashing into and collapsing the base of a huge elven statue!

Filthy black blood gushed from his mouth and the cracks in his skeleton like a fountain. The ghostly fire in his eyes suddenly shrank and almost went out! His breath was so weak that he couldn't even maintain his levitation. He crashed heavily onto the cold moonstone ground, and the sound of his bones shattering was clearly audible!

Ancol Redbeard's figure became even more ethereal and transparent due to the excessive energy consumed by this attack, but he still stood there, like an insurmountable mountain, his Thunder Axe pointing at the collapsed old Jasper, issuing his final declaration: "Filth! Your end has come!"

It's now!

Mhawa, who had stood like a silent statue on the edge of the battlefield, suddenly unleashed an unprecedentedly greedy and ambitious gleam from the soul fire beneath his helmet! He had waited far too long for this moment! Old Jasper was weaker than ever before, and the bone staff that bound him and imprisoned his true power was on the verge of shattering. This was the perfect opportunity for him to reclaim everything!

"Roar—!!!" Mhawa let out a roar that was not human, but full of primal bestiality!

His massive body erupted with power far exceeding what it had shown before, not from death magic, but from the suppressed, violent power deep within his ancient chieftain soul, a power that belonged to his former life! He slammed the huge rune stone axe in his hand into the ground, and the giant claws covered with bone spikes, with a shrill shriek that tore through the air, slashed fiercely at the paralyzed, defenseless old Jasper!

The target—not to kill him, but the core soul fire within his skeletal chest, flickering with a faint ghostly flame and mysteriously connected to the black and green gemstone of the bone staff! And that cracked bone staff!
"Mhawa?! How dare you—!" Old Jasper screamed in terror, but he was too weak to stop him as he was critically injured and on the verge of death!
Poof! Click!
Mhawa's claws, like red-hot knives piercing through rotten wood, instantly penetrated the protection of Old Jasper's skeletal chest, grabbing the core soul fire that represented the origin of Old Jasper's soul! At the same time, his other claw fiercely seized the cracked bone staff!
"My power! Give it back to me!" The roar from beneath Mhawa's helmet was filled with ecstasy and liberation! He exerted all his strength!

Om-! ! !
A vast, chaotic, eerie green energy, imbued with the aura of ancient savagery, was forcibly extracted from Old Jasper's core soul fire, like a ferocious beast imprisoned for millennia! This power surged into Mhava's body like a raging torrent! The runes on his beast bone heavy armor instantly lit up, radiating an aura several times stronger and far more primal and violent than before!

As for Old Jasper's core soul fire, it was as if his heart had been ripped out, dimming instantly and almost going out! He let out an indescribable scream of pain that went deep into his soul, his entire skeletal body convulsed violently, his aura plummeted, and he could barely maintain his legendary realm!
Jasper's power was split! One part was forcibly taken back by Mhawa, while the other part rapidly dissipated as his core soul fire was damaged!

In this moment of utter chaos, when old Jasper had completely lost control of the undead army, and Mhava was ecstatic about the return of his power—

Su Li, hovering on the green dragon's back, had a cold glint in his eyes. The timing was perfect!
Without hesitation, he took out an inconspicuous, pitch-black box covered with indescribable, twisted patterns from the magic pouch at his waist—a mysterious item from the depths of the Ruscia rainforest, containing a strange, devouring power!
Su Li obtained this lizardman relic from the messenger in the mass grave deep within the Anarek Giant Spider's lair, precisely for this moment to unleash a fatal blow!

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Li concentrated his powerful will instantly, like an invisible sharp cone, fiercely piercing the twisted patterns on the box!
Click!

A soft yet remarkably clear click sounded. The lid of the little black box opened by itself!
A burst of green light, signifying the energy of the lizardmen, erupted, and an absolute sense of nothingness, as if capable of swallowing all sound and light, emanated from the open box!
Immediately afterwards, an irresistible and terrifying suction force targeting the magical wind itself suddenly erupted!

Centered on the small black box, all the magical energy permeating the tomb chamber—whether it was the remaining winds of death, the chaotic winds of chaos, or even the sparse winds of elements—was as if it had encountered a cosmic black hole, and was being frantically and irresistibly drawn away and devoured!
This suction force is a deadly suffocating sensation for magical creatures and spellcasters! But for the undead who rely on magical winds to survive, it is a catastrophe!

Most terrifyingly, Su Li's target was incredibly precise—Ariria beside him suddenly flicked her dragon tail, and a gentle green breeze enveloped the opened black box, which, like a precision-guided missile, instantly flew across the chaotic battlefield, just as Mhava was still immersed in the power, Old Jasper was convulsing in despair, and all the undead were in a state of confusion and bewilderment—

pat!

That inconspicuous little black box fell right into old Jasper's corpse wagon, which was parked to the side, pulled by a skeletal warhorse, and piled with all sorts of undead spellcasting materials and soul-imprisoning containers!

Buzz——————!!!
The moment the little black box fell into the hearse, it seemed to have found the perfect "amplifier"! The suction force of the wind that devoured magic suddenly increased tenfold, a hundredfold! An invisible, enormous energy vortex spun wildly around the hearse!
"Uhhhhh-!"

Old Jasper let out a final, desperate scream! He felt the invisible shackles of death magic that bound him and all his undead servants were being torn apart, devoured, and disintegrated by an irresistible force!
Those undead who were still struggling in pain and suppressed by the spear of the law of order, whether they were powerful black knights, ghouls, or ordinary skeletal warriors, suddenly had their soul fire in their eye sockets become chaotic and confused! The death aura on their bodies dissipated rapidly like the receding tide, and their movements instantly became stiff and disordered, like puppets with broken strings, standing blankly in place, even colliding and shoving each other!
The core magic that sustains the undead army has been severed!
Old Jasper's already crumbling core soulfire was further weakened by the backlash from losing control over all undead, and by the double blow of the magical winds being frantically devoured—

puff!
Like a candle flickering in the wind, it grew even weaker!

But a legend is a legend! Even as the flame of his soul was about to be extinguished and his body was on the verge of collapse, the death laws etched into his very bones and his extreme resentment towards life still allowed old Jasper to unleash a final, chillingly terrifying power!
"Insects! Don't even think about it!!" He collapsed in the ruins, his only remaining hand gripping the cracked bone staff tightly. The shattered black-green gem at the top of the staff suddenly lit up with a last glimmer of light, which still carried a legendary aura!
He no longer tried to control the undead, but instead concentrated all his remaining power into his withered claw pointing to the sky!
"Death Magic: End of All Things!"

The next moment, a pure, condensed gray ray, imbued with the very essence of the laws of death, shot silently from his fingertips! The target—was none other than Bradley, who was swooping down at the forefront, wielding a weapon burning with golden light of order!
Wherever this ray passed, space itself seemed to be instantly "killed"! The air solidified, losing its vitality, and even the sunlight streaming through the breach was devoured, turning gray and lifeless! The pristine moonstone on the ground, grazed by the edge of the ray, instantly turned into lifeless gray powder! Several bewildered elven skeleton warriors blocking the ray's path were reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye, utterly annihilated before they could even react!
This is the ultimate understanding of death in legend, the embodiment of the decay of all things! Once struck, even the chosen one's body will be stripped of all life in an instant, turning into decaying dust!

Bradley's pupils contracted sharply as he sensed the pure threat of death. His divine power erupted with an unprecedented golden light to protect his entire body!
boom--!
The gray ray slammed into the golden shield of order! There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a sickening hissing sound, as if the world were withering away! The sturdy golden shield of order visibly darkened and cracked! Bradley groaned, his entire body blasted away by the immense force of death, spitting out blood. A shocking gray stain was left on his golden armor, and even the light of order dimmed slightly!
Had it not been for Verena's divine power protecting him, and if Jasper hadn't been at his last gasp, Bradley would have undoubtedly died from that attack! The destructive power of a legendary spell is terrifying indeed!
"Now! Crush him!" Su Li's roar was like a thunderclap! He knew this was old Jasper's last madness, and he couldn't give him another chance to breathe!
With his command, the dozen or so Chosen Knights, who had been waiting in ambush, finally made their move!

"Divine Art: Hammer of the Sun!" "Blazing Blood: Spear of Frost!"

"Ancestral Bloodline - Highly Efficient Execution!"

A deafening roar echoed through the tomb! Instantly, more than a dozen dazzling beams of light shot into the sky from the knights and dwarves! Holy golden light, icy blue light, blazing crimson flames, and steady brown glow... each beam of light contained immense divine power and earth-shattering pressure!
In the light, standing in the tomb chamber were no longer ordinary knights, but more than a dozen towering divine generals!

They were all over thirty meters tall, like giants who had stepped out of mythology! Their bodies were made of pure energy, yet solid as if forged from divine metal! Su Li, in his guise as the Blazing Sun God General, wore armor that flowed with liquid sunlight and held a legendary-grade Oath Spear, the shaft of which burned with a blazing, gilded light.

Hilde, in her guise as the Sun Goddess, was even more refined, her beast-slayer transformed into a forty-meter-long golden lightsaber! The blade flowed with true solar fire, and wherever its edge struck, space itself distorted and scorched! Her golden eyes locked onto old Jasper, radiating murderous intent!
The other chosen knights, transformed into divine generals, wielded giant axes or heavy hammers, each exuding a terrifying aura capable of shaking mountains! The entire elven tomb seemed cramped before them, the towering crystal coffins appearing like toys!

"kill--!"

Su Li roared, and the legendary-grade spear in his hand unleashed a power capable of scorching mountains and boiling seas, smashing towards old Jasper in the ruins! Before the spear even arrived, the terrifying heat wave had already melted the surrounding rubble into lava!
Old Jasper's eyes flickered with ghostly flames, and his withered claws swung wildly. Streams of gray death light, each containing the law of death and capable of instantly annihilating a mountaintop, shot towards the nearly hundred-meter-long spear that was thrusting towards him!
boom! boom! boom!
The death ray clashed violently with the legendary spear, each impact unleashing a devastating energy storm! Dark cracks tore through space! The pristine moonstone ground crumbled and melted in large swathes, like fragile biscuits! The surrounding elven statues and crystal coffins collapsed and vaporized like sand sculptures under the dissipating energy! The collision of legendary magic and divine power was a catastrophic event in its environmental destruction!

Su Li's spear was blocked by the death ray, but the attacks from the other divine generals had already arrived!
Thranville's icy spear, like a polar current, pierced towards old Jasper with the will to freeze everything! Old Jasper screamed and released a massive bone shield. The spear struck the bone shield, and terrifying cold instantly spread, freezing the entire bone shield and a large area behind it into a ghostly blue ice crystal! But old Jasper narrowly avoided the spear tip before the bone shield shattered.

The most lethal blow came from Hilde! The forty-meter golden lightsaber in her hand seemed to embody the brilliance of the entire sun! She didn't slash, but instead held the lightsaber horizontally, its tip pointing directly at old Jasper!

"Divine Art - Terrifying Enemy's Wrath!"

A golden pillar of light, over ten meters in diameter and composed entirely of the compressed divine grace of the blazing sun, erupted from the sword tip like divine punishment! Wherever the pillar passed, the space was scorched with golden traces, and all the undead remains, rubble, and even the dissipating death magic that blocked its path were instantly vaporized and purified! Nothing could stop this all-purifying torrent!

Old Jasper let out a desperate scream, frantically pouring his remaining magic into the bone staff in an attempt to once again forge the strongest defense! But in such a hasty situation, how could he possibly withstand it?
boom--! ! !
The golden torrent crashed violently into the multiple skeletal shields and death field hastily erected by old Jasper! Like a red-hot iron rod piercing snow! The shields shattered and evaporated layer by layer! The terrifying purifying power instantly devoured old Jasper's withered body!
"Uhhhhhh-!!!"

A piercing, inhuman scream echoed throughout the tomb! Old Jasper's withered bones burned and disintegrated violently in the golden torrent! The core soul fire he had desperately maintained flickered wildly like a candle flame in a storm, its light dimming at a visible speed! This injury was more fatal than any before!
The attack from more than a dozen chosen generals was like a raging storm! Old Jasper was like a broken boat in a stormy sea. Although each counterattack of his legendary spell contained the terrifying power to instantly kill the chosen ones, forcing the generals to dodge or join forces to resist, causing the earth to shake and the tomb to collapse, he was eventually exhausted. His power was rapidly depleting under the attack and the absorption of the little black box!
But this ancient, immortal undead legend possessed an unimaginable tenacity and a deep-seated hatred for life! Even after suffering such a devastating blow, the shattered black and green gemstone at the tip of the cracked bone staff in its withered claws forcibly coalesced once again into a faint yet incredibly pure deathly light!
"Destroy together...you scum who desecrate death!" Old Jasper uttered a curse filled with endless resentment from the depths of his soul! He was about to detonate his remaining soul fire and the core of his bone staff, unleashing an indiscriminate legendary-level undead self-destruction! Once this power erupted, it would be enough to drag the entire tomb chamber, along with all the nearby divine generals, into the abyss of death!
"Don't even think about it!" Su Li's roar was like a thunderclap! How could he allow this old man to launch a last-ditch counterattack! Just as Old Jasper's soul fire was fluctuating violently and about to explode—

"Blazing Blood - Eternal Winter Seal!"

Thranville's icy voice echoed across the battlefield! This was the most powerful bloodline ability she had gained after advancing to the God-Chosen level. After she deactivated her God General state and activated this bloodline, the extreme cold air, like a wave of absolute zero, instantly erupted from Old Jasper's center!
Snap, snap——!
Time seemed to freeze! The golden flames burning on Old Jasper's skeletal body, the dissipating death magic, and even the violently fluctuating soul fire were instantly frozen by a layer of dark blue ice several meters thick, shimmering with countless ancient frost runes! His self-destruction was forcibly interrupted and solidified! The deadly energy fluctuations were frozen in the moment before the explosion! The entire area transformed into a massive ice coffin, radiating bone-chilling cold!
"Now! My Lord!" Hilde shouted, raising her forty-meter golden lightsaber once more, but this time, her target was the side of old Jasper's ice coffin! She was going to open the final passage for Su Li!

At the same time, the attacks of the other gods poured down on the ice coffin like a storm!
The dwarf general's runic hammer, imbued with the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, crashed down!
The Fiery Knight's Divine Grace Spear bombarded the enemy like a dense shower of golden meteors!
The giant vines summoned by the Green Dragon's Dragon Language magic coiled and strangled like a giant python!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ice shards and ashes of death flew everywhere! The sturdy "Eternal Winter Seal" trembled violently under the combined onslaught of more than a dozen divine generals, its surface instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks! The enormous impact sent the entire ice coffin, along with old Jasper inside, flying off the ground, and the surface ice layer also showed signs of loosening and weakening!

"End it, Jasper! In the name of Violet, the Goddess of the Sun!" Su Li's roar carried the will to end everything! The legendary Spear of Oath in the hand of the Sun God General, in his avatar, shone with its full brilliance! The gilded energy flowing through the spear was like boiling stellar lava, and the spearhead condensed into a single, pure, incandescent point of light piercing the void! It was a highly compressed aggregation of order and the power of the Sun God, containing the final judgment upon all chaos and death!
With his arms bulging with muscles, Su Li poured all his divine power into the spear and launched a final, star-piercing strike at Old Jasper's ice coffin, which had been shaken up by the concentrated fire and had become weak in its ice seal!
laugh--! ! !
A deafening explosion rang out, followed by a piercing scream as the entire space was instantly torn apart by extreme heat and the power of order! The Spear of Oath transformed into a white-gold streak of light, too fast for the naked eye to see, moving at a speed beyond comprehension! Wherever it passed, it left a straight trail of burning golden flames in space that could not be healed for a long time! The dissipated death magic, the chaotic winds, and even the light that approached were instantly evaporated and purified!
This holy light pierced with unparalleled precision the weakest point on the ice coffin, the one closest to Old Jasper's core soul fire, which had been blasted out!

puff!
A soft sound, like a hot knife piercing butter.

Old Jasper, sealed and frozen by Eternal Winter, had a faint, flickering soul flame at its core, on the verge of exploding, the moment the platinum-gold light of judgment touched it—

Like ice crystals thrown into the core of the sun, they melt violently and then shatter into pieces!

The concentrated, all-consuming energy of the undead self-destruction was completely purified and returned to nothingness before the ultimate judgment of order and the blazing sun.

Immediately afterwards, the terrifying energy contained within the Light of Judgment erupted violently inside the ice coffin!
Boom! ! !

The enormous ice coffin, along with the remains of old Jasper inside, exploded like a bomb detonated from within, instantly shattering into billions of tiny ice crystals and charred bone dust! The bone staff that had accompanied him for countless years and symbolized the authority over death also broke inch by inch in the white light, its black and green gemstone at the top turning to dust!
An invisible shockwave, originating from the legendary fall of a hero, suddenly spread out, carrying endless resentment, bitterness, and a shrill cry of liberation. It swept across the entire tomb, causing all the survivors to feel a shiver in their souls before quickly dissipating into the air.

In the center of the tomb, only the golden spot of light, burning like a miniature sun, left behind after the spear of oath pierced the ground, and the slowly falling ice crystal dust, carrying a sacred aura.

The legendary necromancer Jasper the Elder, along with his final madness and ambition, finally met a complete and irreversible end under the suppression of the Spear of Order, the devouring of the Little Black Box, the severe injury of Ankol Redbeard, the betrayal of Mhawa, and the siege of a dozen giant generals who were the incarnations of the chosen knights.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the sunlight streaming through the shattered dome illuminated, for the first time without obstruction, this resting place of elves, which had been tainted by death for too long, as if announcing the end of a dark age.

The surviving warriors, gazing at the dissipating shadow of death and the divine general's figure bathed in sunlight, were overjoyed at surviving the ordeal and filled with boundless awe for their lord, erupting into a deafening cheer:
"Long live the Black Forest! Long live the Lord!"

"In the name of the Goddess of the Sun!"

"Praise be to the glory!"
