Chapter 225
Light and ash collided.
Amidst the dazzling light scattered by the Peacemaker, the ashes of annihilation swirled and raged.
The Black Knight, clad in the armor of the Night Raven Knight, charged forward.
A moment passed, and the distance closed. The hilt of the Peacemaker’s sword cleaved the Lord of Ashes clean in two.
The shattered body of the Demon King scattered into ashes, and the hero from another realm donned the armor of the Dark Cavern upon his own arm. The chill of doom surged forth from the Shadow Lord’s avatar and swept through the air.
Simultaneously, the Demon King began scattering the same apocalyptic cold the otherworldly warrior had displayed.
By assimilating into Ray Yuris’s heart, the 『Book of Cold Ashes』 and the Demon King’s consciousness never ceased to grow. Even if Ray did not understand its meaning.
And what Ray Yuris had built up would, in a sense, never be in vain.
Moreover, the chill of the end unleashed by the Demon King was nothing like Ray’s. As the two ices collided head-on, the worlds of Ash and Winter Night began to freeze over.
“Seems you’ve had the good fortune to see the world.”
“Ray was the one destined to inherit the empire of fire and light. And I willingly promised to become that child’s flame. That child taught me many things.”
“I never imagined the Lord of Ashes would be a suitable match for the Crimson Heir.”
“Fire and ash, life and death. What difference do you think there is?”
