Chapter 427
Isaac slowly opened his pale gray eyes. His vision was blurry without his silver glasses. He blinked several times. He saw the stars above him. He saw the dark, jagged spikes of the fortress. "I am breathing," Isaac whispered to himself in absolute disbelief. He pushed his hands against the floor. He sat up. His muscles felt weak, but they worked. He was fully, completely alive. He looked around the quiet roof. He saw the old man crying in the corner. He recognized the face of Doctor Kaelen, the man who used to be the Shadow Lord. The monster was gone. Then, Isaac saw the little girl. Ash was sitting next to a body near the edge of the roof. Isaac slowly pushed himself up. His legs shook, but he locked his knees. He stood tall, even though his white suit was a bloody mess. He walked slowly toward the little girl. His black leather shoes made a soft tapping sound on the stone. Isaac stopped a few feet away from the body. He looked down. Rick lay on his back. His eyes were clos

The shockwave continued to expand. It rolled off the edge of the tall tower. It washed over the entire Iron Citadel. It swept through the courtyards and the deep dungeons. Everywhere the light touched, the Ancient Rot vanished. The bubbling rivers of silver poison surrounding the castle turned into clear, clean, beautiful blue water. The dead, black trees in the Eastern Wastelands suddenly sprouted tiny, bright green leaves. The plague was cured. The source was broken. On the roof, everything was quiet. The Black Sun was gone. The sky was clear. For the first time in fifty years, bright, shining, beautiful stars appeared in the night sky over the East. Ash stood up from the iron chair. She brushed the gray dust off her dirty dress. She looked around the quiet roof. She saw the old man who used to be the Shadow Lord, crying softly in the corner. Then, she saw Rick. Rick lay on his back near the edge of the roof. His arms were spread wide. His dark gray coat was torn and covere
Chapter 425
The night sky above the Iron Citadel held its breath. Rick’s hands slammed onto the massive, pulsing purple rock. The Mother Seed. Under his left hand, the brilliant, warm, messy emerald green fire roared. It was the magic of pure life. It was the hope of a hundred thousand broken people living in the junkyard. Under his right hand, the cold, blinding, perfect white light exploded. It was the magic of the white glass sphere. It was Auditor Isaac’s deletion magic. It was the absolute, perfect logic of death and order. When both hands hit the toxic purple rock at the exact same millisecond, the universe simply stopped working. The Mother Seed was the ultimate disease. It was born from pure, concentrated hatred and despair. For fifty years, it had eaten every single kind of magic that touched it. But it had never tasted a paradox. The white light shot into the left side of the Mother Seed. It began to delete the toxic purple magic. It erased the hatred. It created a giant, empty,

Rick staggered backward. It felt like he had been punched in the stomach. The whisper in the alley. The desperate prayer of the sick people. “He heals even the dead.” His own legend was destroying the world. The love he had tried to give the city had mutated into an impossible expectation. And that expectation was crashing down into absolute despair, feeding the Mother Seed with unlimited dark power. "Do not listen to him, Rick!" Isaac yelled, keeping his gun aimed at the monster. "It is a psychological trap! Keep your focus!"But Rick was shaking. The guilt was overwhelming. His beautiful, messy medicine had caused this. The Shadow Lord saw Rick’s hesitation. The giant monster lunged forward with terrifying speed. He did not attack Rick. He attacked Isaac. The Shadow Lord swung his massive, iron-clawed fist. Isaac pulled the trigger of his silver pistol. BLAST! A beam of bright white deletion magic shot out of the gun. The white light hit the Shadow Lord’s shoulder. It delet

Rick gripped the handle of the heavy iron door. "Let's go operate," Rick said firmly. He threw the heavy door open.A freezing, howling wind rushed into the stairwell. Rick and Isaac stepped out onto the Apex Roof of the Iron Citadel. The roof was massive. It was a huge, flat platform of black stone. Above them, the sky was completely terrifying. The Black Sun was a giant, swirling whirlpool of pitch-black energy. It spun furiously, sucking all the light out of the air. Purple lightning cracked inside the dark clouds. In the center of the roof stood the Shadow Lord. The ten-foot-tall monster wore his jagged black armor. His torn cape whipped violently in the cold wind. His empty, pitch-black eyes stared at the two men walking through the door. "You survived my house," the Shadow Lord’s deep, cold voice boomed over the roaring wind. "I am impressed, Doctor."Rick did not look at the monster. Rick’s eyes locked onto the center of the roof. Floating ten feet in the air was the Mo

They began to climb the stairs. But as soon as they reached the tenth step, the stairs began to move. The heavy stone blocks twisted and folded. The stairs flattened out, turning into a steep, slippery slide. At the same time, the walls on both sides of the stairs began to close in. The walls were covered in giant, rotating gears made of rusted iron and sharp teeth. The castle was trying to grind them into pieces. "It's a crusher trap!" Isaac yelled, slipping backward on the smooth stone. Rick grabbed Isaac's collar with his left hand, holding him up. "I cannot shoot the walls!" Isaac shouted over the loud, grinding noise of the gears. "They are too thick! My gun does not have enough power to delete the entire building!"The jagged metal teeth were only three feet away from them. "We don't break the walls," Rick said. His eyes burned with fierce intelligence. "We put the building to sleep!"Rick recognized the trap. The moving stairs and the grinding walls were controlled by the
