Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!-Chapter 837: 300: Clearing Skies
Capítulo 837: Chapter 300: Clearing Skies
The stars and moon were devoid of light, and the sky was illuminated a fiery red by the burning earth.
The original cloud layer was evaporated by the impact, but the boiling seawater rose and formed a new cloud mist, yet it couldn’t approach the earth crack of lava.
Above the earth crack, the night sky was straight and deep like a river channel, with fiery clouds flowing on both sides, and the rolling red mist surged like a tide but dared not cross the pitch-black boundary.
Under this distinct separation of red and black, the damaged Nightmare Shrimp appeared increasingly ferocious, casting a terrifying shadow under the scarlet earth light.
If it were to approach the Holy City slightly closer, just witnessing this indescribable terror would be enough to cause countless citizens to feel heart palpitations and suffocation.
But the manifestation of this nightmare did not cause the Hero any wavering; however, her decisive dive couldn’t save the Sea Slash Shrimp, which had long since become exhausted and had shrunk to less than one percent of its original size.
The outer body incarnation, squeezed to the extreme by the ultimate strike, could no longer store the Magic Power needed to maintain its existence, and even a child’s slap could kill it on the spot.
Although the Sea Slash Shrimp released a Shield capable of resisting simple attacks, it was evidently unable to block the aftershock of the collision.
With no room for struggle, under the sweep of the aftershock, the ghostly blue residual body of the Sea Slash Shrimp finally reached its limit. The Shield shattered like a sugar shell, and the carapace covered in cobweb-like cracks disintegrated, exploding into light points scattered like blue reverse snowflakes drifting towards the Phoenix.
Accompanied by the return of the Beast Soul, the Hero, repelled by the Nightmare Giant Axe, felt empathetic sorrow and unwillingness rising in her heart, yet she seemed to be somewhat accustomed to it.
After all, this wasn’t the first time.
The wound on the Phoenix’s chest, struck by the Nightmare Giant Axe, rapidly healed under the circulation of Magic Power, and the Hero adjusted her posture, using the force of the strike to soar high once more.
But at the next moment, her flying motion suddenly stagnated.
Dense black mold spots crazily proliferated from the wound, with filthy black specks spreading like living creatures along the Magic Power pathways to every inch of her flesh, gnawing toward the depths of her soul.

Under the erosion of the nightmare, even the Phoenix’s feathers became mottled, but the Hero merely narrowed her Phoenix Eyes. In the next instant, holy flames ignited her entire body, burning away the nightmare within and converting it into pure Magic Power that flowed into the Hero’s stomach.

‘Hey, brought me a meal, huh.’
‘Don’t let your guard down.’
Similar situations had occurred before when the Hero launched attacks in Returning Star Form, so she did not panic.
However, unlike Returning Star’s innate immunity to nightmare erosion, if she hadn’t completed a Legendary Promotion, the firepower of the Phoenix’s body might not have entirely incinerated the invading nightmares.
Cognition is pollution, touch is capitulation, and none who are eroded by nightmares are spared.
And this ultimate axe of the Sea Slash Shrimp, accepted yet not destroyed, was not even the full power of the Nether Sea Dream Erosion.
Though repeatedly defeated by herself, the Nether Sea Dream Erosion Group remained a Great Demon of the same class as the Phoenix.
The Hero caught her breath, her flying movement regained agility, and after drawing a graceful arc in the air, she dove once more towards the Mountain of Nightmare below.

However, before the distance between the two giant beasts had shortened, earth-shaking shouts came from the direction of the Holy City.
“——Charge!!!”
The Hero’s Perception reached back in surprise, seeing a golden torrent tearing through the night sky. Hundreds of Holy Paladins, riding on Heavenly Pegasi, surged out from the brightly lit city.
The enchanted horseshoes left brilliant trails of light in the void, and under the guidance of the Divine Wood Bishop, the whole troop, akin to a Light Spear cast by a God, broke the void towards the Nightmare gathering.
Further behind, the Holy City seemingly came alive suddenly. Countless Magic Light Flames rose, with a rain of arrows and SpellCursed Sorcery weaving into a canopy of streaming light that ascended into the sky, the Church’s many Legendary Strongmen giving their all as it crossed the vast sky toward the dark Demon Mountain.
And at the top of the Cathedral, a Magic Array with a diameter exceeding a thousand meters was expanding, with dizzyingly complex Runes interlocking, accumulating terrifying energy enough to reshape the landscape.
Beneath the Magic Array, the old Pope, wearing his crown and holding his scepter, solemnly gazed at the doomsday-like scene in the distance.
During this brief time the Great Demon manifested, the entire Holy City had been fully mobilized, showcasing a war potential not inferior to the Border City, perhaps even exceeding it.
Countless rehearsals and preparations were all in anticipation of today’s arrival.
“——Don’t underestimate us.”
He straightened his back and raised his scepter, speaking to either the towering Mountain of Nightmare or the diving Sun Bird.
At his words, dazzling white light erupted from the center of the Magic Array, and a sky-tearing beam of light was launched, thundering toward the distant nightmare.
Where the light beam passed, the Space twisted into glassy cracks, overtaking the charging Knight Order and fiercely piercing into the chest of the Fallen Sea Shrimp.
