    Chapter 45, Star: Flaming Spear! Charge!

    With everyone’s cooperation, the remaining rift monsters were eliminated one by one.

    Cocolia muttered “useless” under her breath, then activated the Creation Engine to attack them.

    A laser beam shot from the Creation Engine’s head, sweeping towards the group.

    Star slashed with her sword, the flames engulfing the laser; explosions constantly rang out where the two collided.

    Meanwhile, on the train, Walter watched Star wielding the Heavenly Fire Judgment, his mind constantly flashing back to images of a certain man.

    Ye Yun, seeing Walter’s constipated expression, chuckled and leaned closer.

    “Walter, this Heavenly Fire Judgment is cool, right?”

    Walter stiffly nodded.

    “Cool.”

    Jizi, noticing this, felt curious.

    “Walter, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

    Walter took a deep breath.

    “I’m fine, I just remembered some things from the past.”

    Upon hearing this, Jizi pretty much understood Walter’s state.

    Ye Yun, watching Star and the others display their prowess on the screen, felt it was a bit monotonous, so he bought a tea set and a cake of tea from the system.

    “Zhong Li, Walter, come, come, have some tea.”

    Zhong Li looked at the tea set in Ye Yun’s hand.

    “This tea set is well-made. The carvings on it are something only a master craftsman could produce.”

    Ye Yun smiled.

    “I don’t understand these things, as long as it works.”

    Saying this, Ye Yun rinsed the tea set with hot water, placed tea leaves in the teapot to brew for himself, and poured a cup each for Walter and Zhong Li.

    “Here, try it.”

    Then, the three of them continued to sip tea while watching the projection.

    Back to Everwinter Hill.

    After catching her breath, Star seized an opening in the Creation Engine’s attack, rushing onto it and sprinting towards Cocolia.

    During this, some new rift creatures emerged to attack Star.

    However, Broniya and March 7th’s long-range sniping took care of them beforehand.

    A few minutes later, Star arrived before Cocolia without major incident.

    Cocolia furiously drew her gun and attacked Star.

    Star quickly swung her Heavenly Fire Judgment to block, the immense force nearly knocking her off her feet.

    Before Star could react, Cocolia’s second attack followed immediately.

    Star had no choice but to dodge to the side.

    Cocolia continuously attacked Star, giving her no chance to retaliate.

    Furthermore, Cocolia remained airborne, making it difficult for Star to reach her.

    As the saying goes, there’s no absolute defense.

    Cocolia seized an opportunity and fiercely threw the Flaming Spear.

    Star fell backward weakly, her consciousness gradually blurring.

    When Star regained consciousness, she found herself in the cosmos.

    Star looked around and saw a Flaming Spear stuck in the distance.

    Star pondered, there was nothing else around; she might as well go and take a look.

    As she walked, some illusion images began to appear around Star.

    These illusion images were the memories of Belobog’s past Great Guardians, including Cocolia’s.

    Reviewing these memories, Star also learned why Cocolia had made a deal with the Star Core.

    Despair, seeing no way forward, a path shrouded in darkness.

    Star arrived before the Flaming Spear, where a little girl stood.

    “You’ve come.”

    Star nodded, curiously looking at the little girl.

    “Who are you?”

    The little girl said,

    “Me? I am the consciousness formed from the past Great Guardians.”

    The little girl glanced at Star and continued,

    “This city is weeping, the power of [Preservation] is fading.

    In the end… we still couldn’t contend with the Star Core’s will.”

    Seeing the little girl’s sorrowful demeanor, Star said,

    “If you can’t preserve it, let someone else do it.”

    The little girl was shocked by Star’s words, but quickly regained her composure, pointing to the Flaming Spear not far away.

    “If that’s the case, go, touch the light of [Amber]!”

    Star walked to the Flaming Spear, and the moment she touched it, a surge of flame erupted from the spear, causing Star to instinctively retract her hand.

    Star looked at the Flaming Spear, her gaze firm.

    “Hmph!!!”

    Star used all her strength to pull out the Flaming Spear.

    Star returned to reality.

    Star, holding the Flaming Spear in one hand and the Heavenly Fire Judgment in the other, spun and landed, precisely on the Creation Engine’s palm.

    March 7th, Dan Heng, Seele, and Broniya, seeing Star was unharmed, were overjoyed.

    “Star!” March 7th happily waved her hand.

    Star nodded with high spirits, then raised the Flaming Spear high.

    “Everyone! Let’s go!”

    Cocolia, seeing the reignited Flaming Spear, looked utterly incredulous.

    “No! No! Impossible! Why would Preservation choose you!”

    Cocolia unleashed her full power, completely merging with the Star Core.

    Cocolia raised her right hand, condensing a gigantic ice cone and smashing it towards Star and the others.

    Star raised the Flaming Spear, placing a protective shield over everyone.

    With her other hand, she drew the Heavenly Fire Judgment and swung her sword.

    Blazing flames cut towards the ice cone; the two collided in mid-air, the point of contact erupting with red and blue light.

    When the light dissipated, black smoke remained in its place.

    Suddenly!

    Star burst from the smoke, the Flaming Spear pointed at Cocolia high above.

    As Cocolia tried to condense another ice cone, Dan Heng and Seele suddenly appeared above her, launching an attack.

    Cocolia hastily defended, repelling the two.

    By the time she wanted to condense another ice cone, it was too late; Star’s Flaming Spear pierced Cocolia’s body, severely wounding her.

    Cocolia crashed heavily to the ground, her impact creating a deep crater.

    As soon as Cocolia got up, Star, wielding the Heavenly Fire Judgment, was already before her, striking down with a single blow that completely incapacitated Cocolia.

    “Impossible!”

    Cocolia lay weakly on the ground, light continuously leaking from her body.

    At this time, the others also arrived, Broniya looking at Cocolia with great heartache.

    “Mother!”

    Cocolia painfully looked up at Broniya; her restored consciousness filled her with comfort.

    Her daughter had grown up and now possessed the ability to protect Belobog.

    It’s wonderful… Cocolia suddenly felt a tearing sensation in her chest; the Star Core sensed danger and tried to escape.

    Cocolia forcefully held it in place, preventing its escape, and decided to perish together with the Star Core!

    “Don’t come closer! Broniya!”

    Broniya was overwhelmed with grief watching Cocolia.

    “No! Don’t do this! Mother!”

    Just then, an untimely voice rang out.

    “What’s with all the melodrama? I’m about to cry.”

    Everyone looked towards the sound and saw Ye Yun walking over with Rios.

    The little fire monkey and the little Bu Bu Seed on Rios’ back, seeing their master, quickly rushed towards him.

    Star and March 7th, considering the potential for a fierce battle, hadn’t brought the two little sprites yesterday, fearing they might get hurt.

    March 7th, seeing Ye Yun, was overjoyed.

    “Ye Yun! How did you get here?”

    Ye Yun scratched his ear.

    “I couldn’t bear watching from above, so I came down to help.”

    Ye Yun glanced at Cocolia, then at Broniya.

    “Broniya, right?”

    Broniya nodded.

    Ye Yun continued,

    “Remember to pay me 100 Star Crystals later.”

    After saying this, Ye Yun fiercely grabbed towards Cocolia’s direction, extracting and suppressing the Star Core from her body.

    Then, he tossed a vial emitting a white light towards Cocolia.

    The potion splashed onto Cocolia, instantly restoring her to full health from her near-death state.

    Star found this incredible, running to Ye Yun’s side and asking,

    “Ye Yun, what is this medicine? It’s so effective? Give me two bottles.”

    Ye Yun said,

    “Elf’s Life Water. Only one bottle left. 10,000 Star Coins. Are you sure you want to buy it?”

    Star immediately shut her mouth. Ten thousand! Enough to buy 10 of those garbage can lottery scratch-offs! No way! Absolutely not!
