Wizard: Stronger through Marriage Chapter 1230 - 570: Rainbow Core Element Crisis (2)

Hill nods, not responding immediately, but turning to the spirit beast on his shoulder—a small water spirit, entirely azure, with scale armor shining silver, and eyes sharp and full of wisdom.

"Akura, we need you to quickly dispatch a messenger to contact the Star Pupil Race, requesting more support."

The small spirit beast spread its wings and flew, gliding over the silver waterfall-like fountain at the palace’s pinnacle, it sliced through the air with its wings and emitted a clear call, the sound traversing space as if piercing through time and space barriers, flying toward the distant cosmos...

Meanwhile, in the underground chamber, Reina still gazes at the projection screen, constantly adjusting and analyzing parameters, "We must quickly decipher the chain reaction of the parasitic gene affecting the overall ecosystem to find defense strategies."

As she spoke, her fingertips swiftly traced the chaos rune in the void, with each rune lighting up, as if igniting a beacon of hope within the mist.

Erin sat cross-legged beside her, using frost energy to form a shield to stabilize the environment, while silently reciting ancient spells to ensure mental focus, "Nothing can stop our will, as long as we unite, there’s nothing we cannot overcome..."

The dawn’s light had not fully dispelled the night’s drapery as the Elemental World’s sky remained shrouded by dense clouds, the air filled with the pungent mix of flame and smoke.

Outside the Water Spirit King’s city, an expansive forest was consumed by flames, the fire illuminating half the sky, thick smoke billowing, stirring ashes and scorched leaves in the wind like a sea of death slowly spreading.

Within the king’s city, the towering Crystal Palace reflected cold, blue light, yet this tranquility had long been torn by nervousness and fear.

Inside the hall, Blue Queen Hill stands before the massive energy screen, her expression grim, eyes flickering with anger and worry.

She wears a thin silk robe, yet her shoulders are tense, each breath carrying a barely noticeable tremble.

On the screen, a ruthless fire is devouring the forest, remnants of the Flame Demon army’s passing.

Amidst the raging flames, countless trees collapse, their remains scattered on the ground, molten in lava-like heat.

A squad of Flame Demon soldiers with eyes as cold as metal march through the depths of the forest like hell’s messengers, mercilessly destroying all vitality in their path.

"Look there!" Hill suddenly points to a spot in the screen center where the flames are most intense, smoke densest, "That is our Sacred Tree Core; if it is destroyed, our entire elemental system will be paralyzed!"

Beside him, a young captain urgently reports, "Your Majesty, according to the latest reconnaissance, the army is swiftly approaching the outer perimeter of the fortress, our current defense forces cannot withstand a full attack."

The Queen’s gaze sweeps the hall’s surroundings, the guards and priests’ faces are pale, some grinding teeth, others with beads of sweat forming on foreheads.

"Time is running out." She whispered, "Activate the emergency teleportation array immediately, transfer essential resources and personnel to the core defense circle."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly grows heavy, everyone can feel the shadow of death gradually encroaching.

Through the tall dome’s glass windows outside, the distant sky flickers with dark red lightning, a precursor of the Flame Mage casting the "Lava Starburst Technique"—

A destructive forbidden attack, capable of instantly shattering all defenses.

Indeed, shortly afterward, a thunderous roar shook the entire city’s shield, the atmosphere vibrating as if thunder exploded.

A large, glowing flow as scorching and dazzling as the sun’s surface, mixed with shards of red meteors, crashed into the shield’s central region—

The shield composed of pure water element magic and ancient runes instantly splits open with a deep crack, like a serpentine beast extending, seemingly about to rip the entire defense into pieces.

"Emergency! All warriors deploy to the damaged area!" Hill’s voice rang loud and resolute, she turned to issue orders, "Priests, maintain and strengthen the protective barrier around the Rainbow Core, at all costs, guard this lifeline!"

The guards swiftly assembled in the hall, clad in silvery-blue armor, moving fluidly like water as they quickly formed lines opposing the advancing army.

The air is filled with the scent of rust, scorching heat, and a faintly sour ominous odor. Each sword swing and spell release brims with chilling cold or surging power, starkly contrasting the foes’ fiery devastation.

From afar, deafening war cries echoed through the valley, countless Flame Demon soldiers surged forward like a frenzy, trampling trees and life furiously and ruthlessly.

Their sharp cries seemed capable of piercing into the depths of the soul, sending shivers through all witnesses.

Yet the Water Spirit guards stood fearless, they raised swords, shouted vows, forged an indestructible human wall with resilient will!

Meanwhile, at a distant teleportation node, a young messenger, drenched in sweat, trembling hands activated the teleportation rune.

Powerful elemental energy surged within him, yet fear could not be concealed: "Your Majesty! I have activated the teleportation gate, requesting immediate evacuation!"

Hill nods resolutely, her voice firm yet gentle: "Go! Protect our people, I will guard the main hall against the enemy personally!"

As the rune lit up, a vortex gate gradually took shape, its center rotating like a deep sea whirlpool, the power both thrilling and daunting, subtly distorting the surrounding air, the drawn crowd stepped into it one by one, vanishing without trace, leaving only a string of residual ripples spreading away.

The battle kept escalating, the bluish rune ripples on the marble platform flickered intermittently due to the elemental world’s instability, yet still maintained overall stability.

Beside them, Reina clutched her magic staff tightly, fully focused on assisting and reinforcing the barrier, while Erin used frost magic to halt enemy advancement, shielding those retreating from fatal impacts.

At this moment, the environment worsened—the land, scorched by flames, cracked open, countless dead plants withered yellow and lingered, and the clouds in the sky occasionally cut through by lightning illuminated the earth;

Storms swept through ruins, dispersing dust and the gloomy aura, unable to veil the rare crisis looming over the human race.

Hill stood at the center of the observatory, her fists clenched tightly, skin glowing faint blue light, harmonizing with the massive Rainbow Core’s radiant glow behind her, resembling a goddess tasked by destiny, solemn and untouchable.

"We cannot fall, nor will we ever surrender!" Her voice echoed firmly in everyone’s ears, "As long as there is a ray of hope, we will keep fighting!"

Night stealthily descended upon the fortress, the dense clouds appearing as heavy black veils, enveloping the entire Elemental World.

A gale swept through carrying ashes, whipping up the dust and withered leaves around the Crystal Palace.

The air swirled with scorching and corrosive scents, an omen signaling death’s approach.

The giant Rainbow Core Crystal still stood in the central square of the fortress, its multicolored glow flickering dimly, unable to conceal the unease and distortion surging within.

Hill Queen stood by the Rainbow Core, her clear eyes now full of worry and tension.

Surrounding her were guards clad in silvery-blue armor, their expressions grave, and numerous priests clutching their staffs with heavy faces.

In the atmosphere, a nearly tangible tension was condensed.

Nearby, Reina frowned, watching the magic projection that floated, the projection like an abyss reflecting countless evolving data streams and complex runes.

As her slender fingertips lightly touched, strings of deep blue light flashed rapidly, presenting unprecedented informational structures to her eyes.

"Queen Hill" Reina’s voice was low and urgent, "I have just completed the latest sampling analysis of the Rainbow Core’s data stream."

She slowly raised her head, her bright eyes reflecting abyss-like darkness, "There are chaos runes lingering in the coding chains, indicating... the Rainbow Core is being eroded by extremely strong and complex chaos force."
