Chapter 376


    On the sixth night, as darkness enveloped thend and the forest fell silent, only vin''s heavy


    footsteps moved forward. The Restoration Mantra continuously operated, repairing his injuries and


    renewing his energy.


    The eighteen statues remained silent and still, illuminated only by a thousand rays of radiant light.


    Crack!


    vin''s stepping foot shattered the stones before him, half his leg sunk into the ground, and his leg


    muscles and sinews were taut like iron rods. His blood was golden, such that after six days, his


    eyes, skin, and more all took on a pale golden hue.


    For six days and nights, he endured a grueling ordeal, pushing his limits to madness. Though he


    trembled with excruciating pain, his blood felt as if it were aze. Unbeknownst to him, the Golden


    Heart had already merged wlessly with his mortal flesh.


    As he stamped upon the earth, as his bones were once again torn asunder by chains, a great


    tumult arose from his spine. With a thunderous crash, twin golden wings burst forth from his back,


    flecked with droplets of blood, and unfurled with majestic strength. These wings, resplendent as if


    forged from the purest gold, radiated both beauty and an unyielding authority.


    "Are these... the Wings of Eternity?"


    vin, in awe, gazed skyward as the Golden Heart throbbed powerfully, its pulse echoing in his


    ears like the tolling of a distant bell.


    Flesh, sinew, and veins swiftly enveloped the bony appendages, growing before his eyes and


    sprouting magnificent feathers adorned in splendor. Soon, the golden wings pped with great


    force, scattering a shower of golden radiance across the heavens, breathtaking and grand in their


    expanse. Had any onlooker been present, they would have been utterly astounded by the sight of


    those resplendent golden wings, coveting the splendor they bestowed.


    vin felt as though he had been reborn. All weariness and pain swiftly faded, reced by a fiery


    surge of strength that filled his entire being. His eyes turned aplete golden hue, sparkling with


    the light of truth. Moreover, the perfect union of the Golden Heart and his blood had utterly


    transformed him, forcing a breakthrough in a critical moment from Stage II to Stage III.


    The unique properties of his golden blood,bined with vin''s six days of relentless


    determination, also caused the Vigor within him to soar exponentially, shattering the Shell and


    advancing into Armor!

    A series of breakthroughs triggered aplete metamorphosis!


    vin felt his strength double, his might nearing that of twenty thousand pounds. His numbed


    nerves slowly revived, and the hollow in his eyes regained their luster.


    With a powerful p of his golden wings, vin marched on. The pain was still piercing, the agony


    of his bones tearing remained, but the growth in his strength allowed him to move faster and with


    greater resolve.


    Yet at that moment, Godfred, having shattered a great mountain, saw his five Beast Spirits dissipate


    —his limit was reached! He knelt amidst the ruins, bloodied and trembling uncontrobly, his


    consciousness fading. He forced himself to stand, but his body refused to obey. His mouth seemed


    agape, but he could not even muster a sound.


    "Godfred, you must rest now. I will go on alone. I can do this," vin dered, his voice hoarse and


    low as he dragged eighteen statues toward the wreckage. His entire form was shrouded in a golden


    aura and enveloped by lightning, his pace quickening.


    “I can do this! I must do this!” Clinging to hisst ounce of strength, Godfred staggered to his feet,


    only to copse the next second. Tears welled up in his bloodshot eyes as he watched vin


    approach, saw the heaviness of his steps, and murmured with quivering lips. "Lord vin... I''m


    sorry..."


    High-pitched cries echoed from the skies as four fierce raptors broke through the dense clouds,


    circling in the night.


    Astride each raptor, figures peered down at the forest below, their eyes tracing the straight,


    shocking gouge that cut through the woond depths and stretched to the horizon.


    "There! Descend!" A sharpmand was given, and three raptors swooped down into the forest


    with a gust of wind.


    "Hurry, hurry!" E, apanied by three Elders, rushed to the scene, staring in amazement at the


    astonishing sight before them. The dazzling orb of light was like a midday sun nestled within the


    forest, its brilliance bathing the mountains and the ancient trees inyers of radiance. The “sun”


    pulsed with formidable energy, repelling the Magi-Monsters and predatory birds within a ten-mile


    radius. Eighteen thick chains stretched from within, anchoring into a smaller “storm cluster” half a


    mile away.


    "Miss, this is... this is..." The three Elders were truly stunned. They had lived for eighty years and


    seen much of the world but never such a spectacle.


    "The Royal Statues!" E gasped, incredulous. Were these the reinforcements vin spoke of?


    Had he dragged eighteen royal statues from the Royal Mausoleum? Was he taking them to the


    Stormcast?!


    "E! Clear the way!" vin quickened his stride, the thudding of his steps doubling in speed as he


    surged forward.
