Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 1043 - 477: Collapse of the Earth Veins

Annie, as the first anchor of the "Faith Network", her status and influence are continually rising.

Not only has she become the new Guardian of the Frost Domain, but she has also attracted more and more followers who come to worship and seek protection.

Her name has begun to spread throughout the Wizarding World, becoming a highly respected and revered Divine. At the edge of the Frost Domain, the dark tendrils of the Eternal Night Council silently extend.

They dispatched the powerful "Earth Abyss Apostle", aiming to seize the Earth Vein Core awakened within Annie, scheming a secret plot.

Reina accidentally touched the fragments deep in her memory, which hid ancient secrets about the Earth Veins, but also inadvertently triggered a trap laid out by the Eternal Night Council.

Instantly, an invisible force enveloped the team, spatial distortion occurred, and they found themselves in an unfamiliar realm filled with endless darkness and oppression.

Facing the sudden predicament, Liya demonstrated her wisdom and calmness.

She quickly retrieved an ancient map left by the Star Pupil Race from the books she carried, a mysterious scroll inscribed in an unknown language, recording the secret path to the Titan Ruins.

Liya finally deciphered the information on the map, revealing the "Heart of Desolation"—the true location of the Earth Vein Core—hidden deep within the Titan Burial Grounds.

Meanwhile, the Earth Vein Energy within Annie began to spiral out of control, her body gradually crystalizing as if being swallowed by the earth.

Seeing this, David unhesitatingly summoned Chaos Divine Fire, the flames blazing and pure, forcibly suppressing the Rebound Force within Annie.

However, this was merely a temporary relief. To completely solve the issue, they must find the "Heart of Desolation" quickly and unravel the mystery of the Earth Veins.

Under Liya’s guidance, the team embarked on a challenging journey toward the Titan Burial Grounds.

They traversed through shadowy forests, crossed ice-sealed rivers, and finally arrived at the "Skeleton Corridor"—a passageway formed by countless Titan remnants.

The place brimmed with the aura of death, each step seemed to echo the reverberations of history. At the corridor’s end, they encountered a blockade by Undead Titan Puppets.

These enormous creatures, fused from Titan remnants and unknown Dark Magic, possessed immense power and invulnerability.

The battle was exceptionally fierce, each member displaying their skills, but the number and strength of the Undead Titan Puppets plunged the situation into a crisis.

At this critical juncture, Cynthia stepped forward.

She awakened the Plague Power within her, a terrifying force capable of corroding all Life Force.

With a light wave of her Magic Staff, a dark green mist spread out, swiftly eroding the core of the Undead Titan Puppets.

Though these puppets were immortal, their power stemmed from a certain unknown magic drive, which the Plague Power could dismantle. However, Cynthia’s actions inadvertently triggered a curse deep within the Earth Veins.

A more ancient and powerful force surged from underground, severely impacting the team.

The wrath of the Earth Veins roared like a flood of beasts, posing an unprecedented threat to everyone.

Faced with the rampage of the Earth Vein curse, the team members did not give up.

David once again deployed Chaos Divine Fire, raising a protective shield for the team;

Though Annie’s body hadn’t fully recovered, she used her subtle connection with the Earth Veins, trying to guide this curse force to lessen its impact on the team;

Reina utilized her wisdom, analyzing the source and nature of the curse, seeking a way to break it;

Liya continued deciphering the ancient Star Pupil Race texts, hoping to find clues about the Earth Vein curse;

Cynthia exerted all her strength to stabilize the Plague Power, preventing it from further spiraling out of control.

In this race against time, the team members demonstrated astonishing perseverance and teamwork.

They supported each other, jointly facing difficulties and challenges.

After countless attempts and failures, they finally discovered the key to breaking the Earth Vein curse—utilizing the power of the "Heart of Desolation" to balance and purify the curse.

Thus, guided by David, Annie connected her Earth Vein Energy with the "Heart of Desolation", a warm and pure force surged from the earth, in stark contrast to the curse force.

Over time, this force gradually gained the upper hand, the Earth Vein curse began to recede, and the team finally managed to escape the predicament.

Under the glow of the "Heart of Desolation", Annie seemed enveloped by an ancient and powerful force.

That was the source of the Earth Veins, the remnants of Titan’s will, and the manifestation of the Natural Law.

However, deep within this force, lay the endless resentment from the fall of the Titans, transforming into "Curse Whispers", silently eroding Annie’s consciousness.

Annie felt her thoughts becoming blurred, those whispers like nightmares, echoed in her mind, attempting to drag her into endless darkness.

Her eyes grew hollow, her body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if about to collapse at any moment.

In this perilous moment, the Artifact Spirit sensed Annie’s plight.

It unhesitatingly released the power of the Elemental Rainbow Core, a miraculous existence capable of harmonizing Natural Elements and constructing formidable defenses.

Brilliant lights emanated from within Annie, rapidly forming an impregnable barrier, isolating the "Curse Whispers" outside. However, constructing this barrier was not without cost.
