Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1178: Saint

It was already late at night when Hillfa left the castle. Tonight, the sky was clear and the crescent moon was hanging in the west. There were a few faint cloud bands wrapped around it, giving off a hazy radiance between the clouds. The young general looked up at the bright crescent moon and praised sincerely, "This is the most beautiful moonlight I have ever seen."

The soldier behind him smiled and said, "Sir, it's getting late. If you need it, I can find a place for you to rest for the night."

"Thank you for your kindness, but there's no need. I can't help but want to take a walk in the moonlight with such a beautiful moonlight."

"Alright then. Good night."

"See you later."

Hillfa wrapped his cloak and walked onto the Grand Dao at the center of the lake. The moonlight made the surface of the lake shine like fish scales. It was so beautiful that it was like a halo refracted by a crystal diamond. Hillfa passed through the flash of light, landed, and turned to the great road that led through the forest. The forest was not dim. The moonlight drilled through the gaps between the leaves and branches, leaving behind tiny specks of light on the ground. It was as if the stars that filled the sky had landed on the ground, making the forest look beautiful and mysterious.

"It is indeed a young planet with a civilization equivalent to the medieval stage of the old era, but Origin Energy is strangely vigorous, as if it is constantly emerging from the earth. "No wonder civilization is so backward, but there are so many powerful beings inside the planet" Hillfa observed everything he could see and gave a simple assessment of Heaven's Planet.

He walked slowly, as he had said to the guards. He did not look like he was traveling, but more like he was taking a walk. On this quiet night, Hillfa's mood was as calm as ever. However, he suddenly stopped. In front of him, the main road continued to extend. There was a fine moonlight falling on the road. From the general's eyes, he could even see the scenery several hundred meters away. However, in his perception, there was a deep shadow hanging there. It divided the road and the forest into two. Before the shadows, everything was the same. After the shadows, Hillfa could see nothing but darkness.

"Who's there?" Hillfa asked softly.

Then, the shadow in his perception suddenly disappeared and a tall figure emerged from behind an oak tree by the side of the road. The moonlight flashed past his long, black hair, which was as smooth as glass, and landed on his handsome and perfect face. Finally, it stopped in his cold and heartless eyes. In Stark's eyes, Hillfa's figure was reflected.

"Who are you?" Hillfa asked.

Stark smiled, but his smile did not dilute the coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes. Instead, it was more like a crack in the thousand-year-old profound ice, causing an even colder chill to arise from it. "Lord Alan asked me to tell you that he doesn't want to return to Earth, so I have to ask you to disappear."

Hillfa narrowed his eyes.

He shook his head and said, "Alan is a ball of fire. I saw in his eyes the love of life, the loyalty to the family, the concern for friends. He was like a ball of fire in the snow in winter, enough to warm people's hearts. But you are ice, in your eyes, what I see is indifference to everything, disdain for life and twisted darkness. You and he are two completely different kinds of people. Ice and fire will never melt. It 's a little hard for me to believe you' re his friend. "

A trace of surprise flashed through Stark's eyes. He said sincerely, "I never thought that your pair of young eyes would be able to perceive the essence of things. Unfortunately, I can't let you go. Then I can only ask you to truly disappear."

His tone sounded like he was asking questions. In fact, Stark didn't intend to give Hillfa a choice. He raised his hand, and space began to tremble. A multicolored ribbon of light appeared on Stark's head, stretching out. It was a spatial rift that could cut through everything!

"God said that there must be light." Hillfa suddenly whispered and crossed his chest like a devout saint. This action made Stark feel ridiculous. In the next moment, he couldn't laugh out loud. A beam of light suddenly descended from the sky. The golden beam of light pierced through the forest and landed on Hillfa. Within the golden pillar of light, Hillfa looked incomparably holy.

Stark snorted and raised his finger. The spatial rift above his head moved, leaving behind a trail of light in the air like the aurora of the Northern Lands, silently sliding towards Hillfa. His golden light was simply too dazzling, especially on this clear night. As long as someone looked in this direction, they would definitely be able to see Hillfa's golden light. This was not in line with his plan, so he had to make a quick decision.

Seeing that the spatial rift was about to cut through Hillfa, he and his golden light were going to be wiped away. The young Commonwealth Admiral whispered again, "God says, praise my name and keep the darkness far away …"

Somehow Stark suddenly heard an undetectable singing sound. He could not understand what it was singing, but he could feel that it was singing about something and rejoicing in it. Then something unbelievable happened. When the spatial rift touched the golden pillar of light around Hillfa's body, it twisted twice and dissipated like smoke.

"Impossible!" Stark shouted softly.

"Nothing is impossible. In my blessed domain, nothing can harm me unless the universe ends. When the hymn is sounded, I am invincible." Hillfa smiled.

Stark frowned. The spatial rift wasn't his biggest killing move, but it wasn't far off. If the spatial rift wasn't damaged at all, it would be very difficult to kill this Earth visitor in a short period of time, even if he went all out. At this moment, a human voice could be heard from the direction of Unicorn Castle. Obviously, someone had noticed Hillfa's eye-catching beam of light. Stark snorted and quickly retreated. His figure flickered and disappeared into the shadows of the forest.

After confirming that his aura was far away, the golden light around Hillfa disappeared. He shook his head. The Divine Blessing Domain could indeed put him in an invincible position. However, this powerful defensive ability also had enormous limitations. Within that domain, Hillfa could do nothing. Unless he withdrew his domain, he could do nothing else, and the domain could not last forever. Fortunately, Stark didn't want to stay long, otherwise, there would be another great battle.

However, Stark's arrival indirectly confirmed Hillfa's thoughts. "Sure enough, it's not someone from Alan's side. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to leave for fear of being discovered. But why would this fellow frame Alan?"

Stark returned to Trisen Town. After finding the two sword slaves, he rode the carriage and left overnight. He could no longer stay here. Whether Sylpha told Alan what had happened on the Forest Avenue or not, Alan would adapt to his aura from the traces of his attack. Stark, who was sitting in the carriage, did not say a word, but Merry, who was familiar with him, could feel that under her master's calm exterior, there was actually an inexplicable fury surging within her.

Stark was not an easy person to discourage, but his actions tonight gave him a sense of frustration. When he saw the rain of light on the battlefield during the day, Stark knew that Diego had completed his mission, attracting interferors from outside the planet. Afterwards, he closely monitored the situation in Unicorn Castle, and Hillfa's arrival naturally caught his attention. He had intended to attack Hillfa on Forest Avenue, further aggravating relations between the Federation and Allen. However, he didn't expect Hillfa to see through his tricks at first glance. After that, he changed his mind and planned to kill Hillfa. However, he didn't expect that his spatial rift would actually be useless in the slightest.

Now, not only did he not kill Hillfa, he also let the other party know that there was someone like him. Stark vaguely felt that his meticulous plan would reveal a flaw in tonight's operation, and this flaw would grow bigger and bigger. He didn't know if this was some kind of coincidence or if the power of fate was causing trouble. This made him extremely irritated.

"What? You want to leave for a while?"

Julian looked at Alan in confusion, almost suspecting that he had heard wrong. The prince shook his head and said, "Are you kidding me, count? Are you leaving at this time?"

Alan nodded heavily, "I'm sorry, Your Highness." It came too suddenly, and I knew how inappropriate it was to make such a request at this time, but I had to do so. Fortunately, the main outsider army was completely defeated yesterday. They believed that they would no longer be able to organize an army of that size in a short period of time, and there were Lord Hoey and Lord Midian guarding this place. My departure will not have much impact on the overall situation. "

'"Well, then, I know you're not an unimportant person. There must be a reason for you to choose to leave at this time, so can you tell me the reason?" Julian sighed.

"Forgive me for not answering. I really don't want to deceive you, but I can't tell you the reason. At least not now, Your Highness." Alan knelt on one knee. "So I can only ask you to believe me, please believe me, Your Highness. I will come back when you need me."

"Alright, I believe you. Because you have never disappointed me before, and this time will not be an exception." Julian helped him up and said, "Go and come back as soon as you can, my friend."

After bidding farewell to Julian, Alan returned to his room and saw Lucy and Laura. He smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "I know you guys have a lot of questions to ask me, but I really don't have time to answer them now. I have to do my homework first. There are too many things I have to assign to everyone. Here's one thing …"

He took out a letter and handed it to Laura, "You have to go now, Laura. Go find Edward and hand it to him personally. Remember, it's very important for Edward to take it personally. I only trust you. I'm worried about leaving it to someone else."

Laura took the letter and nodded, "Then I'll say goodbye to you here."

"Don't worry, we'll see each other soon." Alan gently kissed her cheek. The latter nodded, hid the letter and quickly left. Alan looked at Lucy and smiled, "Do me a favor and go get everyone, will you?"

Lucy shrugged, "I don't think I can refuse."
