1673  Chapter 1491: Meteors

In the midst of the chaos and destruction, a glimmer of hope sparked within the hearts of the defenders. They held onto the belief that with Gracier by their side, they might just survive the relentless onslaught. The fire serpent, a symbol of devastation, continued to rampage, reducing a third of the monstrous horde to smoldering ash. But as its fiery fury began to fade, its magical fuel dwindling, an opportunity arose.

From the remaining ranks of monsters emerged powerful figures. Trolls, their regenerative flesh pulsating with a sickly green light, and mutated two-headed ogres, their muscles bulging with unnatural strength, stepped forward. With crude magic infused with dark energy, they aimed to extinguish Gracier's creation. Their guttural roars challenged the lone figure floating above the battlefield.

However, Gracier remained unfazed by their defiance. Her playful glint was replaced by a serene calm in her mismatched eyes. With a flick of her wrist, a crimson bow materialized, its polished wood emitting an otherworldly glow. She nocked an arrow, not made of wood or metal, but of pure, condensed flame.

As the monstrous charge began, Gracier released the arrow with a whispered command. It soared through the smoke-filled sky like a blazing comet. Then, with a burst of magical energy, the arrow transformed. It became a magnificent Eastern Dragon, its scales shimmering with an iridescent glow from another realm. With a mighty roar that shook the city's foundations, the dragon engulfed the charging Troll in its fiery embrace.

BOOM!

The Troll's enraged bellow was silenced, replaced by a sickening sizzle as it was consumed from within.

Witnessing the fate of its companion, the remaining two-headed ogre faltered in its charge. Fear flickered in its multiple eyes, momentarily overtaking its primal rage. This unexpected turn of events threw the monsters into disarray.

"Flame Goddess!"

"Flame Goddess!"

The defenders, their spirits reignited by Gracier's display of power, erupted in a thunderous cheer that echoed through the canyons. Their renewed defiance rang out against the encroaching darkness.

Unyielding in her composure, Gracier had more in store. As the fire dragon began to fade, she exerted her control, manipulating its fiery essence. With a simple flick of her wrist, the dragon dissolved, scattering into a breathtaking shower of radiant embers. Descending upon the battlefield, Gracier whispered an incantation, her voice barely audible yet pulsating with immense power.

"Blossom, Fire Lotus!"

The embers, reaching a critical point near the remaining monsters, erupted in a blinding flash. A colossal fire lotus materialized, its petals formed from blazing flames. It consumed the two-headed ogres and any other formidable creatures unfortunate enough to be caught in its path. Their startled cries were swiftly silenced, replaced by bone-chilling screams of despair that sent shivers through the spines of all who witnessed it, friend and foe alike.

The Giant Fire Lotus burned with a relentless intensity, devouring everything it touched. Not even ash remained – these formidable monsters were simply erased from existence. The lesser monsters that remained, their courage shattered by abject terror, turned and fled. The once-fiery determination in their eyes had been extinguished by Gracier's overwhelming display of power. With a being like her on the battlefield, victory seemed impossibly out of reach for them.

The atmosphere on the battlefield shifted from panic to sheer terror as the remaining monsters found themselves trapped and the sky grew even darker. An eerie sensation, like a predator stalking its prey, permeated the air, causing even the composed Gracier to falter. She bit her lip, her mismatched eyes widening with a flicker of genuine fear. It became clear that this was the true threat, the one behind the relentless onslaught.

A monstrous shadow, vast and shapeless, emerged from the very ground, eclipsing the sun. As it took form, gasps of horror echoed through the defenders. It was a creature of pure nightmare, its shape shifting and swirling like a living vortex of darkness. A primal terror gripped the hearts of everyone present, from the valiant defenders to the fleeing monsters.

The creature opened its maw, a grotesque mockery of a mouth resembling a jagged jigsaw puzzle stitched together. A deafening roar erupted from the abyss within, a sonic wave of pure malevolence that tore through the battlefield. Soldiers were flung into the air, their armor offering no protection against the invisible force. Sections of the city wall crumbled under the assault, showering the battlefield with debris and cries of pain. Gracier, momentarily staggered by the force of the roar, regained her composure, her resolve hardening. This might be the true threat, but she would not retreat.

Gracier, propelled by a surge of adrenaline, assessed her remaining mana. Thankfully, it seemed half remained, enough for a desperate gamble. With a flick of her wrist, she ignited the heat radiating from the battlefield, weaving it into numerous flaming chains. These molten serpents shot forth, wrapping around the monstrous shadow in an attempt to bind its grotesque form. It was a temporary measure, she knew, but it would have to buy her time.

Drawing on the last vestiges of her power, Gracier raised both hands towards the sky, her voice ringing out with an authority that defied her youthful appearance.

"As heir to the Flame Throne, I command you to descend and destroy: **Meteors!**"

The incantation echoed through the battlefield, a final act of defiance against the encroaching darkness. As the last word left her lips, the sky above the creature pulsed with an otherworldly light. Two colossal objects, their fiery surfaces dwarfing even the largest of ogres, materialized from the inky blackness of space. They weren't moons, nor asteroids, but celestial bodies wreathed in an inferno, summoned by Gracier's desperate plea.

A collective gasp rippled through the ranks of the defenders. Even the fleeing monsters, momentarily halted by the sheer spectacle of it all, turned to witness this awe-inspiring phenomenon. The meteors, like grim reapers hurtling towards oblivion, descended upon their designated target – the monstrous shadow writhing beneath the fiery chains.

With the remaining dregs of her mana, Gracier summoned a final act of protection. A translucent dome of shimmering flame engulfed the city walls, a desperate shield against the impending cataclysm.

Then, with a deafening,

KABOOOOOOOOOOOM!  that shook the very foundations of the world, the meteors collided with the monstrous shadow. The resulting explosion rivaled the Big Bang itself.

''!!!!!!!!!!!"

A blinding flash of white light momentarily extinguished everything, followed by a shockwave that ripped through the air, flattening anything in its path.

When the light faded, revealing a scene of utter devastation, a colossal crater marred the battlefield. The monstrous shadow – the true orchestrator of the assault – was utterly obliterated, leaving behind only a lingering wisp of smoke.

''!"

Silence descended upon the battlefield, broken only by the ragged gasps of the defenders. Gracier, drained of her power, collapsed onto the scorched earth, her breathing shallow and labored. Her victory had come at a steep price, leaving her utterly exhausted. Yet, as she looked upon the smoldering crater and the stunned faces of the defenders above, a flicker of a smile played on her lips.

Highfront, battered but unbroken, had been saved.

Explosion!
