Chapter 71: The Moon Goddess Awakens
561 Words
The silver light continued to spread across the battlefield.
It shone brighter than the flames and shadows surrounding them.
For a moment, everything became silent.
Even the monsters stopped moving.
All eyes turned toward Aria.
She stood in the center of the glowing light, her body surrounded by soft waves of moon energy.
Her long hair floated gently around her as if carried by an invisible wind.
The crescent mark on her skin burned like a small star.
Kael stared at her in shock.
“Aria…?”
Her eyes slowly opened.
They no longer looked the same.
Instead of their usual color, they now glowed with pure silver light.
Darius narrowed his eyes.
“So the legends were true.”
The Devourer stepped back slightly.
Dravoryx studied her carefully.
“What have you become?”
Aria lifted her head slowly.
Her voice sounded calm and powerful.
“I am the Moon’s chosen.”
The silver energy around her suddenly expanded.
BOOOOM!
A powerful wave of light pushed back the darkness across the battlefield.
Shadow creatures screamed as they dissolved under the moonlight.
The Lycan warriors watched in awe.
Commander Roran whispered, “The Moon Goddess… she’s awakening.”
Kael slowly stood up, ignoring the pain in his body.
His eyes were filled with both amazement and concern.
“Aria… can you control it?”
Aria turned toward him.
Her expression was peaceful.
“Yes.”
But her gaze soon shifted back toward the towering monster.
Dravoryx’s red eyes burned with anger.
“You believe this light can defeat me?”
He spread his enormous wings again.
Dark energy erupted around him like a storm.
“I have consumed entire kingdoms!”
Aria didn’t move.
Instead, she raised one glowing hand.
Moonlight gathered in her palm.
A small sphere of silver energy formed.
The Devourer roared and lunged forward.
His massive claws tore through the air toward her.
But Aria simply whispered one word.
“Stop.”
The moment the word left her lips—
Dravoryx froze.
His giant body stopped in mid-movement.
The battlefield gasped in shock.
Darius blinked.
“That shouldn’t be possible.”
Aria stepped forward slowly.
The silver light followed her like a flowing river.
“You came here to destroy our world.”
Her glowing eyes locked onto the monster.
“But the moon watches over all life.”
Dravoryx struggled against the invisible force holding him.
“You cannot control me!”
With a violent roar, he finally broke free.
The invisible power shattered like glass.
He swung his massive tail in fury.
Aria lifted her hand again.
The moonlight shield appeared instantly.
BOOM!
The attack slammed into the barrier, but this time it didn’t crack.
Not even slightly.
Dravoryx stared in disbelief.
Kael’s golden eyes widened.
“She’s stronger than before.”
Darius crossed his arms thoughtfully.
“Much stronger.”
Aria slowly lifted both hands.
Silver energy gathered above the battlefield like a second moon forming in the sky.
The air hummed with power.
Dravoryx finally realized something terrible.
For the first time since the battle began…
Fear flickered in his glowing red eyes.
“What are you doing?”
Aria’s voice echoed softly across the valley. Ending this war.”
The massive sphere of moonlight continued growing above them.
And every warrior on the battlefield knew—
The next attack would decide everything.
