Chapter 900: Chapter 598 The “Firebearers” in the Darkness!_2 Chapter 900: Chapter 598 The “Firebearers” in the Darkness!_2 Colin’s vision turned dark, and his body fell backwards amidst a splash of blood…

A pair of hands caught the falling Colin.

“Ha… It seems… still not enough.”

Colin tilted his head slightly, and after seeing Shana, he spoke with a hint of helplessness.

“It’s okay,”

Shana shook her head, and as their eyes met, she revealed an angelic smile.

She reached out to wipe the blood from Colin’s face and tried her best to contain the injuries inside his body. Then, as Shana was about to say something, she saw Colin slowly raise his hand and pass over a spherical orb of light.

Rings of light radiated from the orb.

Emanating from it was an extremely terrifying power…

“I never had the chance to give you anything, but now I finally do. This is a gift for you, a trait I just acquired,” Colin said hoarsely, lying in her arms.

“Thank you,” Shana accepted the thing.

The trait, containing a portion of “Authority,” was absorbed into her being as soon as it was obtained.

As a being of the same origin, she already had enough accumulation to quickly assimilate it completely into a part of herself.

And she could ensure that she wouldn’t be too disturbed…

However, this required a certain calm period, which she did not plan to leave for.

“I will stay with you until the very end, through pain, death, or eternity,”

Shana clung tightly to Colin, having agreed to come here and accept such a fate, with no regrets… and once again, she expressed her feelings to him.

Compared to other Saints, she felt she was fortunate enough.

She had found like-minded individuals; she wasn’t fighting alone.

“Hmm…” Colin did not say anything else.

Although he had previously destroyed a large number of entities, at the same time, Colin realized that beyond these ‘First Level Containment Subjects’ that had descended, there were many superior beings so powerful that even ordinary lower echelon subjects trembled in their presence, waiting indifferently for something.

Colin wanted to take them down, but they chose to avoid his edge, leaving him unable to strike.

Even, to be realistic, even if he pursued them, he couldn’t resolve them in a short amount of time.

Soon, it would be time for their true descent…

Almost nothing could withstand the backlash from these real “upper-echelon First Level Containment Subjects.”

But, Colin could no longer fret over this issue, as he felt darkness enshrouding him, as if something was swallowing him…

Possibly the “Night”?

Somehow derived from the trait of “Primordial Fire,” an inspiration made Colin aware.

All those who failed in their ultimate breakthrough would be devoured by the “Night.”

This entity did not affect anyone around, targeting only him.

“Colin?” Shana was the first to notice that Colin’s body was becoming “hollow,” as his rationality almost completely evaporated.

However, as for why this was happening, she had no clue.

And without time to think more, terrifying beings quietly descended.

With her lustrous wings, she wrapped Colin, and stood in front.

But, facing those dreadful beings, her and the “King of Madness” along with all the others could do little, and unable to retreat, the battle did not last long before Shana was gravely injured.

And farther away, many others also felt the utmost terror, praying dully.

After a while, nearly exhausted, Shana fell to the ground with Colin, turning into a ball of light, and fiercely protected him beneath her.

Terrible blood-red lightning struck down from the vault of the sky…

The light emanating from Shana trembled, yet there was still no sign of releasing her grip.

However, just as the upper-echelon terrifying powers were about to completely obliterate her, erasing all signs of her life, Shana, with a heart resigned to death, suddenly felt all the attacks vanish into thin air.

Before she could even wonder why, she suddenly felt Colin underneath her stir…

Shana hurriedly looked down, only to see Colin looking around blankly, unresponsive to her calls.

“Who is calling me…”

Colin rose, his eyes seeing only pitch black and within that darkness, countless voices seemed to be praying, praying for warmth, praying for hope…

“When the Night arrives, there should be one to light the Flame, illuminating all directions.”

This phrase echoed in his mind, and Colin with a near-blank mind, made a choice from the deepest part of his inner self, slowly stretched his hand into his chest, and with a gentle tug, pulled out a beating heart.

The moment it was exposed to the air, it burned intensely!

Then, like lifting a torch, Colin slowly raised it high.

“No need to fear, for I shall light the night,”

Colin began to speak slowly, watching the burning flame, as his human nature swiftly returned.

In that instant, the warm firelight responded to every shivering weakling.

And at that moment, it transported them one by one.

Several seconds later, accompanied by a sigh, Colin’s hand began to tremble, gradually lowering, and even though reluctant, it was to no avail…

“I have done everything I could. Will there be more hope for the future…”

Colin’s voice grew fainter, and as his hand slowly dropped, the light of the fire dimmed and disappeared.

And as his words fell silent, he did not move, as if he had lost all signs of life.

“Yes, you’ve done very well…”

Shana knew he might not hear her, but still spoke softly, then hugged Colin’s body tightly into her arms.
