Euphosine reeled back in pain. At this time, a huge earthquake shook the hall.
"No… No… NOO…!!!" Euphosine shouted frantically, more due to the earthquake than the pain caused by Jack's slash.
She understood what this earthquake was. Her eyes turned to where the divine heritage used to be.
The divine heritage was already inside Master's inventory. Master was floating in the sky and still had Grace pinned to the wall. He had been pondering whether he should use this chance to ambush and kill Jack while Jack was busy with Euphosine.
But after seeing Euphosine's eyes. He knew he would be the mad priestess' main target. It would be him who got ganged up on instead. So, he chose to retreat.
He sent a message to Motherboard.
This entire dimension was supported by the divine heritage. Even when sealed, it maintained its link to this dimension. Once the divine heritage entered Master's inventory, this link was cut. The dimension lost its power source, so it started to collapse. That was the cause of the huge earthquake.
At the moment, this mansion had returned to the normal game world. The dimension that held Euphosine's bizarre game was no more.
And so, Master could send messages again.
Soon, a text box with an offer appeared in front of him. He accepted the offer and disappeared from there just as Euphosine's ice sword flew past where he was a moment ago.
"NOOO…!!!" Euphosine screamed madly.
Jack understood how Master escape. The vanishing animation was from the activation of a Recall Plate. Master must have given one to his subordinates to use in an emergency, so he could flee even during combat.
Euphosine was still screaming madly. She couldn't accept the fact that the divine heritage was gone.
Jack saw this as best a time as any to go full offense. He summoned his spirit weapon. With Therras' earth core bomb and the spirit weapon's final mode, he performed another combination attack. He unleashed soul breath and Lightning God Barrage. After activating his Dragon Eye, he also cast Orb of Storm and Perpetual Lightning Judgement.
When Talia saw Jack's assault, she also acted. She had been weakened. But after Jack saved her, she had been gathering power. She now unleashed that power.
"Sister…!" She made one last call to Euphosine as her spell was cast. Dense flames swirled around Euphosine. It was her flame nova.
It looked much weaker compared to Euphosine's ice nova and Aglea's light nova, but all three were spells of the same power level. The difference was that Talia was in a weakened state and she also used mana manipulation to control the AOE of the spell so that it was concentrated and didn't hit Jack and the others inside this hall.
The six massive attacks of five elements landed on Euphosine's body. Her mind was still lamenting the loss of the divine heritage. She didn't do anything to defend herself.
The blast from the attack sent a shockwave throughout the hall. Everyone was sent crashing into the wall.
The first thing Jack did after regaining balance was look at his radar. There was no longer a red dot in the middle of the hall. The dissipating dust cloud from the explosion revealed Euphosine who was on the ground. She was not moving. Several items were beside her, while one small glowing orb floated toward Talia and entered her body.
"Yes…!!" Jack exclaimed. Floating beside him was his Runestone of Luck.
He wasn't confident his combined attack could take out Euphosine's remaining HP. Even combining his attacks with Master's spells only yielded them ten percent of Euphosine's HP. But when he saw Talia's flames, he knew the combination attack might be the killing blow, so he summoned his Runestone of Luck.
While Jack rejoiced at the triumph, Talia slumped on the ground. Tears rolled down her face. Despite the victory, she was now alone. Both her sisters were gone.
Jack realized her sadness and tried to tone down his joy in winning this battle.
He came to Talia and said, "I'm sorry for your loss."
Talia took a deep breath. "I lost her long ago... What we defeated just now is just a husk of her former self."
Jack didn't know what else to say so he moved away and headed to where Euphosine's body was to take a look at the loots, but then he saw Kramer's body not far away. It was badly burned but otherwise intact.
It was not yet one hour.
He turned to Talia and asked, "Talia, do you have the resurrection spell?"
Talia looked confused for a moment. She then answered, "Unfortunately, I'm not proficient in healing spells, but why do you want to resurrect Euphosine?"
"Not her," Jack said. He then took out his kingdom badge.
He had received several message notifications after the big earthquake. He knew then that they were back to the normal world. Jack interfaced with his kingdom badge and Laurent appeared in front of him.
"What can I help you with, Your Majesty?" Laurent asked. He didn't see any enemies around. There were signs of battle, though.
"Laurent, please tell me your Resurrection spell is not on cooldown…," Jack said with hopeful eyes.
"Uh… It is not," Laurent answered.
"Perfect! Quick, come! Please, resurrect this one!" Jack gestured for Laurent to follow while pointing at Kramer's body.
Even though he was confused, Laurent followed through with the request. He cast the spell once Kramer was within range. A soothing light fell above Kramer's body.
Jack watched with expectant eyes as the light dissipated. Kramer's eyes opened then.
"Yes…!!" Jack exclaimed.
"Your… Your Majesty…?" Kramer asked weakly. His mind was hazy. He couldn't remember much. He also felt pains all over his body.
"Don't move first, you are still hurt," Jack said. The resurrection brought Kramer back to life with only ten percent of HP. Many burned marks were still on his body.
Laurent cast a few more healing spells to bring Kramer's HP back up. Peniel also helped with the healing. The burned marks around Kramer's body soon vanished magically. Kramer now looked as good as new.
He remembered what had happened then.
"I… I thought I'd died…?" He asked.
"You did. He brought you back," Jack pointed at Laurent.
"Tha… Thank you…!" Kramer said to Laurent.
"Thank His Majesty, I only did as His Majesty commanded," Laurent replied.
"I'm just glad you are safe. Stay still and rest. We are safe now," Jack said to Kramer.
Grace came then. In her hands were a bunch of items. "You know, you shouldn't leave valuable loot like that. What if someone comes and snatches them?"
