Chapter 188: Heroine Encounter Invincible Wall
The crow was no ordinary creature—it was an ancient being, born in an era long before humans set foot in the Saint's Region. This land, now sacred and civilized, was once ruled by monstrous beasts and primal forces. Among the most feared creatures of that time was the Seven Divine Beast, and after Seven Divine Beast, it was Dark Crow, a predator that thrived on blood and chaos.
Sealed away by the first Saint, it had been locked in an eternal prison, waiting for its chance to break free.
The Dark Crow was a dark creature of legend, its body able to take many forms, but its true power lay in its insatiable hunger for blood. It needed blood to survive, and as long as it drank from the living, it would never die. The more blood it consumed, especially from powerful beings, the stronger it became.
But the power it gained from each feeding would diminish over time, like a flame slowly fading unless constantly rekindled. This insidious hunger meant that the Dark Crow was always hunting, always seeking stronger prey to stay at the peak of its strength.
Once freed from the ancient seal that had bound it for centuries, the Dark Crow found itself weakened. It needed blood to regain its former power. Desperate and cunning, the Dark Crow devised a plan to corrupt one of the most vital resources of the region—the water source.
By tainting the Water Source, it unleashed madness upon the sea monsters that inhabited the region's vast oceans. However before the creatures attack human settlements. Saint Maris destroyed the rampaging sea monsters, cleansing the corrupted water in the process.
The Dark Crow's scheme failed, and it was left weakened.
For a time, the Dark Crow remained hidden, stalking the shadows, waiting for another opportunity to regain its strength. Over time, it found ways to feast on the blood of other creatures, gradually regaining some of its lost power. When it felt strong enough, it set its sights on a larger target—the human cities.
Humans were plentiful, and their blood, especially that of the strong, would fuel its power for longer. He was successfully able to absorb the blood of human cirt but then encountered Saint Maris once more.
The Dark Crow knew from their first encounter that Saint Maris was no ordinary human. She was a Saint, blessed with divine powers that rivaled the ancient creatures of old. Her blood, the most pure and powerful of all, would give the Dark Crow unimaginable strength. With the blood of a Saint flowing through it, the Dark Crow would surpass its former glory, becoming an unstoppable force of nature.

It attacked Maris, confident that it could overpower her this time.
But even in its restored state, the Dark Crow could not defeat her. His strength and Maris strength was same, he couldn't defeat her. That's why he used his special move, Stand Eyes. Once he use this move, he will be blind for days, but this move can stop anything he saw for 10 seconds.
He saw Maris and she stopped but he didn't saw Marionette, otherwise, today he would be most powerful. Even more powerful than Seven Divine Beast. But he failed.
However, Dark Crow was not one to give up easily. It knew it was close—just a little more power, and it could claim Saint Maris's blood. That was when it sensed something in the north. A powerful presence, If the Dark Crow could absorb the blood of this being, it would finally be strong enough to face the Saint once more.
With that thought, the Dark Crow set its sights northward. It flew over the lands, its shadowy form blending with the night sky, determined to find the source of that power.
In the back of its mind, the Dark Crow imagined the taste of Maris's blood—the purest, most divine source of strength in existence. Soon, it thought. Soon, it would have the power to claim what it had long desired. All it needed was one more victory, one more feast, and the Dark Crow would rise as the apex predator of the Saint's Region.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Maris soared through the skies, her pink hair streaming behind her as she flew higher and higher, leaving the world below far behind. The blue sky soon gave way to clouds, but she did not stop. With each beat of her wings, she passed through the mist, ascending further into the endless expanse of the heavens.
There was no sound except for the wind rushing past her ears, no life, no land—just the infinite sky stretching on.
Higher and higher she went, her focus sharp, her power radiating . But then, suddenly, she felt it—something blocking her path. Maris halted abruptly, hovering in midair as her eyes scanned the space before her.
There, before her, was an invincible wall.
It was invisible to the eye, but its presence was undeniable. She reached out with her magic, touching the barrier, feeling the immense strength that radiated from it. No matter how she tried to peer through it, the wall was impenetrable. It was as if the heavens themselves had erected a gate, one that even she, a Saint, could not pass.
Maris narrowed her eyes, her hand glowing with divine light as she summoned her power. She would not be stopped by this. With a swift motion, she unleashed an attack—a beam of pure light magic that could have obliterated any fortress in her path.
But the wall remained.
The attack vanished into nothing, leaving the barrier untouched. Maris's eyes widened slightly, but she quickly composed herself. She tried again, sending another wave of magic crashing against the invisible wall. Then another. And another.
Nothing.
Her attacks, capable of destroying mountains, had no effect on the barrier before her. For the first time in a long while, Maris felt a flicker of uncertainty. What could this be? What was this wall that even her Saint powers could not breach?
She floated there, deep in thought, her expression tightening. This was no ordinary barrier. She needed more power—far more power than she currently wielded. She closed her eyes for a moment, her mind made up. There was only one option left.
With a deep breath, Maris reached within herself and unlocked the seal that bound her true power. The moment the seal broke, a surge of energy erupted from her body. Her aura, once contained at SSS Class Rank, skyrocketed, climbing rapidly until it reached the overwhelming level of Empire Class.
Her body pulsed with uncontrollable energy, her skin glowing with radiant light as the sheer force of her magic threatened to tear her apart from the inside. The air around her crackled with power, distorting and bending as the Empire-Class magic raged within her.
Maris gritted her teeth, struggling to keep the energy under control. Her strength had surpassed any mortal limitation, and now, it was like trying to contain the fury of a storm. She focused all of her willpower into directing the torrent of energy at the invincible wall, hoping that her newfound strength could break through where her previous attacks had failed.
Light exploded from her in waves, crashing against the invisible barrier like a relentless tidal wave. For two hours, Maris channeled every ounce of her power into the wall, attacking it with everything she had. Each blast was stronger than the last, capable of leveling kingdoms, wiping empire from the map.
But the wall did not even crack.
Maris hovered there, panting heavily as the light of her attacks finally faded into the air. Her eyes widened in disbelief, her heart pounding in her chest. No matter how much power she unleashed, no matter how violently she attacked, the barrier remained untouched. It stood there, unmoving, unbreakable.
She couldn't believe it. All that power, all that energy—enough to destroy an hundreds of empires—and yet, the invincible wall was still safe.
Her mind raced, confusion and shock clouding her thoughts. What was this wall? Why couldn't she destroy it?
