A rare magical miracle in the world

Perhaps it was a mutual respect between heroes, for the Yatun Clan worshiped the valiant, and Lyon, especially favored those strong enough to sacrifice themselves for their comrades.

Seconds and minutes passed, yet neither Tulip nor Lyon made a move.

"What a pity, our stances are just too different."

Lyon could sense that General Winter had finished his fight, and the Thorn Army was in retreat, clearly Mei Xiang and Xia Yan's orders had been successfully conveyed.

"Boom!!"

The Rainbow Bridge soared into the sky, the power of Xia Yan, and Bailuo did not stop it, clearly acquiescing to the retreat of the Thorn Army.

Count Thorn had tens of thousands of troops, and those here were just the tip of the iceberg.

Even if these men were killed, once peace returned, Count Thorn would be able to replenish his forces immediately, rendering it meaningless.

On the contrary, it could even become a talking point for others.

After all, sending a Miracle Entity to invade a small city was already too much, and to slaughter everyone to the last would impact the future diplomacy of the Yatun Duchy severely.

Bailuo didn't want to fall out with the just and kind Masters of Miracles just yet, so he decided to let it be.

Of course, this was also a trade.

Bailuo wanted to kill a person, just him, Bailuo would never let the tiger return to the mountain.

"The war is over."

Lyon looked at the Tulip in front of him, her strength nearly spent; in at most half a minute, Tulip's Law Incarnation would end, and by then, she would disintegrate into ash.

"That's enough, impressive big sister."

Lyon chose to honor her: "Disengage from Law Incarnation."

"You are a hero."

Lyon did not wish for Tulip to die without a proper burial: "Rose."

At the very least, he wanted to leave her with a whole body, as Lyon's final mark of respect for this mighty warrior.

"..."

Tulip felt somewhat ashamed for reasons unknown; she touched her forehead helplessly: "My name is Tulip, do you look down on me or something?"

We have fought for so long, and you can't even get my name right?!

However, Tulip still chose to disengage from Law Incarnation.

"Ah!!"

At that moment, Tulip felt a sharp pain all over, and the woman knelt on both knees, pressing her hands against her chest hard.

Cold sweat instantly soaked Tulip's clothes, making her appear as if she had been fished out of water.

Moreover, Tulip found she could no longer sense even a trace of Miracle Power.

"So this is the price."

Lyon would naturally not deceive Tulip; if a King could not keep his promise to a commoner, he would never go far in life, too small-minded.

"You're spent."

The King's Second Awakening comes with a hefty price.

If sustained until the last moment, their bodies would collapse and then disintegrate.

Even if they exited early, they would end up damaging their own foundations, possibly even becoming invalids, just like Tulip.

What does that mean?

Tulip was no longer a King; she had fallen to the level of an ordinary Miracle Citizen, not even on par with the Fox Women who came to Yatun originally.

What's more, with her talent, it was impossible for her to make another breakthrough in her lifetime, thoroughly finished.

"I... I have no regrets."

Tulip, extremely weak, still gathered her courage to look directly at Lyon: "Soldiers are meant to die on the battlefield; it's an honor, and to die at the hands of a Miracle Entity like you is my privilege."

If Tulip had regrets, she would not have triggered the Second Awakening.

"Your Majesty, shall I kill her?"

Lyon hesitated, because Bailuo had not given him the order.

"Bailuo, are you letting me make the decision?"

If Bailuo had ordered to kill Tulip, Lyon would have acted immediately; he was the kind of soldier who would kill even the weak and the old for an order.

Yet this time, it seemed like a test.

Lyon had already obtained the Miracle; he lacked not power but the right mentality.

"Why don't you strike?"

Logically speaking, Tulip was already spent, making her no different from women and children.

If it were a powerful warrior, even a woman, Lyon wouldn't hesitate to slay her.

Yet Tulip in her current state touched a nerve for Lyon.

As a Miracle Entity, Lyon was very clear that Tulip could not recover, and all sorts of divine treasures like Ginseng Fruit would be utterly useless.

Put simply, Tulip was destined to be classed among the weak and elderly for the rest of her life.

She would never set foot on a battlefield again.

"Enough."

Lyon could not make a decision, but nor could he let Tulip go easily, so he decided to leave the choice to Tulip.

"I'll give you a chance."

Lyon: "Just say you are a woman, and swear you will never enter the battlefield again, and I can let you go."

"What a joke!!!"

Tulip roared, coughing up a bit of blood from the exertion: "I am a soldier, the Marshal of the Kingdom under Count Thorn! I would rather die than suffer your humiliation!"

"Is that so..."

Lyon also felt his words were an insult.

Putting himself in her shoes, if it were his sister Sheila, or the gang leader Gonnia in Tulip's place, they likely would not cling to life either.

"I spoke out of turn."

Lyon corrected his tone: "I am Lyon; rest assured, I will remember you for a lifetime, a general who did not hesitate to sacrifice herself to save her comrades."

Tulip was not unafraid of death; facing Lyon's claws, the fear of death made her breathing more rapid.

"What is my name?!"

Yet her final words caused Lyon to pause in contemplation.

"Tulip!"

This time, Lyon was not joking: "Your name is, Tulip..."

"Thank you."

Tulip's body trembled, but she had no regrets as she closed her eyes, quietly awaiting the arrival of death.
