I Was Reborn in Another World, But I Awoke Inside a Corpse

Chapter 192: The Last Desperation

The battle chamber lay in ruins—fractured stone, scorched glyphs, the fading heat of violence still lingering in the air. At the center knelt the Sovereign of Craving, his once-elegant form battered and trembling. Dozens of phantom blades remained impaled in the ground around him like the teeth of some mechanical god. His robes hung in tatters, and every breath he drew was ragged, defiant.

Across from him, Isaac stood utterly still.

Unmarked. Untouched. Unshaken.

The glow of the [Phantom Legion – Rank EX] faded behind his shoulders, hovering quietly in formation like an army that no longer needed to be unleashed. Asmodeus stood behind him, her gaze narrowed, her expression tight with concern—but Isaac radiated nothing but calm.

"I told you it was over," Isaac said softly, his voice low enough that it felt like a closing bell. "You don't need to do anything else."

But the Sovereign lifted his face—blood trailing from the corner of his mouth—and laughed. It was a brittle, hollow sound. A laugh cracked in half by humiliation.

"You think this ends with your stillness?" the Sovereign growled. "You think… my silence means defeat?"

Isaac's gaze sharpened. "What are you planning?"

And then he felt it.

A surge—not outward, but inward. A spiraling, soul-deep pulse from beneath the earth. The remains of the original seal began to glow, not with warning, but with collapse. The glyphs etched into the stone started turning black and red, curling like dying veins.

Asmodeus gasped. "He's collapsing the seal! He's not trying to escape—he's trying to take everything with him!"

The Sovereign lifted both arms, skin cracking, light pouring from within. "If I cannot rise again… I will leave nothing behind. Not you. Not her. Not this city above. Nothing!"

Asmodeus turned to Isaac with a flicker of panic in her voice. "You can't stop that—there's no time to contain a blast of that magnitude!"

Isaac didn't speak.

He didn't argue.

He opened his interface—his thoughts turning sharply, decisively.

"I'm not going to stop it," he said. "I'm going to move the kingdom."

His finger hovered over the system interface. The skill he needed was already there.

[Teleport – Rank S].

It wasn't enough.

Not for this.

But he had something else.

He opened his pending skill selection list—seven unchosen EX-rank skills still available to him. He scanned the names, found one that seemed flashy but functionally useless for his current arsenal.

"Too specialized," he muttered.

He selected it.

And sacrificed it.

He lifted his hand. The ground answered.

The entire spiritual foundation of Lilyshade responded like a limb. Threads of soulbinding connected every building, road, and rune back to him—not as their ruler, but as the soulbound protector.

Executing… now.

—

Above them, the skies of Lilyshade shimmered.

Every stone of the city. Every soul within. Every trace of history that Asmodeus had built—vanished.

Not to destruction.

To safety.

To Emberlight.

To Isaac.

—

Far beneath the surface, the Sovereign screamed.

Cracks tore through his body like thunder splitting stone. The collapse ritual reached its crescendo, the power pulsing in on itself. He raised his head for one last defiant cry—only to find no witnesses remained.

He was alone.

And the seal detonated.

The explosion tore through the underworld with a soundless scream. Rock vaporized. Spiritual pressure slammed through tunnels. The earth collapsed inward, forming a massive chasm where once an empire had stood.

And not a single soul died.

—

Within the skies of Emberlight, a city shimmered into place.

Lilyshade stood intact.

Beneath golden clouds and a sky painted by soulfire and starlight, its people stirred. Safe. Unharmed.

Isaac stood on the overlook, watching it all settle.

Asmodeus stood beside him in silence, her eyes scanning the horizon of her home—now relocated into a world bound to Isaac's soul.

She turned to him, slowly.

"You moved my entire kingdom."

"I had to," he said. "I wasn't going to lose any of it. Not you. Not them."

She stepped closer.

And wrapped her arms around him.

"You didn't just save my home," she whispered. "You became its sanctuary."

Isaac held her close.

And for a moment, even the stars in Emberlight seemed to pause.
