Laying inside the exquisite box was a silver object which was crafted meticulously by Arthur. It is by far the best weapon he ever crafted, at least compared to the ones he handed to Anastassia and the rest.

It was a medium-sized silver revolver, it looked no different than normal ones on Earth except the materials it was made from. The silver material was actually a special crafting material found in cold and hidden places. It is called Silk Moon Silver and it is very resistant to all types of elements, including the special ones.

Unfortunately, Arthur only found a small chunk barely enough to craft this revolver. After numerous attempts using other materials, various tests conducted after the completed test objects, he was able to create this masterpiece, which resulted in earning three skill points.

When he created the Heavenly Arrow, he was only able to gain one skill point yet this revolver gave him three so this shows how unique this weapon is. When he was drawing the blueprints of this revolver, Arthur remembered the secret weapon of the academy, 'judgment', it has terrifying destructive power, he tried applying it on the revolver while also trying to make it shot instantaneously instead of taking some time like the magical cannon that belonged to Sonia.

Furthermore, he tweaked a little bit so it could become highly compatible with his wife, Lucy. Coupled with the Silk Moon Silver, he also inscribed two small formations. They were supportive formations, nonetheless, their efficiency could not be denied.

The first was called [Ice Breath], it boosted the damage done by the bullets shot by the revolver and increases the affinity of the user to the Ice attribute.

He couldn't wield Yin Power like Lucy so he used Ice instead since he had the [High-Mastery] for this attribute. The second one was [Fire Breath], it has the same effect as the first one and normally, these two formations would oppose each other, however, Lucy managed to do the impossible and was able to fuse these two together although not to the perfection stage, so adding these two formations to the power of the revolver, Arthur was sure that it'll become a monstrous weapon in her hands.

She would definitely be able to unleash its full power, as for him, he can barely use fifty percent of its true power, unfortunately.

The revolver was only the beginning, next to it laid several bullets with varied shape and colors. There were red bullets, black bullets, and even blue bullets. Each matched to an attribute and to craft these bullets, it required Arthur four whole months inside the ARK.

They were not just simple bullets, what's inside them is much more complicated than what the naked eye could see. Just like he built the revolver to be similar to Judgment, the bullets where the same, they resembled the skill [Rizaki], each containing a compressed kind of attribute.

Even shooting one with his own hand would result in devastating destruction so if he were to use the revolver, which was built to match these bullets and boost their power then the outcome would be unimaginable.

Arthur restrained himself from using such a trump card first because he wanted Lucy to use it first as it was hers, to begin with. Secondly was due to the cost of using such a weapon.

This revolver, also named 'Lonely Moon', was built in a way that only Lucy could use it, no one but her is able to use it, even the creator himself, Arthur, is not an exception. He has Makaze and Lucy doesn't have any trump cards so this revolver was going to act as a life-saving object, it is also a gift from a husband to his wife.

The only reason he can use it right now is thanks to his high-sky stats, however, even with such cheat stats, he's bound to suffer a big backlash. The rebound is almost fatal and the materials aren't compatible with his powers, the only things allowing him to use it is the small fire formation.

Arthur didn't waste time staring at the revolver, he picked it up and hastily put a red bullet inside then focused his attention on the four Divine Beast, which seemed about to attack at any given second.

Using his eyes, Arthur was able to see a formless energy whirlpool appear above the beasts, moreover, the scales on the turtle's back began shaking and then a few them shot out from straight at him with lightning speed.

He unhesitantly raised his remaining hand which was holding Lonely Moon and surprisingly aimed at the sky and fired. As he pushed the trigger, a loud sound rang in his ears which was followed by three small red circles appearing in front of the tip of the revolver. The three red circle with spinning slowly with the one closest to the weapon being the smallest and the furthest being the biggest.

'BANG!'

Veins popped from his already devastated hand, his arm trembled and blood gushed out unceasingly, his body was even sent flying back for a hundred meters before he was able to stabilize it.

The bullets he crafted were different in power and attribute. For example, the one he shot was a 3rd-grade bullet which is why three circles appeared.

In total, Arthur crafted sixteen bullets, two of them were 5th-grade, three were 4th-grade, eight 3rd-grade and three 2nd-grade. The higher the grade, the more powerful the bullet.

Obviously, the more powerful the bullet, the higher the requirements, as he is right now, Arthur cannot even use a 4th-grade bullet, much less a 5th-grade.

However, although he only used a 3rd-grade, he was certain that it'll injure the four Divine Beast, no matter how tough their defense is. After all, this revolver is his greatest masterpiece, a weapon meant to erase Gods and slay Sovereigns!

The scales didn't even get time to get close to Arthur before an explosion that was far louder than Rizaki or the Dragon Breath resounded on all the Human Continent.

All the living beings on Astria heard this ear-deafening explosion which was accompanied by a sea of red flames that covered the whole sky, scattering all the clouds and falling down on the Divine Beasts.

.....

In a calm and beautiful courtyard where there's a small river and blooming beautiful flowers, Arthur sat on the grass with a smile on his face as he stared at Lucy, who was squatting in a corner of the courtyard devoid of the colorful flowers all around.

The corner was a bit gloomy and despite the absence of the flowers and roses which decorated this place, that corner had a certain charm in it as there was a beautiful red rose that was growing alone there.

Lucy stroked the rose as she hummed with a happy tone, her face didn't have the usual indifference and coldness and instead, she had a breathtaking smile as she admired this rose.

"You seem to like this rose very much."

The silver-haired woman turned her head to look at him and nodded while saying

"En! This rose is my favorite out of all of them. It's called 'The Chrysler Imperial Rose', it grows in remote places where there is very little life, it is fascinating how it grows alone where there is no one to accompany it yet ends up this breath-taking. To still stand up when it's alone and bloom beautifully like this..."

She became absent-minded as she gently stroked the red rose, she seemed to be mesmerized by the roses. Arthur already knows about her love for flowers so he always tries his best to decorate their home with every flower she loves using the Nature Magic.

"If you want, I can grow more for you."

Hearing him, Lucy shook her head and walked up to him, she snuggled in his arms and embraced him tightly while saying

"It's sad for it to grow alone like this, cast out... but I think that's what makes it special, what makes it stand out from everything else."

Arthur didn't reply, he hugged her back and remained silent, enjoying this peaceful moment with her...

.....

This type of red bullet was meant for that moment, back when everything peaceful and the days were calm without any danger.

He coughed up a large mouthful of blood then stared at where the Divine Beasts only to see nothing. He knew they were injured but it'll be far-fetched to think they're already dead even after this attack.

He raised his head to look at the bright sky, where an enormous blooming red rose made up of flames could be seen.

He could only see a tip of it as its size was simply too big for him to see it all. The sun rays couldn't penetrate through the blooming rose which covered half of the continent.

The Human Continent was no more as the fire scorched every corner of it, incinerating cities, villages, and mountains, leaving not a single being alive, it has already become a black burnt land where no man could live on.

A Blooming rose, was it needed
