Chapter 1628 Spoiler Title
Boom!
An earth-shaking and powerful sound traveled across far reaches of the battlefield.
Something gigantic fell off the sky and crashed on the barren land with destructive momentum, creating a deep canyon
The valley created by the creature's fall was almost a mile long. The valley had steep sides measuring up to 500 meters in height. It looked like someone had put a scar on the ground that was visible even after 10,000 miles up the sky.
The steep sides of the valley were imbued in the Elemental Attainments of the creature as well as its opponent. Strange runes formed all across the valley before disappearing.
These magic runes seeped into the very core of the place. It was about time this place would start to subconsciously harness mana on its own and create a special environment around itself. A new ecosystem would be formed that would be completely different from the ones found in the normal habitat of Anfang.
One could say that another mysterious place had been created in Anfang, one that was quite similar to Monster Canyon.
The famous Monster Canyon of Anfang was created because of the fight between S-ranked entities. It was the reason behind the formation of the City of New Beginnings. However, this newly made canyon was created by the battle between two A-ranked entities.
And yet, in the future, this place was bound to become more mysterious than the existing Monster Canyon.
Incidentally, there was one thing common between both sites. The person who had been involved in the formation of the Monster Canyon was also involved in this newly made canyon.
However, in the past, that person had won the fight between them and their Titan competitors. The Monster Canyon was formed because the bodies of their Titan enemies fell to the ground one by one.
This newly formed magical site was formed because the person who had won the fight against a group of Titans had lost a fight this time, against a singular Titan. The Monster Canyon had birthed the City of New Beginnings in the past. However, this site would set the foundation for a place that would be called the Pride Breaker down the line.

Eliza's dragon form was seen lying at the far end of the canyon. Her true dragon body had been critically injured, posing a severe threat to her life. The slash wounds on her torso were so deep that it looked like her internal organs were about to spill out.
Her beastly form was taking haggard breaths, indicating the fact that she was indeed alive, if only barely. In the next moment, her Defensive Mana Layer vanished into thin air as her mana core ran out of mana.
Eliza's dragon transformation soon came undone. Within a few breaths, her form shrunk. Her naked and almost dying human form was made visible.
Eliza's green eyes stared at the sky above her, her face painted with emotions of sorrow and broken pride. She watched as the golden lightning lit up the whole sky. What came out from the clouds of mana was the figure of a single man who approached her using his draconic wings.
Eren had returned to his normal size as well after retracting the Titan transformation. He didn't look much better than Eliza. There were various wounds on his body as well, as if a ravenous beast had chomped on his flesh. There were clear bite wounds and missing pieces of flesh all over his limbs and torso. He was bleeding profusely through these wounds, making his form bloody and difficult to look at.
Eren landed a bit away from Eliza. This was because the wings on his back had disappeared, indicating the fact that his Hex Armor Set was beyond repair. Nobody could read his facial expressions at this point because his face had several claw marks over it, making it bloody and mangled. His left eye had almost popped out of its eye socket, giving him a hideous look.
Eren retracted his almost-destroyed Hex Artifact Set, undoing his dragonoid transformation. His naked form looked even more battered than Eliza's. However, for some reason, somehow, Eren was able to walk. His flesh had turned slime-like around his wounds, trying hard to fix itself up while expelling the Foreign Mana Invasion.
'Let… let me see if it works.'
Eren raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. However, nothing happened because he did not have the Life Force or Mana in him to support his Instant Reset Ability anymore.
"Kekekeke. I guess I am as beat as you," Eren managed to laugh sinisterly as he looked at Eliza. His expression then turned cold as he started walking towards her slowly but surely, dragging his left foot as if he had lost all sensation in his left leg.
Step. Step. Step.
Eliza could barely hear the sound of Eren's steps as he approached her. Even though she didn't want to, her eyes started shedding tears. As if she didn't want to face the reality she was subjected to.
"I… I should have killed you the first chance I…" Eliza was about to curse Eren as he stood above her, looking at her with his bloody emerald green eyes. However, before she could finish, her mouth was shut because Eren had rammed his right foot in her face.
Eliza's head was forcefully lodged deep inside the ground as Eren's foot slammed against it with pure physical force. His heel forcefully entered her mouth, breaking her teeth and dislocating her jaw.
"This… for all that you did to me. And all that you made me do," Eren said in a voice laced with suppressed anger. He then coughed a little to spill out his blood on her.
Eren bent down and picked up Eliza's left arm which he had almost severed from her torso. He screamed in rage and pulled with all his might.
"Come out! Come out! I!"
Eliza couldn't scream because Eren's heel was still lodged inside her mouth, preventing her from registering her pain through her pain-filled voice. She watched from the side as Eren managed to disjoin her arm from her torso, spilling more of her blood on and around her.
"And this is for Reen," Eren said calmly as he looked at Eliza's severed arm with nonchalant expressions and heavy breaths. He was about to throw the arm away and pull another of Eliza's limbs apart. However, he stopped midway in his action and looked at her arm in contemplation.
Eren smiled sinisterly at his opponent as he decided to use his bloodline Ability at this point. His arms morphed into a slime-like mass before it devoured Eliza's arm whole.
Eliza watched with fearful eyes as Eren devoured her arm. She watched with dread as he processed his "food" with closed eyes. When he opened his eyes, the butcher had a mocking glint as he pointed an index finger towards her.
A small green flame started dancing over the tip of Eren's index finger the next moment, burning away the tiny Spiritual Force he had. He then brought his face towards Eliza before speaking to her in a low voice.
"What… what do you say, Witch of the Enderflames? Up for another round?"
