"In the early days after I left home, I always told myself that 'I am going to find a way for my grandson to recover'. But year after year… my failure to find a method that works for you is pushing me away from you.”
Liam was silent. His gaze became gloomy, and the light in his golden eyes dimmed slightly.
“And I don't know when… I started to give up. Until it makes me unable to face you and see your face even more."
The two of them stopped walking.
The woman slowly removed her hand from Liam's arm and looked up to see the face of her grandson who was taller than her.
“Liam… will you forgive Grandma?”
Alameida's green eyes stared straight at Liam. It took so long for Alameida to muster up her courage and express her guilt to her grandson whom she loves so much.
Her grandson… who had suff
Before everyone could react, Harriet chuckled and sang again.“Happy birthday, my dearI truly wish for all your dreams and desires to come trueand may you live to a 1000 years”The atmosphere turned cheerful. Harriet's sweet and cheerful voice made everyone smile and brought them back to their senses. Liam stepped closer and blew out the candles on the cake Harriet had brought.The man took the cake and put it on the table next to them and hugged Harriet tightly.“You surprised me… thank you, Madam,” he whispered.Harriet hugged Liam back, and she chuckled. “Oh, when I heard that His Grace and Her Grace were visiting, I knew right away that they were coming to celebrate your birthday…”Liam let go of his arms and looked down at Harriet's face looking up at him. “And how did you prepare al
Cecilia Wolfsbane, Cecilia Morganite and now, Celine Diamond.Cecilia had never felt the rejection of the body she was in, and when she sensed Celine's presence within her, she thought she had gone mad.No way… Celine was dead! She was the one who killed her with her own hands!This body was hers and hers alone. She doesn't want to share her place with another soul!Fucking god… why would he allow that woman's soul to invade HER body like this?“HUK—URK!”Die! Die! Die! Die!In her quiet room, one cold morning, Cecilia woke up because she felt like she was suffocating. She tried her best to catch her breath, but it felt too tight.As she tried to get up and see what had happened to hEr, in the mirror, she saw her own hands strangling her neck."ARK! GASP! GHAKH!"
“GRRK—AAAAAAARGH!” Cecilia opened her third eye. A golden light shone from the iris of her third eye and illuminated her room on that cold morning. Knock knock! "Celie?! You are okay? This is brother, open the door!" Cecilia glanced towards the door with bloodshot eyes. She didn't want Ethan to see her like this. She had to quickly fight whatever was trying to kill her. She started to use all her Holy Energy to strengthen her own soul, and little by little, she managed to take back her body. “Damn ghost… now feel it... the power of the Goddess I have…” Cecilia took a deep, careful breath. Her neck looked blue from the strangulation mark. She took another breath and healed herself. But now she was so angry. She was too angry to face Ethan now because she wouldn't be able to act sweetly in front of him.
“Your Highness! We found something!”Ezekiel looked back at the shout from one of his men. He turned and jumped off one of the slippery cliffs, landing right next to a large, suspicious-looking iron panel.The panel was hidden from view because it was in a generally inaccessible place, and was covered by so many rocks. From its shape, the panel looked more like an iron door that could only be opened from the inside.“Stay away, and tell the others to be careful. I'll try to open it."Ezekiel clenched one hand and pulled his elbow back to make the stance of destroying the iron panel.Blue light began to envelop his hand and—BOOM!CRACKLE!“Huh,” Ezekiel didn't expect the iron panel to not budge at all, and instead the surrounding rocks cracked. "There's a cavity underneath, I can fe
"Too bad. This is the best facility we have,” said Ethan quietly.Right now, he and Cecilia were running through one of the escape passages heading south.“Does Elder Brother have any other hiding places besides here?” asked Cecilia who was running behind him.“None this big, but the others are just as decent as this one. This time we will go to the area before the border between Diamond and Padparadscha. There, I have an acquaintance who will help us get into our other facilities.”Ethan's explanation made Cecilia furrow her brows. She wasn't happy.“But Brother, don't we want to repay them? We had to sacrifice our best base, so we have to take something from them. Why do we keep running?” she asked.Ethan looked back, seeing Cecilia's displeased expression.“Celie… we're not ready y
[Northern Border of the Central Hyacinth Kingdom]ZZIIIIIIING!CRACKLE CRACKLE—FLASH!Kirnon Lycoris flew to dodge the barrage of lightning that came from the giant magic circle in the sky.With Mana, he added his psychokinetic capacity and shot off at high speed, trying to penetrate the magic circle's walls to attack the man floating above it.He didn't expect that a Vampire Lord like him would have so much trouble against a young man who only had 6 Imaginary Circles. Was he actually not as strong as he imagined, or was today's youth really strong?Heinrich was floating in the sky, looking down with complete concentration. He trapped the Vampire Lord in the gigantic barrier with a barrage of lightning.Vampires were weak to fire and any fatal attacks on their hearts. And although lightning might be too overkil
Kirnon saw the figure of the man emerge from behind the dust. His smile was still wide and unchanged, but now his body was standing there naked—no.His body was not naked, but it looked 'raw'. The fibres of the flesh and the pieces of bone in his body regenerated so rapidly. And slowly, the man's skin emerged and covered the exposed layer of flesh.Heinrich's body was perfect again in a matter of seconds."Are you surprised? Well, of course," said Heinrich. He walked closer to Kirnon's head and looked down on him. "Have you ever heard of the Philosopher's Stone?"Kirnon widened his eyes. He thought Heinrich had the blood of a creature that could regenerate quickly like a werewolf. But the Philosopher's Stone?Answering Kirnon's question that he was asking himself, Heinrich stuck out his tongue and revealed a small gold gem on his tongue—which looked almost like a tong
[Two Days Ago]"What do you see?"Zaha blinked his eyes and awakened himself hearing Liam's question. He looked up and stared straight at him on the night of Liam's birthday. “Princess Padparadscha is facing against a giant Wyvern… and she…”He tried to explain to Liam about the vision he saw.Arai jumped into the sky, and in front of her, a giant Wyvern screamed with a loud screech. However, the Wyvern didn't pounce forward like it seemed the creature was going to do.Unexpectedly, the Wyvern instead used its tail to attack.And Arai's body which got pierced by its venomous tail… was flung far into the side of a steep cliff—falling into a ravine."Okay. Do you know when that will happen?” Liam asked quickly.As if lost in thought, Zaha shook his head. He tried to find clue
