“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
Haa…haa…haa…A red glow lit up the hallway, as blood dripped onto the floor. Cecilia used her power to heal the deep wound on Ethan's shoulder.Not far in front of them, Ezekiel stood, unharmed.In the sky, with the Wyverns, perhaps Ethan and Cecilia had the advantage.But even so, a Sorcerer like them would have a hard time fighting a talented <Aura Master> like Ezekiel in a situation like this. Moreover, Ethan and Cecilia were unable to approach Ezekiel and use their Sorcery effectively.Ezekiel continued to use his ranged attacks and threw <Aura Blades> with his sword slashes.If this continued, however great Cecilia's healing powers were, Ethan would be exhausted and they would die. Cecilia started to wonder, was aiming for Ezekiel this time the right decision?It was true that Ezekiel was separated fr
The meadows.Cecilia was standing there alone.Ah. This was a dream—a long forgotten memory.This was the time when she first entered this world after dying for the first time.Cecilia always thought that her first life was a tragic one. She was born into an incredibly rich family that should have allowed her to get everything she wanted, but the Second World War took everything away.A weak woman like her who couldn't survive in such a world ended up committing suicide.And she ended up in here.She tried to move forward, past the tall weeds and flowers. She wondered, was this heaven or hell… was this really death… or would she be reborn?“Ah, a lost soul?”When Cecilia turned around, she saw a wide lake, with colourful flowers surrounding it. On the edge of the la
Cecilia was still too shocked to respond, but she also still didn't want to be reincarnated! In her panic, she began to think of a way to escape the cycle of reincarnation of the lowly world. She saw the eyeball next to Andrius's foot and ran towards it.And quickly, Cecilia grabbed it, and immediately put it in her mouth—swallowing it at once.GULP!She wanted to be a goddess!"Huh."Witnessing all of what she did as she swallowed the eye, Andrius didn't even try to stop her.Nervously, with her body shaking, Cecilia looked up. She saw the white-haired male being's cold gaze and felt a fear she had never felt before.“Ayja saved you, but you stole her eye.”W-would that male being kill her like he killed the female being?But, since he couldn't have the eye, he felt it wouldn't
“My first attempt 70 years ago was the only satisfactory one, where you managed to take the man's heart. But on this attempt, even after rewinding time 7 times, I still can't destroy him."The Great God usually never talk this much. Cecilia was surprised to hear the majestic figure speak several sentences at once."Why won't he just die?" murmured the God.“Y-you want to kill him?” Cecilia asked.The God turned to Cecilia. "Yes. While making him suffer. If possible, to the point of making him destroy the world, and make everyone hate him."Cecilia furrowed her brows. “W-why… do you want to see him suffer so much?”Cecilia's question was not immediately answered by him, but the Great God and his giant figure stood up, stepping into the empty white space where Cecilia was.Instantly, his single step in t
