Hundreds of Alpha Wyverns were rushing toward Liam.
Seeing this, Ezekiel shook his head. Then, while bracing himself, he asked in a low voice toward Liam, "Are you not going to ask me if I'll be okay on your back?"
Liam glanced at the man on top of his back in a split second.
But no, Ezekiel didn't understand what the man was trying to say to him at all. So he just ducked and closed his eyes tight as he felt Liam start with his super fast movements again.
BZZZZZZT!
"Oh... ohhh..." Ezekiel groaned, holding on tight to the fur of his back. He could feel his whole body being pushed down and squeezed by the air pressure. "AHH!"
Ezekiel had become stronger. That was no doubt the truth.
Since the previous war, he had become considerably stronger than all the <Aura Masters> in the continent, with only some exceptions. But, hanging on top o
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAA!"Ethan widened his eyes and turned toward Cecilia, who screamed at the top of her lungs.A black portal was opened behind Cecilia, and Ezekiel appeared behind the woman. His sword slashed into the woman's neck, but it was not too deep to cause her death instantly.Far in the back, Heinrich had stealthily opened his portal in that tree where Liam landed and opened another portal behind Cecilia.Ezekiel needed to stay at Liam's back because they wanted to pull this plan off.Ethan didn't have a chance to save her. The picture of her sliced-off neck was ingrained in his mind that he didn't realize Liam had arrived back behind him.GRRAAWRRAARR!!"GAAAH!"Liam ripped Ethan's body apart with his jaws and teeth as he was still in midair. His blood splattered down the ground as if it were raining blood.
"...do you...forget... that God is on our side...?"..."Y-y-you're going... to put a hex onto him?" Cecilia asked.After Andrius saved her and her brother in that white void, he told her that he would make some insurance if something unexpected happened."Yes, but he's not like you. He is not dead and doesn't have Ayja's third eye like you. So I won't be able to make use of his body directly unless he's dead."Cecilia opened her eyes wide. "Y-you mean... Necromancy?""Technically, letting him roam on the world after bringing him here is already Necromancy. But after he truly dies, I will be able to use him completely," Andrius said.And that was what Andrius did. He went out of his way, breaking another natural law to make his way to the world. He made sure to watch them closely, picking up the
"GAAAAAAAHKKKK!!!"Ezekiel refused to lose himself. His body was ablaze with blue flame, and he could no longer control himself."Come on! Fight it! You are a Dragon!" Heinrich held his body while Liam transformed into his human form and helped him."Hey, remember what I said about Gods? Don't fear him. We can fight."Liam stared straight into Ezekiel's bloodshot eyes, his hands holding both of his shoulders, but slowly, the man's blue sky hair started to turn white and grew longer and longer until it reached the ground.One of his blue eyes started to turn entirely black with windows of the galaxy inside.His pained expression slowly turned into a wicked smile. Liam narrowed his eyes as he saw the transformation taking place right in front of his eyes.The smile widened when the black eyes stared at him. Then, a voice that echoed around
"Your Grace! What's wrong?!" Heinrich could see how Liam was suddenly silent and seemed preoccupied with something else. Not only that, both of his eyes changed color to the Duchess' eye color.He turned his eyes back to his best friend, Ezekiel, who was still struggling and convulsing."What can I do? What should I do?!"Heinrich warped the mana around them. He created a vast magic circle of light and darkness.[Lumine - Sanctum Catena]![Aether - Nigrum Carcer]!Black bars of dark mana surrounded the three of them. And from Ezekiel's back, seven chains of light instantly bound his body tight. But he didn't stop with just that.Heinrich was going to cast another spell when Ezekiel turned to him. His eyes were black, and his smile twisted. Before Heinrich realized it, he had already thrown away far into one of the giant trees.&nbs
Harriet felt immense pain in her chest. Her knees felt weak, and she started to fall down to the floor. But Orcenal's arms held her tight."My child, I'm sorry," Orcenal whispered. "In order to balance this world, sacrifice is needed. But I will ensure that only I alone am enough to stop this."At the same time, in the midst of the battle, Heinrich tried to use his hand to draw a magic circle manually in the air. Using his visualization, he created a new technique to cast magic without naming it. But because of it, he had to drop Ayja's eyes in his hand to the ground.White flame of light started to reinforce the previous two spells Heinrich cast to hold Ezekiel's body.At the same time, Liam felt a burning energy inside him. He could feel the energy growing and swelling as Orcenal transferred his soul's essence through his connection with Harriet.Andrius was still shocked after
"Are we... enough?"Harriet felt her whole body burn with pain. It felt like her soul was being sucked out and drenched in acid. But she kept her consciousness.Her breath started to hitch when she suddenly heard a loud screech from the outside.KIEEEEEEEEEEEEK!She turned to the window, seeing another batch of wyvern army come to attack. And it was much... much bigger in size than before."Those... monsters..."Orcenal narrowed his eyes. Even if Harriet faced a harrowing experience of sacrificing herself... she was still aware of her surroundings."Harriet, you must focus," Orcenal said.Harriet turned back to her father and ignored the pain. She stood back up and walked toward the corridor balcony. She turned back to Orcenal, who looked at her in disbelief."Father, Almandine is the home I've al
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"Ezra used everything she had to cleanse Ezekiel's body from the serum's curse, balancing his own blood with Arun Kelev's blood inside the serum.She was not only neutralizing the curse but also strengthening Ezekiel's control in his own body with her holy power. As a result, Arun Kelev's... or Andrius' other half slowly dissipates from Ezekiel's body.Ezekiel finally managed to take over his body. He stopped himself from crushing Liam's open wound with his hands, and in his vision, Andrius started to fade away.There was a sad smile on the man's face. His eyes slowly closed as he disappeared completely.His body started to ease, and instantly, he felt incredibly powerful. His dragon blood had been strengthened, and his mind became clearer than ever. He turned to his side, where Ezra was still hugging him tightly.But something was weird.
Once upon a time, three gods lived alongside each other in relatively near space and time.The oldest of the three was the only female and the kindest and the most generous. While the other two were born almost at the same time from a single act of creation.The only woman of the three was Ayja, the Goddess of Creation. Then, the other two were the God of Space and the God of Time, Andrius and Anatoli.It was said that Ayja loved them both equally, but Andrius always knew that Ayja's love for Anatoli was a different kind of love."It's weird.""What's weird?" Andrius asked Ayja.On the edge of that vast lake reflecting their domain, Ayja sighed."Something inside me is weird."Andrius understood. He knew that Ayja was conflicted about her own feeling."What? You envied humans?" Andrius asked.
