Chapter 112: She Who Hated Red Moonlight
Last Updated:
2020-11-13 22:13:28...
A woman's shadow which was made apparent by her dress' shadow appeared inside a hall. The shadow appeared ominous as it stopped moving, seemingly to give way for the darkness of the night and the strange redness of the moon. Because of the angle, although she was only at the entrance, her figure seemed to have reached even the deepest part of the place. The dark shadow cast by the moonlight on the large dimly lit room could not appear more encompassing and frightening.
Yet its owner seemed to be not aware.
"Hmm... Quite the bleak atmosphere here..."
A feminine voice as calm as the sea in a peaceful days faintly echoed.
The words said referred to the site itself.
The head of the shadow moved alongside the waterfall-like shadow of her hair.
A couple of moments passed. Up above the clouds hiding the moon away slowly drifted past it. A sliver of moonlight passed through the red-colored glass to reveal the breat

..."I don't recommend you to leave." Dehlia said with an inexplicable look on her face. Ley could see that she was sincere and serious. Something bad would happen if he tried to leave the island. That was what her words just now implied.Ley pressed his lips into a thin line. In his mind, he was a bit conflicted... and annoyed. After all, he knew the woman had no malicious intention, yet. The reason she was preventing him from walking out of this house was probably because she believed that she was his shelter and shield against the unknown threat that normally would spell trouble or, even, demise to outsiders. Yet he was annoyed since if he was not brought here in the first place, but to a hospital, none of these would happen."Miss Dehlia, actually, I would have to tell you one thing." With a solemn look put on, he turned around to meet her in the eyes.This time, he was clear about the unusual care that showed in her eyes. Ley who wa

...'They should have reached the island on time, right?' He secretly wished, counting on the Goddess' blessings and protection.Although Ley had known Hana and Fernando for only so long, he had grown quite used to their presence already. A thread of karma already bound the three of them as members of House Hevel. He certainly wanted them to stay alive.Ley sped up his running pace, not paying attention to anything that would hinder him, including his wounds and internal injuries. Several minutes later, he finally arrived in the airport where he got separated from his group. He noticed that he still had half of his Gift's uses remaining despite traveling more than a hundred fifty miles. But like what was said earlier, mulling over this was not the priority.With no card or phone with him, he was forced to borrow a phone from a lady that just came out of the baggage area. Thankfully, the other was kind and pitied him for his wounded state

...It had been hours since Ley left Dehlia as if he was fleeing for dear life. The woman was still dumbfounded and could not believe that the young man she fancied and wanted to bind to herself turned out to be not an ordinary person. He was actually not a regular human being that she could trap in their island through marriage.How could he teleport out of a forest fairy's house? What kind of being did she try to entrap?Dehlia stared blankly at the door. She did not even notice when she got herself seated on the wooden sofa in the living room. Was she wrong for wanting to be with the guy she liked? Or was it her approach that was wrong? However, she did take care of him sincerely. Although he said that he could not stay due to an enemy, she could not help but feel empty. Dehlia's head was blank for a long while, until she realized that she committed a blunder due to her shortsightedness and stupidity.When her tribe leader arrived and

...On the island, the locals and the guests who were purposely not called to the welcoming of Ley were informed about his return an hour later. Rumors said that this head of the house was injured, which naturally made a lot worry. However, unlike the invited visitors who were anxious about the enemies of the House, the villagers were simply anxious about their Anito's wellbeing. The latter group never thought of their own safety since it was a no-brainer for them. Island Ophir as a domain under the protection of the Three Goddesses was one of the best sanctuaries on Earth. With this in mind, they had the time to worry about Ley himself. The villagers were sad and concerned about him, knowing he only became injured for defending the House when they were still outside the island.The chief of the island, one of the elderly people, led the villagers in praying to the Three Goddess for his sake, which was very nice of them.When Ley heard of this, he was stun

...There was still no news of Hana after an entire week. Ley and co never left the island since then. Not even the mortals were allowed to step foot outside the island due to Ley's extreme cautiousness. Until they heard from the Goddess who was not inhabiting Hana's body, he deemed it unsafe for them to join the bigger fights outside.To pass the time, Ley talked to the old man and as the Goddess had guessed, the matter he raised was about their severely lacking combat strength. He did not open up regarding his conjecture about why Anitos went after another Anitos. However, there was no need for Fernando to hear that in order to feel the urgency of their situation."The world of the Anitos is really not as peaceful as regular humans expect." The old man had said it already before, but he repeated these same words afternoon of Ley's return from the village. This was after he created the roads that aimed to improve the lives of the locals when it come

..."Thanks for the great work." Ley said with a nod full of approval to the old man.Earlier, he vanished to circle the island, confirming if those giant sea creatures controlled by Fernando surrounded and secured all sides.When he returned, in actuality, his gaze towards this person who just became his adoptive grandfather was mixed with apologies. He knew that in order to accomplish this feat, Fernando relinquished control of several other animals, which meant that more than half of the effort spent trying to build a reliable information network in the capital had gone to waste. The foundation of the information system was hurt, so was his source of faith energy since those countless tiny birds and land animals would naturally no longer have a strong belief in him. The freedom granted to these animals would gradually make them stray far away or forget about Fernando.As for the large creatures that replaced them... Ley could see thro

The Ascension Chapter 153: Actual Cause
"Once upon a time, it was known that the God of Fire, who was one of the oldest Anitos in the Skyworld, hated the Devils so much because these creatures' ruler, and if one might say, the greatest ruler in history, had killed his beloved wife, a demi-god who used to hold the Law of Harvest."A voice echoed in a small dark room that was being occupied by two people. Two men. One wearing a red cloak that appeared to be burning and flowing at the same time, like lava. The other was wearing a pure white knight garment that seemed to be from the medieval times. The face of the former was hidden by his cloak plus he was bowing a little so his features were not visible. As for the other, the knight appeared to be not afraid to be recognize hence he did not even wear a mask to this meeting. He had blonde hair and brown eyes, and fairly handsome. However, that face of his was not what people who knew a little about history would notice, but the insignia on his breastplate, a symb
The Ascension Chapter 152: A Visiting Knight
The Goddess actually had no use for the weak anito called Ley. Yet at the same time, she was not one to back out from her words. Although she sometimes do not play by Heaven's rule, she was one to demand equivalent exchange when needed. In other words, she was one who always upheld fairness.Her vow from almost a year ago was only to protect and provide guidance for Ley, the unknowing human whose fate had been severed completely from the Underworld due to her bet with Mayari. The young human forever lost the chance to reincarnate so as compensation, she used one of her quotas in ascending a being to godhood as compensation. She did the same to the old man who had been dragged to the mess. Of course, another questionable karma that she gained for doing these was causing Ley and Fernando to be rejected by the natural Laws since they did not become anitos through their own efforts. As another compensation, She decided to leave one of her mortal vessels there to act as thei
The Ascension Chapter 151: Condition
"Welcome back, Your Highness." Loud and clear, the voices of everyone else in the place echoed at the same time."We're most gladdened to be in Your Highness' presence again." They chorused.Ley slowly lifted his gaze up and saw that the person they greeted matched the appearance that was in his memories.A body of a girl in her late teens. Black hair that reached past her waist. Lean figure that was almost as skinny as some models in regular fashion shows. A face that was certainly above average, but not that excessive as to make one feel that she was the most beautiful in the world.Hana's figure appeared right above the statue depicting the Goddess of the Sun, a statue of a beautiful woman in a flowing dress crowned with a tiara shaped like the rays of the sun. The statue was massive and was in a giving pose, with her hands stretched outwards like it was offering the sun to the world. Hana appeared in those stretched out palms.
The Ascension Chapter 150: The Request
Time passed. In the mortal realm, a week had already gone by.Ley and Baram who had come to the western side of the globe to meet the Goddess was met with utmost care in their reception there. Ley had a hunch that the Goddess predicted that he would come here, either to give thanks or ask for Fernando's location so She left a message to the ones in the Blood Lake Castle to welcome them in.However, like Fernando who was made to wait for the Underworld god, they too, were made to wait for the return of the Goddess as she had long left before they arrived and the servants left there had no idea when she would drop by. These all brought endless frustrations to Ley. Yet he was not one with a close mind. He knew that the affairs of somebody high up like Hanan was not something that normal deities like him could imagine. Not to mention that Baram and the others in the castle already explained how serious of a matter an attempted Devil Sacrifice was.
The Ascension Chapter 149: Their First Meeting
"Home, huh?" The werehorse anito servicing under the Chief Deity of the Underworld, Sitan, was a bit absentminded as he recalled the conversation he just had with the human anito brought to the palace by his god. A few hours already passed since then. The werehorse anito had also just finished his duties and made sure that the entire palace was spotlessly clean and organize.The person he just spoke to was just a weak old human who possessed the Gift to command animals which was not really impressive as there were a few already who had the same ability, not to mention, those who hailed from the animal species had better control of those they could command.Nothing was interesting about the old human anito. Although he was silent about it, as he was one who was loyal to the Chief Deity and was extremely conscious not to question the deity's words, in his heart, he was actually wondering why His Highness became interested in Fernando to the point that he personally
The Ascension Chapter 148: Longing For Home
While the two immediately set off for another country, they had no idea that the very reason that they were doing so was not really in danger, unlike what they had been assuming all this time.Fernando was just really teleported to another place so that a proper conversation could take place between them without interruption. He was in good condition and was even invited to the best and grandest place in the Underworld, the Palace of Soul owned by none other than His Highness Sitan himself.As for the reason why? Who knows.The old man did not ask. After discovering the identity of the other, he became very silent, and careful with his words. Or rather, he would not dare ask the man his real purpose for doing this since like Ley to the presence of the angel, Fernando immediately became cautious and conscious of his own status as he had learned that the person was not merely a strong anito, but an actual Underworld god.'What are th

No fight actually took place. That was what Ley had heard from the Tree Deity. However, it was already said earlier. The person could forcefully teleport somebody over to another dimension or realm without leaving a trace that even he, Ley, the Road Deity, could peer into. This revealed that the abductor was of higher power level than him. Baram too said that he did not really dare to get close to the place as the man's aura was simply really intimidating. Oh, not really intimidating. But aloof, yet majestic. It reminded him of the lions that sometimes crossed his territory. The loftiness that was exuded by the man was intense, it could make others subconsciously bow to him.'What kind of being is that?'Ley could not help but wonder this after hearing all the flashy descriptions.His thoughts, that time, were very obvious.But to be fair, Baram himself could not believe that he felt like that towards a fellow Anito.After t
The Ascension Chapter 146: When It Is Broken
What was Sam looking for? Why was he sporting such a stressed expression?Ley stood a few meters behind Sam and noticed that the person's mouth was moving, yet no sound was reverberating in the place.Tilting his head sideward, Ley finally called him out, "Sam?"The butler was visibly startled, which showed on his face when he turned around and met Ley's gaze. "Young Master!" He shouted.However, no sound reached Ley's ears.It turned out that while Sam could hear Ley's footsteps and voice, the latter could not. Confusion flickered in Ley's eyes. This was a fact he realized after watching the movements of the butler's lips, which obviously mouthed his usual honorifics of him.Then when Sam dashed towards him, that was when he noticed that there was something different with the place around the butler. The butler managed to pass through him. Also, although subtle and almost unnoticeable, the area looked like a di
The Ascension Chapter 145: No Path
As a butler, Sam' service to House Hevel was extremely short and not worthy of a mention. Not even a year. However, since birth, he had been an extremely devout of the Three Goddesses, patrons of Island Ophir. Born to a fairly big clan in the village, one that had a history of producing elders and chiefs, he was one of the lucky ones given the qualifications to enter the palace at the summit of the mountain. But it took him several years to be promoted from a mere servant boy to an actual authority amongst servants, which he did through wits and perseverance, and he was very proud of what he had achieved.His clan's rule, or more like, motto was this, 'Always, for the Three Celestial Goddesses'.No matter how empty and cheerless the palace was, it would always be his joy to tend to it as a form of obeisance to the beloved Goddesses.What were his thoughts when he was suddenly assigned to serve three Anitos that had seemingly popped out of nowhere?W
