CHAPTER 28 (PART 2): KILL THE HATRED

Amidst the silence of the chamber, Chief Gregor took a deep breath before he spoke. “Your father was a brave and wise king … genuinely loved by all his people.” “I was there in Crown Galacer when the Legion attacked eighteen years ago. The bloody war had dealt a devastating loss for the north … He fought, Arth … He fought in the front lines,” the Chief paused to give a sad smile, “Lucas told your father he’s supposed to hide and evacuate … but he refused. King Letholdus had chosen to become a hero … a true brave king as he defended the people of Glacia. He sent your mother, Queen Diana, who’d also been pregnant with you, away from the war as much as possible.” Arth just listened, his head down, looking at his bloody hands. He had to bite his lower lip to stop himself from crying again. “Terrowin had planned it all long before. He too

CHAPTER 29 (PART 1): THE ENCHANTED LIBRARY

 “Are you sure about this, Chief?” Arth had to ask as they strolled down the cobblestone road. It was midday and the snow was falling lightly. Arth was wearing his usual blue cloak while the Chief was on his brown winter coat. “Sure about what?” Chief Gregor raised an eyebrow as he turned to Arth. Both of them had their heads covered by their hood to avoid being noticed. “About meeting the village Chief … What if he will turn us over to the king? We are all wanted in the entire country of Glacia … are you not worried?” “Calm down, son. Magus Jade is an old friend of mine.” “Magus Jade?” The Chief nodded. “That is what we call him. He’s a retired Grand Mage from the capital many years ago. We’ve worked together during my time as a Grand Knight serving the crown. Have no worries

CHAPTER 29 (PART 2): THE ENCHANTED LIBRARY

 “Did the humans win?” “Yes. However, there had been no record of how the humans won, Arth. But most people believe that it had something to do with the three Power Crystals … given by the Adentus—” “Wait … Adentus?” Jade sighed. “They are the three Supreme Deities … the Three Pillars of Divinity … the Three Points of the Triangle … the ones who created our world before the Age of the Empyreal Gods.” “So they’re like the gods of the gods we have now?” “Yes,” Jade replied. “Now back to our subject … the Adentus gave the Power Crystals to the three countries surrounding Galadhor.” “Three countries?” Arth asked. “Is Glacia one of them?” Arth looked at the map. Galadhor

CHAPTER 30: THE COLD HILLS

 At the early break of dawn, hundreds and hundreds of knights had already occupied the streets, scurrying on houses after houses in the entire Lower Ring. The citizens must’ve been confused, wondering about what the knights were looking for, as they had been searching door to door ever since last night. “Search every basement … every attic! He must still be here hiding in the Lower Ring!” Kael heard the knight shouting from far a distance as he and Tristan hid in a narrow alley. “Do you really have to come with me to Cold Hills?” Tristan whispered beside him as they leaned on the wall. “Yes. The king will no doubt kill me if I am seen here in the capital,” Kael replied, and then his gaze dropped to the ground. “Besides, I want to forget all of this mess I’m in … and just go back to my village … the village where I

CHAPTER 31 (PART 1): STONE GLACIER RUINS

Before the Legion came to attack the north, Stone Glacier had been the home of the Aragon Family … the home of the frost dragons as well. It was once the wealthiest … most powerful city among all places in Glacia, as the mountains in its territory were rich in gemstones, sold at expensive prices for the making of arcane runes and jewels; rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and more. But it all came into ruins as the demons came out from the portal far north and brought chaos to the lands of Glacia. It wasn’t until the Legion had been forced to retreat to the Underworld that King Terrowin began establishing a base in Stone Glacier Ruins. But the only repair they’d been able to make were the walls … not the entirety of the city. That was all Arth could see as he finally glimpsed the high walls from the horizon. They had indeed fixed the walls, but the cracks and damages were still evident from one’s sharp eyes.&nbs

CHAPTER 31 (PART 2): STONE GLACIER RUINS

 ‘Is there even a limit to their numbers?’ Arth thought. He took a quick glance at Lucas and Chief Gregor, witnessing their killing spree with both impressive power and speed. But still, more knights were coming. As he looked back, he spotted Luna and Janshai still climbing the incredibly high walls. Luna was piercing her arrows through the wall to serve as their steps in going up. “You’re wide open!” Arth heard a dark voice from a knight behind, but he was quick enough to spin his body, swinging his ice-dagger at the enemy’s neck. Blood spurted instantly from its opened throat, before the body hit the ground. The snow fell continuously, as they’d been moving farther to the north. After seeing Robert slaughtering every knight on his way, as if he was dancing, Arth came to realize he’s losing … He needed to kill more. &l

CHAPTER 32 (PART 1): SLAY THE KING

 Reaching the top of the stairs, Arth finally stepped on the blue crystal floor. The place had a wide and open space, having no walls or roofs, only pillars on the edges. He wasn’t familiar of this temple, built between the Twin Mountains, but he could sense a familiar presence … a familiar energy … lurking nearby. Looking ahead, six tall obelisks had stood, forming a six-pointed star, with a glowing semi-spherical crystal at the center of the floor. “I knew you’d come here …” a voice spoke from one of the obelisks, “nephew …” Arth froze as Terrowin stepped out behind the obelisk, his blue cape dancing wildly from the cold blowing wind. “I know why you’d have to wait for me,” Arth said, glaring at the false king. “I know you can’t open the portal … so you need me just so you can get your unworthy hands on the

CHAPTER 32 (PART 2): SLAY THE KING

 “How …” Terrowin spoke, his mouth drowning with blood. “You … traitor …” He tried to stop the bleeding using his hands, while he hopelessly grasped for air. Lucas made no reply. He walked forward and then touched the ice that covered Arth’s body. “Divine Revocation,” Lucas cast. The ice cracked and then it broke, shattered into pieces. Arth hit the floor, breathing heavily while holding the wound in his gut. He gritted his teeth from the pain, panting hard. “Well done,” Lucas told Arth, before he turned back to face Terrowin. “Your eighteen years of wicked reign ends here.” Then he sliced the king’s neck, cutting his head off at a blink of an eye. Blood spurted from the sliced head, spreading on the blue floor. “Can you stand?” Janshai’s v

CHAPTER 33: BACK AT HOME

 “Cynthia Denvorn,” Kael immediately told the lady at the desk right after he and Tristan entered the Home for the Aged. “May I know your name, sir?” the lady asked, working on a parchment using a quill pen. “Kael Denvorn.” “And you are her … son?” “Grandson.” “Just a moment, sir.” The lady pulled one drawer open under her desk and then took a folder. She opened it, traced her finger on the list of names, and flipped through the pages. Then she stopped and put the folder on the desk. “I’m afraid she’s still having her meal. Can you wait for a moment? I’ll call you when they’ve already taken her back to her room.” The woman smiled as she gestured her hand towards the couches on the side of the lobby. Kael closed h

CHAPTER 34 (PART 1): THE CURSED KNIGHT

 “Watch out, boss!” Arth yelled. But before the claw of the dragon could strike, Lucas made a high jump to dodge. He waved his sword to land a quick slash, aiming at the beast’s head, but then it ducked and spun its enormous body, swinging its huge tail to strike him. Lucas couldn’t move, as he’s still on air, so he had no other choice but to block the tail with his arms crossed. The direct hit blasted Lucas away, slamming him against the stone wall, only to fall on the floor, coughing blood, leaving the wall cracked. Arth held his sword tighter. Despite its enormous size, Draphiron was undeniably fast. Even Arth himself couldn’t possibly react in time had he been in Lucas’ situation earlier.  “Why does it keep on attacking us?!” Arth shouted. No … Why would it keep on attacking only Lucas? Not Arth … or J
