Chapter 81: The Evacuation

Lars and Vorpaltinger were riding on the Astral Express into Antares. Their mission was to evacuate everyone in the northern regions of La Shania Mirepa, and this made Lars anxious, being entrusted such large amount of lives to be responsible for. He kept fidgeting his feet and fiddled on his star necklace, seeking comfort from Alt'ma in his mind."You're good?" Vorpaltinger asked."Yeah, just... preparing myself."Lars threw Vorpaltinger a little smile, but instead replied with a sad look in her eyes, which was aptly suitable with the gloomy blue filter of Astral Realm. Lars quickly suspected what was it that she was going to say."I'm sorry about your brother. I heard about it from Mell a while back.""Thanks." Lars maintained his smile. "By the way, you don't have to feel like you owe anything to me. I know you did your best."Vorpaltinger was stunned to hear that. Lars had known about it for a while, that Vorpaltinger kept addressing Len's situation and went out of her

Chapter 82: Determination

At the end of the day, there were only so much people that could or willing to be evacuated. Lars watched the people entered the blue smoke entry to Astral Realm with the look of hesitation, suspicion, thankful, or somewhere in between. No matter how great their intentions were, it was only natural for people to be wary of them, so Lars forgive those looks.The ghost train of Astral Express was most people's first experience of supernatural transportation, so it was to be expected most of them looked around in awe. Some, on the other hand, was left feeling nauseous or too on guard to be impressed. Lars was told by Vorpaltinger earlier that astral energy could have debilitating effects for some people, but it was objectively better that than dying by rampaging alien creatures.During the train ride, Lars found Tirana sitting by herself. He gave her a smile. "Hey, Tir. How are you holding up?""I'm alright." Tirana stared off into the distance. "I... I met Margaret."Lars blinked

Chapter 83: The Still Sea

With the force field containing it, the sea around La Shania Mirepa turned eerily still. The waves no longer came ashore and so did the wind, leaving only stagnant salty air. As someone who liked beaches in the summer, this sad, unnatural scene broke Lars' heart to pieces.Lars gazed at the little black line in the horizon that was Piscium region and tried to remember how long has it been since his last visit there. He remembered its warm sandy beaches and shady palms, but he was too young when they had a vacation there, so he couldn't think of much else. Perhaps Len remembered more, he thought."Hey, when was the last time you go there?"Mell stopped his beer - chugging and scratched his beard, looking up. "I don't know, man. It's been ages, I think. Out of the twelve regions in La Shania Mirepa, only Piscium that I don't tamper with too much. I'm kinda lazy to cross over the sea."Lars nodded and hummed. He turned to Wilhelmina but she didn't answer, which he found odd as she

Chapter 84: The Black Thorns and the White Beast

When Lars arrived at Castor - Pollux, he saw Vayu stood at the sundial plaza on the peak of Librarium, watching as the sky darkened. The smokes blended in with the darkness, but the fires that caused them became only more prominent. Lars landed near Vayu and greeted him with a smile."Hey, how's the evacuation going?" Vayu asked."It went well. Mell and Wilhelmina are on their way here now with the depthdweller clans. I just went ahead because... you know, I can fly."Vayu chuckled. "Did we got all of them? Coral Coven, Slicerfin and such?"Lars lost his smile as he shook his head. "There aren't many who can go with us on the land, and they've lost a great number of their clan members already.""Oh... well, I guess that should be expected.""How about here? How's the fortification thing going?""We haven't even started, bud. We're waiting until all the Alliance is here."Lars didn't want to look stupid so he just nodded along, pretending he knew why. During the discussi

Chapter 85: Till The End of Times

It was only after things truly settled down that Lars could take a more casual stroll to appreciate the wonder that was Librarium of Records. For the past two days, he had been busy with the evacuation and didn't have time to unwind. Although, he actually still didn't, as the battle will soon to commence and he was running out of time.In his spare time, Lars often haunted the spiraling corridors of the Librarium. The records were kept in runes all over the walls and to access them required aether energy tuning of a Scion. Vayu had kindly taught Lars how to did that and since then, he began his tireless journey of scouring the records to undone Len's condition.Lars touched a white rune symbol on the wall and it lit up, flooding his brain with words and information. He didn't fancy the numbing feeling it caused, but he tolerated it for Len's sake. He had looked through almost everything regarding the Silver Devils - or VEIL in VERSE - and learned more than necessary about nearly ov

Chapter 86: Dawn of War

The sky was still dark when they left Librarium, and the air was bitingly cold, too cold for summer. It made Lars wondered whether it was an ill omen, but he put that thought away as quickly as it appeared. He looked over behind and he reminded himself that he wasn't alone and it will be alright. He watched as the Alliance marched towards the impending battle against the Sovereigns under the guise of early dawn.Lars was in the sky, standing on top of floating red poppy platform. Rachelia navigated its flight as she enjoyed her prim and proper breakfast, served by Wilhelmina. On the other side, Mell and Vayu played some poker instead. Lars couldn't believe in tense moment like that, they could still act so casual like they were heading for a picnic, not a war."You guys are really something else," Lars muttered.Rachelia made a slight chuckle, apparently hearing Lars. "It's good to lighten up first and clear your head of unnecessary worries, you know?""Yeah, we know who we're

Chapter 87: An Alchemist's Revenge

Tirana felt bad for abandoning her assigned post to guard the Librarium, but this must be done. She will not know peace if she let this chance slipped away, so she packed up her deadliest potions and everything she needed in her sling bag, then took off the second the Alliance walked away. Her grip on Mist Lotus tightened as she flew higher towards the morning clouds."Are you sure about this?" Vorpaltinger asked. This was the third time she asked this."Yes, absolutely." Tirana turned to the flying therianthrope who carried her, and smiled. "Thank you for doing this for me.""You're welcome. I'd like to get in on some action myself."And for that, Tirana was grateful. She saw a hint of objection in Vorpaltinger's eyes when she was assigned guarding the Librarium so it only took a quick persuasion to get the proud warrior's help. There were still people evacuated from Castor - Pollux needing the Alliance's protection, so they needed someone to hold the fort. Vorpaltinger appare

Chapter 88: Colorless Carnage

The Chimeras filled the skies of Regulus, so much that it looked like silver storm was happening. Vayu despised this color with every fiber of his beings and he was determined to bring back the colors of the skies. His flames burned hotter and brighter in every blasts.Vayu had transformed to many gigantic mythical beasts to find out which form was most effective dealing with this swarm of Chimeras. If his body was too large, he left himself open for receiving more attacks despite the huge boost of strength, so he returned to his human form. He wanted to conserve his energy because he couldn't let loose just yet.The Heavensbloom fairies who fought by Vayu's side were evidently overwhelmed. One by one, their formation was nipped by the edges, scrambled or fallen somewhere. If Vayu had his way, he would've send them away from the first place but to command such thing to a clan of warriors would definitely be insulting.Roxanne flew to Vayu, panting and full of raw scrapes. "Fox, w

Chapter 89: Sculptor of Destruction

Mell saw a tower of rainbow flames erupted in the distance, and he just knew something bad happened to Flare Fox. He had been enjoying himself fighting against the humongous Prime Chimera Varanus, but if something triggered Flare Fox to such extent, nothing good could come out of it.Varanus, who was by then had turned so large his shoulders brushed the top of most buildings, rampaged across the streets and swatting away every manmade structures he came across. Mell kept landing his blows with Balor but nothing seemed to get through Varanus' thick skin.Mell raised his hand, created a gigantic stalagmite and extended it to spear Varanus' chest. The lizardman hold the incoming stalagmite with both hands, growling while he was at it. This was what Mell counted for and he struck Balor to the ground, shattering the ground and the crack traveled underneath Varanus' feet.In a loud crumbling noise of destruction, Varanus stumbled to a pit Mell created. Though it was roughly tens of met

Chapter 90: Smile and Desire

The silver scaled young man felt several tremors happening throughout Rasalhague Castle. He had heard the call of arms that sent his siblings into the battle on the surface, along with army of Heavenbeasts. However, he wasn't allowed to join them. Not yet, the Chancellor Magnus said.Therefore, the silver scaled young man waited, deep underground where a strange machinery was erected. It was shaped like a serpent coiling over a silver crystal, its glow was steady and calming. The silver scaled young man didn't know what that was, but he was told to guard it and that it was important."What is going on up there?" he asked.The guard who was assigned with him turned. "We've launched the Chronica Phase, my Prince. The enemies are most certainly annihilated by now."The silver scaled young man hummed. "Don't be too sure."There was someone lurking in the hallways above. The silver scaled young man looked up, and with his innate Gift to sense through walls laced with Holy Silver,
