Chapter Sixty-SixSoon, everything around me started to change. The house, the people, the furniture, everything in my eyes slowly changed. Everything no longer looked like what it was before.Slowly, everything around me started resembling an old television form before. The whole place turned into a three-dimensional space that was painted in black and white.My heartbeat which was beating unevenly calmed down. Following my heartbeat, my breathing became even and I felt all my emotions leaving my body.My whole point of view changed into a familiar background. As if it was deja vu, a familiar background yet I don't seem to remember what it was.I looked at where Zen was standing yet I didn't feel the need nor spare a chance to care about his condition. I no longer cared for Zen. I no longer cared for the heretic who was in the state of going crazy. I no longer cared about anything other than fulfilling my mission.I only had one goal.That is to kill the heretic who seems to know my
Chapter Sixty-Seven.I jump backwards multiple times before landing in a safe distance. I held my weapon on the other hand, and observed my arms and body.Sticky liquid that smells like rust and iron invaded my nostrils. Deep cuts could be seen but I didn't feel any pain.I was about to wipe the blood when in a flash, a silver sword was coming towards my face. A white glow emanated from its blade.-Woom!As if a bolt of lightning had descended, a bright light illuminated the room and a horizontal white streak of light appeared on my right side. I immediately rolled over before it hit me.Without letting me breath another sword passed through my left side, I tilted my head and twirl my scythe above me to deflect another annoying sword above me."You're pretty heartless do you know that?" He said as he slowly walked towards my direction playing with his greatsword."You just left your partner dying in my hands," he stated with a grin.I look at him blankly, "is that so?"I ready my hand
Chapter Sixty-Eight.I walked slowly and stopped right in front of Zen's bruised body. I squat and dispel the scythe on my hand.There's a lot of blood covering his face, especially on his nose and mouth. I lifted my hand and held it under his nose.Warm air brushed through my fingers.I nodded in satisfaction.Fortunately, he isn't dead yet. But anytime soon, he probably would. And we don't have much time now.My sight landed on the blessed sword not far away Zen, it was laying flat cold on the ground just like its holder."Over there, are you still there?" I asked as I stood up and walked over to the blessed sword.It too a few second before Droon answered, "un... I'm still alive..."I just ignored the slight displeased in his voice. I bent down and reached for the sword. "Can you heal him? We need to get out of here now. I don't want another headache from those Gardeners." I muttered as I raised the blessed sword.Droon snorted, "What do you want… me to do?… Heal someone?… did you
Chapter Sixty-Nine.Third Person's POVOk.Ok.Ok.Footsteps could be heard on the late night as shadows and moonlight dance across the mirror space.Thud.A soft thud could be heard as five silhouettes landed on the ground."What the hell happened here?"Under the dim moonlight, the man on front who was wearing a black windbreaker that was shorter than a coat, but longer than a jacket turned around to look at his colleagues.That silhouette was partially camouflaged in the darkness, bathing in the silver moonlight. That silhouette turned around slowly. His eyes are deep, gray, and cold."A battle." he simply answered.The man who has bright blue eyes could help but twitch his eyebrows at how dry the response was. If it wasn't for his friend he would have already smacked the heck out of the man's brain.The blue eyed man just shook his head and walked towards the laying cold corpse. He squats down like a frog before observing the corpse. Two more people wearing the same black windbrea
Chapter Seventy.Nina's POV“The southeast really is different.” my eyes reflected a new scenario. It was very different from the busy Capital, but the people and establishment almost looked the same.I saw a mother feeding her son a meal. It reminds me of my mother, my mom from earth.She loved being able to cook and bake meals for her loved ones - thrived on taking care of the children. It was our nature to only be able to produce one child and even that was difficult for them, so Mama and Papa felt very lucky when their little child came along. Then when mother and father's work asked them to transfer in the city, Grandma who of course disagreed immediately. It may be the nature of our family to only have one child, that maybe the reason why my grandma was so overprotective of me and my mother, to be a mother and she'd always wanted a large family."The atmosphere feels mixed up."That was what came out of my mouth based on what I saw out through the window. Rita seemed to understa
Chapter Seventy-One."Let's go inside." Marquess Bernardo offered and led us inside the mansion. We walked ahead as we made our way to the five story building. When a homeowner enters their home for the first time, they have to personally walk from the gate to the door of the residence. It symbolizes that this is our territory, my future territory.It was some sort of implication that the heiress is back, it was a subtle announcement that I will soon inherit this. And if I was honest, it made my heart tremble with joy and anxiety.I don't like the flow. Something didn't feel right but I couldn't see it, I would just be much more vigilant now. This wasn't necessary, but mother and father still did it.screeeech-The large iron gate with the black crow closed, and our figure started to disappear from the eyes of the outside wall.All of us silently walk on our way until father picks up a question in the road. "How was your trip?" he asked in a solemn voice.I almost flinched but held my
Chapter Seventy-Two.After taking another sip of my wine, I drop the glass and put it on the table. Breathing in for a second and two, and making sure no one was really around me.I immediately sat down on the bed and traced a circle in front of me. The dark space soon opened and revealed some things.I didn't look at or touch the sword, instead I took the papers at the bottom. Grabbing the yellowed stain papers, I arranged them and placed them above the queen size bed.I pick up the very first page near me."4th Month of Gold (March). Why are my friends so stupid? I've repeated myself so many times. Don't be fooled by those people from the magic tower! They are scamming us! Thinking that the key to fully control our mana and have our mana core strengthen is by forcing to manipulate the mana around us. Which is very stupid if I may say.The key thing about mana control is not about grasping them, but digesting them! It's nothing about tapping powers, but being one with our attribute!
Prologue. "Lady Marina?" a soft voice echoed from a distant room. Hmmm... A soft feminine voice echoed in my ears, it was truly lovely and soft like clouds. The voice was like a lullaby because instead of waking me up, it makes my eyelids heavier than ever. What is it? The sun hasn't risen yet, right? And besides, it's the weekend, isn't it? I don't have classes today! for Pete's sake! So please, let me sleep a little longer. I didn't realize that it was already dawn when I finished the novel I read last night. All I need is one thing; it is called peace. Instead of opening my heavy eyelids, I just ignore the voice and buried my face into the soft pillows as it was because it was too early. "Lady Marina!?" someone from the other side of the room called out again. What the heck!? It's too early and someone is bothering me again. Don't they know the saying, "Wake up the drunk, but not the one who's sleeping, or else you would taste eternal rest?" Cringed. I know that, but hey! W
