LOGINOlivia’s POVThe Moon Heart Crystal suddenly flew toward the statue of the Moon Goddess, and the crescent mark on my forehead burned intensely.The entire sleeping city answered my call.Silver light burst from every palace, tower, and ancient statue, spreading across the city like a flowing river beneath the moon. The once silent streets came alive as though the forgotten city had awakened from an endless slumber.I slowly raised my hand and pointed toward the Abyssal Lords.A stream of silver light intertwined with golden radiance and countless mysterious energies shot from my fingertips, descending upon them like heavenly judgment.The moment the light enveloped them, my aura poured outward without restraint.The air grew unbearably heavy.Space itself seemed to freeze.The Abyssal Lords, who had moments earlier charged forward with overwhelming killing intent, suddenly stopped in their tracks.Their bodies trembled violently.The crimson hatred within their eyes slowly faded, repl
Olivia’s POVThe gigantic black hand descended toward the ancient tree with terrifying speed.Everywhere it passed, space fractured apart, and dark crimson flames devoured the air itself, reducing the silver light surrounding the courtyard into nothingness.“Take the fruit!” the Guardian’s voice boomed in my head.Without another thought, I shot toward the ancient tree.The Moon Heart Crystal exploded with brilliant silver light, circling me rapidly before rushing ahead.The Abyssal Void Fruit trembled violently on its branch.The instant my fingers wrapped around it, the entire tree shuddered.It was as though it had been waiting for this very moment.A dazzling silver light burst from its branches while endless darkness poured from the other half.The two opposing energies rushed into my palm.For one terrifying moment, I thought they would destroy each other.Instead, they merged together perfectly, forming a yin-yang vortex, and the fruit dissolved into countless streams of silver
Olivia POVLucy remained silent throughout.She neither stopped me nor tried to persuade me otherwise.She simply watched.The other Olivia stretched out her hand once more.“You deserve this,” she whispered softly.“Take it.”For a single heartbeat…I truly wanted to.After all…This was the life I had always dreamed of.A quiet home.Grandma beside me.A family.Peace.No bloodshed.No endless battles.No prophecy hanging over my head.No one expecting me to save a world that had never shown me kindness.My foot unconsciously moved forward.Then…A memory surfaced.Grandma’s hands.Rough from years of endless labour.The countless cracks upon her palms that never truly healed.Yet she never once complained.Even when food was scarce…She always smiled first before telling me she had already eaten, only for me to discover later that she had secretly gone to bed hungry.Not once.Not even during the hardest days of our lives.A warmth slowly spread through my chest.If Grandma were tr
Olivia POVThe skeletal hands tightened around my ankle with terrifying strength.Their touch was freezing—not the ordinary cold of winter.It was a bone-deep chill that seemed capable of freezing the soul itself with a single touch.More skeletal hands burst through the crystal-clear lake in their hundreds.Soon, they covered the entire surface of the water like a field of dead branches stretching desperately toward the sky.Their fingers clawed at my legs, my waist, and my arms, trying to drag me beneath the dark water.I swung my sword without hesitation.Slash!A silver sword intent erupted outward like a raging gale, scattering the skeletal hands in its path.Dozens of them shattered into black mist.Yet before the fragments had completely disappeared…New ones emerged.Twice as many as before.Lucy growled inside my mind.“They’re endless.”“They aren’t trying to kill you.”“They’re trying to make you surrender.”Her words made me frown as I desperately searched for a way to pas
Olivia POVThe deep growl continued rumbling beneath my feet.The entire courtyard shook violently.Ancient roots burst through the marble ground like giant serpents, tearing apart pathways that had remained untouched for countless ages.I immediately leaped backward.The Moon Heart Crystal flashed repeatedly as though warning me.Then…BOOM!The earth exploded.A colossal creature slowly rose from beneath the ancient tree.Chunks of stone and soil rained across the courtyard.Its body resembled a dragon, yet it possessed no wings.Its enormous frame was wrapped in black scales veined with silver light, while thick roots had grown around parts of its body like living armor.Ancient vines coiled around its limbs, while moss covered sections of its back.It looked less like a beast…And more like a mountain that had awakened from an endless slumber.Its golden eyes slowly opened.Each pupil resembled a crescent moon surrounded by endless darkness.An oppressive pressure crashed over me.
Olivia POVHours passed or perhaps days.Inside the city, time no longer seemed to exist and even if it does, I could not keep track of it.The water gradually became calm and violent pain slowly faded replaced my a comfortable warm feeling that almost felt intoxicating.My heartbeat steadied.The silver and golden lights dancing beneath my skin slowly receded until they disappeared completely.The countless ancient runes that had entered my body settled deep within my bones, as though they had always belonged there.A gentle warmth lingered in my chest like the soothing warmth of the spring.It felt alive.Lucy suddenly gasped.“Olivia…” she called.I could hear the disbelief in her voice.“What is it?” I asked suddenly alarmed.“Our blood. It has changed” she replied excitedly.Before I could ask another question, countless tiny streams of silver light emerged from every part of my body.They intertwined around me before condensing into the image of a crescent moon above the Sacred
