Chapter 112: She Who Hated Red Moonlight
...
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

The Ascension Chapter 114: Emotional
..."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
The Ascension Chapter 115: Where is Hana?
...'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
The Ascension Chapter 116: Prayers (1)
...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
The Ascension Chapter 117: Prayers (2)
...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
The Ascension Chapter 118: The Changes
...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
The Ascension Chapter 119: Turbulent Times
..."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
