Semua Bab Revenge of the Night: Bab 1681 - Bab 1690

The moment Aphrodite's phantom 'professed her love,' Jasper and Awesome's jaws slackened. 'What the fuck?' they thought.After Aphrodite left her message, the scenes disappeared. Nox remained standing in his spot, cold and furious. The bloodlust that shot up into the skies was scaring his friends. They kept their mouths shut, too scared to even ask anything. All they could do was look at Nox.A long while later, Nox said coldly, "I'll kill you one day, Aphrodite." He waved his hand, and golden flames rained on the old man's corpse, burning it into nothingness."Boss.""Nox…"Awesome and Jasper carefully asked, "Are you alright?"Inscrutably, Nox answered, "Yes." The bloodlust was slowly subsiding.Feeling that, Jasper quietly asked, "Who's that woman in the old man's memories? Why did she profess her love to you?"Awesome huddled closer. "Yeah, and she's hot."Nox looked at the manor icily. "That woman is Aphrodite Mousse. She's Jacques' granddaughter.""Aphrodite?" Awesome m

"I think so. Nightingale wouldn't have saved that monk otherwise, nor would he have killed Moste Magicke's successor," said Pavilion of Regality's elder.The sects' people fell silent. Shatterheart looked worried. "If Magic Mountain is indeed siding with Lord Nox, things will become difficult. Their Flying Sword is peerless, after all."Homer said angrily, "They might be strong, but we are no pushovers either! He killed our successor, and I demand an explanation, or this means war!"The other sects said nothing. Calling for war against Magic Mountain could be disastrous. Sword Sect had always been the most mysterious and terrifying sect of all. That place was on par with Mystia.Shatterheart looked at Jacques. "What do you think, Mr. Mousse?"Everyone looked at Jacques. He smiled. "The six sects should be united in defending the sects' dignity. If Magic Mountain does stand with Lord Nox, then I'm afraid a war is coming.""So, you wish for us to fight Magic Mountain?" Shatterheart

The House of Enlightenment's members seemed unreceptive toward Venom, so Jacques stepped in. "Calm down, Master Shatterheart. These people are here to help the Three Great Powers. You don't want us to crumble, do you?"Shatterheart fell silent. Though he did not want to work with Venom, the thought of Awesome and Jasper's overwhelming strength and the prospect of facing them again made him relent.Moste Magicke's and Pavilion of Regality's people chimed in as well. "Master Shatterheart, please work with Mr. Mousse this time for the sects' sake."In the end, the monks relented and said nothing more. Now that everyone was silent, Jacques smiled. "I'm sure you've heard of these two as well. This is Slaughter, and the lady is the Jade Countenance Foxy, Astrid Bellini."What?" The sects' people were shocked once again. Just like Venom, these two were famous many years ago. Astrid, especially, made a name for herself twenty years ago. She was also called the Tricksterfox.Astrid even de

Looking at Awesome's sorrowful and lonely expression, Jasper strolled over."Hey, monk, what's up?" Jasper asked playfully.Hearing Jasper's voice, Awesome's face instantly twisted into an expression of disdain. "What's it to you?""Wow, touchy, aren't we? Fine, not my business. But I heard something interesting... Is it true you've started liking women now? What's that about?" Jasper teased.Awesome rolled his eyes. He was clearly irritated. "Yeah, I do. So what? What are you going to do about it?""Damn, that's impressive! A monk can like women! You're something else!" Jasper gave him a thumbs-up. "They say the temptations of the mortal world are endless. I guess they weren't lying!" With that, Jasper plopped down next to Awesome. The monk shifted uncomfortably, sliding away as if trying to put some distance between them."So, come on, tell me, what kind of woman do you like?" Jasper asked, grinning mischievously.Awesome didn't bother responding."Don't be stingy. Spill th

"Yes, yes, that's right! Could you deliver a message for me, please? Say I find him inspiring and would love to meet him," she continued.Bear smiled warmly. "Of course!" he said. "Please hold on. I'll go tell Awesome straight away."With that, he hurried off to search for Awesome.At that moment, Awesome was sitting beside Jasper. Both men were a bit down.Suddenly, Bear's voice reverberated from the back. "Awesome! Awesome! Your luck's going to turn!"Hearing his excited tone, both Awesome and Jasper turned their heads."Bear, what are you going on about? What luck?" Awesome asked. He was puzzled.Panting from the short sprint, Bear managed to catch his breath. He smiled as he spoke. "Do you remember the stunning ladies from Grand Weaver's Workshop? They're here to see you!""What?" Awesome jumped up when he heard this."Bear, you'd better not be messing with me! Are you serious?" Clearly, Awesome was in disbelief."It's true, it's true! These beauties have taken the initia
