233 Chaos "...." Candles flickered, and light seeped in through the mosaic windows. Archbishop Lucas stood in silence, staring at the altar before him. The silence was eerie, almost oppressive. That silence was broken shortly after. "....Your Holiness." One of the nuns appeared behind him. Turning around, the Archbishop's white eyes locked with the nun. There was no need for the two to exchange any words. With just a glance, he knew exactly what she wanted to relay to him. 'So they've…-

232 Chaos Bang—! I hastily sat up the moment the explosion sounded. "What happened...?" I looked in the direction of where the noise came from. "Reinforcements?" Were we going to get rescued from this place? My heartbeat accelerated at the thought, but Owl-Mighty was quick to pour cold water over my thoughts. "It's unlikely." I turned my head to look at it. "Why?" "....If it were reinforcements, then they wouldn't be so obvious. In fact, considering how important you all…

231 The Ring of Nothingness Leon sat in his chamber with his eyes closed. He was shirtless, and a blue glow manifested from within his body, highlighting every vein in his body. Ba... Thump! Ba... Thump! The beat of his heart quietly echoed throughout the room as his heart was also highlighted by the blue glow coming from within his body. It was a sight that would leave anyone breathless. "....." Just like everyone else, he underwent the 'Trial of the Forgotten Minds.' However,…

230 The Ring of Nothingness 'This is...!' Aoife's eyes were locked on the projection that was displayed for everyone to see. She could hardly describe the shock that she was feeling as she saw the cadet from the Aurora Empire walk within the world of white. As he walked, she could vividly see his eyes starting to lose focus with each step that he took. She wasn't the only one who noticed this. Everyone else noticed the same change as the air around them started to grow tense. 'It's almost as if…

——Moments earlier. "Welcome, everyone." I had no time to properly digest the new information before I was dragged into a large church. Looking around, I saw a few faces that I had seen back in the first chamber that they had brought us in. Thinking back, I realized that the main reason behind that situation was probably to demonstrate to us what would happen if we were to become disobedient. ".....It looks like most of you are here. I will now start with an introduction of myself and what we…

Immediately after I laughed, I hastily covered my mouth and looked at the owl who was looking at me with squinted eyes. "....." A strange silence took over the surroundings. "....It wasn't funny." I tried to play it off, but the cat gave me no chance. "That was a laugh." It then turned to look at the owl, a smirk slowly creeping up on its lips. It didn't say anything, but from its gaze, it looked to be gloating. The owl merely glanced at it before expressing what seemed to be…

Leon felt dazed. Everything felt vague, and his mind blurred in and out of consciousness. 'What is going on?' The scent of blood rushed into his mind, tickling his nose. He felt a certain pain in his neck. It hurt quite bad, but he still knew he was alive. The pain was certification of this. It was certification that he was still alive and only unconscious. The scenery within his mind changed. Leon found himself in a familiar forest. The trees were sparsely arranged, their slender…

"....." The room was silent, hardly any sound could be heard besides the subtle, and yet strained sound of the people's breaths within the room. I sat in my corner staring at the scene with a blank look. My thoughts were a jumbled mess, and as I lowered my head, my gaze fell on the small vial that was attached to my arm. It was three-quarters of the way filled. A thought ran down my mind as I recalled the scene from before. 'Three lives.' Each quarter of the vial signified a life.…

The doors rumbled, slowly revealing hints of light from beneath, casting long, wavering shadows across the room. I stood still, my heart pounding, watching the doors with a mix of dread and anticipation. Finally... Finally, I was going to uncover the truth. What kind of experiment they had performed on me, and where my brother was. The answers were just before me. My heart pounded loudly within my mind. Rumble~ The doors continued to open, and the light turned more blinding. I had…

A faint, eerie glimmer of light seeped through the mosaic windows, its feeble glow barely illuminating the towering altar at the room's heart. The air was heavy with an unsettling stillness, as if the very walls held their breath, waiting for something unseen yet deeply ominous. "...." A man garbed in white stood before the altar. His features were aged, framed by a white cassock adorned with a pellegrina and cinched with a fringed white fascia. A golden necklace hung by his chest. Clasping his…
