Chapter 126 BOOK II VOLUME VI FALL OF THE EMPYRION CHAPTER 126 GRAZYNTH, GUARDIAN OF THE FAR END (I) Blend of colors, of shapes, sounds and miracles awoke a sense of strange yearning inside of Lino . Like ink, colors appeared to be brushed into shapes of still images by a hand divine, then further defined by light, by shadows, by depth . Scene unfolded before his eyes in just a few moments, yet those few moments perfectly captured the beauty of life . Lino found himself overlooking a…-

Chapter 125 CHAPTER 125 RUINS OF THE FORGOTTEN KINGDOM At first it was but a few pillars sticking out from sand at odd angles, carved out with plethora of beautiful designs depicting an alien culture that seemed to have strange fascination with fire . Some pillars were thick and some thin, some flatly painted-on some hand-crafted, some tall and some short, yet all unquestionably oozed archaic aura, breathing out air of times long since past . After pillars came the walls, made entirely of white…

Chapter 124 CHAPTER 124 SEA OF SAND There was a certain elegance to the day; what with the perfect, blue sky blending over into meekly misty horizon sheltered in white, and warm, southern wind working in concert with the nature to create an idyllic scenery spanning lands and mountains . Then there were animals, of all sort and make, both winged and otherwise, enjoying the bliss of the day and amplifying it with their own majesty . There were also rivers and lakes with waters so glistening it would…

Chapter 123 CHAPTER 123 UNINTENDED INVITATION "No way? Really? You never had a boyfriend?" Lino asked walking at a brisk pace, a faint smile hanging on his face, his eyes glistening . "That’s impossible! You’re way too cute!" "It is forbidden . " Freya replied somewhat shyly, trying to avoid his gaze . "Haii, how loathsome one is to forbid love?" Lino lamented flamboyantly, stringing his arm around Freya’s shoulder . "Can you imagine it? The world . . . the entire world forbidden to…

Chapter 122 CHAPTER 122 HIRED Hallway stretched flat, surrounded on both sides by rooms, encompassed wholly in silence . The only source of light was a bay window at the far end through which a few faint traces of moonlight touched the floorboards, yet not much else . Just beyond the reach of the moon’s rays were a few shadows pressed tightly against the wall, inching closer in complete silence . In total there were six, three on each side, masked in black with leather-armored chests and legs as…

Chapter 121 CHAPTER 121 WINDING JOURNEY A familiar path spread before his eyes, one which bore a striking memory of the first time he came to the City of Sun . It was a winding road splicing the mountain as it went round and through, surrounded by lavish greenery of meadows and valleys, and great Flent River which went on southward to spill into the Imus Sea . It was a highly traveled road, be it merchant’s or ordinary man’s, and it never dubbed itself silent since many moons ago . Lino was…

Chapter 120 CHAPTER 120 REBIRTH It was the howling; cold, decadent, mocking - swiftly cruel like a sword plunging through one’s heart . It was the howling which stirred his heart and mind and soul, causing his veins to bulge like worms and his whole body to shake off the coat of forsaken age, slipping through a hole in time to be reborn . It was the howling that nobody else heard - or could possibly hear - for it lived on inside of him . It was not his own or of some other entity, but more akin…

Chapter 119 CHAPTER 119 CONVICTION Reality ceased to exist, as though swept away by strange winds trailing ahead of time . In a small shack within an insignificant corner of the city, a young man sat in silence, eyes staring wide open at the screen in front of him and two figures within it . Alongside searching for Lucky, he’d also tried finding them, but to no avail . It was as though they left these parts like ghosts, without leaving a single trace behind . They were the same as he…

Chapter 118 CHAPTER 118 AN EMPRESS AND A BEGGAR Lino was staring at an unannounced and a very unexpected guest, draped in velvet folds like curtains, veiled in thick silk as to cover her face from those curious enough to look . Despite the stack of clothes atop of her, she still held herself with strange dignity which seemed to manifest itself into the atmosphere . However, it did rather little to sway Lino either way; he was merely curious and somewhat confused as to why was the Empress of the…

Chapter 117 CHAPTER 117 SHADE There was a drumming silence encapsulating a small, riverside, star-shaped fort . As the silver moon hung above, casting its rays over the gray walls, those few patrolmen who ought to be paying attention to the surroundings were snoring happily with emptied bottles in their hands . The fort itself was called Lunar Fort, one of numerous forts alongside the border between the Divine Dynasty and the Demonic Battlefield, situated at the very edge of the desert…
