“Is there anything else you want, my lord?”Even after putting out the fire, Alaqon still wanted to serve the Night Adjudicator, the one he revered so feverishly.Leiu felt a bit stressed and awkward to be put in such a situation. Nevertheless, he did not foolishly sun the Demon Lord, but instead decided to make good use of him.“You said this is not your complete form. Does that mean you can’t stay here permanently?”“That is right, my lord.” While still kneeling, his head bowed, Alaqon explained, “Until all the absorbed energy is expanded, I will remain here. If it doesn’t trouble you, I wish to accompany you and serve you the best I can.”A helpless sigh escaped the Dark Knight’s lips as he looked at Seo Ae-Ri and Fairti.“I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Having a Demon Lord as a lackey could prove beneficial. Then again, we are probably heading to the home of the Elves and, frankly, I don’t think they’ll welcome us with open arms were we accompanied by the Demon who burned their sac

“May you ever walk in the Light.” The woman prayed one last time before ascending into the heavens, basked in a resplendent white light that shone brighter than the sun. “Basically, we’re still stuck with the same problem. Redressing the balance? How are we to do that?” Hye Nari cursed and angrily stomped the ground. Elena too, was frustrated, she clutched her staff and worriedly looked at the sky. “I know… where do we even begin?” Their meeting with the messenger of the Light Mother provided them with a little bit of information, but it wasn’t enough to formulate an answer or a solution.

“Estelle, what’s wrong?”Hye Nari, Ayeon, and Estelle Sigreen were still traveling together. Their objective unchanged and the pursuit for the truth of the Genesis Knight and the Dark Knight was plaguing them. Although the messenger of the Light Mother did provide a brief clarification, she offered them no solutions. They were meant to seek everything by themselves and the handful of clues they possessed were simply not enough.Therefore, the three were heading to the capital of the Noules Empire, both to figure out what Leiu had done and try to get into contact with him. Estelle insisted that she should meet the Dark Knight herself and confront him as he might know more than them. Ayeon, of course, objected, fully knowing how he would react. Hye Nari, his ex-employer, however, took Estelle&r

“Leiu!”“Leiu.”Echoes of those distant voices were the only thing that could be heard in this world of darkness. It was bitterly cold, but more than that, the all-consuming darkness made him feel an overwhelming solitude… as if he was left alone.Whether it was Lethra, his little sister and only family member, or Carla Skelgan, the noble lady who was killed, or Mira, the unfortunate soul who accompanied and helped him through thick and thin yet he failed to protect. His life had become a tapestry of tragedies and problems, a never-ending battle. Yes, it was tiring to be driven to one corner after the other, pushed to the limits in every sense of the world. However, Leiu was never a person to give up so easily, e

In a small but exquisitely decorated hall, filled with golden pillars and snow-white marble ground, a tall but frail-looking elderly man with a long gray beard and wrinkled skin was trying to stand straight as he held onto a disproportionately large thin staff.This old man was the Pope of the Holy Church, a highly-influential individual who wields tangible and intangible power.No one would question his decision nor oppose him, and with how fast the power of the Holy Church was spreading, his authority only continued to rise. “You should have waited, Edward.”  The Pope looked at the kneeling man in a simple white robe. He was a Cardinal, someone second only to the Pope himself. Read more
