Atonement's Path Chapter 30: DEVIL
After an hour of chasing, they’ve escaped the Empire’s soldiers. The men hastily aided Ragnar to a seat. Even though Ragnar had a massive body, it didn’t stop his men from carrying his heavy body to safety, where he could surely recover."Go to the village," Ragnar said, his voice trembling."No, we can't; they will find us and destroy the entire village, killing the residents and even Zaly!" All the men inside the carriage, including Ragnar, were hopeless. Their voice trembled, and their legs shook. Knowing that this was the end of their lives, they were obviously afraid of dying at this moment.Even though they have faced a lot of near-death experiences or just heartwarming moments in their lives, this one was different. Their deaths will surely happen at any moment, and if they were alive when the soldiers captured them, they will likely be tortured brutally.“We have no choice but to see our own family before we die! We have to go back to the village quickly!” Ragnar yelled, teari
Atonement's Path Chapter 31: Savior
Zaly’s footsteps reverberated throughout the whole house. As he walked to his father’s room, a large wave of aura surrounded him, which made some of his men uncomfortable. While he hid the knife in his pockets.After heading to his father’s room for a whole minute, he finally arrived. One of his father’s men assisted him to the room and was by his side the whole minute."We are here, Zaly; your father said you would be talking to him privately, so I will stand guard until you are finished." The man slowly opened the door as Zaly entered. In the room was his father, who lied on his mattress, which was on the floor.“I hope you have a great conversation with your father.” The man left while closing the door.Zaly looked at the door one last time as his father called his name. “Zaly.” Zaly quickly glanced over to his father’s lifeless body. “Sit here, next to me.” Zaly’s expression was obviously annoyed, but he still followed his father’s order.“I failed myself as a father.” Unexpected
Atonement's Path Chapter 32: Sky
Ragnar’s in a state of shock and dread. His mouth was wide open as he was about to call for help; his whole face was covered in sweat from fear, and he raised his arms to defend himself from Zaly.But before he could yell for help, a familiar shadow hid behind Zaly. Though the anomaly was nothing but darkness, his smile can still be seen. “The devil! Why are you here? Don’t try to use my son! Don’t use my son!”Ragnar crawled backwards, despite the pain he’s feeling. “You really don’t learn, Ragnar," the DEVIL said as he took a step forward. “Go on, Zaly! Kill him.” The mischievous tone of the DEVIL returned, ordering Zaly to kill his own father.“Zaly! I raised you! I am y–” Ragnar stopped, realizing something. In a state of grief, Ragnar said, “I may not be the father you wanted, but I am your father! I will always be your father! My blood runs inside you; I am still inside you, even if you kill me. My remains will always be inside you, Zaly.”Zaly slowly walked forward, as if he we
Atonement's Path Chapter 33: Transmuted Soul
Even though Zaly knows he killed his father, his leg trembles, and his lips widen into a frightening smile."You have succeeded. You genuinely are this world's salvation."With so much pain in his mind, Zaly felt the essence of the darkness circle him quickly.In an instant, thousands of ideas flooded Zaly's mind. These thoughts represented not only Ragnar's moments of melancholy and hopelessness but also his suffering following Ana's departure.Indeed, that was the moment when Ragnar gave up all of humanity for his son. With his head fully covered by his bloody hands, Zaly shouted at the DEVIL, "What is this!"'Just Memories. The recollections of your father. Those are your father's final thoughts.'Behind him emerged a shadow with two horns on its head and claws as sharp as a soldier's broadsword.Grieving, Zaly said, "Memories? When did this happen to him!?""Find that yourself!"After uttering those words, the DEVIL's shadow vanished. 'How are such memories allowed to come back?
Atonement's Path Chapter 34: Inverted World

This inverted domain, where chaos claims its throne, is known as the upside down, where darkness reigns supreme.Within this accursed land, demons roam freely, their presence oozing with malevolence. They prowl in the darkness, driven by insatiable hunger and twisted delight.This forsaken realm, a place of eternal darkness and despair,Where lost souls wander, trapped in the clutches of fear."Forgive us!" One of the souls wept."O Demons, free us!" Another one cried.Lost souls wept for they were thrashed down in this cursed land by the DEVIL himself, to the blasphemy and sins they've committed."Oh Luca, save us!" One cried as he was punished to feel suffering forever, he will forever feel pain, but not only physical pain, he is already destroyed mentally and he is punished to cry for eternity."You shall not say his name, he had already betrayed his men! He is a
Atonement's Path Chapter 35: Titania's Castle
Inside the inverted castle, a home of royalty and a home of the Titans, the frame of the skeleton remained in his position with the same look glared at Fraser. Slowly, his fingers pointed directly at Fraser's body."May the angels guide you to your destiny." A constant beam of light from the floor shone through the entire room.And that same beam of light vanished in an instant; not even the people outside the castle noticed the unexpected ray of light. And with the beam of light, Fraser disappeared too.Skullen sat on his throne without breaking a sweat and only showed a hint of annoyance. His mouth did not open, and no words were uttered."Master, are you disappointed?" A rough-voiced figure appeared beside the throne.The red-skinned devil stood in front of Skullen, and before kneeling, he fixed his glasses."Please accept my apologies for the minor inconvenience," the red-skinned devil said, kneeling and stretching his arms to offer Skullen a book."Is it the Evangelical Visiona
Atonement's Path Chapter 36: Etherane
Fraser found himself back on the 2nd floor after successfully delivering the documents to Titania. Exhausted from his work in the castle, he leaned against the wall for support. Taking a moment to catch his breath, Fraser reached into his pockets and retrieved the coins he had earned that day. With a sly smile of relief, he opened his hand to reveal the fruits of his labor. "One metherack coin and five silver coins," he murmured to himself. "That's quite a sum of money. I must use it wisely." Feeling a sense of accomplishment, Fraser decided it was time to head home. However, before he could make his way out, a deep voice echoed from his right. It was a middle-class demon, easily recognizable by his sharp teeth and two horns on his forehead. “Are you tired, Fraser?” “Not really, but I’ll rest; don’t worry.” Fraser glanced at the demon and smiled slightly. “You sure need to. Also, there’s not a lot of demons now; they’ve left because the Etherane will be extinguished in the next
Atonement's Path Chapter 37: Lone Monster
Hundreds of soldiers from the empire and the royalty had surrounded a lone figure. The person stood their ground, brandishing an axe, and was ready to face every single one of the soldiers.Both the royalty and the empire had agreed to compact and to hunt the single demon that committed the massacres all over the realm.

Five months have passed since his rampage and the loss of his father, and Zaly remained unfazed by the joint forces of the Empire and the Royalty. His mind has become accustomed to taking innocent lives, and his gaze remains as unyielding as a diamond. Strangely, instead of remorse, a twisted sense of satisfaction fills him with each life he snuffs out.Despite numerous battles, the soldiers continue to suffer defeat at the hands of a single man. His reputation has instilled fear in the hearts of the people, and even the most well-planned strategies have proven ineffective against him. He remains immovable, impervious to any attempts to subdue him.The soldiers engaged in yet another battle, their hearts filled with fear and fury as they cried out their battle cries.Despite the injuries sustained, including lost limbs and eyes, they continued to rage with unrelenting determination.“Don’t ever let one thought destroy our goal as humans!

Chapter 38: Northern Styles
In the distant lands of the northern region of the Realm of Air, a village lies on top of a mountain. The beauty of the village is represented by the green, lush trees that surround the village’s atmosphere; a river formed by the purest water streamed down the mountain, creating a waterfall out of clear water. Koi fish swam through the rivers, and the pandas lived by the bamboos.An old man with local attire held a slumbering young boy at his back, heading towards Fuku Village.With each step taken by the old man, the boy slumbered more in a soothing, serene rhythm. The aerial beings flew past them as the wind grew fiercer.“So refreshing it is.”The old man inhaled deeply while gazing at the different structures of mountains in the distance.After walking for a few minutes, he came across the ritual shrine dedicated to Luca in the village. The presence of the shrine served as a symbolic confirmation that he had reached his destination. It stood as a tangible marker, signifying the en
