Rise Of The Celestials Chapter 72
"I knew it… There must have been something to create an enigma like you"In front of Aiden was a large slab of rock with weird writings and drawings on it. The instant it appeared; all eyes were drawn to it."Hahaha…"The Boss was still cackling loudly to himself when he felt the wind brush past his chest; almost immediately, he felt his legs leave the ground, and then the pain came rolling in…He screamed even before he landed on the ground as the punch drove his teeth into his tongue so hard that he bit off its edges."You wanted a fight, come get it… It’s a wonder what a race humanity can be if a priest is trying to kill an apprentice for refusing his invitation to join a group of misfits"This statement struck a chord in their minds and it caused all ten of them to react at the same time, in the same way.The situation also changed completely when they heard the aged voice that spoke through Aiden's mouth.The Boss wasn't too bothered by those words because the next moment, a flam

"You better pray that they are enough to sacrifice or you're next""…"That statement scared Andrew into silence immediately. His friends also looked over with horrified expressions, keeping their mouths shut as they watched the two guards being dragged off to where The Boss was standing.As soon as they were brought to his side, he went crazy. He placed his hand on the first guard's head and raised his face to the sky.In that position, he burst into flames again. His dimmed fire veins regained their glow, and his arms, and eyes spewed fire the very next moment.The bizarre part of all this was the fact that the guard was used in the same manner that he had been described; a sacrifice.His skin dried up and cracked… Following that, they also shrunk until they were literally hugging his bones. By the end of it, the guard looked like a desiccated human who died the sickliest person in the world. Much to the horror of those watching… It was such a gruesome death that Diane turned away
Rise Of The Celestials Chapter 74
The Primordial Stele gravitated to both sides for a moment, whipping forward and back, however, it soon came to rest in the middle of the two.Aiden let his senses loose, firing off thoughts to the Stele in a bid to have it return. His thoughts were, if the stele could choose to save his when he did not ask for it, then it should be able to help him with whatever sentience it had when he asked.The tussle soon began to show on both figures. For Aiden, the white armor began to crack at the sections and joints of his outstretched arms, while The Boss' arm began to lose its flames.Aiden put in all his effort and the stele inched forward in his direction. He gathered his strength for a few minutes and pulled again.Again, the stele moved a few inched in his direction… As small as they were, he was making progress.Suddenly, The Boss screamed out loud with more fire veins popping out of his neck. The tug that had begun inching toward Aiden for a moment suddenly came back to life.The Prim
Rise Of The Celestials Chapter 75
His thoughts cleared up to show him the image of light beams firing off into the distance. He was hitched to a beam of light as he flew past other beams of light.He could perceive his surrounding, but he had no control over everything. It was like his body did not exist.He continued to drift along with the beam of light until he suddenly felt it, a strain like he was being pulled apart.Ahead of him, he saw the beam of light ahead, separating into two identical pieces. He understood at that moment, that this was the same thing that was about to him.Trying to keep himself from getting torn apart became a struggle in an instant. You could imagine it as having someone trying to rip his mind in two.Keeping himself untorn also brought the struggle of trying to keep the beam he was tethered to, untorn.This brought heart-wrenching pain that made him scream. His screams stayed in his mind as his current form had no concept of an actual body.The pain made him close his perception of the

"Thanks for the compliment", the figure said as it stood up straight.Despite the armored look the figure wore, you could easily imagine the smile underneath the armor.Unsurprisingly, this was not the only surprising thing he did… The next moment, the figure stepped up to the original armor, Aiden's body piloted by Zarek, and merged with it.It was the same sequence as what The Boss did with the ten assailants and Raven's sister.Seeing the same sequence happen to Aiden, while The Boss stood not too far away with a hole in his chest was a change that happened in a split second.It made The Boss start a soliloquy and his words became the prelude to an even fight for the first time since the torment derailed their journey."I don't know what you did, but you underestimate me if you believe that it is enough to beat me… The stele was a waste on you, and I have not brought out enough of its potential""Indeed, you don't know what I've done… Step away, Princess Diane… This fight might tur
Rise Of The Celestials Chapter 77
With a loud crashing sound, the meteor crashed into the stele that The Boss used to shield himself from the attack.This did not mark the end of that, because there was a sound that came right after the crash of the meteor. This sound was accompanied by the visual cue that was spiderweb cracks.All eyes turned to the stele, and they saw without mistake that the stele in front of the boss had cracks running through it."Impossible!!!"This was The Boss' first reaction to the cracks. He took another look at the stele, and then the realization dawned on him.He turned to look at Aiden's armored figure with an identical stele floating behind him. His expression changed immediately…"You… You stole it from me. You have no idea what you hold in your hand… You are unworthy of its magnificence"For the first time since The Boss transformed himself into a fire angel, his voice lost its calm nature. He was agitated… So much so that he raised the stele and smashed it into the ground.As the final

"Let's get this over…"The two attacks seemed to vanish the moment they were released.The moment both attacks reappeared was only a moment later but it did so with a piercing sound that seemed to cut deep into the ear.This brought Diane, Andrew, and his friends down to their knees as they tried to block the sound by covering their ears.The collision between both attacks led to a push and pull from both attacks…Aiden's spear tried to find a way to pierce through The Boss but the attack The Boss sent was not having any of that. It stood as a barrier that tried to keep the spear away while pushing its way to Aiden.The grating sound continued for a few seconds with none of them finding a way to complete their destructive missions.The Boss let out a smile and snapped his fingers while Aiden clenched his fist at the same moment.This took both attacks from deathly to terrifying in the blink of an eye… There was a bright white light that washed over everything when both attacks took a

Aiden had a lot happening in his mind at that moment… Zarek stood beside him watching his expression many times.His figure laying on the platform suddenly had a change in expression.From the pained and disturbed expressions, he had been showing, to nothing; his expression went blank, an indifferent look plastered to his face.Zarek continued to watch, waiting to see whatever changes would ensue. However, from the moment that Aiden's expression settled into an indifferent one, it no longer changed.Meanwhile, in the room opposite Diane's, three people sat in different spots around the room. They were having a conversation and Andrew who sat on one of the beds wore a poker face as he listened to his friends."Do we really need to stay in this crappy hotel? Your father already arranged something better before he sent us here…", one of them said."Zakari is right… They saved us but what, if we want to leave, we should be able to", the other affirmed.Andrew stopped talking and drew in a

Breakdown (1)
The crowd was pulled from the tragedy that the nobles caused, and some people started to point to the group suspended above them, whispering and murmuring various pieces of gossip.This was a topic that excited them all, however, the ones who were most excited for the revelation were the nobles who finally knew the people who beat them to occupy the highest floor of the tower.They did not hide the wicked grins on their faces and Aiden saw these grins on their faces. He also saw that the group were starting to descend from the sky into the midst of the crowd. That was bad and was quickly made worse when he noticed the nobles setting their hounds on the group.He could guess their thoughts. Even if the group was stronger than they were, given the position they occupied, they did not believe it and wanted to know for themselves how powerful they were.This gave Aiden a headache and his mind began to spin quickly, looking for a big enough distraction that would give the group a chance to

Chapter 149: Unexpected Changes
None could ask the other for help because each had someone attacking them, however, they were not noble scions for nothing. Despite being overpowered by the golems, they dealt some damage over time.It was not immediately obvious, but they managed to hold their own, and avoid grievous injuries even though there were several close calls.It took them each about an hour to circumvent their respective golems and deal enough damage to break through their chests.Hadrian was the first followed by Oscar shortly after with Tristan clocking in third, a few seconds behind Oscar. He was unhappy with this but he had no time to be unhappy because his face soon changed into a somber look. Oscar who had just tried to pick up the glowing multi-coloured orb was surprised to find the orb roll away from him and float up to meet the orb that came from Tristan’s golem. This also meant that the orb in Hadrian’s hand was the only one that remained.Oscar and Tristan noticed this, but they could do nothin

Chapter 148: Three Noble Scions
No one cared who had said that word because they all ran. The sight of the gray tentacles rising like pillars from the depths of the abyss was enough to scare every one of them.At the same moment, there was a rumble that spread across the skies of the city at that moment. Everyone heard it. Aiden, sitting in the restaurant was jolted from his thoughts and joined everyone else as they looked up at the ruin.He witnessed a few of the tentacles of the beast appear on the edge of the ruin as he had seen before they entered the ruin.‘That bridge, huh? They might be lucky enough to escape'.He did not care much if these people beat the ruin and made it to the temple. He had gotten his rewards and he was happy with that.Tristan and his group had immediately dashed off the bridge, but the tentacles came down on the bridge at a lightning-fast speed.This attack ripped the bridge apart, leaving just three people from Tristan’s group unscathed.Tristan’s face was painted with horror like ever

Aiden was dumbfounded. How was this a reward? It simply contradicted itself. The problem it caused was having him be a prime target for the Zaltyr, but it would also save him from them once.Then, is the mark erased once the life-saving opportunity is used?[Yes, everything returns to normal after that]This made him heave a sigh of relief. He tried to look at this from a positive perspective. This meant the mark was not meant to specifically protect him from the Zaltyr, its main purpose was to protect him from every other thing that tried to kill him.Thinking about it this way made it easier to accept the fact that he was going to be in trouble with the Zaltyr sooner or later, albeit only slightly.Elder Zarek watched Aiden go through his thoughts for a few minutes while he thought of the command he had received from The World Seed.Aiden had recovered his thoughts at this point and decided to check on his elemental seed. He was elated to see the changes to his elemental seed.The mu

Chapter 146: Mark of the Primordial World Seed
None of the thirty remaining survivors was stupid and they took things as calmly as they could. There was no visible harm to resting till a problem was identified and this was something they unanimously agreed on.As they expected, there was something that was out of the ordinary and it was found after two hours of waiting.The quiet rumble that came from the depths of the chasm was enough of a wake-up call.Theo of the Arco twins was the one who made the first comment, breaking the silence. None of them believed that crossing the bridge would be easy from the start, however, the realization that some unknown danger lurked beneath was enough to bring them flashbacks of their time in the maze.“There’s something down there as well? Why is this trial so difficult?”“Good thing we were patient…”“Patient? What does that do for us?”“Theo is not completely wrong. Every stage of the trials had been harder than the last”, Oscar took a deep breath.“Indeed… Something that can cause such a ru

Chapter 145: Separated By Trials
“You just had to jinx it?”Raven rolled her eyes in response.The orb glowed and the rubble spread across the hall was drawn to it. One piece after the other, they mashed together and barely a moment later, a statue had formed.This statue looked the same as the ones they fought before, save for a few important differences. One, this new statue was massive, at least three times as tall. Two, the statue now had a weapon – A halberd which it swung around. Three, most importantly, it had lines running all over its body. Looking close enough these lines were runes just like the ones Aiden and the rest had, but these were very close to being complete, easily dwarfing the ones they had.Their expressions turned grave as the glowing eyes of the massive statue locked onto them.It was a golem, and it wasted no time. With a roar that sounded like thunder, it wielded its halberd and charged at them.There was no running from it, because, a sweep of its halberd made the hall feel claustrophobi

Chapter 144: The Stone Guardians
Raven who had suggested was the first to move, and the moment she did, everyone else followed her one after the other. They got to the stone coffin amidst their careful creeping without any problems. The unnerving feeling that they felt from the statues kept them on their toes as they expected everything to go wrong at any moment. "Now what", Raven asked. Aiden and Connor stepped here, and as he instructed; "Keep an eye out", the two of them pushed the lid off the stone coffin. They were right to be worried, because the moment the stone coffin opened slightly, light burst out of the opening. They were taken aback by this absurd light show, however, the light was like a tonic, one that breathed life into the surrounding. Life into the several warrior statues that lined the walls. Each of their eyes opened with a snap, glowing a bright orange, followed by cracks that came from the loosening of the joints on the statues. Gadiel was the first to speak regret about the situation, but

With Aiden and Connor leading the way, they stepped onto the rope bridge. The silence that fell on them at that was quite unnerving, but it helped them keep their focus. This meant that their reactions were spot on as they responded immediately to Aiden making any signals.This was the moment that they finally understood the danger that lay in the chasm beneath them. Apart from the scary chasm that looked like a bottomless pit, a sight that already promised them death should they fall into it, there was something else living in the chasm, and the dreadful atmosphere it brought with evidence of its existence sent chills running their spines. The conclusion here was very simple, there was trouble and they needed to be careful.Listening carefully, they heard the silent rumbles gradually fade away, taking with it the tense atmosphere they felt. You would expect Aiden to make a sudden dash to get across as quickly as possible, but he didn't. He was taking no chances, so continued steadily

"Three days?!", Raven started."Oh, don't get worked up, it was more like two and a half days", Princess Eleanor chipped in.Unfortunately, this did not change the reaction Raven had; in fact, her reaction got worse at that moment as she got frantic and almost lost her mind as she looked around."Calm down, Raven. Things are not as bad as you think. We are out of the grassland maze; of course, we had to wait for everyone to de-petrify before we continued…", Deirdre explained."So, what trial do we have now?", Raven asked and immediately got a response."Oh, the long rope bridge, strung across the chasm that has a tentacled beast living in it", Deirdre responded like that piece of information was of no consequence.Raven was silent as she stared off into space for a moment. When she got her mind back, she asked almost immediately… "Are we crossing now that I am awake?"A question to which Princess Eleanor answered in a snarky and sarcastic tone… "Hopefully". Her comment got a few gazes
