Buzzzzzzzzzz!!!!A piercing sound rang out in front of a huge temple.The panthers surrounding Orion stepped back in fear. Their instincts told them that they were in danger.Even the guardian panther took a step back.As for his pack ?It was already too late..."Njord Wind..."He muttered and swung his sword around him in a full swoop.SWISH!"Hoggva"Whiiizzzzzzzzzzzz!An ear-breaking whistling sound echoed around.Then....WHOOOOOSH!BOOOOOM!Hundreds and hundreds of green wind blades flew everywhere around Orion.One blade was enough to severely injure a panther, but there, it was just a slaughter.Spurt! Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!Growl_________!The panthers growled in pain and fear but couldn't avoid the terrific dark wind.Crash!Boom!The wind lacerated everything around at tremendous speed.The panthers were all just chunks of flesh now and even that flesh was sent flying crashing into walls and the temple.Crack!The pillars of the temple cracked slightly."Ah...ah...ah...ah"Or
"Dammit...Cough!" Orion cursed while standing up. Ripping a part of his t-shirt, he covered the wound on his chest. The blood tainted the white cloth but the blood had been stopped, at least for now. Orion looked at his surroundings. The area around him was utterly destroyed. At least sixty panthers' bodies were littering around, or what remained littering from their bodies. "Cough!" Orion walked slowly toward the temple. He was staggering and his face was deathly pale. But he at least wanted to know what was inside the temple before his death. He knew he was going to die, so he might as well find what was inside the temple. "Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah" He entered the temple and found just a silver stele in the center. It was similar to the stele in the grand hall of the Solaria Palace he saw the day he awakened. Reaching the stele, he put his bloodied left hand like before to awaken. Suddenly, the blood from his hand seeped into the stele. Orion didn't even notice that, a
Rummble! The sanctuary trembled as if an earthquake was happening, but Aita didn't care. "H-Hey Soren! Answer me! You know who I am, right ?!" Aita shouted but there was no reply. "I think...No! I'm sure that you have something to do with me! Soren!" Still no answer. Suddenly thinking about what Orion said about dying soon, Aita panicked. "H-Hey Orion?! You can't die ! Wake up!" Aita screamed again. Boom! Suddenly, the whole sanctuary shook. Thud! The white cube fell on the ground as the chains disappeared slowly. Crack! A crack appeared in the white cube. "...!" Aita, in his consciousness, could feel that the chains binding and destroying his body were slowly breaking apart. Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Several other cracks appeared on the cube and the divine white light leaked out slowly from the cracks. BOOOM! The cube exploded and the whole sanctuary was engulfed in a divine light. The light receded after a few minutes and the tremor also stopped. Nothing seeme
Although Orion was not highly regarded in the Empire, he was still an envoy of god for the Solaria empire.Killing someone of Orion's status was severely punishable.That's what the nobles against the truce waited for.Now they had a good reason to break the talks about a truce between Solaria and Lunarstella.Helio couldn't help but be disgusted by these nobles. If he hadn't stopped them, they would have been the ones killing Orion.But now they were acting like Orion was their child and asking for revenge...They were just using his death for their end."Your Majesty, about tomorrow...""No."Helio cut off Salazar."We will still meet the Lunarstella's envoy for the truce."Helio replied though he was worried.Tomorrow the envoy of Lunarstella will come to the imperial capital of Solas to discuss the truce.With the death of Orion, the timing was very bad.It was as if everything was planned to break the truce...But Helio didn't want to break the talks when they were that near to a
"I think the nobles of Solaria killed Orion and put the blame on Lunarstella."Anna said in a low voice, but for Isabel it sounded like a bomb."Wha..! mmmfmfmf"Before she shouted, Anna closed her mouth with her hand."Sshsh. Be quiet."Anna said while looking at her surroundings.Fortunately, the knights couldn't hear them and neither did her classmates.Then she turned back to her friend."Isabel. I never trusted the Solaria Empire.""..."Isabel, who was released, listened quietly."Now even less with Orion's death."Anna said in a sad tone."I'm not saying that they are all bastards, but unfortunately, the guy behind Orion's death is probably someone of high ranking in Solaria.""...!"Isabel opened her eyes wide.If what Anna said was true, then they were in constant danger here."Anna, you want to say that they killed Orion just to prevent the truce between Solaria and Lunarstella...?"Isabel asked with a hint of anger in her voice."Yes, Isabel. They killed Orion just for that
Swooooosh!Thud!A strange sound resounded in a forest like an open portal.From the portal, a young man with black hair came out.His clothes were torn and bloodied.His black eyes were sharp as he looked around."A forest?"Aita muttered and looked at the trees around him.Rustle_!The trees shook slightly while the portal slowly closed behind Aita.Aita tried to put his hand back in the portal, but an invisible barrier prevented him from entering the portal.The portal closed and disappeared into the forest as if it had not appeared in the first place.Gurgle_"Sigh... I need to eat something."Aita whispered before leaving.Although his torturer gave him bread and water every day, it was not good at all.In fact, they were probably rotten, but at the time, he had no choice if he wanted to live, so he grudgingly ate.As for Aita, he didn't even remember when it was the last time, but it was probably decades ago.And Soren, it felt like centuries.It had always been Runa who cooked
Yawwwwn____________!The following morning, Aita woke up tired and hungry.He forced himself to eat the five-star dish he made but it was too much for him.Raising his body, he headed again to the same lake and washed himself."I have to get out of this forest."It was his most important objective now.He wanted to get out of the forest and find a town where he could rest for a few days.More importantly, he wanted to eat properly and buy new clothes.After that, he could find a solution to reach Soren's 'world'.He already had an idea of where to start.The space rift.Though even the previous heroes couldn't break through the rift, it was his only clue for now.Whooosh!So he decided to climb on the biggest tree he saw to find the exit of the damn forest.The trees in the forest were all giant but the one he was climbing on was even bigger.At least three hundred meters high.After a few minutes, he reached the top and looked around him.He could see all the other trees which were s
""Uncle Zack!""A girl and a boy rushed toward a kneeling old man.A few strands of white hair were in his black hair and his pale face made him even older."It's okay Luna, Narvi. I just need some rest."Zack said with an exhausted smile."I-I'm sorry uncle...it's all my fault...sniff...sniff"The girl cried profusely, looking at the bodies behind her."What are you saying ? It was our duty and I'm sure the others were happy to give their lives bravely for you..."Zack said with a tender smile."Happy my ass!"Suddenly, a voice rang out on their left."""!!!"""Zack quickly raised his tired body and went in front of the girl and the boy.Snap!A branch's snapping sound echoed as Aita came out from behind a tree.Zack and the other two opened their eyes wide, seeing the young man in front of them.He had an average face but his presence and gaze were anything but average.Strange dark green symbols were tattooed on the right side of his face and his gaze was intimidating."Who would b
