2024-10-29 19:42:56THE headquarters of the Akatasuna Guild in Ankhe City was a vast estate. It was privately owned by the House of Vaughn, one of the powerful aristocrats in Vatre.
The guild chamber was located underground because the place was always under the surveillance of the empire since they hated the insurgents’ guild.
“Holy shit! You owned this estate?” Jie was too shocked to learn this. He was staring at the huge family portrait mounted on the great hall. It was Ryker along with his parents. “And you are the sole heir!”
Ryker’s face darkened. “Nonsense! Continue walking.”
“How come this place is not raided?” Jie asked after he finished his tour of the entire estate. Ryker was always with him to prevent him from escaping, which Jie had no plans of doing.
Damien kept following them even though Ryker often showed disapproval of his presence, to which the former was unaffected. Jie was so

ANKHE City was so huge that Jie couldn’t check every place around the bottom layer within the day. They had to go back to Vaughn’s mansion since the charm was slowly wearing off.“I want to see the movement of people around here at night.” Jie insisted when Ryker was already mounted on his beast.“That's very risky. I should ask Winward to babysit you next time. I have a lot of important things to do, yet I am stuck here with you.” Ryker seemed filled with abhorrence.Jie exhaled sharply to control himself. Ryker’s tongue had always been sharp, and he better be careful not to trigger the assassin. What if Ryker suddenly decided to kill him?“Just teach me how to use the Imitation Charm, I can go on my own.” Jie pushed his luck to convince him.“No. Let's go home. You've already seen everything you need to see.”He jumped on his beast and followed Ryker. “Ho

THE force around the dungeon was so strong that even Ryker flew away. He had never imagined he’d seen Ethros this way. That he was capable of releasing this much energy without breaking his own body.“Calm down!” He tried to stop Ethros, but he could not go near him. It was the first time he witnessed such a kind of dark magic aside from their deputy chief. However, this one was raw and pure destruction.“If you don't control it, you'll annihilate the entire estate, and it will kill you!” Ryker kept warning, but Ethros seemed oblivious.“Snap out of it!” Ryker made several hand seals, creating a fire barrier to protect himself, when he realized that Ethros was already unstoppable.The dark clouds suddenly came to every orifice of Nahfu’s body. Then his flesh suddenly decayed until his skeleton remained. By the time the black smoke receded, the skeleton became brittle until it turned to ash.

THE Helios stormed off Vaughn’s estate with their disappointed faces. Ryker even accompanied them to the main gate. “I hope this will be the last you'll pry in my humble abode. Do I look that suspicious?” Ryker clicked his tongue. “By the way, whatever damages I have will be charged to you.” “My apologies, Lord Vaughn.” The red-haired soldier from earlier swallowed his pride when he got nothing despite checking every corner of the mansion. “I am a Vatrean aristocrat. Why would you doubt my allegiance to the empire?” Ryker lit a stick of cigarette. “We are going now. There must be some discrepancies with the report.” The soldier clenched his fists but kept his head up as he turned his back to the heir of the Vaughn Estate. He exhausted his magic earlier while searching, but he failed to find even the slightest evidence of his claim. Ryker sauntered back to the mansion while puffing smoke. He suddenly finds Damien at the entrance. “These lap dogs of the empire wouldn't let me

BEFORE the assassin could launch an attack. Izora shouted. “A portal led us here!” “A portal, you said?” The assassin took a deep breath. “How?” “Iridessa sent us here.” Kafle swiftly answered. He could still remember how this assassin knocked him down easily in just a split second. Knowing he couldn't fight him in his current condition, he questioned why all of the places they could be sent, but ended up here. “You’ve seen Iridessa?” The assassin seemed to doubt. “I didn't think she was the real deal. Only a few people know that the liberalist chief is a fae, and I'm one of them.” Kafle’s eyes were still fixed on the assassin's dagger. The usual cold face of the assassin seemed to soften. “My house is not an orphanage!” Kafle was confused, but he didn't say a word. Just in time, a huge shelf moved, and a doorway was shown. Two men came out. One of them was the person they'd been looking for. “Hey, Kafle?” “Ethros!” Izora ran toward him. “You’re alive!” “Grandma, it's
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 26 – Guild Meeting
JIE finally met several members of the Akatasuna Guild for the first time. Three guild officials attended, along with around twenty other members who were in Vatre during that time. He and Kafle were introduced to them; some were welcoming, while others seemed disappointed since they got into the guild easily. Unlike the normal members, they'd need to survive the life-and-death feats to be accepted. “This is the first time the guild has accepted honorary members,” said one of the guild members. A young woman named Krecia. She was a mage but was assigned to be a spy. Jie learned that she was the Intelligence Head. “The chief never gets wrong,” said the other. A middle-aged swordsman, Govi—the Raid Head Officer. Ryker was the one presiding over the meeting since he was the Ambassador of the Guild Council. They were inside the great hall underground, sitting on a long, rectangular table. “Our main agenda is to retrieve the child from the high mage’s tower. They cannot have the Luo
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 27 – Preparations
THE guild meeting ended abruptly. Krecia used her staff to create a circular projection to oversee what was going on outside. Everyone saw Commander Semme frantically searching inside the library. “He’s using mana detection…” Krecia muttered. “We'll see if he can find us.” “What if he does? That man is cruel! I have a score to settle with that bastard.” Ethros gritted his teeth. “If he finds us, then we'll kill him,” Uzzo said, as if it were not a big deal. Govi tilted his head in agreement. “Yes, that's the best choice. Even if it meant declaring war with that empire.” Everyone motioned their hands, and a circular blue energy danced in their palms, while Damien’s arm suddenly crawled with thorny vines with small white flowers. The other remaining members were positioned behind the guild officials as they drew their weapons out. “What are those?” Jie asked Kafle. “That's Aguanum, the basic defense for fire magic. I'll teach you that when I'm released from the impeding sha
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 28 – Banquet
THE rear palace was lively when the night of the banquet came. Royalties coming from the seven houses were invited. These were the influential families who had been great supporters of the empire. They were wealthy merchants and powerful wizards. Ryker represented the House of Vaughn. Although his name always stirred in the Vatre Empire, they could not ignore him since he had the highest magical orb produced. Those were essential for Ankhe City to thrive in comfortable weather. Even at a young age, he had shown everyone what he was capable of. As Ryker entered the rear palace, he immediately scanned every face present there. However, his companions couldn’t hide the excitement in their eyes—Bryce and Ethros, who were positioned behind him. Lucius was on his side, and Damien was on the other. He only kept a few so they wouldn’t attract attention, unlike other aristocrats, who had at least ten chaperones. “Behave yourselves.” Ryker reminded the two. “Apologies, my lord.” Bryce ra

AS A young man, Jie’s body reacted when the princess started tempting him. But he was old enough to restrain himself. He inhabited a seventeen-year-old body, and taking advantage of the situation could get him killed.Jie stayed focused and looked at the situation positively, letting the princess’ aggressive hands linger on his neck. He felt her warmth, yet he firmly stood his ground.“Tell me what you want, I’ll gladly give it to you.” She teased him even more.“I have questions,” he swallowed hard. Knowing the next words he’d say could alert her and get him decapitated.“Spill it!” She bit her lower lip.“Is it true that the high mage’s tower is impregnable?” He prayed that the princess would stay under the influence of alcohol.She paused. Jie’s heartbeat pounded, but he breathed in relief when Princess Tzeitel giggled.“Are you interested in the Luominen, too?”Jie cleared his throat. “I'm just curious.”“Don’t even think about it. Would you believe that even a royal like me is fo

CRISTON’S dumbfounded expression turned into awe as a series of flickering blue lightning countered the attackers. It was not long until it was revealed that a platoon of military elves consisting mainly of mages was positioned in proximity of the border for defense.“Indeed, the military might of the Southern Hanum is state of the art. Look at that? In just a blink, the aggressors retreated. That’s the famous Starlight Regiment, stationed on the borders. Their sole task is to kill all enemies on sight.” Xylas shook his head as he chuckled, and he added, “General Ibri is surely ruthless. Rumors had been circulating that he secretly trained private elite armies of mages defying the order of the late queen.”“That’s why Advani remained untouched. General Ibri is the head of the war council after all. The Supreme General of Hanum. We’re lucky; even though they vetted on us, General Mord did everything so we could have easy access in this territory.” Criston stared at the magnificent view

ON THE rocky shore of West Advani, Pearlie crawled with her severely injured body while carrying Nyssa on her back, while Damien remained unconscious near them. The huge waves had helped them reach the island.The dawn was breaking, but the sounds of the night insects could be heard around, along with the turbulent splash of the waves and lightning piercing from the sky.“We are safe now.” Her tears kept falling from her eyes and turned into pearls as she recalled Tiedus’ heroic sacrifice for everyone to reach the shore of Advani.“Captain, wake up. We’re here,” Pearlie whispered through her dried throat. She felt her body was on fire.Pearlie fought hard not to lose consciousness, knowing they might meet their demise with the wild animals around if no one could rescue them. Fortunately, as her vision started to get blurred, she witnessed two gigantic birds—a falcon and a raven hovering above them.“It’s them!” said the man riding the giant falcon.

AS TZEITEL scurried to return to her villa to check on Izvern, she was not expecting to see his brother waiting on the entrance without his usual two guards. Agni seemed agitated.“Brother, what are you doing here? I thought you left since I haven’t seen you in the banquet hall.” She turned to her ladies-in-waiting behind her, headed by Marina. “Leave us. I need some time alone with my seventh brother.”“Yes, Princess.” Marina stepped back before she turned along with the other four maids.“What are you up to?” Agni stared at her eyes as if he saw through there the dangerous things she did.Tzeitel looked down. “What do you mean? Come in. So many prying eyes around.”“Do you think I will not notice how restless the imperial armies are around the estate?

The noble feast was held a day before the wedding, and several members of the imperial family had come to Kaitseri, including King Malik.Princess Tzeitel pretended to warmly welcome her family. Her two older sisters came to her just to assert their dominance since, just like her, they were married off to the powerful families to support the empire.“I can’t believe our youngest legitimate sister is getting married now,” Princess Gweyr giggled. She was the first princess. She came along with their second sister, Princess Eletha.They were in the receiving hall, and all the ladies from aristocratic families had gathered there, and some of them showcased their music skills.

SURV Elsher gathered all the members of the family in the private hall of his residence to discuss their current dilemma. His old face was fuming in anger and scolding everyone.“Father, calm down!” Lord Filus tried to pacify the Elsher patriarch. “It already happened. An ordinary person could not even set foot in this estate, let alone abduct our source of healing power.”“What are you trying to say, Filus? If you were not so lax around here, this would not have happened!” Surv pointed his finger to his eldest son. “If that creature managed to return to Hanum, how would we answer to the empire?”“We control a military might in the North, we have the strongest armies. Who would dare to provoke us? I heard the intruder used an advanced technique of portal magic. Only Iridessa is capable of doing it.” Lord Filus sounded calm.Surv gritted his teeth. “A mere rebel dared to trespa

TZEITEL observed the three of the Elsher siblings gathered in the courtyard of the main house, drinking in celebration for the upcoming wedding, which would be held in two days. Using her portal magic, she could hear their conversation from a distance. Hidden on the roof of her villa, she prepared to return to the forbidden dungeon.“How’s the feeling of tying the knot, little brother? I heard Grandfather punished you the other day for having a tryst with your lover. How brave you are to disobey our elders while you're with the third imperial princess!” Fenton laughed as he teased Cariux. He raised his wine glass and clicked it to Halix’s glass.Halix chuckled upon hearing the words of their oldest brother. “I can’t believe you’re this immature, brother. You're carrying this duty, a task specifically given to you. You can’t mess this up.”Cariux chugged his wine. “Am I not fulfilling my du

TIEDUS reinforced the water bubble while Pearlie tended to Damien, who was still unconscious. They were traveling southward, holding out not to use their last resort to swim, as it could easily lead to their demise. “Captain Winward will kill us if he finds out we left the lieutenant to die,” Pearlie’s body trembled, remembering Hisila’s sacrifice. “The dead will remain dead. Why would we drown ourselves in regret? It’s useless! This is war, Princess. Thousands of lives will be the collateral. And now we have no choice but to cross the Lightning Sea. Maybe it’ll be our turn to die next.”“I know,” Pearlie gazed down. “Perhaps I’m too young to understand these things.”“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you reach Advani safely.” Tiedus strengthened his resolve, knowing the very low probability of survival. Crossing the Lightning Sea was a suicide.The water bubble came to a halt for a moment as they witnessed the sudden change of turbulent rift in the water from a distance. The roar of thu

Chapter 93 – Farewell To A Comrade
BAHARINI quickly checked Hisila’s pulse, praying that she could feel even a faint throb, but there was none. It was difficult for her to accept that the lieutenant had already passed away. Silently, she blamed herself for her immaturity; had she heeded Kafle's advice to avoid wasting time in the pit, she might have avoided capture. This tragedy may not have fallen on Hisila if they had followed their plan.“She’s gone,” Baharini’s voice cracked. “It's my fault.”Kafle did not say a word. He looked around to check if he could find Damien and the others, but they weren't there. “We need to keep going,” Kafle said as his face was void of expression. Baharini turned to wipe her tears. She gazed down at Ethros, who seemed frozen on the ground. “Can we give her a proper send-off?” The princess suggested. “I'm afraid we don't have time. Our enemies are approaching. I can't risk your life.” Kafle had to make a hard choice, knowing time was of the essence.Jie finally came to his senses. H

ISLAND OF ASTRAEAIRIDESSA kept pointing to the island of Kaitseri on the map as she conversed with her deputy chief inside the war room. They had just finished discussing war strategies with other officials a while ago since the grand fleet of the Empire initiated an attack on the West Astraean shore.“Aren’t you worried we might lose this main base?” Nacht mused. He crossed his arms as he studied the cold expression of the liberalist chief.“You’re not helping, Nacht.” Iridessa heaved a sigh.“Take it easy, Chief. We’ll find a way to save your adoptive daughter.” Nacht teased her again.Iridessa rolled his eyes. “Tzeitel can fend on her own. I’m just waiting for her report.”“Her wedding is approaching. With the Elshers keeping her hostage, how can we guarantee her safety?”Iridessa scoffed. “Worry about your kids, Nacht. If you are not too foo
