THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 25 – Blood Pact
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
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 29 – Crucial Information
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
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 30 – Death Horde
THE light mood inside the silver house suddenly turned tense when Lucius came in a hurry. It was already past midnight. All of them were in the library except Krecia, who had already left earlier that day. They were discussing their upcoming plans for their journey to Cape Madura when they were interrupted.“My lord, I just received news from our network in Herex, the empire decreed a Death Horde in the Aolien Village, and soldiers are already approaching. Semme accused them of supporting the insurgents.” Lucius looked worried.Jie didn’t know what was going on. Every ear was alert to Lucius’ words. Ryker seemed to be the most affected among them. He got up to face his attendant.“Lucius, are you certain? A death horde is the harshest punishment given to a certain village.”“I couldn’t be wrong. Some of the guild members are there.” Lucius was turning pale.“So, the death hor
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 31 – Blood Manipulation
“WHO is that?” Jie asked, looking at the old man in a handcuff.“Based on the crest in his clothing, he must be Magistrate Golvig.”“I see. I hope nothing bad happens to him.”Damien heaved a sigh. “I highly doubt it.”Jie silently followed Damien as they made their way to the public square, where Mareo was mercilessly killed. They crouched and hid at the base of the ledge of the fountain.“Goodness gracious! What did he exactly do to be punished that way?” Jie immediately shifted his gaze since he couldn't let himself stare at the gore.“The empire had the most severe punishment for treason. Look around you; even the villagers who had nothing to do with Mareo are brutally murdered.”At a distance, when the commander motioned his hand up to the dragon riders hovering above, the monsters suddenly halted their onslaught.The magical leash mounted on every monster’s neck glinted as it served as the controller for their movements. The beasts around them paused and remained still, as if in
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 32 – Pledge
DAWN was approaching, and Jie shivered in the sudden gush of cold wind. There was a blackout in his mind again that he could not recall after chanting the Mizuagua Conjuration for the second time. He was perplexed as to why this was always happening to him.“Oh, please. Not now.” Jie blinked hard when his eyes slowly became blurred. He fought hard not to lose consciousness.Ryker ordered his men to disperse after ensuring all the survivors were retrieved.Liv was still silent, trying not to shed tears again. Magistrate Golvig was always beside her and always motivating her, even though the old man also needed urgent medical care.“Magistrate, the burn marks on your face must have hurt a lot,” Damien said. He used his earth magic to produce an herb and carefully rubbed it on the magistrate’s burned cheek. “This is just first aid. You’ll need a skilled healer since this wound might be infected if left untreated.”“This is nothing compared to the lives we lost here.” Golvig gazed down.W

Chapter 109 – Healed
IN Monte Peak, Princess Baharini requested Elder Chen to see Nyssa. The child was left in isolation to recover as she was battling with a severe traumatic experience.“Elder Chen, I can’t thank you enough for removing the shackle curse on me and Kafle. I have a favor to ask. May I see Nyssa? I need to talk to her,” Baharini said as she was on the balcony of the Great Healer’s residence. There was a heavy blizzard outside, and the house was protected by a thin shield preventing the snow from getting in. “She needs to recuperate. Although the curse had been lifted from her body, there’s a type of pain in her heart that I couldn’t heal. She kept looking for her brother, but I heard the Supreme General gave him a special task before he could visit.” Elder Chen poured hot tea into two crystal cups. He offered one to the princess, to which the latter accepted.Elder Chen continued to talk. “Although Nyssa could visit the Nefth Fortress along with the Knights of Terra, it's unsafe to do so.
Chapter 108 – Conditions
JIE took a week to finally recuperate with the aid of Keeva’s healing magic that sped up his recovery. And with his current health condition, he could escape the fortress with ease. But Jie was not that ungrateful. “Now is the time. The supreme general summoned you,” Keeva said upon entering his room. She deactivated the healing barrier.Jie stretched out his hands and body to ensure nothing was wrong. Indeed, he was feeling better. He was in the hallway with Keeva, and they were escorted by two armored soldiers going to the war room where General Ibri spent most of his time.The soldiers saluted the supreme general, and they were immediately dismissed along with Keeva.“How do you feel now?” General Ibri asked without looking at him. He was busy scrutinizing a map on the table. It appeared like a colorful hologram.Jie strolled near him and cleared his throat before answering. “Better now. Thanks for looking out for me.”“That certainly isn’t free.” General Ibri chuckled. He finall
Chapter 107 – Outside Forces
PRINCESS Tzeitel combined her fire manipulation technique with illusion magic to imitate the dark flame. Although her flame was lethal, it was not as destructive as the dark flame.She was just buying time to crack the barrier so they could get out, but the numbers of enemies attacking them were too much for her to handle.“I will never forgive the Elshers! All of you shall perish with me!” Tzeitel maintained his act of being possessed. As she kept attacking and defending without moving in her position since she was ensuring Izvern’s balance.She talked again in their mind link. “There are too many. We are running out of time.”But there was no response.Tzeitel released a significant amount of her mana to suppress the soldiers, who were already advanced. Fenton and Halix created a formation to trap them. It was not long before Lord Filus arrived; he summoned a fire net made of volcanic ash. Tzeitel and Izvern were caught. The princess tried to create an exit portal to escape, but th
Chapter 106 – Hostage
TZEITEL jumped from one portal to another along with her captor. Her face remained stern, but her senses were keen as they made progress going away from the castle.Soon the face of the elf changed after he removed his dark cloak. It was Agni, using an advanced level of imitation charm. Although it did not last long since it was mana-consuming.“This plan is too risky. What if your aides disobeyed you?” Agni blurted out. He switched the elf’s body with his, all according to his sister’s plan. “Princeling is dying, by the way. I hope he can make it out of the barrier alive.”Agni gave the blade to Tzeitel. The latter tightly held on to her brother’s arm as they progressed in running away.“Worry about yourself. You need to return quickly to avoid suspicion.” Tzeitel was confident about her plan. “I’m waiting for reinforcement. All we need to do is get out the barrier.”Agni clicked his tongue. “I thought you’d kill the youngest son. Why did you change your mind?”“I gave him another ch
Chapter 105 – Wedding Night
TZEITEL finally came into the bridal chamber. She sat on the bed and waited for her husband to come inside. The festive music from the banquet hall was faint, as the chamber was located at the back of the castle, surrounded by the lake.The place was surely romantic as luminous pink butterflies flew above the water and the bright full moon reflected on its calm surface.In Tzeitel’s mind, she was waiting for the signal from Agni. He should be done with his plan by now. However, before she could make a move, Cariux came in the bridal chamber drunk.“Oh, the princess is still awake, and she seems to be waiting for me. It’s already past midnight.” Lord Cariux sat beside her on the bed.“It’s our wedding night, Lord Cariux.” Tzeitel kept her head straight without looking at him. She patiently waited to see whether Cariux would make the move of ending her life on their wedding night. Once he did not hesitate to to the deed, she would not spare him. “Yes, our wedding night!” Cariux chuckl
Chapter 104 – Ceremony
THE wedding march started at dusk. Tzeitel and Cariux wore their bright red with intricate gold pattern clothing as their wedding dress. Their crowns were blazing red flame, and they looked perfect as a couple.As expected, there were representatives from all the powerful houses and royal families to witness such union. Tzeitel remained calm as her face was covered by a gold veil.Cariux walked on the long aisle of the Elsher Castle along with Lord Filus and Lady Hamia. They stopped midway to wait for the bride.King Malik walked with Tzeitel. He kept reminding her to behave as he knew how she hated the marriage alliance.“If you mess this up, I will kill you,” King Malik whispered as he pretended to fix her wedding veil.“Don’t worry, brother. I will not disappoint.” Tzeitel grinned wryly as everything was already set in motion.Thousands of red rose petals rained as dragon chariots hovered in the sky, scattering the flowers.When the bridal procession reached Cariux and his parents,
Chapter 103 – Second Master
JIE was so puzzled by what was going on, especially when Ryker spoke again.“I shall take my leave, General Ibri.” Ryker bowed down to the elf general’s presence, then he looked at Ethros. “He is at your disposal now.”General Ibri nodded. “See you in the next war council meeting, Lord Vaughn.”“Ryker! What are to doing?” Jie was too stunned to hear Ryker. Did he betray him? Why it seems he was sold off to the supreme general?“This is for your own good, Ethros. Let’s see each other again in the imperial city,” Ryker smirked. He turned his back and did not look back.Jie’s knees wobbled as he tried to get up. He pointed his bamboo sticks at the elf. “What do you want?”“Guards!” General Ibri called out. The armored elf guards suddenly barged in. Two of them apprehended Jie.“Recuperate. Then we shall di
Chapter 102 – Supreme General
THE massive iron gate that served as the entrance to Nefth Fortress immediately opened as soon as Ryker showed the card of his identification—a medium-size blue rectangular thin crystal with an insignia of the War Council.“Hey, are you sure they are safe?” Jie was getting impatient because Ryker kept ignoring his question. “If something happened to Kafle and the princess. I will not forgive you!”“If I were you, Ethros, I’d shut my mouth. Nefth is the largest military camp in Advani, they can hear you. And with your current state, I doubt if you’ll survive even their lightest military punishment.” Ryker motioned his hand to hasten the speed of the six cloaked figures carrying Jie with the magic circle formation.“Can we just go to my sister? Why do I need to meet the supreme general?”“It would be rude if you don’t make an effort to meet him. Or would you rather r
Chapter 101 – Out of Control
JIE effortlessly shielded himself with his blue flame, while his two sticks gave out fatal attacks using a simple trick of Mizuagua Conjuration. The water magic perfectly balanced his defense. “I have no time for small fries!” Jie widened the reach of his blue flame, creating an opening enough for him to jump from one dragon to another towards the net where his companions were confined. There were too many imperial soldiers, and it seemed he underestimated the situation just because he could conjure an advance level of fire techniques. “Endure a little more; I’ll get rid of them!” Jie shouted. Kafle had once mentioned about the weakness of their kind—nets made of volcanic ash. Lefyr might survive the capture since he was not under the curse, but the princess and Kafle might not hold out for long.He chanted a complicated fire spell to summon his black flame. Jie did not hesitate to use it. The dark flame formed a peculiar type of dragon with blazing red eyes. “Kill!” Jie ordered.
