THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 35 – Cape Madura
WHEN the seven corpses in the sea resurfaced, Birsha, the guild master of the Black Destroyers was fuming in anger. He was at the Rigin Port searching as soon as his men did not return.“I knew this would happen.” Birsha hardly gripped the hilt of his sword as he checked if the culprit was still around.The sun was already up and there were fishermen around and some bystanders gossiping about the corpses found in the port. It was the first time for them to witness members of the Black Destroyers got murdered. As they were the strongest guild in Fernwick Province.“I can't believe we lost seven men in one night. They are the best in the field at that.” Birsha’s chest moved up and down. “Was I wrong to get the commission? We were told the targets were mere travelers. I should've double-checked.”Meanwhile, his other companion remained quiet as if contemplating how to calm his master whose hands still trembled in rage. He was Zimus, the guild’s second-in-command.The guild master breathe
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 36 – Aciedo River
“ETHROS, your stamina training will start now,” Damien said as he drew his long sword from its hilt. It was tied at the bottom of his rucksack bag.All of them wore a dark-hooded cloak carrying a full load since they had planned this expedition for fifteen days at most. If they failed to obtain the Orb of Oblivion, they'd return to Ankhe and formulate a new plan.“How can I do that?” Jie’s forehead crumpled. He was walking behind Damien, as everyone trekked using a torch light. “I want to be strong. I’m tired of passing out every time I use magic.”“For now, don't use magic unless it is needed. I'll use my sword to preserve my mana. Anything can happen; be ready.”“Understood.”Liv prepared her crossbow as she guided everyone. “Sheagan used to be lively twenty years ago. But when Taftani started dumping his failed experiments into the cape, it became uninhabitable for humans.”“What kinds of experiments?” Jie asked while still alert, anticipating if the beasts in hiding would attack t
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 37 – Night Flutters
JIE’S heartbeat became rapid as the flow of the acid river suddenly became turbulent. He started to concentrate, but he could not focus because he imagined himself falling into the purple water. “Hey, are you sure I’m safe? The acid level is rising!” he shouted. The three seemed to purposely ignore him as they enjoyed roasting meat on the fire. A protective invisible shield was put in for additional safety. “Are you saying something, Ethros? If I were you, I’d stay quiet. You’ll attract the night creatures here.” Damien gave him a furtive glance. Jie exhaled sharply to calm his nerves. Surely, they weren’t bullying him to make fun of him. He should believe that Damien was doing this for his own good. He’d show them he was up for the challenge. He sat still, breathing in and out. As he slowly closed his eyes, Jie tried his best not to get distracted. You need to stabilize your mana if you want to rescue Nyssa, he kept on reminding himself. As he finally reached tranquility in hi
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 38 – Zhuartan Labyrinth
JIE sat back on the stone amidst the acid river to rest. Constantly battling the Night Flutters made it difficult for him to regain his breath.“Is it safe for me to go there, right now? Can I rest?” Jie polled his companions.At that, Damien rose to his feet. “If you dare to cross the river on your way here, I guess you could rest.”Jie pursed his lips then he complained. “Oh, God! Damien, you are sick! You are trying to kill me, aren’t you? Weren’t those bats enough? I’m exhausted. My body needs a break.”“Aren’t you on a break now? Continue your meditation. You see? You didn’t faint this time after using a huge amount of mana.”Despite his extreme exhaustion, Jie was taken aback by the situation. Unlike before, he didn't feel lightheaded.“Your body is gradually adapting. Regardless, unless you cross the acid river going here, we’ll not leave.” Damien sat back.Liv seemed uncomfortable walking back and forth. “Captain, we have not discussed this delay. The Black Destroyers will cat
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 39 – Maze Ordeal
CRISTON breathed out in disbelief, watching Liv’s back. “Look at her, breaking the rule she just made.”“Strela!” Liv kept calling as if she were hypnotized.“Jesus Christ! Liv, don’t wander off!” Jie was horrified when Liv suddenly disappeared as the voices around them grew louder. He ran after her, but to his surprise, the wall behind him suddenly moved, blocking his way back to the group.Jie stepped on a brittle skeleton that made a crack. The lights emitting from the runes on the wall were enough for him to see his extensive enclosure full of human skulls!“Goodness gracious! That startled me,” Jie mumbled.In the other part of the passage, Damien called. “Where the hell did you go?”There was no response. Aside from the harrowing sound of screaming, the iron wall had no gap from top to bottom. Damien silently cursed, as he could not find traces of Ethros and Liv.“I’ll look for Liv, Captain,” Criston suggested.“Let’s split, I’ll find Ethros.” Damien strengthened his grip on his
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 40 – Litus Forest
THE hissing sound echoed in Jie’s ears. He remembered the ordeal of fighting the Serpentis with Liv; there were just too many as they got closer to the exit. The warm sunlight outside could be seen, and Jie knew they could make it out alive even if it took them the whole day to figure the passage out. Serpentis was a snake-like monster of varying sizes. Its onyx-colored scales were made of spikes, and it had small wings but was not capable of flying, yet it helped boost its speed. “This is... your fault!” Jie’s voice stuttered. He could see the dark figure staring at him. He knew that creature had something to do with his magic. When he failed to summon his weapon to change, the Serpentis bit him, almost causing him to lose his right leg. “Ethros! Ethros! Hold on!” Liv’s panicking voice resonated in his ears. Jie tried to reach out to the dark figure, but it was silent. He realized that his companions could not see the creature. “Who… are you? A wraith?” he asked again. But i
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 41 – Priestess of Light
A COZY breeze circulated the time-loop barrier. Unbeknownst to the outsiders, the forest inside had its own ecosystem that had thrived for two thousand years. “Is this heaven?” Jie muttered under his breath as he opened his eyes to the unfamiliar surroundings. He was leaning against the trunk of a large tree with purple leaves. The warm sunlight touched his face mixed with the cold mist. Did I die? He asked himself because he remembered being poisoned by the Serpentis near the labyrinth’s exit. He instantly gasped at the sight of a little girl's face staring down at him. She wore a light gray robe, carrying a brown satchel. “You’re awake!” the child exclaimed with a smile. “Who are you?” He sprang up. The searing pain in his right leg made him wince. He then assumed he was still alive. But why did it seem he was in paradise? “It’s been quite some time since I laid eyes on a human!” She pinched his cheek. “A real flesh indeed!” Giggles escaped the child's lips. She seemed delighte
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 42 – Time Loop
JIE was horrified about the difference in the flow of time. “That is not funny!”“To give you consolation, the time loop resets every one hundred twenty days. That is if I don't starve and eat your spirit.” Hamriel said it casually.“How long have you been here?” He asked even though he had no idea what a reset meant.“I lost count. All I know is that I've been alive for nearly five thousand years.” The priestess shrugged.“Five thousand years! Holy cow!” Jie turned his attention back to the child near him. “How about you, weakling?”“Me? I'm ten years old!” She showed all her fingers.“Ten? Why are you so small for your age? You're even smaller than my sister!”“Oh, that. I stopped aging a few years ago. I just counted the years even after I died.” She stood up and strolled near the priestess. “What are we g

Chapter 100 – Barrage
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

Chapter 99 – The Great Healer
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. It was Criston holding his golden gr

Chapter 98 – The Seventh Prince
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? I sneaked to the nearest military camp; everyone seemed to be in chaos searching for something. I know how schem

Chapter 97 – Noble Feast
DESPITE the current predicament of the Elsher Estate losing their precious captive, the marriage alliance between Cariux and the third princess still pushed through. 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. The festive sounds reverberated around.Eletha playfully touched Tzeitel’s hair. &ld

Chapter 96 – Predicament
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

Chapter 95 – Scheme
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

Chapter 94 – The Lightning Sea
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

Chapter 92 – The Liberalists
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
