“We are not safe here. I’m sure by now General Lapu has already tracked us,” Tiedus said as soon as he entered the bubble.
Pearlie nodded her head and gazed up at Gilea. “I think we should be continuing our journey. If I stay longer, I’ll put everyone in danger.”
“I understand. Be careful, Pearlie. Wilkina will do everything to get your head. Especially now that she learned you’re still alive.”
“I’m grown up. My power is strongest in the water. We will be fine.” Pearlie sounded confident.
Meanwhile, Izora, who had never spoken a single word since their dive into Azuria, maintained her sitting position as if in deep meditation.
“They are all over the Azurian waters. There’s no way of resurfacing without getting cau

PEARLIE immediately created a huge water bubble so everyone could stand on a dry surface.Jie gazed at Tiedus upon hearing about his plan. “That’s too harsh. They are still your kind!”“Don’t do this, Tiedus. If only they were not under the queen’s spell, they wouldn’t be doing this.” Pearlie tried to pull Tiedus closer.“You have been away for a long time, Princess. These mermen killed their own, and they all deserve a horrible death!”General Lapu cackled loudly, hearing their disagreements. “Argue all you want; you’ll die here anyway.”Everyone fell silent when Izora spoke, despite the tension. “I don’t think genocide is the answer, General Tiedus. We’ve lost a lot of our kind, enough of the killings.”General Lapu’s eyes narrowed as he heard a child’s voice. “And who is that little gremlin? Why are you hiding behind these adults? Ah, perhaps you’re afraid to die first.”“I’ve experienced a lot more than death!” Izora did not hesitate to grab Xiru and play it. The sound created was
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 71 – The Gate
THE hardened bubble broke into pieces, and the rocky shore of Yuva greeted them. When the air swooshed, it gave them a chill down their bones. The night sky was so dark because thick clouds covered the moon. “Wow, I can’t believe we traveled this fast to reach this island. The temperature is so cold! I’m used to the tropical weather in Glana.” Hisila expressed her astonishment, and she added, “And look at the misty border of Hanum. Once we cross it, we'll reach the peninsula and enter Mora. By the way, is there a way for us to go directly to Firth?” Kafle shook his head. “Approaching Firth in this condition is like giving away our lives.” “I understand.” Hisila smiled meekly. She only thought about it because Hanum’s land was a crescent shape, and Firth City was a small island in the center. “That's one hell of a fog. I bet visibility is compromised if we get through it.” Jie studied the long stretch of heavy mist covering the sea, preventing them from seeing the horizon. He ev
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 72 – True Form
PEARLIE and Tiedus quickly manipulated the air bubble to break into pieces as soon as their safety was guaranteed after the gate closed in the passageway. Blue runes suddenly appeared, glowing at the back of the entrance—a sign that only a certain person with distinct blood could open it.“How is Izora?” Jie peeked at the face of the little elf, who was starting to get pale and breathing unevenly.“Getting worse.” Kafle exhaled sharply.As they strolled the long and winding underwater alley, the wall gleamed in blue light. It was a series of fish patterns that would be activated when someone was there to give direction and lighting.“I never knew this place existed. I’ve been in Hanum almost my entire life.” Bucca held the patterns on the wall before he gazed at Kafle with a dumbfounded face. “Unless you are a—”“Walk faster.” Kafle immediately interrupted him, obviously avoiding Bucca’s inquiries.Jie had witnessed Kafle’s sudden change of expression. He knew he was hiding something,
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 73 – Ardhians: Under Siege!
NIRVANA METROPOLIS THE second full moon had brought panic to the remaining Ardhians on the surface. Aelec and the hunting team ensured the safety of their people when Ethros and Nyssa were taken away. It had been months since they left, and they had no way of knowing if they were safe. All of them would be forever stuck on the island, isolated from the rest of the world. “We are under attack!” Finn came running from the wooden watchtower they made a few days ago. “The enemies have come back!” “Everyone, hide back in the cave!” Alec ordered. “I know they'll return. What do they want from us?” Kali gritted her teeth as she helped the people hide. “We can't go back underground now. The monsters will feast on us, and this time I’m sure our people will be extinct.” “A swarm of dragon riders, just like before. What are we going to do, Chief? We can't fight back. We're just too few.” Finn held his bow tight. “First, we need to ensure the safety of the kids. You, Kali, and Amri, secure F
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 74 – Hidden Power
TARIAN attempted to attack using a dagger, but Jaeger stopped her. “Hold your ass, Tarian! Didn’t you see what happened to Aelec? I can’t deal with another corpse!”Tarian wept, looking at Aelec lying motionless. “How can you stand still when Aelec is killed before your eyes?”Jaeger held onto his weapon tightly. He breathed in and out repeatedly to control himself. Because, like Aelec, he was willing to sacrifice his life for his people. But he could not be this careless, especially since Aelec had left him with the burden of looking after the surviving Ardhians. He couldn't believe Aelec would trust a nobody like him. He was just a simple villager in Ardhi, but he could not stand this kind of persecution from their former leader.“This is not the time for that, Tarian. Can't you see we're surrounded?” Jaeger motioned his head to the men behind him to give up. Everyone lowered their weapons. Saxan chortled. “Good, you made the right decision. Your lives are all spared. Well, I heard
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 75 – Tale of Hanum
IT CAME as a shock to Jie to watch all his companions pay their respects to the female elf meditating under the moon’s light below the altar. The crest of the royal family, which was an intricate pattern of a silver dragon, gleamed steadily.“Wait, Grandma? Is that your true form? But how?” No words could ever describe how perplexed he was. Realizing that Izora was a princess was so mind-blowing. Not just any princess, but the sole surviving royalty of Hanum!“All of you may raise your heads.” The princess's voice was soothing in Jie’s ears. She met his gaze afterward. “Yes, brat. I was forced to take that child form when my mother was murdered. I am Princess Baharini, and I will reclaim Hanum from the empire!”Jie felt a shiver down his spine when the princess declared it. Although it wouldn’t be easy, he admired her tenacity.“Wait, you being the princess of Hanum…” He stopped midsentence, trying to grasp the idea, “Then that makes you the holder of the Agua! Isn’t it?” Jie’s eyes w
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 76 – Avancie
THE delegates from the two kingdoms gathered in the Winter Palace of Firth. The security was tight because the aristocrats and royals present in the Avancie were the lifeblood of the Learaf archipelago.King Malik, who had just been crowned after his elder brother’s demise, spearheaded the long processions of royals on the thick blue carpet going to the palace. Behind him were the representatives of all seven houses of Vatre.“Why can I see only six flags here? Who dares not attend the Avancie, knowing it’s the most important event of the Imperium?” King Malik whispered to General Drax beside him.“The House of Vaughn unfortunately cannot attend. I confirmed that an unknown plague hit their estate. It could be contagious, Your Majesty. It’s better to take extra precautions.” The general thought was that the king would not notice because there were a lot of delegates. But his keen eyes did not miss a thing.“House of Vaughn...” King Malik muttered. He heaved a deep sigh afterward. “Wel
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 77 – Vanish
“KAFLE, we need to return to the palace!” Princess Baharini clasped her crystal flute tightly. He was looking at the vast sea, going in the direction of Firth. But the thick fog hindered her elf's sight. Kafle refused to look back. “We can't do that, Princess. Your mother had meticulously planned this for your safety.”“How can we cross that fleet? We'll be slaughtered like they hunt a whale in the sea!”“I am strong enough to get us through. We'll get to Mora unscathed.” Kafle sounded confident. He knew his power was at its strongest when he was in touch with the water. And with the surrounding ocean, he could weaponize it.“No, I can't let them harm my mother!” She gazed around. “I can't believe they put down thousands of our warriors securing Firth! My sense of smell is so strong that I know the blood of our kind has been spilled on this water.”“And that's one of the reasons why you need to survive, Princess. Firth is surrounded, and who knows what type of sorcery they did to eli

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.
