THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 86 – House of Elsher
TZEITEL kept silent as the dragon procession from Ankhe to Kaitseri took place. Not long before the golden chariot landed on the island of rich Kaitserian soil in North Vatre, she had many companions, but as they slowly approached the Elsher Castle, Princess Tzeitel felt like it was a death march.“Princess…” the voice of her lady-in-waiting made her blink twice for being too preoccupied. She paused for a long time a few meters away from the castle.“I’m all right, Marina,” the princess dismissed her.She had been delaying her travel to Kaitseri, knowing it could be her death sentence since her betrothal to one of the heirs of the House Elsher.Tzeitel took a deep breath as she found the courage to step closer. She thought of Iridessa. Her comforting words were enough to toughen her up, as this union might obstruct her goal of obtaining the imperial throne.“The imperial princess has arrived!” a middle-aged man announced beside the gate. Based on the crest on his copper-colored unifor
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 87 – Forbidden Dungeon
THE princess awakened the following day with a subtle knock on her door. She stretched her hand and immediately got up.“Come in!”Marina got inside, holding a tray with a cup of tea. “Good morning, Princess! Here’s your favorite floral tea.”“Thank you, Marina. Please put it there. What’s for today?”Marina put the tray on the bedside table. Her eyes twinkled in enthusiasm. “Lord Cariux is waiting outside. He’s elated to be with you to venture into Elsher Estate.”Tzeitel scoffed. “Elated, my foot.”Marina was shocked to hear her utter those words. “Is something wrong?”“Nothing, Marina. I’ll be out in a while.”“Yes, Princess.” Marina excused herself.Cariux appeared in a good mood while waiting in the hall near Princess Tzeitel’s room. The princess smiled radiantly in return as she greeted him despite what she had witnessed last night. The last thing she’d do is let them know about her hidden agenda in the Elsher Estate.“Your beauty shines brightly today, Princess Tzeitel,” Cariux
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 88 – Divided
JIE quickly questioned the twins and inspected their injuries. “Where did they take the princess?”“Our brother is tracking her. We’ll wait for his signal,” Delaina said. She grimaced in pain as Hisila tended to her open wounds.“Tell me about these Visagus monsters.” Jie clenched his fists. There was a feeling of guilt inside him because his team was sidetracked from saving Cirdan and obtaining the Rahai Orb. However, blaming himself wouldn't help, as everything had already happened. All he needed to do was find a solution. He was torn because Nyssa also needed urgent care, or else she would perish for good.“A Visagus can morph into their victims' bodies and steal their identity and powers. You never heard of it, Ethros?” Pearlie was curious.“It’s new to me. The monsters on my island are far different.” He heaved a sigh. “What signal are we waiting for?”“A gold flare that only Delaina and I could see,” Deirdre said.“We’ll wait then,” Damien said, turning to Tiedus. “General Tiedu
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 89 – A Warning
AS SOON as the stranger grabbed Jie and materialized on the highest peak, leaving the twins behind, he felt a sense of relief. The first thing he saw was Princess Baharini, she was helplessly sitting on the ground, bound by a golden, intricate magic circle. “Princess!” Jie’s eyes widened. But just like her, the elf bound him in a magic circle, preventing him from moving.Jie tried to summon his hellfire but it appeared that his power was sealed, and he couldn’t do anything to help.“Brat…” The princess forced herself to break free, but all this led to futility. The female elf let out a sinister laugh that echoed around. “Stop resisting. Otherwise, it will quickly drain your magical core. Don't worry, I have no plan to kill you since fate has already decided the outcome of your destiny.”“I will never die!” Baharini looked at the female elf with disdain.“I am Vefretta, your kind call me a witch, but I’m immortal cast out in this realm. My prophecy had always been faultless. I brough
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 90 – Always A Soldier
DAMIEN used all his remaining energy to the point of exhaustion in order to travel nonstop to Magelia. He vowed to safeguard Nyssa at all costs.“Captain, how long do you think we could return to Terra?” Hisila queried as they rested in an isolated cave to replenish their energy.“Would you like to return now, Lieutenant? It's beneficial to meet General Mord and report to him in person.” Damien smiled slightly and sighed afterward. “I'm not sure if we can return with the Luominen safely in this dire situation. We can’t even resort to air travel now that several dragons are hovering in the sky. I can’t sacrifice the lives of the Knights of Terra if I were to call for reinforcement.”“I'll stay with you. I will protect the Luominen with my life.” Hisila’s lips curled up. “Somehow I feel at ease knowing we have our mother orb now.”“I hope we'll get there on tim
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 91 – The Snow-Haired Captive
PRINCESS Tzeitel was restless as soon as she returned to her room. She kept walking back and forth, thinking about the snow-haired elf trapped in the forbidden dungeon.“Who is he?” She mumbled. The question preoccupied her mind. Despite her reluctance to make a snap judgment, she inferred from the elf's hair color that he belonged to a Hanum royal family.I need to know who he is, she thought.Tzeitel sat on her bed. She only had a few days left before the wedding. If she wanted to help the elf escape, she must do it now. However, considering how tight the security in the Elsher Estatewas, it may be impossible for her to do it without compromising her identity. Worse, she couldn’t return to the imperial city alive.The next morning, Cariux picked her up again. He was waiting outside the villa holding a bouquet of fresh flowers.“For you,” Cariux said, smiling ear to ear, especially when he
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS 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
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS 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 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.
