After that, Cassandra quietly followed me as I searched for Difar.I felt as if my heart had truly become cold.Isabella had forgotten me...I couldn't blame her...but I didn't want to have her around anymore.She only caused me pain...I would look forward into the future from now on. I would face my enemies and destroy them all.Currently, my goal was to regain my lost strength and become even stronger.I would need to murder Tyranus, first.Then, once the false wielder had been eliminated, I would go to Ignitus and have Iris make Cassandra and I into Enforcers.Lastly, I needed to visit Delvandal and have Vakra implant me with the Heart of the World. I wanted to avoid getting the Heart of the Sky if at all possible...That one could stay in Jin's tomb and rot, for all I cared.Instead, I would see if the Heart of the Deep could work on Cassandra.I would need Leiso to help kill the guardian. If not, I would still find a way.Or I could have Valthiem eat it, hopefully.As I walked,
After Isabella had returned from her horrifying trip to the border, the first thing she did was get herself cleaned up.She threw away the clothes that she had soiled and silently cried her eyes out on her bed.She had never felt so humiliated in her life...That man who married her sister, Cassandra, had made her look like a fool.He commanded some kind of monster to devour her entire army in an instant. Including her caretaker and bodyguard, Walter Orthright.He had been like a loving uncle to her... Always watching over and protecting her.Walter was gone...and Mizik had uttered some strangely ominous words to her before he ordered the monster to gaze into Isabella's eyes.What she saw when she looked into that things eyes, could only be described as a place that felt like an endless chasm of nothingness.Isabella had never been so terrified in her life.She cursed the name Mizik Iratus as she cried silently to herself.In fact, she hadn't even informed anyone of her return.She wa
As Isabella walked into the place called 'The Sleeping Dragon Inn', she had only one goal in mind.Execute anyone and everyone with any links to the traitorous and evil hero Mizik Iratus.Currently, she wore the full suit of armor granted by her sword, Bravery. She held its shield at her side and wore a helmet that matched her armor to hide her face.A young and cheerful girl with brown hair approached with a smile."Welcome! My name is Aria! Can I get you a table?""Hello, Aria. I won't be needing a table. My name is Rose. There are two things I want, instead. The first, is information on a man named Mizik Iratus," Rose said."Oh! My nephew! He's my sister's son! Although she died a while ago... His father raised him into such a nice boy! Mizik came to visit here before he left to go marry Princess Cassandra. Is he doing well? We all miss him so much!" "He is a criminal who abducted Princess Cassandra and has killed hundreds of Albatross soldiers. He allied himself with an evil bein
Difar placed his hand on Extinction's blade."Valthiem, do me a favor and prevent those two from experiencing any...collateral damage..." Difar said calmly.We were suddenly surrounded by a field of Valthiem's power again.Difar's sword began glowing much more."Perhaps you'll enjoy the power of blast radius? Let's see how much you can take!!!" Difar said.He raised Extinction and brought it down over Rose.The resulting pillar of Corrupted power was enough to create a huge chasm where Rose had been standing.But she hadn't allowed it to hit her.She shot towards Difar and he was impacted by several streams of exploding light.Then I felt it...What once gave me courage and determination beyond anything else...Was now something horrible...I felt utter terror just looking at Rose.Her ability, Almighty Presence had activated."Damn it all... Curse you, Vakra... You created a damn monster!" I said."GAAAHHH!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?" Difar screamed.It seemed like her light magic had
When I looked around, I saw that the room was currently empty."Umm...is she away right now?" I asked."I don't know. Probably? But when she senses us, the goddess of washboards will likely come over like a good doggie," Difar said.Ignoring his comment, I walked over to one of the thrones and examined it.Not for any particular reason, of course. I was trying to pass the time.This was a restricted area and only high level Attendants and Enforcers were allowed this far up.The throne room was also usually only reserved for Enforcers and Enforcer candidates.Meaning that we wouldn't have to worry about the language barrier if we ran into someone.Cassandra, who had not taken her eyes off of me since we arrived, moved closer."Darling, can I have a kiss?" She asked hopefully.I kissed her and she smiled."Please don't start again. At least wait until I'm out of the room. Valthiem already told me what you were doing last night..." Difar said."What!? Was she spying on us!?" I asked."On
We walked into the meeting room from before and Difar had already pulled up a chair to sit in near the wall."Oh, good. You're here. And Dante hasn't executed you which means he trusts you. Cool. Now, I have some questions. Who are you, how do you know me, who is that asshole sitting in the chair, why does he terrify me so much, and what was that abomination hanging out next to him earlier?" Iris said.I cleared my throat."My name is Mizik and this is my wife Cassandra. I know you from a previous timeline, that asshole is Difar and he's an abyssal god. The abomination is Valthiem, the Avatar of the Void. She won't hurt anyone unless ordered to do so," I said."Umm...wow... I didn't actually expect you to be so compliant..." Iris said."I know better than to complicate things with you. If you want more info, I am...or was..." I straightened myself and saluted Iris using the traditional Enforcer stance. "Enforcer Seat 8, Mizik Iratus. Special Forces for the protection of Ignitus and he
Over the many years Vakra had spent on Delvandal, not once had he ever noticed anything like a significant temporal anomaly forcing things to revert several years.Not anything like Mizik had mentioned, anyway.So when Mizik took the Cursebreaker and its crew, he was mildly prepared for the possibility that Mizik could die and cause such an anomaly.However, Vakra also wondered why he had never felt such a thing before.After all, if this story was to be believed, Mizik had been killed at least a few times before. And the False Source of the Corruption that had recently infested their world seemed to confirm Vakra's theories with his way of speech.That the reset anomalies do not affect the whole of creation.Just the worlds affected by Corruption or Mizik's presence.So Vakra found it quite intriguing that shortly after the Cursebreaker left, he felt something.Vakra was highly attuned to the intricacies of time and space. As a literal walking and breathing paradox, he was well awar
Before I could react to Vakra floating before us, he shot forward and placed his hands on both mine and Cassandra's faces.In an instant, I felt my entire body shift and warp.I wanted to scream in pain, but I couldn't.It hurt, but it also felt very pleasant.As it went on, I began to have several very familiar feelings in my body...Then, everything came rushing towards me all at once. I saw my entire life flash before my eyes and finally hit the ground.When I opened my eyes, I immediately stood up and looked around.Vakra's skin melted off and he remained as a skeleton."Dammit... Oh well, at least I got here in time... Gah...that feels weird..." he said."Vakra...?" I said.I noticed that my voice sounded slightly deeper than normal and I looked at my hands.I saw the scars Cassandra had given me so long ago. And then I felt my power... The incredible beating heart of the world as well as my Ultra Aspects.Then Cassandra also stood up.She looked older as well. Around twenty-two,
