2022-05-14 05:03:13Rhealis paused. She blinked a few times, then scowled. “Excuse me?” She asked, clearly confused.
“There is someone who we can’t wake up.” Kyle explained, assuming her confusion stemmed from the absurdity of that idea. “I believe he is the key to these tremors and the storms.”
The elf’s expression darkened. “You want my help to stop the tremors?” She asked, then suddenly laughed. “You are an interesting human, Summoner.”
Kyle shot her an odd look. “…Right.” He muttered, unsure of what exactly she found funny about all of this. “Can you help me?”
Rhealis nodded. “I can try,” She gestured him to lead the way. “Dream walking is dangerous, however. I cannot guarantee any results. Especially for the dreams of a human.”
Kyle’s lips curled up with a faint smile. “It’s not a human who is asleep still.” He said as they arrived before the fallen angel’s room. He pushed the doors open, revealing the sleeping angel on the bed. “It’s an angel.”

“No.” Kyle shook his head. “No, there is no other solution. We’ve already tried.” He took a deep breath. “Guide me to his dreams.” Rhealis paused for a moment. Her lips formed a bitter smile. “Very well.” She said with a gentle voice. “Come then.” She approached the couch leaning against the wall on the far side of the room. “Lay down.” Kyle took off his cloak and shoes, then laid down on the couch. “There are three things you must never forget.” Rhealis said as she crouched next to him. “One; everything you see is real. Two; do not trust your instincts. Three; remember your name.” She looked him in the eye. “Never, ever forget your name. Do you understand?” Kyle nodded. “Good. Now, I can guide you to the Celestial Plane, but only so far. Once you are there, you must hurry. Find the angel. Only one who resides in the Celestial Plane can let you out of there.” Kyle gulped. “Understood. How do I find the angel?” Rhealis u
The Lich's Master Chapter 132: A Realm Beyond Reason
He stepped closer to the entrance of the church, despite his instincts. Rhealis’ words were still fresh in his mind. “Do not trust your instincts!” She had warned him. His instincts were screaming at him to leave this place, to go as far away as he could. So, he decided to do the exact opposite of it. He was going to step into this weird, abnormal, wrong church and see what the hell was going on. As he stepped though the slightly open door, he noticed something at the corner of his eye – a crimson string, floating mid air to his left. His heart raced. That was Rhealis’ guidance! Was he getting closer to the fallen angel? He hastened his steps and hurried over to the crimson strand. As he reached to catch it, it split into many more strands of crimson, and circled around him. He watched as the crimson strands slowly left him behind, floating deeper into the church. He followed without question. His environment changed rapidly as soon
The Lich's Master Chapter 133: The Upside Down Cathedral
Now, Kyle hadn’t travelled very much in his normal life, back in the real world. He never had the funds or the opportunity. But, he always had some interest in architecture, and despite his lack of expertise in the subject, even he could tell what was wrong with the grand cathedral the crimson strands had brought him to. Normally, cathedrals didn’t stand on their roof. Kyle stared at the upside down cathedral for a solid minute as he tried to comprehend just how something like this could have even happened. There was no visible damage to the building, so it wasn’t like it had been turned upside down by some mysterious attack or something. It was perfectly undamaged, and just happened to be standing upside down. The roof was on the ground, and the foundation was in the air. “What the hell…” He muttered as he felt dizzy again. How? Why? What?! There was a perfectly placed stairway leading up to the entrance. Almost as if it had been made so the
The Lich's Master Chapter 134: The Angel of Many Voices
Kyle heard the sound of ruffling feathers behind him. His heart skipped a beat as he leapt back on his feet and turned towards the noise, only to see an angel floating just above ground before him. This angel almost seemed normal. It had the face of a man, a single pair of wings, and a book in his hands. His left eye was closed though, and he was staring at Kyle with his right eye, without blinking once. Kyle gulped as his heart raced. Now what? “A lost lamb, found its place to this place.” A mix of voices rose from the angel’s mouth. A woman’s voice, accompanied by a man’s and… Kyle didn’t even try to make sense of it. It was ear grating. “How interesting.” The angel added as it reached for Kyle with its empty hand. Kyle quickly stepped back. He was not going to let such a… weird thing touch him. “Do not escape from me, child. This is no place for human souls. You must return to your eternal rest now.” The angel insisted. “No, thanks.
The Lich's Master Chapter 135: Encased in Amber
As soon as the white light emanating from the angel touched his skin, he felt his strength rapidly drain away. Suddenly, just standing on his feet was a challenge. He grabbed onto the amber, right where he had scratched before with his spell.The smooth surface of the chunk of amber confused him for a moment. Had it fixed itself? Already?!“Now, let us see just how it is that a human soul has carried over his magic into the Celestial Plane.” The Angel muttered almost absentmindedly. Kyle gritted his teeth and pointed at the ground. “Sunburst!” he hissed as the angel approached him.A single spark of light appeared on the ground, where he was pointing, then, bright golden light pulsed outwards, spreading through the room. As soon as it touched the angel, it beat its wings and flew up.“Golden light – how disgusting and impure.” The angel said as it raised its hand. A bright light appeared in its palm, radiating wit
The Lich's Master Chapter 136: The Fallen Angel
The Cathedral was silent except for the gentle wind that ruffled the Fallen Angel’s feathers. The Fallen Angel stood there, one hand resting on the amber that had trapped Kyle in place. His faze lingered on the young man.Kyle gulped. He felt like his worth was being calculated. Was he worth freeing, or was he useless to the Fallen Angel? Normally, this would get on the young man’s nerves. Now though, his mind was filled with fear – with the fear of being trapped here forever.He felt like he would do anything to get out of here. Anything.“Tell me something, human.” The Fallen Angel leaned down, until his eyes were at the same level as Kyle’s. “What stops me from leaving you here right now?”Kyle’s eyes widened. “After I went into so much trouble to get you out of this?!” He punched the amber with his free hand. “The least you could do is get me out of here!” Why the hell were
The Lich's Master Chapter 137: Teardrop
The wind blew in his hair and ruffled the Fallen Angel’s feathers as they flew through the skies. Well, Azazel was doing the flying. He carried Kyle like he had no weight. The young man could do nothing but look around wide eyed. “I find it surprising,” The Fallen Angel’s voice sounded. “How did you even find me in this Plane?” He gestured towards the wide, chaotic environment. “Any mortal would get lost here.” “I had the dreamer’s guidance.” Kyle muttered. “It was still difficult to find you, I came across some really… weird beings.” The Fallen Angel had flown through the city, and then below it, so they hadn’t come across the gigantic beings that had watched Kyle through the last part of his trip. “What beings?” The Fallen Angel asked as they began their descent. “An eye with six wings, for example.” Kyle sheepishly replied. Was he being rude? He didn’t know what would set the Fallen Angel off. He wanted to stay on his good side until they were out
The Lich's Master Chapter 138: Shattered Mirror
Once again, during their flight, Kyle couldn’t help but be both amazed and terrified of this realm. He could see the gigantic higher beings floating in the air in the distance, and he also noticed Azazel careful steering clear of them.“Do not look of them for too long.” The Fallen Angel warned him. “Your mind… it may not be able to handle it.”Kyle shot the Fallen Angel a quick glance. “Really?” He muttered. “Ok…” he wanted to ask why, but he had long since decided to try and keep any communication to a minimum, so the Fallen Angel would get any angrier.“They are beyond mortals. Even normal angels fear them.”“You don’t?” Kyle asked.Azazel chuckled. “No, I don’t fear them. There are very few things I fear.” He almost absentmindedly said as they began their descent. As the four wings on his back beat rhythmically, Kyle noticed his h

The serene white light changed as soon as they stepped into the garden. It grew brighter, lighting up even the darkest corners of the garden. “Finally.” Azazel whispered. He calmly stepped towards the bright white light. “It’s been so long.” He and the rest of the group arrived before the tree. The Fallen Angel reached for the tree, only for his fingers to touch a barrier surrounding it. The yellow-brown barrier rippled as soon as the Fallen Angel’s fingertips touched it. Azazel flinched, and pulled his hand back as a look of disgust appeared on his face. With furrowed brows and blazing eyes, he turned around, and shouted at the top of his lungs. “Show yourself, Demon!” Droigheann flinched. “He’s here?!” The Demon of the Nightbloom asked wide eyed as he unsheathed his blade, and put his helmet on without hesitation. Luke stepped forward, making sure to stand in front of Caille and Kyle. Igna tightened her grip on the hilt of her blade, while Cacophus’s bony fingers rummaged through
Chapter 276: The Ancient City of Necron (4)
The fully armoured knight dropped his sword and tried to grab the slimy goo with both of his hands. The goo only latched onto his helmet further as he struggled. The man started to stumble a few moments later.Kyle couldn’t help but laugh a little, though his near brush against death kept him from enjoying Jeffrey’s suffering. The knight soon managed to grab onto the goo properly, and threw it away, only to be met with Kyle’s light magic.“Bolt of Light!” The young man shouted, then as the Knight raised his hand to cover his eyes from the bright golden light, he dashed towards him, blade in hand. He hadn’t used a sword properly in ages, not since he’d gotten his Summoner class, and started summoning powerful people such as Aoris, or Irena. But Aoris and Irena were busy protecting the cathedral, and Droigheann had his hands full with the remaining group of enemies.And he had a particular hatred against Jeffrey and his constant stupidity. He grabbed the hilt of his blade with both his

“Oh for fuck’s sake.” Kyle rolled his eyes as the enemy charged at him and his allies. Jeffrey’s ridiculous accusations and ignorant behaviour was the last thing he needed at the moment.Droigheann unsheathed his blade and struck the ground with it. Black veins spread across the grey marble plaza, originating from his blade. They leapt off the ground, reaching for Jeffrey and his allies.“Fire storm!” A voice boomed. Kyle flinched as a whirling storm of flames burnt away the roots and veins. Droigheann gritted his teeth and removed his swords from the ground. “Damn mages,” The Demon grunted as he stepped forward. His helmet materialised in his hand, and he promptly put it on.“SHALL I DISPATCH OF THEM, KYLE?” Cacophus’ sudden question surprised him. “Yeah, please help Droigheann.” Kyle hissed as he pointed at the group. “We shouldn’t waste much time on them.”As he spoke, several shards of crystallised light formed at his fingertips. He fired them at the man leading the charge.“AS YO
Chapter 274: The Ancient City of Necron (2)
Kyle took the first step down the grey marble staircase. As his feet touched the ancient slabs, he involuntarily flinched.Azazel and Droigheann followed just a step behind, along with Cacophus, who chose to float next to them.“AMAZING, IT HAS BEEN PRESERVED PERFECTLY!” The Lich exclaimed, pausing just a few steps in, and carefully inspecting the waist high walls preventing them from falling off the side. “LOOK AT THIS CRAFTMANSHIP!”Kyle shot a glance at the waist hight wall. It was covered in intricate carvings from top to bottom. Just a few meters of this wall must have taken weeks to create, if not more. “Yeah, it’s amazing.”“Just like the legends.” Droigheann carefully ran his finger along the carvings. “A city of ancient wonders, housing powers beyond imagination, made from the most beautiful materials by the best craftsmen ever to grace the face of this world.”“Seems about right.” Azazel pointed at the buildings. “Any one of these would have taken months to perfect, if not y
Chapter 273: The Ancient City of Necron (1)
The Necronomicon’s pages turned on their own. Kyle waited patiently for the book to settle on a page. Once it did, he read through the spell. It was a modified dispel spell.“Stand back, just in case.” He said to the others. Everyone took a few steps back, even Cacophus who had just arrived. The Lich didn’t speak, but the green glows in his eye sockets glimmered and lit up brightly with excitement.Kyle’s lips curled up with a faint smile for a moment before he turned his gaze back to the Necronomicon. “Open thine gates, lift thine veil.” He recited the spell’s words clearly. “Allow me passage to what is rightfully mine, as I hold the Book of Ancient Secrets!”A moment passed before the spell fully took effect. The barrier around the Ancient City of Necron began to lower as Kyle felt his vitality drain with alarming speed. He looked down at the back of his hand with a panic as the few locks of dark hair dangling before his eyes slowly began to turn white.The mark of the Evertree glow
Chapter 272: The Records Restored
The elderly woman took the two pieces of the hourglass in her hand. A faint, almost mellow smile appeared on her lips as she closed her fingers around the pieces of the hourglass. “I am in your debt, Azazel, young man.” She whispered as she clenched her fingers further. The muffled sound of something cracking sounded. Then, a fine dust flowed from between her fingers. The cool breeze caught the dust, carrying it away from the patio. The elderly woman smiled. “No, come back.” Her voice was calm, almost as if she was speaking to an old friend. “I’m right here.” The wind whirled, suddenly changed its direction, and blew the dust right back at her. She closed her eyes and smiled. Kyle braced himself for… something. “It’s alright now.” Her motherly voice reached his ears. “It feels good to be whole again.” She turned her gaze towards the sky. “It is a beautiful day, isn’t it?” Kyle disagreed. Dark clouds covered the sky. “It is good to have you back, Record Keeper.” Azazel bowed his
Chapter 271: The Hourglass
It was a misty morning and getting out of bed felt like a huge chore. He still dragged himself out of bed, albeit slowly, and staggered towards the hot spring. He paused in front of the mirror for a second. The bite marks on his neck were awfully visible. Vis had definitely taken some of her frustrations out of him last night.He let out a sigh and went to take a bath. She was rightfully upset, and he didn’t care about how he looked too much. He bathed, then got dressed and opened the door of his room, only to see Droigheann standing there, leaning against the wall.“I didn’t realise you’d come out.” Kyle said as he fixed his cloak and hair before the mirror.“You were asleep.” Droigheann explained with a faint smile. “You found the second half of the hourglass.” He stated with a hint of curiosity in his voice. Kyle nodded. “We did. We almost died for it too.” He shuddered. “I’m never going back to the Celestial Plane.”Droigheann laughed out loud. “That is indeed a good idea.” The De
Chapter 270: The Waking World
His eyes shot wide open, and he stared at the grey ceiling above him. A couple of moths were walking in rough circles. One of them tried to fly, only to continuously hit the ceiling afterwards.He blinked a few times as he tried to figure out where he was.“You’re awake!” A panicked voice reached his ears. “Rhealis, they’re back!” It took him a moment to recognise Vis’ voice. A cold hand pressed against his forehead as he slowly began to notice the numbness around his right arm. There was a mild pain too.Footsteps approached as Kyle tilted his head to look at Vis. “Did something happen while we were gone?” He asked with a crusty voice. He licked his dry lips. He could use some water right now.“Your arm got charred!” Vis hissed wide eyed. Was she angry? “And the Fallen Angel’s wings started bleeding!”“Indeed,” Rhealis approached them with a glass of water in her hand. She helped Kyle sit upright, then gave him the glass. He drank it without hesitation. The water passing through his
Chapter 269: The Wasteyard of Heaven
Azazel led him through the distorted landscape in a hurry. “They can’t see as well here.” The Fallen Angel explained as soon as they walked through a cathedral door and fell upwards. Kyle hit the ceiling with a muffled thud. A thick, soft carpet had broken his fall.He moaned with pain still. Constantly falling somewhere was slowly taking its toll on him. His back couldn’t take many more falls. “Why?” He asked as he sat upright and rubbed his sides.Azazel flew up and closed the cathedral’s door. “Because of the distortions. They don’t see things as you do. They see what something is, can be, and was.” The Fallen Angel hesitated upon seeing Kyle’s confused expression. “You don’t understand, do you?”Kyle shook his head. “Nope.”Azazel’s shoulders dropped with disappointment. “When you see something,” The Angel said, speaking slower th
