Chapter 55New Friends Light? Was that light? I whispered as I rubbed my eyes. In this sea of darkness, I saw myself following the only beacon of light I found. Strangely, tears were falling constantly from my cheeks. I wiped them, yet they continued to fall.  Why? I was neither in pain nor hurt and I barely feel anything.  There …

Chapter 54Aftermath As Katarina shed more happy tears, the guest stood up and leaped towards Pasifae. After seeing her frozen state, he looked back at Daedalus. “My, my, my, Daedalus… You’re as coldhearted as ever.”  “It has to be done,” the red-haired man replied with a straight voice. “She had endangered the boy.” “Even if it’s your kin?” The guest …

Chapter 53A Mysterious Guest As the second seal on the boy cracked, Katarina immediately sensed a change in his magic’s wavelength. A pulse of great magnitude blasted, causing a loud explosion and the heat to soar. She glanced, something she immediately regretted. The small boy stood motionless amid the sea of bluish flames. He burned himself beyond recognition. His empty …

Chapter 52The Ancient Blessing “The Guardian won’t be pleased, Daedalus,” Katarina warned sharply as she massaged Daedalus’s back, her fingers pressing hard on his spine. “He’ll be outraged. I overstepped my boundaries,” Daedalus replied as Katarina’s magic continued to penetrate his skin. He could feel it sapping his, as though trying to subjugate him on the inside. “But I’ll be …

Chapter 51Nightfall A perfectly spherical ball of flames slowly covered the boy’s body. As it grew, the radiance of his fire gradually outshined the scarlet twilight. The red sky became almost invisible to his fire. It shone so brightly as the scorching heat permeated through the clearing. Even the soil underneath melted. Soon, orange bubbles surfaced as his feet gradually …

Chapter 50Final Spark “Vlanca!” Kasheda shouted as she leaped into the air. “Over here!” The demon girl briefly glanced at the dark man, her hands shone with the overflow of mana. Without wasting another breath, she threw the large block of ice over her head. Arthur’s eyes followed the projectile of the throw, his fingers tightening around the serpent staff. …

Chapter 49Flames of Hope Who were the real demons? Who were the actual incarnations of evil and destruction? These were the questions that flooded Katarina’s mind as Kaleb’s figure carefully drew Vlanca’s magical energy. The older woman had to be patient. She fully understood that while everything in this world possessed magic, the power that came with it came with …

Chapter 48 Daedalus’s Plan “You shouldn’t soil your hands, darling,” Katarina whispered, biting her lower lip. Her heart clenched as blue flames wrapped the boy’s body. Her ears and cheeks flushed from extreme anger that she could barely contain. “Let granny take over.” The boy didn’t pay her any mind, however. “Dangerous,” he flatly said, unaware that he was burning …

Chapter 47 Convergence A cold wind of silence blew between Pasifae and Vlanca. Thick layers of smoke and dust scattered before their eyes, and they couldn’t help but stare in anxiety. The rhythm of their breaths paused as though something clogged their throats. Even the insentient Arisens appeared restless, their arms were raised over their chest as they stood like …

Chapter 46 Depravity The inside of the massive ice dome was eerily beautiful. Everything encased in ice was perfect and smooth – the floor and the semi-spherical ceiling overhead.
