I struggled to break free from a long trance of stillness, but the more I strained to keep my eyes open, the heavier they
seemed...
"Is this the end?"
A tear streamed down, it felt warm.
Is that my face?
I awoke as if I had fallen into a gulf in a dream, but before
touching the ground..
My breaths were brought inside me by a swift gust of air,
but they were still restless.
I found myself back in that Temple, attempting to get myself up, but my limbs felt useless and heavy to me.
I fought to drag myself forward and eventually lifted my
hand and legs, and I were able to move.
I was troubled about the floor covered with carcasses and dried blood, I was worried, just what did I just go through?
I pulled myself together and slowly trudged myself to the wall, all strength left me and I leaned on the fall in exhaustion I felt like passing out but tried to keep my eyes open.
"What am I doing here?
What exactly happened?"
I stared at the ground for a moment, and then a burst of light flashed in front of my eyes.
I remembered,
We went on a quest but instead encountered a Demon, I was abandoned, betrayed, and I had no choice but to fight him.
I gradually had enough strength to pick myself, but I stayed
there for a while because the more I recalled, the faster my
blood raced through my veins until my vision returned.
I used The Spell, and I am sure and I also realize,
I used Blood Silk, I was severely injured, I could still feel the pain of thousands of souls colliding with mine.
but there are also Verdos remembrances.
In The war,
Yajin brutally slaughtered his own army, but why?
The war, the way he was betrayed, forced to watch his
brothers in arms die at the hands of Their Emperor of Hadel, Yajin massacred his own army, but why?
Verdos ended up becoming,
A lost soul Demon through a forbidden spell and devoured the corpse of his soldiers for one purpose,
revenge.
He grew stronger and more terrifying than before, yet Yajin mercilessly crushed him; was he seeking for something?
A key?
Finally, he was sealed here,
but then, when I severed the thread, I was the only one on the floor, with no remnant of Verdos and no sign of injury on my
body, but how?
With so many questions running through my mind, I sighed and thought that whatever had happened, I was lucky enough to remain alive.
"May God brings peace to you,"
a voice echoed inside my head. I realize that I had somehow heard this voice before, but every time I tried to recall it, but a severe ache ended up running through my head.
"May God bring peace to you, huh? as he will".
I shut my eyes to calm down then suddenly I felt a tremor The floor was trembling, dust, and stones were collapsing from above,
I sprinted through one that was about to crush me and calmed down, just to find that The Temple was falling around me.
Maybe because now that The Demon was already gone,
the seal was also eroding itself, that's the rule of Seal Enchantment: If the One who has been sealed dies, the Seal erodes as well, but in this case,
This entire Temple was a seal.
I decided to escape through the scattering stones which
trembled rapidly with the chamber.
Finally, a wall, pillar, and ceiling ended up breaking, and I just evaded the collapsing roof by running on it and
leaping over the falling stones and pillars,
During my time I was struggling to stay alive,
I observed something.
I was faster and more agile than before, perhaps, a side-effect of coming back to life again; avoiding a large boulder, I reached the broken edge of the roof and crawled out of the temple, after dragging myself on the ground I turned over and rested on my back,
At last, an open night sky just like I saw on my birthday, the stars made me feel alive again, and the moon was shining brightly like it was praising me for desperation,
I started chuckling as everything felt like a nightmare and I was awake again, then I heard,
"Why are you laughing like an idiot, why aren't you dead?"
I turned over in alarm and raised my guard, but it was-
"Sir. Serlin?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
