Chapter 1029 - Gate That is Opening Gradually
There was a substantial amount of putrid, sticky air. Nakvard sauntered forward, the thick scent of blood in the air like spider webs sticking to his face and wrapping him around entirely, but he disregarded them and continued to strode without any hesitation. His surroundings were drenched in pitch-black, murky blood. There was also a dark, mysterious, and sinister energy circulating and raging in the air. Scarlet radiance shone from secret spots above and extended several long shadows. No one knew if it was a misconception as the shadows didn’t stand still. Instead, they constantly swayed as though they were strangely alive.
Nakvard stepped onto the platform where several men dressed in the exact same robes as him stood on the highest point. There was a square pool in the middle where a tall, turquoise flame blazed. There were no chairs and tables around the square, not to mention luxurious ornaments or comfortable armchairs. There was only darkness. The walls and ceiling smeared in complete black seemed extremely depressing. The men left a spot among them, apparently prepared for Nakvard. Nakvard remained silent. He narrowed his eyes, went up to his position, and spoke.
“How is the Chaos Gate?”
“Everything is as per normal. We have enough power now. All we need to do next is to wait for the strength of Order to fall to its lowest. Then, we can open the gate and guide the devils into this world and accomplish the noblest and most sacred mission that Chaos has bestowed us!”
“Hurry up.”
Gazing at the exhilarated associate beside him who seemed as though he was about to have epilepsy, Nakvard continued to put up an expressionless face. Even though they were associates, there was no form of friendship. The people qualified to stand here killed their predecessors. There was no need for reputation or wealth, as long as one proved that one had the power to be qualified for this position. It was this simple. Fools often made simple things complicated, while only geniuses treated intricate matters simply.
“The Country of Darkness’s undead army is moving fast. I suspect they may enter Casabianca earlier than we expected. To prevent any accidents, I think we should be prepared beforehand.”
“Heh, heh. Don’t be so anxious, Sir Nakvard.” Another man spoke. His shrill laughter was as though nails scratching on a blackboard that could cause one’s hair to stand. His laughter echoed in the dark, strange space and could leave one shuddering. “Aren’t we prepared already? Even if the undead arrive at Casabianca, they will not be able to destroy our mighty and sacred ritual. Besides, don’t we already have the assistance to resist them?”
“It’s always good to be careful. Besides, there are no movements from the Void Territory up until this point. We need to be cautious of the possible mistakes and problems.”
Nakvard knitted his brows to the man’s words for a few seconds. But before he continued speaking, another relatively frail voice let out a cold snort.
But this small problem could basically be neglected.
Lilian raised her arms when suddenly, the shade of the sky in the distance gradually changed. The sky that was pitch-black transformed into a beautiful, dazzling azure. The turbid layers of cloud turned white and fluffy and the bright, glittering sunlight shining from above healed all scars on the surface. Under Lilian’s guidance, the shattered Order once again returned to its rightful trajectory. Up until this moment, Lilian couldn’t help but shiver, putting down her arms and gasping for air. She spoke with a pale complexion.
“S-Sorry… Big Brother Rhode, this is all I can do…”
“You don’t need to apologize, Lilian. You’ve done well.”
Rhode caressed her hair once again before turning around and squinting at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance. The path leading to their destination had opened. It was time for him to strike.
“It will be our turn to move out next. Since His Majesty Ion is so impatient, I don’t mind cooperating with him. It isn’t nice for the owner to keep the guest waiting. Since he wants to be our guest, we should be ready to welcome him.”
Rhode revealed a gentle smile.
“Alright then… let’s do it.”
