Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Deceit
The sky became desolate lightning crackled, and the cloudy atmosphere that existed around the Conseiled Mountains for thirteen hundred years was no more, like it was some kind of illusion of the glorious past, and the main attraction of this land was changed with the aftereffects of the two people fighting.
Mountains shattered from the shockwaves.
Clouds were blown away by their clash.
Lightning crashed into an energy-constructed palm, creating an ever-blinding light in the sky.
No sound could be heard after the clash, like the whole world needed some time to rest. After containing that clash, only a small silhouette of a person falling to the ground was seen. When the silhouette dropped to the ground, a large tremor was heard, creating a deep hole like an asteroid.
In darkness, a man rises from the hole he created.
getting up slowly, floating out of the hole, he sighed weakly, "My conviction has always been ready," taking another rugged breath, "Let me, Xiao Lao, the pillar show you how," looking at the enemy in the sky.
"Take this for us," said the man.
Three colors of energy surrounded his body, forming a colorful mist on his palm and drawing the surrounding space inside the mist, creating a vortex.
Dashing toward the enemy, he moved at a speed many times faster than before.
Before the enemy could react, the gentle vortex exploded elegantly, surrounding both of them so fast that the women had no choice but to be sucked into its inside, transforming the view around them into a shining world on a grass field with budding flowers, a shining sun, and a flowing river.
The woman's expression was grim. Her head was filled with panic.
Even though she hit him with her strongest technique, the man in front of her persevered . She had hit him many times before, but the last attack was truly all she had; everything was held in it.
That attack contained all her power and all the rage and fury of a mother who had lost her child, a mother who cursed the world.
'He should be dead. Why isn't he dead?" cursed the woman inside her head. She had prepared herself for a long time to be able to do that, but ' Why won't he leave me alone?" she thought.
Soon the panic turned into fear. Not knowing anything before an attack was a scary feeling.
As she was processing the information, the man stood in front of her and slowly walked toward her as he said, "Do you remember my promise?"
The woman was stronger than her fears, stronger than her panic, and remaining calm under pressure was one of the most important sets of skills in any fight. With calculating thinking, the women simulated many different paths to escape, fight back, and kill, but
She wasn't able to form a complete image due to the lack of information.
In the mysterious starry world, millions of flowers started growing under the lights of the stars.
His clothes were torn apart, showing many wounds, some small but most gruesome . His hair was disheveled, blocking half of his face, yet the man showed no hint of pain on his face and calmly talked to her.
"Even if the ocean splits us apart,"
"Even if mountains block my way toward you,"
"Even if the world is falling apart, I would forever stand by your side. Those were my true feelings, but I broke my promise. But Lien, I can't let you do these things anymore." As he finished his talk, millions of flowers started blooming, and a strong wind started forming around him.
He talked while walking, getting closer to the woman.
The surrounding millions of flowers slowly started growing at the same time, creating an unreal picture.
Lien could only hope to survive this by taking the attack directly.
Her equipment is broken.
Her powers were exhausted.
After their previous clash, even though she looked much healthier than the injured man in front of her, who had an indifferent expression, she had no energy left in herself to be able to stop the attack that was in motion.
She knew that there was nearly no chance of escape, but the woman didn't give up; she refused to give up. Her hatred was too strong; it would rather break than bend.
She hated the man in front of her who let their child die because of his morals and his duty.
She hated the council, which talked with full hypocrisy.
She hated the fate that forced her into this position.
She hated herself for being too weak that night, unable to protect others, thus making many sacrifices.
Tears of blood dripped out of her pupils as she refused to die. Even if the world wanted her dead, she would die after destroying this goddamn world.
Condensing all her remaining power into her right hand, she pierced it into the man's left side, directly piercing his heart with all her power that was left, making sure he was dead before her, hoping to stop this attack in motion.
Lien could feel nothing.
The warmth of flesh wasn't there; it was cold. The pulse expected from the heart was not coming.
Astonished, she looked at the man with wide eyes.
The man only smiled gently at her back as the flower petals flew around them, revealing his face. A previously hidden part of his face was revealed.
The right side of his face instead of eyes was empty, void of dark expected skin and flesh; there was only bone with burnt flesh sticking to the bone.
' He was already dead..... you are already dead '
After their last clash, Xiao Lao had died but he was standing here still fighting
Millions of flower petals flew around in a beautiful pattern curving everywhere forming a pink cage around the two
as more and more petals formed around them the more the woman continued to struggle grabbing his heart and smashing it into mush
She refused to go to the afterlife before her hands soaked in the council's blood
The man looked at the woman who seemed to burn with so much hatred it could melt steel
" the pain of getting hit, losing control, losing my soul
The pain of getting stabbed in the heart
The pain of my heart being smashed
They can't compare to the pain I felt that night seeing you cry
as soon as I used that technique I was already a dead man so no need to try any longer it's futile " pulling out her hand that was in his chest pulling out his own heart in the process
Just as they stand right in front of each other the petals surrounding the man blew everywhere starting to form a 9 colored-lotus at the same time showing the man full of injuries and missing his right eye
But the woman had no external injuries and started to cry as well
the man in front of her was many things but a liar was not one of them
he would never lie to her even after all that she had done he still refused to lie to her
even now she could feel the warmth from his gaze the love from him reminding her of the time when she was with him laughing and brimming with happiness but now
She had hurt him but he still showed love for her
The man slowly hugged the crying woman with one hand and gave her the nine-colored lotus as the woman accepted the flower everything around them swirled around forming a tornado of pink petals around the couple as their last moment came the man hugged the woman
The woman hugged the man teary marks flowing down to the grass field " I m sorry "
The man looked at his lover "It is fine I have already taken care of the council we can rest in peace "
Lien looked up staring at Xiao Lao's face in shock soon turning into a smile and hugged him
The two hugged in the center of the silent explosion
and in a snap everything was destroyed the beautiful world full of flowers disappeared as if it had never even existed in the first place
rolling music could be heard but there was no sound
but all of a sudden everything went dark
