Bab 204: CHEATING THE EYE OF DARKNESS
CHEATING THE EYE OF DARKNESS
"There will be one. A road will be provided for me. I have a deal with Darkness", Emperor Tian replied to us.
Suddenly, the ground was illuminated by floorings that crackled with lightning.
"Indeed a path has emerged for us", I said to them.
We walked on the lightning illuminated grounds toward our destination.
Emperor Tian sacrificed himself to enter the Dark Realm in order to reclaim the body that would enable his resurrection and he hasn't gotten that yet. The Realm of Darkness will fulfill its part of the bargain.
----
In the midst of the oppressive darkness of the Dark Realm, a glimmer of golden light pierced through the shadows. Amidst the grotesque figures that filled the realm, with their elongated, twisted limbs, there emerged a radiant glow emanating from the form of a long-forgotten knight.
Though this knight had been sacrificed to the darkness long ago, his body had not succumbed to decay. Instead, it shone with an otherworldly brilliance as he approached Emperor Tian.
With arms outstretched, Emperor Tian welcomed the luminous figure of the once-dead knight. Their minds intertwined as the knight scrutinized the emperor.
After what seemed like an eternity, the golden knight acquiesced to Emperor Tian's desires, allowing his soul to merge with the radiant form. Instantly, a blinding light erupted from the golden knight, engulfing the dark realm.
The monstrous beings surrounding the knight were obliterated in an instant, yet the knight exuded an aura of unyielding power and mercilessness.
Suddenly, before the emperor stood a colossal eye, encircled by creatures with twisted limbs. This was the Eye of the Dark Realm, the sovereign of this sinister domain.
------
"I am free at last and will soon leave this accursed place", Emperor Tian screamed out in joy as he absorbed the divine body of King Arothar.
"Arothar, you have broken our agreement", the Eye of Darkness told the golden knight.
"I am not Arothar. His soul is long gone. Only his divine body remains, and the body is reborn with me", Emperor Tian told the Eye of Darkness.
"You shall uphold the bargain of Arothar despite his passing. You have inherited his magic and should also share his burden. Arothar agreed to remain in this realm forever. It is our deal", the Eye told Emperor Tian.
"I am not bound by that bargain with you. I wanted this divine body for my resurrection, and I obtained it. I also entered this Dark realm as I promised. We are done. Our deal is complete", Emperor Tian told the Eye of the Dark Realm.
"No, you cannot cheat the Eye of Darkness", the Eye of Darkness screamed at Emperor Tian.
Emperor Tian lifted his powerful sword before he made it swing toward the Eye of the Dark Realm. A large fracture was caused by the force of his slash, revealing a world within.
This world inside the fracture was none other than the Tomb of Order, the magic realm that sealed and contained this darkness. It was our way back to our world.
Emperor Tian hastily pushed me out from the Realm of Darkness back into the Tomb of Order.
"Teacher, aren't you coming with me?" I asked Emperor Tian as I was pushed back into the tomb.
"I must deal with this Darkness by myself. We will not return to our world as long as I am not finished here with this eye. You will see me again in the future, I promise", Emperor Tian told me before I was sent out of the realm of Darkness.
Then the fracture in the sky closed.
------
As I dashed out from the Realm of Darkness, my path was crossed with the Knights of Order who were still battling the Lord Phantom.
"How the hell did you come out from the Realm of Darkness?" Lord Iketes asked me in shock as I was thrown toward them from the fracture in the Realm of Darkness.
"Get lost", I replied to them.
"We should kill him now", Lord Lady Aesoness suggested to them.
"No, this is the best time that we escape from the Lord Phantom. We can use the bastard to distract the Lord Phantom", Lord Temeros told them as he cast a powerful wind toward me.
The wind wasn't hurting me, but it threw me toward the Lord Phantom.
The Lords of the Knight Order quickly cast a magic portal and escaped the realm of the Tomb of Order, leaving me behind with the Lord Phantom.
With me distracting the Lord Phantom, these cowardly lords finally have an opening to escape the place.
------
"You, how did you escape from the Realm of Darkness?" Lord Phantom asked me.
"I was thrown out. The black eye couldn't digest me", I replied to him.
"Squeeeeeiieeee"
Suddenly, a loud eerie sound was heard coming from within the entrance to the Dark Realm.
The Eye of the Dark Realm must be fighting with my teacher, Emperor Tian who was resurrected with the divine body of Arothar, the greatest of the Knight Templars who ever lived.
The tomb of Arothar was never inside the Tomb of Order. That was the reason the tomb was never found after all these years.
When King Arothar sealed the Realm of Darkness, he sacrificed his soul to do so, and his body remained inside the Realm of Darkness ever since. Only my teacher, Emperor Tian's calling did the divine body of Arothar finally emerge and merged with him.
"What have you done inside the Dark Realm?" Lord Phantom asked me.
"Well, that is none of your business. Your business is with me here", I told the Lord Phantom.
"Insolence, how dare you a mere Lord of the Knight of Order be so arrogant in front of..", Lord Phantom said to me before his body was struck by an enormous growth that pierced through his body, staking him from the ground.
"Giant slayer of Ikea"
I cast my strongest magic on the Lord Phantom to open our fight, before he would muster his defenses.
"It is useless, your magic cannot affect my body", Lord Phantom told me.
