Chapter 348: What She Saw
Although Angelica said she would show him what she saw, she blushed heavily as she lifted her hand toward Aldrian’s forehead. "Excuse me."
Aldrian simply smiled and even leaned slightly to make it easier for Angelica to touch his forehead. She then placed her hand on his forehead, and they both closed their eyes.
Inside Aldrian’s mindscape, he was suddenly transported to another scene. From his perspective, he saw widespread destruction across the land. The sky had turned red, and death was everywhere as far as the eye could see. The aura of death and its lingering energy were so thick that he could almost feel them, even though this was merely a vision from Angelica’s memory.
He saw the Doria Empire reduced to ruins, its capital city nothing but rubble. The same devastation had befallen other empires. In the Ivory Empire, the once-thriving forests were engulfed in flames, and several World Trees had already been destroyed, leaving only a few standing. Everything he saw was utterly horrifying, offering no glimmer of hope to anyone witnessing such a scene.
The continent was slowly consumed by darkness, little by little, until finally, Aldrian saw it again. In the sky, he saw that thing once more—a giant eye, so enormous that they seemed visible from across the entire continent.
That eye gazed down upon the land as if looking at mere ants. The pressure it exuded was overwhelming, even though the vision wasn’t real. Yet, he had a feeling—that thing knew he was watching. The eyes seemed to focus directly on him.
He felt the unbearable pressure radiating from the being, and once again, a surge of rage ignited within him, like a spark growing into an uncontrollable fire. Unconsciously, he tried to unleash his golden energy, but before he could, a sudden burst of golden light erupted from afar, spreading at an incredible speed. The radiant light swept across the entire continent, as if trying to illuminate the land and purge all the darkness.
All the people nearest to the source of the golden light were saved from the darkness. The golden light spread across the entire continent, affecting everything—including Aldrian’s vision—before he finally came back to his senses and awoke from the vision.
He opened his eyes and saw that Angelica had also opened hers.
She looked at him with a worried expression.
