Chapter 552 - 546. Raising Curtain
Zein did not really expect to get a vision from this fragment.
From the twelve fragments they got in the war, Zein did not receive anything significant. Some had no vision at all--perhaps erased during the subduing process by the shard. But even those with vision only showed him the preparation for the war. In short, it was just new memories that brought nothing to the table. Zein felt like those fragments were new ones made just for that war.
And so, he did not think much when he decided to destroy the fragment right away. Maybe because everything had been easy, he unknowingly became too relaxed and complacent.
That being said, this vision was also a new memory.
What Zein first saw was the sea. But wait, he could recognize it as the sea? Belatedly, Zein realized the place wasn’t as dark as the usual Deathzone.
Yes. Because there was a shard there.
Moored in the middle of an island, Zein realized it was the spot where the Fallen Star’s Fragment got rooted in the present.
Zein had no idea how long it had been, and how the Fragment could end up there--the vision seldom gave him a sense of time. But the Fragment spent quite a long time just staying still, staring at the shard without doing anything. It didn’t try to get closer, nor did it try to attack the shard like the tentacle Fragment with the twins.
It was like...the Fragment was waiting.
Zein tensed up, even though he had no corporeal body. Dreadfully, he had a feeling of what the Fragment was waiting for, because frankly...there could only be one answer, couldn’t it?
He had no idea how much time passed, but it felt like an eternity for Zein, wishing for his prediction not to come true.
