Chapter 456: A Fair Chance
“How intriguing.”
Inside the temple, where massive pillars stood in a circular formation, the ceiling appeared transparent, revealing the night sky in its entirety. The stars gleamed brightly, the Milky Way flowed vividly, and distant planets moved with striking clarity.
At the center of the temple stood a round table, surrounded by chairs. Among them was a single ornate, grandiose seat, different from the rest, positioned as though it was a place of honor—although it was the only one left vacant.
“Shall we call it human ingenuity...?” said an elderly man seated at the table, his gaze lowered.
“Or perhaps sheer folly,” countered the man seated opposite him, arms crossed.
“Has anyone ever dared to approach Pharel like this before?” a woman added. Her lips, a mesmerizing turquoise that sparkled like gemstones, gave her an otherworldly air.
All of them were clad in pristine white robes that covered them from head to toe. Only their voices, along with glimpses of their cheeks and lips, hinted at their age and gender.
“No one has ever conquered Pharel. To even discuss this I find hilarious,” she went on.
The other woman, seated across from the grand chair, pulled back her hood. Her expression betrayed her irritation.
At the center of the table, a shimmering pool reflected the scene of the massive tower being surrounded by chaotic combat.
“As ridiculous as it may be, this assault on Pharel is your only hope, isn’t it?” remarked the woman with peculiar lips, her eyes fixed on the battle within the pool.
The unveiled figure cast her a contemptuous glance. She was none other than Yula.
