Chapter 12: Rage
The sky seemed to spilt in the realm.
Three figures emerged from the now broken entrance of the realm. One of them, who seemed to be their leader had the presence of a sovereign, while the rest were of Grandmaster rank.
They each had a tattoo of a black sun rising from the void.
Both me and Synthia recognised them immediately—The New Dawn.
These are the guys who tried to assassinate me when I was in the orphanage and in the game killed everyone from the orphanage and sold Alicia as a slave for her looks, all because they didn’t find any children with talent.
These guys are a bunch of lunatics who believe, that corruption energy is the only hope of this world and wield it.
(In the game, they tried to assassinate Synthia. But she killed them at the cost of her soul. That’s why she died when she passed on her sword arts. She was holding on to life from her sheer will.)
My thoughts went numb and I was locked in my place. I was only able to think again when the sovereign released his aura.
’BOOM’
I could feel the mana in the air bending to his will. Synthia felt it too. Without a word, she summoned her sword.
A magnificent odachi appeared in her hands—its deep green blade gleaming with poisonous elegance. A golden rim coiled around the hilt like a serpent. The moment it materialized, a venomous aura burst outward, choking the realm with pressure so thick, even I staggered for a heartbeat, and that’s when the sword intent wasn’t even pointed at me
