Chapter 40 -: 40, The Divine Weapon
In the night, the Imperial Castle of the Kaiser Empire was silent with some guards lurking around in the darkness.
The moonlight dimly reflected on the castle walls while occasional songs of small insects rang faintly.
Outside of the Imperial Castle stood a magnificent red temple reflecting the moonlight and giving an eerie look that would’ve sent shivers down anyone’s spine that saw it.
This temple was the worshipping grounds of the goddess whom the people of Kaiser Empire worship. And the statue of that Goddess stood tall in the middle of a large fountain carved from the same violet stone as the temple itself.
The statue depicted a graceful woman with sharp features. Her body was covered in carved armor holding a great-sword pointing towards the heavens. Her elegant and graceful face that gave off an otherworldly charm held a fierce expression that one would show to their enemies.
In front of the crimson fountain stood a cloaked figure as it looked at the statue with its crystalline deep blue eyes as a faint smile formed on his lips.
Dainsleif looked at the statue of the God who earned his respect. The only goddess who supported the weak human race at the beginning of this World
The only one who faced countless ordeals to protect this dear race of hers? The one who spent half of her divine powers to create a supreme artifact that still stands unrivaled in Imarion. The Mother Goddess of Humanity on Imarion and the Goddess of War, Life and Humanity... ’Kairo’. From which originates the name of this Empire.
Dainsleif walked past the fountain with calm steps despite knowing many temple priests are guarding at night. He slowly walked through the main entrance of the temple right in front of the two temple guards in red patterned armor. They looked straight ahead, completely ignoring Dainsleif as if they didn’t see him at all, and that was exactly the case.
