Chapter 229 - The Imprisoned Light, Verdia’s First Bolt
Meanwhile, Rygar and Verdia were late. But there was a good reason for it.
While everyone was gathering in their home, the two were floating tens of meters above the ground, enveloped in a storm of lightning that tore the sky with thunder and light.
The wind whistled around, and the magical energy in the air made the hairs on their bodies stand on end.
Lightning danced around them like luminous serpents, but neither Rygar nor Verdia showed fear. They were completely focused.
Rygar had changed a lot over the past year. He was even taller, finally showing signs that his growth was coming to an end.
His body was defined and lean, but it emanated an almost infinite power. His face retained attractive features, but his severe expression made him look like a relentless warrior.
Anyone who saw him would mistake him for an intimidating general, or perhaps a Yakuza boss.
His silver hair was long and tied in a simple ponytail, while the traditional mantle of the Sword Sanctuary billowed under the storm.
Verdia, on the other hand, had not changed much in appearance. The only noticeable difference was in her hair.
Verdia’s hair was still stunning, but now it looked merely lustrous — like golden silk gleaming under the flashes of the storm.
But before, her golden strands emitted a slight and mystical golden light, as if they shone with magic of their own. Now, that glow had vanished.
The glow that Rygar discovered to be the source of the curse that afflicted all who knew of Verdia’s powers.
