Chapter 513: The Shrine Of Light II ( Bonus Chapter )

"Lian..." Kain also did not have a better reaction.

"Hmm?"

"You could summon something like this too?"

"Yeah."

"Then damn it, why did you hide something this cool until now?!"

He looked at the giant wolf in disbelief.

"How do you even have something like this?!"

"This is cooler than anything I’ve ever seen!"

"How?!"

"Just how did you manage to get such a skill?!"

"I want one too!"

"We have more important things to do for now." Lian only looked at him and turned his attention back to the door.

Kain stared at him for a few moments and then looked at the wolf again.

"At least tell me what you named him?"

He thought for a few moments.

"Or let me guess."

"God of all wolves?"

"God of Destruction in the Mortal World?"

"Or even better!"

"Doomsday Wolf?"

He suddenly opened his eyes wider.

"Or wait... Fenrir!"

"It has to be one of these, right?" He asked his best friend excitedly.

"Um...none of them?" the young Vorhelm simply said, feeling that all those names were far too complicated.

Kain stayed completely silent for a few seconds and then slowly looked at the giant wolf, and then looked back at Lian.

"....Please don’t tell me you named him Two."

Lian stayed silent, he gave no answer, but that silence was enough to be taken as a response.

Kain’s face slowly became empty.

"My God..."

He looked at the giant wolf again, then looked at the sky with an expression as if all hope in his life had disappeared.

"Why do you give such a cool skill to people who don’t deserve it?" He could barely stop himself from crying.

Lian completely ignored him and looked at the second section, it was much higher.

He created an ice platform under his feet and then activated [Ashen Thunder Step].

Boom!

His body shot upward with a line of lightning, but at that exact moment, an attack beam came toward him from one of the priests of Region Three.

In the middle of his movement, his body turned into ash and the beam passed through him.

He appeared again several meters away, on a second ice platform, and then created the next ice mirror while pointing toward Kain at the same time.

The beam of light hit the second plate and the ice immediately started to turn into steam.

"Come on..."

The path was completed.

Click!

[Path 11/12 recovered.]

Kain was still holding his hand against the seal below, because of the presence of Two and One, who were taking all the priests’ attacks, he did not need to worry.

The more he saw how useful the two tamed monsters were, the more jealous he became.

Lian went to the last one, the third path was behind a collapsed pillar, but unfortunately, a large part of the structure was covered, which could cause trouble.

He looked from above and used True Sequence to find out where he needed to place the mirror, and he understood that the mirror had to be placed almost behind the pillar.

But there was not enough space, he had to move part of the pillar.

Lian came down, his palm touched the stone.

Krrrrrrck!

A crack spread across the pillar, but he did not break it, he only pushed the broken section a few centimeters.

Finally, enough space was created, and the third ice plate took shape, at the same moment the light reached it and the surface of the ice started melting quickly.

"You filthy outsiders! That sanctuary does not belong to you! Stop right now!" a priest shouted from a distance after seeing the final path.

"Looks like the sanctuary doesn’t agree with you." Kain said sarcastically.

Finally, the beam broke and moved across the ice plate, reaching the last node.

Kaaaaang!

[Path 12/12 completed.]

The entire gate lit up.

The eye and tear symbol on the final door began to shine, then the symbol carved into the gate moved aside like a huge eyelid.

The drop below it turned golden, and Kain’s light passed through all the grooves of the gate for a moment.

[Child of Light identified.]

[The Sanctuary of Light is opening.]

The gate opened from the middle, but not completely, only enough for two people to enter.

White light poured out from inside, so pure that the details of the inside could not be seen for a few moments.

Lian gave a command to One and Two through the link, and then both of their bodies turned into particles of light.

[One and Two have returned to the Colony House.]

Kain entered, and he moved right behind him.

One of the priests of Region Three managed to get through the forces of Region Six.

When he saw Lian passing through, he ran at full speed.

"Wait!"

The young Vorhelm looked behind him.

The priest was only a few meters away, and he reached his hand toward the opening.

But as soon as he entered...BOOOOM!

The gate closed.

The priest arrived just one moment too late, and both of his palms hit the white surface.

"Open!"

But nothing happened, no matter what he did, no matter how hard he tried, the sanctuary door was completely closed.

Behind him, the forces of Region Three and Region Six were still fighting, but none of them could enter.

On the other side of the gate, a notification slowly appeared in front of Lian.

[Entry recorded.]

[Internal Ritual started.]

[External access blocked until the end of the ritual.]

"Luckily, I think we really are alone now, we don’t need to worry anymore." Kain let out a heavy breath.

Then the first line of light on the floor lit up.

Click.

Then the second one, and it did not take long before ten lines, one hundred lines, and thousands of thin grooves on the floor, walls, and ceiling lit up one after another.

The space that had been almost completely dark until a few seconds ago slowly became visible.

Kain raised his head and became completely still, Lian also said nothing for a few seconds.

Because contrary to what they expected, there was not a hall behind the gate, but a huge abyss stood in front of them, its end disappearing into darkness.

White bridges crossed the empty space at different heights.

Some were straight, some formed circles, and some reached buildings that had been built inside the walls of the abyss.

Thousands of statues stood on circular terraces around the space.

Humans.

Priests.

Pilgrims.

All of them were kneeling, and all of them were looking toward the center.

Kain took a few steps forward, then he saw something that made everything around him seem unimportant.

In the center of the abyss floated a sphere, a huge white sphere that was perhaps several hundred meters in diameter.

Twelve giant metal and mirror rings surrounded it and held it in the center of the space.

The surface of the sphere was not still, it moved like some kind of living material, slow waves of light moved across it, but among all that white, black lines could be seen.

Thin cracks, and every few seconds, extremely strong light came out from one of them.

Thum.

The huge space shook with every pulse of the sphere.

Kain could not even make a joke immediately, he was truly shocked.

"This...what is this?" His voice was quieter than usual.

Something inside Lian’s storage space started to shake, it was the Celestial Book of Treasures, but it was not a calm shake, it was almost shaking wildly.

He took it out and the book opened by itself, the entire page suddenly turned golden.

[Treasure Source is in front of you.]

[Evaluation started.]

[Evaluation failed.]

[The structure is beyond the current evaluation range.]

He slowly raised his eyes from the page and looked at the huge white sphere, the twelve rings, and the black lines that passed through the light.

And then he thought about the entire city that was buried outside under the unknown black substance.

About all those pilgrims who had been frozen in time and turned into statues...statues with black spots.

Or even the Hollow Pilgrims.

Something that had once destroyed the Silent Light City may have never left this place....maybe all this time...it had remained lit right in front of them.

Maybe the reason for this city’s death...was right in front of them....
