Chapter 606 Cap 604: Holy Land Of Life And Death(Chapter Preview)
When I opened my eyes I noticed someone messing with my hair, but it was behind me, what I noticed in front of me that surprised me was the completely different vision.
I was in the sky above a large lake of crystal clear water, there were two islands next to each other, one of these islands was full of life and lush, but the other island was almost a horror movie image where the trees, plants and even the earth had darker tones.
In addition, the second island had a mist covering all of it, it also had a barrier crumbling around this terrifying island.
“Finally woke up, useless master, missed the beautiful show that transformed this whole place.” (Layla)
“How long has it been?” (I)
“About an hour and a half since we finalized our part of the plan.” (Nix)
“Thank you for the explanation.” (I)
I remember how difficult it was to maintain consciousness while my body had largely recovered, but my mind felt like it had been hit by a truck.
I hadn’t realized how taxing this could be on my mind, my body is still stiff, and all my joints are creaking like rusty hinges on an old door.
“You still need some time to recover, let Sakura and Freya take care of you.” (Ragnar)
“It’s all right.” (I)
I look at this beautiful landscape that I helped create and I feel a little bit of pride, unfortunately, my participation was just removing the rubble to make room for this wonder.
“I know what you’re thinking, master.” (Ragnar)
“But it’s not over yet, the most important step in your plans is missing.” (Ragnar) 𝚍n𝚘v𝚕.𝚘𝚛𝚐
“Most important step…” (I)
“…” (I)
My head is a little slow and that’s why it took me a while to understand what Ragnar meant, but in the end, I understood after noticing the surroundings.
“(I don’t feel the same presence I felt from those abandoned temples, I don’t feel any holy presence around, I just feel vitality and death.)” (I)
“So all they have to do is finish it?” (I)
“They must be talking about it by now.” (Ragnar)
“They started to move.” (Orion)
“…” (I)
I see the two High Priests talking for a while, after which they wave to each other and start flying towards their respective islands.
High Priestess Yara headed towards the verdant and vibrant island.
High Priest Henrique headed towards the haunted island that looks like it’s from a horror movie.
We got closer to the islands, but we stayed in the skies to see what they were doing.
What I see is two statues being pulled out of strange storage items, then the two High Priests get down on their knees facing the statues of their respective Goddesses.
In a few seconds I feel a presence begin to gather on this island seeming to come out of nowhere, the statues of the two Goddesses were glowing, and two columns of energy form from the islands to the heavens as waves of holy energy spread around the surroundings.
“They’ve offered themselves as a means to the power and authority of their Goddesses, they’re doing something Vanessa has done before.” (Ragnar)
“Yeah, I’ve also seen her doing something like that before.” (Nix)
“This place is going to be a sacred land for Two Great Goddesses, surely no Realm would be foolish to invade this place claiming territory or anything else.” (Ragnar)
“But will this work? Because it looks like something is going dangerously wrong.” (Sakura)
A presence spreads around the surroundings, it is actually two opposing presences spreading from the pillars of light, when these two presences collide the space begins to crack as waves of destructive energy spread.
“But what’s going on?” (I)
“I can feel an imbalance, the two energies are not being able to harmonize with the environment, this is causing them to not be able to balance with a third force.” (Freya)
“What if you and I use our power to do this?” (I)
“I don’t know, maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t.” (Freya)
“We don’t have time to think, take me there Ragnar.” (I)
“Freya go to Yara.” (I)
“Right.” (Freya/Ragnar)
Ragnar takes me flying to the haunted island next to the pillar of light where Henry is kneeling, with difficulty I get off Ragnar’s back and walk towards Henry, the pillar of light luckily does nothing against me.
I put my hand on Ragnar’s shoulder and send my Aura to him, at that moment I feel like there is something sucking my Aura and I can feel my Aura mix with this pillar of energy, I took the opportunity to activate the harmony characteristic of my Aura.
After a few seconds, I feel the waves of energy that spread out from that pillar charging some of my Aura, at that moment I feel another wave of energy collide with mine for a second before it starts to blend in, but then a third type of energy tries to resist, it was nature itself around us, but little by little my Aura along with Freya’s Aura managed to weaken these resistances and allow the energies of life, death and nature to mix.
But I was in no condition to help at that moment and before I knew it my consciousness darkened.
———–
When I opened my eyes I felt my whole body warm and full of energy, I was in a small lake held by Nix and Sakura, and my body felt lighter.
“Where I am?” (I)
“This in a lake that still contains a strong concentration of vital energy, High Priestess Yara helped us heal you when your blood started to dry up.” (Sakura)
“Let’s just say that staying inside a pillar with death energy was a bad idea.” (Nix)
“Freya was much luckier staying comfortably on a pillar filled with vital energy, her skin was even more beautiful.” (Sakura)
“You only survived because you had the Goddess Kalistos’ Blessing.” (Nix)
“The good part is that the plan was a success despite the various problems faced along the way.” (Sakura)
“The entire lake and the two islands became one Holy Land.” (Sakura)
“(Why am I always the worst off?)” (I)
I was glad Freya was okay, but at the same time, I was wondering how long it would take my horrible luck to kill me.
“The Priests, how are they?” (I)
“They’re completely fine, they’re just tired, you were the only one who got hurt.” (Nix)
“(I don’t know if he was happy or sad about it.)” (I)
