Chapter 1092: Meeting The Sky (2)



Vohnvolt was bewildered by the words Actuass had just said. For a second, he thought he heard wrong, but as Actuass continued to speak, he realised that the man meant what he had just said.

"I have come to save you mother. After all these years, I've finally managed to reach you. I am here now," Actuass said.

Vohnvolt's sockets nearly exploded with flame as he looked at the necromancer, and then hesitantly looked at the figure above them.

'...What?' he asked himself.

His... mother?

Strangely though, there was no sense of elation or urgency in Actuass' tone as he spoke. In fact, he almost seemed to say these words hesitantly, as though he didn't mean them.

This confused Vohnvolt all the more, as did the fact that no response came from the gigantic figure above them. Heck, there wasn't even a response from the many individuals bowing before it. They all seemed to not care that there were visitors in their abode.

Yet, Actuass did not seem to be impatient for an answer.

He waited, his eyes unblinking.

Only after a full minute passed did a reply finally come, carried by a voice that seemed to belong to choir of gifted female bards.

<I have been waiting for you.>

As Vohnvolt shook, so did Actuass, but not because he was caught off guard by the beauty and intensity of the voice. He seemed to tremble in fury instead.

To his dismay, the figure he had addressed said nothing more.

This was when even his centuries worth of patience failed him and he bared his fangs.

Actuass felt his body which was close to shattering bind together. His rage motivated it. The aching of his soul empowered it.

It wouldn't break until he was done here.

Surely, the deal he made with that perverse Priest back on his home world in order to be reborn somewhere close to where his mother would be, hadn't been all for naught.

The treasures he had acquired, all equipped with a way to track his mother's very soul in the expansive void, all exorbitantly expensive... Surely, they hadn't been for naught.

Starting life again as an infant centuries and discovering to his utter joy that his mother was on Aigas... Surely that was not for naught!

Actuass' body seemed to burn. Literally.

"Does it not matter to you how many evils I did on this world to grab your attention? How many of your people I killed. I hoped the millions I sacrificed would be enough to drag you from your perch in the sky, but no. I had to do more evil and get here myself. You just waited and watched," he said.

Once again, there was no response.

Vohnvolt no longer knew how to feel.

His mind went blank.

Even his thought phantoms were at a loss.

To think Actuass was...

<I know, Actuass. I have been following your adventures. I know the toll it took on to do all you did. You truly believed you were doing it all for me, up to point. However, the reality is, the people you sacrificed... I did not make them. The evils you did, are your own to bear.>

<You are still a mortal, after all. You crave like a mortal. You think like one too, my son. You should have realised I was never in need of saving. I was never in need of your help.>

<You should have also realised that I left you of my own will. I was not coerced. I was not cheated or bribed. I saw a path to achieve the goal we shared and took it. I hoped that someday, you would do."
