Chapter 309: The Heaven's Chosen... Part-2.



Location Unknown

A hidden basement somewhere.

Fade opened his eyes slowly and found himself hanging. His legs were bound to a metal pipe attached to a ceiling, and he was hanging with his head facing the ground.

The pain in his back was immense, and he could feel that his wound hadn't healed yet; moreover, he was still suffering from internal bleeding too.

He glanced at the status panel and saw that his 'HP' was already halfway down.

If he continues to bleed like this, he will die from excessive blood loss.

He may be an awakener, but he's still human after all; too much blood loss will kill him.

Moreover, his hands are bound, so he can't cast any spells either.

He glanced around and found that he was locked up in a giant cage made up of some kind of magically enhanced metal.

"W-what is this place!? Kira! Are you there!? Look, t-this joke is not funny! Stop p-playing around like this!"

Up until now, Fade still thinks that Kira couldn't possibly have betrayed him.

She was the one who helped him when he was getting bullied; she stood by his side for two years and helped him grow.

She went on various dungeon raids with him, saving his life dozens of times in difficult situations.

They have been dating for two years now, and they have already promised each other that they will marry in the future.

Fade has already considered Kira his most trusted partner, who knows nearly all of his secrets except for the secret of him having a 'system'.

'No, no, she can't possibly be the one plotting against me... If she wanted, she could have easily killed me when we went on so many dangerous dungeon raids... Why do it now after all this time...'

'Yeah, her betraying me doesn't make any sense...'

Fade kept repeating these words in his mind over and over as he wanted to believe in Kira; he knew that she had even abandoned her childhood friend Liam just for him.

She has nearly given all of the secret resources of her family to Fade; if she wanted to betray him, she wouldn't have done all that.

'Yeah, she must be under someone's control, yes! That's it! This must be a plot of those two rich bast*rds!

Even now, Fade was still thinking that the situation was under control and that this was all just a ploy by Link and Liam against him.

He refused to believe how grave his situation was at the moment.

But before he could think further, a familiar figure walked over and opened the door of the metal cage.

It was none other than Kira herself.

She was holding a lantern whose dim light was reflecting the darkness in Kira's eyes.

Her eyes seemed hollow as she was dead from inside, and Fade could see several other similar cages nearby, and humanoid skeletons were hanging inside them all.

Seeing that scene, Fade genuinely felt afraid and nervous.

"K-kira, y-you are finally here; okay, I admit defeat. You win. Now stop this joke, okay... This isn't funny; I am really bleeding to death here... My back hurts a lot... Let me down, please..."

Kira totally ignored Fade's begging.

She stared at the metal door of the cage from the inside and kowtowed on the ground with a blank expression on her face.

Fade was taken aback by Kira's actions, but before he could say anything, the sound of footsteps came from a distance.

*Step**step*

From those footsteps, it was clear that someone wearing metallic boots was walking towards them.

Fade's heart started to beat loudly, and the look on his face turned from nervousness to fear after he saw the person coming.

"Nice to meet you, Fade Crest... I am Alverto Chronos Perdere, and I am happy to see you here today..."

Alverto, wearing his usual dark black armor with golden designs, walked inside the giant metal cage.

Alverto abruptly shook his head and spoke.

"But truthfully speaking, I am very disappointed... I have seen just how pathetic of a being

you actually are, Fade Crest... You are so pathetic that if not for the luck around you..."

"I would have mistaken you for a random rat living in the sewers..."

Alverto has seen amazing people like Rio and Link; of course, he feels that Fade is quite

pathetic when compared to them.

"But forget it; all I need is your luck; I don't care about your body anyway..."

Since the day Fade got his system, he has always been under Alverto's radar, and Alverto has

seen everything that Fade has done with the eyes of Kira.

He has already confirmed that Fade is indeed the genuine child of heaven, but he doesn't seem to have anything else special about him.

Alverto brought out the golden dagger from his space ring that Kira had used to stab him and

said,

"By the way, this golden dagger has the effect of nullifying the victim's mana for a few hours; that's the reason why you weren't able to sense mana when Kira attacked you... Although it only works on people below rank S, it's quite a useful tool..."

"Now I will use this thing on you again... Make sure you don't die. Okay, I still have a lot of work for you... You need to fulfill my dreams! You are an important pawn!" Hearing Alveto's words, Fade trembled in fear, and his eyes started to shed tears instantly.

"No! no, don't! Don't do that! I will give you whatever you want! Please.." Alverto ignored Fade's words and stabbed the golden knife in Fade's abdomen.

Then he took out a photo of his space ring and showed it to Fade.

"By the way, have you noticed that your family hasn't been contacting you lately? I guess you

must have been too busy ogling the maids in your lovely girlfriend's house to have ever

noticed that..."

"So let me show you this..."

Alverto showed the photo to Fade; the photo was of a few lowly demons who were eating

human bodies on a dining table.

It was Fade's family that was being eaten by them.

"AHAHAHAHA, Yes! You didn't even notice that your family has been dead for a whole year

now! You are so pathetic! Ahaahaha"

Tears of blood flowed from Fade's eyes as he stared at that picture of his dead family

members, and he started to wail loudly in great sorrow.

"Yeah! Cry more! AHAHAHAH"
