Chapter 54: History

Few hours later...

Lucas paced back and forth in the divine kingdom of eternal blazing sun before a massive silver door, his face tense.

Creak!

The door creaked and opened, as Aucuses walked out. Lucas dashed toward him and quickly inquired.

"How's she doing, Milord? Is she okay? Is she awake?"

Aucuses saw worry written all over Lucas' face. Then, he said, with a light nod.

"Diana is fine now, Lucas. I was able to heal her and stabilise her condition. She is still sleeping and will be for some time, so be quite if you want to see her."

Diana was actually on the verge of losing control after wielding the legendary sword and fighting against Medici.

Lucas's worried expression faded as he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he bowed quickly and literally ran into the room.

Aucuses sighed and turned to look into the room, where Diana lay in bed and Lucas already sat beside her, watching over her.

He waved his hands as the door closed, leaving the couple alone.

Then, he began walking down a long corridor lined with white pillars and oil paintings on the walls, eventually reaching the weapon shelf. He summons his weapon from here.

He raised his right hand, as Excalibur appeared in his hands with flash of light.

Aucuses gazed at the holy sword with gleaming eyes, analysing every detail of the sword in his hand.

The Excalibur is far from what Diana can envision with her authority, but he personally blessed her with her hermit uniqueness, which played a significant role in the successful envisioning of the holy sword.

However, the person who envisioned still have to pay the price. He also intervened at that time personally and also instructing Blaise, Lucas, and everyone else to pray for her and support her through the ordeal.

Aucuses was still quite surprised, when he first gazed at the envisioned sword. He wasn't sure if this could wield the same power as original held by Altria. However, after seeing the results, he is certain that, while not fully comparable to the actual Excalibur, it is not far behind. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

"The worthy are the one who can unleash the sword's power. Despite the fact that we, the gods, can hold it in our hands. Only Diana has the ability to unleash its true power." As he observed her actions, Aucuses explained. While also closing the small distance between them, by walking towards her.

"Aucuses, you're also certainly worthy, aren't you?" Amanises asked abruptly, looking straight at Aucuces. "The sword is the crystallisation of mankind's hopes and dreams. An archangel cannot bear the burden and cost of visualising something like this."

"Oh." Aucuses admitted, "You picked up on that. Amanises, you are truly the mother of concealment. Nothing seems to be able to hide from your gaze." With a chuckle, he said.

"So, Aucuses, you can actually use the Excalibur." While ignoring his remakes about her, Amanises pressed.

"Indeed." Aucuses gave a nod. "However, I am worse than Diana. She is the one who bore everything directly; I simply assisted her from behind."

"Diana is truly extraordinary..." Amanises remarked as she returned the sword to him. "Here."

"Isn't that obvious, Amanises?" Auceses spoke as he took Excalibur and placed it on his weapon shelf. "Considering who their leader is?" He said it with a narcissistic smirk on his lips.

"You're still the same in many ways, Aucuces..." After hearing his narcissistic words, Amanises responded ethereally, her lips behind the gauze turning upwards to form a shallow smile.

Something suddenly drew their attention, however, as Aucuses and Amanises turned to face the direction of Solomon Empire.

"It's time." Aucuses turned to face her. "The betrayal will occur at sundown..."

"History is truly repeating itself..." Amanises stated as she gazed at the Solomon Empire. Then, while staring at Aucuses, she said. "Ombella has already built a natural barrier around the sea of ruins..."

"It should suffice, as they'll only be keeping Sasrir at bay..." Aucuses was indifferent. "While we slay Solomon..."

Then, Aucuses' figure was immediately bathed in golden flames, as his suit was completely burned away in the flames, replaced by silver armour.

The symbol of sun graced upon his glabella, and his golden iris became vertical, as the flames that bathed his figure gathered to form two fiery golden wings behind him.

He held a purple "Book" in one hand while the other was empty. Then, he finally turned to look at Amanises, his golden vertical eyes gleaming.

Amanises wore a layered black gown with countless sparkling specks of radiance like stars. Her ribs and waist each stretched out two arms. Two of the six hands held a black scythe, two held a crimson "moon", and the rest were empty.

She finally turned, her deep dark eyes gazed at him.

"Aucuses, let's go."
