Chapter 407 The Knight Of Darkness Awakens



All of a sudden, a chilling voice grazed the backs of our necks. A presence that was never even there in the first place appeared out of thin air. We all hesitated to turn around as two ice-cold eyes radiating some kind of golden glow dug into us. They held an almost electric amount of power that could crush us at any given moment. 

"Aisa?" I heard Findir almost gasp as he turned around, so I also swiveled my head, only to meet eyes with a goddess. 

She still looked the same age, held the same mature and cold tone, and enveloped us in a blanket of icy skills and words… yet she was different. Very different. With long pure white hair and golden eyes that glistened like two brightly electric-infused suns, she created an aura and presence so different from before that I could hardly recognize her. 

"What did you do?" The vampire suddenly questioned the woman, but upon feeling her eyes go cold and sink their icy teeth into her skin, she looked down as if respecting a higher being. And well, she wasn't wrong, as it felt like we were talking to royalty. 

"I've become somebody stronger than before… so I'm hoping you all… my friends can do the same," Aisa smiled, slowly circling us before reaching the pale gray door. The aura it held around its bronze handle was menacing and even caused the newly rebirthed Aisa to hesitate. "And I assume you would like to see Orion… then, please go ahead. I think he's meditating." 

As she pulled open the door, my body was covered in goosebumps. Luna took a few steps back, nearly tumbling into an unconscious stance, and if it wasn't for Bella, she might have actually fallen to the ground. 

"Are you alright?" Bella quickly asked while Luna got herself back together, pulling herself to her feet and then wiping the sweat from her forehead. 

"I almost fainted… holy shit… what is in there?" 

"Orion," Aisa responded bluntly, and as we all took a peek inside the room, we felt the fangs of a beast sink into our faces. For a second, we had died. Right there, we had fallen and shook hands with the grim reaper. 

"Fooooo…" 

Taking in a deep breath and letting it out very slowly, I was able to calm this instinctive amount of nerves rushing through my brain and nearly causing me to lose control over my body. It was an innate fear like how when you're a child, you don't just fear the darkness, but you fear what could possibly be in that mass of abyssal blackness. 

I took a step into the room, and immediately I was hit with a shockwave of power. It radiated through my mind and boggled my brain in my very own skull. Yet, somehow I was able to lift my head up to see just what had become of my friend.

A radiant aura of darkness encapsulated him and shrouded his entire figure in a black silhouette. I could only see his two closed eyes, which, when opening to take a look at me, revealed two black holes, swirling and attempting to devour me.

And then, in a split second, two statuses appeared before me as if showing off, attempting to put me further down. But then, it was quickly followed up by a strange panel from the system that I had never encountered before.
