Chapter 849: A Memory Of Happiness And Pain

Chapter 849: A Memory Of Happiness And Pain

Pov of a cultist:

I look at chains with the thickness of a Human's body, these chains were previously invisible being made of pure multicolored energy in flow taking the form of chains, but now these chains were very visible, there are 8 chains of which 2 have already been broken if turning crystal shards on the ground.

Now one of those 6 remaining chains has become completely red and solid like some kind of metal with screaming faces popping out at times.

"How much longer will it take?" (I)

"The job is done, now we're going to need the Lord of Shadows to break the seal." (Shadow Slave)

"It won't be necessary, he's busy with other plans, I'll do that myself." (I)

"You'll need a special weapon for that, if you touch it directly you'll be contaminated by the curse." (Shadow Slave)

"I'll get what I need, there's a Cursed Weapon that belonged to a Hero in the past, I know where it's sealed and I'll get it." (I)

"How long will the damage done last?" (I)

"In its current state, it will last for 2 months before the curse starts to be cleared by nature's energy." (Shadow Slave)

"It will be enough." (I)

With that resolved I return to my Dragon form flying to get the weapon I need.

Pov Klaus:

"Dad, you need to let go of me." (Daughter)

"No, I will never let you go." (I)

"I have to go, we've already talked about this." (Daughter)

"I don't like that brat." (I)

"He doesn't appreciate you." (I)

Sigh

Pov Goddess Selene (Goddess of Blood):

I still remember those days when hope didn't exist, where every day could be the last and all that existed in everyone's hearts was darkness.

I was just an ordinary child back then, far from the Goddess who protects the legacy of the past to give hope to future generations in the form of the bloodline, far from the woman who bathed in the blood of entire planets, and far from the one who decided to face the unthinkable for few.

That child who had witnessed the worst was talking to the only being who showed him, love.

She looked at him and even though she was a child she already knew that the man in front of him was walking a path where all that existed would be endless sadness.

"Why did you do that!?" (I)

"Because we are in dark times, everyone has lost hope, enemies are limitless while our numbers keep decreasing, with each battle the destruction only increases regardless of whether we win or lose the battle." (Zenos)

"That doesn't answer my question you idiot." (I)

"Why do you have to sacrifice so much?" (I)

"Because I already know how this is all going to end because that's my will and I won't accept any other outcome." (Zenos)

"But you're already..." (I)

"Shhhh!" (Zenos)

I can still feel his hand on my head like that day while he has that confident, goofy smile on his face.

"I know, but even so, to have a future, even if we win, there needs to be a light however dim it may be to give hope to those who long ago had their hopes dashed." (Zenos)

"You want to be that light? But everyone hates you." (I)

"I will not be the light, my dear Selene, I will be the fleeting flame from which that light will arise." (Zenos)

His words that day were a mystery to me, but something in what he said filled me with sadness, only at the end did I understand and I couldn't help but watch.

When I open my eyes to wake up from this memory of a time before any existing record, I am faced with the night sky of my Divine Realm, so I change to the blue sky he was so fond of.

"A flame that burned everything in its path, a flame that burned even the worst darkness to generate light..." (I)
