Chapter 1460 - Hidden Events (1) (1/2)
As Madeleine, Dyon and Little Rain sought to strip the Golden Flame Mystical Realm clean of minerals it had slowly built up over trillions of years, a different scene was occurring at Soul Rending Peak.
Eli, Meiying and various Demon Generals like Thadius and Ronica looked on nervously as Delia fought a battle for her life. They had seen cruel tribulations before, especially Meiying who had seen Dyon's, but was this really what a celestial should be facing?
Still, Delia faced it all valiantly. Dressed in a black gown and holding an ice-cold sword in her delicate palm, she faced the onslaught of devils… Bearing down on the image of hell that stood before her.
Thousands of skeletons creeped toward forward, each covered in bones of a dense black. Cracked and without emotion, they came in waves, assaulting Delia's mind and body. While those watching in the distance had never seen such a tribulation, Delia knew exactly what it was…
The heavens were enraged, enraged that a woman carrying the child of one its heavenly children had actually ignored a chance at protection to face this tribulation alone. In its anger, it wanted to punish Delia for putting something its child cared about in harms way.
But, this wasn't the end of it. Not only was this trial difficult, it was wholly cruel.
Each of these skeletons, they all represented the dead of the Patia-Neva Clan. They each limped and crawled toward Delia, rage and grievances clear in their socketed eyes.
Your father is the reason we all died, so why do you get to live? You should die as well…
These words reverberated in Delia's mind. So much pain and horror had been caused by her father. In fact, her own mother was among those who suffered the most… Being forced to be with a man she hated to core and even almost losing her own child.
This sort of two-pronged attack was too vile…
Should the daughter pay for the sins of the father? Should she feel guilty that her own father felt it okay to ignore the pain and loss of billions of others, but actually couldn't ignore her own pain? Why had her father saved her, but sentenced so many others to death? How was this fair?
Not too far from where Eli and Meiying stood, Giralda suddenly touched her cheek, only now noticing that tears had been flowing. She couldn't hear what Delia was hearing, but somehow, she felt that their stories were connected by a faint line of similarity.
Looking toward her own daughter, she felt a deep pain in her heart. It had already been several years since the events of Soul Rending Peak, yet Violet had hardly changed at all. Although she had become quiet and reserved, especially after the humiliation given to her by Dyon, it didn't take much for Giralda to see that those same venomous thoughts swam around in that head of hers.
Truth be told, Giralda had wanted to take Violet back to the Crystal Dragon Clan. Maybe by seeing and living what it meant to be a true dragon, she'd change for the better. However, her better judgement stopped her.
