Chapter 73 - 73: Bond Between Brothers (1/2)

The Darkness grew stronger every single day. Celesea is being sucked into this wormhole of grief and anguish by the mysterious entity.

He is convinced no one can stop him from accomplishing his plans. He is determined to submerge this world in eternal chaos and endless conflict.

So far, he has no difficulty making this possibility. It just happens someone is also undoing everything he has accomplished.

Celesea's inhabitants tried to escape from this desolated place. Unfortunately, hey can't cross the borders of other realms.

The Divine Law states no one is allowed to leave their designated areas. All they can do is wait and struggle to survive to avoid dreaded fates.

Many of them contracted unknown diseases and died helplessly, trying to escape. Some were even consumed by the darkness and became slaves tied in such cruelty.

Nothing is spared, and it only gets worse every day. The once green pastures are now barren lands robbed out of its life.

The once colorful, heavenly place is losing all its life.

Themis is the center of their misfortunes and woes. The once purifying sanctuary is now a haven of these Shadows who consumes their land.

Meanwhile, Noite arrived and barged into his brother's room. He cannot hide his indignation regarding his brother's orders to eliminate him in Mystic Spirit.

How could his brother order his extermination like he is irrelevant? He is his only living relative, and he has been serving him all these years.

He only has great respect and admiration despite his changes over the years. How can his brother destroy their relationship like this?

The bond between brothers is supposedly unbreakable.

”Brother. This is unexpected.” Meness said.

He remained his nonchalance while he saw his infuriated, younger sibling enters the room. He looked at him somewhat disinterested in his survival.

Needless, Meness is slightly disappointed to see him enter to confront him and air his grievances to him. His eyes narrowed as little as his face twitched.

”Why do you look so disappointed to see me? Do you expect your men reporting my demise?” Noite sarcastically responded.

Noite said as he strides towards Meness, who sits on his chair and swirls his wine glass. He is fuming in anger as he looks at his older brother.

Even if he denies it, he wouldn't believe him. He really can hardly imagine how his older brother used him a decoy and tried to sacrifice him to attain his goals.

Was it really that important that he is willing to give up his own family? Was it worth it?

”Why? How can you sacrifice me like that? Am I really nothing but an indispensable pawn to you?!” Noite started.

Noite's angry voice resonates and fills the dark room. This is the first time he has raised his voice and aired his grievances towards his brother.

He never felt so betrayed. He always respected his brother and feels he doesn't deserve such treatment from him.

He has followed him even into this darkness. How can his older brother do this to him?

”You said you'll do anything. I wanted to distract the Divine Lord Foeni. I didn't expect he will personally lead his men and leave the Temple.” he said nonchalantly.

”If ever, you do expect my death from the Mystics' hands? If he wasn't there, will your men even try to save me?” Noite inquired.

His voice trembled in anger as he spoke his mind. He highly doubts they would even make a move if the Divine Lord didn't order to save them.

If fact, he can't help assume his brother wanted him to die that moment. Why is his assassination squad there in the first place?

It can't be just a coincidence.

Why did he want him dead?

”Your death would mean everything. You betrayed me by accepting the enemy's help and not going with the plan to die.” he responded with an unconcerned tone.

Noite's face twitched as he hears his response. He can't believe his brother has such dreadful plans for him.

If Noite died that night, he would have the excuse to avenge him and wage war against Mystic Spirit. His transition will be complete by letting go of his weakness.

”You are unreasonable! When did I wrong you? Did I drug you? Have I poisoned you? All these years, I only cared for you, and this is how you repay my loyalty?!” Noite shouted.

Noite's voice echoes, reaching even the empty halls outside the room. His heart is breaking as he looks at his brother's uncompassionate gaze.

Every word has failed to reach Meness as he remained indifferent towards his younger brother, Noite. He even wonders if he heard any of his concerns.
