606 Wedding (2/2)
”I will, in the name of the Lord and knighthood.” Natasha nodded heavily, declaring as a knight.
Grand Duke of Orvarit smiled and put Natasha's left hand in Lucien's hands. ”In the name of her father, I bring her to you. Bless your new family.”
Holding Natasha's hand, Lucien paid respect to her father, Granny Hathaway and Aunt Camil, and then went out of the Nekso Palace with her.
Passing through the palaces and the garden, they reached the gate of the Nekso Palace.
The man was handsome and steady, and the lady was sacred and glorious. The beautiful couple stunned the two groups of knights and the crowd, who fell quiet to appreciate the view.
Lucien and Natasha raised their crossed hands together!
Exclamations immediately rose:
”Long live the queen!”
”Long live His Excellency Evans!”
The area around the Nekso Palace was immediately roiling with cheers.
...
In the next instant, for safety reasons, Lucien and Natasha went to a platform for the magic steam train instead of riding on the crystal dragon again under the protection of Hathaway. Winston and the rest of them stayed in the company of Grand Duke of Orvarit and other nobles for their security.
Wu! 'Klaus' moved. In the most heavily guarded carriage, Lucien, Natasha, Hathaway, Grand Duke of Orvarit and Camil were left alone. Winston and other nobles were in other carriages.
”Very powerful defense circles have been deployed here.” Natasha was very excited; both for the wedding and for the upcoming battle.
Hathaway preferred to stay quiet whenever possible. She looked at Lucien.
Lucien smiled. ”It's only equal to the ninth circle and not nearly as good as the defense of the City in the Sky.”
”Is that so?” Natasha looked around and asked curiously when she had questions.
Rentato was not far away from Allyn. The magic steam train finished half of the journey very soon.
Natasha looked at Lucien in confusion. They were already close to Allyn. Had the enemy given up?
After they reached Allyn, Lucien couldn't be killed even if the pope arrived in person.
Lucien was about to respond when a crack appeared inside the carriage. The frozen black, white and grey spread out, blasting Hathaway, Grand Duke of Orvarit, Camil, Lucien and Natasha!
A crack of the World of Souls?
The deadly colors raged like a surging river, expanding the crack quickly, which consumed Lucien and Natasha without giving them any time to react.
Hathaway transferred Grand Duke of Orvarit and Camil to a different carriage without any hesitation. Because she had no time to dodge, and the attack did not contain any damage, she was consumed by the crack, too.
After only one moment, the carriage became empty, and the monochrome crack quickly disappeared.
Inside the World of Souls, a complicated magic circle had been deployed next to the rail. On top of the magic circle were three terrifying experts.
One of them was a tall mummy that was enshrouded in yellowish cloth with a gold crown on the head, and one was a skeleton in a magic robe, whose head was surrounded by spinning stones.
Lucien recognized them the moment he saw them:
”The Primordial Mummy! The Lich King!”
”Is the World of Souls taking part in this, too?”
The third of them was a brilliantly smiling young man. It was exactly the Original Fire!
Looking at Lucien, Natasha, and Hathaway, he sneered, ”Have you forgotten that the World of Souls overlaps the main material world? We can bridge them with magic easily!”
Natasha felt that everything around her was slowed down. No. She felt that the Primordial Mummy, the Lich King, and the Original Fire were so fast that she couldn't capture them at all. In the meantime, a glittering river fell from the sky and slashed at her.
It was Kritonia, Heart of Time!
Seeing that the Primordial Mummy and the Lich King stopped Hathaway, the Original Fire cast spells on Lucien who had been slowed.
Right then, his eyes slightly constricted as he saw that Lucien, who was wearing a black tailcoat and a bow-tie of the same color, had brought out a silver pocket watch at some point. The black second hand was ticking, and the gems in different colors were glittering. The tiny chain of the watch emitted vague, silver brilliance.
It was still colorful? A legendary expert? A legendary item?
In the World of Souls, only legends could retain their original colors! Also, he had never heard of such a legendary item before.
When did Lucien advance into legendary?
Greatly shocked, Banham, 'Original Fire', cast the spell:
”Fire of Soul!”
Inside his pupils, Lucien smiled like the most courteous gentleman, before his right thumb pressed the silver pocket watch in his hand.
Crack!
