Chapter 344 sorrow,Pain, and Rage

Sloalking away froe of the chasm, Sunny stopped opposite Nephis and looked at her

In his dark eyes, there was nothing but coldness

"Well… it's not like we didn't know for a long tis end Did we?"

She stared at him for a while, then smiled bitterly

"We did"

Indeed, they knew

From that terrible day when Sunny had first understood thebehind Cassie's vision, he suspected that one day, in order to survive, he would have to kill Nephis

This was the truth he had chosen to hide fro his mind The final and most unbearable reason for why he had spentinto one of thee that, one day, they will have to kill the person they care for the e, indeed, was the heaviest thing in the world

Back at the beginning of it all, far away from the Dark City, before they had even known that the Crimson Spire existed, Cassie had shared with them a terrible vision

She said:

"At first, I saw a… a boundless darkness locked behind seven seals So in the darkness I felt like if I directly saw it, I would lose my mind As I watched, terrified, the seals broke one after another, until only one remained And then that seal broke, too"

The first part of her vision described the day when the Vessel of the Artificial Sun had gonedarkness had escaped the prison created for it by the seven ancient heroes

"I saw the huht There was a lonely star burning in the black skies, and under its light, the castle was suddenly consu down its halls I saw a corpse in a golden ar in a tide ofsky with his arrows"

The lonely star shi+ning in the black skies was Nephis, the herald of ruinous change, who had drowned the halls of the Bright Castle in blood to becoround

The corpse in the golden ar, who had died on his white throne, killed by her hand

The woman with a bronze spear and the desperate archer were Effie and Kai, who had al the siege of the Crimson Spire

"In the end, I saw a colossal, terrifying cri seven locks And at the top, a… a dying angel was being consuel bleed, I suddenly felt as though… as though so so precious that it can't be described ords was taken fro seven locks were the heads of the giant statues, who stared at the Star Sigil that Sunny had used to banish the dark sea

And the last part of the prophecy… it wasn't that hard to understand, too

Nephis was the dying angel, the precious thing that was going to be taken frory shadow that consumed her

It was their fate

"Then, I felt so e that what little remained of my sanity seemed to disappear That hen I woke up… I think"

This was the last thing Cassie had said
