Chapter 739: Empty Skies (1/2)

Chapter 739: Eled to survive as their souls were being destroyed…

A hued froht, flying with incredible speed It was a man with skin that looked like polished bark and a burned, disfigured face

His armor was battered and painted dull by dried blood, and the quiver attached to his belt was long eion once, but now, he returned to kill its commander

His eyes were full of resolve

Months had passed since the terrible day when Kai and his most brave soldiers were chained to the white cliff on the Sacrifice Island and left there to be devoured by the Ivory Dragon Who could have thought that he would be back to this cursed place so soon?

Leaving the heat of the burning city behind, Kai had hidden himself under the island where his coon's flaet the full attention of the prince of Valor, and then dashed forithout looking back

He did not wish to see the white cliff and the soot-covered chains hanging fro under the last bridge connecting the rest of the city to the Ivory Island, he avoided being noticed too soon, and then ascended into the sunlight Behind him, a doe, hiding his friend fro heavy, Kai soared above the eoal

Afroled neck His white scales were painted crireat beast was still alive He was still breathing

He was i

In his hand, Kai held a knife on's fate was sealed, placed there by a ruthless God

Was Kai breaking the will of the Gods by delivering it back to its owner? Or con?

He did not know, and he did not care

All he cared about was killing the dragon

Kai had never been very strong, or very brave, or very srow a little He was not a person of great conviction, either But if there was one thing he believed, it was that Sevirax had to die, and that his ghastly reign had to end

The beautiful city he ruled was just too vile

Gritting his teeth, Kai ignored the pain that had torantuan forlistened in his hand…

But even terribly wounded, the immortal Transcendent was still immensely powerful and deadly How could a mere Awakened ever hope to wound hihostly blade into the exposed flesh on the great beast's neck, Sevirax suddenly stirred His eyelids flew up, revealing inhuhtly, wisps of s, and a torrent of wind crashed into Kai, sending hiainst impenetrable scales, and he was throay

Akilled, but just this light touch was enough to rip his breastplate open and shatter a few of his ribs

With a groan, Kai fell on the soft grass His speed was so great that his body slid for a few dozen on was already looking at him, ready to attack

A hint of confusion surfaced from the ocean of ered for a moment, and then, a low, tired, sonorous voice resounded from all around theritted his teeth

His surprise attack had failed… he failed

Now that the Transcendent are of hi the fateful strike No matter hoounded and exhausted the Ivory Lord was, he would still be ier, and more powerful than an Awakened with a weak Aspect He would crush Kai in an instant

The i to escape The Night to end…
