Chapter 521 - Chapter 521: Chapter 489 Karno, Bast, Child of the Sun God (2/2)

“Come on, Bast, we must escape from here together.”

Bast’s fragmented soul curled up, and after a long silence, it suddenly asked, “We are friends, right?”

“Yep, of course we are.”

Karno smiled and nodded earnestly.

“Good, I’ll listen to you…”

The two quickly arrived at a nearby wooden hut, however, after entering, Karno found nothing and shook his head as he walked out.

“It seems we must go to that castle after all…”

He suddenly froze.

For, unbeknownst to him, a dreadful man had already appeared outside the wooden hut, waiting for him, and Bast’s soul was so terrified by his presence that it couldn’t move!

Amidst the soft and solemn light, stood a young male figure.

He was surrounded by an indescribable aura of sanctity, as if he were a Saint Heir stepped right out of ancient legends, embodying purity and loftiness untainted by dust.

The young man was dressed in a white, unblemished robe, the fabric seeming to reflect every shred of light around him, making him exceptionally dazzling, like the warm and gentle glow of the dawn.

Karno was stunned, realizing who the person was.

Indeed, it was this man who had captured him and Bast.

For over a decade he had been on guard against this man, but never had he thought that the other would come directly from the Terrara Church State in the south, alone to Lorne, completely disregarding the potential for a national level of huge conflict.

Why?

Why had he made such a desperate move into Lorne, willing to risk his life just to capture him?

Karno fell into deep thought, feeling there must be a significant reason behind it.

Most striking of all was the delicate and refined sun pattern on his face, which was not a design painted later in life, but as if it had been etched into his skin from birth, fused with his life.

The sun pattern shone with a golden hue, subtly flashing with each breath and change of expression, slowly circulating and releasing a gentle yet powerful energy that commanded awe.

“The Sun… the Saint of Sun? Child of the Sun God!”

Karno soon relaxed, and then he had no more panic or vigilance, for in the face of Heavenly Enlightenment, those were meaningless.

He even smiled.

“To see such a legendary figure with my own eyes is truly an honor!”

The Child of the Sun God spoke.

“Karno of the Fischer family…”

“You are guilty.”

His every action emanated an otherworldly grace and composure, and even the most ordinary movement held cosmic wisdom.

Karno could even sense an unprecedented calm and harmony about him.

“You say, I am guilty?”

He smiled and bowed deeply, his tone filled with a sense of grievance as he said:

“Oh my, esteemed Child of the Sun God, your position as the Saint of Sun is revered, but you couldn’t possibly pass judgment arbitrarily, could you? You found me without a word, knocked me unconscious, and threw me here—what is this all about?”

“Because, you are guilty.”

The Child of the Sun God still answered him with a voice full of ethereal transcendence. Karno shook his head, about to laugh and continue his rebuttal, when suddenly he felt the temperature of the sun in the sky rise, the sunlight flooding the earth, becoming incredibly dazzling!

“Fischer family, you believe in and serve the master who brings the end of the world; for your own selfish reasons, you do not hesitate to drive the souls of all things toward despair and destruction.”

“Your great sins cannot be cleansed even in ten thousand generations, and they must be thoroughly ended by my hand!”

“I shall…”

“Rescue the world that is on the brink of dawn!”
