Chapter 444 - Chapter 444: Chapter 420: Saint of Sun and the 5th Step "Eye of Fate (2/2)
At the same time, people all over the world who were represented by those names felt the powerful impact of a force as mighty as the sun!
In the capital of the Lorne Empire, Karl Fesherno and Viscount Johnville were having lunch together, having become extremely familiar friends over the past decade.
Suddenly, Viscount Johnville raised his left hand, which bore a dazzling, seemingly precious golden ring, enough to dazzle and mesmerize anyone.
He stared at the beautiful golden ring and murmured to himself:
“This golden ring is a treasure I obtained three years ago from the Terell Church Kingdom. Although it’s not a Forbidden rare artifact, it’s still a very valuable alchemical tool. It would have been a pity for it to have been buried forever as a grave offering.”
Sitting across the dining table, Mr. Kano smiled faintly. He too had once stolen from the Terell Mausoleum, so he hardly had the right to reprimand the other.
However, the things he himself had stolen could bring about the resurrection of the great Lord of the Lost. Even if morally tainted, he could bear it.
Sunlight streamed through the stained-glass windows, scattering over the exquisite lunch table. The Viscount Johnville of the Lorne Empire was dressed in luxurious garments, the gold-threaded patterns shimmering slightly in the sunlight, as if time itself were particularly lenient towards him, allowing Viscount Johnville to leisurely enjoy this tranquil afternoon.
However, just as this tranquility was about to be gently dispersed by the afternoon breeze, something unbelievable happened.
Suddenly, a strange glow enveloped Viscount Johnville’s body, as if some unknown power had awakened within him.
Immediately thereafter, his clothes began to emit wisps of smoke—not from the heat of flames, but more like a premonition of accidentally triggered extraordinary power.
“Damn it! What is this? Mr. Kano, save me!”
The viscount’s face turned pale instantly, his eyes filled with shock and confusion. He tried to stand up but found himself bound by an invisible force, unable to move.
Soon, the wispy smoke quickly gathered into a fire, enveloping him at an incredible speed. The intense pain from the flames caused him to writhe in severe agony.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”
His screams echoed through every corner of the manor. Yet, amidst the desperate cries, there also seemed to be a hint of reluctance and struggle, as if deep inside he was still seeking some form of release.
“Johnville!”
Mr. Kano exclaimed, shocked at the sight, then activated his 5th Rank extraordinary power. His right eye gradually turned a very special shade of gray-white.
“Eye of Fate”
That was both the name of the 5th Rank on the Path of Revelation and the only extraordinary power of that rank.
In the Spirit Realm, it appears as a chaotic gray eyeball, and those who step onto this rank attain an equal improvement in both physical qualities and Spiritual Power.
“How is this possible?”
Mr. Kano took a deep breath. Through the capabilities of the “Eye of Fate”, he could clearly see several possible futures for Johnville, along with the specific likelihood of each.
If he could find a possibility to save him and choose the one with the highest probability, he could help Viscount Johnville change his inevitable death!
However, through the “Eye of Fate”, Mr. Kano was stunned to discover that no matter how he tried to help Viscount Johnville, his likelihood of death was one hundred percent!
“Moreover, if I dare touch that flame, I will definitely die as well!”
Viscount Johnville continued to scream in agony within the sun-like flames. The manor’s servants hurried over upon hearing the cries, but could only watch helplessly, unable to approach or assist.
Mr. Kano frowned deeply and took a deep breath.
Ultimately, when the flames gradually died down, leaving nothing but charred silence, only that golden ring stolen three years ago from the Terell Church Kingdom remained on the ground.
