Chapter 90 Eriden = Chair (1/2)
Then, in the forefront of the line, she saw a similar looking arched pillar that was about five meters tall. And upon closer inspection, she noticed that the space between the arched pillars were distorted and moving, like there was a sort of portal or barrier.
Then, she saw Favian and the rest of the Watchers turning around in perfect synch to face their assigned groups.
”Beyond these pillars is the Sacred Temple. Please maintain its solemnity as we enter. If any rude and unwanted behavior were to occur, the perpetrators will be punished accordingly. ”
After their announcements, the Watchers ushered their teams in the portal. One by one, they were soon transported inside this huge cathedral looking 'temple.'
And when Inna entered the portal, she couldn't withhold her gasp as she looked around.
The temple was absolutely stunning!
White walls, white ceiling, and such great artistic paintings!
It had this familiar feeling from its designs, starting from its arched windows, high ceilings, to its vast amount of space and walls filled with murals.
After thinking deeply, Inna noticed that it incorporated the designs of ancient churches back in her world. Yet at the same time, it held its own originality with the magical floating lights and the paintings all around it.
Actually, because of the numerous wall paintings, the temple eerily resembled the Sistine Chapel. Except that the paintings surrounding all the walls in the temple are alive. Like the ones in Hogwarts, they move and act out their scenes like videos. When she noticed it, she couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
But given the fact that Eriden is their world's only accepted religion, the paintings were all about Eriden's version of the creation of their world.
All throughout on the left walls of the temple, it showed the scenes of the creation of Mana, the original animals, and plants. On the right, it showed the power-crazy Mana, Chi and the other humanoid beings Mana created, the magical beasts, magical plants, and it even showed the extinction of the original beings.
Then, at the concave ceiling, there were paintings of the clear blue sky and in those clouds lay a man in white robes whose face was hidden by the sun.
If she's not wrong, that must be the Supreme God.
All around him in the concave, there were numerous white cloaked figures that had their faces hidden in the shadows. It was particularly eye-catching because the painting of the Supreme God and those figures were the only unmoving paintings in the whole temple.
With her curiosity piqued, Inna tugged at Favian's robe.
But, it was either he was ignoring her, or he didn't feel it because no matter how often she tugged, Favian seemed to ignore her.
Irritation was starting to blossom in her so she roughly tugged his robe. Then as she did it a second time, she heard a faint ripping sound.
Schhhhrrrrkkk!
Favian stopped walking and stared wide-eyed at his ripped sleeve. It was just a little rip but his hidden perfectionist side was greatly disturbed by it.
”What. Do. You. Want.”
He hissed out as he glared at her.
Seeing his furious expression, her mind blanked out and she ended up nervously stuttering.
”H-hi.”
Hi?! Did she just rip his sleeve to say 'hi'?!
Favian curled up his top lip as he growled out.
”If you don't have anything worthwhile to say, why don't you just shut up and follow?”
