Legend of the Moon Crystal

Chapter 133 "The Darkness That Keeps Flickering"

Stepping over with a cold expression on his face, Hesian was filled with murderous aura for the first time.

The people from his group even held their breaths and hurriedly gave him a way when they looked at him with such an appearance. They were afraid, yet they quietly followed him, until they found Hesian stepping right towards Laisen who was sitting reading a book near the fountain when suddenly Hesian raised his hand and strangled Laisen with a non-playful force.

Laisen, who was gripped by Heisan, looked at the young man with a smile on his eyes and lips, though his face was almost blue due to his strong giggling.

"Say, what did you do to her?"

He was referring to Luce. Hesian looked sharply at Laisen who calmly raised both of his hands. His voice choked with his throat choking, but Hesian could hear what he was saying. "I didn't do anything to her."

"Actually, you yourself harmed her, Brother Sian."

Hesian tightened his chuckle. "What do you mean?!"

"Ughhh!" Hissing in pain, Laisen said, "You're already aware of who he really is, yet unaware of his condition? Ahahaha! Poor little Sian."

He kindly explained. "As a magician with the highest holy power like him, the elders and cunning people of the kingdom must have told him to do something to keep this kingdom fertile and abundant in resources. Can you guess what he's going to do?"

"It's magic." Hesian muttered involuntarily, and his giggling weakened.

Laisen continued his words, but in truth, Hesian did not listen at all because his mind had already clearly guessed what was happening. But Laisen still explains. "The Disaster Summoning Ritual slowly but effectively damaged his magic core. That was why he often felt exhausted. Unfortunately, it's too late for big brother to even realize it."

Hesian threw Laisen and quickly moved towards the hall. But Laisen who looked at him just laughed. "Even with your strength, you will not be able to stop the ritual that has been performed, brother. And hear one more thing."

"Actually, those fools I could easily trick. Just by saying a single word about the offering would save the kingdom, they stood behind it, joined hands and decided on something easily. They should have done it, by now."

Brak!

His body floated high and slammed onto the floor, Blood splashed everywhere, but along with Hesian's firm steps out, that shrill laughter voice had truly become a pitiful introduction as well as a truly illustrative one, how cruel he is, Laisen Hivano.

While on the other hand, Luce looked at the clear sky that brought nostalgia to her. At a time like this, he actually wanted to see Hesian.

People gathered to witness the ritual sacrifice that was said to ward off the disaster and the plague that had been foreseen. Everyone looked at Luce with tears, they could not help their grief. Luce was the protector, savior and symbol of the sanctity of the Amalox kingdom. But as a catastrophic outbreak foretold would destroy the kingdom, Luce bravely takes the responsibility of sacrificing herself.

People throw flowers at him.

The girl smiled, and for the last time, raised her hand, unleashing a magic that shot out like fireworks and exploded in the royal sky like a giant flower, along with red patches that dirty the petals of flowers lying on the ground.

...***...

The screams and cries of the people did not make his steps stop. He raised his hand, using his magic to push everyone who was blocking him in a straight line and make people panic because of the injuries they suffered.

The white magicians immediately put up their standby position, sensing a great threat from Hesian who was stepping slowly on the path he made himself. He saw the girl. The familiar face he remembered, was placed on a red pillow with a beautifully shiny glass lid. He could even see a smile on his face.

Hesian muttered softly, ignoring the white magician who asked him himself. All he had in mind right now was to reach him.

"Standby position!"

Hesian pursed her lips, hissed and raised her hand. Black smoke appeared in his hands, attacking and swallowing the light witches. In a short moment, only the elder left looking at Hesian in shock with cold sweat that slid along his face line. Hesian looked straight ahead coldly, and as he passed by, the elder dropped himself trembling.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps.

Until he stood in front of the glass box.

His hand carefully lifted him up, clutching him in his arms, before he turned around leaving the place, along with his flickering of light.

...***...

"You and your stupid principles."

"I did what my heart wanted, Sian. I'm not saying this as a necessity, I want it."

"From the beginning, did you really like me?"

"I, truly love you, I want to be by your side, I want to be there in your arms, but, I can't."

"I'll never understand."

"You just don't want to understand, Sian. If you open your eyes, you will see and feel them."

"Your good-bye won't mean anything to me."

"Pft, ironic right?"

"It's very selfish."

"You can tell me as you please. But Sian, I really want to know that I only love you. Goodbye, Sian."

"Now you are dead. You asked me what I wanted, right? Actually since hearing your answer, I changed my mind. Now, I'm really going to be dark. I will wipe the world clean with hatred and suffering. Everyone, I'll make a world without light."

"So, I can keep your light flickering in my dark world."
