When the lightning struck down,a burning sensation permeated him. Starting from his blood to his bones before it spread to his whole body, soul and energy. Numerous runes tried to protect him but this one was too powerful. Breaking all his defences, a huge crack appeared on the surface of the golden gate. s.h.i.+ng! Feeling the danger, the huge gates were opened for the first time revealing a huge void as well as seven thin planets four in orbit of a huge seven-colored flaming ball. Humanoid figures who were living within the seven planets watched as four rays of light were shot of the core toward four thin figures sleeping inside the main hall.
"Our master"s soul palace has finally started to awaken. He should be able to fully use his incarnation now."
"Yeah! It won"t take long before our origin race returns to take back all the cosmic realms that belonged to us under the command of our king."
"Master!" "Master!" "Master!" "Master!"
Four melodious voices surfaced on Elijah mind which was close to collapse before they started singing.
With the rustle of leaves, four voices singing like a thousand tiny bells, sweeter than any bird song entered Elijah"s ears, healing his soul little by little. With voices as soft as the white clouds on a sunny day and as soothing as the swaying gra.s.s on a rainy day. The buzz of her tiny wings beating, almost soundless gave an even more mystical feeling to the song.
The raging lightning storm slowly calmed down as the voice rolled over the entire muddy marsh in sorrowful waves. Swells of power rose up from the deeps of his soul as his pair of bright eyes snap open.
With enough light to lit the entire universe, Elijah stared at the sky when old Elijah"s voice surfaced in his mind telling him to keep up while a series of words came to his mind. It was an powerful and ancient incantation.
For some reason, he felt like it was something tailor-made for him. With three thousand thin orbs of light lining up behind him like the huge constellation of the King"s Hourgla.s.s. At the same time, an imposing voice rang out.
"Burn my body, elevate my spirit and purify my energy... Trinity Incarnation!" Spending all the trinity force drops left in his soul, the Trinity Incarnation has been summoned once again.
This time, his wings even fully evolved from star wings into two pairs of cosmic wings. Countless small worlds appeared in the wings, with each world containing huge power. The flow of time had turned fully visible to him, billions of possible futures and realities appeared on the back of his eyes. Elijah guessed it was the effect of [Traveller"s Vision: Stage Two]. The feeling of seeing so many futures was a bit disturbing, however the feeling of power it gave was great!
After that, Elijah quickly used his power to oppress the golden lightning as they faced each other for hours before the sparking energy lightning sighed and let it be absorbed as it made a defeated expression.
Looking at all the wreckage and destruction caused, a burst of energy rose once again as he felt his soul leaping to the next stage. He was now an Trinity Master. Harnessing the power of trinity incarnation, Elijah restored some of the destruction caused by him.
When he noticed the infinite power fading away as weakness approached, Elijah flew toward the sword city square and left a letter on the city lord"s pocket before returning to his in a split second.
"Ahh..." Knowing he could not waste time, Elijah wrote a letter for Yawen and left by her side before he teleported to the main hall with his body, something he couldn"t do before.
"The greater the power, the higher is the price it carries." Knowing this truth, Elijah knew a long sleep awaited him the moment he felt how great the trinity incarnation truly was.
.....
In a long dream, Elijah returned to an old cave where he saw the Silver-haired Demon, Edward Branches carrying a huge dual-handed sword in his back. Elijah followed the man as they walked out the city and headed to a dark and gloomy forest.
Feeling he was safe, the man summoned the silver gate once again and the body from the female Elijah has seen the first time floated before him. Looking at the woman with pity and guilty in his eyes, he stroked her hair before he said a few blunt words, "I"m sorry woman, I know how bad it is to be betrayed. Just wait until I find the Chintamani Stone to bring you back before I help you take revenge."
From all the miraculous objects the man knew, the Chintamani Stone was one of the few things that could bring someone back to life. It is a wish-fulfilling jewel that has been in possession of many G.o.ds, some says the old philosopher"s stone was based on it. Of course, this was not just to bring the woman back as this object was something Edward coveted for quite a long time.
He believed it was a path of redemption for him after being corrupted by the dark power. Three years later, a middle-aged man walked back into the city while watching the crowd calmly.
"How many hundreds of years has been since I last saw so many people in one place." It has really been a long time without seeing people for him. The country has changed names so many times that no one remembers the name of Thunder Hammer Kingdom.
Now it was known as Zetrad Nation, two years ago, the people revolted against their former king and beheaded the entire Royal family. The king tried to escape the former queen but they were discovered while trying to cross the border into the endless desert.
The king foi crippled, then impaled by an iron spike that went straight through his a.s.s to his mouth, obviously one of the worst ways to die.Different from him, the royal family suffered the gentle death of beheading and having their heads suspended on poles, only the fourth prince suffered the same death as his father.
While all of this happen in the time-span of three year, there was a single man watching all of this and had everything in the palm of his hand. He was the silver-haired demon Edward, the man who pulled the strings of chaos and death all over the world.
