Chapter 20: Chapter 20- Pandemonium In a Realm No Mortal Can Enter

This mysterious crescent moon began to tremble, while its illusory form morphed into something else entirely.

A sun.

As this transformation to the crescent moon occurred, the blue light it was emanating slowly became golden.

The time that was frozen for all living beings in the Mortal Realms then began to reverse. But it was not a simple reversal of time. The heavens that govern the Mortal Realms, were also being forced to bend to this illusory crescent moon’s Will.

It was a Will that no being in creation, not even the Heavenly Realm and the beings that lived within it, would dare go against.

It was the Will of Time.

Or at least a portion of it.

Perhaps it was because of this that the Heavenly Realm was able to wrestle free from its influence.

But despite being only a fragment of the Will of Time, the crescent moon was still able to rewind time for all living beings in the Mortal Realms.

The past became the present, and the present became an unknown future once more…

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

Sol continuously slammed his head against the barrier, uncaring of the damage he was doing to his al-ready wrecked body.

However, with a last head slam against the barrier, the pain soon forced Sol to stop, and he knocked himself unconscious. But even as he slipped into unconsciousness, his bloodshot eyes filled with hatred continued to glare at Adalhard.

Adalhard observed all of this. When he saw the look in Sol’s eyes, it made him completely scrap his idea of keeping him alive as his servant.

’This child will only be a sword aiming at my back if he’s left alive.’

Although it would be a pity to let such a talented youth go to waste, Adalhard unhesitatingly made his decision to kill Sol.

With a gesture from him, the barrier around him warped before condensing into a three-meter-long black spear; that had fanciful carvings on it while a ghostly black aura emanated from it.

Without wasting much time, Adalhard pointed at Sol, and the spear was sent flying towards him.

However…

Swoosh!

A green figure suddenly leaped out of the forest.

DANG!

A tree root then appeared from beneath the ground in front of Sol to deflect Adalhard’s spear. Meanwhile, another tree root rose and wrapped around Sol’s body, dragging him towards Little Zeel at the edge of the forest

“Who dares?!”

Adalhard seeing this roared, but when he saw it was a creature his eyes narrowed.

“A mere beast dare interferes? You can die along with that brat!”

Adalhard formed a hand seal with his only hand creating three more black spears from the bit of Holy Energy he had remaining. Those three black spears rotated creating fierce winds as they pierced the void towards Little Zeel and Sol.

Little Zeel rushed forward and leaped on top of the vine carrying Sol, he then puffed out his little chest in a rather cute manner.

But don’t be fooled but this cuteness, as Little Zeel puffed out his chest, vicious-looking tree roots with skin-tearing spikes all over them suddenly spurted from the ground to block Adalhard’s spears.

As the two attacks met, several loud clangs rang out as if metal was clashing against metal.

Seeing this little animal blocking his attack, Adalhard realized it was no ordinary creature.

“An Ibbian Beast with such strength from a young age? This thing is the offspring of a Guardian Ibbian Beast!”

When Adalhard reached this conclusion, he couldn’t help but frown.

“How is it that a situation like this occurred just as I was about to kill that brat? What a lucky bastard. However, such luck does not happen twice!”

Adalhard’s figure left an afterimage in his original position as he appeared several dozen meters away near Little Zeel.

Little Zeel, who was struggling to pull Sol with his mouth and with the help of his tree roots, began to panic when Adalhard appeared.

The cause of this delay was because of the bracelets Sol was wearing, it made him too heavy.

Adalhard waved his hand towards Little Zeel as he appeared. Little Zeel was unable to react and was sent flying by a black projection of a palm, smashing against a tree with a whimper.

Adalhard snorted, extremely annoyed that he was forced to use his limited amount of Holy Energy. He was then about to turn around to kill Sol, but at the same time he turned a loud bang echoed out.

“Huh?”

Adalhard was confused. The sound came from the position where Sol was. However, when he looked, Sol’s body was gone. What remained was a small black bracelet.

“This brat, where-?!”

Adalhard was about to yell, but a cold chill made its way down his spine, cutting him off.

Adalhard slowly turned around and saw Sol kneeling beside the creature he had slapped away.

’H-How did he get behind me?’

As Adalhard was baffled at this situation, Sol suddenly stood up after checking on Little Zeel.

Without saying a word, he began walking towards Adalhard.

Adalhard, who was closely watching Sol, suddenly took a step back.

“W-What…?”

The step back was completely instinctive, and it even surprised Adalhard himself. Something from Sol made him feel a deep sense of dread. However, Adalhard refused to accept such a thing.

“This brat! Just di-”

BANG!

Before Adalhard could finish his words, he was cut off by Sol’s fist. He was sent flying with a loud bang. His body was tossed like a ragged doll in the air, and after rolling several tens of meters Adalhard finally came to a stop.

An indentation could be seen on the side of Adalhard’s skull.

’I-If I hadn’t reacted in time and formed a barrier, that attack would have shattered my skull. W-What is happening?’

Adalhard slowly rose into a sitting position and looked at Sol who was slowly approaching him.

Steam radiated from his body and a dark ominous glow was emanating from his eyes.

Adalhard felt his hands and feet grow cold. His instincts were telling him if he didn’t run now, he was going to die.

However, before Adalhard could make his escape, something in the sky caught his attention.

“This-This is…??!!”

Adalhard’s eyes widened in shock, and he stuttered out his words but was unable to finish them.

What he saw in the sky was the vague image of a terrifyingly large entity. It seemed like a giant that was holding up the very heavens themselves. However, this entity’s gaze was directed not at the heavens but at the earth. No, in fact, the entity seemed to be looking at something.

’Oh, Lord Ga-On, protect this child… For what reason would such a mighty entity appear to observe us mortals on earth?’

In his shock stupor, Adalhard found himself asking this.

However, he quickly realized something.

Why did it feel like the entity was looking at him specifically?

It was then that Adalhard seemed to meet the entity’s gaze, and his face became pale.

“What?! N-No, this is simply absurd, just what is this situation?!”

Adalhard cried out in alarm when he realized it wasn’t just a feeling. This entity who seemed to be a God from the heavens was looking at him!

But a flash of recognition appeared in his mind, and he realized that look in its eyes was exactly the same as the brat in front of him!

…

In that place unknown to Mortals, the large entity inside the void had its golden eyes snapped open.

“This is…”

A look of shock could be seen in them.

However, the look in its eyes suddenly turned cold, bordering on murderous intentions.

“The Heavenly Laws are slightly disturbed. It is not a coincidence my son had just died when this feeling appeared. Wait, could it be… that abomination is still alive?”

The large being’s voice, which was filled with rage, shook the void and distorted space. However, after a moment, its anger died down.

“No, perhaps this is good. I could use this situation in my favor.”

As the large being said this, a profound look that no Mortal man could possess flickered brightly in its eyes. The large being then closed his eyes, allowing the void to return to its calm state.

However, this large being was not the only one who felt the slight disturbance in the Heavenly Realm’s Laws, and although he knew the cause of it, the rest did not.

As a result, pandemonium swept across this Realm no Mortal can enter, and the search for the source of the Heavenly Laws disturbance was carried out by scouring the Realm and the many Domains within.

But they would not find anything as they were looking in the wrong Realm.
