Chapter 402 402: It's Coming!

A bright beam of light shot through the sky! All the clouds that were in the sky were dispersed, as if they were destroyed by the towering light.

Even the barrier that was cast by Gabriel to hide everything that took place inside the garden shattered like a thin sheet of glass without even the slightest of resistance.

Gabriel had told the Knights to retreat half a kilometer to avoid anyone seeing anything out of place, but the current change couldn't be hidden from anyone! All the guards could see that the source of this towering light was at the Garden of Legacy!

They already expected something to be special about the garden with how much attention Gabriel paid to that place, but now it seemed even more extraordinary!

It would've been fine if it was just noticed by the guards, but that wasn't the case! Many citizens noticed the bright beam of light. To them, it was more as if the light had descended from the seventh heaven, instead of rising from earth!

Even the people who were inside the house were drawn out by the people who were outside. The commotion was just too difficult to ignore!

The Crown Prince and the Princess of Yann had just returned to Yann. At the moment, they were in a meeting with their father, telling him what took place at the tomb.

Unfortunately, before they could explain much, the guards of the Emperor rushed inside, informing him about the strange phenomenon outside!

In the Lumen Empire, the Head Priests of the Church of Light flew high in the sky, looking at the beam of light that was thousands of kilometers away, yet still visible!

It was their first time, seeing something like this! There was no mention of any phenomenon like that in their books either.

Not too far from them, the Head Teachers of the Academy of Elements were also high in the sky. Without Izen, the academy was weakened but they were still an influential group.

It was hard to attract people's attention in the world, but currently everyone's attention was in the same direction! The direction of Arecia!

The Holy Priest of Flames was standing outside the destroyed Church. The construction work had started again. Moreover, the Holy Priestess of Earth was also setting up her treasure to use Gabriel's origin energy trace to bring him to them!

There was still some work left to do before everything was ready for their trap. However, currently none of them was focused on the task at hand.

"This energy... It's similar to what destroyed your Church!" The Holy Priestess of Earth exclaimed. "Looks like we won't need to use my treasure after all."

"That person! Instead of hiding, he dares to be so high profile to reveal his trace? Good!" The Holy Priests of Flames already had a fire burning in his heart.

His entire body was covered in scorching blue flames as he shot straight toward the Empire of Arecia!

The Holy Priestess of Earth followed behind the Holy Lord of Flames. Even she was curious just what this tower of light was being used for, or why now!

The Holy Priestess of Lightning and the Holy Priestess of Water were together, trying to find traces of Lambard's current location and to some extent, they had also succeeded. They found out that the city of Abbadon was currently near the Arecia Empire. They didn't know exactly where.

They were already on their way to the Arecia Empire when they saw the beam of light. The two of them also happened to be the closest to that place.

Both of them left their carriages. To get to the source of this disturbance, they decided to cover the rest of the way through flight! The Head Priests who were accompanying them followed along.

One after another, all of the Holy Priests were on their way to the Arecia Empire... All but two... The two were already inside the Arecia Empire!

One of them was Avilia who was already inside the castle when it happened. She had fallen asleep but woke up as soon as she sensed the flood of this strange energy that even made her feel uncomfortable!

Through the window, she looked out in the direction of the garden. This thing... Is that where he went? But what is this beam of light? Why does it even make me shiver? Just what's happening?

Being closest to the garden of Legacy, Avilia felt even more influenced by that strange energy. However, she still decided to check it out for herself.

"What a big commotion this guy caused!" She exclaimed, sighing. "Soon, the others should be there as well."

****

Above the Royal Palace, the Holy Lord of Wind was sitting comfortably, looking at the garden of legacy.

Unlike Avilia, he didn't get close to the Garden. Instead, he just observed it from a distance.

After some time, he turned around, gazing in the distance. "As expected, this time the disturbance is just too much. Even the Temple of Time came out."

Outside the Empire of Arecia, a giant door appeared out of thin air. In the middle of the door, only an hourglass was carved. Despite being just a carving, the hourglass was full of life.

A small crack appeared as the door slowly opened.

The door connected two different spaces through one portal. From the door, a young man and a young woman came out. None of the two appeared to be in any hurry at all. What was even stranger was that both of them had pale faces yet deep blood red eyes.

The two looked at the beam of light.

"So this is the place where he hid it. No wonder we couldn't find anything. What a headache... If that army returns, it would get quite troublesome for us." The young man muttered, not showing much reaction. "But how is it opened again? Only he could've opened that place. But he's dead! So how?"

The woman next to him doesn't speak anything. Even she appeared somewhat confused. "Could it be that he returned?"

"Impossible! It's just not possible with everything that happened in the past. There's no way. I don't know how, but someone must've found a way to open that place!" The man grimaced. It wasn't often that he showed such serious expressions.

He glanced back at the red pendant that was hanging around his chest. For a moment, there was only silence. "It doesn't matter how it happened. The tower of light can't be faked! It's appearing... It's appearing in this world again... The army that left only death in its path!"

"Even if he hasn't returned himself... Even if it's just the army... Even if it's just one soldier... this world isn't capable of resisting! We can't let it succeed! Whoever opened it, we shall eradicate them!"
