Chapter 235: Wavering Pillar

<hr>

In my mind flashed scenes over ten years old, when I had first ether had formed a bond between us that wouldn’t usually be possible in that short period of ti since I had first corown man born into the body of an infant, Sylvia had become my solace In front of her, I could truly act like e from both lives—I was still just a child to her

To this day, one ofand weak then, but I still thought about it—ould’ve happened if I had stayed Would Sylvia be alive today? Would she still be with et revenge for her Thethis life did little to dae I felt towards the ones ere responsible for all of this However, as eance had slowly quelled

I had lied toabout it because I was too weak So I trained, and trained I went to school to train and learn, and I even went to Epheotus to learn a face to face with the one responsible for all of this that very night when Sylvia pushed uilt than anger

I was ht about Sylvia these days, than I was angry at the scythe in front of me now—the one responsible for Sylvia’s death

“It’s you,” I seethed, doing everything I could to keep ht! You were the one that…”

The next words froze in ainst the far wall It was then that I realized in er, I didn’t even see Virion—deathly pale and sprawled over a pile of rubble—and Bairon, as flitting in and out of consciousness beside him

“They’re alive, for now,” the scythe spoke

I took another step forward, pressing Dawn’s Ballad closer against the scythe’s pale gray throat An aura of frost surrounded ales of wind and electricity as I fed more and more of my mana into my spell

The scythe remained unfazed as the elemental auras radiated froree, even if it was due to Lady Syl—”

He shi+fted slightly, dodging the eley released from my blade with inhuman speed and precision The castle rumbled once more in protest as its mana-reinforced walls cracked and splintered

“Don’t you dare say her naain

Tendrils ofround underneathonceat breakneck speed

My opponent stood still though, letting ht

The gash that h his neck s the wound as if it didn’t exist

<hr><hr>

Through Realmheart, I was able to tell that he was able to ree that he could becoible

‘Arthur!’ Sylvie called out through our telepathic link, just arriving

Sylv! Help Virion! I ordered, randfather and the scythe just a few feet in front of me

‘What about you? You can’t beat hi to die if you leave hi not just my sword but every element I had in , blasts of blue fla

Thankfully, my bond heeded my words After a moment of hesitation, she ran towards Virion and Bairon

I didfor time while my bond healed the two of them I weaved both the anite an icy white flaained fro the scythe and everything else within thirty feet

The seven-foot-tall scythe, clad in glea black armor, stood encased in an ice toant and nonchalant

Casting aside any doubt creeping fro at our frozen opponent until the entire premise was covered in an icy mist

If it hadn’t been for Realmheart, I wouldn’t have been able to see the scythe strike directly at my face

damn it! It didn’t work, I cursed

Still, I was hopeful Each fight against one of the retainers had left ainst Uto would’ve killed us if it hadn’t been for the scythe, Seris But this tis that were able to use the mana arts only asuras frothe scythe’s fire-clad fist, however,back There was no time or leisure to think why, only that it was true and I had to capitalize on it

The world shi+fted fronited Static Void and ti this ability and repositioned h though It didn’t e my attack when he didn’t need to

The mana particles in the atmosphere had all been colorless, unable to be used within the void of frozen tilow all around me were the motes of purple

<hr>

Lady Myre had told me that while I could sense aether due to ht never be able to consciously control the the power of Static Void

Still, I tried As crazy as it sounded, I called out to the floating specks of aether to help me somehow I shouted, I pleaded, I prayed within the frozen real would work, so around Dawn’s Ballad, coating its blade in a hue of purple

Afraid that this poould soon dissipate, I iti where I was, as if expecting that I would use Static Void

What he didn’t expect, however, was that my next attack would be infused in aether
