Chapter 40: Mask out
On the sixth floor, Adler's magical storm vortex swallowed Lucian's silhouette without leaving even the slightest gap to breathe.At the threshold of his fading consciousness, space and time around Lucian seemed to stop ticking as though it simply was not yet his time to die.A foreign memory forcibly pierced through the defenses of his mind, which had already been shattered into pieces.The silhouette of a black-robed man stood with his back to a sea of corpses, gripping a blood-soaked sword.The faceless man turned toward Lucian while whispering a string of ancient, unfamiliar incantations that Lucian had never heard before.A deadly enlightenment surged through the Judge's mind, answering every one of his dead ends.The perfect, absolute Karma Domain, and its exorbitant price.Lucian drew a hoarse, painful breath, wearing a crooked smile as he laughed at the cruel fate that had always faithfully followed him.A ridiculous death at the hands of a cowardly sorcerer was not the ending
Chapter 39
Lucian blinked his eyelids, sticky with the crust of dried blood.The sight of the burned-out ruins of the underground district vanished without a trace from his vision.A vast expanse of dazzling white marble hall now stretched before him, replacing the foul-smelling asphalt floor from before.Where was he now? What place was this?Every breath of oxygen that entered his lungs felt like rusted barbed wire tearing through them.He tried to slowly move his right index finger, using it to support his body on the cold marble.That trivial movement immediately drew a painful cracking sound from his shoulder joint, which seemed to be fractured.Fresh blood seeped once again from beneath the remnants of his charred robe as the gash across his neck was forcibly pulled apart.The nerve paralysis curse from the battle on the fifth floor still stubbornly nested within him, devouring his motor system.He did not even have the strength to stand. His entire body was shattered. He could even feel e

That scathing insult successfully wiped the ripple of arrogance from the enemy commander's face, replacing it with a twitching jaw."Cut off every single one of their rotten legs until this masked clown bleeds out protecting that trash!" the commander shouted, pointing toward the line of civilians.The elite mercenaries once again drew their bows.Lucian pressed his clenched fist hard against the gaping wound on his thigh, forcing his numb muscles to stop trembling.His focus was forcibly split in two between enduring the relentless assaults from the front and ensuring the evacuation tunnel behind him was completely sealed."Zephyr, how much longer until the evacuation is over?" Lucian shouted without bothering to look back."Just one more group of children on the eastern side. Hold on a little longer!" Zephyr replied as he split an enemy mage's chest open with his greatsword.The slightest distraction caused by that brief exchange instantly became a golden opportunity for an elite as
Chapter 37
The artificial night fog, thick with the stench of sulfur, suddenly descended to blanket the skies above the Lower District without giving anyone the slightest warning.Thousands of poison-tipped arrows shot through the night air like a rain of death-bearing metal descending straight from hell.A chain of alchemical explosions reduced rows of wooden houses and shabby market tents into a sea of flames that crawled across the rubble.Hundreds of elite assassins dressed in black landed flawlessly atop the burning rooftops to begin their slaughter.Panicked screams erupted from every corner of the narrow streets as the civilians realized every escape route had been sealed within a living hell.An elderly woman stumbled over the remains of a collapsed brick building, spilling her basket of fruit just before an enemy sword severed her arm.Children cried in confusion, searching for their parents amid thick clouds of smoke that devoured their vision and choked their lungs.Inside the undergr
Chapter 36
Even before Lucian's broken body was carried away by Zephyr and his secret guards from that filthy alley, the broadcast projection that had been deliberately "leaked" to the capital gradually faded.Seraphina replayed the memory crystal recording on her desk until her knuckles turned white."Replay the final part," she ordered the assistant standing right beside her."My Lady, you've already replayed this scene more than thirty times without stopping," the assistant replied softly. "Is something bothering you, My Lady?"Seraphina tapped her fingernails against the surface of the desk, speaking without even turning around, "I hired you to serve me, not to comment on what I do."The assistant swallowed hard and hurriedly touched the surface of the memory crystal with trembling hands.Bluish magical light once again projected the figure of the Judge as he overturned magic itself.Seraphina did not blink as she stared at the image of the masked man who had just annihilated that squad.At

The executioner rested his bloodstained axe upon his broad shoulder as he spat toward Lucian's boots."You've wasted all your precious strength just to prolong the lives of these four losers for a few more minutes," the giant mocked with a sneer. "Compassion has always been the deadliest disease for self-righteous fools in this tower."The slick-haired young man behind Lucian gripped the edge of the black robe even tighter until his knuckles turned white."Judge, please do something! Use your strongest magic right now!" the young man pleaded."Didn't you hear what they said? We'll all be chopped to pieces if you just stand there like a stone statue!" another teammate shouted.Lucian roughly brushed the young man's hand off his robe without even bothering to look back."Shut up," he replied flatly."Your little game is over, masked clown!" the executioner suddenly roared, cutting off their conversation. He pointed the tip of his axe directly at Lucian's face."Use the full-scale annihi
