Level Up Legacy

Chapter 1308 I Found You

Disasters befell the world the moment runes disappeared. Their crucial function in societies amplified this disaster to terrifying degrees. Barriers flickered out of existence, allowing monsters to roam into human settlements. Planes fell from the sky because their defenses against monsters were rendered useless.

From personal disasters affecting awakeners using their runes to giant cities meeting their end, the damage was immense. No one understood the source of this malfunction in runes, and no one thought it was possible. After all, runes created the world. If they stopped working, then the entire world would crumble.

Nyx might have been the first one to sense that something was wrong. She was in the kitchen, preparing another meal for the clansmen. Arthur was nowhere to be seen, and she guessed he might still be trying to fish from the river. Although he might fail again, she was proud of the progress he had made.

Her techniques and training methods were always scrutinized in the clan, even though they proved their effectiveness. Most disciples found them harsh, boring, or even ineffective. Arthur was the first to make progress using her routine, which made her happy.

As she chopped the onions while entertaining such thoughts, her entire body shook. Nyx did not understand what happened, but her primal instincts told her to escape. This was unlike anything she had ever felt before, and it made her break her routine for the first time.

Nyx stormed out of the kitchen under the confused eyes of the students. No one could feel what she felt, but it was real. She was sure of it. The feeling of dread that filled her heart guided her toward the pavilion assigned to Arthur and Benjamin. Outside, she found the old man with someone she did not recognize.

"What are you doing here, lass?" asked Benjamin with a frown. "You look pale. Did something happen?"

"Something is about to happen," said Nyx while looking around. "Where is Arthur?"

"He went to see Diana," answered the man she did not recognize, pointing toward the building behind them. "I don't think he wants any other visitors at the moment."

"Diana? Who is that?" asked Nyx with confusion.

"The woman that he loves," answered the man again. "She was injured during a fight in Sourna. It's best if we give him some time to calm down."

Nyx had a bad feeling about this as she stared at the building. For the briefest second, she saw a shadow loom over the building, like a ghost of destruction that made her tremble. She turned toward Benjamin and the man, "Please, make sure to evacuate everyone nearby. Do it without questions."

Benjamin could see her expression and knew she could feel something they did not. He nodded and rushed out of the pavilion as Nyx decided to take the first step toward the building. The closer she got, the more her heart screamed at her to escape, but she endured.

After twenty years of training her wrath, Nyx was capable of handling any amount of wrath she assimilated. But what she felt at the moment was far more than she had ever imagined to be possible. She entered the house, walked toward the bedroom, and pushed the door open.

At first, she saw nothing but darkness. Nyx had to wonder whether it was night or day since she forgot. Once inside, the bedroom took shape in front of her, and so did the figure standing in front of the door. Nyx gulped as she looked at the man surrounded by darkness.

"Arthur? Is that you?" she asked, her heart throbbing in her chest. Although she received no answer, she somehow knew that it was him. She walked into the room, unable to understand what was happening. This amount of wrath was nothing their clan could handle, so how could one person?

"I will kill him," muttered a voice from the dark figure while looking at the bedridden woman. Nyx understood that the target of his words was whoever hurt Diana. It might be the first time that someone hurt her in front of him.

Nyx knew that wrath was chaos. It was destruction and the end of sanity, as she had experienced during her training. Wrath was ugly and unsightly, but in his current state, Arthur was none of these. He was wrath, but he was not.

The figure turned, and Nyx flinched as she gazed into his eyes. A pair of red eyes stared beyond her as the figure walked past. She was frozen in fear, unable to even recognize this creature as human. Once she turned around to stop Arthur, she found him gone.

Nyx rushed out of the room to follow him, only to realize that the feeling of wrath disappeared from the clan. Then, light disappeared from the setting sun above them, and once she looked at what replaced it, she realized that this was Arthur's doing. An eclipse appeared in the sky above them, and whoever stared at it could feel their blood boil.

Benjamin returned, a little exhausted. Her father and mother were with him, having felt the wrath that Arthur had themselves. They rushed here to stop Arthur from going berserk, but he was gone.

His whereabouts were a mystery, but the next instant, the eclipse burst with wrath as a ripple spread across the world, as if scanning them. The group stood confused as it passed, feeling their hearts thump in their chests. Then, they heard a voice from the depths of hell.

"I found you."

It was a whisper that sent chills down their spines. The sentence was meant for someone who might not survive tomorrow. But the group was just relieved that this wrath was not directed toward them.

"Was that Arthur?" asked Benjamin as he stared at the eclipse, his forehead sweating bullets. "Where did he go? Who is he seeking?"

"It's indeed Arthur, but I don't know anything else," said Nyx with a frown as she turned toward the outsider. "You should know who harmed Diana, right? Is it someone that Arthur could handle?"

"In his current state, there is nothing that he cannot handle," answered the man as he looked at the eclipse. "We might witness the second death of Lust."
