Dawn Of Legend:Rise Of An Extra



Two women of great power had been kidnapped right under their eyes. If words go out, most people will die.

There might be a bloodbath for real if this reached The Emperor's ears.

The relationship between the Holy Church and the Cyprus Empire may deteriorate due to this situation. If anything happened to the two women, the world would surely be flipped outside this.

Only a madman with a death wish would dare to lay hands on the Saintess and Princess at the same time.

Lucas whose mind became blank seeing everyone panicking suddenly remembered something.

These two women weren't soft rice nor did they like to play damsel in distress. There was no way, both of them were gonna be kidnapped this easily.

"Please can you lead me to the Saintess room?"

Everyone narrowed their eyes and looked at him with confusion.

"Why?"

"There is something in there that might help? Her Highness told me about this?"

The Priest named Oswald, frowned hearing his words.

"Why would she tell you about this in particular instead of relying on us?"

A thick vein bulged over Lucas's forehead.

'If you all were that reliable, this shouldn't have happened in the first place.'

"He is Her Highness Secretary and ranked 1st among the group."The guard named Henry tried to ease the Priest.

"Hmph! You don't look like one."Oswald snorted but stopped seeing Henry's glare.

"Okay, I will show you but don't you dare do something to the Holy Lady's room."

Oswald's tone was annoying but Lucas held his urge to hit his face.

On their way to Saintes's room, the path was littered with blood, corpses and debris. A frightening battle had taken place here.

Lucas could feel the malevolent spirit loitering around due to the dark mana used by the black mage.

The door of the Saintess room was open and the sheets were in disarray. It was easier to tell what might have transpired here. The Saintess might have surely been kidnapped along with The Princess.

"Now, what do you want to do here?"The Priest gave Lucas a condemning gaze.

Lucas sighed softly. Entering inside, he made a rough judgement of the room. Scanning around, his eyes fell on a chest at the side of the table.

The chest had many luxurious patterns engraved on it. The room was quite simple without much furniture or things of great value so the chest stood out too much.

"Does this chest belong to the Saintess?"Lucas asked curiously.

"Huh!" Oswald stared at the chest in incredulity.

"No, it isn't her. The Holy Lady doesn't keep such high-priced things."

Getting the lead, Lucas walked towards the chest. On extending his hand towards it, an electrifying sensation erupted from it pushing away his hands.

"Ouch!"Lucas stepped back grimacing in pain.

"What happened?"Both Henry and Oswald, exclaiming in shock, tried to take a look.

Their hand was also repelled by some sort of barrier startling them.

"What's in there?"They mumbled.

"What's this chest doing here?"Oswald spoke in confusion.

"I think it's something important."

Lucas pulled out a key and as he extended it towards the chest, under everyone's astonished gaze, a blue barrier that encased the chest started to disappear.

Stepping forward, he put the key into the keyhole cautiously.

CLINK!

The lid of the chest flung open with a click and seeing the scene inside it, Lucas shrieked.

"Saintess!"

"Holy Lady!"

Oswald's face glinted with bewilderment seeing Luna locked inside the chest.

Her hands and feet were wrapped with clothes.

"Stop staring at me and take me out."Luna protested.

"Oh yes!"

They uncuffed her wondering who dared to commit such a vile act.

Lucas wiped the beads of sweat.

'Oh, my god! What's going on here? If she is here, then where is Julian?'

Lucas coughed a bit to draw everyone's attention and asked.

"Saintess, do you know where Her Highness is!"

"Imprudent brat, can't you see the condition of Holy Lady? She needs some rest before she can entertain you."Oswald scowled.

This time Lucas's expression was cold.

"Priest Oswald, are you saying that you will take responsibility if something happens to Her Highness?"

"Let me remind you, she is the apple of the eye of the Imperial family. Even if it's just a scratch, the Emperor wouldn't hesitate to burn your Holy State."Lucas cursed at him.

"What? Are you condemning us? You are filthy heretic."Oswald refuted.

"Keep quiet!"Luna shouted and glared at Oswald.

"All of you get out and Lucas you stay here. I want to discuss something with you here."

Luna's words shocked Oswald and he retorted"Holy Lady, how can I leave you alone with this vile boy? What if he tries to assault you?"

Luna's eyes flashed with chill as she gave Oswald a deathly glare "Do you want to get revoked? If not then just get out."

"Sir, please take him out," Luna asked Henry who nodded and pulled out Oswald.

"I should also go out."Lucas coughed embarrassedly.

"No, you stay here."

An awkward silence fell in the room as everyone left. Lucas also wanted to get out of there. If given a second chance, Lucas promised himself that he wouldn't fight in the battle royal and come here.

He was sure that the Saintess had seen something.

Luna leaned up a bit and stared at Lucas with mixed emotions.

"Who are you?"

As soon as she said that, Lucas felt his mind explode.

"Hahaha! Saintess, what do you mean by that?"

"I am Lucas Bright, a student of Horizon," Lucas spoke with an awkward smile.

"I am not asking that."Luna cut off Lucas's words and spoke menacingly.

"What is your real identity?"Her voice became cold and her yellow eyes turned green.

"Let me ask you once again. Who are you? You don't seem to belo..."

"Ahhhh!"

A scream erupted from Luna's lips out of nowhere and a heaven-defying scene appeared before her.

The flow of time paused for a moment. Everything around the world ceased. Except for the sound of her ragged breathing and wildly thumping heart, all other noises of the world ceased to exist.

She attempted to open her lips again, but words stuck in her throat. At that time, thousands of strings of fate wrapped around her neck forcing her to swallow her words.

This was a signal.

No, this was a warning from Providence that she wasn't allowed to continue her sentence. If she spoke any more than this, something bad would happen. The string of fate that was binding the lives of many might be torn resulting in a catastrophe.

Luna gasped heavily and stared down as the thick bundle of strings wrapped around her neck and then turned towards Lucas whose body had also frozen.

It was then she saw a shadow flashing behind Lucas from a blue screen and the manifestation of the figure had a similar appearance to Lucas but the bloody killing intention radiating from him made his face dyed in blood.

Before Luna could understand the situation, the whole world in her eyes turned blank.

QUAKE!QUAKE!

"Earthquake, no the whole world is trembling."Luna gasped in shock.

For a moment, Luna was pulled into a battlefield with corpses and shards of broken weapons.

Corpses filled the ground and blood from corpses had formed a shallow ocean of half feet deep.

QUANG!QUANG!QUANG!QUANG!

The sound of weapons clashing with one another resonated and thunder roared in the sky. It was then, an uncountable number of shadows flashed around that seemed to sing the hymn of war and praise someone.

Her eyes were then drawn towards an overwhelming presence that made her doubt the existence of such a being.

In the middle, a man sat on a huge pile of corpses forming a throne.

His blood-red eyes were tired and filled with boredom as if nothing in the world could cause a ripple on his face.

It was simply devoid of any emotion.

That gaze….That presence….

That man seemed to be the embodiment of fear in itself.

No, he was death in itself unbound by any laws.

The man's blood-red eyes shone and as he locked those terrifying piercing gazes on her, Luna's whole body trembled as if her body was gonna burst into pieces.

Her eyes glowed and her divinity erupted illuminating the whole place with a holy light. As if a Goddess had descended the land, Holy Hymns reverberated in the sky trying to counter the man.

However...

It was then all noises in the world ceased and from shadows, countless blood-red eyes erupted, locking her with a killing ferocious intent.

The figure of the Goddess behind her vanished as if it didn't exist.

Fear struck her heart and her soul was almost shattered by the coercion.

She could feel that person had restrained his aura otherwise, he could slay an entire army of a top powerhouse with those gazes only.

It was then a deadly deep cold solemn voice emerged from his lips.

"Woman!"

"Know your place."
