Chapter 292: The Outcome II (2/2)

Maybe if it was a normal person going through this maddening shift of changes, they would have long lost their sanity.

Not to mention, in response to this madness, Ozul didn't even feel like interfering.

All in all, if the duo was suffering, then his state of being wasn't so peaceful as it looked from the outside either.

The calm and serene appearance from the outside was like a giant glass wall that held a body of water with myriads of waves behind it.

Things gradually calmed down as the duo begin to feel at peace as well. Nothing bad had happened for a few minutes, and they began to get the idea that it might be because of Ozul's 'peculiarity'.

Nonetheless, they still had their worries.

Fortunately for them, the feeling of dread they felt merely for being in the presence of Ozul also slowly lifted away.

The slow winds circling around Ozul's body calmed down as well, leaving nothing but a land of tranquility.

In a moment, it felt as if the whole world had come to a standstill. Maybe even the time had stopped, but the duo couldn't tell a difference.

What felt like an eternity ended with just a single second when Ozul's eyes moved. His shoulders relaxed as if they were previously being held by some external force.

Raven and Blaze were forced to hold their breaths when Ozul slowly opened his eyes with an indifferent face.

”...”

”...”

Their hearts couldn't help but beat faster when they saw the completely black bead-like eyes staring at them as if their bodies were just a transparent glass and even their soul was laid bare before those eyes.

'Hmm?! Did I see wrong?' Blaze wondered as just the next moment, Ozul blinked and the pure black sclera that seemingly swallowed stars in it turned to white again!

Just in that split second, maybe he had seen wrong... is what Blaze thought. However, he would have been shocked if he had asked Raven about it. Because at this moment, she had the same thoughts as him!

Even she was wondering if her eyes had played an illusion just now.

But pushing these thoughts to the back of their mind, Raven and Blaze instantly rushed towards Ozul who was now surveying his surroundings with interest.

While all of this was happening here, the rest of the Mainland barely felt any changes.

Maybe nothing had changed in this realm... but something did happen in a place far away from here.

—————————

Deep inside an enormous structure that everyone stared at with revering eyes, a man sat at the highest throne placed in an empty and dark hall.

Around him were two more chairs, but they were empty at this moment as well.

Though observing from the dust that had settled on those chairs and the rest of the hall, one could only imagine how long it had been that someone had cleaned this place.

Despite the dark hallway, one thing that was visible even from the far most corners were the lush golden hair of the man.

He had long golden hair which, at this moment, were drooped over his face. His back lazily resting against the back of the rusty old throne, one couldn't tell the age of this man.

But, those who could have recognized this man would have surely been shocked to notice his current appearance.

Those hair that continuously glowed with a golden light only belonged to a single person in all of the realms.

This peculiar trait would have made this man stand out just about anywhere in the crowd and have his identity recognized, but there were only a few people who knew about the existence of this hall.

Because of how the man with golden hair wasn't even moving, one could have guessed that he was dead.

However, it was at this moment when the man suddenly leaned forward, his hair floated before uncovering his god-like face and the serene golden eyes brightened the hall.

The red thin lips pursed before loosening again as a heartfelt sigh escaped the man's heavy throat.

”What am I even sighing for... it was inevitable...”
