Rise of the Rejected Deity from Chaos

Chapter 112 - 111: Wielding The Sword of Severance

"Where’s your staff?" Kaeliyus asked as they both walked out the airport.

"At home," Seiya replied.

They stopped at a corner, away from the sun because it had risen.

"Then, will you go back home to retrieve it?" Kaeliyus asked.

"Mn."

"….. Can’t you just summon it like you did in the cavern?" He asked.

"Well, it’s daytime right now," Seiya pointed out.

"….." Kaeliyus was struck silent, feeling a bit dumb that he had overlooked such an obvious point.

"Yeah I guess it’ll be weird for people to suddenly see a staff shooting through the air," Kaeliyus said.

"Then let’s get back home first, my Lord."

As Seiya turned to depart in

But this dark energy was not merely a screen or a barrier separating two paths. Through Seiya’s eyes, it was clear the energy extended far and wide, encircling a vast area—the entirety of the said village.

The dark force enveloped the village in a thick, spherical shape, rising and curving upwards, enclosing everything in its grasp. From where Seiya stood, he could see the full extent of it: a massive sphere, encasing the village in an impenetrable embrace.

However, Seiya noted something else that made his brows wrinkle in confusion, eyes narrowing behind his blindfold.

Noticing Seiya’s silence as he stood, staring at the barrier, Kaeliyus was prompted to ask.

"Is there an issue, my Lord," he asked, looking to Seiya for an answer.

"I can’t," Seiya began softly, raising Kaeliyus’ brow in question. "I can’t see through the barrier," he said.

"I had thought these eyes were ones that could pierce through anything," Seiya continued. "But I guess not."

Well, not like the eyes have fully awakened to their complete state yet, Kaeliyus thought to himself.

"I guess it’s limited," Kaeliyus said. "Plus, the barrier is also a powerful one," he added.

"I guess so," Seiya responded, stepping forward, closer to the barrier to further study it.

"Since you have no presence, they wouldn’t even sense you so you can sneak up on them," Kaeliyus began, stepping forward. "Me, however, I think I’ll alert them with my mere presence should I remain by your side when we get in. Thereby compromising your chance of entering unnoticed."

With his eyes focused on the barrier, Seiya replied. "It doesn’t matter," he said calmly. "I had no thought of sneaking in like a rat in the first place."

Kaeliyus’ heart pounded loudly at his words, his gaze fixed on Seiya as a cold chill ran through him. A sense of excitement stirred within him, thrilled by his young Lord’s bold approach at things—by his daring confidence.

Kaeliyus couldn’t help but respect him more for his way of viewing things, his way of approaching situations—he was exhilarated at this that his smile only stretched wider every passing moment.

Reaching out his hand to feel the barrier, Seiya squeezed shut his eyes behind the blindfold as he listened intently, hoping to hear any heart pulsation within the barrier.

However, no matter how much he strained to listen, he heard nothing.

"I can’t hear it as well," he said softly. "It’s like everything is blocked out. Like the village enclosed is an entirely different space from this world."

"I can only see thin smoke-like clouds smeared all around the barrier—likely the villagers’ life forces," he added.

Though Seiya spoke, Kaeliyus, a few steps behind, could not hear a single word. He was lost in a daze, his gaze fixed on Seiya’s back, filled with growing respect and admiration.

"Now, to separate the villagers’ life forces and break the barrier, I—"

Kaeliyus shot forward, blocking Seiya’s path and cutting him off. Find your next read at .Côm

"My Lord," he breathed, a faint mist curling from his lips. His grin stretched wide, trembling with nervous excitement as he stood before Seiya.

"Please," he began, his breath hot. "Use me this time. I am a sword of severance. I will cut down any obstacle in your path. So please—wield me."
