Chapter 56
My heart pounded at his words. I can’t believe I’m about to experience such divine power. I gulped silently with my hands clasped together.
There was certainly a god in this world. His existence was never up for question and the people believed in the divine being with their whole heart. The gods of this world made themselves known through the Church and the existence of miracles. While there were a lot of discussions about which god was better, questioning the deity’s existence was never an occurrence.
PAAA!—
God’s divinity ca out of Lavis’ hands. The bluish light slowly flowed from his hands through my throat. Gentle heat ward my skin then the pain caused by an unknown foreign substance began to simr down. A slight, scratchy feeling tickled my throat and I supposed Lavis’ power must be working.
My heart fluttered in excitent. There are so many things I want to do once my throat gets better. I want to sing, I want to converse with Lina, I want to complain to my heart’s content and I want to thank her for everything she’s done for .
It’s only been two months and a half since I couldn’t speak, but the absence of it felt like forever. I certainly missed it.
Even if I didn’t talk that much before this happened, losing the ability to speak so suddenly felt like soone had covered my mouth to prevent from talking. Having this experience, I now understand the difference between not wanting to do sothing, and not doing sothing simply because you can’t.
While these thoughts were running through my mind, sothing surprising happened. Huh?
An intense blue light on my eyelids awakened . With his eyes wide open, Lavis was emitting blue light from his whole body. What’s this?
Unlike before, the blue light only ca from his hands, but now his whole body was shining a bluish glow. The gleaming shine would normally hurt the eyes but strangely, it wasn’t not at all unpleasant. In the midst of it all, I noticed sothing unfamiliar heading straight at .
I couldn’t see it, but I felt it.
What’s going on here?
“Iona, co here!”
Then the Emperor grabbed , took in his arms and stepped back. Lotuburu was clenched in his hands. He must have summoned his sword without knowing. The Emperor growled at the light and shouted, “For God’s sake!”
A look of grimace was displayed on the Emperor’s features, like he was feeling so kind of pain. What exactly is this light?
I felt kind of ashad by his sudden behavior. Lavis, who had been staring blankly at the space before him, turned his head slowly to look at .
Lavis?
His eyes were soft as ever, but the atmosphere felt entirely different. The soft expression in his face I found comfort in earlier didn’t feel that way anymore. There was no ounce of emotion in his eyes. And when his gaze landed on , I felt like the wind was knocked out of my chest and for so strange reason, it felt a little bit familiar.
What is this feeling?
Then Lavis spoke to , but the voice that ca out of him wasn’t his own.
[We finally t]
It was neither a man’s nor a woman’s. It was just a low-pitched voice.
The Emperor pointed Lotuburu to Lavis threateningly, or whoever it was that stood in Lavis’ place. “I don’t think it’s your ti to show up.”
The sharp, pointed tip of the sword touched Lavis’ neck. He nudged the blade just slightly and tiny drops of blood dripped beneath the flesh. But the wound healed just as quickly as a bluish glow blood from that very spot.
Wait! What if Lavis gets hurt?
I hurriedly tried to grab the sword from his hands. The Emperor was so angry he really could have hurt Lavis the way he intended to, his eyes sharp as daggers. Despite the Emperor’s threat, Lavis was still looking at , smiling all the while.
[I’ll be right back.]
The smile on his face made feel uneasy. Originally, Lavis’ smile was certainly warm, but now it was the opposite. It felt like he was looking at from above with that nacing smile that was anything but friendly. The thing inside of Lavis spoke once again.
[Please. You…]
He looked at , his face falling into a sad expression but then he wasn’t able to finish his sentence as he dropped bonelessly on the sofa.
Lavis!
Surprised, I tried to go reach him to check on his condition but the Emperor pulled back and warned, “Stay away from him.”
Looking at the Emperor, he was still staring at Lavis with a strange expression displayed on his face. Lotuburu was already kept hidden, but his expression was still as guarded.
I could only look at Lavis at a distance since the Emperor had secured in his hold. Despite everything that happened, Lavis looked calm and serene, bearing the face of soone who had just woken up, like soone who wasn’t aware of what happened to his surroundings.
I let out a sigh of relief. Who was that?
The Emperor was still securing tightly by the arms. I frowned at the slight discomfort. Just as I was about to gesture to him to let go, I heard him muttering to himself.
“I can’t believe Theres showed up…”
My eyes widened at the revelation.
