<h4>Volume 5, Prologue: The Sealed Sun </h4>


    Trantor: raylight


    “Stop!”


    I stopped in my tracks. Although these people didn’t pose any threat to me at all, pausing to y with them seemed to be a pretty good way to pass the time.


    “Look at us… Turn around, open your eyes and look at us!” I could hear that the person was trying hard to contain the aggravation in his voice, but he couldn’t quite manage to do so. In the end, he was practically roaring the rest of his words.


    “Why?” I still chose not to do so, and merely smiled as I said, “I don’t need to do that. I can see all of you guys, and I can see everything clearly.”


    Yes, I could see everything clearly. The temple at my back was originally an orderly and spectacr building. At the entrance, there were two giant stone doors. If the doors were closed, the center would form arge Sun crest. At each side, there stood long colonnades. Behind the stone pirs were enormous walls that spread out in a fan-shaped fashion to epass an arced za.


    However, regardless of whether it was the door, the pirs, or the walls, they were all engraved with meaningless decorations, causing me to have to spend more mental and physical effort to sense those useless things than usual!


    Nevertheless, now it looked a lot better. All the pirs had fallen to the ground, the decorative designs had been worn smooth, and I had already destroyed the two giant stone doors with an explosion. The entire temple had been turned into a giant pile of stone rubble. This way, sensing it had be a lot more convenient. All I needed to sense was a rough shape to avoid tripping over the rocks while walking. As for what kind of decorative designs or carvings were on the rocks, they weren’t important anymore.


    “Sun! Turn around and look at us!”


    What a troublesome fellow!


    I simply teleported in front of him, with a distance of roughly just ten centimeters left between us, and then opened my eyes. As I spoke, I spat my words onto his face with each breath. “As you wish. To dare to call me back, and to dare to order me to open my eyes, have you already prepared yourself for death?”


    The other person’s breathing became rapid, and in a panic, he said, “Your eyes…”


    “What about them?” I taunted. “Are they also ck? Is this very umon? My eyes weren’t the only things that changed color.”


    Instead, he tly denied, “It’s not ck, it’s…”


    “I do not wish to hear!” After I gave a low growl, I ridiculed, “I’m unable to see the color that you would say anyway. So, the whole world only needs to have one color, and that will be enough. That is ck, ck, and ck! Hahaha!”


    I let out a sudden burst of dark element, and sent his whole body flying. He was originally already heavily injured, so he waspletely unable to counter the attack. Immediately after being sted, he rolled quite a few rounds on the floor, and then covered his mouth with his hand as he coughed violently. What he coughed up was mouthfuls of blood.


    Among the knights who were all over the floor, only two of them were still able to stand up. Once the two of them saw the heavily injured person coughing up a lot of blood, they instantly revealed an anxious expression, and went to help him up. However, the injuries on their bodies weren’t light either. When they lifted him up, they swayed from side to side. If they had really fallen, then I guess the injuries of the three of them would be more serious; it would be dying simply because of stupidity!


    Teasingly, I said, “What a bunch of fools. If you guys had stayed further away from this guy, you might have been able to keep your lives.”


    The three of them lifted their heads, and the fool being supported roared at me, “Sun! Do you really think so?”


    “I am Grisia.” I replied unhappily. What do I have to do to make this fellow remember my name? I had undoubtedly been calling his name all along. He is… Eh! What exactly was his name again… Right, it’s Lesus!


    I remember now. With a smile, I said, “Lesus Judgment, if you kneel down and call me Grisia, maybe I can consider letting you off.”


    Lesus looked at me, and his expression seemed to be one of… grief, I guess? Perhaps it is, or perhaps there’s the possibility that I am reading too much into it. He is merely upset. Who knows, he might actually be considering whether to kneel down and beg me? Hahaha!


    At this point, one of the people holding up Lesus suddenly shouted, “You are not Sun, and you’re also not Grisia. You’re not anything!”


    I abruptly stoppedughing, and coldly looked at the person who had spoken. That person was… Chikus. That’s right, it’s Chikus. He always seems to love saying stuff that I don’t like to hear.


    “Kill them, Rnd. All of them…” I paused for a while, and pointed at Lesus, saying, “Except for him. I want to personally kill this guy! You can start first, I want him to look on helplessly as everybody else dies!”


    “Yes!” Rnd walked past my side, and walked towards Lesus and the others. In his hand he was holding his family heirloom, the wicked sword.


    That’s strange, was he here just now? I was a little suspicious. Theoretically speaking, there shouldn’t be anything able to hide from my sensing abilities, especially Rnd’s dark element that was this thick.


    At that moment, Rnd lunged in with his de, and his speed was so fast that he was like a blur of shadow. It was only when he swung his sword at Chikus that I could see him clearly. Chikus waspletely unable to react in time, and the sword hit his shoulder bone. The sword even went all the way through to his chest, perhaps even cutting his heart into two.


    Without even having the time to shout, Chikus copsed immediately.


    “ze!”


    The other person supporting Lesus was Elmairy. He yelled agitatedly, and was about to rush forward. However, Rnd pulled out the sword from ze’s body, and with a back-hand slice, he actually managed to chop off Elmairy’s head.


    I walked up in maniacughter. Now, there is only Lesus left. This fellow… I want to personally deal with him!


    All of a sudden, a shadow abruptly dashed out, and stood in front of Lesus. It was . He spread both arms out wide, protecting Lesus, and then yelled at me, “Sun, hurry and stop it! Do you know what are you doing right now? The Twelve Holy Knights would never murder the other Twelve Holy Knights, this is what you said before!”


    I gave a cold snort, and Rnd instantly dashed forward. He brandished his sword, and with two swings drew arge X-shaped wound on Ice’s chest. The injury was so deep that bone could be seen.


    After aplishing his job, he pulled his de out and backed away.  subsequently copsed slowly. Of course, it was the kind of copse which one can never climb up from ever again.


    “Stop it! Stop it!”


    Lesus looked as though he were in so much pain as to wish he were dead. He took out a sword that was radiating holy light… That’s strange. Was he holding this sword in his hand just now? I was a little suspicious again. However, what Lesus said afterwards immediately drew away my attention.


    “Grisia, Grisia! I beg you, take the Divine Sun Sword! Take it!”


    “Since you called my name… Fine, as you wish.”


    I walked up to him, and extended a hand to grab hold of the Divine Sun Sword. The holy light that was brimming over the surface of the sword made me feel extremely ufortable. It was almost blinding. On my hands there was a hot feeling, but it didn’t hurt.


    At this moment, Lesus revealed an expression of hope. He tried asking, “Sun?”


    After I looked at him and gave him a smile, he too cracked a smile. However, following that, he lowered his head to look at the whole floor of corpses, and in great sorrow, he said, “Su-Sun… Don’t me yourself too much; all of this had nothing to do with you. All of it should be med on the person who has caused this.”


    “No, it has something to do with me.” I said with a smile, “Because I am the one who ordered Rnd to kill them.”


    Lesus stiffened.


    At this point, I thrust the Divine Sun Sword forward, and even before Lesus had stopped moving, the de of the sword had already entered his chest, leaving only the hilt to be seen.


    He staggered, but he still managed to stand upright. He even lifted his head, and with a bitter smile, he said, “Grisia… No, you are not Grisia. Even if it had been Grisia, he would not kill us. Grisia is already dead. He’s long dead. You are only, only…”


    I am…?


    Lesus, Lesus! Don’t copse, tell me…


    What exactly am I?
