Chapter 619: The Zodiac Dragon Family
Manu’s frown deepened as he listened to the priestess’s words. Silently, he retreated into his consciousness, descending into his inner realm.
In the bleak void of his mind’s landscape, Chiron— tortured and bound by writhing, serpent-like chains, his left leg already lost to nothingness. Chiron raised his head slowly, his eyes ever glinting with defiance.
"What, got a problem with me... snake breath?"
The insult ignited Manu’s anger, and in a flash, he was upon Chiron, his hand clenched tightly around his prisoner’s neck. "Where is it... the Guardian Token?" Manu demanded as his grip tightened.
Chiron’s eyes widened slightly, a faint spark of surprise in his gaze. "So, that’s what it’s called," he sneered. "I just called it a rainbow box... Unfortunately, I don’t know where it is."
Manu’s gaze drilled into Chiron, reading him deeply, though he sensed no deception.
Yet Manu knew Chiron’s cunning nature all too well, and he wasn’t about to take any chances. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a small, gleaming pill from the Fate Change System—a memory booster, the same potent tool Chiron had once relied on to recall crucial information of his past life.
Manu did not mind that chiron did not remember, at least, he hoped that was it. The memory booster would help do the job well.
He forced the pill into Chiron’s mouth, watching as its effects took hold. A moment passed, then another, and yet Chiron’s expression remained unchanged. "Like I said," Chiron rasped, "I don’t know what happened to it. That day, the aura gods and I clashed, and it was gone... destroyed."
Manu’s frustration mounted, but he withdrew from the mental space, his suspicions eased only slightly.
He’d reviewed every shard of Chiron’s memories, and although it didn’t add up, he knew Chiron had nothing left to hide. Returning to his thoughts, he cursed under his breath.@@@@
Ten thousand years ago, the Guardian Token had served as a keystone in the formation that had once bound him. And now, it was an essential element in the ritual he was planning to restore his full power.
Her skin suddenly grew cold, and angry boils rose along her flesh, bursting with sickening pus as she collapsed, lifeless, to the ground.
Without a second glance, Manu swept from the room, his mind already set on his next move.
His next destination would be beyond the vail.
A tesseract waited for him outside the castle. Immediately he entered it, it took to the sky in a certain direction. However, it would not be until another two days before it would reach where he wanted it to be.
Beyond the veil was a point in this world, that was both within but yet existed on a semi higher plane than the rest of the world. it was not a entirely a physical barrier but more of a door.
Its entrances were scattered in different parts of the world. Of course all of these entrances were individual entries into different territories, by members of the round table.
These locations were usually guarded by their respective family members. The reason for this was not to stop the people from below the veil, after all, they would not survive beyond the veil as a result of their lacking dantain.
The guards were in place to stop other members of the round table from using these points as a means to enter each other’s territory.
The only point beyond the veil that did not have a guard nor needed one was the point leading into the Nether realm.
On getting to one such locations, Manu was faced with a guard, a sleeping dragon, right before the entrance.
"State you business or leave!" the dragon, an earth dragon, with a very huge form and clothed armor, spoke in a harsh tone.
Manu did not step out of the tesseract but rather sent his spiritual pressure out as he spoke, "The savior of your dying family. Go tell your patriarch to personally come give my welcome...."
