Chapter 528 : The Divine Chain in the Thick Fog

The thick fog swallowed everything like a tide.

Felyn couldn't see the road ahead at all.

He didn't know if there was a house or a ravine in front of him, didn't know if the path ahead was passable.

Fortunately, when he was setting up the village's defensive lines earlier, he had stood atop the church and seen the layout of the entire village.

Varil Village wasn't large, and the streets and buildings were relatively simple. After fumbling his way onto a village road, Felyn started running without a moment's pause.

"Viloti..."

In this deathly silent world, only that crimson divine chain still flickered. It became the only light in Felyn's eyes, the only hope.

The power from the Blazing Sun Goddess was transmitted through the divine chain. That dazzling, fiery red cluster of light passed through the chain into Viloti's body at an extremely fast speed.

Felyn sucked in a cold breath. He knew this was the prelude to the activation of a divine art. Once the divine art was activated, the divine chain would disappear.

He ran forward with all his might, but the light of that chain gradually dimmed.

Felyn gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on that divine chain.

He hoped his eyes were playing tricks on him, hoped he was hallucinating.

But after flashing a few times, the divine chain still disappeared.

Viloti had activated her divine art. This was the second divine art she had released today.

However, Felyn couldn't hear anything.

No explosion, no shockwave, he couldn't even feel any of the power a divine art should have.

He had personally seen the power of a god being transmitted to Viloti through the divine chain. A divine art should have been activated, but why couldn't he hear anything?

Could it be... could it all have been absorbed by this damn thick fog?

Felyn's gaze remained fixed on the position where the divine chain had been. He wasn't paying attention to his feet and was tripped by a brick while running.

Heaven and earth swapped places. Before he could react, Felyn felt a sharp pain in his palm as his whole body fell heavily to the ground.

"It's over... it's over..."

The hormones in his body began to rise rapidly, making him feel like he wanted to vomit.

He propped himself up with both hands, slowly stood up, and froze on the spot.

In the vast fog, Felyn looked up, gazing around with some despair.

The divine chain of Viloti just now... where was it?

Because of the fall, after Felyn got up, he had completely lost his sense of direction.

"Viloti!"

The only response to Felyn was a deathly silence.

The world was left with only an oppressive dark red.

In the thick fog with extremely low visibility, Felyn knew he could no longer find Viloti's position.

"How... how could this happen..."

His breathing became rapid, the sound of his heartbeat growing louder and louder.

Fear swept over his whole body like a wave, his hands and feet turning cold.

His body had long been cut in several places by branches and debris, but Felyn felt no pain.

And he didn't notice that his wounds were gradually being covered by a sky-blue divine art light, helping to heal them.

"Viloti!!"

Still no response.

Felyn couldn't forget the look in Viloti's eyes when she left just now, couldn't forget her back as she turned and walked away from him.

He had rejected Viloti too many times, and had seen her solitary figure too many times.

In his memory, Viloti would always be carrying her schoolbag alone at sunset, walking solitarily towards the gates of Saint Andros Academy.

The setting sun would stretch her shadow very, very long, and the people around would intentionally or unintentionally avoid her.

Even during the contract, Felyn would genuinely worry about a Viloti like that from the bottom of his heart.

Only at this moment did Felyn realize that during the process of the contract service with Viloti, he had also developed many feelings that shouldn't have existed.

He used the contract as an excuse to block Viloti's feelings and also sealed his own.

But feelings don't disappear; they just exist forever in a forgotten form.

It turned out that he had long grown accustomed to having Viloti by his side.

Felyn reached out his hand towards the air, his fingers covered in blood and dust.

He felt he was very foolish, thinking that as long as he reached out his hand, he would get a response from Viloti, that her slender, soft hand would reach out from the air and then they would hold each other tightly.

This time, the response to Felyn was still nothingness.

"So foolish."

He muttered to himself.

"Playing some self-indulgent drama, thinking Viloti would appear by my side. I've actually started to believe in miracles too."

He shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly.

But then, his pupils began to dilate.

Felyn was wrong.

Praying to the gods, the gods would not respond.

But calling out to Viloti, she would definitely respond to Felyn.

The crimson divine chain appeared once again in the dark red fog. Viloti was preparing to activate her third divine chain.

The divine chain descending from the sky once again gave Felyn hope. He had no time to think and immediately ran towards the position of that divine chain.

Viloti, this time, I won't lose you again.

This time, I won't leave you behind again.

The divine chain was getting closer, probably only a few hundred meters away.

Here, the thick fog gradually thinned, and Felyn's visibility became higher and higher.

But the light cluster within the divine chain once again passed through the chain to Viloti's body at a rapid speed. She was about to release her divine art!

Even for Viloti, the number of times she could currently release "Final Hymn" was limited.

After this divine art was released, Felyn would never see Viloti's divine chain again. Felyn would no longer be able to find Viloti through the position of the divine chain.

And Viloti, unable to release her divine art, would be completely unable to withstand Silvana's attack.

She would fall to the ground, she would close her eyes, she would curl up her body.

Felyn didn't dare to imagine that scene.

He quickened his pace, rushing forward recklessly.

Wounds continuously appeared on his body, and were continuously healed.

His blood flowed and flowed, repeatedly soaking his clothes.

"Roar!!!"

A beast-like roar came from in front of Felyn. Because he was close to the center of the "Crimson Abyss Barrier," Felyn could hear the surrounding sounds.

A huge tail swung towards Felyn. He dodged sideways. The tail slammed into the ground with a loud bang, and many cracks appeared on the ground.

It was Silvana's magical beast, the Iron-Armored Giant Lizard.

Felyn took out a sixth-tier sigil and cast it instantly, knocking the Iron-Armored Giant Lizard to the ground.

Just as Felyn was about to turn his head and continue running towards the position of the divine chain, another black shadow suddenly appeared in the thick fog, smashing heavily onto his back.

There wasn't just one magical beast. The closer he got to Silvana, the more magical beasts there were.

Felyn was knocked to the ground by this sudden attack. His vision became a little blurry, and the ringing in his ears made him very uncomfortable.

A warmth rose in his throat, and Felyn felt a burning pain in his back.

He shook his head and saw four or five Iron-Armored Giant Lizards walking out of the thick fog.

They roared, blocking Felyn's path with their bodies.

At this moment, the light cluster of Viloti's divine chain was already very close to the ground. After the divine art was activated, the divine chain would disappear.

If he missed it...

"All of you..."

Felyn staggered to his feet, his trembling hand taking out the last two seventh-tier sigils. They were his last remaining trump cards.

In an instant, vast and complex sigil patterns bloomed around him, reflecting on the faces of the magical beasts.

Two streams of power from the gods poured into the sigils, bursting forth with an unstoppable light.

"All of you... get lost!!!"

Felyn roared at the top of his lungs. The two seventh-tier sigils, modified by Daiyi, activated instantly. The dazzling light pierced through the thick fog like a sharp sword.

Pillars of light shot up into the sky. The air and magic power began to distort under this force.

The earth was plowed into a bottomless, scorched ravine. The magical beasts didn't even have time to let out a wail. Their hard carapaces were disintegrated into dust the moment they came into contact with the two pillars of light.

In the midst of the devastating light, the world returned to a state of deathly silence.

The thick fog was pierced by Felyn's body, leaving an afterimage.

He ran with all his might towards the direction of the divine chain, but it was already too late.

The light cluster representing the power of the gods had already disappeared, merging into Viloti's body. The divine art had been activated.

Felyn took a deep breath and, with his last bit of strength, roared hoarsely in that direction:

"Viloti!!!"

This time, he finally got a response.

"Felyn!"

That familiar, heart-trembling voice came, and Felyn's heart almost leaped out of his chest.

He had never been so eager to hear Viloti's voice, had never needed this response so much.

Thank goodness......

This is really great......

Finally...... I finally made it.......
