Chaos had at all times been a extra mysterious entity to Zayne than Destiny, for the additional he progressed in his journey, the extra he realized how complicated Chaos was.

Within the case of Destiny, even with its darkish aspect, every part made sense, however within the case of Chaos, by no means. Every time one thing new was revealed, and to Zayne’s shock, his emotions modified as properly.

Zayne was completely sure that his emotions weren’t being manipulated, for though the 2 entities didn’t exist in his homeworld, every part labored as in the event that they did, however didn’t present themselves.

In Zayne’s world, there was one other drive that was equal in all worlds – it was luck. In entrance of luck, everybody was concurrently equal and never, because it may have a look at anybody. It was the true Chaos and Destiny of his world. 

Luck couldn’t be managed, however on this world, the consequences of Destiny’s affect might be mounted. Nonetheless, Destiny helped those that have been already fortunate, and Chaos may restore hope even to these whom luck had forgotten. 

So, now Zayne had reached the following stage in his journey. He had seen Chaos Flame many instances and fought in opposition to its creatures, however this was the primary time he had seen one thing come straight out of the flames.

“What the hell…?” Zayne muttered in disbelief, wanting on the tall, darkish silhouette.

A fog was thickened across the silhouette, hiding physique elements, however, in truth, it wasn’t obligatory. The silhouette had no eyes, no mouth, and no ears, it was utterly faceless.

Whooooooooooooooooooosh.

In a heartbeat, the flame went out because the silhouette stopped in entrance of Zayne. Then, he seen one thing unusual.

“Agh…?” Zayne seemed on the silhouette’s palms in shock, they have been closed as if it was holding one thing in them.

The silhouette nodded barely, slowly realizing its palms up and leisurely opening its palms.

On the palms have been two emblems, one was triangular and the opposite was spherical. The triangular one had a jaw mark with bloody enamel and the triangular one had three emblems without delay: a sword, a protect, and a break up coronary heart.

“Nicely, now I’ve to select, do not I?” Zayne muttered as he glanced on the silhouette, however it did not react to him in any approach.

Zayne wasn’t the one one who was puzzled, it was shocking for the others to see it too. They did not participate within the Chaos Trial, however, they might see every part since they have been spectators.

“Rattling, it seems to be like his possibilities of success would possibly change drastically now.” Edvin muttered with a slight frown.

“Hm? What are you speaking about?” Kota requested with a curious expression in addition to Toruf. He had by no means seen such a factor earlier than both.

“Agh…” Edvin sighed, “It implies that proper now one thing is occurring on the planet that requires an essential alternative. Actually, proper now, the possibilities of his success rely on which emblem he takes.”

Kota seemed fastidiously at Zayne, who with a sophisticated look contemplated over the selection.

“In that case… What ought to he take?” Kota requested.

Edvin shrugged, “The left emblem with the jaw mark. I’ve examine related Chaos Trials and in every such case, the symbol with a number of sigils was far more tough because the Trial was divided into a number of levels.”

Toruf gulped. There was no approach he may advise Zayne, nobody may information him or level him to the appropriate alternative. All Toruf may do was hope that Zayne would not make a mistake.

Zayne’s hand headed for the appropriate jaw emblem. For some cause, he felt it was what he wanted, nevertheless, on the final second he stopped.

‘Wait… If I wish to be taught extra about Chaos, I have to see issues from totally different angles… Three totally different emblems, a sword, a protect, and a break up coronary heart… That must be much more attention-grabbing than some monster with jaws should not it?’ Zayne contemplated for a second earlier than taking the left emblem.

“Oh… Appears like luck is not on his aspect at this time…” Edvin muttered with a darkish face, ”Nonetheless, he has nobody guilty however himself. He was the one one liable for this.”

Whoooooooooooooooooosh.

As quickly as Zayne’s hand touched the symbol, it glowed brightly and the silhouette erupted in scarlet flames. The second emblem melted in addition to the silhouette, disappearing into the void. Zayne was left alone, on the final platform of a bone bridge in the midst of an enormous lake. 

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Then, the bottom shook and ripples rippled throughout the lake. Everybody held their breath, ready for the Chaos Trial to start. It was a uncommon occasion, particularly when the individuals had a alternative. No creature close to Darkish Mist Forest at that second may miss one thing so important.

…

“Commander! Can we take one other break…?” Fosca requested, respiratory closely however following Marcus, who was utterly calm.

“Hm? Did not I say the earlier break can be an afterthought? It is best to work in your stamina extra.” Marcus coldly replied.

“Marcus… Please.” Sara requested, “There isn’t any level if we get there sooner, however we will not even take one step.”I believe it’s best to check out

Marcus remained silent, then he nodded, “Fantastic, however I will not make any extra exceptions.”

They stopped abruptly, subsequent to the rocks, in the midst of Darkish Mist Forest. This forest was enormous, so although Zayne was technically in Darkish Mist Forest too, there was a distance of tens of kilometers between them.

Fosca and Sara breathed a sigh of reduction whereas Marcus seemed round. He was cautious and scrutinized each motion that occurred close to them.

“Rattling, how did Zayne Fellen get right here? I imply, I perceive all that, however that is fairly far out. If it wasn’t for a private request from one of many Crusaders, we by no means would have traveled right here.” Fosca stated unhappily.

“It would not matter!” Sara stated sternly, “Our job is to avoid wasting him, that is all for now. After a brief break, we’ll proceed our journey. We do not have a lot time left, we’re already in Darkish Mist Forest.”

Marcus did not say something, he simply glanced on the women and seemed away.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

On the similar second, the bottom shook like a strong earthquake. Then, on the northern aspect of the Darkish Mist Forest, a pillar of scarlet flame erupted, enormous, shortly reaching the heavens.

“What the hell is that this…?” Fosca whispered as goosebumps went down her physique. She was a Destiny Knight, so even from this distance she simply realized that it was Chaos Flame.

Nonetheless, they’d by no means seen something prefer it of their lives, and neither had Sara. Their eyes have been extensive open and a chill ran down their backs.

“Is it actually some form of monster? No approach… Such energy is inconceivable to own!” Sara muttered in a disbelief.

“Settle down.” Marcus commanded with a wave of his hand, then he frowned, “It appears simply now the problem of our mission has elevated considerably.”

“What are you speaking about?” Fosca requested in a anxious approach, urgent her palm to her chest. 

“It is a Chaos Trial, I am positive of it. It may well’t be anything, even Apostles, are incapable of releasing that a lot power in a single second. Although… both approach it is loopy…” Marcus sighed closely, wanting on the infinite streams of fireplace striving up the pillar.

Marcus said with a critical face, “So right here goes. If we discover Zayne Fellen close to Chaos Trial, we’ll attempt to rescue him it doesn’t matter what. Nonetheless, if he’s by some means concerned in Chaos Trial, then we go straight again. Issues have change into far more harmful now, and it’s best to notice that!”

Sara and Fosca exchanged glances and nodded whereas saying, “Certain! We are going to do no matter is critical to perform our mission!”

Marcus nodded and rushed ahead. Fosca and Sara instantly adopted him. 

…

On the middle of the pillar of flames was just one particular person – Zayne. As earlier than, the flames didn’t hurt him, nevertheless, it made the sword mark on his emblem shine brightly as the primary stage of his Trial started.

Whoooooooooooooooooosh.

In a heartbeat, the flames dissipated, descending in direction of the water within the lake and altering it.

“Hmm?” Zayne tilted his head in a confusion.

The darkish, crystal clear water, out of the blue turned fairly murky and its coloration modified to crimson as if as a substitute of water, the lake now had thick blood in it.

“Nicely… Given the circumstances, it may have been rather a lot worse, proper?” Zayne muttered with a puzzled look.

Whooooooooooooooooooosh.

Then, above the middle of the lake, a large pillar of black stone appeared. Inside was an empty rod that flared crimson hearth.

Zayne shook his head, hung the symbol on his belt, and ready for battle. He realized that now he would most certainly should struggle given the sword emblem, however he did not know the way it was imagined to work but.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The floor of the lake rippled, as from beneath it, stone platforms appeared, connecting to one another and masking a part of the lake in random paths.

Then, the final a part of the bone bridge beneath Zayne collapsed, dropping him down.

As quickly as his ft touched the stone platform, it shone brightly, and splashes appeared within the water close by, as if somebody was there they usually have been shortly approaching proper in direction of Zayne.
