Skybound Throne

Chapter 59: First Dimension VI

Skyler sat down next to him. He had thought the past two years of his life were bad, but he never imagined someone could suffer so much their entire life.

"What were you planning to do afterward?"

"No idea. I didn’t have a storage ring, so I couldn’t obtain anything valuable from the preliminary test. I..."

Charles’s expression hardened, and he looked at Skyler to make sure he noted everything the latter felt upon hearing him.

"...killed a few people who tried to kill me, but their storage rings were linked to them and self-destructed. So, I have nothing. Maybe I will become a rogue Light with no direction."

He was surprised when Skyler’s eyes remained calm even after knowing he had killed. Instead, he fell deep into thought.

Skyler glanced at him a minute later.

"Do you want to join me? I will be leaving for Starlight Academy soon since they gave me a special pass. If they had invited you in the past, they would accept you. No need to go back home. Well, if you want to go back to confront your family, then you can."

Charles’s raised a brow at his words.

"Are you hiring me as your employee?"

"Yep, the pay will be good. So, agree."

Charle broke into an amused chuckle. They remained silent for a while, listening to the sounds of the battle raging behind them.

Then suddenly, the boss monster let out a loud cry. They glanced back, only to see the spider slain, with Scar and Dread reaching to shatter the glowing core in the silk web.

Skyler helped him stand up, and when the villains were close to shattering the core, they both rushed out of their hiding place.

Charles increased his speed with the wind element, and Skyler with the light element.

They had to jump into the exit portal! They were quite far from the core, but they knew they would be able to leap into the portal due to the surprise of their appearance!

However, they froze in their tracks when both Scar and Dread stopped just as they were about to break the dimension core and staggered back with horrified faces.

The two villains were gravely injured. So, when a giant white snake with red eyes and three red gems embedded on either side of its head slithered out from behind the silk web, they knew they were done for.

Scar trembled like a leaf. Her injured body lost all remaining strength it had because she couldn’t even sense the snake’s aura!

"How—"

Her words were cut short when the snake hissed angrily, and its lengthy tail emerged from the darkness, sending her body flying. Her eyes rolled back as she crashed into the chamber wall and spat out blood.

Dread tried to escape, but who was he kidding? The snake was just too fast, and just like Scar, his body was flung away. The two villains who had survived for so long lost consciousness from a single attack, and the boss chamber began to tremble.

The snake’s full form came into view.

It had white scales with a hint of red on some of the scales. Its head reached the ceiling of the huge chamber, and its body occupied a large amount of space.

The snake’s glowing eyes locked onto Charles’s distant figure, who gasped at the towering creature. A pair of fangs emerged from its mouth as it hissed. It was furious for being disturbed again by these pests.

Nineteen years. That was the time it had taken for the snake to finally form a body for itself after wandering formless.

Another long year was spent

’If only I could get that pretty snake...’
