Chapter Three: Laviel's Tears
Chapter Three: Laviel's Tears
Fortunately, Oliver's sister's training spot wasn't far from Oliver's residence.
"Okay, I've arrived," Oliver said to himself as he looked at the large trees in front of him, leaves falling with the moist breeze.
He hid behind a bush, observing his sister's training ground from a distance.
It was a large natural cave, even more beautiful from the inside than his palace, with Ether energy capacity hundreds of times greater.
Yes, it's the energy absorbed by trainees, but he read in books that this energy would evolve when the cultivator ascends to the sixth rank (the Eternal).
As he pondered, he saw a small figure emerging from outside the cave – his sister, Laviel.
In this realm of imagination, where flowers dance and birds sing, lived the little child.
Her soft golden hair cascaded like a golden waterfall on her slender shoulders. Her enchanting eyes sparkled like stars in a clear sky,
captivating with their captivating allure and mysterious depth. Her silky skin reflected the sun's rays, giving her face a charming and beautiful glow that melted hearts.
But behind this enchanting doll was a cold cruelty, Oliver noticed as she approached his hiding spot. She had discovered his hiding place.
Oliver jumped out and approached his cold sister Laviel.
"What are you doing here?" Her words emanated from her cold voice devoid of warmth and affection, like icy daggers piercing the ears without emotions.
Oliver approached his sister Laviel slowly, ignoring her words, feeling her warm breath on his cheeks.
Her black eyes, resembling a dark, secretive night filled with mysteries, sparkled like stars in a magical sky, drawing gazes like a magnet with their enchanting allure.
Oliver embraced his little sister tightly.
"What are you doing?" Laviel was shocked by his action, stepping back. Her voice, cold and gentle, was tinged with hints of fear. She was shocked not just by Oliver's embrace but by something deeper, something breaking inside her heart that she couldn't understand.
"What do you want?" she asked in her sweet, childish voice.
"I want to hug you, Laviel. I love you," Oliver said, his misty eyes and painful embrace shocking Laviel profoundly.
Inside her heart, something shattered, and she didn't know what it was.
"What do you want?" she answered in her sweet, childish voice.
"I want to hug you, Laviel. I love you," Oliver said, his misty eyes and painful embrace shocking Laviel profoundly.
All his previous attempts to hug her had failed, and she didn't allow him to approach.
Suddenly, unexpectedly, Oliver was hit by a very powerful attack that made him roll back on the tree behind him.
"Ah, it's painful. Why this harsh attack?" Oliver exclaimed.
Laviel looked at him coldly. "Stay away from me, or I'll tell Mom about you," she threatened. She didn't understand why her modestly talented brother had become so strong.
"I want to confront you, sister," Oliver said, looking at her deeply. His eyes, which had become foggy, returned to their natural state, and what replaced them was a dark abyss, devoid of depth.
"Do you want to confront me? Fine," Laviel answered.
She wanted to test his incredible strength. Oliver had visited her repeatedly, and she knew that his modest strength was in the first rank, the realm of physical condensation.
"Do you want a physical confrontation or an Ether confrontation?" Laviel scrutinized him with her red irises, devoid of any energy and showing no signs of strength, yet he made her feel afraid for some reason.
Her sharp gaze had Oliver, possessing the Great Constellation Constitution, in her grasp. Yes, as the name implied, every birth of a planet or a great world was followed by the origin energy of pure purity. Laviel was born with pure origin energy since her birth.
Reaching the sixth rank was just a matter of time for her.
But what made her respected even by the Eternals was her eye mutation.
Her extraordinary eye could easily control the four natural elements: water, fire, wood, and lightning. It was commonly believed that fire was the greatest enemy of demons, as it could suppress low-ranking demons, exerting a powerful influence in racial wars between the two sides.
Laviel attempted to use her extraordinary eye, and her entire eye turned completely white, with increasing veins appearing around her eyes.
"I can't see anything. Why don't you even possess Ether energy?" Many questions flooded her mind.
Oliver stepped forward, becoming Laviel's opponent.
"Okay, let's start now," Oliver said lightly.
"I'll count to three. Are you ready?" Oliver looked at his sister, saying,
"One, two, three."
(Boom, Laviel.)
Laviel expanded her massive aura to the maximum and completely poured it onto Oliver.
But what greeted her was something that made her eyes widen in shock.
The sky turned into a dome of darkness, with black clouds covering the entire sky,
and the natural light disappeared, enveloping the world in complete darkness.
In the midst of this terrifying darkness, Oliver's figure, the person she knew, suddenly disappeared from her sight.
Instead, a black pyramid-like creature with six closed eyes appeared before her, emitting an aura of darkness to the extent that it seemed like nothingness itself, or perhaps something even farther.
It seemed that the Ether aura surrounding her had completely shattered, leaving only absolute astonishment and intense horror.
In this horrifying moment, the mysterious black creature continued to float in place, like a beast waiting in the darkness, expressing hidden power and terrifying ability that defied all physics and logic of her world.
Laviel looked at the monster in front of her with difficulty breathing, tears falling between her doll-like cheeks...
