Chapter 529 Terrible Beauty (Part 2)

The two energy beams mixed as they gradually merged into one. The black-red energy split into two streams that headed toward Lycia and the Black Sun Aristocrat. As they absorbed the energy, they stared intently into each other's eyes, and their appearance began to change.

Some of Lycia's hair became black as well as her right eye, among Black Sun Aristocrat's dark hair, appeared red curls, and his left eye became ruby. Because of the change, their abilities also expanded, as all of Black Sun Aristocrat's wounds instantly healed.

"Well, that's about it for them." Dark Silhouette muttered, standing up and standing beside them.

"Are you leaving already?" Black Sun Aristocrat asked while not taking his eyes off Lycia.

"Yes. I'm sure you can take it from here. Here's a little gift for you from me." The Dark Silhouette said with a calm voice before releasing a cloud of darkness from his palm.

The cloud split into two parts that turned into rings. One ring was red with a scarlet gem in the shape of a drop of blood, the other was dark with a white round stone.

"I hope you use these rings the next time we meet for their intended purpose. Huh, it's actually Terrible Beauty." Dark Silhouette said as he disappeared.

...

Tremble.

Wain turned back as he turned around. The Black Sun Aristocrat, the Knight of the Bloody Rose, and the Light Racer were still beside him.

"Well, I didn't expect that to happen at all, your memory was filled with unexpected twists and turns." Wain muttered with a faint smile on his face while looking at the Black Sun Aristocrat.

"You can be proud of that. Only a few people have seen me like this." Black Sun Aristocrat said in a calm voice.

"Huh, don't you know that a few people is definitely no more than ten?" Light Racer grinned, "Your face has certainly seen many more people."

"Shut up." Black Sun Aristocrat muttered in an ice-cold voice.

[Terrible Beauty

This is the outcome of revealing the secret of both appearance and feelings. Use this power to gain the abilities of both that together are an invincible symbiosis.]

"Are you ready?" Knight of the Bloody Rose asked with a serious look.

"You're next, right?" Wain smiled as he nodded.

"Yes. You probably thought my story would be about love, but unfortunately, it will only be the aftermath of tragedy." The Knight of the Bloody Rose mouthed before approaching Wain.

He drew his sword from its sheath and pierced Wain. Wain did not fight back, nothing could hurt him at this point, it was just a special method of entering the memory.

"Have a good viewing!" Light Racer said with a slight smile on his face while waving as though he was saying goodbye to him.

Wain slowly closed his eyes as he passed out.

...

Drip. Drip. Drip.

On a rainy day, massive drops fell on the stone tombstones in the cemetery. In front of one grave stood a tall man with blue hair, amethyst eyes, and wearing dark, chivalrous armor.

He stared with cold eyes at the name on the tombstone as the person most dear to him was buried here.

'Well, it looks like Knight of the Bloody Rose wasn't lying. I can already feel the depression sneaking up on me.' Wain muttered to himself.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

A girl in white armor with the same blue hair and amethyst eyes ran up to the knight.

"Hey! You've been standing here for hours!" The girl exclaimed as she ran up to the Knight, "Let's go home, or you'll catch a cold!"

"Do you really think it's raining...?" Knight asked in an empty voice, "It's only part of my tears and grief... What's the point of me leaving...?"

"Brother! That's enough! I understand how you feel, but life doesn't end there! Pull yourself together!" The girl exclaimed with a worried look.

However, the Knight made no reply. He continued to stand still as if he had been stunned.

Only half an hour later, when the girl began to freeze as the Knight noticed this, he bowed slightly and headed for the exit from the cemetery.

The knight with a girl reached their home, that was a massive, ancient mansion with slightly sprouting moss on the stone walls and several bloody rose banners on the entrance and tower that fluttered in the strong wind.

"I'll make some food." The girl said as she stripped off her armor.

"Cecilia, that is not necessary." The knight said in a calm voice.

"Hey, you made me soaked through too, so we just need warm soup to keep warm!" The girl exclaimed while pointing at him.

"Eh, okay, I'll help you. What are we having for dinner tonight?" The knight asked as he stripped off his armor, but his sword remained with him.

"Vegetable and meat soup with spicy spices just the way you like it." Cecilia replied with a kind smile on her face before heading into the kitchen.

Cecilia filled the cooking pot with water, activated the special flame crystals, and pulled out some potatoes. However, not a minute later, she managed to cut herself.

"Well, you're still just as clumsy... You love to cook, but you're completely clueless with a knife, how is that possible?" Knight muttered while looking at her with a puzzled look.

"That's not true!" Cecilia exclaimed as she blushed, "I'm just too cold, so my hands haven't warmed up yet..."

"All right, give it to me." The knight took matters into his own hands.

He was as good with a knife as he was with a sword, so after a while, he threw the perfectly chopped vegetables and meat into the boiling water.

"The rest is on you." The knight put the knife aside and headed for the couch that near the fireplace.

"Done!" Cecilia exclaimed after a few minutes as she placed two plates on the table and filled them with soup.

"Enjoy your meal!" Cecilia said before beginning to eat.

"Yeah." Knight nodded.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

When the plates were almost empty, someone knocked on the door.

"I'll get it!" Cecilia uttered.

"I'll do it myself." Knight said as he headed for the door.

Snap.

A man with dark hair in white armor stood in front of the house with a worried look.

"Hmm?" The knight grasped his chin in a puzzled manner.

"Sir! I have an urgent message for you! The King calls you!"
