Novel Bin Chapter 136 Blind
The place Vincent has entered appears to be cloudy. It was as if they were standing on top of a skyscraper where the female goddess was living.
Nevertheless, before he could even enjoy the scenery he was already attacked without any words.
Vincent wanted to dodge her attack as he tried to use his Shrouded Steps to retreat.
Unfortunately, he found himself unable to move as he stood frozen on his spot! He could only watch the beautiful female goddess poke his eyes!
He heard her whisper some words but before he could understand her, he felt his eyes being burned!
"Aaaahhhh!!"
Vincent could not endure a single second as cried in pain. Then, he felt another sensation that his eyes were destroyed! He could no longer think straight as he wailed in sorrow!
He could not see anything! There was complete darkness and he knows that he has become blind!
"What did you to me?!"
Perhaps, because Vincent\'s Aura is already at 3-Star and his pain tolerance was quite incredible, he managed to collect himself…
\'Right, Silverio said that once I finished the trial here, all the injuries I suffered here will not be taken to my original body… That\'s right! This is just a dream! No, a nightmare!\'
Vincent convinced himself.
\'That felt too realistic but it can\'t be true…\'
If this happened before he activated the small stone, he would probably go crazy after losing his eyesight. However, after recalling the rules of this imaginary world, Vincent found a trace of hope as he assessed his situation.
Unfortunately, nothing happened even after waiting for five minutes…
He heard that this is a place of trial, but what happened? Is this all about removing his vision? Since the other members of the Zemin Clan were also training here, there must be something more…
However, he\'s unsure what to do from here.
He continuously called out for someone but in the end, there was no one responding to his calls.
"What now?" Vincent has no idea what to do.
He thought for a moment before he finally recalled that the goddess had whispered something to his ears before she poked his eyes.
"There comes a day when what\'s shrouded is revealed, the exiled one shall usher forth the beginning of a new era."
Vincent repeated the words that he just heard from the goddess.
\'A riddle? No, this sounds like a prophecy…\' He mused after analyzing the words.
As he was thinking of this, he felt that his surroundings started rumbling… It was as if the imaginary place was going to collapse. There were even violent fluctuations of energy coming from everywhere…
As he was unable to see anything that is going on, he couldn\'t help but feel nervous. He suddenly lost his balance as he fell to the ground…
However, before he could do something, another sensation occupied his mind… The pressure that could temper his soul has finally manifested…
"Ugh… Isn\'t this a bit too much?" Vincent was shocked as the pressure almost made him vomit some blood. He gritted his teeth as he tried to endure as much as he can.
He was already a 3-Star Aura Knight with a strong soul! However, this pressure is still too difficult for him! How could those non-soul cultivators last in here?!
It felt like something was wrong but he couldn\'t point it out.
As he was thinking of this, several breaths passed. As soon as he felt that he could not last any longer, he decided to just succumb to his death and return to the real world.
After that, he would surely ask Yulia about this Decadence Soul Temple and what should really be done here…
***
A few moments ago, as soon as Vincent\'s consciousness entered the altar to \'temper\' his soul, Tara rushed inside ignoring the surprised guards and the two young masters of the Zemin Clan.
She arrived beside Vincent and assessed his situation…
"W-who are you?!" Tyrell shouted… He wanted to be angry at the woman but as soon as he saw how beautiful she was, his heart softened a little as he quickly changed the tone of his voice.
"Ehem, don\'t be worried… Vincent was only training. We have done this several times. He should quickly regain his consciousness…
"Young Master! Be careful!" The two guards finally acted as they raised their weapons and pointed at Tara.
"Stop! She\'s just our guest\'s servant… No, perhaps a relative?" Tyrell wasn\'t sure. Anyway, he didn\'t panic as he was fully aware of the situation.
However, the woman just kept ignoring them not thinking of correcting him as she observed Vincent with furrowed brows.
On the other hand, Silverio remained composed and scolded Tara.
"Hey! You\'re not allowed to enter this place without our permission. If you have time to worry for your master, you should first worry about yourself!" Silverio said as he moved forward thinking of beating up Tara.
To be honest, Silverio and Tyrell were already surprised that the small stone didn\'t shatter after Vincent triggered it.
Did they mistake their count? They were sure that it only has one usage left and shouldn\'t be used anymore until it was repaired…
They wanted to take Vincent\'s small stone to inspect it immediately. However, as he was about to act, a group of people started coming to the temple.
The commotion Tara made seemed to have caught everyone\'s attention.
Silverio and Tyrell\'s faces paled as soon as they saw the incoming people…
"F-father! I mean—Clan Head!\' Silverio nervously called out. However, his eyes weren\'t directed at his father but at the two purple robe women behind the group! He was sure that those two were Celestial Beings! Why would they come here?!
Tyrell was also surprised at this but he immediately calmed down seeing that his uncle was included in the group of people that has just arrived.
"Greetings, Elders and Clan Head… We\'re sorry for causing such a commotion on this important day." Tyrell said as he did his best not to sound very nervous.
He silently counted the mistakes they made as he wanted to know what kind of punishment he will get.
First, they invited Vincent inside the temple without permission. Although it\'s not that strict to enter the temple, an elder should at least be informed about this.
In addition, they also made another mistake by giving Vincent a faulty connection stone. That\'s right, if they saw that it was faulty, they will surely realize that they were trying to harm Vincent\'s soul.
Furthermore, they also allowed the female servant to destroy the temple\'s door and enter the building!
Lastly, they have actually stopped training just to teach Vincent a lesson!
Apparently, they learned about Vincent thanks to the loyal servants who had been relaying the news to them. So after learning about Lesley and Vincent\'s circumstances, they went out of their training and decided to bring Vincent here!
"What\'s going on to Vincent?" Yulia calmly asked.
She\'s the one who brought Vincent here so she\'s the most concerned about his situation. Of course, she can tell that Vincent has connected to the Decadence Soul Altar but something feels off about the situation.
The altar was pulsating with energy stronger than they have ever seen. Vincent\'s breathing was also not normal for people who had connected to it.
"We just invited Vincent to try the trial after he expressed his interest in it… Since we have a spare Connection Stone and we heard how he save our little sister, we decided to give him a chance to take the trial…"
"That\'s right… We heard that he was an Aura Knight and never tried this kind of training so we let him try…"
The two immediately explained. Although there were many holes in their story, it didn\'t matter right now as they observed Vincent\'s condition.
"Tara, is there something wrong with Vincent? The Decadence Soul Trial shouldn\'t take that long… The shortest will be ten breaths but the longest should only be an hour as the time flows differently there." Yulia asked.
"Five minutes had already passed…" Tara answered.
This was the first time she spoke and Tyrell couldn\'t help but be mesmerized by her angelic voice.
"The two of you need to be punished… Third Elder, I will trouble you…" The Clan Head spoke.
He has black wavy hair that gently hangs over his strong, frowning face. He obviously didn\'t like the situation.
"Miss Tara, the young boy shouldn\'t be in any danger. His consciousness should be undergoing some trial right now. However, my two sons have probably omitted what kind of trial he will be facing so he won\'t be achieving much. But that\'s for the better since he shouldn\'t last there for long so you won\'t have to worry. Anyway, he can try again later once we\'ve educated him about this trial…"
The Clan Head explained politely. Obviously, he was already informed by Yulia that Vincent was somehow connected with two Celestial Beings and Tara was one of them. It means that she deserves deferential treatment.
He\'s also aware that Vincent\'s last name was Kayser! Right now, the only thing he wanted to do is to get a sample of Vincent\'s blood to confirm his identity and connection with the Star Garden Sect.
However, as they were starting to leave the Temple, Vincent finally regained consciousness.
This is a piece of good news but Vincent\'s words confused them…
"Am I back? Why is it still dark?"
