Chapter 25- tomb

Words : 1014 Updated : Sep 12th, 2025

When the night grew colder and the moon pierced its darkness with full glory, a man walked out of the Jun residence heading calmly and carefully towards the gate. He wore a cloak over his body shielding him from unnecessary attention if any and exited the building, walking past the sleeping guards as he headed for the King's castle. Just as he walked out, Raffaelo opened the door slowly. His gaze fixed on the door. "...". He sighed, cold breath sipping out from his mouth as he turned his gaze to the mansion. "....we'll be back". He covered himself up in the cloak and quietly exited the complex as well. "....where do you think they're going?" Morganna's voice projected as the girls watched from the window. "Not sure....but they saw something we didn't...." Fiona replied. "...no need to worry....they'll be back before mum wakes up..." Gloria turned around and walked away while her sisters watched her back. "...I hope so...." Raffaelo POV. The night was cold but my body was colder. I haven't told anyone but after I met the predecessors of my trait, my internal organs grew cold. Not in a state unbearable to me but comfortable enough for me to handle the cold easily. It felt like I was becoming one with the cold. 'Is this what he meant ?...' I thought about following my father to the lake directly but I'm well aware he has over a km of sense so he'll sense me the minute I enter his radar. Instead, I'll follow a different path to the Lake, the underground pathways that lead to different annexes of the castle complex. The laboratories that were captured in my past life were also located there but....it should not have advanced much at this time. 'The tomb....' I thought about walking away from the direction my father took. 'A tomb is located at the edge of the Royal fence. A tomb built by the 3rd King of Lumbrica'. That being said, the tomb wasn't an easy structure to find since it had the characteristics of blending in with its environment, like a camouflage. It was hidden away for many years before I found it by accident in my past life. 'Now that I think about it.....it must have been these eyes of mine' Memories of the conversation I had with the predecessor of my eye traits played through my head as my lips curled into a smile. 'This...shouldn't be an issue'. ***** Minutes turned into hours as Raffaelo walked past the building complexes surrounding the castle complex. The castle guards that stood in different annexes of the building marched around while taking their rounds. They held wooden torches and their expressions void and serious as they carried out their tasks. Raffaelo found his way past them. Lowering his mana level to a bare minimum while surrounding his body with aura in order to hide himself.Nôv(el)B\\jnn His aura may have been mediocre but his trait played an important factor in lowering his temperature passed below the average human body temperature. I felt the door suddenly pull back instead of it being pushed by the force I applied on it and startled by the sudden movement, I looked up towards the upper side of the door when my body froze in surprise. Two big bright green eyes with concave shaped pupils stared down at me. Its eyes exuded a feeling of cold blood thirst as it roamed around the open space behind him. A female snicker exuded from whatever is behind the darkness as a sharp row of canine teeth glistened white just below the eyes. "Oh....how interesting". It stretched out its hand as it pulled Raffaelo into the room in an instant and locking it as soon as he was in. ***** NORMAL POV. Michaelo had finally arrived by the lake. He slowly took off his hoodie as his gaze was drawn to a statue of a woman that was built at the beginning of the Lake. A sigh exudd his lips as he said. "Come out creature ! I am here to answer your call". Walking passed the guard and making his way towards the Lake wasn't a difficult task for him. After all, he is a swordsman at the top of game but that didn't mean he couldn't get in trouble if he was foundthis deep inside the Kings complex. After his outburst, nothing really happened and a feeling of frustration washed over him as he walked closer to the lake. He stared at the reflection of himself in the Lake and a smile slowly grew from his lips. His gaze remained fixed until he noticed the dark pond had sudde Kyle Hogan to lighten up exuding a white smoke in the process. Alarmed by the sudden change, he took a step back as the smole began to spread thicker around them. The white light shone brighter and some particles of the water began to float up in the air while contesting together to form the ghost that had appeared before him. A perplexed expression appeared on his facial features as the ghost that he had wished was just a dream floated, with her piercingly blue eyes at him. A cold smile formed from her lips as she said. "You came....my saviour". Michaelo felt confused. He raised a brow looking over the ghost from top to bottom and asked. "When did I ever save you....when you should be dead ?" She giggled. "You may not remember me but I remember you....your lineage has been passed for centuries" "...and you ought to be dead..." Michaelo said coldly. He didnt like uncalled situations that could possibly endanger him. "What is it ? Whar is it that you want from me that you have appeared so ?" He asked. "..." her expression slowly furrowed into a displeased scorn. "Give your son to me. His destiny is something that I require in my research" "....what ?"
