LIGHTNOVELONLINE Prologue: Death of a Legend
Information requested: The Ultimate Fate of the Sage of the Endless Sword
Beginning report…
Timaias Adama was dead.
After being asked by Tiberian Arelius to investigate the Western Labyrinth, he was perfectly happy to do just that. Nothing in the valley was even remotely a threat to him, given that nothing grew beyond Jade there, so it would be a good training experience for Yerin and a decent vacation for him. He could just spend some time running some errands for a Monarch and otherwise occupy himself with preparing Yerin for her advancement to Lowgold and the removal of her Blood Shadow. What could go wrong?
He had underestimated the power of the draining curse within the valley. It had brought his madra down to Jade and leached power from his soulfire enhanced body, so much so that even the sorry excuses for sacred artists within the valley could harm him. He had let his guard down around them one too many times and that hubris had come to collect its’ due.
But as Adama’s body rested on the cold hard floor of the Ancestor’s Tomb, broken, and bruised from the savage beating he had been given by the gang of Jades, something strange happened. Sure, he left a Remnant just like everyone else. But something altogether different happened with his soul.
It was supposed to go to [ERROR: Location unknown. Recalculating…] It was supposed to go to where many souls of the departed normally would. But Fate, or something, had other plans for the unfortunate Sage. As he died, the world around him trembled on a metaphysical level. It was disturbed by [ERROR: Entity unknown. Recalculating…] It was disturbed by something that could alter the flow of the Way on a fundamental level. The Sword Sage’s soul was dragged off to [ERROR: Location unknown. Recalculating…] The Sage’s soul was dragged to a place beyond the Way due to a phenomenon that is entirely unknown at this time. No further information about his soul or his location can be found at this time.
