Godslayer Lysette: Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Respite

Serrena and Rayleigh were the first two to greet Lysette and her traveling companions.  But it was Mirae’s conspicuous absence that gave her pause.  Lysette wasn’t immediately sure what to make of it.  They hadn’t said a thing to her through her avatar since midnight, and were Cultivating in the couple’s room since.  Apologies would be in order, followed by throwing herself on her love’s mercy.

Lysette felt like an a...

Chapter 259: Paths to Power

After finishing breakfast, Lysette, together with Solanna and Aurie, wasted no time in taking leave of Domaria and heading back to Ciricu.  As the three took flight, Solanna spat and stuck her tongue out and gave the royal palace a single-fingered salute with both hands.  Aurie giggled, wiggling her fingers and speaking something in a foreign language that carried the cadence of  a childish taunt.  And Lysette smiled.  S...

Chapter 258: Final Departure

Midnight arrived far sooner than it felt like it should’ve, and with it, Lysette felt waves of cooling vitality rushing over her.  She stretched and let the recesses of her mind return to Cultivating and supporting the growth of her adherents, and she felt neither pain nor odd feeling as she did so.

The twinkle of myriad stars glistened through the window of the former Chancellor’s bedroom, and Lysette walked over to gaze out at ...

Chapter 257: Saying Farewell

It was evening when Lysette again awoke, dusk’s golden glow streaming through the window in an unfamiliar room.  Lysette moved her arms, but not without difficulty— just as the last time Lysette had a battle within her soulscape, the wounds she sustained inside reflected onto her outside body.  She attempted to flare her aura out to examine what lay beyond, but her entire body ached as she spread it beyond the boundaries of the sm...

Chapter 256: Battle of Life and Death

Lysette tried to escape the clutches of her primordial captive and retreat back to physical reality, but it was impossible.  The medallion was now exuding a powerful binding field that had trapped her spirit and consciousness within her Cultivation realm.  It seemed Bionco’s plan was  to trap her consciousness here, using this figment of her will as an eternal warden, or until her body could otherwise be disposed of. 2024-10-31 17:05:10 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 255: Within the Medallion

Lysette ate her lemon custard slowly, relishing each and every sensation.  She let her tongue feel the creamy smooth complexion and taste the subtle combination of lemon with just the barest hint of vanilla.  The rich, eggy base, softened by cream and sweetened with just the perfect amount of sugar to render it sweet and succulent without being overly decadent.  As she finished her first custard and set her spoon aside, a sm...

Chapter 254: The Lotus Medallion

Saffron brought the meeting to an end shortly after her warning to Lysette.  With no other reason to remain in the castle and Lysette wanting to make her way to her blessed lemon custards posthaste, she, together with Solanna and Aurella, made their way out of the castle at a deliberate pace and headed east toward the Academy.

Lysette didn’t dare make a sound as she exited the massive palace complex.  She didn’t even dar...

Chapter 253: Saffron’s Threat

Solanna turned to Aurella as the three of them touched down on the edges of the floating city of Domark with a puzzled look on her face.

“I’m a bit surprised, Aurella.  You look exactly the same as I remember you a hundred years ago.  I know that you were born like… like we are now–”

Aurella nodded in understanding of Solanna’s circumspection.  “Yeah, I prefer looking this way.  Do I have to change back? ...

Chapter 252: Return to Domark

Lysette stretched and cracked her neck and shoulders as she and Aurella prepared for departure alongside the glow of the impending sunrise.  After taking off her betrothal ring and handing it to Mirae, the two took to the skies and began the hours-long flight back to the aerial city of Domark.

“Hey, Lyse,” Aurella said, “There was something I was meaning to ask last night.  Who was that guy who was sitting in the back Cul...

Chapter 251: Overnight Party

Lysette and Mirae led Aurella back down off the training grounds and into the heart of Ciricu.  As it was still early afternoon, the three had plenty of time to mingle with the children, giving no small number of air rides over the city.  Lysette and Aurella handled the majority of the individual flights, with Mirae staying down on the surface helping parents corral their rowdy kids as they bundled up and waited their turn for a fligh...

Chapter 250: Aurella’s Mission

Aurella leapt up off the ground and a good fifty feet in the air, floating down at a casual pace as though she’d somehow her weight to that of a feather and was content to glide with the winds until they brought her back to the surface.  She stretched along the ground, fully allowing the grass and dirt to ruffle her hair and dirty her clothes, moaning in such a way that belied her true age and experience with activities of a more 2024-10-25 22:59:26 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 249: The Diminutive Demigoddess

Lysette rolled her eyes as she looked down upon her would-be adversary with suspicion.  The woman’s irises were the same shade of scarlet as her short, pixie-cut hair, and her youthful face belied the incredible strength she possessed.

“Alright,” Lysette said.  “I don’t suppose there’s any way we can discuss whatever reason you have for threatening me like civilized adults?  Or at least tell me who yo...

Chapter 248: Beacon of Hope

Mirae continued pulling Lysette by the wrist all the way through Ciricu, neither seeming to notice nor care about the stares they were getting from several of the townsfolk as they made their way back to their cottage.  As soon as they had pulled Lysette inside and closed the door behind them, they pulled Lysette into their embrace and locked lips with her.  And they held nothing back as their tongue explored every bit of Lysette’s t...

Chapter 247: Rayleigh’s Might

Rayleigh stood triumphantly along the eastern edge of the sparring fields south of Ciricu.  She pulled out a kunai and held it in a reverse grip in her left hand, while in her right, she generated another out of nothing but solidified air which was faintly visible against the sun’s glow.  She dropped down into a fighting stance, her right arm forward to parry oncoming attacks, and left held back to counterattack.

Chapter 246: The Calm at Dawn

Lysette stood upon the northern slopes of the Spire Mountains, looking down upon the town of Ciricu as sunrise dawned along the eastern horizon.  She took a single breath as the first light of the sun’s disc appeared in the sky, knowing that in mere days, the war which had claimed yet another of her friend’s lives would continue.

She closed her eyes and reflected upon the nascent dawn.  To the east lay the light of the sun....

Chapter 245: Kristil’s Funeral

Mirae and Lysette made their way from the command center to a ward of the infirmary that had been cordoned off as a morgue for the nearly two thousand five hundred soldiers who perished during the day’s brutal battle.  All throughout, as undertakers processed the dead bodies, tireless work went on to identify the corpses of as many of the Domarians as they could.  And as seemed to be commonplace among the military, piles and piles of paperwor...

Chapter 244: Debrief

Lysette took Mirae’s hand as the couple and Solanna touched down upon the surface.  What had been a battlefield moments earlier was now more akin to a morgue.  Thousands of soldiers lay wounded and dying, and with Alan now dead, the Elithrian will collapsed.  Domarian or Elithrian no longer mattered, as the still-healthy soldiers rallied together on both sides to bring their wounded inside to the relative safety of Ft. James to be stab...

Chapter 243: War for the Future

Alan hissed and screamed loud enough to send shockwaves hurling across the borderlands, causing trees to whistle and birds to caw and fly off in every direction.  He seethed and clasped at his shoulder, which looked untouched on the surface but which was the site of a demonic wound upon his immortal Spark.

“What did you do to me?” he screamed.  “Answer me!”

Mirette didn’t answer.  As the eclipse broke for...

Alan laughed as he and Solanna stared one another down.  “You petulant upstart!  You couldn’t even Hope to defeat me a century ago, and I’ve only grown that much more powerful since then.  Why are you in such a hurry to throw your life away like this?  Run off and I promise there will be no pursuit.”

“More of that false Hope I’ve heard so much about.  To answer your question, I’ve been told by a relia...

Chapter 241: The Darkest Hour

Lysette’s breath quickened and sweat pooled onto her palms as the reality of the situation set in.  Her heart raced and she stepped backward as Alan approached.  His air was full of confidence and intimidation as he slowly stepped toward her.  A smirk appeared on his face, and though he was no demon, his desire for blood was as great as any Lysette had ever known.

He chuckled.  “You will not die quickly, demon...
