《The Saga of Armageddon: The Call of Crows》Chapter 50: Where Glory Lies
Advertisement
Bjorn blinked from the intense light of the sun as the clouds faded away, giving way to the light rains the Dragon had summoned before.
His skin was blistered and aching from the storm summoned by the Dragon.
Atop a roof, Taya had beaten him and raised her sword up.
Yes! Yes, this is it! He watched with enthrallment as Taya dealt the finishing blow of this battle.
“Glory lies beyond!” She roared like a lioness.
Then a wide, flat glaive blade punched through her chest cavity.
Its steel shined in the sun, though it glowed with green flames. It was stainless. Not a drop of blood on it. And ever so detailed.
Taya’s sword clattered to the ground.
Only now did he realize what had just occurred before him.
Gongsun Guanyu appeared from nowhere behind her, hands trembling on the shaft of his glaive.
Taya coughed, blood mixed with spittle flying out from her mouth as crimson welled up around her lips.
Guanyu tore his weapon out of her chest, leaving a gaping, bloody hole in her torso.
The crash of Taya’s body on the roof tiles echoed in his mind endlessly. She slid downwards and fell to the street with a thump.
Blood pooled around her, mixing with the rainwater.
Bjorn screamed. He didn’t know what he screamed, since the rain was the only deafening noise he heard. Just the beating of the rain on the cobblestones.
He knelt next to her. Her beautiful grey eyes shifted to him.
Bjorn forgot what he’d said the moment the words left his mouth. It was a question.
Taya’s fingers gently brushed against his face, “Bjorn...” Her voice sounded much like his mother’s had when he was an infant. How did he know that?
“Yes?” he got closer to her.

Weakly, she smiled. Despite her state, it was the strongest, most confident and most beautiful smile he’d ever seen. “I...I found it, Bjorn. I’m so happy I found it...the infinite...journey.”
Bjorn didn’t know what to say to her. Just that he had to say something.
“Join me…someday…” Taya’s fingers interlocked with his.
The last wisps of breath escaped her lungs. Her stormy grey eyes remained wet, but they were no longer bright.
That was it.
Taya Sergeyev was dead.
What action was there left in the world but to weep? To weep with the rain.

I Got Reincarnated on Earth, Only to Get Summoned Back to My Old World
Yuan, the valiant 'Hero' who defeated the 'Demon King', was unfortunately betrayed by his most trusted comrades who accompanied him in his life-long journey. "Heh... I never thought that I'd die like this... In the hands of my own comrades at that..." With that self-deprecating remark, the great Hero, Yuan, fell into an eternal slumber. Of course, that was what he initially thought, but life had other plans set for him. As his soul was drifting off aimlessly into the unknown, a soft and ethereal voice soon called out to him: "My Child, you have suffered and was betrayed. You gave it your all but didn't receive anything in return. In the end, you were killed by those whom you called your own." And so, a miracle was generously bestowed upon Yuan. "I will give you another chance in life My Child... I hope that you lead this new life the way you want it to be. Next time do not be controlled and easily deceived by others... Do whatever it is that you want and desire." Yuan Amon, born and raised in an ordinary family in the Philippines, led a leisurely new life on Earth, only to get summoned right back to his old one 18 years later. "I... I can't understand... Just why... Why was I sent back here of all places!?" A roar of utter dismay resounded in his private chambers. IMPORTANT NOTE (21/10/20): I have dropped this novel on this website! But don't worry, because I have remade this novel on another website called Webnovel.com so you can check it out over there! The story has completely changed though, so don't expect the same old thing, okay? I will still keep this dropped novel here though because it serves as a memory for me when I just started writing so I won't be deleting it. I hope to see you there on Webnovel!
