Rise of the White Devil

Chapter 66 Crazy Lucas

Nothing is known about them.

They appear multiple times throughout history.

In every major historical event, there were traces of the Voidwalkers.

They say that the Voidwalkers are immortals who existed even before the first golden generation.

Perhaps they are followers of the demon king.

That they are the rulers of the underworld and black market.

Some say they are the cause of countless tragedies that have occurred.

Others suggest that perhaps they are the ones who rule above everyone.

Or that they are guardians of Myrniel protecting the inhabitants against terrors one couldn't imagine...

But no matter what one thinks, it is undeniable that in every big change of Myrniel, they are there.

How would one know that?

It is simple...

There would always be a few words written somewhere at those historical events that no one knows who wrote them.

They could be on the walls or somewhere else, but... one would always find them.

Countless conspiracy theories started forming about who they actually were online.

Historians always discovering the same words.

It became so popular that some started acting as if they were one of the Voidwalkers, trying to fool many.

Saying weird words that sounded familiar to the ones discovered in the tragedies of time.

But... No one could understand those words. They were written in a language that no one could decipher.

No matter how many years have passed, no one managed to figure out except for one word.

Vacui... meaning void.

Leading to them being called The Voidwalkers.

The name which became taboo to even speak of and was banned from talking anywhere, not even online, unless you wanted to invite the authorities.

They think that the language used was an ancient one so old that it is impossible to trace back.

Becoming known as the Void Language.

Except there was one person who could understand those words written...

"In tenebris mortis et vacui, ubi animae perire incipiunt..."

Those words were always left behind... an incomplete sentence.

Lucas, who had been doing his research on the Voidwalkers secretly ever since he got saved by Magnus, discovered a shocking fact...

The incomplete sentence was in Latin...

Which Lucas knew what the complete version of it was.

An old dead language in his previous world was for some reason in his current world.

He didn't understand why but it led him to believe that perhaps someone from his previous world got reincarnated here as well.

That belief only intensified as he discovered the existence of Seraphina, formerly known as Alicia in his previous world.

They were the most mysterious yet at the same easiest for Lucas to get a hold of them.

"Crazy... you are fucking crazy, do you know that!?" Seraphina screamed as she heard what Lucas said.

Of course, she knew about the Voidwalkers, though she wasn't knowledgeable in Latin like Lucas is; she understood that the dead language was from her previous world.

She knows the trouble of secret organizations like the Dark Rose perfectly well as Lucas.

But this... this wasn't just a secret organization... it was much worse.

It was like he was planning to make a deal with the devil.

"Just for revenge, you would go this far? You would sell your soul just for that?" Seraphina asked. She couldn't believe that he would actually try to contact them.

"Yes... and no." Hearing Lucas reply, she only got more confused.

What does he mean by that?

Lucas visibly sighed as he looked towards her and spoke.

"This world... our reincarnation... everything feels like it was set up for us, don't you think? Don't you feel the strings being pulled by someone as well? Someone who is messing with us, with me? It isn't just about Karciel nor Abadux; it is about the one who is responsible for everything that happened to me."

"What do you mean by that exactly... what about that happened to you?"

"The way I died in my previous life... I don't think it was a mere coincidence. Someone did it on purpose, making me reincarnate in this world. You being reincarnated is perhaps also not just a coincidence. Someone is messing with us, Seraphina. There are so many things happening that we don't know nor have the power to handle it. So... I will get that power no matter the cost."

"Just how did the dragons become extinct... what exactly are the demons planning and where did they come from? What are their goals? Is it really just to conquer us? Then what, live a peaceful life for eternity? Please, that is all a load of crap. The Voidwalkers apparently knowing Latin and then what happened to the first progenitor of chaos and why there even is a fucking second that is me."

"So many questions, yet I don't have a single answer to any of them! This is the closest I am currently to trying to get some of these mysteries revealed. Even if it is a dangerous gamble of my life, I won't back off now."

Hearing the sheer resolve in his voice as he spoke each word, she knew she couldn't stop him in the slightest... his mind was set.

"Lucas... what if it isn't just you, but what if they come for your entire family as well? You care for them, right? This... what you are trying has too many things that could go wrong."

Hearing her, Lucas didn't answer and kept quiet.

He knew...

he knew what he was about to try could endanger his family, but if he doesn't do that...

If those words of the seer actually became true... everyone would be as good as dead.

He couldn't let that happen no matter what.

Seeing him not replying, she could only bite her lip in frustration.

"What does it even mean..."

"What?" Lucas asked this time, not understanding what she meant.

"What do those words even mean that they leave behind..."

A few seconds passed, making her think he wasn't going to answer her again.

As she was about to speak, she heard Lucas answering her.

"In tenebris mortis et vacui, ubi animae perire incipiunt... meaning In the darkness of death and the void, where souls begin to perish..."

"Why did you stop?" she asked, confused.

"I didn't. That was it, that was all they said. It is an incomplete sentence that they always wrote. You would know if you ever listened to Aushburn's lessons... and they dare call me lazy."

Hearing the name Ausburn, she became a little angry as she remembered how pestering he was at education.

"Why should I listen to the lessons of a dead stupid language that wouldn't have helped me at all! Hmph!"

"Can you still say that? You knew it was from our old world but didn't even know what they meant," Lucas asked as she decided not to answer and turned her head away.

"So? Do you know what the full sentence is?" Seraphina suddenly asked as she was actually getting curious about what it all meant.

"Yes... I know what it all means. The complete sentence is what I will use to lure them out. When it becomes complete, you realize that it actually is... a warning. A warning for the future."

As Lucas said this, she got an ominous feeling for a second at hearing the last bit.

A warning...

"What is the warning?" She asked.

"I'll tell you after this exam," he said, annoying her as she was curious about what it all meant.

She should have listened to Aushburn!

She only sighed and shook her head as she returned to watching the broken city.

"Very well... please just... just be careful, Lucas. I just found you after all," she spoke with a complicated voice.

"Don't worry, I won't die easily... not this time."

As both gazed at the city, waiting for the inevitable battle against the remaining calamities, they saw a huge pillar of ice being created in one of the streets close to them.

"Looks like that is our signal," Seraphina said.

"Yeah... I guess it is time to ace this exam and let everything turn into chaos."
