Chapter 411: Blow The Horns!
In 2030, humanity faced its first true collapse…not by war, but by the sudden invasion of Nightcrawlers, creatures emerging from darkness itself with the desire to devour sunlight at all cost for their evolution.
But, they could not absorb it directly since it was as deadly to them as to a shadow under the noonday sun. They could only absorb the sunlight from lifeforms or through signing a nocturnal contract to possess their bodies, providing them with direct sunlight immunity.
Within twelve hours, over four billion people perished as Earth was split between eternal night and day.
Just as extinction loomed, Holy Light Pillars descended from the heavens, purging one thousand cities from Nightcrawlers and offering humanity sanctuary under their divine light.
A century later, in the Heliodor Region, an innocent child found his world turned upside down after two mysterious nightcrawlers invaded his home, slaughtered his parents, and ripped his eyes out of their sockets, leaving him permanently connected to the Shadow Dimension, the home ground of Nightcrawlers.
Was it just a random feeding session for them, a planned assassination, or it goes deeper than this?
Follow Levi’s journey as he weaves between darkness and light, chasing the truth hidden in both.
Prologue
“I CAN’T SEE!!”
“My Eyes!!! MY EYES!!!”
“MOMMY!! MOMMY!!”
Inside a half-destroyed living room, a little child was seen sitting on his knees, screaming at the top of his lungs. He had his hands grasping tightly into his face, which was covered in blood, seeping from his eye sockets…
He seemed to be in so much pain, the only thing he could do was wail until his breaths became rugged and short.
His reaction was understandable as his eyes had just gotten ripped out of their sockets by a tall man with a dignified stoic expression.
He was dangling them from his hand like he was holding onto a piece of fruit.
Although he was wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a blue tie, not a single drop of blood tainted its fabric. On the other hand, his white-gloved hands had turned crimson, dripping with blood on the wooden floor, drop by drop…
This was the result of the massacre he committed in the living room.
Besides the wailing child, two bloodied corpses were seen lying a few meters away from Levi…Their bodies were mangled beyond recognition, filled with massive bite marks, leaving torn flesh all over the place.
Yet, both corpses had their hands stretched toward the little boy, leaving a scene of two parents desiring to protect their child, but falling hopelessly to their mortality…
“Silence him, but leave him alive…It won’t take long before he becomes a Sleepwalker.” The tall man ordered expressionlessly.
In an instant, a shadowy figure appeared right behind the child and landed a straight chop on his neck, silencing his whimpers…Then, he waved his hand once in front of Levi’s empty bloodied sockets and they were sealed shut.
All of this happened in less than a second.
Thud!
As Levi’s face landed on the wooden floor, feeling his blood running cold and his consciousness fading away, a single image surfaced in the darkness filling his mind…Two nightmarish creatures walking away from him, one bigger and scarier than the other.
