All Chapters of The Ascension: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

...Because he had been rotating amidst his erratic footwork, the shield finally showed signs of breaking ten minutes later. The Kapre appeared to care little about it though. Ley persisted in his attacks, purposely creating roads in the area while at it, until the shield really broke with a series of sounds akin to a glass shattering. “Now!” The decisive moment of the battle came.

...Hana and the others safely arrived in the island. Not even an hour was taken. It was because Ley created a road that spanned a few miles in order to enable them to flee quickly. The rest of the journey which took them that long was the one at the sea since there was a need to change vehicles and transfer the few pieces of luggage. Daniel who came with his grandfather Armand looked on from one spot as the islanders welcomed them. Their attitude was especially reverent towards Hana and the other old man who was called Fernando. They had been visited the Hevel Residence for five months so he long knew that the ‘three m

...“It seems the world that we just got involved ourselves into is not so peaceful and wonderful.”  Hana pursed her lips as there were just very few moments that could render the old man sighing. She did not comment, only joining Fernando in staring into the distance.

...A deity’s enemy could only be the devil… or a deity as well. ‘To those who knew a thing or two, it’s obvious that Ley Baler saw the enemy of the House outside the airport.’ The cogs in Nathan’s brain spun quickly. However, while he understood what was going on, he also came to understand just how weak a mortal was. Lies beyond the glory of a supreme being was a dangerous world that no mortal should vent

...On the highest floor of the palace, Hana and the old man parted after a brief talk. Hana went to her room. But not even ten minutes passed and she went out, her mood somber. No servants dared to get close and thus none noticed her abnormality. The sudden majestic air around her could make anyone who didn’t know her prior unable to relate her to her usual lively but naïve self. Few would dare to even lift their heads in her prese

...‘Anito of the Blood?’‘Follower of the God of Fire?’ She remembered this detail because the latter was being paid attention to by her younger sister Tala, Goddess of Constellations.If Hanan’s hunch was correct, the uninvited visitors, including the Kapre, were strays that got pitted by a follower of that fellow Skyworld deity.

...Ignorance… When was it a pass for one to do what they should not? When was ignorance not a sin, especially given the fact that they had all the time in the world to investigate? They also had all the time in the world to try to sound out the abnormalities of the location and the attitude of their higher ups, hadn’t they?“My island is sacred.” “All the mortals allowed to step inside are invited.”

...Hana, Her clone, and Fernando were discussing about setting up defenses around the island. Fernando naturally thought of relinquishing some of his tamed messengers in the capital to regain the divine energy invested in them. His goal was to use a large portion of his powers to try to control some behemoth sea creatures in the nearby waters. In fact when Hana left, the old man was already working on his idea, silently meditating in his room to be at his most optimum condition. Committed in setting some defenses around the island, he implemented the plan.

...It was all a happy coincidence that one of the actual patrons of the land was here.  Hanan giggled. She also remembered that the interesting event, the gathering of the Anitos were still weeks away. Her laughter was pure and nice to the ear, unlike Mayari who could not, and would not bother trying to hide her madness.

The Gift of that giant who belonged to the Kapre species was the red barrier that he could conjure to surround him on all sides. Ley had so much trouble dealing with it because every time a shield break, another take its place in a matter of seconds. The headache was real considering that the enemy could definitely conjure the shield several more times.
