Primordial Chaos Dragon Tower: Harem System - Chapter 589

Chapter 589: Velythra, the Shadow’s Crescendo
She goes by many names and titles.

Many called her the Silent Requiem.

The Shadow Reaper.

The Silent Stalker.

The Darkness Embrace.

The Cursed Child.

The Shadow’s Crescendo.

But in the end, she was known as the Mother of Assassins.

Her legacy started after the Great War, when the immortals and gods were at war over the remnants of what was left of the primordial era. They called it the Crossing.

There was chaos everywhere at that time. Those who didn’t know what was going on were crushed unknowingly, and those who knew couldn’t save their skin either.

However, the day the immortal fell and everything went to shit, Selinthra awakened. She was but a humble daughter of a farmer and an artisan.

Her dream was to grow up and become an artisan like her mother. However, the day the immortal fell was the day she lost everything, but also the day her bloodline awakened.

Selinthra was not a simple person. Perhaps her parents knew that, which is why they traveled thousands of miles and chose to hide her in a remote village.

That day, when every single soul she knew and grew up with died, Selinthra rose from the rubble and did what no mortal had ever done before. She picked the sharpest weapon she could find and pierced the heart of the immortal, killing him before the god who was after him arrived.

Perhaps killing the one person he wanted alive, the god cursed Selinthra to forever walk the likes of death and never know peace.

However, legend speaks of the day a mortal looked a god in the face and spoke words that to this day still echo in the void:

“You are next.”

Those words were so brave that the universe, looking to select a few people to become her weapons, picked her, and instead of becoming someone who would never know peace, she became someone who had both peace and torment.

The legend speaks of the one who has no presence. She makes no sound and feels no remorse for those she kills.

They called her the Shadow Reaper, for she comes and goes with the shadow.

Those who saw her said she had both white and dark hair, and those who knew her said she had two personalities.

They said that when her hair turns white, she uses a white dagger that claims the life of those she wants, and when her hair turns dark, all those marked for death will never escape her shadow.

They called her the Yin-Yang Assassin.

During the Shadow Wars, when every battle was fought in the shadows, she earned her true name, for legend speaks of the day immortals and gods came together to stop her.

That night was called the Coming of the End, for the war that had been going on for a millennium was stopped by a single lady wielding two daggers.

When she fell, her name became a symbol of all assassins. They called her the Mother of Assassins; some called her the Silent Veil.

But the universe called her Velythra, the Shadow’s Crescendo.

Lady Vari hovered in the air, surrounded by two types of energies. One was white, and the other was black. Her figure was obscure within these energies, and the aura coming from her was both benevolent and malevolent.

A couple of hours later, a yin-yang symbol appeared on her forehead. At the same time, her true name appeared in Kent’s mind, causing him to begin the incantation.

“She who slew an immortal as a mortal. The one who looked a god in the eye and threatened him. The one chosen by the universe to kill.

She was cursed, but it became a fortune. Her bloodline birthed the legacy of all assassins, and she was hailed as the Mother of All Assassins—the Silent Veil, the Shadow Reaper.

Rise, Velythra, for your destiny awaits.”

Two daggers, black and white, flashed through the air, cutting an opening into the energy shield around Lady Vari.

The cut created a large enough opening and a crack that spread, and soon the entire shield fell, revealing a beauty with one half white hair and the other half black hair.

She was clad in black body armour made of leather, and in her hands were the two daggers—the white in her right hand and the black in her left.

She looked calm, and the air around her was rather subtle. However, after a few seconds, none of her sisters, including Kent—well, perhaps except Vexthra—could sense her. It was like she had vanished.

However, the most shocking thing was that she was right in front of them, yet they couldn’t sense her. Her presence was gone just like that.

She flew down and into Kent’s arms, sharing a quick kiss with him.

“Big sister Vari, why can’t we sense you?” Lilian asked.

“It’s my cloaking ability. Don’t worry, it will be over in under two minutes since I can only maintain it for two minutes tops. However, within those two minutes, only those three realms above me can sense me.”

“Isn’t that too powerful?” Ingrid couldn’t help asking. However, Lady Vari just smiled.

“It’s one of the many cloaking abilities I have.”

“And why is your hair black and white?” Unity asked. They all wanted to know, considering this was their first time seeing such a hairstyle.

“These are my forms.” Lady Vari activated an ability, and her hair turned white. The moment she took that form, an air of righteousness washed over everyone.

However, when she shifted her hair to black, they all took a step back. It was like looking into the abyss when their eyes landed on her.

“In my white hair form, I can harness the power of space and time to some extent. Though not enough, I can use it to assassinate those who deserve it.

But in my dark hair form, I can harness the power of the shadows and the void to create chaos where required. And no, I won’t become a bloodthirsty maniac who won’t know when to stop killing.

It is just that my two forms each have different abilities and skill sets I can use. But when in both forms, I can harness half the abilities of each form.”

“Looks like we have another powerful assassin in the family.” Vexthra and her sisters dragged her away to examine her further while Kent got ready to awaken Velyra’s true name.

The messages he received after awakening Vari’s true name can wait for now.
