The battlefield was no longer a place of just war—it had become something alive. Smoke swirled across the broken ground, glowing red from scattered fires. The earth trembled beneath the clash of blades, the roar of soldiers, and the shattering cries of both the living and the dying. Above, the sky cracked with rolling thunder, as if the heavens themselves had joined the fight.Lena stood in the center of it all, her chest rising and falling sharply. Her blade was slick with blood, her knuckles raw from gripping the hilt too tight. She wasn’t sure if the pounding in her ears came from her own heart or the chaos that surrounded her. For a moment, she wanted to collapse. But she couldn’t. Too much rested on this fight.Kai’s voice cut through the storm, deep and steady despite the madness around them. “Hold the line!”His command rang out like thunder, steadying their soldiers. He stood at Lena’s side, his dark hair plastered to his forehead with sweat and rain, his armor dented but unbr

The battlefield was painted in fire and shadow. Smoke rose in thick curtains, and the ground shook with every clash of metal, every blast of power. Lena stood at the heart of the chaos, her chest heaving as her lungs pulled in air tainted with ash and blood. Her body was exhausted, but her spirit refused to break.Beside her, Kai’s aura burned brighter than ever. His eyes glowed with a furious light, each movement sharp and precise as he tore through the soldiers who still dared to stand against them. He looked like a storm wrapped in human flesh, unrelenting, merciless.And near them, the Zero Child stood quietly. Though still small, their presence was overwhelming, like the weight of the sky pressing down. The enemies who caught sight of them either hesitated in fear or fell trembling before their strange, otherworldly power.But the war was far from over.The enemy had unleashed their strongest weapon yet—a towering machine bristling with weapons, pulsing with stolen energy that hu

The night was thick with smoke and whispers of war. The sky glowed faintly red in the distance, the echo of battles fought elsewhere, but the real storm was gathering here. Lena stood at the edge of the broken courtyard, her boots sinking into the cracked earth, the sharp taste of ash in her mouth. Around her, the air trembled with a tension she could not shake off.Kai was beside her, his eyes burning with the same quiet fire they always carried. He didn’t need to speak; his hand hovering close to hers said enough. He was ready—ready to kill, ready to protect, ready to die if it came to that.The Zero Child stood a few steps behind them, her pale eyes watching the ruins with a stillness that unsettled Lena. She was only a child in form, but there was something endless in her gaze, like she carried centuries of broken lives within her small body.And now, all three of them stood in the center of what would decide everything.“Do you hear that?” Kai asked quietly.Lena held her breath.

The world outside the ruined walls trembled as if it too felt the weight of what was about to happen. Dust from shattered stone still hung in the air like smoke after a fire, and the ground was uneven, covered with broken weapons, blood, and the bodies of those who had already fallen. The silence was brief, uneasy—like the pause before a storm unleashed its full fury.Lena stood in the middle of the battlefield, her chest heaving with every breath. Her sword was heavy in her hand, its blade stained red. She could taste iron on her tongue, not sure if it was from the air or from her own wounds. Her arms ached, her body screamed, yet her spirit did not falter. She could not falter. Too many lives depended on her standing her ground.Kai was at her side, tall and unbroken despite the blood running down his cheek. His dark eyes burned with a fire that would not die, no matter how many times death tried to claim him. The Zero Child was just behind them, his small frame shaking, though his

The battlefield was soaked in smoke, fire, and blood. The screams of the wounded mixed with the clash of steel, the crack of gunfire, and the deep rumble of collapsing structures. It felt like the world itself was breaking apart.Lena stood in the middle of it all, her body trembling but her eyes burning with fire. Her breathing was uneven, her chest rising and falling as if she had run for hours, but she refused to stop. She couldn’t. Too much had already been lost. Too many lives had been thrown into this storm of destruction.Kai was beside her, his stance sharp and commanding even as his clothes were torn and blood dripped from his arm. He looked like a shadow carved out of the chaos, a presence that seemed immovable no matter what storm raged around them. His gaze was fixed on the advancing enemy forces—dark-clad soldiers pushing forward without fear, their weapons raised, their eyes cold.“They won’t stop until they burn everything,” Kai muttered, his voice low but steady.Lena
