The Genetic Key
"They have arrived at the outer perimeter, Mr. Thorne. The entire night sky is completely covered by attack helicopters."Dr. Hans Gruber's voice trembled violently, breaking the tension inside the Black Castle's control room. The mad doctor's fingers danced wildly across the keyboard. Cold sweat drenched his glasses."What is the size of their fleet, Doctor?" asked Caleb Thorne. His tone of voice was extraordinarily flat, as if he were asking for the weather forecast."Three squadrons of attack helicopters from the air. Dozens of heavy combat tanks surround our land route. And there are thousands of foot infantry marching on the front lines," reported Hans, panting heavily. "My sensors detect an anomaly in their uniforms, Sir. They are wearing tactical gear that emits high-level anti-magic waves.""A joint force from around the world has truly come to knock on our door," said Isabella Vane. The underworld queen stood beside the control desk. She loaded live rounds into her automatic
Blood Paid with Blood
"No one shoots to the front."Caleb Thorne's voice sounded incredibly cold and absolute. His pale left hand tightly gripped the barrel of Viktor Krum's Gatling machine gun, pressing the muzzle of the weapon of mass destruction towards the marble floor of the Black Castle's lobby."My King, they have breached the main gate. If this dog does not shoot now, they will storm in and surround us," argued Viktor with racing breath. His left eye glared wildly from behind his carbon steel mask, staring at the thousands of United Nations troops marching outside in the snowstorm."Lower your weapon, Viktor. This is not a negotiable order," said Caleb flatly. The Shadow Emperor stepped down from the balcony stairs, walking across the lobby towards the main door that was wide open due to the biometric DNA hack.Isabella Vane stood near a pillar. The woman aimed her assault rifle with trembling hands. "Caleb. That girl brought thousands of soldiers to kill us. T
The Broken Machine
"You threatened to kill me for the girl who just put a hole in your shoulder, Caleb?!"Isabella Vane screamed, panting, clutching her wrist that felt crushed from Caleb's rough parry. Her silver eyes stared in horror at the snow-white-haired man in front of her. Thick black blood flowed heavily from Caleb's left shoulder, dripping wetting the marble floor of the Black Castle's lobby.Caleb stood silently. His face showed absolutely no pain. His empty brown eye only stared straight at the smoking muzzle of the revolver in his sister's hand."Retreat to the hallway right now, Bella. Do not interfere in my business with my family," ordered Caleb. His voice sounded incredibly flat and mechanical, as if he were just a computer program reading a script.Isabella swallowed her saliva, which felt as bitter as bile. The woman finally realized the absolute horror that was taking place inside the Shadow Emperor's head. Caleb had lost all his emotional capaci
Suicide Vest
"Do you really think that rusty iron tube can kill me, General?"Caleb Thorne's voice sounded incredibly hoarse and grating, breaking the silence in the lobby of the Black Castle. The God of Death slowly raised his head, covered in fresh blood. His face, ruined by the pistol whip, showed absolutely no fear. His one brown eye stared straight into the muzzle of the artillery rocket launcher with absolute emptiness.His sister, Lisa, had been secured to the rear lines. The girl stood far from the line of fire, heavily guarded by two medical soldiers.Caleb's military brain, working like a calculator, immediately responded to this new situation. His logical paradox had been resolved. His primary protection target was no longer within attack range. Now, the only protocol left in his head was total slaughter.The pitch-black shadow beneath Caleb's shattered knees began to boil. The ink of darkness churned ferociously, emitting a cold aura that froze the
A Dog with a Broken Leg
"Run to the bunker right now, Queen. The roof of this east wing is going to fall on us soon."Viktor Krum's hoarse voice overpowered the deafening sound of exploding concrete. Giant chunks of marble plummeted from the ceiling, hitting the floor right next to Isabella Vane's feet and shattering to pieces."I will not leave Caleb alone in that lobby, Viktor. That bastard general put an explosive vest on Lisa. If Caleb moves even slightly, his sister will be blown to bits," replied Isabella with a desperate shout. The woman fired her assault rifle at two UN soldiers trying to storm in from the front corridor."We cannot help him if we are crushed to death by rocks in this corridor, Queen.""There must be another way. We must disable the bomb trigger from its source."Viktor kicked the remnants of a collapsed pillar. His left eye, glowing wildly from behind his carbon steel mask, stared out the shattered glass window. Out there, amidst the sn
Breath of Death
The small red lights on Lisa Thorne's tactical vest went completely dead. The sickening countdown sound vanished. The detonator signal from the command truck had been completely severed. The UN General widened his eyes, realizing that his most genius hostage tactic had just been destroyed by the brutal sacrifice of a guard dog outside the castle."Shoot him right now!" roared the General, his face flushed red with panic and fury.The General tightened his grip on the high-caliber artillery rocket launcher on his shoulder. Without waiting for further orders, his finger pressed the trigger with full force.BOOM!A concrete-piercing rocket sped across the Black Castle lobby with unavoidable speed. Caleb Thorne had just risen from his kneeling position when the deadly projectile arrived. He had no time to summon a shadow shield. He hadn't even had the chance to take a breath.The rocket hit squarely, not on his head or stomach, but right on h
The Mute God
"Shoot him right now! Do not let that monster breathe!" roared the UN General from behind his gas mask, pointing straight at Caleb Thorne, who staggered backwards. "Our weapons are jammed, General! The temperature around his body plummeted suddenly and destroyed the trigger mechanisms!" replied an elite soldier with a voice trembling in panic. "Use backup rifles! That green smoke is spreading too fast! We have to get out of this lobby before our lungs melt!" shouted another soldier, crawling backward away from the puddle of their comrades' corpses, which had just melted down to blackened bones. "Brother Caleb, help me! My throat feels so hot! I can't breathe!" cried Lisa from the marble floor. The girl covered her nose and mouth with the sleeve of her tactical uniform, staring in horror at the green fog seeping out of her brother's chest. "Keep your eyes closed and hold your breath a little longer, Lisa," answered Caleb. Hi
Wordless, Merciless
"Look at this pathetic god of death of yours. He can't even whimper to beg for mercy."The UN General's laughter boomed, bouncing off the walls of the shattered Black Castle lobby. The man in the medal-covered uniform lowered his rocket launcher. He pointed straight at Caleb Thorne, who was still kneeling in a pool of his own blood. The green smoke from Caleb's chest had stopped billowing, but the man's neck continued to drip thick black blood from vocal cords scorched to ash."Are you all afraid of this monster?" mocked the General, turning to his troops who were still holding their weapons with trembling hands. "You see it for yourselves. Necromantic magic requires verbal spells to control spirits. Without his voice, he is just a crippled lump of meat. Bring the titanium restraint chains here. Tie those destroyed legs of his. We will drag him alive to the Geneva laboratory tonight."Some elite soldiers began to regain their courage. They laughed softly,
The Tranquilizer Dart
"I can't bear to look at your face anymore, Caleb."Lisa Thorne's voice sounded incredibly desperate and hoarse. The young girl's index finger began to press the trigger of the silver revolver pressed against her right temple. Tears wet her face, which was dirty from gunpowder dust and blood. She truly wanted to end all this madness. She wanted to go follow her mother and forget this monster-filled world.Caleb Thorne widened his one brown eye. His cold, emotionless military brain instantly detected a fatal threat to his primary protection target. His absolute logic ordered his body to lunge forward, seize the weapon, and break his sister's arm if necessary to ensure she stayed alive.However, the Shadow Emperor's physical body fiercely refused the command.Caleb's right leg muscles had been obliterated by the alchemical bullet. His right chest had just taken a direct hit from a concrete-piercing rocket. His dragon ribs cracked severely inside his
A King Without a Throne
"Lift her slowly. Be careful with the oxygen tube. Do not let it disconnect, or her brain function will instantly die completely."Dr. Hans Gruber's hoarse and panicked voice broke the silence of the incredibly gray morning. The doctor stood near the back doors of an armored military ambulance that was dented in several places. His hands, dirty with concrete dust, directed two remaining Silent Guard soldiers to load a medical stretcher into the vehicle's cabin.On that stretcher, Martha Thorne lay stiffly. The life support machine beeped rhythmically, keeping the comatose old woman breathing after she survived the collapse of the castle roof last night.Isabella Vane limped through the snowstorm. She supported the body of Lisa Thorne, who was still unconscious from the tranquilizer. Isabella's tactical dress was torn to shreds, but she managed to lay the young girl down on the long bench of the ambulance very carefully."That level four bunker tru
