Chapter 31: The Massacre Of The Revears
A Highway Reaver’s POVThe moment the so-called “trash” student stepped out of the carriage, something inside me broke.It wasn't fear, that wasn't the first feeling I had, it was something deeper. A primal instinct, buried beneath fifteen years of killing, surviving and standing over corpses and calling it a job well done. That instinct, the one that had kept me alive when others died, screamed at me with a clarity I had never felt before.He was just wrong, I noticed it from when we had started beating him and he didn't die. I had it at the back of my mind that everything about him was wrong.He didn’t step out like a man escaping captivity, he stepped out like he was something being unleashed.And then he laughed maniacally. A laughter that cut through the canyon like a blade, an empty sound coming from someone that seemed to have nothing else to lose. It was wrong in a way I couldn’t explain. The sound seemed to sink into my bones, dragging the warmth out of my limbs, leaving
Chapter 32: The Massacre II
The Highway Revears POVMy legs suddenly refused to move, I guess from the panic cause I was freaked out. My breath came in short, broken gasps as my mind tried, and failed, to make sense of what I was seeing and not seeing. There was a flicker right in front of me. For the briefest moment, I saw it.A translucent, bone-like spike, it was wet and dripping.De Tian’s blood slid down its surface in slow, heavy drops before it vanished, retracting back into his chest. My stomach dropped.My hands trembled at the realisation. This wasn’t a weapon. It wasn’t magic. It was carried out and fully controlled by him. He was the dismantler. It was all him. “Please…” The word slipped out before I could stop it.It was pathetic but it was all I had left.Lin Feng didn’t even look at me, that hurt more than anything.I wasn’t worth his attention. I wasn’t even worth finishing personally.He stood there as the last of my men died, one after another, their bodies hitting the ground in uneven, fina
Chapter 33: The Capital of Light
Lin Feng’s POVThat massacre was the most satisfying thing I had experienced in a while. It was nothing short of delicious. I continued my journey.The skyline of the Empire didn’t grow, it exploded.One moment, the horizon was nothing but empty canyon lines and fading dust, then the next, the Capital of Light rose into existence like a revelation carved by arrogant gods. It didn’t emerge gradually, it dominated.The city sat upon the land like a crown of bleached bone, vast and immaculate, its towering walls rising hundreds of feet into the air. Pure white marble, polished to a mirror sheen, reflected the dying sunlight in blinding waves. Veins of sun-glass ran through the structure like frozen lightning, capturing light and bending it, turning the entire city into something radiant… something oppressive. It wasn’t meant to be welcoming or portray hospitality, it was meant to remind anyone coming in that this is power, this is purity and this is untouchable.Behind me, the carriag
Chapter 34: The Reunion Of Shadows
Lin Feng's POV“Let me see that!”The Captain moved instantly, lunging forward and snatching the badge from my hand. His confidence vanished as quickly as it had appeared.His fingers traced the engravings, his face drained of that smug smile he had on a while ago.Color fled from his skin, leaving behind something uncertain. “This…” he whispered, his voice no longer carrying authority, only disbelief. “This is the Grand Elder’s seal…”His hands trembled.“Where did you get this? He’s been missing since the Trial.”“He was met with an unfortunate accident, rest his soul.” I said, stepping closer.Close enough that only he could hear the rest.“He left me in charge of his… interests.”I let the words settle between us, then leaned in just slightly more.“Now,” I murmured, “are you going to keep the Grand Elder’s ‘representative’ waiting in the dirt with the livestock…”A pause.“…or are you going to open the damn gate?”The Captain looked at the medallion, then at me, then back at the
Chapter 35: What you think you know
Lin Feng's POV “There you are, my traitor brother.”Lin Chen stood with his back to me, framed perfectly by the cascading light. His posture was straight, his shoulders squared, his reflection staring back at him with quiet admiration. The ceremonial robes he wore flowed around him like liquid gold and white, the fabric so fine it seemed to hum with contained power.He looked… complete, healthy, radiant and utterly delusional."You're late, Feng," Chen said without turning around.His voice carried easily through the room, smooth and controlled, but there was something new beneath it.A resonance. Not strength, no, not real strength, but something layered over it. Something borrowed.It grated against my ears."I assumed you’d still be scrubbing the grease off your fingers in that hole you call a home."I didn’t respond immediately instead, I kept walking, each step composed, my presence pressing quietly against the carefully constructed peace of the room. The distance between us sh
Chapter 36: The Debt-Slave's Warning
Lin Chen’s POVThe sight of my brother, Feng standing within my orbit looking like a man who had crawled out of a mass grave, sent a sharp, involuntary jolt through me.How he got past security at the gate of the city looking like that baffled me, and the most shocking thing was how he found his way into this building without being caught as a nullity. This place was a place for high nobles, and it was heavily guarded to the peak with tier-3 mana securities. But anyways, the moment I saw him, I felt a sense of fast, unwanted, ugly relief. For a single, fragile heartbeat, everything else fell away, the gold, the silk, the weight of the expectations of the High Lords pressing against my shoulders. For that one moment, all I saw was my big brother. Not the ragged figure before me, not the cold eyes or the unnatural stillness, but him.Feng, he was alive. Last I heard of him, I was being told he was taken to the slave pits to rot and die. Perhaps I was seeing a ghost, I expelled that
Chapter 37: The Surprise Of Illusion
Lin Chen's POVHe was beside me, I didn’t see him arrive. One moment I was watching the Paladins.The next, he was just right beside me, very close to me. I got dumbfounded and my body locked in place. I could barely breathe, talk more of thinking. A cold, instinctive fear crawled up my spine, tightening every muscle. Before I could react, before I could even turn, he leaned in toward me. His breath brushed against my ear. It was cold, literally cold, not cool. "In three days, at high noon, the 'Ancestral Light' will reach its zenith," he whispered.The words slipped into me like something alive, like it felt heavy, final. A chill spread outward from where his voice touched me, sinking deep into my chest."That’s when the spider on your neck will stop drinking your mana and start eating your heart directly. Your death will be a sweet one to it."My pulse stuttered. For a second, the warmth at my throat changed. "It takes exactly twelve minutes for a Tier-6 mark to hollow out a ma
Chapter 38: The Feast Of Fools
Lin Feng’s POVThe meetup with my brother made me realise something. Despite everything I had become and how strong I really was. And after everything Chen had done to me. There was a part of me that cared about him, or maybe not. I didn't dwell on the thought for too long. “Where are you coming from?” Shen asked as if he cared about my whereabouts. Deep down I know he wants to stay around me in case things go South, then he can call me to come to his aide. I ignored him and began changing my clothes. “Feng, you can't give me the silent treatment forever or this cold shoulder. You dragged me here mostly against my will, you have to start talking.” Shen said, but I didn't look at his faceI left, fully clothed to another location. The Great Hall of the Capital was a cathedral of excess.It didn’t simply display wealth, it weaponized it.Massive chandeliers forged from suspended sun-crystals hung far above, each one radiating a blinding, immaculate light that poured down in cascadi
Chapter 39: The Catalyst
Lin Feng's POVI followed his eyes and it landed directly on Chen.He sat there like a centerpiece, still, composed, radiant under the flood of light.His golden robes shimmered faintly, the fabric catching every movement of the air. His posture was perfect, and I applaud how he kept his expression calm. But at this point, he was nothing but a statue, something lifeless. He was a sacrifice. "The Shadow Mark has successfully rooted," the West Priest continued. "The bridge is stable. We only need the catalyst."My fingers tightened slightly around the tray, not enough to draw attention.I moved again, stepping forward to pour a dark, expensive vintage into a crystal goblet positioned near the edge of the dais. The liquid flowed smoothly, reflecting the chandelier light like liquid shadow.My heart gave a slow, heavy thud."And what about the source?" the East Priest asked, his tone sharpening slightly. "Is the connection to the Primordial Void secure?"There was a pause from whom he
Chapter 40: The Sabotage
Lin Feng’s POVI had to find a way out of the gathering as soon as I could, I needed a way to stop what was going to befall Chen and I but I couldn’t do shit here. I needed at least a place different from here where this mana was so strong and eyes were everywhere. That was probably what was making the tablet heat up. I couldn't use the door, because why would a servant leave when the function wasn't yet over. That was begging for death, whereas I was sort of a wanted man in the capital, even though not many people knew. I knew I wouldn't die, but I really didn't want to find out or be involved in any brawl. I decided to go through the basement. The descent into the Great Altar’s basement wasn’t marked by a single doorway or an obvious entrance.That would have been too simple.No, the designers of this place had worked it out perfectly with intent. Layers upon layers of security, not all of them were visible to the naked eye, and of course as you'd expect, not all of them were phy
