Chapter 51: The Shadow Fight
Lin Feng’s POVThe girl with silver hair didn’t move to intercept us. She simply stood there, watching, more reason I had to believe it wasn't real. But for it to be shown to me, someone was definitely watching. Her presence pressed down on the world like a second sky, cold and suffocating. The light around her was sterile. Surgical. It erased shadow rather than illuminating it. I didn't even get to see her face properly. My Legion of the Damned, entities born from the deepest layers of void, twitched at the edge of her influence, their forms thinning, distorting, as if reality itself was rejecting them. But they had almost finished dealing with the Knights and there was now space to escape. She was a problem, not one I could solve right now, so I didn’t stay to ask for her name.My HUD was flashing a violent, rhythmic purple, pulsing in time with the chaos inside my chest. The air around me warped subtly, bending and stretching as if I were standing at the center of a gravitation
Chapter 52: The Shadow In The Sun
Lin Feng's POV It worked! “Yes!” I couldn't even hide my excitement that such a dangerous gamble paid off. I was glad and that gave me the power to keep pushing. The iron grate of the sewer exit hissed as it dissolved under my touch, the metal turning into grey ash. I collapsed onto the blackened soil of the Outer Wastes, the air finally hitting my lungs, not the sterilized, perfumed air of the Capital, but the thick, metallic scent of my home.The Scavenger Pits lay ahead, a jagged scar on the earth’s surface. To anyone else, it was a graveyard of industrial waste and broken dreams. To me, it was a fortress."We’re back," Shen whimpered, falling to his knees and kissing the soot-stained ground. He didn't care about the toxic runoff or the smell of burning tires anymore. It wasn't the Capital, and that was enough.I didn't join him in the dirt. I stood, my body still humming with that terrifying, unstable vibration. My vision flickered, the HUD of the Gacha interface glowing a deep
Chapter 53: The Ageless Maiden
Yue’s POVThe smell that emanated from the Scavenger Pits was a thick, oily soup of failure.It clung to everything. The stench of decay wasn’t just physical, it was historical. Generations of discarded lives, crushed ambitions, and systemic rot had settled here, layering the atmosphere with something far heavier than mere pollution.Most people would choke on it, not me. I walked through battlefields where the ground itself wept blood. I had stood in courts where kings traded souls like coin. Compared to that… this was simply honest filth.Yet as I stood before Lin Feng, something else cut through the staleness of the Pits.A certain familiarity that's ancient.He stood before me like a fracture in reality itself, a silhouette of violet fire and charcoal-stained rags, his form unstable, his presence warping the air around him. The void clung to him like a second skin, leaking from the cracks in his body slowly, even though he was healing. To the untrained eye, he was exactly what t
Chapter 54: The Clumsy Shield
Junjie's POVLin Feng taking us, the nullities with him to live in the scavenger pits wasn't exactly something I had dreamed of. Back at the academy, I didn't get to see him on a day-to-day basis, but the few times I did, he looked like the damned of every one of us. I admired his perseverance because of what I saw him go through, the constant bullying and every other thing I saw him suffer, I would never have thought he'd have so much power eventually. The mud of the Scavenger Pits was a greedy mouth, and today, it wanted my left boot for some reason. Settling here, especially for me, hasn't been easy, but I manage and do my best. I stumbled, my arms flailing like a panicked bird, as I tried to balance a rusted sheet of corrugated iron on my shoulder. I am Junjie, the boy who could trip over a flat shadow. Among the Nullities, I was the bottom of the food chain, the weak link, the jester, the one who would likely be the first to die if the Empire ever decided to stop ignoring us
Chapter 55: The Breath Of The Saint
Lin Feng’s POVMeeting Junjie definitely opened my eyes more to just what nullities can do or perhaps what follows them. He'd be very useful to me. The days activities went on as usual, nullities working and all that, and when it was night, people began falling asleep. But I didn't.The clock struck midnight and the darkness was incinerated.I stood atop the rusted gantry of the main turbine hall, the skeletal metal groaning faintly beneath my weight as I looked out over the Scavenger Pits. The world below, usually drowned in shadow, decay, and a kind of oppressive twilight, was being peeled open.The sky was bleeding, a violent tear of gold had split the clouds apart, stretching across the heavens like a wound that refused to close. It wasn’t sunlight. It didn’t rise gradually or warm the horizon. It invaded, a harsh, artificial brilliance that carved through the toxic smog like a blade through rotting flesh. The stars vanished.And for a single, suffocating moment, the entire was
Chapter 56: The Burning Of The Sanctuary
Junjie’s POV“I would never do such a thing.” I heard Feng's voice echo across the pits as he roared that statement.“You live me no other option, I'll burn down this place and destroy everything inside of it.” The figure who stood above Lin Feng said. Unlike Feng, he didn't roar or shout, he just spoke and everyone heard it. Like a speaker was placed inside of us to hear what he said. The atmosphere in the scavengers pits wasn't only burning me and every other person I had raised my eyes to see, it turned into a solid, golden poison. It pressed against my skin, seeped massively into my pores, and crushed my lungs from the inside out. I lay facedown in the slimy mud, my fingers clawing at the vitrified soil as I tried to pull a single breath into my lungs. But there was no air left, only the "Saint’s Breath," a holy vacuum that made my chest feel like it was being flattened by a mountain.Seeing that my nose wasn't able to do the work of breathing, I opted to use my mouth instead,
Chapter 57: The Damned Legion
Junjie's POVThe excitement washed over me, but that made me stumble into the mud again. I didn't stay down for long, I dragged myself up again, there was no time for that clumsiness. I looked up to confirm it was him. He stood still in the middle of it all, he was untouched. Obviously because he was stronger than the other nullities in the Pits. The fire bent around him, the light recoiled from him, as if even this divine annihilation couldn’t fully claim him. His silhouette cut through the chaos like a blade through water.I staggered the last few steps and skidded to a halt beside him, nearly collapsing."Boss… we have to go now! we can't waste a single second out here anymore.” I wheezed, clutching his tattered sleeve like it was the only solid thing left in the world, maybe it was. "The tunnels… they are opening…"He didn’t move, but his left eye burned, a whirlpool of violet and black, spinning slowly, hungrily, reflecting something far deeper than the destruction around us.
Chapter 58: The Headcount
Lin Feng’s POVMy Legion was completely wiped out. Like one of the most powerful weapons I had constantly made use of was erased in just a matter of seconds, almost faster than seconds to be honest. The confusion ran through my head, just how powerful was this inquisitor, I had heard tales of what his kind could do when I was back at the academy. I just never believed I'd witness it first hand. Even worse because I thought my legion were at least going to buy us, or rather give me a bit of time to think of a way out of this mess. But these fools didn't, the inquisitor drew out their souls that weren't even existent to begin with. How the fuck do you draw out what doesn't exist. It made absolutely no sense to me. I turned to look at Junjie, ten seconds ago there was a glint of hope that flashed across his suffocating face. He really thought it would be over. Now, that hope was being replaced by fear. The kind of fear that's controlled by the mind and can literally kill someone if
Chapter 59: The Price of A Secret
Lin Feng's POV My grip on the blade tightened, out of pure rage. But after weighing all my available options, I loosened. I lowered my spectral blade.The violet fire on it sputtered once… then died off. Silence rushed in to fill the space it left behind.I stood there, exposed. No shadows. No concealment or defense.Just me and him. "Stop," I rasped, my voice carrying through the vacuum, it didn't echo as it normally would.The word cut through the chaos with a clarity that even the Saint couldn’t ignore."The Tablet is here. The souls behind me are nothing. Take the vessel, and leave the dirt."The words tasted like ash. Behind me, I felt the shift. Not movement, attention.Three hundred lives, all pivoting on what came next. Malachi paused.He hovered inches above the vitrified ground, his presence still crushing but it was more measured now, he controlled it. The pressure eased, it didn't go away totally. Why would he let it go? It was who he was. It reduced just enough for th
Chapter 60: The Sweetest Poison
Yun Qian POVOhh, what a beautiful, beautiful world we live in. The fresh air at the window in my room felt too surreal, too fresh. My lungs tingled as I drew in a sweet long breath. What a wonderful world, I murmured again with a smile on my face. I looked outside and saw the beautiful garden. I hurried down. The garden of the High-Spires Academy was too perfect.That was the first thing I noticed every time I stepped into it, it was not only about the beauty, nor the harmony that flourished here in abundance, neither was it the carefully orchestrated blend of flora and mana that made lesser nobles gasp in admiration, everywhere was an art of green, red and white. All blending together seamlessly. It was not all of that, it was the precision.The grass wasn’t just trimmed, it was measured. Every blade stood at the exact same height, aligned like soldiers awaiting inspection.The roses didn’t only grow, they were arranged, their petals unfurling in flawless symmetry, each bloom pos
