Lucien also noticed a large wooden crate sitting right next to the furnace. He opened the lid. The crate was completely full of dozens of glass vials. It was the entire hidden stash of the black graveyard poison.If the furnace exploded, the fire would destroy the entire stash of poison, saving the sect's water supply forever.Lucien heard footsteps coming up the wooden stairs from the cellar. Rengal was coming back.Lucien moved fast. He jumped back up to the wooden ceiling beams. He pulled himself through the small open window, climbing back onto the roof just as Elder Rengal walked back into the laboratory.Lucien did not leave. He crawled to the edge of the roof and jumped silently into the branches of a tall pine tree nearby. He sat in the dark branches, watching the laboratory window. He wanted to make sure his plan worked.Inside the lab, Elder Rengal carried a large bowl of red fire-powder.The old man walked over to the giant bronze furnace. He poured the red powder into the

The loud, ringing alarm bells echoed across the entire Cloud-Soaring Mountain. DONG! DONG! DONG!The noise was deafening. It woke up every single person in the sect. Wooden doors flew open. Young disciples ran out into the cold night air, wearing their thin sleeping clothes. They carried wooden practice swords, looking around in pure panic. They smelled the thick, black smoke coming from the ruined alchemy laboratory.Lucien walked quietly through the shadows. He reached the small, dark window of Kai’s wooden dormitory room. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the small glass bottle of white liquid, the antidote for the injured boy, Rin. Lucien gently placed the bottle on the windowsill, where Kai would easily find it. His promise was kept. Rin would live.Lucien quickly hurried back to his own tiny, dirty cabin near the outer wall. He pushed the door open. He took the wrapped-up God-Slaying Spear and shoved it deep under the cheap straw of his bed. He grabbed his chipped, rust

It was a drop of pure, absolute nightmare. It carried the smell of old bone, the freezing mist of the deep abyss, and the heavy, crushing weight of the Graveyard King. It carried the terrifying aura of a monster who had eaten gods.Seraphina was speaking to the guard captain. Suddenly, she stopped. The words died in her throat. Her pale blue eyes went perfectly wide. Her heart hammered violently against her ribs.She froze. Her survival instincts, the instincts that had kept her alive when the shadow-bats attacked her ten years ago, began to scream inside her brain. “DANGER! DANGER! MONSTER!”The feeling hit her like a physical punch to the stomach. It was a feeling of absolute, unstoppable death. It was the exact same feeling she had felt ten years ago, when the mysterious boy in dirty rags had snapped his fingers and turned a thousand monsters into ash.Seraphina stopped breathing. Her hand instantly flew to the handle of her ice sword. She whipped her head around so fast her black

“Why do I feel dread when I look at him?” Seraphina thought. “Why does looking into his brown eyes feel like looking down a bottomless cliff?”She looked at the cheap iron sword on his belt. It was chipped and ruined. A master of the dark would not carry a piece of trash like that. A master of the dark would not shake in fear.Seraphina slowly pushed her ice sword back into its scabbard. Click.The freezing pressure in the air vanished. The disciples in the crowd let out a massive, collective sigh of relief.Lucien let his shoulders drop. He let out a loud, shaky breath, acting like he had just survived a heart attack. "Thank you, my Lady. You have a very scary stare."Seraphina did not smile. She did not apologize. She turned her back to him. She looked at the guard captain."Keep an eye on him," Seraphina ordered coldly, pointing a finger back at Lucien. "Do not let him out of the Outer Court. If he tries to leave the walls, arrest him.""Yes, Elder Seraphina!" the captain saluted.S

The loud, terrifying war horns blew at the bottom of the mountain. BWOOOOOOM! BWOOOOOOM!The sound echoed through the morning mist. Inside the Cloud-Soaring Sect, the young disciples held their swords tightly. Their hands were shaking. They had put on their light blue armor. They had sharpened their steel. They were ready for three thousand golden knights to march up the stairs and slaughter them. But the attack did not happen.The heavy marching of boots stopped halfway up the mountain path. The golden army of Lord Julian stayed back, hiding in the thick white fog.Instead, a much smaller group walked up to the broken wooden gates of the Outer Court.There were only fifty men. They did not wear the shining, beautiful golden armor of the Saint-Aurelius Clan. They wore dark grey iron plates and thick, dirty animal furs. They looked wild, rough, and cruel.The man at the front carried a large banner. The flag showed a picture of a black wolf with sharp iron teeth."The Iron-Fang Sect,"
Chapter 106
Seraphina turned to the old man. "Master Tian, please. We cannot win a duel right now. Our disciples are not ready.""If we fight the golden army, we all die today," Master Tian said softly, coughing into his bloody cloth. "If we fight the duel, we might buy some time. A tiny spark of hope is better than total darkness. We accept the challenge."Seraphina closed her eyes. It broke her heart, but she knew the Sect Master was right. She slowly nodded her head."We accept," Seraphina said coldly to Garm. "Three matches. Under twenty years of age.""Excellent!" Garm laughed, clapping his huge hands together. "Clear the courtyard! Let the games begin!"The disciples quickly backed away, creating a large, open circle in the middle of the dirt training ground.Lucien stayed near the back. He watched closely. He knew Lord Julian would not offer a fair fight. There was a dirty trick coming."Match one!" Garm shouted. He pointed to a young man standing in the Iron-Fang group. "Boro! Step forwar
Chapter 107
The boy named Vrox stepped forward. He threw off his dark grey cloak.When the Cloud-Soaring disciples saw Vrox, they stopped cheering instantly. Total, absolute despair fell over the courtyard.Vrox was supposedly under twenty years old, but he looked like a fully grown, terrifying monster. He was seven feet tall. His arms were as thick as tree trunks, covered in bulging, pulsing black veins. His skin was pale and covered in ugly, dark red alchemical tattoos. He did not look human. He looked like a beast from a nightmare.In his massive hands, Vrox held a weapon that made everyone gasp. It was a giant, solid iron pillar. It looked like a broken piece of a castle gate. It weighed at least three hundred pounds. Vrox swung it around with one hand like it was a light wooden stick."Kill," Vrox grunted. His voice sounded like rocks grinding together.Garm smiled his cruel, arrogant smile again. "This is my son, Vrox. He is nineteen years old. Perfectly legal for the duel."Seraphina’s f
Chapter 108
The dirt circle was completely silent. Vrox, the giant, seven-foot-tall alchemical monster, stared at his empty hands. He had just swung a three-hundred-pound solid iron pillar with all his terrifying strength. He had expected to smash the dirty beggar into red paste.But the beggar, Mo Yan, had caught the giant weapon with one bare hand. And then, he had crumpled the solid iron like it was a cheap tin cup.Vrox took a slow, shaking step backward. The monster's small eyes were filled with pure, absolute panic.Lucien stood in the center of the circle. He dropped the crushed piece of iron into the dirt. Thud. He did not look angry. He looked completely bored."My turn," Lucien said lazily.Lucien did not pull out his sword. He did not use a magical spell. He simply took one step forward and slapped Vrox open-handed right in the center of his massive chest.It did not look like a hard hit. It looked like a careless, lazy swat. But the sound it made was like a cannon firing.BOOOOOOM! Th

There was only one way to find out. She needed to push him. She needed to break his lazy disguise and see the monster hiding underneath.Seraphina turned around and walked out of the ashes. She drew her ice sword from its scabbard. The freezing mist poured onto the ground. She was going to hunt the rogue.Lucien was hiding. He had found a small, secluded training yard near the very edge of the outer wall. It was an old, forgotten place. The ground was covered in dry dirt and yellow leaves. Old, broken wooden training dummies stood in the corners, covered in spiderwebs. No one ever came here.Lucien lay flat on a long wooden bench. He pulled his dirty brown hood completely over his face to block out the cloudy sunlight. He crossed his arms over his chest and rested his cheap iron sword on his stomach.He was pretending to sleep, but he was wide awake. His Shadow-Lord hearing listened to the wind. He listened to the distant sounds of the disciples training. He was waiting for his cous
Chapter 110
Seraphina stared directly into Lucien’s face. The freezing mist blew his dirty brown hair out of his eyes.She looked deep into his muddy, brown eyes.Suddenly, the world around Seraphina seemed to vanish. The cold wind stopped. The training yard disappeared.As she stared into the eyes of this dirty, lazy beggar, she felt it.The disguise felt incredibly thin.Beneath the muddy face, beneath the lazy slouch, she felt a heavy, ancient, terrifying weight. It was the feeling of a predator. It was the feeling of standing at the edge of a bottomless black hole, waiting for a monster to reach out and pull her into the dark.A sudden, violent memory flashed in her mind.“Ten years ago. The deep, grey fog of the Eternal Ossuary. Thousands of screaming shadow-bats swarming around her. A boy in rags standing on a giant rib bone. The boy snapping his fingers. Black fire turning the world to ash. The boy looking at her with cold, ancient eyes.”A chill ran down Seraphina’s spine that had nothing
