The capital's old magic barrier dissolved into gray dust, leaving the inner palace completely open before Kael’s forty thousand troops. The ancient energy lines that had protected the royal family for many years snapped with a quiet hiss. The massive silver walls crumbled down into the wet dirt, completely erasing the palace security net."The barrier is dead! The defense lines are completely gone!" Officer Jace yelled out to the frontline warriors, his iron spear pointing forward. "The entire central courtyard is wide open for our lances! Move the transport wagons inside the walls right now!" Jace barked fiercely.The forty thousand rebel forces moved forward in a perfect straight line, their iron shields locking together to form a solid wall. They marched straight into the open palace courtyard, their boots hitting the gravel paths with a heavy thud that shook the windows.King Alden and Queen Eleanor watched the gold barriers vanish from their high balcony, their hands shaking hard

The loud blast of demonic war horns ripped through the freezing night air. The savage Doom-Realm Calamity Sect launched its brutal attack against the capital gates, shattering the midnight quiet. Red flames lit up the dark sky as the heavy iron gate doors began to bend under the weight of the outside forces."The northern pass has fallen completely!" Officer Jace yelled out as he ran into the throne room, his clothes caked in cold mud. "The outer walls are cracking apart, Master Kael! The enemy forces are pouring into the city sectors right now!"Ten thousand dark mages burned the lower trading blocks to the ground with their black fire spells. Thousands of innocent weavers and poor laborers were trapped inside the burning buildings, their screams echoing through the market lanes. The regular families ran in pure panic as their wooden homes collapsed into hot ash."Save us! The city is burning!" an old mother screamed from the lower streets, pulling her little children through the thic

The splitting marble altar released a heavy net of dark purple lightning that trapped Kael, Clara, and Lily inside the central vault chamber. The bright electrical lines snapped loudly, locking them inside a tight square of hot energy. Clara grabbed Lily and pulled her behind her back, her face turning pale as she felt the heat rising from the stone floorboards."Stay close to me, Lily!" Clara shouted over the buzzing sound of the electricity. She held her little sister tightly, her eyes wide with fear as she looked at the purple barriers surrounding them. "Kael, the paths are completely blocked! The energy is too strong for us to run through!"A sudden dark spatial tear cut right through the wall behind the altar, and Supreme Overlord Vane stepped out into the grand room. He held a massive black execution staff that buzzed with dark lightning, his eyes full of pure, unyielding malice. He looked down at Kael with a wicked, arrogant grin."You thought you could challenge my power, lowe

Ten thousand dark mages from the Doom-Realm Calamity Sect flooded the lower river passes, launching a brutal attack against the citadel's outer trenches. The ground shook hard as the first wave of unholy magic hit the log fences. Officer Jace ran toward the center of the base, his voice full of alarm as he saw the sky turn purple."The border lines are breaking apart!" Jace shouted to the guards on the watchtower, his hand tight around his spear. "The enemy is coming through the water lanes! Wake up the general and tell the vanguard riders to assemble right now!"The savage invaders burned the surrounding farming villages to the ground, trapping hundreds of innocent laborers in the black fire walls. Families ran from their wooden shacks as the heat destroyed their wheat fields. The smoke grew thick and dark, rolling into the valleys and blocking out the moonlight."My house is gone! Save my children!" an old mother screamed from the edge of the ditch, pulling her family through the mu

Vane mocked loudly, his voice echoing through the arches. "You played your clever tricks with our water lines, but you are still just insects in our trap.""You always talk too much when you have mages behind your back, Vane," Kael replied calmly, his voice steady. He did not pull his sword, keeping his broad shoulders relaxed despite the glowing restraints around his leather boots.The planetary gravity trap completely pressed down on the room, freezing Kael’s physical muscle joints in place. The unseen weight crushed the wooden tables nearby into flat splinters. The air became so thick that Lily began to choke in the back."I can't lift my lance, Kael!" Kira gasped out, her fingers locking tightly around the metal handle. "The weight is doubling every second! My shoulders feel like they are being buried under a mountain!""Keep your breath short and do not force your energy channels," Kael commanded her flatly, his golden eyes scanning the floorboards. He felt the heavy pressure gri
