Oscar stood his ground.Dark blue lightning coursed over his body, shielding his mind from the crushing presence of the fox.Even so, he could feel something pressing against his thoughts.Soft whispers.They slipped into his mind like silk, tempting him to surrender.To go to Velindra.To let himself be swallowed by a comforting illusion.He clenched his jaw.Then a hand slipped into his.Elizabeth's.Without a word, she stepped up beside him.Her face was pale, but her grip was steady.Warm.Real.The fog clouding Oscar's mind shattered instantly.He turned toward her.Elizabeth offered him a small smile."Don't lose."Just two words.Yet they were enough.The storm inside him settled.His thoughts became clear again.He squeezed her hand in return.Velindra watched the exchange.Something cracked behind her eyes.Her smile faded.The gentle obsession she had worn moments earlier hardened into something colder."I think I'm starting to hate you," she said quietly to Elizabeth.The a

Even after centuries, his body still recognized the presence of its master.The Storm Lord.Yet among everyone present—Only Elizabeth remained standing.Her knees trembled.Her chest tightened with every breath.Still, she never looked away from Oscar.Her eyes glistened with tears.And for the first time since arriving at Storm Mountain, a terrifying feeling gripped her heart.The fear of losing him.For a moment, the figure before Elizabeth no longer felt like the young man who had held her the night before.Not the Oscar who had blushed when she kissed him.Not the man who had promised to protect her.But something far beyond human reach.As if a true god had descended and taken possession of her lover’s body.Velindra stared at him, her cheeks flushed.Tears streamed down her face.Her entire body trembled with a desire she could no longer contain.“At last...” she whispered hoarsely. “Your true form.”She stepped forward.Her nine tails unfurled behind her like a dark blossom.P

The entire chamber immediately lowered their heads even further.No one dared look at her for long.Because she was the most feared being in the Shadow Realm after the emperor himself.His only daughter.Elyssara Vharzek.Vharzek looked down at her.For a brief moment, his gaze almost seemed gentle.“Today, you will travel to the human world.”Elyssara remained expressionless.“Find the Heir of Storms.”One of her eyes twitched slightly.The first sign of emotion she had shown.Curiosity.Vharzek continued.“Get close to him.”“Study him.”“And if possible...”A cold smile appeared on his lips.“Make him fall in love with you.”The entire hall froze.Even the dark lords could not conceal their shock.The order was so unexpected that several nearly lifted their heads in disbelief.But Elyssara simply bowed.“Yes, Father.”No hesitation.No questions.Only obedience.Absolute and unquestioning.Vharzek lifted her chin with a single finger.His golden eyes met her crimson ones.“Do not d

His hair darkened into a deep electric blue.Veins of radiant light spread beneath his skin like rivers of living energy.And when he spoke, the voice that emerged was no longer entirely his own.It carried another presence within it.Ancient.Majestic.Cold.“He touched what belongs to me.”Rajendra's jaw tightened.The consciousness of the Storm God had surfaced again.But this time, something was wrong.This wasn't the controlled awakening that had appeared during the battle against Velindra.This was rage.Pure, unrestrained rage.The divine power was responding to Oscar's own emotions.And if it continued unchecked, Oscar might lose himself completely.“Oscar!”Rajendra shouted, but the figure didn't even turn around.Oscar stood motionless, staring through the shattered remains of the crystal chamber.His gaze pierced the night.Past the mountains.Past the clouds.As though he could see across the world itself.Searching.Looking for Elyssara.Then he took a single step.And va

Balanced.For the first time...Oscar truly controlled the blood of the God of Thunder.Vharzek felt the change.For the first time, his smile disappeared.His golden eyes narrowed.His ancient instincts reached a single, undeniable conclusion.Danger.Oscar looked at him.His eyes were still a deep blue now—but with unmistakably human pupils.Calm.Fully aware.Then he spoke quietly."Now it's my turn."Lightning across the entire world answered his call.And for the first time in an age beyond memory...Even the Emperor of the Black Realm felt something he had long forgotten.Tension.The sky changed.It was no longer merely a battlefield divided between blue and black.The entire horizon filled with lightning moving in perfect order, like millions of dragons woven from living light, dancing in obedience to a single absolute will.Oscar's will.He floated silently in the air.The deep blue in his hair slowly faded back to black, though faint currents of light still drifted through i
