CHAPTER 24
The Grand Archives of the Golden Knights Academy smelled of ancient parchment, dust, and latent magical energy. Massive crystal chandeliers floated near the vaulted ceilings, casting a soft, blue luminescence over the towering rows of forbidden codices.Squad Seven sat around a heavy oak table, entirely ignoring their assigned coursework.Quinn traced the scarred wood of the table, his right arm feeling perfectly whole thanks to Luna’s brutal cellular acceleration. Beside him, Bell was attempting to eat the leather binding of a history textbook."The Vanguard is mobilizing for a sweep of the Outer Wastes," Luna said, slamming a classified military dossier onto the table. Her icy blue eyes darted across the maps. "If the Cult of the Abyss operates from a spatial pocket, standard tracking magic is useless. I need to understand spatial harmonics to find the portal they dragged my brother through."Darius leaned back in his chair, his boots resting casually on the priceless oak table. He
CHAPTER 23
THE NEXT DAYThe clash of wooden training blades echoed like thunder across the Academy’s primary sparring grounds.Quinn ducked under a lethal, horizontal slash, feeling the sharp sting of compressed wind mana slice a few strands of his hair. He pivoted on his heel, channeling his dark lightning into his calves, and launched a devastating thrust aimed directly at Darius’s chest."Too slow!" Darius laughed, his emerald eyes flashing.Darius didn't block. He twisted his torso with impossible flexibility, letting Quinn’s blade slide past him by a fraction of an inch. In the same fluid motion, Darius brought the pommel of his sword down toward Quinn’s collarbone."Spatial step," Quinn muttered.A tiny black hole opened above Quinn's shoulder. Bell, sitting cross-legged on the arena wall fifty feet away, had lazily snapped her fingers. Darius’s pommel vanished into the spatial tear, reappearing three feet to the left and striking nothing but empty air.Quinn used the opening to sweep Dari
CHAPTER 22
The sprawling campus of the Golden Knights Academy was a fortress disguised as a palace.Quinn walked down the grand colonnade, the marble pillars casting long, geometric shadows across the pristine courtyard. After Instructor Vance’s brutal morning drills, the cadets had been given a brief reprieve to collect their requisitions."Master, this place is too big," Bell mumbled, dragging her feet. "And there are too many stairs. Why do humans build things that require so much walking?""It builds endurance, Bell," Quinn replied, rolling his shoulder to ease the lingering ache from the Siphon’s anti-mana burns. "Keep your aura suppressed. We don’t need any more attention today."As they rounded the corner toward the western training grounds, the ambient mana in the air suddenly skyrocketed. The pressure was so dense it felt like walking into a wall of water.Quinn stopped, his eyes widening.In the center of a sunken, magically reinforced sparring ring, two upperclassmen were fighting. Bu
CHAPTER 21
The night before the first official day of classes, Quinn’s newly assigned cadet dormitory was dead silent.The room was spartan: two narrow beds, a wooden desk, and a stone footlocker. Moonlight filtered through the single iron-barred window, casting long shadows across the floor. Quinn lay on his back, his breathing deep and even, his exhausted body finally succumbing to sleep.But Bell was awake.The small, barefoot girl sat cross-legged on the opposite bed, her dark eyes entirely devoid of sleep. She was staring at the heavy, pitch-black stone resting on the mattress beside her.The Origin Beast Egg.During the chaos at the Colosseum, Quinn had kept the egg safely stored in a specialized, mana-sealed pouch. But the Siphon’s anti-mana field had been absolute. The rotting, abyssal energy had saturated everything-including Quinn’s clothes, his skin, and the pouch itself.Bell leaned closer.A microscopic fissure had formed on the egg’s calcified shell. From Quinn’s discarded combat t
CHAPTER 20
"Don't drop your guard, kid!" Asterion roared, decapitating a screeching spider-demon with a wide sweep of his golden broadsword. "They are trying to flank the civilian perimeter!""I’m not dropping anything!" Quinn shouted back. He lunged forward, driving a lightning-infused fist into the chest of a masked cultist. The kinetic shockwave shattered the cultist’s ribs, sending him flying into the crumbling arena wall.Above them, the sky literally tore apart.Guildmaster Sterling and the demonic mutation of High Inquisitor Malphas clashed in a terrifying display of Calamity-tier power. Heaven’s Judgment lightning struck against the Abyssal anti-mana, creating shockwaves that cracked the Colosseum's foundation."You cannot save them, Sterling!" Malphas’s demonic, dual-toned voice vibrated through the bedrock. His massive, bat-like wings beat the air, deflecting a barrage of lightning spears. "The Vanguard is breaking!"Sterling coughed up blood, his Mythic Griffin struggling to stay airb
CHAPTER 19
The Colosseum walls began to crumble. The magical projection screens shattered, raining glass down on the screaming crowds. The fifty thousand spectators scrambled in absolute panic as the anti-mana field surged upward, incinerating the stadium’s protective wards in an instant.From the flaming chasm beneath the arena, a sound echoed-a collective, guttural roar of a million starving demons.Quinn stood paralyzed at the edge of the abyss, the dark lightning flickering out around his fists. The ground beneath the Colosseum did not just split; it screamed.A jagged chasm bisected the pristine white sand, venting geysers of black, sulfurous flames. Above, the fifty thousand spectators scrambled in absolute terror, clogging the exit tunnels. But escape was already impossible.From the four cardinal points of the stadium, massive pillars of purple anti-mana shot into the sky, connecting at the apex to form a suffocating, impenetrable dome."A spatial lock!" a mage in the VIP box shrieked,
