CHAPTER 1118
High on the dais, King’s dark smile vanished instantly. His red eyes twisted into a look of absolute, cold, psychotic fury."Disappointing..." King spat bitterly. He turned toward the massive holographic screen, raising his hand to command the guard. "Guard... kill the girl. Turn her to dust.""NOOOOOOOOO!" Clara shrieked at the top of her lungs, throwing her body forward! "NO! MY BABY! NOOOOO!"On the massive screen, the Crimson guard sneered, raising the dark Ash-Arrow to drive it straight into Nancy's neck.Suddenly!BZZZZZZZZT-CRACKLE!The holographic video feed violently stuttered! Heavy, blinding arcs of blue and gold spatial static tore across the screen, distorting the image!Over the audio speakers, a sharp, sudden, sickening THWACK echoed out, followed instantly by a terrified gasp from the guard that was cut short!BZZZZ-FLICKER-BLACK.The entire fifty-foot holographic screen went completely pitch-black!King froze on the steps. His brow furrowed in deep, sudden confusion a
CHAPTER 1118
"MOM!" Nancy's muffled cry echoed through the speaker system of the feed!Clara took a desperate step forward, her entire body shaking, her breath coming in ragged, terrified hitches. "NO! NO! LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS! LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE!""Ohh Clara..." Nathaniel mocked. "You have no idea how much I hate you, I even tried up with my enemy just to destroy you."King stepped down from the high concrete dais, walking slowly down the stone steps toward Clara. He reached into his coat pocket, pulling out a single, heavy obsidian Ash-Arrow, one of the ten arrows that had been brought to him from the harbor raid.With a casual, mocking flick of his wrist, King tossed the heavy arrow onto the dusty concrete floor right at Clara’s feet.CLANK-SLIDE."Look at you..." King mocked softly, his red eyes burning with absolute, sadistic pleasure as he stared into Clara's pale face. "'The Keeper'... pretending to be a soft, weeping mother. There was a time, Clara, when you were nothing more than a
CHAPTER 1117
Clara with the help of Julia figured out King's location which was a massive, iron-ribbed fortress that had been converted into King’s hideout.Inside the lead command vehicle, Clara sat quietly, sitting across from her, Commander Phyna adjusted her helmet, checking the power levels of four massive, sleek cannons mounted on the roofs of the heavy support trucks trailing behind them.Thomas and Dorian sat near the rear doors. Dorian was casually running a whetstone along the edge of his combat blade, while Thomas checked the heavy kinetic plates locked over his chest."We are approaching the outer perimeter breach," Phyna’s voice came sharp over the internal comms. "Remember... Nathaniel’s men are modified with King's Heir blood. They have enhanced speed, kinetic resistance, and increased sensory perception. Do not engage at close range unless necessary."Clara lifted her head, her dark eyes hollow and unblinking. "Leave the augmented lieutenants to me. You focus on securing the lower
CHAPTER 1116
"AGH!" the lieutenant shrieked, frantically trying to raise his rifle!Clara reached out with her bare right hand, grabbing the lieutenant by his throat! Her fingers crushed through his tactical Kevlar collar, lifting his two-hundred-pound body six feet into the air with a single arm!"You came to my friend's house..." Clara rasped, her voice dropping into a deep, demonic register that vibrated the very air around them. "...and you brought your dark fire."Clara squeezed her fist.CRUNCH-CRACK!The lieutenant’s neck bone snapped instantly. Clara casually tossed his lifeless body sideways through the wooden fence like a ragdoll.The remaining eleven Crimson fighters panicked, their hands shaking as they backed away into the apple trees!"SHE CAN'T BE KILLED! SHOOT HER! SHOOT HER!"Clara moved through the orchard like a whirlwind of devastation.She didn't use weapons. She used her bare hands. She swept through their ranks with terrifying, mechanical efficiency, shattering rifle frames
CHAPTER 1115
Clara dropped to her knees beside the old man. Her sharp, tactical mind calculated the terrifying math in a microsecond: the Ash-Arrow alchemy was moving at a rate of two inches per second. In less than four seconds, the dark fire would cross his knee joint, reach his artery, travel up to his heart, and erase his entire body into a pile of grey dust.There was no time for medical supplies. There was no time for an antidote. There was only one horrific, brutal choice to save his life.Clara reached into the pocket of her blazer, pulling out a heavy, clean cotton kitchen towel she had grabbed from the counter earlier.Without a word, Clara jammed the folded towel firmly into Harold’s open, screaming mouth!"Hold him, Thomas!" Clara commanded, her raspy voice cold, sharp, and absolute!Thomas didn't ask questions. He threw his massive arms around Harold’s shoulders and chest, pinning the old man firmly to the floorboards!Clara reached to her belt, drawing her heavy, ten-inch high-carbon
CHAPTER 1114
Harold looked at Clara."This is completely different from anything we faced fifteen years ago," Clara explained, her dark eyes hollow and grave. "He isn't using standard street mercenaries. He has found a way to share his own stolen Heir blood with Nathaniel’s captains. He is creating an army of mutated, super-powered horrors. And he has those Ash-Arrows. You cannot fight this with a hunting rifle, Harold."Harold looked into Clara's eyes. For thirty years, he had known Clara Lancaster first as a dangerous phantom, then as a secret ally, and finally as a mother who had sacrificed everything for her child. He saw the genuine, terrifying gravity reflecting in her gaze. He knew Clara never exaggerated a threat.Harold let out a long, shuddering sigh, his shoulders slumping in defeat."Alright..." Harold muttered softly, offering a weary, tired smile. "Alright, Clara. If you say it's that bad... I'll come with you. Just let me head upstairs to grab my winter coat and Martha’s framed phot
