Chapter 353
When Everett, Silas, and Lyra walked in, the healers gasped in fear. Many of them stepped back.An old man walked forward. He had kind, tired brown eyes. He was Elder Thomas, the leader of the free healers."Lyra," Elder Thomas breathed. He smiled, but it was a sad smile. "You are alive. We heard the System took you into the Cathedral.""Everett broke the glass," Lyra said. She walked forward and hugged the old man. "He pulled me out."Elder Thomas looked at Everett. He looked at the heavy chain-sword and the blood on Everett’s dark cloak. The old healer frowned. "You brought violence into our sanctuary, Lyra. We are men and women of peace. We do not mix with warriors.""Peace is dead, Thomas," Lyra said softly. She turned to face the hundreds of healers in the cave. "The Sovereign Council does not care about our peace. They do not care about our neutrality."A young woman stepped forward. She held a little girl by the hand. "They came to my house yesterday, Lyra. Sovereign guards. Th

The cold air in the underground bunker smelled like blood and old metal. Lyra opened her silver eyes slowly. Her head pounded with terrible pain. The bright light from Rae’s computer screens hurt her eyes. She tried to sit up, but her body felt as heavy as a stone."Do not move," a deep, rough voice said.Lyra turned her head. Everett was sitting in a metal chair right next to her small cot. He looked exhausted. His dark cloak was torn. His face was covered in dirt and dried blood. But his green eyes were focused entirely on her. He was holding her hand very gently, like she was made of fragile glass."Everett," Lyra whispered. Her voice was dry and weak. "You saved me. The machine... it was pulling me into the dark.""I broke the glass," Everett said softly. He squeezed her hand. "I promised I would never let you go. Silas and I brought you back."Lyra looked around the bunker. Silas was asleep on the floor, holding his sniper rifle tightly to his chest. Rae was typing quietly at h

"Too slow," Everett growled. He reached over his shoulder and pulled out his heavy chain-sword. He pressed the red button. VRRRRRRRR! The engine screamed loudly.Everett drove the spinning teeth of the sword directly into the center of the solid steel door. Sparks exploded like a fireworks show. The heavy metal screeched. Everett pushed with all his remaining strength, driving the blade deep into the locking mechanism.With a loud BANG, the heavy steel door popped open.Everett kicked it wide open and rushed inside.The Prime Extraction Chamber was totally different from the storage room. It was perfectly clean, bright white, and smelled like ozone.In the center of the room was a single, raised platform. On the platform was a medical bed made of clear glass.Lyra was strapped to the bed.She was unconscious. She wore a thin white hospital gown. Heavy metal cuffs locked her wrists and ankles to the glass bed. Above her, a massive, terrifying machine hung from the ceiling. It had do

"They steal them from the poor," Everett realized. His voice was dark and heavy."Yes," Rae cried. "If a poor peasant is born with a tiny spark of natural speed, or natural strength, the nobles send hunters to capture them. They bring them to the Gene Vault. They lock them in machines. And they strip the magic right out of their blood to build their perfect noble babies.""And Lyra," Everett whispered. He stepped closer to the screen."Lyra has the Blood Healer trait," Rae said, wiping her tears. "It is the rarest magic in the world. It can bypass the System's death rules. The rulers are preparing to upload their minds for the Ascension Protocol in less than two days. But uploading is dangerous. The data transfer can destroy their minds."Rae looked into Everett's eyes."They want Lyra’s healing template," Rae said. "They intercepted her body. They are holding her in the Gene Vault. They are trying to extract her red magic so they can inject it into their own code. They want to use he
Chapter 349
The Cathedral of Light was totally silent. The beautiful stained-glass windows were broken. Colorful pieces of glass covered the white marble floor like fallen leaves.Everett knelt in the center of the room. His knees rested on the cracked marble. His right hand was stretched out, pointing toward the giant golden altar. His hand was empty.Lyra was gone.She had been pulled into the dark blue vortex. She had been swallowed by the System Core. The woman who had saved his life, the woman who had burned her own magic to heal his poisoned heart, was trapped inside the cold machine.Everett stared at his empty hand. He did not blink. He did not breathe. He felt a massive, freezing hole open inside his chest. The pain of the green poison was nothing compared to this. This pain was absolute. It was a darkness that ate the light."Everett!" a loud voice yelled.Heavy boots ran across the broken glass. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.It was Silas. The sniper had climbed down from the silver tower out
Chapter 348
The impact was devastating. Kaelen’s new, multiplied strength was massive. The force threw Everett backward. Everett slid across the polished marble floor, his boots scraping loudly. The heat from the fire swords scorched his face.Everett gritted his teeth. He swung his heavy chain-sword at Kaelen’s ribs.The spinning metal teeth hit Kaelen’s gray 'Stone Flesh'. But this time, it did not cut through. Because Kaelen had merged with a second house, his defensive stats had doubled. The chain-sword sparked violently, but it bounced right off the rock-hard skin."You cannot hurt me!" Kaelen roared. He swung his fire sword again, slicing deeply into Everett’s left leg.Everett cried out in pain. He dropped to one knee. Blood poured from the burn wound."Everett is down!" a noble yelled from the crowd. The rich lords and ladies began to cheer. "Kill him, Lord Kaelen! Kill the anomaly!"Everett breathed heavily. He looked up at Kaelen. The noble was a literal monster of fire and stone."Use
