Chapter 358
The dark tunnel under Apex City was cold and smelled like old dirt. Everett, Silas, and Lyra walked in total silence. The only sound was the heavy thud of Everett’s boots and his slow, rough breathing. Every step was a battle. His ribs were broken. His left arm was badly burned. The green poison from the silent assassin had permanently deleted twenty percent of his maximum stats.But he did not stop. He kept walking. He was moving toward the center of the capital. He was walking into the fire."Everett," Rae’s voice crackled softly in the small radio earpiece. "Are you there? Can you hear me?"Everett pressed a finger to his ear. "I hear you, Rae. We are still in the old maintenance tunnels. We are getting close to the surface.""Listen to me," Rae said. Her voice was shaking with excitement. She was typing very fast back in the underground bunker. "I have been studying the data from Bloodline Hub One. I was looking at how you destroyed the giant golden crystal.""I smashed it with

Silas did not throw them at the clone. He turned around and threw the explosives directly at the two thinnest, most cracked stone pillars holding up the center of the cave roof."Fire in the hole!" Silas roared. He grabbed a small detonator from his belt.The clone realized what was happening. Its golden eyes went wide. "No!"The clone lunged forward, trying to slice Silas in half before he could push the button.Silas slammed his thumb down on the red button.BOOOOOOOOOOOM!The explosion in the enclosed underground cave was absolutely deafening. It ruptured eardrums. It blew a shockwave of pure fire and pressure across the room.The two stone pillars shattered into a million pieces.Without the pillars, the massive, heavy roof of the catacombs had nothing to hold it up.A terrible, deep groan echoed through the earth. It sounded like the world was breaking in half."Run!" Everett yelled. He ignored the agonizing pain in his broken ribs. He pushed himself off the floor, grabbed Lyra a

Speaker Rho turned around. His face was twisted with pure, selfish evil."Unless there is more System memory available for me," Speaker Rho said coldly. "Every noble house has a Bloodline Node. It is a piece of the ancient Relic. It gives them their power. If I kill the Duke of Malcor and steal his Bloodline Node, my own Authority will double. My firewall will become unbreakable. I will survive the upload, even if the rest of the world burns."The Chief General took a step back in shock. "My Lord! You want to attack House Malcor? But they are our allies! The Sovereign Council has ruled together for years!""There are no allies anymore!" Speaker Rho roared. "There is only survival! The System rewards the strong! The System absorbs the dead!"Speaker Rho drew his massive, glowing purple sword."Gather every Paladin in our sector!" Speaker Rho commanded. "We march on the Malcor Estate right now! Kill every guard. Kill the Duke. Kill his ten-year-old son. Bring me their golden rings! Brin
Chapter 355
The massive, roaring sword of golden fire swung down from the ceiling of the dark cave.It moved so fast it looked like a streak of lightning. It was aimed directly at Everett’s head.Everett did not have time to think. He only had time to react. He raised his heavy chain-sword with both of his scarred hands.CLANG!The impact was louder than a bomb. The entire underground cave shook violently. Dust and large rocks fell from the ceiling.The force of the blow pushed Everett down. His heavy boots cracked the solid stone floor beneath him. He sank two inches into the rock. His arms trembled wildly. His muscles burned with a terrible, screaming pain.Everett stared through the sparks. He was looking directly into his own face.The clone, Project Zero, stood over him. The clone’s body was a perfect, flawless copy of Everett. It had the same broad shoulders. It had the same strong jaw. But the clone had no scars. It had no dirt on its skin. It was perfectly clean, glowing with raw, unnat

Lord Vane laughed. "A healer? What are you going to do, put a bandage on me? You have no stats, girl. Your magic cannot hurt me. You are useless in a fight.""You are right," Lyra said softly. "My magic cannot hurt you."Lyra closed her eyes. She took a deep breath. She reached deep into her soul, into the very core of her being.She did not pull out the dangerous red blood magic. She pulled out the pure, clean, beautiful blue light of her true healing power.Her hands began to glow.The light was not a small spark. It was brilliant. It was blinding. It was the pure essence of life itself."But my magic can reject you," Lyra said.Lyra raised her glowing blue hands. She pushed the light outward, not as a fireball, but as a solid wave of pure life energy.The blue light washed over Lord Vane and the fifty Sovereign guards.Lord Vane gasped. The guards stumbled backward. It did not burn their skin. It did not break their bones. But it did something far more terrifying to them.The heal

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
