Chapter 131
The smell of ancient sulfur struck Axel's nose the moment he stepped further down the corridor. The air in this place felt older and thicker, as if trapped for hundreds of years beneath layers of heavy stone, only to be released all at once when his presence disturbed the forbidden balance.Axel paused for a moment. Breathing suddenly felt agonizingly heavy. An invisible surge of energy filled every corner of the room, pressing against his chest from all sides until his lungs constricted.A low-frequency vibration echoed through the stone floor beneath his feet.Thump... thump...The sound traveled up his spine and slammed into his chest cavity like a giant hammer. Deep nausea welled up in his throat. Axel closed his eyes briefly, swallowing hard to force it back down. When he looked back up and swept his gaze forward, his entire body froze.At the far end of the vast room stood a giant black stone stele. Its surface was completely covered in carved characters he had never seen before
Chapter 130
The core of occult energy pulsed wildly in Axel's grasp, radiating waves of heat that scorched his palm. Before him, the final form of the Echoes flickered unstably. Its torn body struggled to piece itself back together, unwilling to vanish from this dimension."You... never..." whispered the distorted voice, raspy and echoing between the crumbling corridor walls.Axel did not let it finish the sentence. His jaw set tight, his breath rushing hot through his teeth. Without a moment's hesitation, he tightened his grip, channeling the last of his strength straight into the center of the core. Fine cracks began spreading across its dull surface.CRACK!The voice was cut short instantly. The energy core shattered into pieces, exploding into thousands of gray shards that immediately collapsed into fine ash. The final Echo rose briefly, then drifted apart and shattered, swept away by the dimensional wind like scattered smoke in the dark.A heavy silence descended upon the room. Only Axel's l
Chapter 129
A strange cold sensation stabbed straight into Axel's throat before his senses could even register the threat closing in. Before he could draw a breath or shift his footing, a greased metal grip slammed against his neck with lethal precision."You think you can run from the blood you've spilled, Hunter?" the whisper breathed directly into his ear, cold and smelling of stale copper.Mechanical fingers stained with black residue coiled around Axel's throat, cutting off his air instantly. With one brutal jerk, his body was lifted a few centimeters off the corridor floor. His eyes bulged, his chest heaving against pressure that threatened to snap his neck. The reek of blood mixed with burning oil flooded his senses, triggering a violent wave of nausea at the back of his throat.Axel forced his head up. Standing before him was a face he knew all too well, Captain Henderson. But this form was no longer fully human. The left half of his face had been replaced with jagged sheets of metal plat
Chapter 128
The scream grew louder, echoing sharply through the underground corridor as it narrowed further. The sound of a small child, filled with unbearable pain, crept through the metal walls surrounding Axel. Every meter he crossed made his chest tighten more.Axel's steps stopped short as the corridor ended in a bitterly cold, air conditioned room.Axel froze in place.Behind the thick glass wall separating the room, a girl about seven years old sat bound tightly to a metal chair. Her small body shook violently. Golden bolts of *Oracle Lightning* crackled wildly through thick cables jammed directly into both her arms. Every time a tongue of that lightning struck, her tiny body jolted upward a few centimeters before slamming back down onto the iron seat. Thin black smoke rose from her burning skin, releasing the stench of scorched flesh mixed with ozone that seeped out through the ventilation ducts.Axel's stomach churned with nausea. His breath caught in his throat."Rena." The name slipped
Chapter 127
CRACK!Axel's body slammed onto the marble floor of the old station with a deafening impact. Sharp fractures raced outward in every direction right beneath his back. Before his lungs could even draw a breath, the dull white surface beneath him began to melt, turning into a pool of mercury rippling wildly. The marble opened like a giant mouth, and within seconds Axel's body was sucked in, swallowed alive into the belly of the earth."Khgh!"The world flipped upside down at once. Airless wind roared sharply in his ears. The ragged cloak clinging to his body was shredded by the whirlwind of energy. Light, shadow, and fragments of alien scenery spun wildly around him, pressing on his skull until it felt ready to burst from the inside."Damn it. I have to hold on!"Axel clutched his head hard with both hands. The pain in his temples was so fierce his vision flickered red. Then a cold realization hit him harder than any pain. The *Aegis Spear* wasn't in his hand. The weapon had been left be
Chapter 126
"RENA!"Axel's scream broke through the thick darkness of the dimensional corridor, but the sound was swallowed at once by the howl of the wild chrono wind.Their fingers, only just locked tight together, were torn apart by force. The shadow chain, carved with ancient script, coiled around Rena's ankle like an iron grip of death, yanking her backward with a pull that could not be resisted. Rena's body was dragged fast across the raging currents of light, pulled toward the pitch black fissure gaping in the tunnel wall.The wind of time shrieked sharply against his ears. The corridor of light that had run so straight moments ago now shook violently, spinning and lurching under the dense energy pressure radiating from behind that crack of darkness."RENA!"Axel lunged forward without thinking. His chest went suddenly hollow, as if his heart had stopped beating the moment he saw the gap between them widen in a matter of milliseconds. His combat instincts, honed over dozens of battles, scr
