Chapter 52
The concrete station roof crumbled under the weight of giant claws. A creature standing five meters tall loomed before them a three headed wolf stripped of every scrap of skin. Each step shook the whole building hard enough to send chips of concrete raining down from the already cracked ceiling. Thick dust choked the air mixed with the stench of rotting flesh that burned the nose. The beast breathed slow and heavy and exhaled waves of heat that seared the floor until the concrete hissed like metal plunged into fire."What manner of creature is this," Axel hissed. He raised his black bone spear higher. His jaw went tight as he stared at the horror standing in their path. The power that had made him feel nearly invincible moments before now felt small and frail beneath the crushing weight of this monster’s presence.All three wolf heads moved independently. Pairs of burning red eyes watched him from separate directions as though each min

Black fog drifted into the station and was suddenly drawn straight into Axel’s wounds. It sealed the torn flesh shut in an instant and brought no pain at all. An unfamiliar warmth spread through his veins and traveled all the way from his chest to the tips of his fingers. Axel stood frozen in place. Wounds that had throbbed and burned only moments ago were fading away as though something invisible was rebuilding his body from the inside out. The damp air felt different when it filled his lungs. No longer sharp or harsh. It felt strangely calming yet in a way that made his chest tighten with unease."What is happening to your wounds," Rena asked softly.The sound of her voice made Axel turn fast. Rena was waking up in the shadowed corner of the platform. Her eyelids fluttered slowly then lifted fully open. Weak as she still was her gaze went straight to his chest where such terrible injuries had been only minutes before.Axel looked down. The gashes Henderson had left behind were barel

Axel hit the frozen asphalt hard and his senses snapped back to him at once. Yet when he opened his eyes he saw the Monas monument floating upside down overhead beneath a sky with no sun. His vision swam dark at the edges. Pain radiated up his spine and through his ribs catching his breath again and again. Only moments ago he had fought beneath a crumbling Jakarta sky and heard the roar of a dimensional storm and Henderson’s screams. Now silence met him. A silence so alien it felt like a hand closing tight around his throat."Rena," Axel called out sharp with fear as he forced himself up. His palms pressed into cracked pavement cold and hard as a gravestone. "Rena answer me."He pulled himself upright and scanned every direction. His heart turned to ice in his chest as he understood the terrible truth.They had fallen through the gate and landed in the Realm of Shadows.Jakarta remained yet it was not the Jakarta he knew.Skyscrapers stood in impossible shapes. Some hung inverted bene

"Let her go old man," Axel shouted hoarse as he wrenched his black bone spear free from the ground. The moment the blade lifted the only anchor holding them in place vanished in an instant. Axel and Rena were swept higher still toward the heart of the dimensional vortex raging directly above Monas. Wind howled in from every direction spinning their bodies without mercy. Shards of concrete iron and glass tore through the air all around them like jagged projectiles ready to cut through anything in their path.The vortex roared so loud it felt like a thousand voices piling one upon another inside his head. Axel’s skin burned raw where dimensional energy scraped and wore at him. Yet his fingers stayed locked tight around Rena’s hand as though he would never let go. Far below them Henderson still held fast his sacred chain driven deep into marble ruin while his left hand clamped around Rena’s ankle with crushing force enough to shatter bone."You shall not escape your destined end," Hender
Chapter 48
Without warning, Rena was torn from the ground and hurled skyward, pulled upward by the overwhelming suction of a swirling black vortex directly above the cracking National Monument. A cry tore from her throat as gravity lost its hold. Her long hair whipped wildly in the howling dimensional gale, while shards of concrete and jagged metal spun around her like ravenous beasts waiting to strike."Axel!" Rena screamed, her voice raw. She reached upward with all her strength, fingers trembling as she strained toward the only anchor she had left.The entire Monument grounds had become a ruin barely recognizable. The rift overhead warped gravity itself. Cars floated dozens of feet into the air. Trees were ripped root free from the earth. Marble slabs, steel girders, and building debris spun aimlessly beneath a violet sky tearing apart at the seams.Axel moved without hesitation. The instant his fingers closed around hers, he dr
Chapter 47
The asphalt along Jalan Sudirman split wide open, spewing sulfurous violet vapor that melted the tires of trapped vehicles where they sat beneath a sky turning ash-gray. Screams rose and merged with the howl of gale-force winds battering the remains of skyscrapers. Great fissures snaked down the road like living wounds spreading ever wider, while violet light pulsed deep within the earth in a slow, heavy rhythm exactly like a giant’s heartbeat."Hold fast to my arm, Rena," Axel called out as he caught her wrist. He gasped for breath, and every movement sent pain lancing through his chest as though pierced by a thousand needles.Rena tightened her grip as another violent tremor shook the ground beneath them. "The road ahead is completely gone," she replied, her voice sharp with fear as she pointed toward the overpass that had crumbled and collapsed. "If we keep this way, we will fall with it."Axel stared at the dan
