Chapter 152: Coffin Smile
"Hey, Shingen, long time no see," Kael said with deliberate ease, as though he were greeting an old academy acquaintance instead of a man wrapped in secrets thick enough to choke a cathedral. He chose the moment carefully, because timing in social warfare was as important as mana alignment in spellcasting. Pressure applied at the wrong second fizzled; pressure applied at the right second cracked stone. "...Indeed," Shingen replied in thaLatest Chapter
C210 — Dragon Threads
C210 — Dragon Threads[Kael’s POV]453 percent… 459 percent… 460 percent. Each number blinked like a cruel heartbeat across his vision as Kael exhaled, the sound rasping with exhaustion, tension, and the faint trace of disbelief that such an endeavor could even be possible. The so-called healing had stretched him beyond the limits of patience and skill, demanding precision that bordered on the absurd. The deeper he delved, the more the clots resisted, as if they had developed some kind of sentient will to stubbornly cling to the dragon’s corrupted flesh. Each one was a knot in the universe, a miniature rebellion against the very notion of repair. Sweat dripped into his eyes, mingling with the residual mana sparks dancing across his palms, leaving him momentarily blinded and trembling, but finally, finally, it was done.The dragon in its human-shaped form sprawled across the cold stone, chest rising and falling in slow, measured breaths, the air around it t
C209 Krear’s Awakening
C209 Krear’s Awakening C209 Krear’s Awakening Kael’s gaze locked onto the strongest among the drakes assembled before him, his eyes narrowing with the kind of resolute intensity that only comes from knowing exactly what he wants and refusing to be denied. He extended his hand, pointing directly at the imposing creature, and spoke with a tone that was calm but threaded with unwavering command, “Take me with you.” For a moment, hesitation rippled across the group, a subtle but perceptible shiver of uncertainty that passed from one drake to another. Their eyes flickered nervously, glancing between each other as if silently debating whether to obey or flee. Yet when they turned back to Kael, the tension in their posture melted into reluctant acceptance. A collective exhale seemed to pass through the drakes, a silent acknowledgment of the inevitability of his will. “Very well…” the strongest drake rumble
C208: Judgment
C208: JudgmentThe colors around Kael shivered, twisting as if the air itself were liquid, and then finally, with a snap of clarity that struck his senses like the cold edge of a blade, the world solidified into something that looked like reality—yet, simultaneously, not. His eyes widened instinctively as they scanned the scene, taking in jagged mountains that rose like broken teeth from the earth, their shadows stretching impossibly long, brushing against forests so dense their roots and foliage merged into a single, pulsating mass. It was reminiscent of the landscapes he had first encountered upon arriving in the Murim world, yet something in its arrangement was… off. The air smelled faintly of ozone and scorched metal, hints of strange machinery littered among the underbrush, rusted and enigmatic, like relics of a civilization long lost yet impossibly alive in the hum of residual energy.He flexed his wings experimentally, feeling the lift of his muscles and the
C207 — Trial of the Shifting Ages
C207 — Trial of the Shifting AgesRyan’s eyes narrowed as a chill ran down his spine, the faint hum of Dioki thrumming in the air like an invisible heartbeat. “For both our sakes,” he muttered under his breath, his fingers flexing ever so slightly, “I hope you’re secured in that spatial storage of yours.” The words barely left his mouth before reality itself seemed to warp, a tremor of arcane energy passing over him, signaling the sudden materialization of Anna before him. She appeared as if frozen in time, her body rigid, eyes wide but unblinking, caught between life and the unseen currents of Dioki that danced faintly around her like delicate threads of silver light.Moments later, she drew a hesitant breath, the faint rise and fall of her chest the first sign that she had returned fully to the realm of the living. Small, almost imperceptible twitches rippled through her fingers and toes, and a soft shiver traveled up her spine. Ryan watched intently, every nerve
C206 — Haloed Retribution
C206 — Haloed RetributionThe instant Kael's words reverberated through the space, the being that had long since shed any remnants of its former form erupted into action. It moved with a primal ferocity, its body a grotesque mockery of what it once had been, twisted now into something that teetered on the edge of monstrosity. Every movement it made carried with it an air of lethal intent, an instinctive intelligence that had evolved purely for killing, for destruction, for the raw, unrefined necessity of survival.Despite the chaos of its appearance, its movements were not without method, its attacks calculated with a precision that suggested some fragment of reasoning still lingered beneath the monstrous veneer. It struck fast, its motions fluid, and the danger it radiated was immediate and absolute. One strike could annihilate an unprepared target, and for Kael, whose essence remained disembodied, fragile, and confined within the halo, the stakes were infinitely higher. A single suc
C205: Frozen Puppetry
C205: Frozen PuppetryKael’s eyes widened as he observed Lapis moving with impossible speed, opening and closing his mouth in a sequence that sent ripples of mana spiraling outward, the energy curling and snapping around him like a storm of silver lightning contained within a glass dome. The force radiated through the city, sweeping across streets, buildings, and alleys with a violence that would have shattered stone, yet curiously, a few areas remained untouched, as if invisible hands had painted shields across them with meticulous precision. Kael instinctively infused Dioki into his ears, reinforcing them against the deafening roar of that omnipresent energy, each pulse vibrating against his eardrums like the beating of a colossal, unseen heart.He blinked as realization struck him: the metro station he had exited just minutes ago was completely intact, unscathed, the air around it shimmering faintly with residual mana like a barrier of holy intention. His gaze s
