The growls multiplied, echoing through the trees until the entire forest seemed to tremble with them. Crimson eyes glowed in the shadows, circling closer, their eerie light painting the clearing in an ominous red haze.

Seraphina crouched low, her body forming a shield over Kael’s half conscious form. Every muscle in her body screamed with exhaustion, her arms trembling from the battle, the fall, and the river’s merciless pull. But the fire in her chest, the bond that tethered her soul to Kael’s, burned hotter than her fatigue.

She would not let them take him.

Kael stirred weakly beneath her, his fingers twitching against the dirt. His chest rose and fell in shallow breaths, his strength still too fragile to summon the Alpha he truly was. His lips parted as though to speak, but only a hoarse whisper escaped.

“Run…”

Seraphina’s heart clenched. He wanted her to leave him. To save herself.

Fury flared in her chest.

“No,” she growled, her voice rough with defiance. “I am not l

  • Chapter 176: Shadows of the First Betrayal

    The air above the Void Fortress rippled like a storm waiting to break. Aether crackled in jagged arcs, painting the sky in violent streaks of violet and silver. Inside the heart of the fortress, the council chamber was a battlefield of whispers, accusations, and broken trust.Kael stood at the center of it all, his cloak torn and his blade still humming with residual energy from the Riftborn General he had slain only hours before. His breathing was uneven, but his eyes burned with the fire of someone who refused to bow, even under the crushing weight of a thousand unseen expectations.“You brought this war upon us,” spat Lord Veridus, his voice sharp enough to slice through the chaotic hum of the chamber. His armor gleamed with sanctified light, but there was something ugly in the way his gaze lingered on Kael, as though every word was a personal attack.Kael’s lips twisted into a humorless smile. “I didn’t summon the Rift. I didn’t twist the laws of creation until they screamed. Whoe

  • Chapter 175 – The Fractured Crown

    The sun bled through the haze of smoke that still clung to the battlefield. Its rays fell upon shattered armor, twisted banners, and the silent rows of the dead. The cries of carrion birds echoed overhead, circling like dark omens, while the survivors moved with the sluggish weight of exhaustion. The ground was soaked, not only with blood but with the betrayal that had struck harder than any blade from the Rift.Kael stood before the remnants of the Serpent Crown’s forces, the surviving traitors dragged forward in chains. Their leader, the commander he had bested in battle, knelt before him, bound and broken, yet his gaze burned with defiance. His black armor was cracked, his face bloodied, but his tongue was as sharp as ever.“You think this is victory,” the man rasped, his voice thick with scorn. “But what have you truly won? You killed shadows, then turned upon your own. The world will see weakness in this. The crown you forge from their loyalty will crumble before it hardens.”The

  • Chapter 174 – The Price of Dawn

    The battlefield was quiet, too quiet for what had just unfolded. Where moments ago screams and the clash of steel had filled the air, now there was only the whisper of wind carrying the stench of blood and smoke. The Rift was gone, but the scars it left behind carved deep into the earth and into every soul who had fought upon it.Kael stood in the center of the silence, his sword still raised, its blade dripping not with blood but with the faint glow of divine light. His chest heaved, each breath sharp, as though the weight of the world still pressed against him. The victory had come, yes, but it was not without a price.Bodies littered the ground, soldiers from every clan, their lifeless eyes staring at the new dawn they would never see. The survivors staggered to their knees, some weeping, some lifting their blades weakly to honor the fallen. Kael’s gaze swept over them, his heart heavy. This was what triumph cost. This was the truth of war.Seraphina stumbled forward, her armor cra

  • Chapter 173 – Shattered Crowns

    The silence in the war council chamber was heavier than steel. Every leader from the allied clans sat around the massive round table carved from obsidian, their eyes tracing the maps sprawled across its surface. Borders marked in blood red ink, enemy positions shaded in charcoal, and the jagged line of the Void Rift cut through the parchment like a scar that refused to heal.Kael stood at the head of the table, his hands braced against the wood. His eyes burned with the weight of responsibility, but also with a determination that would not falter. Seraphina sat beside him, her gaze unwavering as her fingers clenched the pendant at her throat. It was the last relic of her mother, now infused with a fragment of divine light she had risked everything to claim.“We strike at dawn,” Kael said at last, his voice deep and commanding. “The Void has strengthened its hold on the Eastern Divide. If we wait longer, the corruption will spill further, swallowing the forests and poisoning the rivers

  • Chapter 172: The Void’s Final Gambit

    The battlefield stretched endlessly, a horizon painted in fire and shadow. The ruins of kingdoms lay beneath the feet of titans, every breath of the wind carrying the wails of the fallen. Above, rifts tore across the skies, spilling streams of chaotic energy that warped the very fabric of existence. The Void was unraveling, and with it, the fate of all realms trembledErevan stood at the heart of it all, his body battered yet unbroken, his aura blazing with the ferocity of one who had nothing left to lose. The System pulsed within him, the runes etched across his soul glowing like brands of defiance. Around him, allies and enemies alike clashed in a storm of blood and power, each strike echoing like thunder, each scream swallowed by the chaos. But his eyes remained locked on the colossal figure ahead the Void SovereignThe Sovereign loomed like a nightmare given flesh, its form shifting between shapes that defied mortal comprehension. Towers of blackened bone, rivers of crimson flame,

  • Chapter 171 – Ascension into the Abyss

    The battlefield reeked of ash, blood, and burning marrow. Entire cities lay crumbled like broken teeth jutting from the blackened earth, their ruins illuminated by the glow of fractured skies. The rift above pulsed in unnatural colors, vomiting tendrils of Void energy that lashed like serpents across the heavens. Armies clashed below, thousands screaming, dying, clawing at one another in desperation, their blades clattering against flesh and bone. Yet in the eye of this storm, Kael stood motionless, his presence more terrifying than the destruction itself.His skin cracked with glowing fissures, veins pulsing black and violet like molten rivers coursing beneath. The Void System’s whisper crawled into his skull, a thousand overlapping voices, urging, demanding, devouring. Every beat of his heart echoed like thunder in his ears. Every breath felt like inhaling galaxies and exhaling storms.You are not Kael anymore, the voice murmured, soft yet thunderous. You are the convergence. You ar
