The forest was too still. Too unnaturally silent. No crickets chirped, no owls hooted, no leaves whispered in the night wind. The quiet pressed in on Kael like a heavy blanket, suffocating, warning. His instincts screamed that something was wrong.

He tightened his grip around Elara as he carried her across the threshold of the crude shelter they had built from pine branches and stone. Her head lolled against his chest, her long lashes brushing her pale cheeks, her breath shallow but steady. She was alive, but every part of her body trembled with exhaustion. The battle at the altar had drained her to the marrow, and though she had shattered the cursed bond, Kael knew victory was far from secure.

He knelt and lowered her onto the bed of furs they had scavenged earlier. His hand lingered at her cheek, brushing a damp strand of golden brown hair from her face. Even in her unconscious state, she leaned into his touch, instinctively seeking him. A lump rose in his throat, tightening painful

  • 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

  • Chapter 170 – The Shadow’s Whisper

    The night pressed heavy upon the stronghold, the kind of silence that carried both exhaustion and dread. The wounded moaned softly in the infirmary halls, the smiths’ hammers rang faintly as they worked through darkness, and the smell of smoke lingered in the cold air. Victory had been claimed, but peace was nowhere to be found.Kael did not sleep. He stood on the battlements where the moonlight stretched across the battlefield, where shadows clung to the ruined earth like scars. His armor had been stripped away, leaving only the thin linen tunic beneath, damp with sweat. His body begged for rest, but the void coursing in his veins would not let him yield.The memory of those violet eyes burned inside him. They had called to something in him, something deeper than flesh or bone, as though the abyss itself had recognized him.A whisper slid across the wind.Kael.He spun, his hand flying to the hilt of his blade, but the walls were empty. The torches sputtered against the stone, and sh

  • Chapter 169 – The Weight of Victory

    The battlefield was silent, save for the crackle of fires and the groans of the dying. Smoke hung heavy in the air, stinging the eyes and choking the lungs. The war beast’s corpse smoldered at the center of the carnage, a mountain of blackened flesh and shattered armor, its tusks jutting from the earth like broken towers.Kael stood beside it, his sword buried in the mud at his side, his body trembling from exhaustion. His armor was cracked and scorched, his cloak in tatters, his veins still pulsing with the void’s sinister rhythm. The soldiers who surrounded him did not see the tremor in his hands or the shadow flickering in his gaze. They saw only their champion the man who had felled the monster no army could slay.“Kael! Kael! Kael!” The chant rolled across the battlefield, a tide of voices swelling with hope and awe.Liora forced her way through the throng of men, her gauntlet gripping his shoulder. “You’re hurt.”He shook his head, his voice rough. “Not enough to matter.”But sh

  • Chapter 168 – Clash of Shadows

    Kael’s boots slammed against the war beast’s armored hide as he leapt from the battlements, his blade blazing with void fire. The monster roared, swinging its massive head, and Kael was hurled through the air. He twisted mid flight, landing hard on the churned mud below, his body rattling from the impact. Soldiers scattered around him, their screams lost in the clash of steel and the thunder of the beast’s chains dragging across the ground.The creature loomed above him, towering higher than any siege engine. Plates of blackened iron covered its shoulders, and its tusks curved like scythes, dripping with ichor that sizzled against the earth. Its eyes glowed the same unnatural violet as the power surging inside Kael, and when it roared again, the sound rattled through his bones.The enemy soldiers cheered, emboldened by the beast’s arrival. Their commanders shouted for the charge, and a tide of armored warriors surged forward, the ground trembling beneath their boots.Kael gritted his
