Chapter 72: The Legacy of the Silent Circle
Night descended upon the ruins of the Crystal Ice City, where fragments of ice floated in the air like snow that never fell, cloaking the frozen ground in a fragile silence.In the aftermath of the battle, Darian stood alone, his body still radiating the heat of Qi flames from the fight.Behind him, his team worked to clear the battlefield, gathering enemy weapons and ensuring no Wraiths or Dark Wanderers remained. Briana leaned against a cracked wall, her hand trembling as she tried to heal a wound on her shoulder, her energy nearly spent.Tony sat beside her, his breath shallow after enduring Valeria's direct assault. Lena stood nearby, her gaze hollow.She clutched her crystal sword, but her eyes glistened with unshed tears. She had just read Valeria's journal—her adoptive sister's final words. "I tried to fight Marcus… but the darkness was too strong. Lena, forgive me. Protect this world." The words shattered her heart.Kai appeared as a pale blue hologram beside Darian, his voic
Chapter 71: The End of the Mirror of Ice
The Eternal Mirror of Ice pulsed like the dying heart of a giant. Its cold blue light radiated a suffocating darkness that reached into the soul. Surrounding it stood five figures: Darian, Briana, Tony, Kenzo, and Lena.Above the crystalline city, the sky had turned a deep violet. Cracks of dark energy split the air — a sign that the Dark Wanderers had begun tearing a path into the real world.From within the mirror, shadows emerged. Tall, cloaked, their eyes burned like embers from hell. They didn’t speak with voices — they whispered directly into minds. Every word they uttered pierced reason, unraveled belief, and stirred the deepest fears from the heart.Darian stepped forward. Fire lit in his palms, but he could feel something deeper — a pull from the mirror itself. The onyx pendant around his neck wasn’t just absorbing Qi from the mirror... it was connected to it. And that connection was growing stronger, darker.His body trembled. His eyes shifted color, dimming, nearly losing c
Chapter 70: Frozen Legay
The icy air of the Snow Valley Sect bit deep into Darian's bones, turning every breath into a swirl of white mist that danced in the wind. Before the Shadow Team stood the towering crystal city — a majestic yet haunting monument carved from frozen light. Its spires reflected the gray sky like giant prisms, but their shimmer was not warm.The streets were paved with ice, filled with cloaked figures moving like puppets — pale faces, empty eyes, all under the silent control of patrolling ice cultivators wielding crystalline spears. At the heart of the city loomed the Eternal Ice Mirror, its blue pulse shaking the air, causing Darian's onyx pendant to hiss with heat.Far off in the distance, howls of ice wolves echoed from the crystalline forest — a warning that danger lurked around every corner."This place is beautiful," Tony muttered, his Qi dagger glowing faintly as he scanned the shadows, "but also horrifying. The people look like zombies who forgot how to live.""It's oppressive Qi,
Chapter 69: The Ice Gate and the Hidden Betrayal
Snow fell like a curtain over the ruins of the Nyxtherion temple, covering the ancient runes in a shimmering frost. The wind howled, carrying with it the distant cries of ice wolves lurking in the mist.Darian stood at the center of the circular stone platform, his onyx pendant pulsing like a living heartbeat, Nyxtherion Qi flowing from his dantian into the runes now glowing with icy blue light. A faint glow from the moon pierced through the canopy above, casting shifting shadows across the snow-covered ground.Lena, Briana, Kenzo, and Tony surrounded the platform, weapons drawn, eyes scanning the darkness for movement. Kai hovered in the air, flickering like a ghost, guiding them with a voice full of tension.[Darian, channel your Qi into the core of the pendant!] Kai urged. [The runes are almost aligned — but we've got a problem. Sensors detected movement. Wraiths… or worse. Hurry!]Darian nodded, sweat freezing on his forehead. He closed his eyes, pushing his Qi until the onyx pend
Chapter 68: Crisis at Headquarters
In the cold, small cave nestled deep in the snowy forest, the Shadow Team's campfire flickered weakly, struggling against the wind that sneaked through the cracks between the rocks. Outside, snow fell heavier now, burying their tracks — but faint whispers still drifted from the forest, like murmurs from unseen creatures.Darian sat cross-legged near the fire, his onyx pendant pulsing gently, reminding him of Valeria's vision and the Eternal Ice Mirror. Lena, Briana, Kenzo, and Tony sat around him, their faces worn with exhaustion yet alert.The ruins of the temple and the secret of the interdimensional portal to the Snow Valley Sect still lingered in their minds like a shadow they couldn't shake.Kai, in his flickering holographic form, hovered above the flames, scanning the runes he had recorded from the ruins.[I'm still decoding the portal runes], he said, his tone more serious than usual. [But this takes time. Your pendant, Darian, is the key — but we need to be careful.One wrong
Chapter 67: Snow Ruins and the Circle’s Secret
A small cave nestled deep in the snow-covered forest had become a temporary refuge for the Shadow Team. A tiny fire flickered at its centre, casting fragile warmth into the cold air.The firelight danced off the ice-coated stone walls, creating an illusion of comfort that barely held against the biting wind outside. Darian sat near the entrance, his onyx pendant pulsing softly, as if responding to the faint, lingering whispers still drifting from the forest beyond.Lena, Briana, Kenzo, and Tony rested around the fire, their faces streaked with sweat and melting snow, but also relief after the brutal battle against the Ice Wraiths. The totem they’d destroyed had stopped the creatures’ attack, yet tension still clung to the air like frost on skin.Kai, in his flickering holographic form, hovered above the flames, scanning data from his sensors. [Congratulations on your dramatic victory], he said, sarcasm dripping from every word.[But this wasn’t the end. My sensors detected another Qi
Chapter 66: The Frozen Forest and the Rising Wraiths
A thick fog clung to the snow-laden trees of the northern woods, draping the frozen pines like a tattered gray shroud. The wind whispered through the branches, carrying the sharp sting of ice and pine resin—but beneath it lurked something else: a hissing, almost like voices slithering between the snow-laden boughs. Darian’s team moved cautiously, their boots crunching against the frost-hardened earth, each step reinforced by the Qi humming beneath their soles. The morning sunlight barely pierced the mist and the dense canopy above, leaving the world bathed in a lifeless, ashen haze. Darian led the way, the onyx pendant around his neck pulsing faintly, as though sensing something hidden in the fog. His Piercing Sight flickered intermittently, scanning for unseen threats. Beside him, Lena gripped the hilt of her Flame Sword, her jaw tight but her resolve unshaken. Briana and Kenzo flanked the group, weapons at the ready, while Tony—lagging slightly—muttered under his breath about th
Chapter 65: The Cracks in Trust
The crystal lamps in the Kardhana Sect headquarters' strategy room flickered slowly, casting dancing shadows on the stone walls adorned with ancient carvings.The holographic map projected by Kai floated in the center of the room, displaying the northern region of the Metropolis Imperium — a vast expanse of icy mountains glittering like crystals under the moonlight. A blinking red dot in the heart of the region indicated an unusual surge of Qi, its source most likely the Snow Valley School.The atmosphere in the room was tense, not only because of the threat indicated by the map, but also because of the looks of suspicion cast between the members of the Shadow Squad.Darian stood in front of the map, his hands resting on the stone table, his eyes narrowed as he studied the holographic lines. The onyx necklace on his neck still pulsed faintly, reminding him of Liora’s whispers in the lake that morning.However, he pushed the doubts to the corner of his mind, focusing on the task at han
Chapter 64: Shadows Within the Soul
A veil of morning mist cloaked the spiritual lake behind the Kardhana Sect's temple, blurring the boundary between water and sky into a seamless expanse of gray.The sun's faint light struggled to pierce the heavy clouds, casting only a dim shimmer across the lake's tranquil surface. At its edge, Darian sat atop a slick boulder, his gaze fixed on the onyx pendant dangling from his neck.The black stone pulsed faintly, like a heartbeat whispering in silence, each throb carrying a voice that grew ever clearer."Beware, my child… darkness lies not only beyond you, but within." His mother Liora's voice, soft yet laden with sorrow, seemed to rise from the lake's depths. Darian clenched his fists, striving to calm his racing thoughts, but her words echoed relentlessly, unearthing doubts he had long tried to bury.The power of Nyxtherion coursing through his veins had enabled him to crush the Nocturne Imperium, save Lena from betrayal, and unite the Shadow Brigade.Yet, each time he wielded
