Chapter 147
Adam stared down through the dusty metal grate. In the dark basement, Kael slowly raised the silver chalice of blood magic to his lips. Adam had to make a choice. He could not jump down and reveal his true power to the whole school. But he could not let his best friend become a mindless slave. Adam’s hollow mind calculated the perfect, silent angle. He pointed his pale index finger through the tiny holes of the vent. He did not summon dark magic. He used kinetic manipulation. He focused a microscopic, invisible pulse of pure physical force. The invisible kinetic pulse shot across the room. It hit the bottom of the silver chalice right before it touched Kael’s lips. The heavy silver cup violently jerked upward. It flew out of Kael’s trembling hands. It hit the stone wall and crashed to the floor. The thick, glowing red blood magic spilled everywhere, soaking into the dirty dirt. Kael gasped in shock. He stumbled backward, his hands shaking wildly. "I... I am so sorry!" Kael crie
Chapter 146
The dark bedroom at the top of the North Tower was silent. Elias, the tall boy in the dark blue uniform, smiled his polite, evil smile. He held the glass vial filled with Madame Vane’s red life force. Before Adam could summon his black diamond dagger, Elias stepped backward. He melted into the shadows just like a ghost, completely vanishing from the room. Adam stood perfectly still. He looked down at the empty, drooling husk of Madame Vane. The Reaper had been beaten to the harvest. Elias was killing his own agents just to feed Emily’s hungry scar. The bomb was getting bigger, and time was running out. The next morning, a terrible wave of fear swept through Bourbon Academy. When the sun came up, the teachers found Madame Vane in her chair. The news spread like wild fire. First it was Professor Croft, then the dueling coach, and now the Acting Headmistress. They were all turned into empty, catatonic shells overnight. The students did not know about the Blood Cult. They did not know
Chapter 145
Adam sat high in the dark, dusty rafters of the main Academy building. Outside, the cold rain hit the glass windows. He only had one week until the mid-term festival. He only had one week to stop Emily and Elias from blowing up the school. Adam realized his old tactics were too slow. Stalking targets one by one, following them through the halls, took too many days. He needed a faster way to hunt. He needed systematic efficiency. Adam closed his dead, dark brown eyes. He did not open the Gate of Hunger, but he tapped gently on the door of the "Grave of Kings." He let the sensory overload of his hollow soul flood his brain. Instantly, the dark school disappeared. Adam’s mind filled with a glowing, three-dimensional map of the entire Academy. He could see the bright, warm blue lights of normal students sleeping in their beds. And he could see the sick, pulsing red strings of the Blood Cult. Adam watched the red strings move like a giant spiderweb. He saw exactly where the cult memb
Chapter 144
Adam stood on the wooden beam high above the candlelit room. His cover was blown. Toby and the other corrupted students were staring directly at his invisible shape in the dark. "Hello, Adam," Emily’s voice echoed. Her dark-purple scar glowed brightly, reflecting in the sick, yellow eyes of her followers. Adam did not panic. His hollow mind worked like a cold, perfect machine. He stepped off the wooden beam. He fell twenty feet through the air and landed perfectly on the dusty stone floor. He made absolutely no sound. The thirty uncorrupted students gasped and stepped backward. But the ten students who had already taken the vow did not move. They stood in front of Emily, moving their feet at the exact same time. They were a perfect, creepy wall of human shields. Adam slowly stood up straight. His dead, dark brown eyes locked onto Emily. "You need to stop this, Emily," Adam said. His voice was completely flat and emotionless. "Put the silver cup down."Emily laughed. It was a loud
Chapter 143
Adam stood completely frozen in the dark hallway. The sharp, black diamond dagger was in his hand. He looked through the crack in the wooden door. He saw the Elias inside the room, standing next to Emily. Then, Adam looked at the second Elias standing right next to him in the hall. "If you attack," the Elias in the hallway whispered, smiling his polite, evil smile, "we will slaughter every sleeping student in the dormitories. The Master has many hands, Adam."Adam’s hollow mind worked like a lightning-fast computer. He calculated the math of the fight. He could kill both copies of Elias right now. He could kill Emily. But he could not be in two places at once. If he started a war tonight, hundreds of innocent children would die in their beds before morning. Adam made a cold, logical choice. He closed his hand. The black diamond dagger vanished into nothing. "Good boy," the Elias in the hallway laughed softly. The tall boy in the dark blue uniform suddenly melted. His body turned
Chapter 142
Emily sat on the cold, dusty floor of the old alchemy building. The dark room smelled like old dried herbs and damp stone. Elias, the tall boy in the dark blue uniform, stood over her. The thick, red blood magic he had given her was pumping through her veins. "Breathe, Emily," Elias whispered. His voice was smooth and polite. "Do not fight the void-scar. The Academy teaches you to control magic with rules. But true power has no rules. Push the red blood magic directly into the scar. Feed it."Emily closed her eyes. She focused her mind. The dark-purple scar on her right arm usually burned with terrible pain. It always tried to eat her life force. But this time, Emily pushed the heavy red blood magic into the jagged wound. The hungry scar drank the red liquid. The pulsing pain instantly stopped. Emily gasped. A cold, rushing thrill of pure energy exploded in her chest. The void-scar was no longer a parasite. It became an engine. It pumped massive, terrifying power back into her bod
