Chapter 220
The mutated Duke of the North swung the heavy Null-Metal spear. The gray anti-magic blade aimed directly at Adam’s head.Adam had no dark magic to protect him. The Null-Metal completely locked his hollow soul. But Adam Cook was not just a magic battery. His human body was a highly evolved, incredibly dense weapon.Adam did not try to block the heavy spear. He dropped to his knees. The gray blade swung over his dark hair, missing him by an inch.Before the Duke could pull the spear back, Adam pushed off the icy floor. He lunged forward and slammed his shoulder directly into the Duke’s chest.The Duke gasped as his ribs broke. He stumbled backward, dropping the Null-Metal spear.Adam grabbed the heavy gray spear from the floor. He did not attack the Duke again. He spun around and threw the Null-Metal spear like a massive javelin.The spear flew across the Deep-Freeze room. It smashed directly int
Chapter 219
Adam turned his body to sprint out of the dusty archives. His human panic took over. Catherine was falling down a pitch-black chute toward a deadly machine. He had to catch her. "Wait!" Kaelen shouted. The old mage lunged forward and grabbed Adam’s arm. Adam’s dark brown eyes snapped back to the old man. "Let go. She is falling.""If you just jump into the chute, you will die!" Kaelen cried out. "The Deep-Freeze is filled with absolute zero magic! It will instantly turn your blood into solid ice. You cannot catch her if you are frozen!"Adam stopped. His hollow, logical mind quickly pushed the human panic away. The machine in his brain calculated the math. The central chute was one mile long. Catherine was falling fast, but the air pressure inside the pipe would slow her down. He had exactly ninety seconds before she hit the bottom. "Show me the weak points," Adam commanded coldly. He stepped back to the glowing magical map on the wooden desk. Kaelen wiped the sweat from his wrink
Chapter 218
The blue communication crystal hummed quietly in Adam’s pale hand. "If you want to stop my father, you need the castle blueprints," Elias whispered through the magic stone. "The Frost-Spire is full of deadly traps. Go to the lower archives. Find the disgraced court mage. His name is Kaelen. He refused to join the Blood Cult, so the Duke locked him in the basement. Find him, Sovereign."Adam crushed the blue crystal in his fist. It turned to gray dust. Adam looked at Catherine. She was sitting on the bed, holding her knees. "Lock the heavy oak doors," Adam commanded softly. "Do not let anyone inside. I will be right back."Adam slipped out of the bedroom. He moved into the dark, freezing hallways of the castle. He became the perfect silent ghost again. He did not make a single sound. He walked past the possessed guards. He walked past the glowing blue torches. He climbed down hundreds of cold stone stairs. He went deep into the bottom of the mountain, far below the beautiful throne
Chapter 217
The heavy oak doors of the bedroom were securely locked. Adam Cook stepped away from the tall glass window. Outside in the snowy valley, the massive Royal Army was marching toward the Frost-Spire. But Adam’s cold, hollow mind turned back to the immediate danger inside the dark room. He walked over to the hidden compartment in the obsidian wall. The blue communication crystal sat there, humming quietly. Adam closed his eyes for a tiny fraction of a second. He focused his mind and used his heightened magical perception. He looked closely at the black stone walls, the floor, and the ceiling. Earlier, he had used tiny, surgical pulses of pitch-black Void magic to eat the dangerous inner threads of the blood magic. He had carefully left the outer shell intact so the castle guards would not notice. But as Adam stared at the remaining magical shell with his hyper-focused vision, he realized a terrifying truth. The glowing red runes carved into the stone were not just designed to act as a
Chapter 216
Adam had stopped the mutated Duke with a single, silent strike of pitch-black Void magic. He had frozen the monster in the shadows without making a sound. But before Adam could grab Catherine and escape the High Tower, dozens of heavily armed guards arrived. Valerius wanted to parade his prize. Adam was forced to step back into the shadows. He had to put his "low-tier mercenary" mask back on and follow Catherine as her silent bodyguard. The Grand Banquet was held in the largest dining room of the Frost-Spire. The room was filled with rich, corrupted nobles. They wore expensive clothes and laughed loudly. At the head of the massive wooden table sat Kael. The blindfolded boy’s body was still perfectly controlled by the ancient Marquis Valerius. His yellow eyes glowed with dark, evil joy. Catherine was forced to sit in a tall chair right next to him. She wore a heavy, beautiful silver dress. Her face was perfectly pale. Valerius stood up. He raised a tall crystal glass filled with d
Chapter 215
Marquis Valerius smiled a terrible, knowing smile. He looked down from the black stone altar, staring directly into Adam’s eyes. "It seems the ghost decided to wear a new mask today," Valerius’s grinding voice echoed through the massive cavern. The heavy, dark disguise fell away from Adam’s shoulders. He stopped slouching. He stood perfectly straight. The mercenary named Aethelred was gone. Adam Cook, the Sovereign of the Void, looked back at the ancient monster. High Inquisitor Malakor stepped backward, his face completely pale. He realized his secret plan to use Adam was ruined. The hundreds of possessed nobles drew their weapons. They prepared to attack. But Valerius raised his hand. "Stop!" the Marquis commanded. Valerius looked at the massive silver door. The ancient runes on the metal were still flashing with pitch-black, buzzing static. The door was reacting violently to Adam’s dark soul. "The Key is here, but the lock is too hot," Valerius whispered, his yellow eyes nar
