Chapter 65
The ancient voice from the dark cellar echoed in Adam’s mind. It sounded like heavy stones grinding together. The giant yellow eyes stared at him from the absolute darkness under the ruined floorboards of the Old Academy.“The new King comes to the graveyard,” the beast whispered.Adam stood completely still. He looked down into the dark hole. His void-black eyes met the glowing yellow eyes of the monster. He did not feel fear. He only felt the cold, infinite space of his own soul.Adam slowly shook his head. "Not today," Adam said softly. His voice was calm. "I just moved in. I have to unpack."The giant yellow eyes blinked slowly. A low, rumbling chuckle vibrated through the stone floor. “Very well, little King. We have all the time in the world. I will be waiting in the dark.”The yellow eyes closed. The massive presence retreated deep into the cellars. The Old Academy was silent once again.Adam turned away from the hole. He let out a long, slow breath. The Eternal Sovereign Syste
Chapter 64
Julian did not listen. He did not care about his own life. The Seraph only cared about destroying the darkness."I will purify you," Julian commanded. He raised his hand toward the sky. A massive ball of holy fire began to gather in his palm. He was preparing to execute Adam right there in the sand.Adam’s hands fell away from Julian’s boot. He had no strength left.The digestion fever had sapped his muscles. The broken ribs made it impossible to breathe. The Holy Smite had burned his nerves.Adam lay pinned to the dirt. He looked up at the bright blue sky.“I wanted to be a King,” Adam thought slowly. His brain was shutting down. “I promised myself I would never be on the ground again. But here I am. In the mud. Under his boot. Again.”He thought about Catherine. If he died here, Julian would tell the Inquisition about her. Malphas would burn her at the stake.He thought about Princess Elara. She was sitting up in her velvet chair, watching him die like a dog on a leash.He felt a de
Chapter 63
The darkness formed a heavy barrier between him and Julian. It was the same shield that had easily stopped the Bone Dragon and the fire mages.Julian’s finger glowed brighter.BZZZZZT! A thick beam of solid, roaring white light shot from Julian’s finger. It moved faster than lightning. It crossed the ten feet of sand in a microsecond and slammed directly into Adam’s Void Shield.Adam expected the Void to eat the magic. He expected the black smoke to swallow the light. But it did not.The moment the holy light touched the Void, a terrible, shrieking sound filled the arena. It sounded like water being thrown into a fryer.The Holy Smite did not fade. It burned through the darkness like boiling acid melting through thin paper.[System Alert: 300% Critical Damage Received!][Holy Energy is the absolute counter to Void Energy.]The white beam pierced right through the center of the black shield. It hit Adam directly in the left shoulder."GAAAAAH!" Adam screamed. It was a raw, agonizing s
Chapter 62
Adam’s soul finally cracked. It did not crack from damage. It did not break because it was weak. It cracked the way a dragon's egg cracks right before the beast comes out. It was not a break of destruction. It was a break of release.A bright, glowing purple screen flashed across Adam’s vision.[Criteria Met.][Extreme Magical Energy Directed at Host.][Soul Architecture Expanded.][Second Gate Unlocked: The Gate of Hunger.]The message disappeared. As the Blade of the Dawn came within one inch of Adam’s neck, Adam triggered his new power.[Skill Activated: Mana Devourer Aura.]Instantly, the entire room plunged into absolute, pitch-black darkness. It was not just the absence of light. It was the murder of light.The candles in the hallway outside instantly went out. The glowing golden spears held by the knights turned completely dark. The bright, holy light shining from Malphas’s heavy armor died in a single second.The only thing visible in the room was Julian’s glowing crystal swor
Chapter 61
High Inquisitor Malphas was still standing there. But the proud, dangerous Inquisitor looked completely different.The Devourer Aura had touched Malphas too. The glowing white magic that usually surrounded the Inquisitor’s heavy armor was gone. The magic in his silver broadsword had been completely sucked dry, turning the beautiful weapon into a dull, heavy piece of gray iron.Malphas dropped the heavy iron sword. It hit the floor with a dull clank.The ten Holy Knights in the hallway behind him also dropped their weapons. Their glowing spears were nothing but dead wooden sticks now. The aura had eaten the magic out of every weapon in the room.Malphas slowly raised his hands in the air. He did not bow, but he surrendered. He realized that if he tried to fight, Adam would just eat his soul exactly like he had eaten the angel fragment."You..." Malphas whispered, his voice trembling. "What are you?""I am the answer to your prayers," Adam said softly.Adam took a step forward.CRACK.
