Traitor's Decree
Elder Gu crushed the communication jade in his sweating palm. The magical stone crumbled into useless green dust. He let the fragments slip through his trembling fingers and fall onto the stone tiles. He stood in the center of the barricaded eastern courtyard. Thirty surviving orthodox instructors formed a tight defensive perimeter around him. The teachers held their steel swords ready and watched the red fog swirling outside the stone archways. They bled from deep lacerations and their robes were scorched by chemical burns. They waited for their Pavilion Master to issue the next tactical command.Gu did not care about the syndicate initiates butchering the junior scholars in the lower dormitories. He cared about the deafening silence radiating from the seventh floor of the Alchemy Pavilion. He stationed four elite Vanguard bodyguards outside his private office to protect his personal safe. He keyed the localized frequency three times over the last ten minutes. His elite killers did n
Sanctum Breach
Blood dripped from the hem of his grey tunic and stained the polished wooden stairs. Ye Tian gripped the mahogany banister to steady his failing mortal vessel. He reached the seventh floor of the administrative spire and left the chaotic screams of the lower campus behind him. The air grew thin and cold in the restricted upper levels of the Alchemy Pavilion. He needed to secure the physical proof of treason before his torn cardiovascular tissue surrendered to the immense friction of his sovereign soul.The red toxic fog did not penetrate this high into the building. The long corridor stretched out before him in the dim moonlight filtering through the tall glass windows. Intricate woven rugs covered the stone floorboards to silence the footsteps of the academic elites. The opulent decor masked the rot festering at the core of the institution. Ye Tian wiped a fresh trail of dark blood from his chin. His vision blurred for a brief second before he forced his golden energy to sharpen his
Ice Barricade
The splintering wood of the barricade sounded like cracking bones. Heavy steel axes bit into the overturned dining tables blocking the grand foyer. The syndicate initiates outside did not care about stealth anymore. They possessed overwhelming numbers and intended to butcher their way into the sanctuary.Hundreds of junior scholars pressed their backs against the far wall of the hall. They clustered near the shattered remains of the ceramic planters. Some wept quietly while others covered their ears to block out the deafening strikes. The purified air Lin Xi provided earlier now carried the sharp scent of fresh panic and sweating bodies.Instructor Ma stood at the front of the collapsing barricade. Four remaining orthodox teachers flanked him with their swords drawn. Their silk robes hung in tatters and dark blood stained their hands. They formed a fragile human shield between the criminal swarm and the vulnerable youth."Hold the center gap," Instructor Ma shouted to his exhausted co
The Fairy's Blindness
Ye Tian pushed the heavy oak door of a ground floor lecture hall shut. The iron latch clicked into place and severed the chaotic noise of the invasion echoing through the Alchemy Pavilion. He leaned his back against the thick wood and slid down until his boots rested flat on the floorboards. The darkness of the empty classroom offered a brief sanctuary from the violence consuming the academy.He pressed his hand against his sternum and closed his eyes. His human heart hammered against his ribs with the erratic dangerous rhythm of a failing engine. The raw kinetic output required to obliterate the twin assassins on the marble steps exacted a brutal toll on his mortal vessel. The golden stitches holding his torn cardiovascular tissue together were unraveling.He leaned forward and coughed a thick wad of dark blood onto the polished wooden floor. The liquid smelled of old copper and necrotic rot. The poison from the forest trials crawled up his neck and painted his veins a sickly purple.
The Mortal Toll
The crimson vapor swallowed the wide stone pathway leading to the massive oak doors of the Alchemy Pavilion. Ye Tian marched through the toxic mist with slow deliberate steps. A thin layer of Golden Qi coated his skin to repel the necrotic acid hidden within the fog. The synthetic vapor hissed like a nest of angry vipers whenever it brushed against his sovereign light. The thick air tasted like rusted iron and decaying leaves.His human heart throbbed with a dull persistent ache. The golden stitches holding his torn cardiovascular tissue together strained against the erratic rhythm of his pulse. He needed to reach the restricted upper floors of the administrative spire and secure the Demonic Blood Pact. The physical proof of treason was the only political weapon capable of destroying the Pavilion Master in front of the orthodox elders.He reached the base of the wide marble staircase leading to the main entrance. The red fog parted to reveal two figures standing on the upper landing.
Toxic Corridors
Lin Xi pushed th wooden double doors of the grand foyer closed and shoved a massive marble bench against the brass handles. She ushered the group of fifty junior scholars she rescued from the dormitories into the cavernous space. Dozens of other survivors and several senior orthodox instructors already occupied the polished stone floor. The teachers paced nervously in front of the barricaded entryways with their swords drawn and their faces pale with terror."The perimeter is lost and the communication lines are completely dead," Instructor Ma yelled over the sounds of crying students. He pointed his sword toward the shattered stained glass windows. "Form a tight circle in the center of the hall and prepare your defensive arrays immediately. We must hold this position until the municipal guard realizes the campus is breached."A sharp hissing sound interrupted his frantic orders. The brass ventilation grates high on the stone walls suddenly expelled a thick dark green vapor.The noxio
