Chapter 261
The survivors moved like ghosts through the tunnels. Their steps echoed, crunching over gravel and scattered ash. Every sound felt too loud in the suffocating dark. The torches they carried gave only weak flames, fighting against the damp, stale air. The shadows stretched long across the walls, crawling, writhing, almost alive.Oliver walked at the rear, silent. His sword was sheathed but never far from his hand. He felt the stares, the sharp, accusing weight of them on his back. Mara stayed close beside him, knives glinting faintly at her hips. She guided Elias, who leaned against her, his thin body shivering from exhaustion. The boy’s eyes closed more than they opened, but his chest still rose and fell in a shallow rhythm.The silence pressed heavier than the stone above their heads. No one dared speak. The only sounds were the slow drip of water echoing somewhere deep within the earth and the rasp of tired breaths. Yet Oliver knew what every rebel was thinking. He could taste
Chapter 260
The tunnel stretched long and silent, the kind of silence that felt heavy, like it was holding its breath. Only the sound of ragged breathing broke it, uneven gasps that echoed faintly against the stone walls.Ash still floated in the air, tiny gray flecks drifting like ghostly snow. Some of it glowed faintly, carrying the last embers of the battle that had almost ended them. The smell of burning stone clung stubbornly to the walls, sharp in the nose, almost choking. It was the smell of death mixed with fire, something no one would ever forget.Mara knelt on the cold ground, her arms steady though her face was pale. She helped Elias sit upright, bracing his weight against her. The boy’s lips were blue, his skin clammy with sweat. She tore strips of cloth from her cloak and wrapped them around his shoulders, trying to stop the violent shivering that shook his frail body.Elias leaned against her, eyes half-lidded, but not closed. Even in pain, even at the edge of collapse, there was
Chapter 259
The cavern smelled like smoke and blood. The stench clung to every stone, thick and heavy, like the whole place had been burned alive. Ash swirled in the air, floating down slowly, covering the ground in a gray carpet. The Devourer was gone. Its massive body had fallen apart into dust, melting into the floor until nothing was left. No flesh. No bones. Only claw marks carved deep into the walls, broken stones shattered across the ground, and a silence that felt too heavy, too wrong.Mara dropped down to her knees. Her whole body shook. Her chest heaved as she pulled in broken breaths that scraped her throat. Sweat rolled down her dirt-streaked face, dripping from her chin. Her arms felt like dead weight, trembling so badly she could not hold her blades anymore. They slipped from her hands and clattered to the ground, the sound sharp and lonely in the cavern’s silence.She tried to steady herself, but her heart was pounding too fast. Every beat felt like it would tear her chest ope
Chapter 258
Ash rained down like snow. The gray flakes floated through the air, soft and endless, settling over the broken ground. The massive body of the Devourer was gone. It had crumbled to dust, leaving only a scar on the earth where it once stood. The beast’s fanged mask had shattered into sharp pieces, scattered like broken glass across the floor.The cavern was quiet now, except for the low groan of shifting stone. The ground still trembled faintly, as if the earth itself feared what had just happened, and in the middle of it all stood Oliver.His chest heaved as he tried to catch his breath. His sword dripped with thick, black ichor that hissed when it touched the ground. Around him, shadows moved like living smoke. They curled around his body, clinging to his arms, his shoulders, even his legs, as if trying to weave themselves into him.On his face, the mask pulsed. Dark light throbbed from its cracks, threads writhing like veins alive with hunger.The mask was no longer just somethin
Chapter 257
The numbers burned bright before Oliver’s eyes.[Critical Choice Available][Equip Mask of the Reaver, Yes / No][3… 2…]The glow was sharp, pressing against his vision like fire. He couldn’t look away, even as his chest heaved and his blood ran down into the dust. The satchel at his side pulsed like it had a heartbeat of its own. Thump. Thump. Louder and louder.Inside, the mask waited. He could feel its shape through the leather, jagged and wrong. Its whispers had grown into screams. “Say yes. Wear me. Let me fight. Let me kill. Let me rip and tear. You cannot win without me.”Oliver’s arms trembled. His sword slipped from his bloody fingers and clattered against the ground. He tried to breathe, but his lungs felt crushed. His vision blurred. The tunnel spun, red shadows crawling along the walls.Ahead, the Devourer roared. Its enormous jaws stretched wide, pulling the very air into its mouth. The sound was like a storm breaking apart the world. Threads of light were ripped free
Chapter 256
The Devourer’s roar tore through the tunnel like a storm. The sound was so loud that the walls shook and dust rained down from the ceiling. Sharp cracks spread across the stone floor where its claws struck, as if the ground itself was breaking apart under its rage.Its mask glowed red, brighter and brighter, filling the cavern with a bloody light. The glow painted every rock, every shadow, every face in crimson.Oliver staggered backward, his sword trembling in his hand. His chest rose and fell quickly, each breath sharp and painful. Blood dripped from a wound across his side, leaving dark trails on the floor. His entire body shook with weakness. A cold message flashed in front of his blurred eyes:[Warning! HP Critically Low, 11% Remaining][Status: Bleeding, Moderate | Fatigue, Severe]He tried to tighten his grip on his sword, but even his fingers felt heavy. His body screamed for him to stop, to fall, to give in. He could barely stand, but then he heard a cry. “Oliver!”Elias’s
