Chapter 271
The Anchor pulsed like a giant heart, cracks glowing green. From its shadow, the Revenant rose, towering, jagged, its mask cracked into a grin that split too wide. Its body was woven from black threads, each strand writhing as if alive.The cavern shook under its presence. Its claws scraped the stone, sparks flashing with every step.[System Alert: Anchor Guardian, Hollow Revenant (Lv. 45)][Special Effect: Resonance with Hollow Seed detected.]Oliver’s chest seared. The mark on him pulsed in rhythm with the Revenant. Every beat sent agony through his veins. His sword trembled in his hand.The whispers hissed with joy. “Yes. Do you feel it? It is you. You are it. Why fight what you already are?”The rebels broke instantly. One dropped his blade, backing away. “No. No, no, no, we can’t fight that. We’ll die!”Another screamed, bolting for the walls as though he could dig his way out. The scarred rebel stood frozen, his face pale, sweat dripping. “We’re finished,” he muttered. “Finished

The cavern stretched wide, its ceiling lost in shadow. The Anchor floated at the center, an enormous shard of crystal, cracked and bleeding black light. Its pulses were slow and steady, like the heartbeat of something ancient.Each throb sent a ripple through the air, warping the stone around it. The ground shuddered faintly, like the whole chamber was alive.Oliver’s chest burned with each pulse. His knees buckled, his sword clattering against the floor before he forced himself upright again.[Corruption Progression: 96%, 97%][Warning: Hollow Seed approaching irreversible state.]The whispers filled his skull, louder now, every word like claws against his mind. “Closer. Touch it. It’s waiting for you. It’s yours.”Mara gripped his arm, pulling him back. “Don’t look at it too long. It wants you.”Her voice was firm, but he saw the strain in her eyes. The glow touched everyone, twisting their features. Shadows deepened around their faces, making them look less human.Even Elias, clutc

Oliver’s chest burned like fire. His breath came ragged, every heartbeat shaking his frame. The Hollow Seed throbbed louder, the whispers turning into a roar. “Enough weakness. Enough bleeding. Take my hand. Tear them all apart.”The Spawn shrieked as they surged forward again. Their claws flashed, their masks glinting green in the torchless dark.Oliver’s grip on his sword faltered. His vision narrowed. He saw Mara fighting desperately, knives flashing, Elias clinging to the wall with threads spilling from his hands, the rebels barely holding back the tide.And he knew. Without more power, they would all die here. His jaw clenched. His voice was a rasp. “Fine.”He let the shadows in. The mark on his chest blazed, searing like molten iron. Black veins spread across his skin, glowing faintly with green light. His crimson eyes burned brighter, no longer human.[System Alert: Hollow Seed Unleashed][Temporary Boost: +300% Strength | +200% Speed | Regeneration Enabled][Warning: Corruptio
Chapter 268
The ground shook as the tunnel behind them collapsed. Rocks slammed together with a deafening roar, sealing the way they had come. Dust exploded into the air, filling their mouths and noses. The rebels coughed, shielding their faces with their arms, their eyes wide with panic.The heavy echo of falling stone faded, leaving only the sound of tiny pebbles rolling across the ground. But another sound slithered through the silence, a low hiss, like smoke breathing.Oliver lifted his head, his hand tightening on his sword. The air grew colder, the light dimmer, as though even the torches struggled to stay alive in this place. From the deep black ahead, dozens of glowing eyes appeared. They blinked, then narrowed, and one by one, the shapes around them shifted into sight.The Wraithborn Spawn emerged. Their cracked masks grinned with jagged teeth, and their twisted bodies flickered like smoke shaped into cruel forms. Their claws dragged along the stone floor, sparks scraping as they move

The tunnel shook. Dust rained from the ceiling. Black tendrils spread along the floor, curling around Oliver’s boots like chains.The mark on his chest blazed hot. His breath grew ragged. His sword rose higher, trembling in his hand.In his vision, Mara’s face melted into a mask of shadow. Her eyes were hollow pits. Her knives glinted like fangs. The rebels behind her all wore the same cracked grin, reaching for him with clawed hands. Even Elias, small and trembling, now looked like a creature with threads spilling out of his chest.The Hollow Seed whispered, its voice thick and sweet. “They are lies. Kill them. Break them. Feed the dark and be free.”Mara’s voice cut through the haze. “Oliver. Look at me. It’s me. It’s not real.”But her voice sounded warped, stretched, like an echo in a cavern too deep. His hand tightened around the hilt. The shadows urged him on.[Corruption Progression: 81%, 83%]He stepped forward, blade poised to strike. The whispers drowned out every other sou

The group moved slowly into the left tunnel. The walls seemed to press in on them, damp and rough, the stones wet with dark streaks of moss. The moss gave off a faint green glow, just enough to light the narrow path. The air was heavy, carrying a sharp smell of iron and rot, like blood that had been left too long in the open. Every sound, boots scraping the ground, water dripping from the ceiling, echoed in the tight passage, making the tunnel feel alive.Oliver walked at the front. His shoulders were tense, and every step felt heavier than the last. Inside his chest, the Hollow Seed pulsed, pulling him forward like a chain dragging him deeper into the dark. His heart beat hard, and each beat made his vision blur.[Corruption Progression: 74%, 76%]Faces flickered in the shadows. White masks, hollow eyes, and thin hands that reached for him from the stone. He blinked, but the images did not go away.Then, for one terrifying second, he saw Elias lying on the ground ahead of him. The
