Chapter 276
The cloaked figure stepped forward, its boots cracking the stone with each slow stride. The air warped around it, shadows bending toward its body like servants bowing to their master.The rebels backed away instinctively, their breaths ragged. One dropped his blade altogether, the clatter echoing too loud in the strange silence.Mara shifted Elias in her arms, her knives poised. Her voice was low, sharp. “Stay back.”The figure chuckled, the sound hollow and wrong, echoing like ten voices speaking at once. “Oh, little warrior… you don’t even know what stands beside you.”Its mask turned toward Oliver, the glowing cracks stretching wider into a smile. “He is not your ally. He is not your savior. He is Hollow born, and Hollow bound.”Oliver’s sword rose, shadows hissing across the blade. His crimson eyes blazed, his breath ragged. “Shut your mouth.”The figure tilted its head, amused. “Do you feel it? The ache in your chest, the fire in your veins? That is not corruption. That is truth.

The Rift swallowed them whole. For a heartbeat, there was only light, violent, jagged light that burned the eyes and seared the lungs. It felt like falling into fire, yet the fire was cold. Screams echoed in every direction, torn from mouths and shadows alike, then came the silence.Oliver hit the ground hard, stone cracking under him. His sword clattered beside his hand, still wreathed in shadowfire. His chest burned as if molten iron had been poured into his veins.[System Alert: Rift Transfer Complete][Location: ???]His crimson eyes opened slowly. The world was wrong. The ground stretched in jagged shards, like broken glass fused into stone. A black sky loomed overhead, no stars, only cracks of green light that pulsed in time with his chest. The air smelled of ash and rot, each breath heavy and sharp. They weren’t in the cavern anymore. They weren’t anywhere he recognized.Mara groaned nearby, rolling onto her knees with Elias still cradled against her chest. The boy was pale,

The cavern floor buckled, splitting in jagged lines that glowed with Hollow fire. The Rift pulsed like a bleeding wound, vomiting Phantoms faster than they could cut them down.[System Alert: Hollow Rift Collapse, 1:59 Remaining]Oliver swung his blade in a storm of shadow and steel.[Skill Activated: Shadow Sever, Overdrive Mode][Remaining Duration: 15 Seconds]His sword tore through another cluster of Phantoms, the ash burning against his skin. Each strike came faster, heavier, as though the Hollow Seed itself guided his hands.The rebels stumbled behind him, their blades swinging wildly, their voices high with panic. “This is impossible!” one cried. “We’ll never make it out alive!”Mara’s knives flashed as she cut down another Phantom lunging for Elias. Her chest heaved, sweat streaking her bloodied face.She looked at Oliver, shadows swirling off him in violent waves. “You’re burning yourself out!”Oliver’s crimson eyes glowed, his voice a hollow growl. “If I stop, you die.”The

The Anchor split with a deafening crack. Shards of crystal fell like blades, green light pouring out in rivers that seared across the cavern floor. Shadows gushed from the wound, twisting into Phantom shapes, dozens of them, their hollow eyes blazing.[System Alert: Anchor Integrity, 0%] [System Alert: Hollow Rift Unstable, Containment Collapse Imminent]The cavern shook so hard the ceiling rained stone. The rebels screamed, stumbling back as the Phantoms poured forward. Mara whirled, knives flashing in both hands. “Oliver! Now! We need you!”But Oliver knelt frozen in the storm, his body wreathed in shadow, his crimson eyes blazing too brightly.[Corruption: 100%][Status: Hollow Transformation Overdue]The Hollow Seed howled in his skull, its voice no longer whispers but thunder. “This is your moment. Rise. End them all. Become the Revenant of the Seed.”His sword hovered above the stone, shadowfire spilling along its edge. His hand trembled, halfway to claiming it. Elias’s voice

The Revenant towered above them, its body split with glowing cracks, each pulse shaking the cavern. The Anchor throbbed behind it, veins of green light spreading through the stone.Oliver’s sword trembled in his grip, shadows coiling along the steel. His chest seared with fire, every heartbeat syncing with the Revenant’s.[System Alert: Resonance 82%][Warning: Hollow Seed Progression nearing critical limit.]The whispers roared, louder than the clash of battle. “Yes. Yes. Finish it. You are the Revenant. It is you. Why fight yourself?”The monster lunged, its claws tearing a trench through the floor. Oliver blinked aside.[Skill Activated: Echo Step Lv 3]His sword slashed upward, tearing through the Revenant’s arm. Shadows burst, green light spraying from the wound.[Critical Hit, Integrity Reduced 12%]The Revenant shrieked and swung back, its claw slamming into Oliver’s chest. He flew backward, crashing against stone, blood spraying from his mouth.[HP Reduced, 19%][Current HP: 4

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
