Chapter 282
The sword trembled, its edge quivering against Mara’s throat. One drop of shadowfire slid down the blade, searing her skin. She didn’t flinch. Her eyes stayed locked on his, fierce and unyielding.Oliver’s roar split the plain, his body convulsing. Shadows burst outward, wings lashing against the ground, claws digging into stone.[System Alert: Hollow Transformation, 87%][Warning: Host Integrity Near Collapse]The Hollow’s voice thundered through him. “End it! Kill her! Kill the boy! Tear the tether and be free!”His human voice broke through, jagged and torn. “I… won’t.” Elias coughed, his small chest rising and falling shallowly. His eyes fluttered open, glazed with exhaustion. Threads spilled from his trembling hands, brighter now, burning with desperate light.[Threadbind Surge, Maximum Output][Warning: Threadbearer Integrity 0.8%]The golden lines lashed around Oliver’s chest, wrapping his arms, his sword, even his wings. They pulled with impossible force, dragging his body ba
Chapter 281
Oliver’s scream ripped through the plain as black fire poured from his chest, wings unfurling wider, their span blotting out the sky. The ground fractured beneath him, stone splitting into jagged shards.[System Alert: Hollow Transformation, 74%][Warning: Host Integrity Unstable]The rebels collapsed under the pressure, clutching their heads, their weapons forgotten. Garrick staggered, his burned arm trembling, his voice hoarse with rage and fear. “You see?!” he shouted over the storm. “He’s not human anymore! He’s the Hollow itself!”Some of the rebels sobbed, others screamed prayers, but none dared move closer. Mara shielded Elias with her body, her burned arms shaking as she forced herself to her feet. Blood streamed down her skin, her breath ragged, but her eyes locked on Oliver. “Oliver!” she shouted, her voice raw and fierce. “You’re still here! I know you can hear me!”His head turned slowly, crimson eyes burning like twin suns. His sword lifted, dripping shadowfire, the Holl
Chapter 280
The plain burned like the heart of a dying world. Shadows streamed from Oliver’s back, wings spread wide, each feather dripping with fire that hissed against stone. Cracks spread across his skin, glowing with black light, his sword trembling in his grip.[System Alert: Hollow Transformation, 58%][Warning: Host Integrity Failing]His roar shook the air, layered in two voices, one human, one Hollow. The sound drove the rebels to their knees, terror choking them.Mara staggered forward, bloodied but unbroken, Elias clutched against her chest. The boy’s faint threads flickered weakly, tethered to Oliver’s chest. Each flicker dimmed faster, burning the boy out.Mara’s throat tightened. She shouted into the storm, her voice raw. “Oliver! It’s me! Don’t let it take you, fight it!”His head lifted slowly. His crimson eyes locked on her. For one heartbeat, she saw him, the man she knew. His lips parted, his voice breaking. “Mara…”Then his face twisted, eyes blazing brighter, the Hollow voic
Chapter 279
The storm of shadow raged outward, cracks splitting the jagged plain. Black fire spilled into the fissures, spreading like veins beneath the ground. Each pulse of Oliver’s heart shook the air, each breath thick with Hollow fire.[System Alert: Corruption, 112%][Warning: Host Integrity Failing]Mara forced her steps forward. Each shadow lash cut shallow lines into her arms and legs, burning with searing cold. Blood welled, but she clenched her jaw and kept moving.Her voice cut through the storm. “Oliver! It’s me! You’re still in there, I know you are!”For a moment, his head lifted. His crimson eyes flickered. But the Hollow’s voice drowned everything. “She lies. She fears you. Strike her down. Claim your freedom.”His sword twitched in his grip, swinging an inch toward Mara. The rebels flinched. One whispered, “He’s going to kill her.”Another stumbled back. “We should run.”But Garrick’s scarred face twisted in rage. His voice cut sharp, slicing the air like a blade. “Run? And let
Chapter 278
The Envoy screeched, its cracked mask glowing with blinding green fire. Black wings of shadow burst from its back, spreading wide across the jagged plain. The broken ground trembled as it lunged again, faster than before, both arms forming jagged new blades.Oliver met it with a roar, his sword blazing. Sparks and shadowfire exploded with every strike, the air filled with shrieks and steel.[System Alert: Stability, 20 Seconds Remaining][Warning: Corruption Lock Failing]The Hollow Seed screamed inside him, hungry. “Yes! Tear it apart! Devour it! This is your birthright!”Mara fought beside him, knives darting in and out, carving shallow cuts across the Envoy’s cloak. Each strike tore a piece of shadow away, but the enemy reformed instantly, laughing through the pain.“Fragile,” it hissed, its blades clashing against Oliver’s sword. “You hold back. You fear yourself. That fear will be your end.”Oliver’s chest burned hotter. His crimson eyes glowed too bright, his vision swimming.
Chapter 277
The Hollow Envoy stood tall, its cracked mask glowing faint green, shadows curling off its body like smoke caught in endless wind. The jagged plain trembled beneath its steps as it advanced.Oliver braced himself, sword gripped tight. His chest burned with every breath, shadows bleeding from his skin. His crimson eyes glowed too bright, as though something inside was about to split.The Envoy’s laughter echoed in every direction, wrong and endless. “Seeker… look at you. Neither man nor Hollow, trapped in between. You bleed, and yet you do not die. You fight, and yet you do not win. You are perfect.”Oliver’s jaw tightened. His voice came rough, layered with an echo not his own. “I’m nothing like you.”The Envoy tilted its mask, the cracks glowing wider into a grin. “You’re exactly like me. You just haven’t stopped pretending yet.”It struck first. The Envoy’s blade-arm swept across the plain in a wide arc. The air screamed as black fire followed the strike. Oliver blurred forward.[Sk
