Gunfire still roared like thunder in a storm that had no sky. Screams clawed at the vaulted ceilings of the underground hall, echoing like the shrieks of hunted animals. Gilded chairs overturned, candelabras toppled, and priceless art splintered beneath the chaos.

And Jace was running straight toward death, The Black Ledger still gleamed in its shattered glass cradle. A prize worth more than empires. But every step closer was another second of bullets chewing through the marble around him.

He dove, slid across the slick floor, blood mixing with spilled champagne beneath his palms, and yanked the book free.

The room seemed to still, as though even the violence paused to witness him holding it. The leather was colder than ice, heavier than stone. It thrummed against his palms like it had a pulse. Then the voice.

“You’re out of your depth.”

Jace spun, chest heaving There, across the chaos, stood his double. Same face, same build, but sharper. Crueler. The eyes weren’t his; they glowed wi

  • Chapter 152: The Swarm

    The abyss screamed. The ground cracked wide open, vomiting shadows into the sky. They twisted, coiled, and reshaped into monstrous figures, some human-like with hollow eyes, others crawling like beasts with too many limbs. Each one was born from the writhing darkness, their bodies stitched from ash and agony.Jace stood in the ruins, his chest heaving, blood dripping from his mouth. His chains, once blazing like stars, now dimmed, flickering like dying embers. The swarm surged forward.Claws scraped stone. Screams shredded the air, Jace roared and threw himself at them, Chains lashed out, slicing through the first wave. Shadowy bodies split apart, but no sooner had one fallen than three more rose in its place.He spun, dragging the chains in wide arcs, cutting down dozens. But the swarm did not break. The horde pressed closer, their shrieks drilling into his skull.A beast lunged at him from behind. He twisted, smashing its face with his elbow, but another clamped its claws around his

  • Chapter 151: Ashes of Titans

    The ruins exploded as giant and man collided.The second abomination’s arms came crashing down like twin meteors. Jace hurled himself forward, chains blazing, the impact detonating in a shockwave that split stone and turned towers to dust.The ground gave way. Chasms opened, swallowing shattered streets as the city collapsed into itself. Firestorms rose from the earth, ash blotting out the blood-red sky.At the center of it all Jace, caught in the collision, his body nearly crushed, his chains shrieking against the giant’s monstrous strength.Every muscle tore, every bone screamed. His ribs cracked with each second he resisted, blood pouring from his mouth, but he did not let go. “I… won’t… BREAK!”The chains pulsed, Light erupted from him, raw and violent. It surged down the links, burrowing into the giant’s flesh. For the first time, the abomination screamed, not in rage, but in agony.Its skin bubbled, faces within it clawing at their own flesh as the chains burned through their pr

  • Chapter 150: Chains Against Giants

    The city split apart, its ruins sinking into rivers of molten shadow. From the fissures, two giants rose, abominations stitched together from chains, faces, and claws.Their bodies twisted and writhed like nightmares given flesh, each step cracking the shattered ground beneath them.The first giant leaned forward, its jawless maw opening in a soundless roar. Dozens of faces pushed through its skin, screaming in unison, their voices layered with agony. The second raised an arm the size of a tower, the chains embedded in its flesh snapping taut like whips.Jace stood at the center of the collapsing world, blood dripping from his side, his legs trembling. But his chains pulsed with light, alive, fierce.His chest heaved. They want me to break. They want me to surrender. He spat blood, tightening his grip“Come and try!”The first giant swung a fist the size of a house. Jace sprinted forward, chains dragging across the broken earth, sparks hissing as they scraped stone. At the last instan

  • Chapter 149: The Weight of Shadows

    The first claw cut the air just inches from Jace’s face.He jerked back, chains dragging sluggishly, his body refusing to move fast enough. The horde pressed in, black talons flashing, broken jaws snapping. The sound was deafening, a cacophony of shrieks, laughter, and whispers clawing at his ears.One shadow-beast lunged low, raking across his thigh. Pain ripped through him, hot and sharp, and his knees buckled. Another slammed against his back, sending him staggering forward into the mob.Jace roared, swinging wildly, his chains snapping through two creatures at once. But the strength wasn’t there anymore. His arms trembled, his chest heaved, and for every monster shattered into ash, five more rose from the ground.The abyss wasn’t an enemy. It was endless, The red eye above pulsed once, and Jace fell to one knee. His double walked calmly through the storm, unbothered by the swarm of creatures. The mockery on his face burned like acid.“Pathetic,” the other him sneered. “You thought

  • Chapter 148: The Fall Into Darkness

    The world disintegrated.Stone shattered, air split, and gravity twisted as the altar collapsed beneath Jace’s feet. The abyss didn’t just open, it swallowed.One moment, he was standing on jagged stone, chains blazing in his fists; the next, the ground had turned into an ocean of shadow, dragging him into a void with no bottom. He fell.The roar of the abyss drowned out everything else. A storm of whispers clawed at his mind, tearing at his will, each one promising release if he would just surrender. Faces surfaced in the dark, mocking, accusing, familiar. His double’s voice laughed through them all, sharper, clearer than the rest.“You can’t run from me, Jace. Even if you tear me apart a thousand times, I’ll still be here. Because I am you.”Jace’s throat burned as he screamed against the crushing weight of shadow. His chains lashed wildly, striking at the dark around him, but the blows met no resistance.The abyss wasn’t matter. It was will. It was hunger. And right now, it was hun

  • Chapter 147: The Hand of the Abyss

    The air split.The colossal hand, black and molten, tore free from the shattered mirror with a roar of stone and shadow. Each claw was longer than Jace’s entire body, dripping with liquid darkness that hissed like acid when it hit the altar. The platform trembled under its weight, cracks spreading like lightning veins beneath their feet.The creatures shrieked, not in triumph now, but in terror. Their frenzy dissolved into chaos, some scattering toward the edges of the abyss, others clawing each other apart in blind panic.The double the perfect, mocking reflection of Jace, stared up at the hand with something almost like reverence. Then, slowly, his grin returned.“Do you see it, Jace?” he whispered. “This is the truth. This is the power waiting for us.”Jace staggered to his knees, clutching his side where blood leaked through his torn shirt. His lungs burned with every breath, his vision swam with heat and shadow, but his eyes never left that hand.The abyss wasn’t just showing pow
