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
Chapter 146: Clash of Shadows (Expanded)
The air on the platform felt wrong.It wasn’t just heavy, it was alive. Each breath Jace pulled into his lungs carried the stench of burning stone, of blood, and of something else he couldn’t name. It pressed on his chest like a weight, daring him to collapse.The creatures circling the edge of the platform hissed in unison, their claws scraping against stone, their glowing red eyes transfixed on him and… the other him. The double. The copy, No, something worse.This thing wore his skin, his scars, his chains, but what radiated from it was not human. It was hunger. Pure, perfected hunger.“Still standing?” the double said, his voice low and resonant, echoing unnaturally in the chamber. The grin he wore wasn’t just cruel, it was familiar. Too familiar.Jace had seen that grin before, in the faces of those who thought him weak, helpless, disposable. Only now, he was staring at it in the mirror of himself. Jace didn’t waste words.With a snap of his wrists, his chains lashed out like thu

Chapter 145: Into the Abyss
The earth wasn’t supposed to move like this.One moment Jace had been standing on solid stone, the ritual chamber glowing with an ominous red hue, the next the entire ground convulsed like a living thing.The world beneath him cracked, groaned, and split open in jagged lines that ran like spiderwebs through the chamber floor, Then the floor simply… gave way.The sound of stone tearing apart drowned everything else. Dust erupted, choking the air. Jace flung his arms outward, his chains whipping into jagged walls like grappling hooks.Sparks shot from the impact as the black steel bit deep into the rock, slowing his descent, But the abyss wasn’t just a hole. It pulsed.A terrible red glow seeped from the depths, beating like the pulse of some colossal, buried heart. Jace’s teeth rattled in his skull as he tried to stabilize himself, his breath ripped from his lungs by the sudden drop.He had fallen before. He had been cornered before. But nothing felt like this, like the entire world ha
Chapter 144: The Storm of Chains
The cavern shuddered like the heartbeat of some ancient beast. Dust rained down from the jagged ceiling, stones cracking under the pressure of thousands of barbed chains converging at once. Their screech filled the darkness, a sound of hunger and judgment.Jace stood at the cavern’s center, chest heaving, blood soaking his shirt, chains flickering like a dying flame. His knees trembled, but his eyes did not waver from Adrian, who sat enthroned in the black iron monstrosity, its barbs glowing like a crown of fire around his head.Adrian’s laughter reverberated off the obsidian walls. His voice was deeper now, layered, almost inhuman. “Do you feel it, brother? The weight of a thousand debts, all older than kingdoms, older than crowns. This is their womb… and it has chosen me.”The storm of chains shrieked as they descended.Jace gritted his teeth, raising his arms. His white-hot chains burst outward, wrapping into a desperate shield. The first wave of barbed iron slammed into it with an
Chapter 143: Chains of Blood
The explosion ripped through the ruins, a sunburst of fire and chains. Shards of marble and molten gold scattered like shrapnel, raining destruction across the hollowed city block.Windows shattered in distant towers, alarms blared, and the ground itself cracked from the force.Jace and Adrian were hurled apart, their bodies crashing through debris. Jace rolled across broken stone, coughing blood, his right arm dangling uselessly where Adrian’s chain had torn through flesh. His vision swam, ears ringing, but the white fire in his chest refused to let him fall.Adrian stood opposite, smoke rising from his shoulders, his black chains writhing like serpents. His grin was gone, replaced by a mask of fury and disbelief.“You shouldn’t have that power,” Adrian snarled, voice reverberating with something inhuman. “It was never yours!”Jace staggered to his feet, chains coiling around him like armor, every link glowing white-hot. His body trembled from blood loss, his wounds raw and screaming
