2026-08-04 22:02:12The crimson crystal hovered above the Guardian's enormous skeletal palm.
It pulsed like a living heart.
With every beat, Kael felt the blood in his own veins respond.
Thump...
Thump...
Thump...
The entire valley echoed with the same rhythm.
The Guardian remained kneeling, its massive head bowed before him.
"The... Heart... of... Kings..."
"It... belongs... to... the... heir..."
Kael slowly reached out.
The moment his fingertips touched the crystal—
BOOM!
A blinding crimson light engulfed the valley.
Kael felt as if his body had been torn apart.
Every bone cracked.
Every muscle burned.
His blood seemed to boil inside his veins.
He screamed.
"AAAHHHH!"
The crystal dissolved into countless streams of crimson energy and rushed into his chest.
Ancient runes appeared across his arms.
The mark on his palm spread all the way to his shoulder before fading beneath his skin.
Then...
Silence.
Kael opened his eyes.
Everything looked different.
He could hear the heartbeat of the valley.
He could sense the flow of energy beneath the earth.
Even the crimson mist now seemed alive.
"What... happened to me?"
A calm voice answered from behind him.
"You have accepted the First Inheritance."
The spirit of the First Blood Sovereign appeared once more.
"The Heart of Kings recognizes only a true heir."
Kael clenched his fists.
Power surged through his body.
Not wild.
Not uncontrollable.
It obeyed him.
The old man smiled.
"Your body is still weak."
"But your bloodline has begun to awaken."
He raised one finger.
"In every generation, a Blood Sovereign receives seven inheritances."
"The Heart of Kings is only the first."
"The remaining six are scattered across the world."
Kael looked at his glowing hands.
"If I find them all..."
"You will stand where your father once stood."
The old man's smile faded.
"Or surpass him."
Before Kael could respond—
A deafening roar shook the heavens.
The crimson clouds split apart.
A monstrous shadow descended from the sky.
The Guardian immediately stood and drew its colossal sword.
It no longer faced Kael.
It faced the newcomer.
The creature landed with a catastrophic impact.
The earth collapsed beneath its weight.
Dust filled the air.
When it finally settled...
Kael's breath caught.
It was a beast unlike anything he had ever seen.
Its body resembled a lion, but black scales covered its muscles instead of fur.
Six enormous crimson wings stretched across the valley.
Its tail ended in a spear-like blade.
Most terrifying of all...
It had three heads.
Each pair of glowing eyes radiated overwhelming malice.
The First Blood Sovereign's expression darkened.
"Abyssal Chimera..."
"It escaped the lower seal."
One of the beast's heads laughed.
Another snarled.
The third spoke in a voice that echoed like thunder.
"So..."
"The Blood Sovereign's heir still lives."
Kael instinctively stepped backward.
"You... know me?"
The Chimera grinned.
"I know your blood."
"I drank enough of it during the Great War."
Rage surged through Kael.
"My family..."
The monster interrupted him.
"Your ancestors fought well."
"But in the end..."
"They all died screaming."
Before Kael could react, the Guardian roared and charged.
Its colossal sword cleaved toward the Chimera.
The beast caught the blade in one claw.
CRACK!
The Guardian's legendary sword shattered.
Kael's eyes widened.
Impossible.
The Guardian had seemed invincible.
The Chimera's middle head smiled cruelly.
"Weak."
With one swipe of its claw, it struck the Guardian.
The gigantic skeleton flew across the valley, smashing through several mountains before disappearing beneath tons of rock.
The valley fell silent.
The Chimera slowly turned all three heads toward Kael.
"There is no Guardian left to protect you."
The First Blood Sovereign stepped in front of Kael.
Although only a spirit, his eyes blazed with determination.
"You will not touch him."
The Chimera laughed.
"You cannot stop me."
"I know."
The old man replied calmly.
"But I can buy him time."
He looked back at Kael.
"Listen carefully."
"There is a hidden shrine beneath the northern cliffs."
"Run."
"Inside lies the second trial."
"You must not look back."
Kael hesitated.
"What about you?"
The old man smiled warmly.
"My duty ended a thousand years ago."
"Your journey..."
"...is only beginning."
The Chimera roared and unleashed a torrent of black flames.
The spirit of the First Blood Sovereign raised both hands.
Crimson light burst from his transparent body, forming a gigantic barrier between Kael and the monster.
"GO!"
Kael's heart felt heavy.
Everything in him wanted to stay and fight.
But he knew he would only die.
Tears filled his eyes as he turned and ran toward the northern cliffs.
Behind him...
A devastating explosion shook the entire valley.
The crimson barrier shattered.
The sky turned black.
And the First Blood Sovereign's final battle began.

CHAPTER 50: JUDGEMENT OF THE WATCHERS
The golden light descended from the heavens.It was brighter than the sun.Brighter than the stars.Even the World Tree bowed beneath its radiance.Kael instinctively shielded his eyes.The Hollow King, however, remained standing.His expression was calm.Almost... resigned.“You came sooner than I expected.”The light gathered into seven towering figures.Each was cloaked in robes woven from living starlight.Their faces were hidden behind golden masks.Their presence alone made the First Realm tremble.Kael felt his soul grow heavy.These beings were unlike anything he had ever encountered.Not even the Seven Sovereigns possessed such overwhelming authority.One of the figures stepped forward.Its voice echoed through every branch of the World Tree.“Hollow King.”“Your exile has ended.”The Hollow King smiled faintly.“No.”“It has only begun.”Kael looked from the Watchers to the Hollow King.“You know each other.”One of the Watchers turned toward him.“We created him.”Silence.
CHAPTER 49: THE WORLD BEFORE TIME
Darkness.Then...Light.Kael slowly opened his eyes.He was standing in a vast meadow covered with silver grass that stretched beyond the horizon. Above him, there was no sun, no moon, and no stars. Instead, enormous rivers of light flowed across the sky like living constellations.The air was peaceful.Too peaceful.There was no trace of the Hollow King’s corruption.No scent of death.No hatred.Only silence.“So...”A calm voice echoed behind him.“What do you think of my home?”Kael turned.The Hollow King stood several metres away, no longer wearing his black robes. Instead, he wore simple white clothing, looking less like an ancient destroyer and more like an ordinary traveller.“You brought me here.”The Hollow King nodded.“Yes.”“Where is this place?”The ancient ruler smiled.“The First Realm.”“The birthplace of all worlds.”Kael’s eyes widened.“The First Realm...”“I thought it was only a legend.”“So did everyone after it was erased.”The Hollow King began walking throu
CHAPTER 48: THE HOLLOW KING'S INVITATION
The moment the Sixth Inheritance merged with Kael’s soul...The world went silent.No wind.No thunder.Even time itself seemed to pause.The six rings surrounding the Blood Sovereign Mark shone together, creating an ancient symbol that had not appeared in thousands of years.The First Sovereign, still beneath the Black Citadel, suddenly looked toward the heavens.His normally calm face filled with disbelief.“It has appeared...”Malachar looked at him.“What has?”“The Crest of the True Sovereign.”Far away at the Shrine of Storms, Kael stared at the glowing mark on his hand.Blue lightning circled around him without causing harm.The winds obeyed his every thought.He could feel every storm across the continent.Every raindrop.Every gust of wind.Every flash of lightning.The Sixth Inheritance had connected him to the skies themselves.Aurel watched in amazement.“I have studied the Seven Sovereigns all my life.”“I have never seen anything like this.”Tharos smiled.“Because it ha
CHAPTER 47: THE TEMPEST DRAGON
The corrupted Tempest Dragon spread its colossal wings.A single beat sent hurricanes tearing across the floating mountains.Lightning rained from the heavens.The Shrine of Storms groaned as ancient pillars collapsed one after another.Raijin lowered his head.His proud voice carried sorrow.“For ten thousand years...”“I guarded the Heart of the Tempest.”“And in one moment...”“I have failed.”Kael stepped beside the ancient guardian.“No.”Raijin looked at him.“This wasn’t your failure.”“It was Varyn’s.”The old wolf studied Kael for a long moment.Then he smiled.“You truly are different from the kings who came before.”High above them, the Tempest Dragon released a deafening roar.ROOOOOOAR!The sound alone shattered nearby mountain peaks.The dragon’s crimson eyes locked onto Kael.Then it spoke.“I know your scent.”Kael frowned.“You can speak?”“I remember every Blood Sovereign.”Its enormous head lowered until it was only metres away.“I remember your father.”Kael’s grip
CHAPTER 46: THE KING OF STORMS
The Tower of Thunder rose into the heavens.It pierced the black clouds like a spear forged by the gods.Lightning struck its sides every few seconds, yet the ancient structure remained untouched.At its summit floated the corrupted Heart of the Tempest.Each beat of the crystal sent waves of black lightning across the continent.Kael looked upward.“I’ll climb alone.”Selene immediately stepped forward.“No.”Kael smiled faintly.“This is the Sixth Trial.”“If we all go...”“The shrine may reject us.”Tharos nodded.“He speaks the truth.”“The Storm Sovereign chooses only one challenger.”Selene reluctantly lowered her sword.“Then come back.”Kael looked into her eyes.“I will.”The first step onto the tower sent a surge of electricity through Kael’s body.His muscles tightened.Pain raced through every nerve.Yet he continued climbing.Step after step.Higher and higher.The storm seemed determined to throw him back into the abyss.Suddenly...A bolt of lightning struck directly in
