Chapter 183: The Last Stand
Ayla’s heart hammered in her chest as the creature lunged toward them with unimaginable speed. She had no time to think, only react. The world around her moved in slow motion as she watched the monstrous figure barreling toward them, its jagged claws ready to tear through them both.The stranger, blood still oozing from his wound, stepped in front of Ayla, holding his ground with the last of his strength. His breathing was shallow, but his grip on his daggers was steady, his body poised for the fight of his life.“No,” Ayla cried out, grabbing his arm. “You’re hurt! You can’t”But the stranger’s face was set in grim determination. “You’ll need to fight, too. I’m not your savior. You are.”Before she could protest further, the creature was upon them. Its speed and strength were unmatched, and the shockwave of its movement knocked Ayla off her feet. She crashed to the floor, her vision spinning for a moment. But before she could collect herself, the stranger was already in the fray.His
Chapter 182: The Cost of Survival
Ayla’s heart pounded in her chest, her breath ragged as the smoke from the explosions swirled around them. The creature's monstrous form was staggering, but not yet defeated. Its howls reverberated through the air, a chilling reminder of the nightmare they were trapped in. Zara's lifeless body was a stark image in her mind, a face she’d never see again.The shadowed figure, the one who had saved her life, was now at her side. His presence was like an anchor in the chaos, but the question on her lips remained unanswered. Who was he? And why was he here?“Get up!” The stranger’s voice cut through her grief-stricken haze. He grabbed her arm, hauling her to her feet with surprising strength. “We can’t waste time. We have to finish this before it’s too late.”Ayla’s mind was spinning, the weight of Zara’s death still suffocating her. But there was no room for weakness now. No time for mourning. They were in the middle of a battle for survival, and if she didn’t fight, she would end up like
Chapter 181: Death Day
The world around Ayla dissolved into darkness, and for a moment, she thought she had lost consciousness. The sound of the creature’s growls, its blood-curdling roars, filled her ears. The air was thick with the scent of decay, of ancient darkness that clung to the very walls of the temple. Her body was frozen, too stunned by the force of the creature's presence to move.Zara’s frantic breathing was the only thing that reminded Ayla she wasn’t alone. She forced her eyes open, squinting into the suffocating shadows. She could barely make out the creature, its hulking form emerging from the green mist that poured from the cracks in the floor. Its eyes were like burning coals, glinting with a feral hunger."We need to run!" Ayla shouted over the noise, though she knew it was futile. The creature was too fast, too powerful. They wouldn’t escape this.Zara nodded, her eyes wide with terror. "Where? There’s no way out!"Ayla scanned the chamber. The walls were closing in, the floor trembling
Chapter 180: The Keeper's Trap
The words hung in the air like a heavy fog, thick with menace. "The keeper of what's below." Ayla's pulse quickened, and her grip tightened on her gun. She wanted to draw it, but there was something in the man’s calm demeanor that told her this wasn’t a fight she could win with violence alone.Zara stood frozen next to her, her breath shallow, eyes wide with disbelief. The man before them wasn’t just some stranger; he was a part of this temple, part of whatever force had been stirring beneath their feet. And they had just unwittingly walked right into his domain."You’ve been searching for answers," the man continued, his voice carrying a sinister smoothness, as though each word was calculated for maximum impact. "But the truth, my dear, is far darker than you ever imagined."Ayla narrowed her eyes, stepping forward. "Who are you? And what the hell is this place?" She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, her body on high alert. The tension in the air was suffocating, each breat
Chapter 179: The Ancient Truth
The eerie silence in the chamber was deafening. Ayla and Zara were pressed against the cold stone, their ragged breathing the only sound in the otherwise still air. The creature was still below them, snarling and clawing at the walls, but it could do nothing now but wait. They were safe, at least for the moment.But neither of them felt safe.Ayla gritted her teeth against the pain in her side, her hand pressed firmly against the wound. The blood was slow to stop, but she couldn’t afford to let it slow her down. There was still too much to do, too many questions to answer. How had the creature found them? Why had it attacked? And most importantly, what the hell was it?Zara, still gripping the ledge above her, glanced at Ayla, her expression tight with anxiety. “Are you okay?”“I’m fine,” Ayla snapped, although she could feel the weakness creeping in. She forced herself to sit up straighter, ignoring the pulse of pain. “We can’t stay here. We need to move.”Zara nodded, but she didn’t
Chapter 178: The Beast Below
The growl echoed in the tunnel like a distant storm rolling in. Ayla’s pulse quickened as her eyes locked onto the creature that loomed in front of them. It wasn’t human, and it wasn’t anything Ayla had ever encountered in her years of combat. This was something primal, something born from the shadows beneath the earth itself.Zara, her hand trembling as she held her gun, whispered, “What is that thing?”Ayla’s mind raced, but there was no time to analyze the situation. The creature was getting closer, its massive form blocking the path forward. Its glowing green eyes pierced through the darkness, as though it could see into their very souls. Its breath was ragged, almost mechanical, as though it were something more than just a beast.Ayla motioned for Zara to stay quiet and slow her breathing. They needed a plan, but there was no time to formulate one. The creature lunged forward, its claws scraping against the stone walls as it reached for them with unnatural speed.Without thinking
