Chapter 54 – The Third Shadow
The sky was breaking. Every soul in the city looked up, frozen beneath the rain of chains that screamed like falling blades.The rift above gaped wider, tearing the heavens apart. Fire bled into blackness, and blackness pulsed like a living heart.Jeffrey’s knees buckled beneath him. He was slick with blood, barely standing, his sword trembling in his hand. His vision was ash and fire, but his instincts screamed what his mind refused to accept.This wasn’t over. It had never been about the Doppelgänger or the Beast. They were gatekeepers. And the true horror was still behind the door.“The heir has awakened. The seals are broken.”The voice rolled through the city like an earthquake, rattling windows, shaking steel, making children scream and soldiers drop their guns.Camilla stopped mid-run, clutching her ears as blood streamed from her nose. Her body crumpled, but still her lips formed his name.Jeffrey staggered toward her, each step tearing his muscles raw. He reached her in time t
Chapter 53 – The Ashen Veil
The world was fire. Jeffrey’s lungs burned, his skin flayed by molten air. Darkness pressed in from all sides, pierced only by violent flashes of red and white.He tried to move. His body didn’t respond. Then, voices. Whispers, endless, writhing. They slithered through the inferno, caressing his skull like smoke.Child of flame. Son of ash. You are not broken. You are becoming. Jeffrey’s eyes snapped open. He wasn’t in the courtyard anymore. He wasn’t anywhere human.The ground beneath him was charred bone. The sky above was a ceiling of fire, cracking, bleeding light. Chains hung down from nothing, rattling with no wind, stretching into infinity.And between them, two shadows. The Doppelgänger. The Beast. Alive. Waiting. The Doppelgänger loomed, his molten form reduced but no less menacing, heat dripping from his limbs. His eyes burned, twin suns locked on Jeffrey.The Beast crouched opposite, its body darker than void, its eyes two smoldering embers. Chains slithered from its skin,
Chapter 52 – Chains of the Abyss
The giant’s grip was closing. Jeffrey’s ribs buckled, vision tunneling, blood rising in his throat. The Doppelgänger’s molten fist was a coffin, searing, suffocating, inevitable. And then came the chains.They tore up from the fractured earth, red-hot and clanging, each link thick as a carriage wheel. They coiled around the titan’s arms, burning into molten flesh, dragging him backward toward the yawning abyss below.The Doppelgänger howled, his colossal body thrashing as though hooked by the hands of hell itself. And then, from that abyss, eyes ignited. Twin infernos, vast and hungry. The beast.The same abomination Jeffrey had chained in the underworld, the same monster he had bled and broken to prove his dominion, alive, reborn, hungrier than ever. Its roar split the heavens.The Doppelgänger reeled, momentarily distracted, and his grip slackened just enough for Jeffrey to gasp a ragged breath.Pain lanced through every bone in his chest, but he forced his arm to move, his blade to
Chapter 51 – Inferno Ascending
The sky was on fire. Not the scattered glow of burning rooftops or the desperate flicker of torchlight, but a living blaze that swallowed the heavens whole.The Doppelgänger, now a colossal infernal titan, towered above the Goodman manor. His molten limbs stretched wide, dripping rivers of fire that scorched streets, melted stone, and sent entire neighborhoods crumbling into ash. The city screamed beneath him.And on the fractured courtyard stone, Jeffrey Goodman stood alone, fire wreathing his shoulders like a mantle, his broken blade glowing like the heart of a dying star. He tilted his head up, eyes burning gold. “Then let’s finish this.”The infernal giant moved first. Its arm swept down, a molten hammer meant to crush Jeffrey and the manor in one strike. The impact split the ground, sending shockwaves that toppled walls and threw men screaming into the air.But Jeffrey was already moving. He leapt skyward, fire propelling him like a comet, and met the giant’s strike head-on. His
Chapter 50 – Fire and Shadow
The fire swallowed him whole. Jeffrey’s scream was drowned in the roar of molten flame. It seared his skin, clawed down his throat, boiled the blood in his veins.His body should have disintegrated instantly, reduced to ash, yet something deep within him refused. The beast’s voice thundered through the inferno. “Die, Goodman. Die as your father should have.”Jeffrey’s vision blurred. The broken blade slipped from his fingers. His knees buckled. And in that moment, between life and death, a shadow moved.It wasn’t the beast. It wasn’t the chained remnants. It was something else, darker, older, sharper than fire. A voice that coiled inside his skull.Stand, heir. This fire is not your enemy. It is your birthright. Jeffrey’s eyes snapped open, his pupils contracting to slits.The flames that should have consumed him bent, spiraled, and wrapped around him instead. They didn’t burn, they bled into him, stitching wounds closed, filling his lungs with power.The beast roared in fury. “Imposs
Chapter 49 – Into the Inferno
The fall felt endless. Jeffrey’s body plummeted through darkness that wasn’t just absence of light, it was alive, pressing against him, whispering with the voices of the damned.Heat licked his skin, ash burned his throat, and his ears roared with the sound of a thousand unseen wings. He slammed against stone, hard enough to break a lesser man.Agony shot through his ribs, but he forced himself to breathe, coughing blood and dust. The world around him glowed dimly, an underground chasm lit by rivers of molten fire that ran like veins beneath the earth.He wasn’t dead. Not yet. And from the shadows, something laughed.It was low, guttural, echoing through the cavern. “Finally,” it rasped. “The heir of Goodman returns to the place where his blood belongs.”Jeffrey staggered to his feet, his broken blade still clutched in his burned hand. “Show yourself.”From the fire, shapes emerged. Twisted figures with skin of stone and eyes like coals. Chains rattled across their bodies. The smell o
