Chapter 141 – The Hollow Crown
The abyss did not breathe. The chains were still. The fires that once raged in the pit guttered out, leaving only the low crackle of molten stone. A silence hung so heavy that even Mira’s ragged breaths seemed too loud, as though sound itself feared to move.Kael’s grip on Ryven’s sword trembled. The blade still burned, but dimly, the flame faltering as if it too were stunned by what now stood before them.The Hollow King’s towering form was gone. In its place, rising from the cracked stone, was a figure no taller than Kael himself. Human shaped. But not human.Its body was forged of shadow and light both, fissures glowing crimson across pale, almost flesh like skin. Fragments of the jagged crown floated above its head, orbiting slowly like broken moons.The face was half covered in darkness, half bared enough for Kael to see lips curved in a smile that chilled him to the bone.The figure tilted its head, as if testing the limits of its neck. When it spoke, the voice was smooth, almos
Chapter 140 – Chains of the Abyss
The storm fell. Chains screamed down like a rain of black steel, thousands of them arcing from every corner of the abyss, each one tipped with jagged hooks burning with abyssal flame.They filled the air so completely that for a heartbeat, there was no sky, no stone, no light, only blades.Kael roared, Ryven’s sword igniting in a flood of white flame. He spun, cleaving through the first wave, each strike spraying sparks and molten fragments of shadow.Mira thrust her hands upward, light exploding from her palms, forming a barrier that spread in a wide dome around them. The first impact hit like a mountain.Chains crashed into the barrier, each strike cracking the dome, shattering light into a million shards. Mira screamed as blood poured from her nose, her body convulsing with the strain of holding.Kael threw himself against the torrent, hacking wildly, the flame of his sword blinding in the darkness. But for every chain cut, ten more took its place.The Hollow King’s voice rumbled f
Chapter 139 – The Break in the Chains
The pit convulsed like a living thing. When Kael’s blade tore through the fracture, flame erupted in a blazing arc that carved across the Hollow King’s domain. The cavern howled, stone splitting as torrents of shadow writhed away from the searing light.The Hollow King recoiled with a roar that split the air, its towering frame staggering backward, jagged crown sparking as fissures of crimson light tore across its form.Mira gasped, the chains crushing her chest slackening for the first time. She collapsed to both knees, clutching at the ground, her vision blurring from the sudden rush of air back into her lungs.Through the storm of shadow and fire, Kael stepped into the pit.He was barely standing. His armor was shattered, his body battered and broken, blood streaking across his face.Yet his human eye blazed like a furnace, and the flame of Ryven’s sword burned steady in his hand. Each step he took shook the pit, his presence carving a path of light through the suffocating darkness
Chapter 138 – Chains of the Hollow
The pit howled like a wounded beast. The clash of Mira’s searing light against the Hollow King’s abyssal darkness shook the cavern apart, veins of crimson energy splitting open across the walls.The chained prisoners writhed, their voices a dreadful harmony of agony and awe as they were pulled tighter into the vortex of power.Mira’s body was screaming with pain. Every nerve felt aflame, her skin cracked with fissures of light as if she were burning from the inside.Her knees buckled, her breath came in ragged gasps, but her eyes blazed unyielding as she stood against the monstrous silhouette of the Hollow King.The thing’s form rippled, its jagged glass crown shattering and reforming in endless rhythm. Its voice dripped across the cavern, thick as tar.“You carry a flame that was not meant to burn here. A mistake. An intrusion. I will unmake it.”Its arm swept forward, a wall of shadows surging toward Mira. She thrust both hands out, a desperate cry tearing from her throat as her uns
Chapter 137 – The Hollow King’s Whisper
The light she had unleashed guttered like a storm-tossed flame. It flickered across the cavern, scattering shadows but failing to erase them. Instead, the dark writhed back, rippling like oil disturbed on water, tightening its grip on the chained figures.Their screams rose in a shrill, ragged chorus, echoing against the living walls.Mira staggered, clutching her chest. The flare of power had left her trembling, her veins still burning as if molten fire ran through them. She dropped to one knee, panting, her fingers digging into the strange breathing stone.“Unclean…” The voice hissed from every direction at once. “Unshaped. Incomplete.”The ground beneath her convulsed. Veins of black fire split open, spewing ash that seared the air. The chained prisoners writhed in agony as the shadows wrapped tighter around them, twisting their bodies further.The man who had spoken to her earlier jerked violently as his chains pulled taut. His eyes widened in sudden terror. “It’s coming.”Mira’s
Chapter 136 – The Shattered Path
Mira gasped awake. Her body slammed against hard stone, the impact jolting fire through her ribs. She coughed violently, black liquid spilling from her mouth, the taste of ash and metal burning her throat.For a moment she could not breathe, could not think. Then memory struck like lightning. The tether. The void. Kael’s hand slipping from hers.Her scream tore from her chest, raw and jagged. She clawed at the air as if she could still reach him, but her fingers closed around nothing. The silence where his presence had always been was unbearable, like a limb torn from her soul.Mira curled in on herself, shaking, every nerve screaming in grief. But then she felt it. A whisper. A flicker. The faintest echo of his heartbeat, buried deep, distant, but there. Not gone. Not erased.She dragged in a ragged breath, forcing herself upright. Her surroundings came into focus a cavern, if it could be called that.The walls pulsed faintly with veins of sickly light, shadows writhing in their crac
