Chapter 148 – The Shattered Storm
The storm did not descend, it consumed. A wall of molten shadow and fractured light surged outward from the Hollow King’s broken form, the ground buckling and shattering beneath its weight.Entire towers, already cracked, were pulverized into dust. The very air tore apart, screaming as if reality itself was being ripped seam by seam.Kael braced, sword raised though his arms trembled. Mira’s grip on him tightened until her nails cut through his skin, and Lyra planted her broken blade into the ground, anchoring herself against the storm.It hit them. The world turned white.Kael’s boots skidded backward, stone shattering beneath him as the sheer force pressed down. His body screamed, his veins burning as the corruption surged wildly, desperate to bend him beneath the Hollow King’s will.He snarled, forcing his eye open against the brilliance. “Mira!” he shouted, voice nearly lost in the hurricane.She answered not with words but with will. Her hands wrapped around his arm, and the bond
Chapter 147 – Shards of the Crown
The first thing Kael felt was weight. Crushing, unbearable weight. Not the kind of weight that pinned the body, but the kind that buried the soul.He clawed his way upward, dragging himself out of darkness that seemed endless, a pit with no bottom. His chest burned. His veins throbbed.And then air. He sucked in a ragged breath, coughing as his body slammed against cold stone. His eye snapped open. The battlefield. Or what was left of it.The ruins of the citadel were nothing more than charred rubble. The once proud spires had collapsed into jagged heaps, and the earth was split with glowing fractures that hissed with lingering godfire.Ash fell like snow. The sky was fractured, great cracks where light and shadow bled through, colliding in storms that made the heavens scream.Kael groaned and rolled onto his side. His body was broken bones cracked, muscles torn. The corruption in his veins had not vanished, but neither had it consumed him. It pulsed faintly, black against the human r
Chapter 146 – In the White Silence
The world had ended. Or so it seemed.Kael’s body was weightless, suspended in a white void that stretched forever in every direction. No ground. No sky. No sound. Only silence, so complete it felt like a living thing pressing against his ears.His chest rose and fell in shallow breaths, each one a reminder that he still existed. Barely.He looked down. His hand gripped Ryven’s sword still, but the blade flickered half crimson flame, half shadow, pulsing like a dying heartbeat.His body was worse: flesh torn and bleeding, patches of blackened corruption crawling across his veins like cracks in glass. He was breaking.Kael closed his eye, forcing the agony down. “Not yet… I’m not done.”When he opened it again, he wasn’t alone. Across the whiteness, a figure walked toward him slow, deliberate, inevitable.Tall, draped in shadowed robes that billowed without wind, crowned in jagged black flame. No face. No eyes. Only the presence, heavy and suffocating.The Hollow King. But not the mons
Chapter 145 – The Shadow of a God
The crater quaked like a living wound. Kael stood in its heart, Ryven’s sword raised, shadows boiling from the fissures in his flesh.Around him, the vessels formed a circle, their kneeling silhouettes outlined in crimson flame. Their chants faded into silence as the Hollow King’s colossal shape began to manifest above them.It was not a man this time.The Hollow King rose like a storm given flesh wings of abyssal fire blotting out the broken sky, a crown of jagged shadow suspended above a faceless head. Each movement shook the battlefield; its very presence crushed the air from Kael’s lungs.Mira clutched his arm, her breath trembling. “Kael, this isn’t like before. It’s… it’s stronger.”He didn’t answer. His human eye burned with determination, while his fractured one pulsed with corruption, both locked on the towering god before him.The Hollow King’s voice thundered through the crater, a sound that shook stone and marrow alike. “You cannot cage what is eternal. You are mine, Hollo
Chapter 144 – The Fractured Throne
The storm of shadow and flame rolled across the crater, painting the night in flickering red and black.Kael stood at its center, Ryven’s sword raised, his corrupted half writhing violently against his human side. The fracture pulsed, a wound and a weapon all at once, feeding power into him even as it screamed for dominance.The vessels circled him, their eyes burning, waiting, kneeling yet ready to strike at the slightest command. Mira clung to his side, trembling. “Kael… you can control them?”He didn’t answer. Instead, he reached deep, letting the fracture flow through his mind, merging his will with theirs. It was intoxicating, terrifying every pulse a test of restraint. Every heartbeat a temptation to let it consume him entirely.The vessels stirred, responding to his mental command. They rose, eyes flaring, fists clenching.“Stay back!” Lyra shouted, charging forward with the resistance at her heels. Her sword blazed white against the red night, cutting through a vessel that lun
Chapter 143 – The Hollow Crown(2)
The silence was unbearable. Kael stood at the center of the scorched crater, chest heaving, ash clinging to his skin. Mira pressed against his side, trembling, her hand gripping his torn shirt as if letting go meant losing him to the abyss all over again.Around them, the vessels knelt dozens, maybe hundreds faces hidden in shadow, their bodies marked with crimson fissures that pulsed like living wounds. Their eyes glowed faintly beneath their hoods, all fixed on Kael.They didn’t move. Didn’t breathe. Didn’t exist as individuals. They were one. And their one voice still hung in the air. All hail the Hollow Crown.Kael’s hand tightened on Ryven’s sword until his palm split, blood dripping into the scorched dirt. “I’m not” His voice cracked, raw. He tried again, louder, desperate. “I’m not your king!”The vessels’ heads lifted in perfect unison. Their glowing eyes locked onto him, empty yet suffocating. And as one, they answered.You are the fracture. The crown is bound to you. You are
