Chapter 154 – The Cage Within
The fire did not burn. It consumed. Kael’s body dangled in the chains of golden-black light, his limbs jerking as every nerve screamed.The molten blaze swallowed him whole, yet no ash fell. Instead, the flame tore deeper, past muscle, past bone, reaching into what lay beneath. His soul rattled like glass under a hammer.A voice threaded through the agony. Smooth. Patient. Absolute. “Do not fight. You were never meant to be whole.”Kael gasped, his throat raw. “I… am… not… yours.”The fire surged in answer, pouring into him until his chest convulsed. His vision blurred, and the battlefield vanished. The heat was gone, the chains gone replaced by darkness. A darkness vast and endless.And there, suspended like stars, were fragments. Shards of light and shadow, scattered across the void, circling him. Each shard pulsed with a heartbeat that was not his own.Each whispered fragments of thought, overlapping voices clawing at the edges of his mind. Bend. Break. Yield. Become.He staggered.
Chapter 153 – The Throne Unbroken
The crown pulsed. One heartbeat, and the battlefield ceased to exist as it had. The broken earth collapsed inward, swallowed by concentric waves of golden-black fire.The air shivered like glass on the edge of breaking, every breath searing lungs raw. Soldiers on both sides clutched their heads, blood streaming from their eyes as the soundless resonance tore through them.Kael dropped his sword. It clanged against the fractured stone, dimming, almost extinguished. His body slumped forward before Mira caught him, arms wrapping around his shoulders.Her light flared weakly, a candle against the storm. “Stay with me,” she begged, her voice breaking. “Kael, don’t you dare leave me now!”His lips moved. Nothing came out. Only a faint tremor in his chest. His human eye rolled weakly toward her, barely conscious, but even then his gaze held one thing defiance.Lyra staggered to her feet, her own shadow-fire blade cracked in half, black smoke seeping from her wounds.She stared at the hoverin
Chapter 152 – Shattered Crowns
The black-gold beam tore the world apart. Stone, sky, even time itself seemed to unravel as the force roared forward.The battlefield’s ruins crumbled into dust, sucked into the torrent like fragile ash. Entire ridges folded inward, spiraling into the singularity at its heart.Kael did not move. His sword pulsed violently in his grip, light and shadow tearing at each other, begging to be unleashed.Mira’s hand locked on his arm, her power rushing into him, anchoring him to reality. Lyra stepped to his other side, her blade trembling but raised, her stance daring the impossible.The heirs screamed as one. The crowns blazed hotter, feeding the annihilating stream. Kael roared and swung.The impact was not sound. It was an unmaking. His fractured sword met the beam, light and shadow colliding with black-gold fire in an explosion that tore across the battlefield.The ground disintegrated beneath them, soldiers on both sides screaming as they were ripped away into nothingness.Mira cried o
Chapter 151 – The First Flame’s Heirs
The light that swallowed the battlefield was not salvation. It was hunger.It tore across the ruins in waves, burning not flesh but memory shredding every soul-thread it touched. Soldiers who had survived the clash between Hollow and Radiant screamed once before being reduced to silhouettes of smoke.The earth itself blistered, carved into black glass. Kael stood at the center, sword braced, Mira’s hand locked around his. The blaze did not consume them. Instead, it circled, testing, like a predator choosing when to strike.The skeletal figures stepped fully into the world. There were three. Each moved as if their bones remembered shapes of majesty they no longer possessed.Their crowns were jagged arcs of broken fire, fused into skulls that still bore faint, indistinguishable etchings of kingship. Wings of fragmented shards twitched with every motion, each beat scattering waves of destructive resonance.The Hollow King reeled back, shadows streaming from its frame like blood. For the
Chapter 150 – The Rift’s Hunger
The earth screamed. The sword’s impact had not merely split stone, it had ruptured reality itself. Cracks lanced outward in a spiderweb, glowing veins of molten gold and shadowed black tearing across the battlefield.The storm of crown shards convulsed in the sky, no longer suspended in harmony but thrashing violently, torn between three masters: the Hollow King, the Radiant Crown bearer, and Kael.The rift widened. From its depths came not flame nor shadow, but something older. A sound like grinding teeth and whispering voices echoed up, clawing at the edges of the soul.Kael staggered back, his sword still buried in the ground, its blade glowing like a searing brand. Mira clutched his arm, her eyes wide with terror. “Kael… what did you do?”“I” His voice cracked, drowned beneath the roar of the collapsing battlefield. “I couldn’t choose. I won’t be their pawn!”Lyra’s voice cut through the chaos. “Then you’ve unleashed something worse!”The rift split wider, belching black-gold fire
Chapter 149 – The Crown’s First Flame
The battlefield was silent. Not the silence of peace, but the suffocating silence of awe. The storm of shards hung suspended midair, frozen in place, their edges glinting with predatory hunger.Even the Hollow King faltered, its fractured body trembling beneath the weight of what had risen from the light.Kael staggered, his sword shaking in his grip. Mira clutched his arm, eyes locked on the radiant figure emerging from the crack. Lyra’s breath caught, her knuckles whitening as she tightened her hold on her broken blade.The figure rose fully now, towering over the ruins. Its form blazed with golden fire, every line of its body etched in radiance that shifted like molten metal.Its face was obscured, neither man nor god, only the suggestion of features carved in light. Upon its brow hovered the outline of a crown, not broken, not shattered, but whole.The Hollow King recoiled. The fractures in its body pulsed wildly, its voice losing its terrible certainty. “Impossible… You were undo
