CHAPTER 196
Jeffery's eyes snapped open. The cell around him was silent again, but his pulse thundered like war drums. The voice had been faint—yet too clear to dismiss as imagination.Aadam. That man was here a few moments ago.He rose shakily, gripping the bars. The chill of the metal seeped into his palms as he whispered under his breath, "You're alive... and you're calling me?"No answer. Only the slow drip of water from the ceiling.But deep inside, his Ether stirred—faint ripples moving through his weakened meridians. Something had brushed against his consciousness, something vast and suffocating.He was just here, he thought within himself. I heard him speak to me... to my consciousness... he was here...He shut his eyes, trying to trace the echo. But before he could, pain shot through his temples. He gasped, clutching his head. Visions bled into his mind—flashes of an endless void, of a throne made of shadow, and a figure standing before it.Aadam.But it wasn't the man he once knew. The
CHAPTER 195
The cell was cold. Too cold and damp. Every sound echoed—the faint drip of water, the scratch of chains, the distant murmur of guards outside.Jeffery sat in silence, his back against the wall. His coat had been taken, his arm still wrapped in torn fabric. The faint traces of the woman's healing Qi still pulsed within him, keeping him alive—but only barely.I can't believe I allowed all this to happen, he thought within himself. I caused everything that happened this night...His mind replayed the night over and over. The explosion. The voices. The crater. And those words—Oblivion's Heir. And he blamed himself for everything that had happened.If he had controlled himself back then and not felt humiliated by Aadam, he wouldn't have kicked him. And if he hadn't kicked Aadam, making the security guards to send him out, then he wouldn't have found the Dark Stone to begin with.If any of this hadn't happen, the Prescotts would have still been alive. The Dark Stone would still be lost and
CHAPTER 194
The night was cold again. Too quiet.Jeffery had watched as the mysterious woman vanished into the dark forest, every sign of her presence erased.As he felt himself becoming healed he couldn't help but ponder everything she had said. Oblivion's Heir? What is the meaning of that? And why is she really helping me to begin with?He then began wondering who this woman really was. He had never met her before. He had never even heard about her. Just who was she?He didn't have the chance to complete his thoughts because at that moment the echo of sirens broke through the forest's stillness as beams of white and blue light cut through the mist. Leaves rustled under polished boots; voices murmured in confusion and disbelief.He had wanted to leave before anyone arrived. But it was too late now. His biggest fear was now coming to fruition. People were arriving faster than he had anticipated. There was no way he was going to escape now.Dozens of people had arrived—cops, estate security, and t
CHAPTER 193
Darkness. Only darkness.That was all there was at first—thick, suffocating darkness that clung to Jeffery's lungs and mind like smoke. His heartbeat was faint, uneven, echoing somewhere deep inside his skull. Every breath burned, every pulse screamed exhaustion.And it didn't just stop there. The exhaustion affected not just his physical body but his entire being. His meridians and Dantian seemed as if they were going to be destroyed while his soul kept wavering. As if it would be snuffed out of his body in no time.Ugh... he groaned, feeling the agonizing pain which couldn't be described in human words. I... need... to...He didn't know how long he'd been lying there. How long he had been unconscious. The world around him was still—a graveyard of scroched soil, shattered trees, and lifeless bodies. The scent of iron, ash, and ozone hung heavy in the air.I... need to open my eyes, he grunted inwardly as he struggled to move his eyelids. They seemed very heavy as if something was wei
CHAPTER 192
The air still burned, the atmosphere scorching under the impact of the powerful forces clashing within in.Mist rolled like a living thing, heavy with the scent of scorched bark and iron. The night wind carried embers through the trees—dying stars flickering above the ruin. The earth itself groaned, veins of of violet light crawling through its cracks like the pulse of something buried but not dead.I failed the world... Jeffery thought within himself as he stood in the middle of it all, coat torn, breath sharp and ragged. I failed to utilize Ether the way I was thought by my ancestor, Lukas..."Ugh..." he groaned, feeling the etching pain within his right arm. It was trembling uncontrollably, still humming from overusing Ether. The crater before him glowed faintly, the mark of the Dark Stone's awakening.All this destruction... he grit his teeth as he clenched his fists. It's all because of me... all because of my actions... all because I failed...And then—footsteps.Boots crunching
CHAPTER 191
The forest screamed violently. Wind tore through the trees like the breath of an ancient god, flogging branches and stones aside. Black lightning coiled through the mist, crashing against the veins of gold light that carved fissures across the night.The world was unraveling. And at its center—three men stood between creation and destruction."Let's see how the two of you are going to take me down!" Aadam yelled as he clenched his fists. "The both of you are no match for me at all! I possess powers which you cannot comprehend!"He hovered above the ground, eyes burning like twin shards of amethyst flame. Nether surged through him like a living thing—noy power, but possession. The Dark Stone, fused into his chest, pulsed violently with each heartbeat, a rhythm that seemed to mock the world's own.This power is really terrifying... Jeffery Flamel thought within his heart. But I can't run away right now... I feel this is the reason I given this power... to help humanity... I need to use
