Chapter 258 Her Gift
last update2025-10-09 06:28:56

Marwan woke up early, performed the Fajr prayer, and secretly went to his fiancée Maria's house. As usual, he hesitated, unsure whether to ring the doorbell or throw a pebble. And, as usual, Maria was already awake, waiting by the window. The moment she saw him, she immediately came down.

She greeted him with a quick hug, then asked how he was. He told her he was fine, hiding his injury and what had happened to him because he didn't want her to worry. After they talked for a while and he made sure she was okay, he had to leave.

She asked him to wait for a few seconds and hurried to her room. He waited for a few minutes before she returned, slightly out of breath. She handed him a gift in a box. He thanked her for the gift shyly; it was the first time he had ever received a gift from her, and he had wanted to be the one to give her something first, but the circumstances had never allowed him to even think about it.

He said goodbye with another hug, longer this time, and then disappeare

  • Chapter 298 Eternal War

    The Black Knight panted, his breath ragged with exhaustion. He had finally defeated his foe. The monster's body lay at his feet before dissolving into a wisp of dark mist.The battle was over. His knees buckled, and for the first time, he allowed himself a moment of profound weakness. He closed his eyes, and the ghost of his brother flickered behind his eyelids. He had achieved his vengeance, yet a hollow emptiness echoed within him. There was no satisfaction, only the cold finality of a long-awaited debt paid.The war was far from over. Even if they secured victory today, even if they purged every Ghoul within their borders, the eternal struggle between humanity and the Ghouls would continue. In a decade, perhaps two, they would return. They always did. This was a grim truth every seasoned Knight had come to understand.This was not a mere conflict or a temporary crisis. It was simply nature, it was a brutal, endless cycle of survival of the fittest. The Ghouls were the stronger spec

  • Chapter 297 Vengeance Call

    A final, cataclysmic surge of fire erupted from Hazim, a miniature sun that incinerated the last of the chittering, insectoid Ghouls that had swarmed him. The air, once thick with the sound of buzzing wings and scraping chitin, fell into an eerie, sizzling silence, punctuated only by the drip of molten rock and the crackle of burning carapaces. He stood for a moment in the center of the charred circle, his chest heaving, his fiery sword dimming to a steady, angry glow. The distraction was over. His mind, cleared of the immediate threat, snapped back to the single most important objective: the front line. His brother was there. Marwan and the others were there. And Yajij was there.Without a moment's hesitation, he turned and began to sprint, a blazing comet cutting across the ravaged battlefield. But Yajij’s designs were layered. Before he had covered half the distance, the ground before him trembled and split open. From the fissure emerged a new wave of Ghouls, their forms more best

  • Chapter 296 The Beginning Of The Last Battle

    Hamza and Nawras rushed over to where Ali had landed, their faces etched with concern. As the dust settled, Ali pushed himself onto one elbow.“I’m fine,” he told them, his voice slightly muffled and distant. “But the explosion damaged my hearing, and my armor might be damaged from the fire.”A moment later, Professor Riyad’s voice confirmed his assessment through the helmet comms. “That was indeed a reckless move,” the Professor stated, his tone laced with professional disapproval.“Your armor’s data is showing several malfunctions. You must fall back to check for injuries and try to repair the damage.”Hamza stepped forward and offered his hand. “You can rely on us now. Fall back; you’ve done more than enough. You saved my life.”Ali offered a tired smile and took Hamza’s hand, allowing himself to be pulled to his feet. Suddenly, Laith’s voice crackled over the open channel. “Are you guys okay? Did you defeat the transparent Ghoul?”“We’re fine,” Ali confirmed, his hearing making hi

  • Chapter 295 Teamwork Always Wins

    Ali, Hamza, and Nawras faced the Ghoul together, the very same creature that had attacked their headquarters and stolen the Golden Armor. As Ali dueled the terrible monster, a shocking discovery unfolded. Through the creature's taunts and the battle's strange resonance with the armor he now wore, the Ghoul finally revealed why he took the armor : the Ghouls had sought this specific armor because it was the legendary relic of the commander who, five thousand years ago, had defeated and imprisoned them behind the Great Wall.The tale was ancient, shrouded in mystery with no surviving sources, leaving Ali stunned by the Ghoul's revelation and its motive. A wave of guilt washed over him; by taking the armor he had indirectly caused his friends' suffering.Consumed by this realization, Ali flew into a fit of reckless rage. He abandoned all strategy and launched a wild, telegraphed attack. The Ghoul easily countered, striking him with a concussive blow that sent him flying through the air

  • Chapter 294 The Promise They Made

    Ali, Hamza, and Nawras quickly agreed to execute the plan Hanin had proposed, their resolve hardening just as Nawras finally overcame his fear.Nearby, Laith was conscious, still trying weakly to push himself up. Nawras rushed to his side, supporting him. "Are you okay?" Nawras asked, his voice filled with concern.Laith grimaced, his face pale. "Every part of my body is in pain," he managed, his voice a strained whisper. "This has never happened to me before."Nawras's expression was grim. "If you can barely stand, it means you definitely can't fight." He immediately called out to one of the nearby knights. "Get him to the medical tents!"The knight, a burly man with a determined face, quickly moved over and, despite Laith's weak protests, hoisted the injured warrior onto his back. "Don't be upset," the knight said firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument. "You've done your duty. You fought with courage."As he was being carried away, Laith's eyes found Ali's. A fierce, desperat

  • Chapter 293 From Rage To Resonance

    Ali and the monstrous ghoul stood locked in their violent stalemate. Professor Riyad's voice, sharp with urgency, buzzed in Ali's ear. "Ali, be careful! This one is clearly a high-tier threat. Its energy signature is unlike anything I've recorded. Do not engage it head-on. Analyze its patterns, defend yourself, and wait for backup. I've just sent word; either Jameel or Ibrahim will be there to support you shortly."Ali's eyes never left the slavering maw of the creature. "I'll try my best until they come," he replied, his voice tight with focus. He took a deep, steadying breath, a whispered prayer on his lips, "Ya Allah." Then, he moved.The battle began anew. To Ali's immense relief, he quickly realized his Sword of Light was a key advantage. The ghoul recoiled from its pure radiance, the holy energy seeming to sap its strength and slow its terrifying speed. It couldn't attack with its full, brutal power because it couldn't penetrate the defensive aura the sword created.Seeing this,
