Haitham and Hadi pushed the armored vehicle to its limits, the engine screaming in protest as they tried to flee the twisting, illusory landscape. But the desert was a closed loop. No matter which direction Hadi swerved, the same jagged rock formation, the same skeletal remains of a dead tree, flashed past the windows again and again.

"Enough!" Hadi finally snarled, slamming the brakes. The car skidded to a halt, kicking up a cloud of dust that seemed to hang in the air, motionless. "That rock... that column... I've seen them four times now. We're driving in circles."

Haitham nodded grimly, his knuckles white where he gripped his weapon. "I was just about to say the same thing. This Ghoul isn't just showing us mirages; it's trapping us in one."

"The only way is to fight it out." Hadi stated, his voice leaving no room for argument. "Whatever that thing is, we must kill it."

"I was just about to say that," Haitham replied, a grim smile touching his lips. They were in sync, even in this

  • 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,

  • Chapter 292 The Invisible Threat

    The sudden report from Hadi cut through Hazim’s focus as he fought. Hadi’s voice was urgent, informing him of a disaster; Professor Riyad’s cameras had detected something strange approaching from the right flank. Hazim responded, his tone firm, "No matter what happens, we'll hold the line and repel the attack."Then a winged ghoul, eagle-like but with a horrifically distorted face, landed directly in front of him. Hazim quickly shifted his focus to the new threat and told Hadi he was occupied and would report back after he deals with the creature.The ghoul let out a piercing screech and lunged at him with its talons. In a flash, Hazim’s fiery sword moved, severing both of the ghoul’s legs in one swift motion. The creature shrieked in agony, attempting to flee by taking to the air, but Hazim was faster.He launched himself after it with a strike that was exponentially quicker and more powerful than his last, cleanly slicing off one of its wings. Without a moment's hesitation, he fin
