CHAPTER 122: CONSORTING WITH A DARK PRIMORDIAL
In the vaguely lit throne room of Seklas, nestled deep within the shadowy reaches of the Southern Nibirian Continent, the air was thick with the musk of scorched steel, charred incense, and the acrid remnants of failure. The torches along the obsidian walls flickered weakly, casting long, serpentine shadows that seemed to dance mockingly around the somber chamber. At the center of it all sat Seklas himself—Dark Lord of the Nibirian Wastes—perched atop his jagged throne carved from blackened meteorite. His crimson armor glinted dimly in the weak firelight, his gauntleted fingers clenched tightly around the arms of his seat as he stared into the great viewing basin embedded in the floor before him.Within the swirling mists of the basin, the aftermath of the Illuminarium's brazen assault played out like a grim prophecy. A colossal red orbuculum—one of the arcane engines that powered Seklas&
CHAPTER 121: ATTACK OF DIRE STRAITS
Above the Southern Modjaji Sea, a grand fleet of airships elegantly sailed through the boundless skies, their magnificent presence capturing the attention of all who beheld them. With their intricate designs and billowing sails, the airships moved with an almost ethereal grace as they advanced toward the Southern Void Pillar, a towering structure that seemed to defy gravity. Amidst this celestial journey, a holographic transmission sparked to life, originating from the recently liberated Mikaelium Pillar, a beacon of hope in the midst of the conflict."I bring tidings of liberation," announced the newly appointed guardian, Shangus, his voice echoing with unwavering resolve. The transmission's glow resonated with the triumphant essence of Mikaelium Pillar's newfound freedom, filling the hearts of all who heard it with a renewed sense of hope. "The Mikaelium Pillar is no longer ensnared by the clutches of our adversaries. Under my guardianship, I pledge unyielding devotion, gui
CHAPTER 120: A TRUCE AMONGST THE UNTRUSTED
In the fiery glow of the cavern beneath the Mikaelium Pillar, Maleek's eyes bore into Venganza, searching for any sign of injury or distress. Venganza's breath came in ragged gasps, her once vibrant violet eyes dulled by exhaustion and pain. She shook her head weakly, her black purplish hair cascading around her like a halo. "It's not physical," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, "just... drained."Maleek's heart clenched with worry as he gently laid Venganza down on the rocky ground, careful to cushion her in his arms. Cradling her in his arms, Maleek brushed a strand of hair from Venganza's sweat-drenched forehead, his touch gentle yet charged with concern. "You pushed yourself too hard," he chided softly, his voice laced with affection and apprehension. "You should have told me." Maleek chimed compassionately.Venganza managed a weak smile, her lips curving upwards in a semblance of reassurance. "I had to," she insisted, her voice barely audible over the distant rumble
CHAPTER 119: THE BISHOP OF JINNS
In the gripping aftermath of the intense battle, the Venganza blade stood firmly lodged in the chest of the Priest, a gruesome testament to the brutal conflict that had unfolded. Infritus, however, found himself in a precarious situation, the impending threat weighing heavily on him. Despite the dire circumstances, a sinister smirk crept across his face, an unsettling contrast to the agony surrounding him. With deliberate calmness, he reached for the small satchel at his waist, retrieving a sphere pulsating with an ominous energy – the highly concentrated Delirium Insanctum."You believe this is an easy victory. Allow me to illuminate the depths of your ignorance," Infritus declared with a chilling certainty as he clutched the sphere in his hands. The atmosphere grew tense, and even Venganza, who had just delivered what seemed to be a fatal blow, hesitated, sensing the impending transformation. Celine, perceptive and swift, intervened to create a buffer between the two adversaries.The
CHAPTER 118: CONFRONTATION IN FIRE & ASH
Maleek descended into lower lava chambers until he reached a chamber of iron and ruby quartz columns. The chamber is one of five rooms that served as the base support quarters, giving the pillar stability. Maleek continued throughout the room until he reached an ascending elevator leading to the lower crater. Maleek was feeling the heat; however, he was not consumed by the high temperatures, thanks to the heat-resistant clothes and the Gabrean magic he now possessed.Maleek saw a lower bridge that led to an ascending staircase. Maleek quickly made his way upward until he reached the top levels, a pair of iron, ruby, and quartz set before his path. Maleek attempted to push the doors open; however, they were sealed shut. “Shit! dead end!”Suddenly a holographic bust of General Infritus appears before Maleek. Maleek glared at the general. “Fuck, he knows I am here,” Maleek exhumed. “I have known you were in this sanctuary since you stepped off the prized ship I designed myself. What were
CHAPTER 117: CONVICTIONS
After a grueling day of traveling down the River of Fire, Maleek and Venganza finally arrived at their destination—the lower docks behind the Mikaelium Pillar. Their ship, blackened from the ember-ridden journey, hissed as its hull made contact with the heated stone. The boarding ramp extended with a metallic groan, touching down on the blistering, rocky terrain. The ground hissed with pressure, venting smoke and sulfur from small, jagged fissures like the breath of some buried leviathan.“This is where we must part! Get off my ship,” Venganza declared, her tone sharp and impatient.Maleek frowned, brow furrowing as he scanned the alien landscape. “Where do I go from here?” he asked, uncertainty slipping into his voice.“Must I show you everything?” she snapped, a scowl tightening her already cold features.“Well, shit! This is my first time here,” Maleek fired back, throwing his arms up. “Do you expect me to have psychic abilities and just know everything?”Venganza narrowed her eyes
CHAPTER 116: SINS OF THE FATHER
General Infritus rose from his seat with a calculated slowness, a towering figure cloaked in fire and arrogance. The throne behind him pulsed with molten energy, illuminating his silhouette in the crimson haze. With a casual motion, he reached to his right and grasped the obsidian hilt of his massive sword, which rested against the arm of his throne like a slumbering beast awaiting command.“Very well, son,” he said, his voice deep and laced with venom. “I will rid myself of you, once and for all. However…” He paused, lifting the blade and letting its weight settle in his hand before resting it against his shoulder. “Before I execute you, I will parade your broken, near-dead body through the fire temples. The clergy shall see the cost of rebellion. You will not be remembered as a martyr—only as a failure. Your death will be slow, and your shame will be eternal.”As he unsheathed the blade with a ceremonial twist, ancient runes etched into the black metal lit up in brilliant orange. Th
CHAPTER 115: A CALL TO RECOURSE
In the aftermath of the obliteration of the Eastern Void Pillar, the once-dormant members of the Illuminarium forces had been ignited, propelling them into the realm of strategic planning for a retaliatory offensive. The key catalyst for this newfound vigor was the acquisition of a formidable super weapon, a game-changing addition to their arsenal, courtesy of the collaborative efforts of Princess Sehesatia and Maleek. As discussions unfolded within the high council chambers, the voices of King Sulumarium and Queen Quemaria resonated, advocating fervently for an immediate assault to capitalize on their enhanced capabilities.However, amidst the palpable anticipation for retaliation, dissenting murmurs reverberated from a faction of retractors. Their apprehension stemmed from the stark reality of their severely depleted resources, a consequence of the devastating loss incurred during the destruction of the Eastern Void Pillar. Having witnessed an alarming 80% depletion, these dissentin
CHAPTER 114: A COMPANION AMONGST ENEMIES
After briefly regaining his composure, Maleek stood at the edge of Lake Ogun; he watched as Shangus sailed across the Lake of Ogun, the very boat they had used to reach the monastery drifting away. "Fuck," Maleek's frustration erupted in a sharp expletive.Venganza approached Maleek, "I'd say that went swimmingly," Venganza's voice dripped with sarcasm. "He really did leave me stranded here!" Maleek's panic seeped into his words. "Why the distress? You are better off without the dead weight," Venganza retorted, his tone icy. "You're probably thrilled I won't be getting the Mikaelium elemental energy," Maleek accused bitterly. Venganza chuckled darkly. "You let that hot-headed fool dictate your actions. Surprising, considering you're usually one to grasp victory when it's within reach.""I'm not, but did you hear Shangus? He's furious for saving you, something I don't recall doing!" Maleek's frustration was palpable. "You'll never achieve anything with that defeatist attitude. Don't le
