The Dark Warlock's Game Chapter 75: They Ain’t Dying
Selene stepped closer, her expression unreadable. "You’re not the only one who feels it," she said, her voice barely audible. "I’ve heard stories of the island being alive in its own way,of the very land sensing when someone approaches, when someone seeks to disturb its cursed peace. We need to be ready for anything." Selene said further, her hands folded.Vardy kept his eyes fixed ahead. The island was more than just a place, it was a living, breathing entity, and whatever power it held, it wasn’t going to give it up easily.The ship started experiencing turbulence, they kept swaying back and forth, all trying to keep the balance of the ship.Suddenly, the whispers returned faintly. The words were unintelligible, yet the sound itself seemed to vibrate through Vardy’s bones, unsettling him in a way he couldn’t explain.Ferah’s eyes widened, and she stepped closer to Vardy. "It’s here," she said, her voice low, strained. "We’re not alone."The mist thickened further, swirling around t
The Dark Warlock's Game Chapter 76: A Figure like Fog
“No…” Vardy whispered, his voice breaking. “I’m not you. I won’t become you.”The creature laughed again, a deep, rumbling sound that filled the entire forest. “Then prove it. Show me that you can stop me, that you can control this power inside you. Or I will take control, and you will be nothing more than a monster.”The world around Vardy seemed to close in, the mist pressing down on him like a weight. The trial was his to face. There was no escaping it now.Meanwhile, Tracy’s battle with the creatures continued. Their relentless attacks were starting to wear on her, but she refused to back down. She had no choice. They had to hold the line, for Vardy, for their mission.Ferah and Selene weren't left out, they battled with different creatures, that weren't dying.As Tracy swung her sword again, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something, or someone was watching them, waiting for the right moment to strike. And she knew, deep down, that they weren’t going to survive much longer.T
The Dark Warlock's Game Chapter 77: The Battle
"Move to the back." Vardy’s voice rang.His eyes locked onto the guardian, its towering form radiating divine energy. Vardy’s undead army, his loyal minions that had followed him across countless lands, were struggling against the overwhelming force of the guardian’s presence. Their unusual strength was nothing compared to that of the guardian, making them struggle alongside Vardy.Tracy, though she wanted to stay and fight beside him, knew better than to argue. Vardy had been the one to lead them this far, and his tactical mind was sharper than anything they could hope to match. She moved quickly, grabbing Ferah’s arm as they retreated to the rear, away from the frontlines where the battle was raging. Her heart pounded in her chest, but it wasn't from fear.Luthor was already positioning himself with his usual flair, ready to charge, his muscles taut under his clothes. But even he seemed unsure of how to approach this fight. They had faced many dangers, but none as relentless and
The Dark Warlock's Game Chapter 78: Back to the Ship
The group stood still, breathing heavily, their bodies sore. They've had enough already.Vardy’s gaze shifted toward the pedestal where the artifact had been guarded, the ancient object was now within reach.Ferah collapsed into Tracy’s arms, her body trembling from the strain of using her power. Her face was pale, her energy drained completely. “Ferah!” Tracy cried, cradling her head in her lap. “Please, stay with me.”But Ferah could barely respond. Her eyes fluttered weakly, and she gave Tracy a faint, reassuring smile.“I’m... okay...” Ferah muttered faintly.Tracy’s heart clenched, but there was no time for tears now. Selene hurried over to help support Ferah, whispering words of comfort as she checked for signs of any lasting damage. Luthor, meanwhile, moved toward Vardy, his eyes narrowed as he watched him make his way toward the pedestal.Vardy stepped forward, his fingers trembling slightly as he reached out to take the artifact. The moment his hand made contact with the a
The Dark Warlock's Game Chapter 79: I Will Take Over the World
“Stay with her,” Tracy said to Selene, her voice low but firm. “I’ll try to get Vardy to focus. We can’t let him slip away too.”Selene didn’t respond, but Tracy saw the faint nod of her head as she continued her work on Ferah. Tracy turned her attention to Vardy again. He was still standing at the bow of the ship, staring out at the water. She walked up to him, careful not to startle him, but when he turned to face her, she could see it. The change was in his eyes. The darkness was beginning to take over, without warning.“Vardy,” she said, her voice a little more insistent now. “You need to talk to me. This... this power is messing with your head, I can see it.”Vardy's jaw tightened, his hands shaking slightly as he gripped the artifact even tighter. He looked at Tracy, his eyes narrowing. “I’m fine. You’re overreacting.”Tracy stepped closer to him, her heart pounding in her chest. “No, Vardy. I’m not overreacting. I know you. And this isn’t you.” She reached out, placing a hand
The Dark Warlock's Game Chapter 80: I’m Unstoppable
“I have to,” Vardy said quietly. “I don’t have a choice.”With that, he turned, already moving toward the edge of the ship. The distant lights of Haven City beckoned to him, and he knew, deep down, that there was no other path for him. Dean had started something, and if Vardy didn’t stop him now, there would be no stopping.“We're all going with you, Vardy.” Selene voiced out all of a sudden.Vardy turned, his gaze fixed on them all, “no… no. I need you to take Ferah to safety.”“Who said I wasn't going too?” Ferah said, though in a low tone but, shocking Vardy.“No way! Ferah please..” Vardy objected, but it seemed like they all planned it and they weren't ready to yield.Vardy heaved darting round, not knowing what to say again.Meanwhile, in Haven City, the destruction continued. The city had descended into chaos. People were trapped in their homes, unable to escape the nightmare that Dean had brought.Dean stood at the heart of the destruction, his arms raised to the sky, comman
The Dark Warlock's Game Chapter 81: The Battle Cry
It was the challenge Vardy had been waiting for, but it also meant everything was about to change.The group had gathered at their hideout, hearing the broadcast loud and clear. Vardy’s mind raced. He knew this was the moment, the one that would determine everything. The fight was inevitable now.Tracy stepped forward, her eyes filled with concern. “Vardy… you’re going to face him, aren’t you uh?”Vardy nodded, his expression hardening. “I don’t have a choice. He’s threatening everything we’ve worked for. The people we’ve rallied… they’ll be crushed if I don’t stop him now.”Tracy reached out, grabbing his arm before he could move. “Be careful. You don’t have to do this alone. I’m coming with you.”Vardy turned toward her, his face softening for a moment. “No. This is something I have to do. You stay here. Keep the people safe.”“No! I’m coming with you, Vardy,” Tracy snapped, her voice filled with defiance. Her eyes, usually soft and calm, were now sharp.The tension in the air betw
The Dark Warlock's Game Chapter 82: Haven Falls into Chaos
The undead army he had summoned stood behind him, a silent, grim of soldiers with lifeless eyes and broken bodies, waiting for the command to strike.“Get into formation!” Vardy shouted over the chaos, his voice hoarse from the smoke and noise. “We’ll hold them here, keep the streets clear.”His allies, Selene, Luthor, and the rest of the ragtag group, rushed to take their places. But as they moved, the ground shook again, and Vardy’s senses prickled. Something wasn’t right. The ground beneath his boots seemed to ripple, as though the earth itself was reacting to the immense forces clashing above it. He turned just in time to see a group of Altana charging through the smoke.They moved with military precision, expertly encircling the group."Fall back!" Luthor ordered, his voice tight with panic. "They're too many."Vardy’s undead army began to clash with the mercenaries, the sound of bones snapping and metal clanging echoing in every direction. “Hold your ground!” Vardy barked agai

“I’ve been thinking,” Tracy said as they walked. “What do you think we’ll find when we finally confront the Aegaon? What if they’re not what we expect? What if they’re not behind all of this?”Vardy glanced at her, a little confused. “I don’t know what we’ll find. But I do know this, whatever happens, we won’t be caught off guard. We’ll go in prepared. And we’ll keep our heads. The truth is out there, and it’s waiting for us. We just have to find it.”Luthor, who had been quietly walking alongside them, spoke up then, his voice low. “And we’ll find it together. No matter what it takes.”“We have to always be on the lookout.” Selene muttered.Vardy nodded.This journey, this mission, it wasn’t just about uncovering the truth about his parents. It was about understanding the world around him.And so, the four of them walked on.The Aegon would not be easy to find, nor would the truth come easily. But together, they would uncover it. As Vardy stood atop the hill, the early morning sunli
Chapter 105: I’m Leaving Haven
Vardy turned back to the boy, who was still looking up at him with those wide eyes. The boy’s face was streaked with dirt. “What’s your name, kid?” Vardy asked gently, crouching down to meet the boy’s gaze.“I’m Jorin,” the boy replied quickly, his voice eager. “My sister, she’s inside. They said she’d never make it. But now... now, she’s getting better.”Vardy smiled, his heart aching for the boy. “I’m glad we could help,” he said, his voice soft but firm. He reached out, touching Jorin’s messy hair. “Tell me about your family. Where are you from?”Jorin’s eyes brightened even more, and he immediately launched into a story. “We came from the east. My dad used to work for one of the old Altana families, but after they started... doing bad things, he left. We ran, and we didn’t know where to go. We heard about this place, so we came here. And now... now we have a chance.”Vardy listened carefully, intrigued by the boy’s story. He could hear the underlying fear in Jorin’s voice, the y
Chapter 104: The Secret Society
Vardy followed Elyra through the narrow streets of the city, his mind racing with questions. They were venturing into a part of the city he didn’t recognize, the buildings growing older.Elyra seemed unshaken, as though she had walked this path a hundred times before. Her gaze never wavered.Finally, they stopped in front of a tall, crumbling structure that seemed like little more than a forgotten relic. The building was squat, with a heavy, iron door that looked as though it hadn’t been opened in years. It looked abandoned, a place that would be easy to overlook, but Vardy sensed that Elyra had brought him here for a reason.Without a word, she stepped forward and pushed open the heavy door with a creak that echoed.Vardy hesitated for only a moment before following her inside, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, just in case.The inside of the building was dimly lit. As Vardy’s eyes adjusted to the light, he saw the faint outlines of large figures gathered in the corners o
Chapter 103: Vardy’s Resolution
“Tell us what’s next!” a man added, his voice trembling, waiting for response.Vardy swallowed hard. He wasn’t ready for this. He hadn’t come here to give a speech. He hadn’t come here to be a leader. But here he was, surrounded by the very people he was fighting for. Their hope, their belief in him, it was overwhelming.“I will fight,” he said, his voice gaining strength as he spoke. “I will fight for every single one of you, for every person who has suffered under the Altanas. But this fight isn’t just mine. It’s ours. We all have a part to play in this revolution. We will rise together, and we will take back what is ours.”The crowd erupted into cheers, their voices echoing through the market square. The applause was deafening, and Vardy could feel their expectations settle on his shoulders. He had just made a promise, a promise that he wasn’t sure he could keep. But as the crowd continued to chant his name, Vardy realized that he no longer had a choice.He wasn’t just Vardy anym
Chapter 102: At the Market
Vardy nodded, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “Someone has to. And if no one else is going to do it, then it’ll be us.”There was a brief pause, and then Luthor stood up, crossing his arms. “Alright, then. I’m in. If this is what it takes to finally bring them down, I’m with you, Vardy. We’ll fight until the last breath if we have to.”Tracy, after a long moment of contemplation, stood as well. “If you’re really going to do this, then so am I. I don’t care what it takes. We’ve come this far, and I’m not backing down now.”Vardy’s gaze softened as he looked at each of them, his friends, his allies. They had been through so much together, and now they were ready to risk everything for this cause.“Thank you,” Vardy said, his voice thick with emotion. “You don’t know how much this means to me.”Selene smiled softly at him. “We’re in this together, Vardy. We’ve always been in this together.”Luthor chuckled. “Well, it looks like we’ve got a revolution to start. Let’s get to wor
Chapter 101: We need Allies
"Every city has its leaders, Vardy," she said, her gaze steady as she met his. "We just need to find them. The ones who won’t be blinded by power. The ones who’ll keep the fire burning for the right reasons."Vardy nodded, though the worry still gnawed at him. "It’s not just about finding leaders, Selene. It’s about making sure they won’t betray us when the power starts to get to their heads."Then we keep them close," Tracy said, her voice firm. "We build a network. We bring the right people in and keep them accountable.""That’s a risk in itself," Vardy muttered. "I can’t be everywhere at once, Tracy. If things go wrong, if this thing spirals out of control… I won’t be able to stop it."Luthor clapped him on the shoulder. "Then we stop it together. You’re not alone in this, Vardy."But even Luthor’s reassuring words couldn’t erase the unease in Vardy’s chest. He had started this fight, but he had no idea how it would end."Do you think," Selene began hesitantly, her voice barely abo
Chapter 100: The Rebel
“Vardy, look at me." Selene called, her gaze still locked to him.Her voice was steady, cutting through the storm raging in his mind.But the moment her fingers brushed against his skin, a violent force exploded from the pot, and Selene was thrown backward.Her body slammed against the stone wall with a sickening crack before she collapsed to the ground."Selene!"Vardy’s world snapped.The whispers howled, furious at the interruption.Vardy’s vision turned red.The room darkened. The relics around him pulsed, the walls vibrating with a hidden force.Vardy turned his gaze back to the pot of Calabash.The source.The whispers sensed his intent."NO!"A surge of black energy shot toward him, trying to stop him.But Vardy was faster.With a roar, he lunged forward, raising his sword. With all his strength, he smashed it into the pot.CRACK!The artifact shattered.Dark energy screamed as it burst into the air. The room shook violently, the pressure lifting all at once, as if a great weig
Chapter 99: The Fall of Dean’s Chamber
“Vardy, what are your plans for Dean’s chamber?” Luthor asked before they left.Vardy turned, his gaze darting round the whole place. It was where Dean had taken as his possession, where he hid most of his things, his secret items.“We need to get these people to destroy this place, because this is too dangerous,” Selene said, darting around before settling his gaze on Vardy.“What do you mean? I should endanger their lives for my personal gain?” Vardy asked a bit skeptical of what Selene meant.Selene heaved and strode closer to Vardy, who was now down on his horse.“I mean, this is too dangerous for you, Dean would have thought so well and knew that one day, you'll surface.” Selene said and continued, “Dean is very smart and predictable.”“Do smart and predictable go together?” Tracy asked, moving closer to them, her eyes piecing deep into Vardy's.“We just have to be careful, especially Vardy.” Selene said finally, her arms akimbo.Vardy’s fingers curled into a fist. "That place n
Chapter 98: A Heavy Decision
“We can’t just sit here and do nothing,” Vardy said firmly, his voice filled with resolve. “We need to find out everything we can about the System. We need to prepare for what's coming.”Luthor, who had been silently listening nearby, stepped forward. “You’re not alone in this, Vardy. We’ll help. Whatever it takes.”Selene and Tracy, who had been standing at the edge of the group, moved closer. “We’re with you,” Tracy said quietly, her voice steady. “This is our fight too.”Vardy nodded, his heart swelling with ease. He had led them before, and they had followed him. And now, in the face of an enemy greater than any they had ever known, they were still with him.“We’ll gather our allies,” Vardy said, his voice firm. “We need to strengthen Haven, prepare for the worst, and start seeking out every scrap of knowledge we can find about the System. We’ll face this head-on. Together.”Aria’s expression softened slightly, though she didn’t look entirely relieved. She knew the path ahead woul
