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
The Dark Warlock's Game Chapter 83: The Horror
Luthor swung at one, but his weapon passed through. “Damn it! They’re not even solid!”Selene fired a glowing arrow. This time, it worked, the creature dissolved in a flash of light.“Magic works,” she called out.But the shadows were endless, slithering through the battlefield, wrapping around the resistance fighters.One latched onto Tracy’s arm. She gasped as her body grew cold. “Vardy….!”He turned, slicing through them with a pulse of dark magic, catching her as she stumbled. “Are you alright?”Tracy nodded, shivering. “We need to end this.”Vardy clenched his fists. “We take the tower now.”Luthor grinned. “Now you’re talking.”Tracy, still catching her breath, gave a firm nod. “I’m coming with you.”Vardy hesitated, but he saw the fire in her eyes. “Then let’s finish this together.”Just then the Altanas called for retreat.“Retreat! Retreat!” Their leader's voice rang through the air.Vardy and his group seized the opportunity to catch their breath even.Tracy breathed, at le
The Dark Warlock's Game Chapter 84: Into The Words
Marcus stood by the door, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. He was used to Dean’s outburst.The energy in the room was suffocating."We can still destroy the Dud," Marcus muttered, his voice low. His eyes were burning.Dean froze. Slowly, he turned, locking his gaze onto Marcus.For a moment, the only sound was the heavy breathing from Dean’s chest. Then, without a word, he stepped past Marcus, his expression unreadable.Marcus exhaled sharply, his jaw clenched.Something had shifted in Dean tonight.And that could only mean one thing, war was coming.***The next day, the sun rose over Haven in a haze.Dean stood before a large map of the city, his fingers tracing the lines of the streets as he spoke in a cold, calculating tone."Set my plan B in motion," he commanded Marcus, his voice sharp and unwavering.Marcus nodded without hesitation, his eyes narrowing in understanding. "It’ll be done."Dean watched as Marcus departed. With a final glance at the city map, Dean let his m
The Dark Warlock's Game Chapter 85: To the Mountains
The visions began to fade, the whispers weakening as Vardy found his center again. Slowly, he exhaled deeply.His pulse steadied, and the world around him came back to normal. His chest heaved, and for a moment, he just stood there, trying to regain his composure."Vardy!" A voice called urgently, sharp and concerned, gazing at him.He blinked, his vision clearing, he turned to find Selene rushing toward him, her face filled with worry. Her footsteps were quick, and before he could gather his thoughts, she was at his side, her hand hovering around to check if he was okay.What’s wrong? What happened?" Her voice was insistent, but Vardy couldn’t bring himself to tell her. Not now. Not yet.He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, steadying himself. "Nothing." His voice came out a little strained, but he forced a calmness into it. "I’m fine."Selene’s brow furrowed as she studied him, clearly not convinced. She didn’t buy it, and he could see the doubt in her eyes. She knew him to
The Dark Warlock's Game Chapter 86: The Encounter with the Spirit
Vardy’s instincts kicked in, and he spun around just in time to see a group of Dean’s elite soldiers emerging from the trees, their weapons drawn and aimed at the group.It happened in an instant."Take cover!" Vardy shouted, ducking behind a snowdrift as the soldiers opened fire.They started shooting.Selene was the first to respond, sprinting towards cover as Vardy motioned for the others to follow.Ferah, gritting her teeth, took a few stumbling steps before collapsing against a nearby rock, her side pulsing with pain. Tracy was quick to her side, grabbing her by the arm and pulling her further into cover. "Stay down," Tracy urged, her voice low.I'm fine," Ferah growled, though the strain in her voice was evident. She fought to push through the pain, even as the battle raged around them.Vardy, spotting an opening, stood from behind the snowdrift, his rifle in hand. His aim was precise, and he fired a few rounds, hitting one of the soldiers in the chest. The man fell, but the o
The Dark Warlock's Game Chapter 87: The Hidden Passage
The artifact, the key to everything wasn't what he thought it was. It wasn't a weapon to wield, it was a curse to be avoided. But could they afford to walk away from it now? Dean was too powerful, and without the artifact, how could they ever hope to defeat him?Selene broke the silence, her voice low. "What now?"Vardy didn't have an answer. He had always believed that the artifact was their only hope, but now, everything had changed. They were no longer just fighting for victory, they were fighting for their survival, against an ancient force that could tear them apart."We keep moving," Vardy said, his voice steady despite the turmoil inside. "We keep moving, and we figure out what to do with the artifact. But we need to be careful. That spirit wasn't lying. We have to find a way to use it without letting it destroy us."The group nodded, each gazing at each other.They moved and as they got to the base of Dean's fortress, Selene went ahead but stopped abruptly."This is it," Sel
The Dark Warlock's Game Chapter 88: The Vision
Their leader's voice was a low growl, echoing through the air. “You will not pass.”Vardy smirked. “You think you can stop me?”Without warning, the warriors surged forward, their movements faster than that of a human.Vardy barely had time to react, raising his blade to block the first strike. The force behind it nearly sent him off balance, but he recovered quickly, shifting to the side to avoid a second blow aimed at his heart.He dodged another blow, his mind racing for a solution.The Altana warriors weren’t just strong, they were also faster and more agile than any opponent he’d faced before. They moved like a well-oiled machine, anticipating his every move, almost as if they could predict his next action.Vardy growled under his breath. He couldn’t fight them all head-on, not without taking heavy losses. He needed a different approach, something more tactical. But before he could act, he heard a familiar voice calling out to him.“Vardy, watch out!”Tracy’s voice rang out thro

“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
