Chapter 305
The moment Carl stepped out of the rift—The world snapped back.Air.Gravity.Reality.All of it felt… lighter.But the weight in his arms—Remained.“Sophia…”He looked down at her.Her breathing was steadier now, but her body still radiated faint heat—like embers hidden beneath skin.Unstable.Not safe.Not yet.Behind him—The rift began to close.Slowly at first—Then faster.As if the Ember Vault itself was rejecting his presence.Carl didn’t look back.Didn’t care.Because he got what he came for.But just as the rift was about to fully disappear—A hand shot through.Grabbing the edge.Holding it open.Carl’s eyes narrowed.“…What now.”Then—She stepped out.Octavia.Graceful as ever.Untouched.Unbothered.The rift snapped shut behind her.Gone.Carl’s expression hardened.“I told you to open it,” he said coldly. “Not follow me.”Octavia dusted her sleeve lightly.“You need me,” she replied simply.Carl scoffed.“I don’t.”Octavia’s gaze dropped to Sophia.“You do,” she said
Chapter 304
The air trembled.Not from the Ember Vault—But from Carl.Flames coiled around him, tighter, denser, no longer wild but obedient—like they finally recognized their master.Octavia watched him carefully this time.No smile.No amusement.“…So it begins,” she murmured.Carl didn’t answer.He shifted Sophia slightly in his arms, holding her closer—protective, steady.“I said fix her.”Octavia exhaled softly.“You’re in no position to make demands,” she replied.Carl’s eyes darkened.“Then I’ll take what I want.”And he moved.Fast.Even while carrying Sophia.A blur—Closing the distance instantly.Octavia reacted—But this time—She wasn’t fast enough.Carl’s hand shot forward—Grabbing her by the throat.Lifting her slightly off the ground.The flames around him flared—But didn’t burn her.Not yet.Octavia’s eyes widened—Just for a second.“…Impressive,” she whispered.Carl tightened his grip.“Fix. Her.”The pressure in the room skyrocketed.The Vault itself began to crack—Respond
Chapter 303
Carl ran.No hesitation.No looking back.The deeper he went into the Ember Vault, the heavier everything became—the air, the ground, even his own breathing.It was as if the place itself was trying to crush him.But he didn’t stop.“...Sophia…”Her name echoed in his mind like a lifeline.Then—A sound.Faint.A whisper.A cry.Carl froze mid-step.His head snapped to the side.“…There.”Without thinking, he changed direction—rushing toward it.The ruins grew denser, the structures more twisted, almost alive.And then—He saw it.A chamber.Sealed.Dark energy pulsing around it like a barrier.Carl approached, his flames flickering instinctively.Behind that door—He could feel her.Weak.Fading.“Sophia…”His hand clenched.“Move.”He struck the barrier—BOOM.Nothing.It didn’t even crack.Carl’s eyes narrowed.“…Again.”He pulled his flame inward—Condensed it—Focused everything into a single point—Then struck again.CRACK.A small fracture.Carl’s eyes lit up.“Good…”Again—BO
Chapter 302
The moment Octavia finished speaking—The ground beneath Carl shifted.Not physically—But something in the air changed.Heavier.Sharper.Like the entire Ember Vault had turned its attention toward him.Carl didn’t move.His eyes locked onto Octavia.“Last chance,” he said coldly. “Where is she?”Octavia smiled, almost amused.“You crossed dimensions for her,” she said. “How romantic.”Carl’s flames flickered higher.“I’m not here for your commentary.”Octavia sighed softly.“Such a shame,” she murmured. “I was hoping you’d be a little more… interesting.”Then—She raised her hand.And the shadows behind her moved.One.Two.Ten—No.Dozens.Figures emerged from the darkness.Dragon Vessels.But different.Their eyes glowed faintly.Their movements—Too synchronized.Too controlled.Carl’s gaze sharpened.“…You’ve been busy.”Octavia clasped her hands behind her back.“I improve things,” she said simply. “Unlike Seraphine, I prefer refinement over chaos.”Carl didn’t respond.He step
Chapter 301
Jackson didn’t move.He simply watched Carl—Waiting.“Show me,” Jackson said.Carl exhaled slowly.Then raised his hand.The flame appeared again—But this time—It didn’t burst out wildly.It formed.Controlled.Focused.Alive.Carl stared at it, his jaw tightening.“…How do I turn this into a key?”Jackson stepped closer.“Not like that,” he said. “You’re still thinking of it as fire.”Carl frowned.“It is fire.”Jackson shook his head.“No,” he said. “It’s your blood.”A pause.“Fire is just how it manifests.”Carl looked at his hand again.Then closed his eyes.He tried to feel it—Not the heat.But the source.The pulse beneath it.His blood.His power.His—Origin.The flame flickered.Then shifted.Subtle.But different.Jackson’s eyes sharpened.“Good,” he murmured. “Now… compress it.”Carl focused.The flame shrank.Tighter.Denser.But this time—It didn’t feel unstable.It felt… heavy.Like it had weight.Carl’s breathing slowed.Sweat formed on his forehead.“…This isn’t
Chapter 300
Jackson didn’t respond immediately.He simply watched Carl—Really watched him this time.Not as a son.But as something… awakening.“Stand up straight,” Jackson said calmly.Carl frowned slightly but followed.“Again,” Jackson added.Carl’s jaw tightened. “I’m already—”Before he could finish—BOOM.Jackson struck him.Hard.Carl was thrown across the room, crashing against the wall.Dust fell.Silence followed.Carl groaned, pushing himself up, anger flashing in his eyes.“What was that for?!”Jackson walked toward him slowly.“You hesitate,” he said. “Even now.”Carl clenched his fists.“I don’t—”“You do,” Jackson cut in. “You’re still thinking like a human.”Carl froze.“That hesitation,” Jackson continued, “that instinct to hold back… it will get you killed in the Ember Vault.”Carl’s flames flickered.“You want me to just lose control?” he shot back.Jackson stopped in front of him.“No,” he said. “I want you to control everything.”A pause.“Your rage. Your power. Your instinc
