Chapter 308
Carl gritted his teeth as he concentrated, every fiber of his being focused on Sophia. The dragon blood inside him flared violently, coiling like molten fire through his veins, and he could feel it responding to her faint pulse. Her body was fragile, but his power, raw and untamed, could stabilize her—if he controlled it perfectly.“Carl… be careful!” Master Aiden’s voice cut through the roar in his mind. “If you push too hard, you’ll destroy her instead of saving her!”“I know!” Carl shouted back, though his voice trembled. Sweat dripped down his face, but he didn’t flinch. Every ounce of anger, grief, and desperation boiled inside him. He had failed to protect her once, but he would not fail again.Sophia’s chest rose and fell unevenly. Her lips quivered, and her hand twitched weakly. Carl focused on her heartbeat, letting his dragon flame wrap around her like a living shield, merging with the dragon blood coursing through her. Slowly, her pulse began to strengthen.Ana clutched her

Carl thought that finally, Sophia would be okay. He believed what they had told him. But he was wrong. He was so wrong.One morning, he was jolted awake by Ana’s screams. She was calling his name frantically.He rushed out of his room and ran to their room. “Carl! Hurry! Sophia!”He rushed to the bed and looked at Sophia.Her eyes were open—but lifeless. The veins across her body and face were dark, clearly visible.Carl immediately checked her pulse. There was still one, but it was dangerously weak.“No… no, this can’t be…” he whispered.“How is she, Carl? Is she still alive?”Carl swallowed hard. He didn’t know what to tell Ana.Master Aiden entered the room, and his face fell at the sight of Sophia’s condition.“Carl…”Carl shook his head slowly, grief in his eyes. “I know… her body couldn’t take it anymore. It’s… slowly deteriorating.”Ana gasped. “You mean… she’s going to die?”“We’ve done all we can, Carl. It’s time to accept it,” Aiden said quietly.Carl clenched his fists

Carl pushed the door open without knocking.“Master.”Master Aiden was already seated upright, as if he had been waiting.Gone was the frail man from before.Now—There was weight in his presence.Power.Ancient.His eyes immediately fell on Sophia in Carl’s arms.“…So it finally happened,” Aiden murmured.Carl stepped closer and gently laid Sophia on the bed.“She’s stabilizing,” Carl said, voice tight. “But something’s wrong. Fix her.”Aiden didn’t respond right away.Instead—He reached out and placed two fingers on Sophia’s wrist.Silence filled the room.Even the air seemed to pause.Then—Aiden’s expression darkened.“…Dragon Blood resonance,” he said quietly.Carl frowned. “What does that mean?”Before Aiden could answer—A voice cut in.“She’s becoming a vessel.”Carl’s head snapped toward the door.Octavia stood there, leaning casually against the frame.Ana stiffened immediately.“…Who is she?” Ana whispered.Carl didn’t answer.His eyes were locked on Octavia.“You followed

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
