A high-frequency distortion sound echoed absolutely piercing the outer atmospheric layers of the capital, extinguishing the remnants of the silver Mana radiance that had briefly sheltered the lines of Aegisvar's offensive forces. In the upper sky, the phenomenon of a total lunar eclipse manifested like a giant eye swallowing the entirety of the dawn light by force, leaving a chilling, empty darkness.

However, it was not that darkness which caused Captain Vaelen's tactical footsteps to halt at t

  • 60. Shackles Above the Clouds

    Ethan's footsteps echoed heavily across the magical steel plates of the outer courtyard of The Nomad Sanctuary. Each stride left behind a thin trail of freezing vapor, the byproduct of his third-stage circuit that had just erupted within the forging chamber with Brian.The new meteorite armor encasing his body emitted an ice-blue luminescence in perfect alignment with Rion’s aura. Beneath his robe, Rion gripped Ethan’s shoulder, releasing a low growl audible only to Ethan’s dragon-rider senses."They are moving toward Valtherion, Ethan. I sense plumes of smoke and terror down below," Rion’s voice whispered within the upstream of Ethan’s consciousness, faint yet laden with a restless, wild instinct."I know, Rion. We go down now," Ethan replied in a low voice, his cold rage already locking onto a single tactical coordinate in his mind.The report from Kavi minutes ago in the forging chamber had completely incinerated the remnants of Ethan’s patience. Axandra's Iron Reavers were marchin

  • 59.The Delayed Resurrection

    The constant, rhythmic pounding of a sledgehammer shook the Forging Sector at the stern of The Nomad Sanctuary. The heat generated by the high-density upstream furnace blasted out through the exhaust valves, creating an optical distortion within the meteorite-stone chamber.Every wall in this room was lined with pure heat-insulator plates to ensure that the thermal energy fluctuations did not disrupt the main spatial drive circuits located beneath this floating landmass.Brian Draven stood before the forging anvil, the muscles in his arms tightening each time his steel hammer struck the black metal slab that emitted a silvery-purple glow. His forging style was brutal yet laden with precise mechanical calculations; every strike of the hammer was delivered at a perfect ninety-degree angle to compress the metal's atomic lattice without damaging the external Mana circuit pathways beginning to form on its surface."Just a little more," Brian muttered, sweat pouring down his grim face.His

  • 58. Dawn Resonance Above the Clouds

    The white stratospheric mist battered the outer walls of The Nomad Sanctuary at a constant speed as the first light of dawn broke. In the lower courtyard, constructed from plates of magical pine-metal and ancient drive circuit silsite, the cold felt incredibly pure. The atmospheric pressure at this altitude was enough to crush the lungs of an ordinary human, but for Ethan Eldravar, the tightness in his chest didn't stem from the atmosphere, it came from the Mana circuits in his right arm, which remained completely blocked. The dragon-scale tattoo that usually glowed blue-gold now looked like dead charcoal etched onto his skin."Focus on the axis of your circuit, Ethan. Don't look at your arm," a calm voice broke through the hum of the mechanical wind.Alden stood three paces ahead of him. His white linen robe fluttered, partially concealing the magical circuits etched along his wrists. As a mage who had dedicated his entire life to mapping energy anomalies, Alden lacked the brutal au

  • 57. Fragments Remaining in the Upper Dawn

    The silence creeping inside the room materialized from magical pine wood felt highly contrasting against the thunderous anarchy that for the last three days had locked Ethan's consciousness circuit. The aroma of nerve-soothing essential oils and Mana passivation vapor flowed constantly from a small stove circuit in the corner of the room, attempting to dampen the biological dissonance surge that had briefly ripped the pure blood lineage inside his physical body.Precisely as Ethan's blue-gold pair of eyes slowly opened, the first thing he caught was not the expanse of the capital's eclipse sky or the cold iron walls of Aegisvar's Medical Sector. Rather, it was an ancient geometrically carved wooden ceiling that constantly emitted micro spatial coordinate fluctuations, a tactical indication that this entire building sat atop a moving foundation that kept shifting positions every single dawn.Ethan attempted to straighten his physical body, yet a numb sensation and extreme exhaustion in

  • 56. The Collapse of the Line of Trust

    The binary projection radiance emerging from King Alexander's chest circuit split the eclipse night darkness with a truly massive blood-red glow. That macro-dimensioned holographic visualization spun dynamically in the platform air, reconstructing a memory draft of thirty years ago in an audio-visual recording highly clean of distortions. Within that memory draft, the blazing fire of slaughter devoured the entire old palace complex. However, the figure standing holding a blood-stained sword blade in front of the throne guards' corpses was not a masked soldier belonging to the empire, but rather Supreme Commander Zaky in a much more robust younger armor version."This dawn attack is complete, Emperor," young Zaky's voice within the recording sounded highly flat, cold, and laden with logistical betrayal calculations. "Alexander's entire core guard lineage has been neutralized by me from within. In return, ensure the Aegisvar Valley Sector remains beneath my autonomous authority without

  • 55. The Resonance of the Blood of the Predecessor

    A massive cracking sound instantly split the black marble floor of the central palace throne stairs platform with a truly massive kinetic destruction power. The macro-scale shaking forced the corrosion snake armor lines on the right wing to retreat in an orderly manner to maintain the stability of their wedge formation. From the wide-gaping vertical crevice, sulfur vapor mixed with the sharp aroma of ancient blood extract wafted intensely, condensing the night air beneath the total lunar eclipse into a highly dense red mist.A coffin made of jet-black obsidian crystal materials slowly rose hydraulically from the depths of the underground circuit upstream. The crystal surface was filled with hundreds of high-level black magic seal drafts glowing cruelly purple, pulsing in sync with the secret heartbeat located within.Precisely as the coffin stood upright, that black crystal layer shattered into pieces into empty shards. Revealing a middle-aged man with a truly sturdy and robust physic
