“Come on, Mia! We have to keep running!”

Selena’s voice came out breathless as she pushed through the dense forest, carrying her daughter in her arms. Branches scraped against her clothes, and the uneven ground made every step more difficult. She had been running for what felt like an eternity, but she couldn’t afford to stop. Not with the Black Covenant hunting them.

“Mommy, I’m tired,” Mia whimpered, resting her head against Selena’s shoulder.

“I know, baby. I know.” Selena tightened her hold

  • A Mother And Daughter’s Separation

    Selena swallowed hard, refusing to entertain the thought. Ronan had promised to take them to Jaden. She couldn’t accept that he was gone, not after everything he had done for them.The voices grew closer.Selena looked down at Mia, who was resting her head against her shoulder. The little girl was exhausted, her injured knee making it impossible for her to run any farther. Selena knew that if the men caught up with them while they were together, neither of them would escape.She slowly lowered Mia onto the ground and crouched in front of her, placing both hands on her little shoulders.“Mia, listen to Mommy carefully.”The little girl looked at her through tear-filled eyes.“You’re going to hide here, okay? Mommy needs you to stay somewhere safe while I distract the bad people.”Mia immediately shook her head. “No! I don’t want you to leave me, Mommy.”Selena’s expression faltered. She pulled her daughter into a tight embrace, pressing a kiss against her forehead.“I know, baby. I don

    “Come on, Mia! We have to keep running!”Selena’s voice came out breathless as she pushed through the dense forest, carrying her daughter in her arms. Branches scraped against her clothes, and the uneven ground made every step more difficult. She had been running for what felt like an eternity, but she couldn’t afford to stop. Not with the Black Covenant hunting them.“Mommy, I’m tired,” Mia whimpered, resting her head against Selena’s shoulder.“I know, baby. I know.” Selena tightened her hold on the little girl. “Just a little longer, okay? We need to keep going.”Her legs were beginning to ache, and her breathing had grown increasingly labored. She was exhausted, terrified, and struggling to keep moving, but whenever she looked at Mia, she forced herself to find another ounce of strength.Suddenly, her foot struck a fallen log hidden beneath the thick undergrowth.“Ah!”Selena stumbled forward, nearly losing her balance. She quickly turned to protect Mia, but the little girl slippe

  • The Phantom Blade 14

    Ronan swung Kurotsuki with everything he had left. The blade swept towards Victor’s neck, but the latter stepped inside its range, caught Ronan’s wrist and twisted it violently. Before Ronan could react, Victor struck his arm with one of the bones.CRACK!The katana slipped from Ronan’s fingers, but he caught it with his other hand and immediately attempted another strike. Victor intercepted him, kicked him in the chest and sent him crashing against the side of a vehicle.The metal buckled beneath the impact.Ronan dropped to one knee, struggling to breathe. His vision blurred, and the sounds around him seemed distant. His entire body was covered in wounds, and his strength was rapidly fading. Yet he still tried to stand.Victor approached slowly, the two bones resting in his hands.“You really don’t know when to stop, do you?”Ronan spat blood onto the ground.“As long… as they’re still alive…”His eyes shifted briefly towards the forest.“…I haven’t finished my duty.”Victor followe

  • The Phantom Blade 13

    Ronan stared at Victor in disbelief. What stood before him was no longer something he could comfortably call human. The man had just torn two of his own ribs out and turned them into weapons, yet the wounds had healed before he could even catch his breath.It was like watching a living horror.Victor wasn’t simply using his regeneration to survive attacks. He was turning it into a weapon, treating his own body as an endless supply of ammunition. He could mutilate himself without hesitation, knowing he would recover almost instantly.Ronan tightened his grip on Kurotsuki. His body was already at its limit, but he couldn’t afford to retreat. Selena and Mia were somewhere in the forest, and if he fell, there would be no one left to stand between them and Victor’s men.He lowered his stance.Victor raised the two bones, one in each hand, and beckoned him forward.“Come on. Show me what you’ve got.”Ronan exploded forward.His katana flashed towards Victor’s neck, but Victor casually tilte

  • The Phantom Blade 12

    The dust gradually settled, revealing Victor Halberg standing in the middle of the destruction. Several shallow cuts marked his body, but otherwise, he appeared completely unharmed. Before Ronan could even process what he was seeing, the wounds began closing. The damaged flesh knitted itself together, leaving no trace of the devastating attack that had struck him moments earlier.Ronan stood frozen, his eyes fixed on Victor.He had expected the man to regenerate. After witnessing him grow back severed limbs, Ronan had already accepted that ordinary injuries meant nothing to him. However, he hadn’t expected Victor to withstand the Falling Eclipse without losing a single limb.He hadn’t even needed to regenerate them.The Moonlight Strike was not an ordinary sword technique. It was a progressive lethal attack designed to concentrate destructive force into a single slash, increasing its cutting power until it could slice through virtually anything. Its final stage was said to be capable

  • The Phantom Blade 11

    Level XXX. The words echoed inside Ronan’s head. For decades, Level XX had been considered the absolute pinnacle of military strength. Reaching that rank was already regarded as an almost impossible achievement, something only a handful of exceptional individuals could ever hope to accomplish. Then Jaden Rift shattered that limit, becoming the first soldier in history to reach Level XXX. It was a rank that supposedly defied human biology and every known scientific principle. Even the world’s most advanced military institutions had struggled to explain how a human being could attain such extraordinary physical capabilities. Yet Jaden had done it, earning the title of King of War. And now Victor Halberg was claiming to stand at that same level. Ronan stared at the man before him. If Victor truly possessed the strength of a Level XXX combatant, then the difference between them was enormous. Even at his peak, Ronan would have struggled to defeat someone of that calibre. In his current
