“Miralda…”

A deep, raspy voice—unfamiliar and strange—echoed inside her head. Miralda had never heard it before. With her eyes still closed, she had no idea how a voice like that could be speaking directly into her mind.

“What? Who are you?”

She spoke the words silently in her heart, still refusing to open her eyes.

“Miralda, are you really going to obey him just like that?”

The voice grew louder in her mind, not just in volume but in presence. It carried a weight—an inexplicable force—that pulled her inward, deeper into her own consciousness, into the private chamber of her heart. It was a place only someone as powerful as Varom could ever reach.

And now, Miralda found herself standing inside that chamber.

It was a bare, desolate space—not too dark, but far from bright. The room was surrounded by aged, grimy walls, with nothing else inside. No furniture. No people. Just her.

A slow, icy draft crept along the floor, slithering up from her feet and crawling toward the nape of her neck,

  • Chapter 444 - Recorded Evidence

    A clear yet commanding voice sliced through the tense air as the figure standing beside Flakor caught his wrist before it could land a blow on Keshab’s cheek.“Have you truly never regretted your actions?”Bersena’s eyes locked onto Flakor with a sharp, fury-laced glare. As the deputy head of the education department, she still remembered the complaints she’d heard from students about Flakor’s brutality.This man had no qualms about slapping a student if he felt they weren’t making enough progress in training. Worse, he’d once broken a high school girl’s ribs with a single kick.At first, no one knew. Flakor was careful to do these things out of the senior masters’ sight. But one student, unable to endure it any longer, had finally gone to Bersena—his eye bruised and swollen—telling her that Flakor had punched him.The report had made Bersena’s blood boil. She had immediately taken the boy to Varom and told him everything.Not long after, Flakor was stripped of his position as one of

  • Chapter 443 - Someone Must Be Punished for Abandoning a Friend

    While deep in the forest, Shambhu and his two companions were forced to confront a strange creature made entirely of smoke, Keshab and Miralda had just arrived back at the temple’s communal kitchen to pour their final bucket of water.This was their fifth trip—marking the end of their punishment.“Miss Miralda, this feels like a dream.” Keshab grinned ear to ear as he emptied the massive wooden bucket into the reservoir. “We went to the well and back in only fifteen minutes!”Indeed, unlike their first trip to the well, each journey after that had been surprisingly quick—almost unnaturally so. It was as if the forest had suddenly drawn itself closer, the path smooth and effortless.“But I’m sure this is because you used some kind of magic during our journey, right?” Keshab looked at her with an expression full of admiration, like a student staring at their favorite teacher. “I’m so grateful I had the chance to witness your abilities firsthand.”Keshab didn’t know exactly what kind of

  • Chapter 442 - Escape

    “Where the hell are they? Why haven’t they come back yet?!”Shambhu let out an irritated huff. Twenty minutes had passed, and still no sign of Tirtha or Ujwal returning with the girl.“Completely useless! Looks like I’ll have to go after them myself.”It wasn’t that he cared about Tirtha, Ujwal, or even Keshab. Whether they got lost or not wasn’t his concern. If the three of them got eaten by a tiger, that would be their problem. The only one he cared about was Miralda.But just as he took a step toward the back of the path, his eyes caught something—thick, swirling smoke drifting down from the top of a tree.“Huh? What is that?”It wasn’t more than thirty feet ahead. The moment the smoke’s tendrils brushed the ground—ROAR!!!A deep, guttural bellow ripped through the air as a figure emerged from the smoky mass, lumbering toward him with heavy, deliberate steps.It had long, grotesque legs—still made of smoke, not flesh—but shaped like some monstrous beast.“W-What… what the hell is

  • Chapter 441 - Lost

    Ujwal spun around, only to find no sign of Keshab or Miralda.“Brother, they’re gone!” he shouted. “They’re not behind us!”“What are you talking about? Don’t start spouting nonsense in a situation like this—it’s really not funny!”Shambhu’s expression tightened in irritation, forced to halt because of Ujwal’s outburst. Still, he turned his head to check for himself.“That’s impossible…”The rest of his words died in his throat. His eyes confirmed what Ujwal had said—tens of meters behind them, no… almost a hundred meters back, there was no trace of the portly man or the girl he loved so deeply.A surge of dread twisted in his chest.“Damn it! Where are they? Did something happen that made them fall behind?”He refused to believe that Keshab and Miralda had deliberately taken a different path. Neither of them had ever been in this forest before—there was no way they would intentionally split off.Still, anxiety gnawed at him. Not seeing Miralda among them made his pulse quicken.“Ujwa

    Meanwhile, the other group had taken the path on the right.“Brother, you were seriously amazing back there. You showed what it means to be a real man by not letting Miralda boss you around.”Tirtha grinned as he praised Shambhu. Still, it was obvious from his face and posture that fatigue was weighing him down.“He’s right, Brother,” Ujwal chimed in, looking just as worn out. “Your attitude made it crystal clear who’s in charge here.”Among grown men, there was a principle they held dear: a man should be firm in his opinions.“It doesn’t matter so much whether you’re right or wrong,” Tirtha continued. “What matters is that you stand by it, even if everyone’s against you.”Earlier, when Miralda had insisted they should take the left path, Shambhu had almost gone along with her just to avoid conflict. But then, he caught Tirtha giving him a subtle wink—a silent cue not to give in.Shambhu took the hint. Instead of agreeing with Miralda, he stuck to his own decision.“But… what if Miral

  • Chapter 439 - The Sacred Well

    “Miss Miralda, you truly are remarkable!”Keshab couldn’t hide the joy and admiration in his voice. In just fifteen minutes, the young woman had led them to the foot of the mountain—a route that not only felt shorter but was far easier than the path they’d taken before.When they’d traveled with Shambhu, it had seemed endless. The base of the mountain—clearly visible just a kilometer away—felt as though it drifted farther and farther from them no matter how far they walked.“Master Keshab, what are we waiting for?” Miralda’s eyes lit up as she gazed at the slope ahead. There was something in the air here—an aura that made her feel at peace.“Let’s get to that well!”“Of course, miss!”Keshab quickened his pace, almost breaking into a jog. Thanks to the enchantment Miralda had cast on him earlier, even the uphill climb didn’t tire him in the slightest. Not only was he free of fatigue—he didn’t even feel the faintest strain.Within another fifteen minutes, they reached their destination
