Nobody moved for a long moment.

Kane stood in the tunnel with Seraphine beside him and fifty skeletal soldiers behind him and the Shade called Castor in front of him burning cold blue in the dark. The silence was the kind that happens when too many important things are trying to occupy the same small space at once.

For a brief second, pleasure rippled through him.Then the boy spared the villagers.Malachar’s eyes flew open, golden irises blazing with cold fury. “Mercy?” he snarled under his breath.He clenched his fist and pushedIn the distant village, the boy dropped to his knees, screaming as invisible claws ripped through him—bones cracking, blood boiling in his veins, organs twisting like they were being wrung out. Malachar drank in every second of the agony, a cruel smile tugging at his lips.A pale woman with blood-red eyes knelt before him. Nyra.“My King,” she whispered.Malachar rested a hand on her head, flooding her with dark power. “Go to the village. Play the broken survivor. Get close to the boy and his little pets.

  • Another Major

    The dead rose with wet, cracking sounds.Fresh corpses from the battle jerked upright, eyes burning red. Garrick’s headless body stood first, holding its own severed head like a lantern. Black mist poured from the forest, thick and cold. The ground shook as more bodies climbed out of shallow graves.He stood in the middle of it all, chest still burning from the fragment’s punishment. Blood Tithe had healed his wounds, but the power tasted wrong. Like poison wearing the face of strength.Seraphine gripped his arm tight. “We cannot fight them all. Not like this.”The keeper drew her blade, leg still bleeding. “The pact is feeding on every kill. We have to find the Heart Keeper tonight.”A dead soldier lunged at them. He raised his hand. Bones exploded upward, ripping through the corpse’s chest with a wet crunch. Blood and rotting flesh sprayed across the ground. But the moment the body fell, two more rose in its place, stronger, faster, eyes glowing brighter.The fragment laughed inside

  • Blood Debt

    He lay on the cold ground, chest heaving. Blood leaked from his mouth and nose. The fragment had torn into him like claws ripping his insides apart. Every breath felt like knives twisting in his lungs. His fingers dug into the dirt as another wave of pain hit him. He coughed hard, thick dark blood splattered the ground.Seraphine knelt beside him, pressing her hands on his chest. “Breathe,” she said. “Just breathe.”The punishment finally stopped. Kane’s body went limp. He stared at the sky, eyes half-open. Garrick’s headless body lay a few meters away, blood still leaking from the neck stump. The villagers stood silent now. The fighting between them had died down. They looked at Kane with fear. A blue box appeared in front of Kane’s eyes.

  • The Head

    The bone wall was cracking. Soldiers were climbing over it. Garrick was coming closer with his glowing holy sword raised high.“End this!” Garrick shouted. “Kill the necromancer!”He felt the Malachar fragment laughing loud inside his head. It wanted blood. Kane’s hand shook as he raised it. Bones shot up from the ground and stabbed two soldiers. They screamed and fell.Garrick broke through the wall. His eyes were full of hate. “You are the monster who took my family!” he roared. “Today you die like they did!”Kane stepped forward. His eyes glowed purple. “You chose this path,” he said in a cold voice. “Now it ends.”Garrick swung his holy sword. Kane made a bone shield. The sword hit hard and the shield cracked. Pain shot through Kane’s arm. Kane pushed the sword away. He punched Garrick in the chest. He flew back but got up fast. They fought close, fist against fist, sword against bone.Garrick was strong. He cut Kane’s shoulder, blood flowed. Kane felt hot pain but the system gav

The children were crying loudly.Kane felt angry. “Stop fighting each other!” he shouted. “The soldiers are here!”But it was hard. The villagers were scared and angry. They had almost died from the sickness. Now they wanted someone to blame.Garrick laughed loudly. “Look at them,” he said. “They are destroying themselves. This is perfect.”He sent more soldiers forward. They broke a part of the bone wall. Three soldiers ran toward the children.Kane used Echo Dominion again. Another copy of himself appeared. The echo ran and blocked the soldiers. It punched one and made bone spikes for the others but Kane felt dizzy. The power was taking too much from him.Seraphine fought beside the echo. She used her shadows to pull one soldier down. “Kane, you are using too much power!” she shouted.“I have to,” Kane said. His voice was tired.Vesper was fighting near the vi

Some looked scared, some looked angry but now the real danger was here.Commander Garrick stepped out from the trees with many soldiers behind him. He smiled when he saw the broken camp.“Well, well,” he said loudly. “The necromancer and his friends. And look–the villagers are already fighting each other.
