Chapter 464
"Landon, please," Claire begged. Tears filled her beautiful voice. "Do not go down there alone. It is a trap." "I have to go alone," Landon promised her. "The dead-god magic is too thick down here. If you come with me, the toxic air will poison your lungs. I am the only one who can survive it." Landon stood up. He took a deep, slow breath of the freezing air. "I love you, Claire," Landon whispered into the radio. "Tell the team I am proud of them. If I do not come back... you are the leader of the Vanguard. Keep the world safe." "Landon! Do not say goodbye!" Claire screamed. Landon reached up and pulled the tiny radio earpiece out of his ear. He dropped the small piece of plastic onto the cold stone floor. He crushed it completely flat under his heavy black boot. He was totally cut off from the outside world. He was completely alone. Landon raised his right fist. He summoned a tiny, small spark of his bright white Kinetic Echo magic. He did not use the magic to punch. He held th
Chapter 463
Landon Hale did not punch the monster. He did not raise a magic shield. He stood in the massive, ruined underground cavern in Chicago. He reached his glowing white hands out into the empty air. He grabbed the invisible, twisted fabric of the dark magic itself. General Kade Rauth floated high above him. The evil general was fused with the dead god's heart. He was spinning a massive, purple tornado of toxic magic. He was trying to erase the entire city of Chicago from reality. Landon held the magical air tightly in his bare hands. "RRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Landon roared at the top of his lungs. Landon pulled his hands apart. He ripped the fabric of the magic violently in half. The sound was absolutely unbelievable. It sounded like the entire sky was shattering into a billion pieces of broken glass. The bright white Kinetic Echo magic exploded outward from Landon's hands. The white light slammed brutally into the swirling purple tornado. The two magics did not just push against each oth

Landon turned his head. He looked back at Claire through the shrinking gap between the heavy iron doors. He raised his right hand and gave her a small, confident thumbs-up. The giant metal doors slammed completely shut. The heavy locks clicked loudly into place. The sound was absolutely final. Landon Hale was completely locked inside the Lower Sanctum. He was totally trapped alone with an immortal, evil god. There was no escape. There was no backup. His team could not help him. Claire stood in the dark hallway, staring at the closed iron doors. Her heart ached terribly. But she did not have time to cry. "Claire! We need help!" Kade yelled loudly. Claire spun around. Three massive Abyss Crawlers had climbed onto the ceiling and dropped down right in front of the wounded Marcus. Juno screamed and tried to protect him with her own body. Claire did not hesitate. She was a leader. She raised her glowing golden shield. "Get away from them!" Claire roared. She charged down the hallwa
Chapter 461
Claire sobbed quietly. She knew he was telling the exact truth. "I cannot fight a god if my heart is terrified for your safety," Landon explained gently. He brushed a tear from her cheek with his thumb. "I need my mind to be completely clear. I need to be a weapon right now. But I cannot be a weapon if I am trying to be your shield." "But he is too strong, Landon!" Claire cried, grabbing the front of his torn winter coat. She pulled him tightly against her. "He is immortal! How can you beat him alone?!" "I don't know," Landon smiled a small, sad, brave smile. "But I have to try. Because if I don't stop him right now, he is going to erase the entire universe. He will erase you. And I refuse to let that happen." Inside the massive, glowing purple cavern, General Rauth began to laugh again. "How incredibly pathetic," Rauth’s booming, god-like voice mocked them. "You are wasting your final seconds of existence crying like weak little children. Your tears are delicious to me." Rauth
Chapter 460
For the past week, Landon had learned the beautiful power of teamwork. He had learned how to use the War Resonance magic. He had learned that trusting his friends made him stronger. He had learned that love was the greatest weapon in the world. But right now, in this terrible, impossible moment, that same love was a fatal weakness. General Rauth was no longer just an evil man. He was an immortal god of destruction. If Claire, Kade, and Silas stepped into that cavern, they would die in exactly five seconds. Rauth would not even need to fight them. He would just crush them with gravity. He would erase them with a single thought. If Landon fought General Rauth while trying to protect his friends at the same time, Landon would be completely distracted. He would be too worried about Claire getting hurt. He would make a mistake. And they would all die. This was the ultimate, meaningful core struggle of leadership. A good leader knows how to fight with his team. But a great leader know
Chapter 459
The giant, open doorway of the Lower Sanctum looked like the glowing mouth of a terrible monster. Landon Hale stood at the edge of the darkness. He stared inside the massive, underground room in Chicago. His broad chest heaved up and down. His breath made thick, white clouds in the freezing air. Inside the cavern, General Kade Rauth floated exactly three feet above the stone floor. But Rauth was not a human general anymore. He was a god. His body was a horrifying mixture of pitch-black metal and swirling, dark shadows. Giant, jagged purple crystals grew wildly out of his back like broken wings. His human face was completely gone. In its place was a smooth, flat mask made of dark stone. In the exact center of the mask, a single, gigantic purple eye burned with the toxic, blinding light of a dying sun. Floating right behind Rauth was the massive, rotting stone heart of the ancient Fallen God. The heart beat slowly. With every single beat, a wave of dark, dead-god magic washed over
