Chapter 468
Claire’s brilliant, tactical mind began to race faster than a supercomputer. "They are coming down here to flank Landon," Claire realized instantly. "If they get past us, they will march down that dark spiral staircase. They will attack Landon from behind while he is fighting General Rauth. They will trap him." Claire looked at the massive, open iron doors of the Lower Sanctum. "We cannot let them pass those doors," Claire ordered loudly. "We are going to build an impenetrable wall. We are going to turn this doorway into a deadly kill zone. Everyone, get to work right now!" The tired, beaten Vanguard team did not complain. They did not sit down and cry. They trusted Claire completely. They pushed through their terrible pain and exhaustion. They sprang into action. "Marcus! Kade!" Claire pointed at the heavy, broken stone pillars lying on the floor. "Move those rocks! Build a barricade across the doorway!" "You got it, boss!" Marcus roared. Marcus ran over to a massive, thousand
Chapter 467
The giant, dark hole in the stone floor looked like a gateway to a terrible nightmare. Claire Arden stood perfectly still at the very edge of the deep, spiraling staircase. She looked down into the absolute, pitch-black darkness. Landon Hale had just walked down those dark stairs alone. He had gone deep into the earth to fight General Kade Rauth. Claire’s heart ached with a heavy, painful sadness. She wanted to run down the stairs. She wanted to chase after the man she loved. She wanted to stand by his side and fight the monsters together. But she could not move. Landon had given her a direct order. He had told her to stay behind. He trusted her to protect the team and hold the line. If she failed, the Iron Order soldiers would sneak down the stairs and attack Landon from behind. She had to be strong. Claire closed her dark eyes. She tried to reach into her mind. She tried to find the warm, beautiful, glowing white web of the War Resonance magic. But the magical web was completel
Chapter 466
Landon looked at his bloody hands. He looked at the thousands of dead, accusing faces. He felt the heavy, crushing weight of the guilt trying to pull him down into the mud. But Landon Hale was the strongest man on earth. His strength did not just come from his muscles. It came from his pure, unshakable human spirit. Landon closed his hands into tight, powerful fists. "I am a weapon," Landon admitted out loud. His voice echoed loudly across the fake, gray graveyard. The dead soldiers stopped pointing. They listened. "But I do not choose who I destroy for fun," Landon roared fiercely. "I did not start this war. You attacked innocent people. You burned farms. You hurt my family. I am a weapon, but I am a weapon aimed at the darkness!" Landon raised his glowing white fists high into the air. "I fight so that other people can live in peace!" Landon screamed. "I am a protector! And my hands are clean!" Landon slammed his glowing white fists violently together. A massive, blinding sho

"Mom! Dad!" Landon coughed, looking around wildly. He saw them. His parents were trapped under a heavy, burning wooden beam on the other side of the room. They were reaching their hands out to him. They were screaming his name. "Landon, please! Save us!" his mother wept. Landon ran forward to lift the heavy beam. But he could not move. He looked down at his own body. He was not a grown man anymore. He was a tiny, weak, helpless six-year-old boy. His small hands were trembling. He had no giant muscles. He had no Kinetic Echo magic. He was completely powerless. "You are nothing," his father yelled angrily from the flames. "You are a failure!" Landon felt a crushing, overwhelming wave of pure despair and guilt crash over his soul. This was his deepest, most painful core struggle. He always felt like he was never strong enough to save everyone. He fell to his knees in the burning illusion, crying hot tears. He felt like a scared little boy again. “Give up,” the ancient runes whisp
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
