CHAPTER 301
The Astral Belt stretched below the citadel like a swirling ocean of silver dust, its waves shifting with every distant star pulse. At the very center of that shining sea floated a towering structure of black stone and shimmering metal. It rose like a spear aimed at the heavens, held in place by enormous gravity-anchors that glowed with blue runes. The air around it vibrated with pressure, as if reality itself respected the weight of the power seated inside. This was the Plane-Harvest Council Citadel.Inside its highest chamber, nine tall chairs formed a perfect circle. Each chair belonged to a Tower faction that ruled over the ley-grid. The chamber itself had no ceiling. Instead, a vast dome of transparent mana allowed the stars to be seen as if they were pressed right against the glass. When one star flickered, the chamber dimmed. When another brightened, the runes underfoot glowed.Nine cloaked figures sat in silence. Their breaths were calm. But the air around them thrummed w
CHAPTER 300
The sub-plane around Caster shook like a dying creature struggling to breathe. The pale horizon bent inward, folding and unfolding in slow waves, as if the world were made of thin paper caught in a storm. Each layer of the collapsing dimension hummed with Skell’s leftover essence. Even the air trembled, pulsing with faint blue light that flickered inside every grain of dust.Caster stood at the edge of a cracked floating platform, staring at the horizon that kept tearing itself apart. The last traces of Skell memory drifted like ash through the light. His cloak fluttered behind him, brushing against the unstable air currents. His arms glowed faintly beneath his sleeves. Crystalline veins pulsed along his skin, alive with dangerous mana that did not belong to any human.He held the shard tightly in his right hand. It hummed softly, almost like a heartbeat.The whisper came again. “You could become what they wanted.”Eidric’s voice slithered across the air, slipping easily into the s
CHAPTER 299
Caster stood in the pale light of the broken sub-plane, breathing slowly as the last tremors faded from the cracked crystal core. Dust floated in the air around him like drifting stars, glowing with faint blue shimmer. He felt the shard in his hand vibrate, a soft pulse that matched his heartbeat, as if the Skell essence inside it recognized him as its carrier.The air was cold. Not a natural cold, but the kind that came from places where reality had weakened and let emptiness seep through.He lifted the shard toward the faint sky. Its blue glow spread through his fingers in gentle waves, warm at first, then sharp, like it was trying to speak through light alone.“What are you hiding now,” Caster whispered.There was no answer, but the shard hummed again. He closed his eyes and let his mana flow slowly into it. His mana, once smooth, now carried rough edges. It felt heavier, darker, filled with Skell’s unstable echo. As it poured into the shard, the fragment brightened. Sigils unwo
CHAPTER 298
Caster opened his eyes to a soft, pale light that did not belong to any real sky. It shimmered like thin silk stretched over the horizon, wavering whenever he blinked. His body lay on cold ground, but the ground itself did not feel solid. It felt like woven layers of broken stone and dreams, ready to fall apart at the slightest wrong movement.For a long moment, he could not breathe. His chest rose and fell with a sharp, uneven rhythm. Crystalline veins glimmered along his arms and neck, glowing faintly with Skell’s unstable essence. Every pulse of his heart sent tiny waves of light through those veins, spreading across his skin like threads of a fractured star.He slowly pushed himself up, groaning softly at the weight inside his body. “This place, is this a real plane?” he muttered.His voice echoed, but the echo returned too slowly, almost like it had to travel across another dimension before reaching back to him. When he stood, the ground shifted under his feet, as if unsure ho
CHAPTER 297
The land surrounding the collapsed Skell Rift lay silent under a sky that had forgotten its color. The clouds were pale gray slabs, unmoving and heavy, as if they were carved from old bone. Every breeze carried a faint metallic taste, like the air had been scraped across broken glass. All around, the ruins of old outposts leaned at strange angles, their shadows stretching too far, their stones humming with leftover mana. And then the storms began.Thin cracks of violet lightning scratched through the air, flickering in quick bursts that left a sharp ringing sound behind. They crawled over the shattered ground like living veins, searching for a place to settle. At the heart of the wasteland, where the Skell Rift had closed only days earlier, spirals of dust curled upward like dying breaths.A lone figure stepped into that desolate field.They wore a long, bone-white cloak that brushed the ground without making a sound. Their face was hidden behind a mask shaped like a smooth, expre
CHAPTER 296
The skies above Cloud Tower rang with the sound of tolling bells. Their deep, rolling echoes shook the stone bridges and the glass walkways, sending flocks of silver birds rising in waves. Students rushed out of lecture halls, robes fluttering behind them as they leaned over railings to peer down at the central courtyard far below. The air shimmered with charged mana, bright enough to make sparks dance along the tower walls.Ardis Valen had returned.Word had already spread across the Tower before he even crossed the outer ward. Messenger glyphs pulsed through the halls, repeating the same announcement again and again. “Arch-Seeker Ardis returns from the Skell Operation.” “Mission success.” “Plane stabilized.” “Traitor purged.”Not one of them mentioned Caster Spellbound by name. Not one of them dared.Ardis walked across the bridge that stretched from the outer landing platform to the great hall entrance. His boots touched the stone with slow, steady steps, as if every movement w
