Chapter 362
The first warning came as a tremor through the floorboards. Spectral Lime’s main archive, a labyrinth of stone and reinforced glass, groaned under the weight of centuries of research, yet the tremor wasn’t natural.Caster Spellbound, walking through the northern stacks with Sikoa, froze mid-step. The air smelled faintly of iron and dust, but beneath it, a strange hum threaded through the walls, foreign mana, disciplined, violent, organised.“They’re here,” he said, eyes narrowing. His aura flared, a subtle glow tracing the Skell threads through his veins. The pulse ran along the leyline veins beneath the building, highlighting weak points where energy could be siphoned or corrupted.Sikoa’s hand went to the hilt of her dagger, her orb of silver light spinning faster in response. “Masked. Constructs. Twin Moons’ signature,” she whispered, scanning the high shelves.The tremor intensified. From the far end of the corridor, glass shattered. A group of figures moved like shadows between
Chapter 361
Lyra stood in the center of the Twin Moons ritual chamber, an expanse of polished stone and steel, elevated above the city with vast glass windows that reflected the moonlight. The room smelled faintly of ozone and burning incense, a combination meant to focus both mortal and Skell-plane energies. Around her, runic circles floated in the air, slowly spinning, etched with symbols of old power. Condensed Skell essence glimmered in a crystalline vial at her feet, pulsing faintly as though alive.She lifted the vial, careful. Her gloved fingers brushed its edges. The substance shimmered with blue and silver threads, dense, almost viscous, humming in sync with the city’s leylines. Twin Moons executives stood at the edge of the room, eyes wide with a mixture of awe and fear. Even the most seasoned arcane bureaucrats could not hide it: Lyra had gone far beyond the bounds of controlled experimentation.“Director Lyra,” one of them said, voice faltering. “Are you certain… that this is saf
Chapter 360
Caster Spellbound moved through the narrow service tunnels beneath Glassview, the stone walls slick with condensation. The faint hum of the city above filtered down in distorted echoes, blending with the pulse of the leylines threading the ground beneath them. Each footstep sent faint vibrations across the Skell-tuned aura wrapping around him.Sikoa followed silently, her hood drawn low, eyes scanning the walls. She carried a small orb of silver light, illuminating the runic inscriptions etched sporadically along the tunnel. The air smelled faintly of ozone and decay, the remnants of centuries-old mana lingering in every corner.“Do you feel that?” Caster asked, kneeling to trace a faint blue shimmer in the air. The Skell-plane threads beneath them coiled like invisible snakes, interacting with the city’s mortal mana in ways that made the stone vibrate lightly.Sikoa bent closer, eyes narrowing. “The grid is wrong,” she said, voice low. “Not just disrupted. It’s being forced into u

Caster woke in the dim light of Solon’s quarters, but the world was already unsteady. The walls seemed to pulse, breathing faintly in rhythm with his own heartbeat. Candles flickered on the shelves, but their flames danced erratically, casting shadows that slithered across the stone like living things.He tried to move. His muscles obeyed, but his mind protested. A dull thrum pounded behind his eyes, a migraine that was more than physical; it was layered, insidious. Memories began to blur. Faces, places, events folded over each other. Eidric’s voice echoed from nowhere and everywhere at once, cold and taunting.“You thought this plane could contain you, Spellbound,” the voice said, distant and close at the same time. “You are nothing without the chaos I leave behind.”Caster clenched his jaw. The Skell-light in his aura pulsed faintly blue, flickering as it fought an unseen resistance. He tried to focus, but fragments of visions collided with reality: shards of Lyra’s silver-black
Chapter 358
The forum was electric. Not just with anticipation, but with the hum of leylines and ley grids stirred to full resonance. Glassview had never witnessed anything like this. Scholars, guild officials, and curious citizens packed the Grand Academic Hall. Each recorder orb hovered in precise formation, shimmering with magical stabilization runes to handle the influx of energy.Caster Spellbound stood at the central dais, posture straight, aura shimmering faintly with the soft Skell-blue glow that marked him as reborn. Twin Moons had agreed, begrudgingly, to an open debate. Not a simple discussion. Not a token lecture. An academic duel, broadcast across the city, sanctioned as a display of knowledge and, if he failed, a means to publicly discredit him.Lyra and Vorren were positioned on the opposing dais, the Twin Moons emblem glowing behind them in soft white and gold light. Lyra’s face was calm, serene, her pale eyes unnervingly unblinking. Shadows beneath her skin shifted faintly, a
Chapter 357
The city woke to a single word. “Spellbound.”It traveled faster than rumor, slipping past gates, into alleyways, and across the docks. By sunrise, every street corner buzzed with whispering scholars, merchants, and city guards alike. The name was on lips and in every comm-slate across Glassview: Caster Spellbound was alive.No one knew exactly how. No one knew exactly why. And no one had any choice but to watch.The Grand Academic Forum had become the stage for history. Scholars in layered robes jostled for position; city guards cordoned off thoroughfares, unsure if the surge of citizens was a spontaneous demonstration or the first wave of rebellion. Floating recorder-orbs hovered in precise formation, capturing every angle for guilds, media houses, and civic records. Every rooftop bore a silent observer, every alley a witness. And yet, in the center of it all, a single door remained closed, heavy, and unyielding.Inside, the hall smelled faintly of wax and polished stone. Caster
