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
CHAPTER 295
The Void Corridors were quiet. Too quiet. Caster felt the silence press against his ears as he walked slowly between Ardis and Lyra. The mist swirled beneath their feet with each step, turning to faint stone when they touched the ground, then fading again as they passed. The air carried no wind, no warmth, no smell. Only the faint echo of distant space murmured faintly like a sleeping storm.Caster’s body was weak. Each breath felt heavy, and every step took more effort than the last. The glow in his arms had dimmed, but the cracks in his skin remained. They pulsed with slow, gentle light, reminders of the essence sealed inside the crystal that now floated behind them within the containment sigil.Ardis walked ahead with a hard expression, but there was something different about him now. The proud arrogance was gone. The sharp coldness had softened. He looked like a man carrying a heavy weight he did not know how to set down.Lyra stayed next to Caster. She did not speak much. Ever
CHAPTER 294
The first thing Caster felt was cold. Not a natural cold, not the kind that came from snow or winter air, but a hollow cold, a silence that reached into his bones. The kind of cold that came from empty space, the kind that had never known sunlight or warmth. The ground beneath him felt like solid mist, too soft to trust, but too firm to fall through.He opened his eyes slowly, blinking through the pain that pulsed behind them. The world around him was made of shifting shadows, narrow corridors of dark fog that twisted into long tunnels stretching far beyond sight. The colors were muted, washed out, and the light seemed to come from nowhere.He whispered softly, “Where am I?”His voice drifted away as if swallowed by endless halls.Ardis stood a few steps away, breathing heavily as he steadied himself on one knee. His armor was cracked in several places. Faint sparks flickered between the broken plates. Lyra knelt beside him, her face pale, her eyes still full of shock from their na
CHAPTER 293
The rift screamed as it broke apart. Light twisted in violent spirals, ripping the edges of space until the world looked like torn cloth flapping in a storm. The air was too thin to breathe, but too heavy to escape. Every sound shook like it was trapped between collapsing walls.Caster staggered forward with the crystal held tight against his chest. His body was half light and half flesh, flickering like a candle fighting a dying wind. Each step sent a stab of pain through his legs, but he refused to fall. The others raced ahead of him, running down the narrow, cracking path of unstable space.Lyra cried out as a piece of the collapsing plane struck the ground behind them and exploded into shards of bright white dust. Ardis grabbed her arm and pulled her forward with brutal force.“Do not look back!” Ardis shouted. His voice echoed strangely, as if swallowed by the broken air. “Just keep moving!”Lyra stumbled but did not stop. She kept glancing over her shoulder, her eyes full of f
CHAPTER 292
The world was a storm of light and collapsing shadows. The Skell Plane tore itself open in slow, agonizing pieces. The sky fell inward, folding like twisting sheets of glass. The ground dissolved into drifting fragments of stone and memories. The air vibrated with sounds that could not be described, as if the plane was trying to speak its final words before dying.Caster stood in the middle of it all, breathing hard, the crystal of the plane’s essence clutched tightly in his trembling hands. His body glowed faintly, unstable, flickering between solid and light. Every pulse that came from the crystal made his veins burn. Each breath came with a sharp ache.Behind him, the final rift, the only exit, shimmered weakly. It had shrunk to the size of a doorway. The edges sparked as if they struggled to stay alive for even one more second.Ardis and Lyra crouched several meters away, staring at the rift and at Caster with terrified eyes. Milo’s absence hung in the air like a painful echo.
