They began to climb again. Ten steps. Twenty steps. Fifty steps. The shaking grew worse. The walls of the tunnel were cracking. The loud noise of grinding stone echoed up the stairwell. The cavern at the bottom of the stairs had completely caved in. The destruction was crawling up the tunnel, chasing right behind them."Faster," Caster urged.They pushed their tired legs harder. They stumbled. Caster scraped his knee on a sharp rock. Lysane tripped and almost fell backward, but Caster grabbed her waist and hauled her up."I hear wind," Lysane gasped suddenly.Caster stopped and listened. She was right. Above the terrible noise of the breaking rocks, there was a faint, high-pitched whistling sound. It was the sound of wind blowing through a crack.They looked up. Far above them, they saw a tiny, thin line of gray light."The surface," Caster breathed. "We are almost there."They climbed with renewed, desperate energy. The promise of the sky pushed the pain out of their minds, They rea

The deep, underground cavern was dying. For a thousand years, the heavy, dark stone room had been the secret heart of the world. It had held the giant silver Pact Seal. It had held the terrible, boiling magic of the Ash Warden. Now, the magic was completely gone. The dark god was dead. The ancient contract was broken.Without the thick, heavy magic to hold the walls up, the cavern was starting to collapse.CRACK. A loud, sharp noise echoed in the dark. It sounded like a giant, dry tree branch snapping in half. A large chunk of black stone fell from the high ceiling. It crashed onto the floor, sending a huge cloud of gray dust into the air.Caster Spellbound jumped. He was lying on the hard stone floor next to Archmage Lysane."We have to go," Caster coughed. The dust filled his mouth and throat. "The ceiling is coming down."He pushed his hands against the floor to stand up. His arms shook violently. His muscles felt like they were made of wet paper. He was an old man, and his magi
Chapter 543
Caster and Lysane flew through the air. They crashed violently onto the hard, black stone floor of the subterranean cavern.They rolled across the dirt and the broken rocks. Caster hit a fallen pillar and stopped. Lysane slid to a halt a few feet away.For a long time, there was absolutely no sound.The cavern was completely silent. The heavy, grinding heartbeat of the Ash Warden was gone. The howling, freezing wind of the Ash Void was gone. The terrible, loud crashing of the falling Sage Tower above them had ended. It was just the quiet, empty silence of a deep basement.Caster lay on his back. He stared up at the cracked, broken stone ceiling. He did not move. He just took a breath.The air smelled like old dust and dry dirt. It did not smell like dark magic or burning bone. It was just normal, dirty air.He was alive. He was back in the physical world. He was just a human again. No floating. No inverted fire. No dark god living inside his head.Caster slowly turned his head to the

Caster held tightly to the handle of his sword, making sure the blade stayed deep inside the core."I am rewriting the rules," Caster answered. His voice was calm. It was the only calm thing in the entire screaming universe.“You cannot kill the consequence!” The Warden begged. The pale gray fire in its empty eyes turned into blinding white light. If I die, the world has no balance! The sins of humanity will pile up! The earth will poison itself! I am the only thing keeping the scale even!The giant monster's body began to rapidly decay. But it did not decay into gray dirt or black ash. It decayed into pure, blinding white light.Where the white light touched the solid ash, the ash simply dissolved into bright, floating sparks. The monster’s giant fingers turned to light and floated away. Its massive legs crumbled into brilliant white stars."You are wrong," Caster told the dying god. "You are not a scale. You are just a cage. You kept us trapped in fear."“They will destroy themselv
Chapter 541
Caster Spellbound flew through the endless, empty dark of the Ash Void. He was an old, broken man. His gray robes were torn into dirty rags. His ribs were cracked. His skin was pale and covered in dried, black blood. But he did not look like a weak man. He looked like a shooting star.He moved at an impossible speed. He was not falling anymore. He was flying straight up, heading directly toward the giant, thirty-foot-tall monster.The glowing orange chain of light stuck deeply into his chest. It was his anchor. It tied his soul to Archmage Lysane, who was fighting to keep the dimensional window open far above them.The chain did not just keep him alive. It gave him a way to move.Caster grabbed the bright orange chain with his left hand. He pulled on it. Because the chain was tied to the real world, it acted like a solid, unbreakable rope in the zero-gravity space of the Void. Caster used the chain like a giant slingshot. He pulled hard, and the tension snapped him forward even fast
Chapter 540
A flood of pure, warm, living mana rushed down the glowing chain.It poured from Lysane’s heart, traveled down the long line of light, and rushed straight into Caster’s dying veins.Caster’s eyes went wide. He looked down at his crumbling gray legs. The flaking stopped. The dry, cracked, dead ash stopped falling away.Slowly, beautifully, the gray color began to retreat. The color of healthy, pale human skin returned to his feet. The warmth traveled up his legs, past his knees, and into his stomach.He looked at his hands. His fingers had been turning to smoke. Now, the smoke reversed. Solid bone, muscle, and skin grew back instantly. His fingers became strong and steady.The chain was grounding his existence. It was reminding the universe that Caster Spellbound was a real, living, physical human being. It told the Ash Void that it was not allowed to eat him.The pure mana flooded his exhausted system. It felt like drinking a glass of cold, clean water after walking in the desert for a
