Chapter 115 – The Chains of Truth
The void screamed. Not with sound but with pressure, a suffocating weight that pressed against Emily’s skull until her vision blurred.Chains coiled around her arms, her throat, her waist, biting into her skin with fire-hot steel. She gagged as the weight dragged her downward, deeper into Adrian’s soul.And there he was.Adrian shackled, gaunt, eyes half-lidded, his body wrapped in crimson bindings that dug into his flesh and pulsed like veins. His chest rose shallowly, each breath like a dying ember.Her heart seized. “Adrian!” she screamed, thrashing against the chains, golden fire flaring around her limbs. Sparks sizzled, burning through a few links, but for every chain she cut, a dozen more sprouted in their place.The Abyss’s voice seeped through the darkness like venom: “You see him now, your heir, your friend, your savior. Look at what he is. Weak. Bound. Devoured.”Emily snarled through clenched teeth. “You don’t get to define him. He’s still Adrian—and I’m not leaving him her
Chapter 114 – Shackled Flames
The blackness swallowed her whole. No ground. No air. Just endless void, so heavy it pressed against her skin like iron. For a heartbeat Emily thought she had been expelled, that the chains had cast her out but then she realized she was still inside.Deeper. Shapes emerged in the darkness. Memories, Adrian’s memories flickering like shards of glass suspended in the void.A boy running through rain soaked streets. A lonely room, dimly lit, where he stitched his wounds in silence. The moment he first met her, his eyes uncertain but hopeful. The Abyssal altar, when the chains first touched him.Each shard cracked, warped by black veins that crawled across the images. Emily reached for one, her hand brushed it and pain seared her skull.Adrian’s voice screamed inside her mind. “STOP! Don’t… look!”She staggered, clutching her head, golden sparks flickering weakly around her. “Adrian…” she whispered through clenched teeth. “You’re still in there… I’m not letting go.”The void rippled.

Chapter 113 – Between Flame and Chains
The void bled light. Chunks of shattered stone floated weightlessly in the storm, molten rivers of energy threading between them like veins. The guardian’s remnants scattered into ash, swallowed by the Maw’s gaping hunger.But the storm had not ended. It had only begun.Adrian hovered above the ruin, wreathed in black fire laced with crimson sparks. His body trembled as the aura surged uncontrollably, his veins pulsing with power that was no longer his own.His eyes once clear, storm-grey were now a molten red-black, burning like dying stars.“Destroy…” The word rumbled from his throat, layered with voices that were not his. “Destroy everything… consume…”His gaze fell on Emily. Her chest tightened. “Adrian…” Her voice cracked, weak but resolute. He twitched head jerking as though struck yet the fire swelled higher, drowning the flicker of recognition.Her legs buckled as she stumbled forward, spear clutched in one trembling hand. Blood still dripped from her chest wound, each step a
Chapter 112 – Chains of Fury
The void convulsed. Adrian hit the fractured ground with an impact that split the Maw’s surface like brittle glass. Shards of gold and black light erupted around him, waves of force rippling outward.His eyes locked on Emily.The spear still jutted from her chest, golden blood trickling down her robes, her knees trembling as if she might collapse at any breath. Her fingers twitched against her weapon, still clenched, still refusing to drop it.“No…” Adrian whispered, voice raw, disbelieving. His hand reached toward her, trembling. “Emily…”Then his voice broke into a roar that shook the void: “NO!”The guardian wrenched its spear free, a fountain of radiant light bursting from Emily’s chest. She staggered, her golden aura sputtering like a dying flame. Adrian’s body ignited.Chains of shattered light still clung to his limbs, glowing fragments circling him like broken halos.His hair, black streaked with crimson, whipped wildly in the storm as his aura expanded fire, thunder, shadow,
Chapter 111 – Spear of Heaven
The void trembled. Emily’s golden spear met the guardian’s weapon in a collision that split the air with a thunderclap.Sparks of molten light and shadow burst in every direction, shattering fragments of floating stone, tearing cracks wider through the sky.Her arms shook violently. The guardian’s strength was not flesh and bone, it was concept. The embodiment of inevitability, of trial, of weight meant to crush those who dared step beyond their station.Still, Emily refused to yield. Her eyes blazed, every nerve screaming as the guardian bore down on her.“Not… yet!” she shouted, shoving upward with every ounce of strength, golden light flaring like a sun.Above them, the fractured ceiling of the Maw groaned, lines of radiance tearing apart, each one glowing hotter, brighter.From one widening fissure spilled Adrian’s presence chains glowing, his body suspended, struggling against the radiant prison.She saw him. His voice thundered through the void, raw with agony: “Emily, MOVE!”Sh
Chapter 110 – The Chains Within
The light was endless. It poured through Adrian’s veins like molten fire, searing every nerve, boiling away thought until only fragments of himself remained.He drifted in the void, chained at wrists, ankles, throat, chest every link carved from pure radiance. Each one dug deeper with every heartbeat, each pulse stripping away more of his essence.He should have been gone already. But he wasn’t. Something kept him tethered. A faint warmth, threading through the agony, reminding him of who he was.“…Emily…”The bindings shifted, creaking with cosmic weight. They weren’t mindless like shadows, nor cruel like the Maw’s whispers.They were impartial. Cold. Relentless. “You are fracture,” they intoned, though no mouth spoke. The words rang directly inside his skull.“You are the error that should never have been born. To preserve the balance, you will be erased.”Adrian grit his teeth, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth even here. “I… am not an error.”The chains tightened, crushi
