Chapter 118 – The World Without Him
Emily woke to silence. No flames. No chains. No beast. No Adrian.Only silence, heavy and suffocating, stretching across a plane of broken black glass. Every breath burned in her lungs, her body wracked with pain.She dragged herself up on trembling arms, her chest heaving, vision blurred by blood and smoke. “Adrian…”Her voice cracked in the emptiness, devoured by the void. She staggered forward, feet scraping across jagged shards that cut into her soles.Golden residue lingered faintly in the cracks a remnant of Adrian’s fire, smeared like starlight across a dead sky. She dropped to her knees, clutching at the fragments, her fingers trembling as they bled against the sharp edges.“Don’t leave me…”The silence answered with nothing. Then movement. The ground beneath her pulsed, faintly. A low vibration, rhythmic, like the beating of a buried heart. Cracks spread, widening into glowing fissures that bled crimson light.The Abyss was not gone. Whispers slithered back into her ears, col
Chapter 117 – Between Fire and Chains
The spear pierced his chest. The sound was not flesh breaking, not bone shattering, it was the sound of a bell struck in the void, a resonance that rippled outward in endless waves.The entire soulscape convulsed. Titans of shadow froze mid-roar, their forms unraveling into black smoke. The veins of gold and crimson streaking the ground flared so bright they threatened to blind.Adrian’s body arched, a scream tearing from his throat, raw enough to shred worlds. Golden fire burst outward, clashing violently with surging crimson chains.His chest split open not with blood, but with light, two flames clawing for dominion inside him.Emily held fast, her hands trembling as she pushed the spear deeper. Tears streamed down her face, her voice breaking. “Adrian! Come back, come back to me!”Adrian’s eyes snapped open. For the first time, he saw not just the void, not just the Abyss, but himself. He stood within an endless mirror of broken shards, each reflecting a different version of him.O
Chapter 116 – Ashes and Embers
The white light devoured everything. Emily couldn’t breathe, couldn’t see. Her body felt like it was being torn into threads, scattered across the void.The heat of the cocoon’s rupture seared her bones, but she clung desperately to the shape pressed against her the trembling form of Adrian.When the light dimmed, she found herself kneeling on something solid.Not stone. Not flesh. Something in between ashen ground that pulsed faintly with veins of gold and crimson, spreading like cracks in glass across a shattered plane.Adrian lay crumpled before her. His chains were broken, fragments sizzling and dissolving into smoke. But his body was trembling violently, torn between surges of golden fire and eruptions of crimson flame.His skin flickered like glass reflecting two suns, threatening to shatter. Emily’s heart clenched.“…Adrian…” she whispered, reaching for him.Her fingers brushed his cheek searing hot, then icy cold. He convulsed, eyes snapping open. They weren’t his.His right e
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. Chai
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
