Chapter 141 – The Chainheart
There was no falling. One moment, Adrian’s ribs were shredded by chain, Emily’s body pierced alongside his. The next, the world inverted.Darkness wasn’t around them. It was inside them.The chains dragged them not through space, but through themselves pulling their souls inside-out, blood and essence unraveling like threads through an unseen loom.Their screams echoed in silence, devoured as soon as they left their throats. Adrian’s lightning stuttered, arcs collapsing into sparks. Emily’s flame guttered, trembling like a candle about to die.But the chains blazed stronger with each drop of their light. The Heir’s laughter bled into every nerve. “Yes. Yes. Burn for me. The brighter your fire, the deeper you sink into my crown.”Adrian’s vision fractured, shards of memory flashing past his eyes, his mother’s voice, the storm cresting on his first awakening, the moment Emily’s hand closed over his. All of them cracked like glass.No.He forced his hand to tighten around the chain impal
Chapter 140 – Hands Through the Fire
White light. It wasn’t warmth. It wasn’t cold. It was annihilation.Adrian’s storm burned him from the inside, arcs tearing through muscle and bone. His hand stretched toward Emily’s, their fingers almost locked. Almost.Every vein in his body screamed. The chains around his throat dug deeper, choking the air from his lungs. The Heir’s laughter tore through the collapsing void.“You think you can grasp her? You are already mine!”Adrian bared his teeth, lightning blinding his vision. He forced his arm forward centimeter by centimeter while the void shattered around him. “Not yours,” he rasped. “Never yours.”The crack widened. Golden fire burst through, searing the veins that bound him. Emily’s hand broke through the light. Her palm, flickering and trembling, still reached for his.He lunged. Their hands collided. The world convulsed.Chains snapped like brittle glass, fragments of shadow splintering across the abyss. The storm and the flame bled together, threads weaving, light and l
Chapter 139 – The Black Veins
Darkness swallowed him whole. Adrian plummeted through an abyss with no ground, no ceiling, no horizon.His storm flickered against it, weak arcs of lightning ripping across endless night. The sound of his own heartbeat thundered in his ears, too loud, too frantic.Every breath tasted of ash. “Emily!” His voice cracked, tearing out of his throat like glass. “Emily!”No answer. Instead whispers. They bled from the shadows like veins, creeping along the air, curling against his skin. His own voice, warped, multiplied.“You failed her.” “You chained her.” “You dragged her into the storm.”He gritted his teeth. “Shut up.”The whispers hissed louder. “She will burn away because of you.”The void shifted. Out of the darkness, tendrils emerged veins of black fire, thick as serpents. They pulsed, glowing faintly with crimson light.One lashed around his ankle. Adrian snarled, storm flaring, lightning ripping it apart. The vein recoiled, screeching like a living thing.But more came. Dozens. H
Chapter 138 – The White Silence
Silence. Not the silence of peace, but the silence of absence. Adrian floated in an endless white expanse, weightless, hollow.No storm raged in his chest. No pain tore through his ribs. His hands were unmarked whole, clean, empty.For the first time since the chains, since the abyss, he felt… nothing. He blinked. His breath fogged against the whiteness, though there was no air, no sky, no ground.“…Emily?”His voice echoed endlessly, swallowed by the void. No answer. A panic he hadn’t felt in years clawed at him. He spun, searching the endless white. “Emily!”Still nothing. And then faintly he felt it. A flicker. Golden. Like the smallest ember in the corner of eternity.He moved, though there was no walking, no ground to step on. The white seemed to bend beneath his will, pulling him toward that tiny flicker.The ember pulsed. Faint. Fragile. Emily. Adrian reached toward it, heart racing. “I’m here! Just hold on!”The ember shivered, a whisper brushing his ear. “…Adrian…”Her voice
Chapter 137 – Spear of Storm and Crown of Ash
The clash ripped eternity apart. Spear against spear, lightning against abyss, will against will.Adrian’s roar was swallowed by the crack of thunder that split the Mirror Realm, the storm in his veins exploding outward.The Heir’s spear drank the storm, devouring every bolt in black fire, feeding it back in a spiral of annihilation.The realm buckled. Mirrors shattered in unison, shards raining down like meteors, each one reflecting the two of them locked together two storms tearing reality down the middle.Emily’s ember pulsed in the distance, a faint gold flame against endless shadow. Her warmth brushed Adrian’s skin even as blood poured down his arms, every muscle tearing under the strain.The Heir leaned closer, their faces inches apart, same eyes, same jawline, same fire except one burned with hunger, the other with defiance.“You’ve fought chains,” the Heir hissed, voice echoing across a thousand shards. “You’ve fought weakness. But you cannot fight me. I am your truth. Every f
Chapter 136 – The Mirror Realm
Adrian’s breath caught. The silence was wrong. After the roar of collapsing suns and screaming chains, the quiet was suffocating, heavy as stone on his chest.He staggered, still holding Emily close. Her form was weightless in his arms, golden light barely flickering across her body. The ember of her flame pulsed faintly at her heart, fragile, fading.“Emily…” His voice cracked, raw with lightning and blood. “Stay. Just… stay.”But the realm didn’t wait for him. Everywhere he looked mirrors.Floating shards of obsidian glass drifted through the void, each one glowing faintly at the edges. They hovered in concentric spirals, thousands of them, stretching infinitely outward.Some were large enough to walk through, others no bigger than his palm. Each reflected him. But not the man he was now.The nearest shard showed him as a boy, younger, with unscarred hands and wide, innocent eyes. Another showed him bloodied, collapsed after his first failed duel.Another reflected him as a prisoner
