Chapter 47 – The Pulse of Death
Adrian plunged into the chaos below, fire roaring around him like a living beast. Heat seared his lungs, choking smoke clawed at his throat, and shards of steel and concrete tumbled past him like jagged knives.The world had become an endless inferno, Mara’s pulse device radiating a terrifying energy that warped the very air. Sparks arced unpredictably, twisting like snakes, and the collapsing rooftop above groaned as if the city itself were alive, punishing him.His arms flailed, searching for purchase. Every muscle screamed in agony, broken ribs threatening to snap with each motion. But instinct and adrenaline overrode pain. He twisted mid fall, angling toward a scorched ledge jutting out from the burning building next door.Adrian’s fingers scraped against the warped metal. The surface was slick with soot, blood, and molten residue. Pain tore up his arm as he forced a grip, pulling himself upward inch by agonizing inch.The pulse from Mara’s device made the structure vibrate unpred
Chapter 46 – The Inferno Device
Adrian’s chest heaved, each breath a serrated cut through his ribs. The firestorm below roared, a living ocean of flames licking at the fractured steel beneath him. Every beam threatened to give way, every spark a potential death sentence.Above him, Mara’s device pulsed a sinister red, humming with energy that seemed to warp the air itself. Its glow reflected in her cold, calculating eyes.“You’ve survived the flames,” she said softly, “but survival alone won’t save you.”Adrian’s hands clenched the jagged iron bar, knuckles raw. His mind raced, calculating distances, angles, and every possible outcome. The two assassins were still on the rooftop, equally battered but ready, their blades glinting as if drawn by the fire itself.A high pitched whine erupted from Mara’s device. Sparks arced from its core, falling toward the rooftop like jagged lightning.The taller assassin glared at Adrian. “Move, or be crushed!” he barked.Adrian pivoted, slamming his bar into the steel beneath him,
Chapter 45 – Flames of Reckoning
Adrian’s body ached in every muscle, his ribs screaming with every breath. Smoke filled his lungs, hot and suffocating, making each inhalation a sharp knife.Flames surged around him, consuming everything in sight. The crumbling rooftop beneath him groaned and shifted, threatening to collapse with every heartbeat.Across the fractured steel, the two masked assassins advanced. The taller one moved with predatory grace, eyes locked on Adrian, blade raised like a scythe. The shorter one held a jagged shard of metal, circling like a shark, ready to exploit any opening.Emily’s voice cut through the chaos, panicked but resolute. “Adrian! You can do this!”Adrian focused, ignoring the pain, the smoke, and the inferno below. There was no room for hesitation. Every movement had to count. Every strike had to land.The taller assassin lunged first, blade cutting a deadly arc. Adrian twisted, letting the swing pass inches from his face.Sparks exploded as his metal bar struck the edge of the bla
Chapter 44 – Through the Inferno
The world blurred into red and orange. Heat seared Adrian’s lungs as he plummeted into the inferno below. Flames clawed at his skin, smoke stung his eyes, and chunks of burning debris tumbled past him like deadly missiles.For a heartbeat, the fire seemed endless, a living beast determined to devour him whole. Then instinct kicked in.Adrian twisted mid fall, angling toward a partially collapsed balcony jutting out from the building next to the burning wreckage.He crashed into it with a bone shattering impact, ribs screaming, shoulder nearly dislocated. The metal groaned beneath his weight, threatening to snap and send him plunging again.Emily’s voice rang through the chaos, muffled by smoke but urgent: “Adrian! Can you hear me?!”He coughed violently, blood and soot filling his mouth, but forced a nod. Survival demanded he focus, ignore the pain, and move.The firestorm below was chaotic. Steel twisted like molten taffy. Windows exploded as the heat made them shatter, sending shard
Chapter 43 – Masks in the Fire
The scaffolding moaned beneath Adrian’s boots, bolts tearing free with each shift of metal. The inferno roared below, casting the shadows of his enemies like twisted giants across the flames.Two figures advanced, silent, blades gleaming like silver fangs.Adrian’s lungs burned, every breath jagged from smoke and cracked ribs. His palms were shredded raw from the climb, slick with blood, but his grip on the iron railing tightened.He couldn’t afford to falter now not with Emily’s desperate cries echoing above, not with Mara’s assassins closing in.The first assassin moved like liquid, every step unnervingly soundless despite the unstable metal. His mask was painted in streaks of white and black, a predator’s grin carved across it. The second was bulkier, armored shoulders braced to bulldoze through any resistance.Adrian measured them with quick, sharp glances. Fast and precise. Strong and relentless. They were designed to complement each other.His ribs screamed as he pulled himself
Chapter 42 – Beneath the Flames
The scream of collapsing steel still echoed in Adrian’s ears as the world turned upside down. The rooftop dissolved into smoke and fire above him, fragments of glass and concrete tumbling alongside his body as he plummeted.The inferno rising from the floors below clawed at his skin, the heat a living beast trying to drag him under. For a breathless moment, he saw nothing but fire and shadows. Then his hand caught on something.A cable, swinging loose from the toppled crane, slapped into his palm. Pain ripped through his shoulder as his body jerked violently, but it stopped his descent. The cable creaked, unraveling fibers snapping one by one as he dangled above the raging blaze.“Adrian!” Emily’s voice tore down from above, shrill with terror. He glanced up to see her crouched on the crumbling ledge, hand stretched out into the smoke, eyes wild with fear.Grayson held her back with one arm, the other gripping a steel bar jammed into the rooftop for balance. But the rooftop was failin
