The night wind brushed past his body, carrying the scent of burned stone and residual mana ash. For a moment, he didn’t move at all, as if afraid that even a single step would decide everything.
Above him, the estate guards held formation at a distance. Extraction mages kept their sigils active, glowing faintly like floating cages ready to snap shut. Seraph maintained

74. The Awakening Commander
The entire village trembled violently as the crimson symbol above the Abyss Vessel blazed brighter. Corruption flooded toward the creature from every direction, devouring the last traces of energy hidden beneath the settlement. The ground cracked apart while ancient runes emerged beneath the streets like veins spreading through a living body.Kael's expression hardened as he felt the Void Core react. The Third Ring pulsed repeatedly inside his chest, warning him of a threat unlike anything they had faced since leaving the Hollow Vault. Whatever was awakening below the village was not a random servant.It was something important.Something Azrath had been preparing for a very long time.The Abyss Vessel raised both arms toward the sky. Crimson light erupted from its body and connected with the massive formation hidden beneath the village. Every remaining building began collapsing as corruption consumed the foundations beneath them.Magnus
73. Beneath the Village
The crimson formation continued spreading beneath the village square. Ancient runes illuminated the ground in every direction, weaving together into a gigantic array that had remained hidden for who knew how many years. The peaceful appearance of the settlement vanished completely as corruption seeped from every crack in the earth.Magnus immediately stepped in front of the younger clan members while golden mana surged around his body. The pressure emerging from below was not as overwhelming as the Devourer, but it carried a different kind of danger. It felt ancient, patient, and deeply connected to the hidden network Azrath had spent centuries building.The darkness beneath the collapsed well churned violently. Dozens of crimson eyes stared upward from the abyss below, unmoving and silent. The sight alone was enough to make several elite guards instinctively grip their weapons tighter."What exactly is down there?" one guard muttered, his voice noticeably
72. The Vanished Village
The atmosphere immediately became tense.Magnus stared at the exhausted scout."A village disappeared?"The words sounded absurd.Villages could be attacked.Destroyed.Burned.But disappearing entirely?That was something else.---The scout nodded nervously."We confirmed it this morning."Sweat dripped down his face."The entire settlement is gone."---Kael exchanged a glance with Leon.Both sensed the same thing.This wasn't normal.---"What exactly did you find?" Seraph asked.The scout swallowed."Nothing."Silence followed.---"No corpses.""No signs of battle.""No monster tracks."The scout's voice shook slightly."The buildings are still standing."---That answer made e
71. Academy Invitation
A cold wind swept across Veyr territory.The celebration following the Hollow Vault incident had already faded. Clan members returned to their daily routines, yet an invisible tension lingered in the air.Everyone could feel it.Something had changed.Not only Kael.The world itself.---Kael stood atop a training platform overlooking the mountains.His eyes remained closed.The Void Core pulsed steadily within his chest.Since returning from the Hollow Vault, his control had improved significantly.Yet something felt different.---The Void was restless.---BOOM.The Third Ring pulsed.A faint image flashed through his mind.Crimson eyes.Ancient ruins.Azrath.---Kael immediately opened his eyes.The vision disappeared.---"Again?"<
70. After the Storm
Darkness faded slowly.The overwhelming pressure that had dominated the Hollow Vault for centuries finally disappeared.For the first time in countless years—Silence returned.True silence.---Kael opened his eyes.Pain immediately spread throughout his body.Every muscle ached.His Void Core felt exhausted.Even breathing required effort.---The first thing he saw was a stone ceiling.The second was Magnus sitting nearby.---"Good."The clan leader exhaled softly."You're awake."---Kael blinked several times.Memories returned instantly.The Devourer.The Abyss Gate.Aether.---His expression darkened."Aether..."---Silence filled the room.Magnus lowered his gaze briefly.The a
69. The Final Judgment
Aether vanished.Countless particles of violet light drifted through the sanctuary like stars scattered across the night sky.For a brief moment—Everything stopped.The battle.The chaos.Even the Devourer's struggle.---Kael stared at the fading lights.His mind refused to accept what had happened.The First Awakener.The guardian who had stood alone for centuries.The man who had carried the burden of the Hollow Vault.Gone.---The Void Core pulsed heavily.BOOM.A painful ache spread through Kael's chest.Not physical pain.Something deeper.The loss of a mentor.A guide.A friend.---The drifting lights suddenly moved.Thousands of particles gathered above the formation.The remnants of Aether's anchor merged with the ancient rune
