Chapter 170
The battlefield was still burning when the heavy silence fell. Smoke curled into the sky, black against the pale light of dawn. The stench of blood and fire clung to everything. Lena stood in the center of it all, her chest rising and falling with every sharp breath. She was exhausted, but she couldn’t afford to stop. Not yet. Too much was at stake.Her eyes scanned the broken ground. The enemy’s bodies were scattered everywhere, but she knew they weren’t done. Somewhere in the distance, she could hear the pounding of boots, the rattling of armor, and the guttural war cries of soldiers who refused to give in.Kai moved to her side, his sword dripping with blood. His face was covered in dirt, streaked with cuts, but his golden eyes burned with fire. He placed a hand on her shoulder. “They’re regrouping. This isn’t over.”“I know.” Lena’s voice was rough, almost broken, but steady. She forced herself to stand taller. The Zero Child was behind them, quiet, pale, watching everything with
Chapter 169
The smoke had not yet cleared when Lena pushed herself up from the broken ground. Her arms trembled, her chest burned, and the taste of blood filled her mouth, but she forced herself to stand. Around her, the battlefield was in chaos—clashing steel, cries of pain, and the thunder of powers colliding filled the air like a storm that would never end.She wiped the blood from her lips and searched through the haze. Kai was still standing, though barely. His shirt was ripped open, deep cuts marked his chest, and one arm hung at his side uselessly. Still, his eyes burned bright, sharp as blades, fixed on the towering enemy ahead of them—the general who refused to fall.The man stood like a mountain among the wreckage, his armor scorched but unbroken, his massive frame refusing to bend. Dark energy swirled around him like a living storm, each pulse making the air heavier and harder to breathe. His presence pressed down on Lena’s chest until every breath felt like she was drowning.“You two
Chapter 168 (SHADOWS WITHIN THE RUINS)
The ruins stretched endlessly before them, a labyrinth of broken stone, jagged metal, and echoes of battles long past. Lena’s breath came in shallow, fast gasps, each step forward sending shards of rubble skittering across the cracked ground. Dust choked the air, mingling with the faint hum of energy that clung to the ruins like a living thing.Kai led the way, his weapon ready, eyes scanning every shadow. His armor was scratched and dented from the last confrontation, and a streak of dried blood ran down his temple. But there was no hesitation in his movements. He had learned long ago that in moments like this, hesitation could mean death.The Zero Child floated slightly above the ground, small hands glowing with energy. His aura pulsed in response to the danger, a living rhythm of power that filled Lena with both hope and fear. She could feel the boy’s heartbeat as if it were her own, and it reminded her of what they were fighting for.“We can’t stay here,” Kai said quietly, his voi
Chapter 167 ( ECHOES OF THE HIDDEN ENEMY)
The ruins around them were silent, but the air vibrated with a tension that refused to fade. Dust swirled in streaks of light, and the cracks in the stone walls glowed faintly from residual energy. Lena’s muscles ached, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath. Every nerve in her body screamed at her to stay alert, to not let her guard down.Kai stood beside her, his eyes scanning every shadow, every flicker of movement. Blood had dried on his arm from earlier wounds, but the set of his jaw and the intensity in his gaze showed he was far from beaten. The Zero Child hovered slightly above the cracked floor, his small frame glowing faintly as energy coiled around him like living fire.“We can’t stay here,” Kai said quietly, voice low but steady. “That last wave of energy may have driven them back, but there’s always more. Something is watching. Waiting.”Lena nodded, gripping the Zero Child’s hand tightly. “I know. I can feel it… like shadows crawling over my skin. They’re clo
Chapter 166 ( SHADOWS OF THE NEW THREAT)
The air in the ruined chamber still vibrated with the remnants of energy from the battle. Dust drifted in the pale light, and shards of stone lay scattered across the floor. Lena’s chest heaved as she tried to catch her breath. Her body ached from bruises and scratches, but more than that, her mind was restless, buzzing with adrenaline and the strange energy of the Zero Child.Kai leaned against a cracked wall, examining the fallen cloaked figure carefully. Even unconscious, the figure radiated an unnatural aura of power. He had fought them, and yet, somehow, Lena, Kai, and the boy had survived. That thought alone sent a shiver down Kai’s spine.“Are we safe?” Lena asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Kai shook his head. “Safe? Not yet. That wasn’t just a soldier or a creature. That was someone… something else. Someone who knows how to push back against the Zero Child’s power.”The boy remained still, energy coiling around him in faint sparks. His eyes, normally bright and innocen
Chapter 165 (THE FINAL CLASH BEGINS)
The chamber trembled violently as the pulse of energy from the glowing core intensified. Lena’s ears rang with the roar of power, and the ground beneath them quaked with every step of the cloaked figure. Sparks of blue and black energy streaked through the air, casting long, jagged shadows across the walls. Lena’s heart pounded, but she refused to let fear control her.Kai crouched beside her, weapon in hand, eyes sharp, scanning every movement. His shoulder bled, his clothes torn, but he was ready. Every fiber of him radiated determination. He was not just fighting for survival—he was fighting for them, for Lena, for the Zero Child, for the chance to end this nightmare.The Zero Child stood between them, small but brimming with a strange, almost terrifying energy. His hands glowed, sparks dancing along his fingers. He inhaled sharply, then released a pulse of power that sent a shockwave through the chamber, knocking several shadow soldiers back. Lena felt the energy ripple under her
