Chapter 043Lucia experienced a rapid heartbeat while standing by herself in the poorly lit room. The heavy truth burdened her while the walls seemed to collapse around her.The truth Nero exposed to her exceeded everything she had ever thought possible.The pieces of her past decisions and the curse that had haunted her since time began started forming clear images in her mind.The events of her life extended beyond what fate had dealt her. She actively participated in every aspect of what had occurred.She lost focus on her surroundings while fighting to maintain her stability. She shut her eyes to experience memories that did not belong to her as she witnessed her past self and Lunaria, who had cursed herself.She experienced everything again while gaining the present-day understanding she had not possessed in her past. The sudden clarity brought forth a torrent of emotions, which included guilt, deep sorrow, and intense regret that seemed timeless.Nero spoke in her thoughts, "You

Chapter 045Lucia's heart pounded while she trailed Nero through his palace corridors, where the torchlight created moving shadows across the walls. Her footsteps created an endless echo that seemed to press against the walls that surrounded her.The weight of her recent discoveries about the curse and her decisions and sacrifices continued to swirl through her mind as Nero guided her toward a concealed location.“Where are we going?” Lucia spoke with a calm tone, but her words betrayed her nervousness.Nero turned his face toward her with a somber expression. Lucia, you must grasp the complete truth. The curse contains secrets that extend beyond your current understanding.The heaviness of his words made her frown. More? What additional secrets could exist?The hallway led to a wooden door at its end. The door consisted of dark ancient wood, which showed signs of wear, and it held enigmatic symbols that had been carved into its surface.The door radiated a powerful force that caused
Chapter 046Nero experienced heavy heartbeats as he faced Lupero's spiritual dungeon entrance. He understood this marked the end of all battles. Their journey had brought them to this point where they could no longer retreat.Lucia remained at his side with a determined face that also showed her doubts. The divine energy from her sword glowed faintly as she held it tightly while her hand remained clenched around the hilt.The curse that had trapped her existence for countless lifetimes no longer confined her because she fought to liberate herself.“You’re ready, right?” Nero spoke with a low tone while showing deep worry.Lucia nodded her response. At that moment, Nero saw the immense burden she was carrying as she stared at the door in front of her.She was about to confront Lupero, the being who controlled her life through deception and distorted her entire understanding of reality.Lupero was the one who had caused her such extensive suffering. She had to end it. The steady tone o
Chapter 047Lucia knelt next to Nero while her hands shook as she held his wounded body and detected his weak breathing through his chest movements.His face revealed the agony he felt while his breathing remained short and strained.The heavy burden of their recent experiences, including the battle and curse-breaking, began to sink into her body.She looked at the floor, where his blood combined with the remaining dark energy that clung to the space. They had done it. Lupero had vanished.She had lifted the curse. But it came at a price, She doubted her readiness to pay this cost.She spoke his name with a broken voice. She carefully held his face to make him meet her eyes. "Nero, stay with me."His eyes opened with a dull expression, yet his gaze remained warm. "Lucia..." His words escaped his throat as a whisper. "You did it."Lucia’s eyes filled with tears while she moved closer to Nero to rest her forehead against his. "We did it. We finally broke the curse. Her voice broke as sh
Chapter 048Lucia remained by herself in the middle of the room while she took deep, measured breaths. The atmosphere surrounding her became weightless because a massive burden had disappeared from her body.She took a brief pause to let freedom's sensation envelop her.She experienced this sensation that she had yearned for and envisioned throughout countless lifetimes.The curse that had tormented her vanished completely, so she finally experienced absolute freedom.She opened her eyes to see the world around her, which now appeared different to her.The sunlight through windows revealed a world with enhanced brightness and intensified colours, which made everything seem newly created. And in a way, it had.She experienced the divine power flowing through her body because the curse no longer confined or twisted it."Is this what it feels like?" she whispered to herself. "To be free?"A quick smile crossed her face before her heart started racing in her chest. The past remained in he
Chapter 049Matteo positioned himself at the rooftop's edge while gazing down at the city below him, and a subtle grin appeared on his face.The streetlights below created a starlike effect that seemed distant and tiny before becoming completely unimportant.The scene served as an ideal representation of his current worldview. He maintained his position as the master of all games since everything had operated as a game.The wind pulled at his dark coat while he experienced a surge of excitement. He had been through so much. His defeat did not mark the end of his journey because he remained active. The speed at which his fortunes shifted became a source of amusement to him.Lucia thought she had won. She believed she had succeeded in breaking the curse. The curse maintained its hold on this world, yet he discovered a way to exploit its power.He turned his face from the window with narrowed eyes to enter the room where his new coalition waited. His arrival caused the shadows to move wh
Chapter 050Lucia traversed through the woods while the familiar leaf rustling beneath her boots provided stability as the heavy burden from the previous days weighed down on her.The fight against Matteo remained unresolved, so Lucia needed to summon all her available power.She despised needing help, yet she understood she needed assistance to confront him without being alone. This time, she was determined not to be alone.Her thoughts swirled with doubt. Throughout her life, she maintained independence because she needed no help from anyone else.The knowledge that she fought to protect everything she had worked for created a heavy burden that dragged her down.The forest grew thick with shadows while the evening sun disappeared behind the tree line. The clearing appeared through the trees as she breathed in the refreshing air while following the well-known path to the spot she had visited before.She questioned whether the attackers would keep their appointment. She muttered to he
Chapter 086Kalyndria opened her eyes. Her body was still hurting from the damage the battle had done to her, and she was breathing in short, sharp gasps.However, she was still alive. She was wounded, but not broken or defeated. . I am not ready to give up just yet.She raised her hand, staring at the thin slivers of magic flickering across her fingertips like dying embers. It wasn't enough, but it was all she had left. It wouldn't be sufficient to complete the task she had begun.Images of Lucia's disobedience, Nero's meddling, and the never-ending power struggle raced through her head.She had had the Fire of the Moonthe Bloodod Moon itself, but it had escaped her grasp, leaving her scarred but with choices.At least there had to be a clear way forward. She would ensure that the path was clear.Kalyndria stood up, her bare feet chilled by the chilly stone of her haven. She welcomed the dust and decay that pervaded the air inside the secret temple.The walls held numerous sacrifices
Chapter 085As the wind howled through the mountain pass's narrow path, Dante's hands clenched around the hilt of his sword. His breath came in irregular, shallow gasps, and every step felt like a thousand burdens.Even though his past had always hovered over him like a shadow, he was resolved to put it behind him today.He would prove himself today, if not to the entire world, then at least to Lucia, who was the most important person.The stakes were high, but the mission was straightforward. In order to prevent Matteo from unleashing his evil magic, he and the team needed to recover an old artifact.Dante had offered to lead the risky portion, but Lucia took the lead.He could feel the pull of his former life, the darkness that had long defined him, the farther they ventured into enemy territory. Now, however, he was fighting for redemption.He saw a vision of Lucia's face, her eyes full of something other than determination. It might have been hope. Perhaps it was trust.He hadn't
Chapter 084Alessandro sat in the dimly lit chamber, a soft fire flickering in the hearth before him.The room was quiet, save for the occasional rustle of the papers scattered across the wooden table in front of him.The ancient walls of the mansion held an eerie still as if the very air was holding its breath, waiting for what was to come next.The task ahead weighed heavily on him, yet he had never shied away from responsibility.Tonight, he was not just Alessandro Stellini. He was a strategist, a leader, a man whose alliances would determine the fate of their world.Lucia had entrusted him with this mission to unite the forces that would stand against the chaos Matteo and Kalyndria sought to unleash. And Alessandro, despite his doubts, would not fail her.The door to the chamber creaked open, and he looked up to see Isabella step inside, her eyes sharp and focused, as always.Her presence was a comfort in this tense moment, a reminder that he was not alone in this fight."Have yo
Chapter 083Gasping for breath, Lucia stood at the base of the Italian Alps, staring up at the jagged rocks that hid the ancient temple she sought.The fresh aroma of the snow-capped mountains blended with the scent of pine trees in the crisp air.It was not only the physical weight of the Heart of Lunaria that was heavy in her hands. It was the weight of accountability and the knowledge that her decisions could either preserve or ruin everything she held dear.She had reached this point in her journey where she would confront the unknown and enter the center of power beyond her comprehension.The knowledge of Eldrin's increasing power weighed heavily on her heart, and the road ahead was dangerous. Though doubt gnawed at her insides, she had no choice but to move forward."Are you sure about this?" Nero's voice broke the silence, and he was always there by her side.Lucia looked at him, his expression a mix of resolve and worry. She could see the fear in his eyes the fear of failing,
Chapter 082Isabella's fingers hovered over the ancient book, its pages smudged but still readable from years of turning.Her heart pounded as she turned the pages of the yellowed parchment, the words drawing her further into the mystery of Eldrin, the mighty creature who had suddenly materialized.She had been having visions that were getting more precise and distinct. But they were still illogical. Similar to a puzzle that needs to be assembled, the pieces were dispersed.She was trying to make connections as her mind raced. Not only was Eldrin a strong being, but he was also something much older, with ties to the Blood Moon.Prophecies from antiquity that mentioned equilibrium and forces that could either tip the scales in favor of life or destruction had never been clear.However, this was something different. Eldrin was not a normal person. He was the final member of a lineage that had been developed since the beginning of time in order to preserve the harmony between chaos and o
Chapter 081Matteo Vulpin stood in the dimly lit room, his back straight and his fingers resting lightly on the cold wood of the table. The walls around him felt like they were closing in, the air heavy with the tension he had built over months.Usually, he played a slow, calculated game, but tonight, something felt different. Everything was about to shift, and he knew it.His next move would shock Lucia's coalition, leaving them vulnerable and exposed.The plan was set in motion a long time ago. Lucia meticulously crafted every detail, perfectly timing each betrayal and assassination.One by one, Lucia's once-strong alliances began to crumble. He couldn’t help but feel a slight satisfaction as he imagined the fear spreading through her ranks.Matteo’s gaze flickered toward the map on the table before him.He was not only interested in the supernatural world but also in the lucrative mafia world.Lucia had trusted too many people too many people who had already chosen their sides.He k
Chapter 080Sophia’s eyes flickered open, her vision blurry at first, the darkness around her swarming with fragmented images. Her mind felt like a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces scattered, waiting to be put together.She could feel the pulse of her heart, slow and heavy, as though something had been stolen from her, something vital that she could not yet recall.A voice whispered in the back of her mind, sharp and full of malice. “You’re not whole yet. Not yet.”She blinked, trying to make sense of the words, but they faded into the shadows as she pushed herself to sit up. The air smelled thick with magic, familiar yet foreign, as if the very fabric of reality had been altered.She could feel the power pulsing through her veins, her body still not entirely her own but stronger than she remembered.The ritual had worked. But it had been incomplete.Sophia’s hand pressed against her forehead, the memories flooding back in flashes images of betrayal, anger, and a thirst for revenge.She reme
Chapter 079The night in Corciano had always been peaceful. The cool breeze swept through the streets, carrying the scent of fresh flowers from the nearby gardens. It was the kind of place where the supernatural lived quietly among the humans, each of them keeping their heads down, knowing their place in the world.There was a calm here, a sort of stillness that settled in the heart. But all of that would change in an instant.A crackle of energy split the air, followed by a low rumble like thunder. The ground trembled beneath their feet, and the night sky, which had been clear and serene, darkened as if something unseen was blocking out the stars.A sudden, sharp gust of wind blew through the trees, rattling the branches and sending leaves spiraling into the air.Then, the figure appeared.Eldrin stood at the center of the town square, his presence undeniable. He was tall, his long hair flowing like dark silk around his shoulders.His eyes, glowing faintly with a light that seemed bo
Chapter 078As Nero observed the mayhem all around him, his heart raced. As Matteo's army swept through the room, the Heart of Lunaria flickered feebly on the table, its light fading.The dark magic swirled in the air, thick and suffocating, and he could feel its oppressive weight.Lucia was only a few paces away, and her eyes reflected his desperation.She had to finish the ceremony, She had to complete what she had begun.However, Matteo's troops had already arrived, and they would not give up until they had Lucia and the Heart."No!" With a roar, Nero moved ahead of her, his hands automatically grabbing hold of his divine power. "Remain back!"The soldiers paused, obviously not anticipating opposition. However, the sinister energy that pervaded the space propelled them forward, and the first blow came like a wave, strong and relentless.Nero barely flinched, even though he felt the impact of their spell. This time, though, something was different. He was accustomed to the weight of
