Chapter 061Kalyndria positioned herself at the temple's edge while staring at the Blood Moon filling the night sky. The deep crimson illumination revealed her sharp facial features and illuminated the ancient stones.The wind blew through her dark robes, creating a lifelike movement. The Blood Moon's power surged through her senses while she displayed a sadistic smile on her lips.Her plan was in motion, and its different elements started to align perfectly. She would soon achieve a divine power that surpassed the power of all gods.She spoke in a hushed tone, her voice carrying both excitement and eagerness. The world will recognize my supremacy. Lucia will fade into oblivion because she exists only as a fading memory.She used a quick motion of her wrist to summon dark energy, which spun through the air. The earth shook under her feet, sensing the immense power she was about to unleash.A chilling laugh emerged from her lips. The Blood Moon functioned as a weapon and the essential
Chapter 062Lucia stood with her hands resting on the cold table in the middle of the war room while examining the maps before her.The Blood Moon remained eternally visible in the sky, showing a reddish color that never ceased warning about impending danger.The world seemed to bear a mark of destruction, and Lucia understood that their swift action remained their only hope of preserving anything from being lost.She took a deep breath as her thoughts flew through the faces of everyone who had supported her thus far. Allies. But now, she needed more.The situation demanded more allies than she could trust because the consequences were too severe. Protecting Kalyndria was only one purpose of our mission so far.The survival of the supernatural world depended on their immediate action to prevent its collapse.Lucia spoke with a firm voice, yet her words carried the severe burden of her upcoming action.The group requires additional people to stand with us. We need extra allies to defea
Chapter 063The struggle of the upcoming combat pushed heavily onto Lucia as she took a position in front of her soldiers.The atmosphere was heavy with anxiety as every member of her coalition watched the horizon because Kalyndria's forces were approaching.The people had planned for this critical time over weeks by executing training sessions while developing strategies and forming diplomatic ties.These soldiers never experienced anything that could adequately prepare them for the horrors of war.She asked the question with composure even though her thoughts raced uncontrollably.The leader of the House of Shadows, Dominic Castello, surveyed their surroundings while giving a nod to signal readiness. “We’ve waited long enough. Kalyndria will experience a complete surprise when we strike.Auron adjusted the unusual glowing artifact that hung around his neck while standing beside Dominic. “I’ve seen Kalyndria’s power firsthand.She possesses a power that extends beyond danger to becom
Chapter 064The darkness of night did not extinguish the burning passion Lucia felt inside. She gazed at the massive fortress rising into the sky, its spires extending like dark talons from the darkness.The fortress of Kalyndria, which had previously seemed impossible to reach, now stood before Lucia as its dark shadow dominated the landscape.She carried the heavy burden of what lay before them as she sensed the powerful fight that would shape their destiny.She gave the command in a controlled tone filled with impatience, directing us to move regrettably in absolute silence and maintain constant proximity.The pair acknowledged the mission's extreme dangers, which surpassed their previous experiences.Their alliance had evolved since their initial partnership, and now, with Kalyndria's fortress in front of them, they stood on the brink of ending the war that had ravaged their world.A dense magical fog covered the fortress's approach, and the surrounding air became heavy with encha
Chapter 065Lucia examined the map before her as candlelight shifted shadows throughout the space. She hurriedly thought about their upcoming strategy. The fortress of Kalyndria appeared in the distance, and their every decision became more vital than ever.She brushed her hair aside while fatigue pulled at her body, but she refused to stop working. Not now.Her allies gathered the pieces of her puzzle around her as she desperately worked to solve it. Auron and Isabella exchanged quiet words while their expressions remained tense in the corner of the room.Lucia didn't blame them, Everyone was on edge. A growing suspicion gnawed at her mind that something hidden existed within their organization.A sudden voice belonging to Isabella jolted Lucia out of her thoughts. She turned toward her friend because she felt the tension in the room. "We need to talk.""About what?" Lucia maintained a calm voice as she asked this question. She doubted her ability to bear additional negative news dur
Chapter 066Lucia positioned herself at the ritual site's border. The wind whipped through her body as thunderstorms flashed across the dark sky.The Blood Moon drew near, offering her the last opportunity to break the curse that had plagued her since the beginning of time.The gravity of the situation compressed her chest as she remembered all their struggles.The necessary components for the ritual required attention from her allies, who maintained grim determination on their faces.Auron and Isabella established defensive magical barriers around the area to shield them from Kalyndria's military forces.A heavy tension filled the air because the earth seemed to understand the importance of the situation.A dark feeling of foreboding entered Lucia's mind. The ritual demanded completion, yet she understood it would require a significant loss.The price of the ritual seemed too steep to bear. The curse might remain unstoppable even after completing the ritual.Isabella focused on placi
Chapter 067During the Blood Moon's celestial event, Lucia remained at its center while her body experienced both fear and anticipation through trembling motions.Ancient power flowed through the ground, supporting Lucia, causing pulse-like, thready vibrations.The sky displayed a wild dance of red and violet colors, which seemed to split the heavens because of the powerful energy released during that moment.A rare and dangerous Blood Moon event hung in the sky above the battlefield, while its shadow created an unsettling illumination across the battlefield.Short bursts of breath escaped her as she tightened her fists. Kalyndria faced Lucia while her lips formed a sinister grin. The atmosphere was tense as the upcoming fight created heavy pressure in Lucia's chest.This was it—the final confrontation. This instant represented the culmination of all that had happened before it.“You believe you can halt my path, Lucia?” Kalyndria spoke with a low mocking tone that seemed playful, yet
Chapter 068Lucia walked through the city streets, the air crisp and the surrounding silence overwhelming after months of turmoil. It felt strange, peaceful, even.The curse of the Blood Moon ended while the supernatural world showed signs of returning to normalcy.The peace seemed as fragile as a glass sculpture that could easily break from improper contact.Lucia had dedicated all her strength to achieving this moment of serenity. Throughout her journey, she lost numerous things, including friends, allies, and essential parts of herself.The city's reconstruction made it difficult to ignore all the experiences Lucia had endured since the supernatural world stabilized. She had survived. She had won. But at what cost?“Are you sure you’re alright?” Auron’s voice cut through her thoughts. His eyes moved across the city while he stood beside her, sharing the same deep thoughts she experienced.Lucia gave a brief nod, but her eyes remained distant. She spoke the words, but they lacked an
Chapter 184The moonlight barely broke through the dense clouds overhead, bathing the deserted courtyard in a pale glow. With his eyes sweeping the group in front of him, Eldrin stood in the middle, a commanding yet unsettling presence.Tension pervaded the air, and an unsaid uneasiness hung over them like a mist. Despite the preparation of Lucia, Nero, and their closest allies, the uneasiness in their eyes revealed their concern.Eldrin's icy, decisive voice broke the silence, "I've seen enough." His hands clenched at his sides, he took a step forward. There was an unavoidable weight to his words. Lucia squinted, her posture defensive. "Eldrin, what do you mean? We have already fought together and accomplished a tremendous deal. This—this isn't you.Eldrin's eyes shifted to her, but they were no longer warm or respectful. Eldrin's gaze had turned gloomier. Lucia, you are blind. All of you, including Nero, are playing like kids in the dark. You don't realise how ugly the truth is. W
Chapter 183Lucia stood looking around the ruins at the entrance to the ancient, dilapidated temple. Her lungs were filled with the subtle smell of old stone and the heavy dust. As if the walls themselves were speaking to her, she could almost hear the echoes of the past.The uncertainty weighed heavily on her chest, even though she had come here to find answers. But what if it was already too late? What if they'd already lost the artefact they were looking for?"Are we certain that this is the location?" As he stepped next to her, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, Nero's voice broke the stillness with doubtful words.Lucia looked at him, frowning. "We have no other option. There's a reason Dante left this behind. This artefact may be our only chance to defeat Kalyndria, Eldrin, and the others.Nero looked at her and said, "I know," his voice growing softer as his worry became apparent. "However, what if it's too risky? "What if this is just another trap?"Lucia bit her lip i
Chapter 182It was difficult for Lucia to breathe because of the oppressive darkness in her head, which felt like a heavy weight against her chest.This was different because she had been through a lot and fought battles that left her emotionally and physically exhausted.This seemed more profound and intimate. She was losing herself— losing control.Then she noticed a flicker, a glimmer of light, as though the world around her were momentarily withdrawing. "Lucia..."The sound was barely audible above the wind. However, it was recognisable. "Valeria?" The name came out incredulously as Lucia's voice broke.She spun around and looked around, but there was something there. In front of her was a figure that glowed dimly, like a moonlit ghost.It was Valeria—her soul, her gentle face— with an indisputable sadness.Valeria's voice echoed, "I'm still here," but this time it was in her head, as distinct as if she were standing next to her. "Lucia, I'll be here forever. when you require my
Chapter 181The once-bright glow that surrounded Lucia now flickered like a dim candle, fighting the cold, and her breath was shallow.Uncomfortably, she felt weak. Like sand through her fingers, the divine energy that had always flowed through her, steady and unwavering, was vanishing. Every step she took felt heavier than the one before it.How much time had passed since Kalyndria was first affected by her enchantment? Days, perhaps weeks, passed. However, time no longer mattered. It was this overwhelming sense of helplessness that consumed her with every breath.Before it was too late, she needed to figure out how to escape and get back on her feet.She stumbled into the old temple, its walls weathered and ancient yet eerily serene. Here, the quiet seemed different, as if it were awaiting an event for her to take action."What's causing my weakness?" With her hand leaning against the chilly stone wall for balance, Lucia pondered."Whatever became of me? Why am I unable to fight thi
Chapter 180Standing in the shadows of the celestial hall, Alessandro's eyes glowed with a darkness so dark that it was like a chill wind on the skin.They were assembling for another session of their never-ending bureaucracy, the gods who ruled supremely, who made the decisions for every realm.However, things weren't going as planned this time. He was determined to destroy everything this time.He was no longer simply Alessandro Stellini. He was no longer the same person who had once been lost, perplexed, and looking for purpose.He was so much more now. He had transformed into a more profound entity. This event has the potential to shake the sky to its core.He realised that now was the time, as he stood there observing the celestial council's gods. He would make his move at this point.The gods were certain that no one could challenge their authority because they were so sure of their own power. However, they were mistaken.The gods sat around the enormous table, one by one. There
Chapter 179With the horizon blazing with the first rays of dawn and the wind ripping at her hair, Lucia stood at the edge of the battle-scarred hill. The crimson-streaked sky appeared to be lamenting the losses of the previous few days.She could still hear Dante's final act of bravery and sacrifice. She could hear his voice, determined and firm, telling her to keep fighting. The thought of him made her heart ache, but she had no time to be sad. She needed to respect his legacy. It couldn't be a pointless sacrifice."Dante..." she murmured to the wind. "I'll ensure that your battle was worthwhile. I promise not to disappoint you.Her allies' well-known faces started to assemble around her as she spoke. Aidan approached with a slow but determined gait, his normally upbeat face tinged with sorrow. A shared pain filled his eyes as they met hers. He spoke softly, his voice bearing the weight of their shared loss, "Lucia, we all feel it." "Dante is no longer there. However, his battle i
Chapter 178Valeria stood in the middle of the darkened room, and the tension in the air was palpable. Outside, the wind howled as its icy fingers slithered through the stone walls' crevices. Lucia was at her side, her eyes wide with terror, but now there was no time for comfort. Valeria could no longer ignore the weight of fate pressing down on her chest. Lucia looked at her, her face whitened, her voice growing panicked. "What's going on, Valeria? Why do you appear so...?"Lucia, I don't have time to explain." Although Valeria spoke steadily, a storm raged within. The prophecy, an old power that had always been just out of her grasp, began to pull her. It had led her to this point— to this decision. She had anticipated it. Wasn't it always supposed to be her?When Lucia reached for Valeria's arm, her hand shook. "I'm afraid of you. "There isn't enough time for an explanation. Could you clarify what you mean? What is going on?Valeria looked directly into the younger woman's eyes an
Chapter 177Lucia stood in the middle of the war room, looking at her trusted allies' faces. The tension in the room was palpable, as if the walls themselves carried the weight of the decision hovering over them.She sensed the familiar unity—until it vanished. The sensation of something shifting or going wrong created a pit of coldness in her stomach.Even though Kalyndria was standing at the big wooden table with her back straight and her eyes focused, there was a slight change in her demeanour today.There was something strange about the way she gazed at Lucia.In an attempt to dispel the nagging doubt, Lucia forced a smile. She tried to sound more assured than she actually was when she said, "We need to move quickly." "The forces of the enemy are near. We must attack while they are still gaining ground.Kalyndria gave a nod but remained silent. Given that she had been one of Lucia's most ardent supporters, her silence was unnerving.Lucia noticed the tension in the room and looked
Chapter 176Eldrin stood on the edge of the world, his body encircled by tendrils of shadow, his form fluttering with dark energy. The earth shuddered beneath him, and the air crackled with raw power,He sensed the blending of his spirit with the evil powers.He became stronger and more dangerous with each connection and dark entity he absorbed. There was clarity amidst the chaos that swirled inside his mind. Every thought, every soul, every glimmer of magic in the realms he could feel it all.This was more power than he could have ever imagined.He let out a quiet laugh, barely audible above the sound of the wind. He whispered to himself, "Soon, all will be mine." With the strength he had acquired, his voice reverberated in a deep, resonant hum that shook the very fabric of reality.He had once been a mere mortal, an ambitious man who aspired to be in charge of his own fate. He was more now, a creature of the dark, a symbol of chaos and devastation.He gained control over forces he ha
