CHAPTER 125—THE ASCENSION OF SHADOW

The ground quaked beneath them, fissures splitting the scorched earth, jagged lines of light and shadow stretching across the horizon. The sky above tore into rips of grey and black, the clouds writhing like living things. From the horizon, the colossal shadow rose, its form now fully materialised—a being of incomprehensible scale, limbs stretching far beyond what the eye could grasp. Its eyes blazed with white fire, scanning the battlefield with predatory intelligence.

Riven tightened his grip on the artefact. Its threads pulsed faster than ever, lashing out like serpents of living energy, wrapping around him and Luca, binding them together. He could feel it reacting to the shadow, anticipating every move, every strike before it happened.

“We don’t have time to think!” Bishop shouted, stepping up beside them, eyes narrowing. “That thing isn’t just powerful—it’s smart. It learns. Every second you hesitate, it adapts!”

  • Ghost on the highway    Chapter 130

    CHAPTER 130 — THE GHOST OF EVERYTHINGThe storm had grown to a crescendo, a living, breathing entity of wind, shadow, and energy that clawed at their senses. Riven and Luca stood at the centre, threads of golden-red and shadow-black swirling violently around them, resisting the pull of the world-shattering tempest.And there it was—him. Or rather, something that resembled him.The figure’s eyes glowed with a piercing amber, the same as Saint’s, but there was a cold, unnatural void beneath the light that made Riven’s chest tighten. The energy around the being pulsed in waves, reacting to Riven and Luca’s combined force as if sizing them up, weighing them, and testing them.“I am what remains of him… and what he could not finish,” the figure said, voice layered and distorted, echoing with both familiarity and horror. “I am the reckoning you abandoned, the shadow of your choices, the ghost of everything you love.”Riven’s heart lurched. Memories of Saint—the laughs, the blood, the betray

  • Ghost on the highway    Chapter 129

    CHAPTER 129 — THE WAR WITHINDarkness. Endless, suffocating darkness.Riven’s eyes snapped open, but there was nothing to see. Not the twisted battlefield, not the fractured sky, not even the shards of earth floating like islands in a void. Only shadows that twisted and writhed as if alive, reaching for him, whispering secrets he didn’t want to hear.And then he felt it—the pulse. The artefact. Luca. The being inside him. It was everywhere, in everything, threading through his veins, in the marrow of his bones, wrapping around his thoughts.“Riven…” Luca’s voice echoed, not beside him, not in the physical sense, but inside his head. “We’re… together in this. Focus.”Riven took a deep breath, though air itself felt heavy, impossible. “I can feel it,” he muttered. “It’s… everywhere. It’s trying to… consume me.”The shadows shifted, forming shapes—faces from his past, taunting, accusing, judging. Saint’s eyes burnt with anger and betrayal. Bishop’s smirk was omnipresent, mocking, and ven

  • Ghost on the highway    Chapter 128

    CHAPTER 128 — THE ECLIPSE OF EVERYTHINGThe world was no longer recognisable. The sky had fractured into jagged shards of black and gold, lightning threading through the cracks like the veins of a dying god. The ground beneath them twisted and split, jagged cliffs floating impossibly in the air. Every step Riven and Luca took threatened to hurl them into the void below.And then the figure appeared again. Not walking, not running, but hovering, suspended in the storm of energy that had consumed the horizon. Its eyes glowed with a light and darkness that seemed impossible to distinguish. Threads of golden-red energy from Riven’s artefact and the black pulses of the dark artefact intertwined around it, feeding it, reshaping it into something beyond comprehension.“You… dare to resist?” The being’s voice was everywhere at once, a cacophony that vibrated in their bones. “Do you know what you are up against?”“We do,” Riven shouted, energy flaring violently around him. “We are the ones who

  • Ghost on the highway    Chapter 127

    CHAPTER 127 — THE DUALITY OF POWERThe world trembled beneath the weight of the black artefact. Its dark threads slithered across the horizon like living shadows, pulsing with a rhythm that seemed to echo the heartbeat of the earth itself. The sky above roiled violently, torn between the golden-red light of Riven’s artefact and the black void that now rose against it.Riven and Luca stood side by side, the artefact’s energy thrumming through them like fire in their veins. The threads wrapped around their arms, coiling, intertwining, feeding off their emotions—fear, determination, and above all, love.“We can’t just attack it,” Riven shouted over the roaring wind. “It’s… it’s feeding off everything we’ve got!”Luca’s eyes were locked on the dark artefact. “Then we don’t attack it. We fight it… together.”Bishop’s screams echoed from the horizon. The shadow holding him had tightened its grip, lifting him high above the ground. Riven’s chest tightened as he watched the man he’d trusted f

  • Ghost on the highway    Chapter 126

    CHAPTER 126 — THE SHATTERINGThe horizon tore open, and the new figures emerged—shadows taller than buildings, their forms shifting like liquid nightmares. They moved with purpose, each step fracturing the ground, sending fissures that glowed with molten light. The air burnt with static, thick and choking, as if the sky itself had caught fire.Riven tightened his grip on the artefact. It pulsed violently, threads lashing outward, responding to the immense threat. Luca’s hand found his again, their fingers intertwining. The bond between them amplified the artefact’s power, but even as the energy surged, the shadows advanced without hesitation.“They’re not just strong,” Bishop shouted, his voice almost lost to the roaring wind. “They’re coordinated! They know your moves before you make them!”Riven’s jaw clenched. “Then we’ll move faster. Strike harder. We don’t have a choice.”The first shadow struck. Its massive arm swung down like a collapsing tower. Riven reacted instinctively, thr
