CHAPTER 122

“It is ready,” Nihareth said, his voice thick with hunger and power.

The ruined cathedral trembled under the weight of something ancient. The stained glass windows had long shattered, but the skeletal arches still reached toward a sky long forgotten—crimson, choked with swirling clouds and hints of void. In the center of the shattered altar, the first Cultfire burned.

Not red. Not orange.

Black.

Black fire, licking the air with tendrils of ink and stars, pulsing with a rhythm not of this world. It gave no heat—only weight. Heavy. Crushing. Divine and wrong at once.

Behind him, gods knelt.

Not all. But enough.

Old gods. Bitter gods. Forgotten gods. Those whose names hadn’t been spoken in eons. Betrayed, cast out, or simply ignored by the Hall of Ascendancy. Nihareth had found them. Promised them power. Worship. Revenge.

And they had come.

One of them, cloaked in robes of cracked gold, approached with a trembling hand. “As you instructed, my lord… the Horn of Sevrin. Unblemi

    "Did you hear that?" Elias sat upright, heart hammering.A shrill scream pierced the stillness of the night again, followed by a bone-chilling roar. The ward around the estate should have prevented anything from getting close. This wasn't just a scream. It was a breach.Lucian was already up and gripping his sword. "That sounded like it came from the eastern wing.""Something shattered the ward," Dorian muttered, hand already glowing with energy. "I felt it go."Kai groaned, rubbing his eyes. "I swear to all the gods if this is another test, I’m going to kill someone.""It’s not a test," Kairis said tightly. She was already reaching for her twin daggers, her eyes glowing faintly. "Move. Now."The group bolted down the hallway. The floor trembled beneath their feet, and a horrid stench reached them—sulfur, blood, and something older, fouler.They reached the courtyard just as the first creature lunged.It was grotesque—part wolf, part insect, its face twisted, malformed wings beating b

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 121

    CHAPTER 121“You there,” Isadora purred, stepping through the shattered gates of the celestial outpost. “Don’t run. It’ll only make it worse.”The guard—a lower celestial wrapped in silver robes—froze mid-step, his blade trembling in his hands. Behind him, the others scrambled to raise wards, alarms flaring with golden light.“Lady Isadora,” the captain called from the inner wall, eyes wide. “You are trespassing—this is a divine stronghold sanctioned by the Hall of Ascendancy. Leave, or face judgment.”Isadora smiled slowly. Her white dress shimmered with blood-red runes, and her hair, unbound, twisted in the wind like silk caught in a storm.“Judgment?” She stepped forward. “How quaint. I’ve come for the souls. Be a dear and surrender them.”“Never.” The captain raised his blade, its edge glowing with holy power. “You will not pass.”She sighed. “So dramatic.”In the blink of an eye, she vanished—then reappeared behind him, driving her hand into his back. He gasped as her nails, shar

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 120

    CHAPTER 120“It’s too quiet,” Elias said.Lucian glanced over from where he was checking the perimeter with Kairis and Dorian. “You always say that when you’re about to blow something up.”“I’m serious.” Elias’s voice dropped. His golden eyes scanned the courtyard. “Something’s... wrong.”Kairis straightened. “You feel something?”Elias didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he stepped forward, barefoot against the stone, head tilting slightly like he was listening to a frequency only he could hear.Then he stopped.“There,” he whispered.He knelt in the dirt, brushing his fingers over a faint shimmer of air—barely visible, barely there. The others tensed. A moment later, a burst of violet flame erupted from Elias’s palm, burning the illusion away. Beneath it, seared into the stone, was a rune—twisting, malicious, glowing with celestial gold.Lucian’s breath caught. “That’s—”“A volatile celestial rune,” Elias finished darkly. “One meant to destabilize divine mind... my mind.”Dorian gro

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 119

    CHAPTER 119The library was silent save for the soft rustle of ancient pages and the occasional creak of wood. “This book says some high-rank creatures increased their power through shared blood rituals,” he muttered, frowning.Dorian looked up from a thick volume of his own. “Rituals? Sounds risky.”Kai huffed. “Everything we’re doing is risky. I just—”He sighed, rubbing his temples.Dorian closed his book and stood. “You’ve been off since morning. What’s wrong?”“I’m fine,” Kai said quickly, bending down to retrieve a scroll that had slipped off the table. As he did, his ass brushed lightly against Dorian.It was an accident. Truly.But Dorian froze. Then, almost as if something snapped, he reached out, grabbed Kai’s waist, and turned him around.Kai’s eyes widened. “Dorian—”“I can’t keep pretending,” Dorian growled, low and rough, before pulling Kai into a hard kiss.Kai moaned before he could stop himself, his fingers tightening around Dorian’s sleeves. The kiss deepened instan

    CHAPTER 118“You don’t want to remember him,” Alistair said, stepping from the shadows of the corridor, “But you will.”Elias froze.His body had already tensed, his senses flaring—Azazel stirred the instant the familiar chill entered the room. Thal’rean’s energy surged like a warning bell.“Alistair.” Elias said his name with clenched teeth, golden eyes narrowing. “I didn’t summon you.”“No,” Alistair replied with a wry smirk, lifting a crystalline shard glowing faintly purple and silver, “But you need me.”The memory shard pulsed between his fingers—soft, ethereal, like a heartbeat echoing in glass.“Put it away,” Elias warned, stepping back. “If I wanted to remember, I would’ve by now.”“That’s the thing,” Alistair said, walking slowly, deliberately. “You did want to. Once. But then you changed your mind. Buried it so deep that even I couldn’t pry it loose.”“Why would I—?” Elias’s voice caught.Alistair tilted his head. “Because it hurt. And because he was the one who broke you.”
