All Chapters of ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

The world was falling apart. Stone screamed as the chamber walls tore open, whole slabs shearing loose and plunging into the abyss below.Fire erupted from the fissures, lighting the ruins in an infernal glow. Above, the roof groaned like a dying beast, cracks spidering outward as dust rained down in choking clouds.Adrien’s lungs burned. His arms locked protectively around Liora as he staggered to his feet, his vision swimming from blood loss.She was limp against him, eyes half-lidded, fever-hot. Her small fingers clutched at his torn shirt as though she sensed everything crumbling around them.And at the center of the destruction, Sera. She stood rigid, her back arched unnaturally, her eyes blazing with white fire. Her hair whipped around her face in a storm of light and shadow.The Dominion writhed beneath her skin, each surge cracking her flesh like porcelain stretched to breaking. She was both radiant and terrifying. And her voice, the voice that wasn’t hers, still echoed.“Run.

The earth itself groaned beneath the weight of her power. Adrien stood in the courtyard, sword in one hand, Liora clutched in the other, watching as Sera hovered above the ruins, her body wreathed in fire and storm.Light bled from the cracks in her skin, her scream echoing with a thousand voices that weren’t her own. He had seen her fight, had seen her bleed and rise again. But this, this wasn’t battle. This was obliteration. The Dominion had taken her.“Adrien…” Her voice split the air, half hers, half something far older. Her head tilted, and for an instant her gaze found him. The fire in her eyes flickered, and he saw it, her.His Sera. His Queen. The woman who had fought beside him, who had loved, who had carried the weight of betrayal and still stood tall.But the next breath, the Dominion roared through her, and her voice twisted. “All shall bend. All shall break.”Adrien’s knuckles whitened around the sword hilt. His chest heaved with the weight of choice. He could stop her no

The world was fire. Not flame, but light so bright it burned through bone and memory. Adrien’s body was weightless, tumbling in the endless white.The roar of the explosion drowned every thought, every sound, every scream. Then silence. When sensation returned, it was agony.His lungs heaved, dragging in smoke and ash. His ears rang with an endless shrill tone. He forced his eyes open, and froze. The battlefield was gone.Where the fortress once stood, there was only ruin: scorched earth, shattered stone, the night sky torn open as though the stars themselves had bled into the world.The ground glowed with cracks of molten light, the air heavy with the stench of burning.Adrien staggered upright, blood running down his face, his sword half-melted and useless beside him. His first thought wasn’t for himself.“Liora”His heart nearly stopped until he saw her, only a few feet away, cradled in a cocoon of shimmering light. She stirred, groaning softly but alive.Relief hit him so hard his

The world came back in pieces. First sound, an endless ringing that drowned out everything else. Then touch, stone dust settling over Adrien’s skin, warm, gritty, suffocating.Then sight, flashes of red and white burned into his vision, smears of light across an ash-choked sky. He didn’t know if he was alive. He didn’t know if he was whole. But he knew one thing: Sera.He pushed against the rubble crushing his chest, muscles screaming, lungs tearing for air. Stone cracked and slid away. His arms shook violently, but he dragged himself free, coughing until blood laced his spit.“Sera!” His voice broke in the smoke. “SERA!”For a moment, silence answered. And then, A low groan.Adrien spun toward it. Through the haze, her body lay crumpled, half-buried under shattered obsidian. Blood streaked her face, but her chest still moved, shallow, trembling.He crawled to her, hands shaking as he pulled debris off her body. “Stay with me. Please, stay with me.”Her eyes fluttered open, unfocused.

The sky split open like glass under a hammer, spilling rivers of white fire across the ruin. The air vibrated, charged with a frequency that made bone ache and lungs collapse.Adrien and Sera staggered, shielding their eyes against the brilliance as Liora hovered above them, her small body thrumming with impossible power.Her scream didn’t end, it deepened, layered with voices not her own. It was a thousand echoes, a thousand dominions pressing through one fragile throat.Adrien’s every instinct screamed at him to move, to act, to rip her down from the air before the storm swallowed her. But the sheer force of it pinned him to the ground.His palms pressed into cracked earth as blood trickled from his nose, his body straining against pressure that felt like a mountain crushing his chest.Sera was on her knees, one hand pressed to her heart as though something inside it was tearing open. Her gaze stayed locked on Liora.“She’s slipping away…” she whispered, her voice raw with terror. “
