All Chapters of ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

The fall was endless. Stone, ash, and shards of ruin tore past them as gravity ripped them into the chasm.Sera clutched at the air, her fingers stretching toward that small, glowing hand, but the earth crumbled faster than she could reach. The darkness swallowed them whole.Adrien’s arms locked around her waist, pulling her against him as they plummeted. “Hold on!” His voice was a ragged roar, almost drowned out by the howling void.The abyss wasn’t just empty, it was alive. Whispers slithered against their ears, brushing against their skin like cold breath. Faces flickered in the dark, pale and shifting, their mouths forming words that did not belong to human tongues.Sera thrashed, desperate to break free of Adrien’s hold. “Let me go! She’s here, I can feel her!” Her voice cracked under the weight of panic.“You’ll lose yourself if you dive blind!” Adrien snarled, his grip unrelenting. “You can’t help her if you’re consumed too!”Her answer was a scream of fury, power erupting from

The scream didn’t end. It tore through the cavern like a blade, shaking the air until the walls bled molten light. Adrien staggered, clamping his hands over his ears, but it didn’t help.The sound wasn’t just in the air, it was inside him, inside his bones, scraping his soul raw. Sera dropped to her knees, her fire flickering under the weight of it.Her hands pressed to the ground as cracks spiderwebbed outward from where she knelt, molten veins splitting open and vomiting fire. She forced her head up, eyes streaming with tears as she locked on the cocoon.Liora hung there, her body writhing, suspended, her small hands thrashing against threads of shadow that held her tighter with every movement.From the cracks in the cocoon poured a brilliance that was hers, golden and pure. But the shadows were stronger. They swallowed the light in swaths of black until only thin threads of gold remained.And then it stepped out of her. Not leaving her, not yet, but bleeding from her like smoke fro

The cavern didn’t just tremble, it broke. From the instant Dominion’s voice fused with Liora’s, the air itself warped, no longer belonging to earth or sky.The lava that had flowed in furious rivers froze mid-stream, then reversed upward, becoming pillars of flame that hung like chandeliers.The shadows pulsed, thick as tar, crawling along the stone like veins, threading the walls and ceiling together until the cavern resembled a giant, beating heart.Adrien could barely lift his head, his blood pooling beneath him. His body was wrecked, but his eyes, those burned still, wide with horror and awe.Sera cradled Liora against her chest, but the child no longer felt like a child. Her skin burned with heat and frost at once, her small frame vibrating with unnatural energy.Gold light warred with black inside her, threads of her innocence twisting with Dominion’s hunger.“Do you see?” the dual-voice whispered, echoing through her mouth, though it came from the stone, from the air, from insi

The chain of moonlight cut into Sera’s throat. Her body arched against it, every muscle straining as the glowing links dug into her skin.The white-silver light hissed where it touched her, searing like acid. Her breath came in ragged gasps, each one shorter than the last.Adrien heard the thin whimper she made and it tore something inside his chest. He drove himself forward through the storm of force radiating from Liora, one step at a time, knees scraping bloody against the fractured stones.His fingers closed around the hilt of his sword again. “Liora!” he roared, voice raw. “Look at me. You know who I am.”For a heartbeat, the storm of her power slackened as the girl’s eyes shifted toward him. The chain eased just enough for Sera to draw in a broken breath. Then the Dominion surged back and the chain pulled tighter.Zayn staggered to his feet, blood running down the side of his face. He had one dagger left. It was black-bladed, etched with runes that pulsed like dying embers.“It’

The instant the second tether sprouted from Adrien’s chest, the air itself seemed to scream. A deep, subsonic wail reverberated through the shattered realm, shaking every fragment of floating land.The golem faltered for a moment as fissures opened across its body. Cracks lanced through the distant spire as if the tether that anchored the realms had been disturbed. Sera froze.Her heart thundered so hard it hurt to breathe. “No…” she whispered.“I won’t lose him. I can’t.”The black-violet cord linking Adrien to the spire pulsed like a heartbeat. Every pulse dimmed the silver light in his eyes and made the shadows around Liora’s form grow denser.Adrien’s teeth were clenched. His body arched against the dark tendrils that coiled up his arms and around his throat. Blue sparks flared briefly from his palms as if his own power was fighting back, but the sparks guttered each time the tether throbbed.“Get… back…!” he gasped at Sera.“It’s—pulling—me—inside—”Sera ignored him and charged,
