Chapter 161

CHAPTER 161 — THE HEART OF MERIDIANRiven fell.Not like falling from a rooftop, not like tripping over cracked pavement, but like the very gravity of the world had betrayed him. Darkness enveloped him, suffocating, thick, and alive. The crown key burnt against his chest, screaming with Meridian’s energy, trying to anchor him, to pull him back to the surface—but the fissure’s grip was absolute.Below, the city trembled, fires and lightning lashing across the streets. Luca and Wolf screamed from above, their voices swallowed by the distance and chaos.“Riven!” Luca’s shout pierced the darkness. “Hold on!”Riven tried to respond, but the shadowed depths had other plans.

CHAPTER 162 — FURY OF MERIDIANThe Heart of Meridian throbbed in Riven’s chest like a living thing, vibrating through every fibre of his being.

CHAPTER 163 – THE FINAL ASCENTThe city groaned beneath the weight of chaos. Cracks ran along the streets like lightning, fires spread through abandoned buildings, and the air vibrated with the power of the ancient entity, now fully awakened.Riven floated above the fissure, the crown key blindingly bright in his hand, and every pulse of the Heart surged through him. Beside him, Luca gritted his teeth, holding his own energy, connected to Riven’s by an invisible thread of determination and loyalty. The two of them were the last barrier between the entity and Meridian.Vex hovered in the storm of black tendrils, fused to the entity but still terrifyingly human. His red eyes gleamed with malice and triumph. “Do you really think you can stop me now, Riven? I’ve become more than you could ever hope to defeat!”Riven’s jaw tightened. “You were my brother, Vex… but that ends tonight.”Vex laughed, a low, distorted sound that mingled with the roar of the entity. “Brother?
