บททั้งหมดของ THE LOST TIDE KING : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

CHAPTER 42: THE TIDE ARMY RISESScene 124: The Forgotten Tombs“Break the crowns.”Raiken’s command struck the city as the grey ocean fell from above and the red sea surged from below.The two waters collided over the shattered tower.The impact threw me against Raiken.He caught my waist with one arm and drove his other hand into the floor. Blue fire spread from his palm, forming a shield around us. Stone screamed beneath the pressure.Kiyomi covered Grandmother with her body. Hayate and Shigure braced against the broken wall. Cassian stood upright in the storm, coat snapping behind him, one hand pressed over the glowing mark beneath his silver crown.The white river along the seabed vanished under churning darkness.Then the water stopped.Not everywhere.Only around us.A circle of clear air opened inside the drowned city.Orochi stood on his distant tower with the child in his arms. Astraya remained beside him, one hand resting against the child’s chest.The first king hovered ove

CHAPTER 44: REUNION IN WARScene 130: Prison Break“The final crown has arrived.”The black eyed child pointed at Raiken.The creature beneath the transparent floor opened its second eye.Blue light surged through its ribs.The entire chamber tilted.Grandmother’s chains snapped tight, dragging her toward the cradle. Kiyomi caught her around the waist. Hayate seized Kiyomi before all three of them slid across the wet stone.“Raiken,” I shouted.He was already moving.The child raised one hand.A black ring closed around his throat.Raiken struck it with blue fire. The flames folded inward and sank beneath his skin.His knees hit the floor.The creature below shifted.The broken human crown on its skull began to glow.Cassian lunged for the cradle.The first king appeared inside the glass and caught his blade between two fingers.“You still mistake courage for importance.”Cassian twisted the weapon.Red light burst from the steel.The reflection shattered, but the child remained stand

CHAPTER 46: THE TRUE TRAITORScene 136: Suspicion Confirmed“It was about your son.”The words crossed the battlefield and stopped every breath around me.Raiken stared at the child.The bond between us tightened so sharply that pain ran beneath my ribs.Grandmother lowered her face.That was enough.I turned toward her.“You knew.”Kiyomi stepped away from Grandmother as if the space between them had caught fire.“Tell her.”Grandmother’s lips parted.No sound came.Below the cracked courtyard, the first ocean shifted against its chains. Blue light pulsed through the fortress walls, making every shadow move like something alive.Raiken took one step forward.“Where is he?”Grandmother’s eyes lifted to his.“I do not know.”His jaw hardened.“That answer has protected too many lies.”The girl with my face stood beside the tide heart. Water drifted around her bare feet.“The child was hidden after Ayamira lost her memories.”“By whom?” I asked.The girl looked past me.At Shigure.He s

CHAPTER 48: THE SACRIFICE OF THE TIDE KINGScene 142: The Price Revealed“The war is between the world above and the world that remembers being whole.”Riven hung inside the first ocean’s claw.Blue light burned through his veins.The creature lifted him higher, drawing him toward the broken fortress roof. Every tower bent toward it. Stone peeled from the walls and vanished into the water surrounding its body.Raiken ran for him.The first king struck from the side.Grey power hit Raiken’s chest and threw him across the courtyard.I felt the impact through the bond.My breath vanished.Raiken rolled before the broken edge, one hand closing around a crack in the stone. Black water churned below him.I pulled the tide upward.It caught his back and pushed him onto solid ground.He looked at me once.Alive.Then his eyes returned to Riven.Orochi moved beneath the creature’s claw, shadows twisting around his arms.“Give him to me.”Riven looked down.“You already had me.”“I made you str

CHAPTER 50: THE BLACK OCEAN AWAKENSScene 148: A New BeginningAyamira’s reflection opened her eyes beneath the black water.I stepped back from the palace pool.Raiken’s hand found mine before my heel struck the cradle.The reflection remained still.My face.My old face.A silver crown rested above her dark hair, but the points curved downward like teeth. Black water moved across her shoulders in slow coils.Grandmother stood on the other side of the pool.“I know that voice.”The singing continued beneath the floor.Soft.Almost tender.It slipped through the palace walls and into the streets of Azure Tide. The bells outside stopped one after another.Riven moved closer to the water.Raiken caught his arm.“Do not touch it.”Riven looked down at his hand.The black sun over his heart had faded to a thin scar.“I was not planning to.”“You leaned forward.”“I was looking.”“Look from farther away.”Riven’s mouth tightened.“You became irritating quickly.”Raiken gave him a faint gla
