Baal X Aether Novels & Stories

The headquarters of such a prestigious faction as the Aetherians, Mount Aether, harbored monster activity in its rear. Lost in thought, Adrian found himself at the rear of the mountain. What he witnessed took him aback. The contrast between the front and rear of Mount Aether was staggering, akin to two disparate worlds. Unlike the serene front, the rear exuded a demonic aura, reminiscent of scenes from hell rather than paradise. This revelation surpassed Adrian's imagination.

“The Forgotten almost destroyed the world. We won’t let that happen again.” Aether’s eyes hardened. “Then you leave me no choice,” he said. He lunged, his starlight sword clashing against Cole’s crystal. The impact sent a shockwave through the city, and the western tower’s light nearly went out. The other guardians rushed forward, but Aether waved his hand, and a wall of starlight pushed them back. “It’s just you and me,” he said to Cole and Lila. “The heart of the balance against the God of Stars. Let’s see which is stronger.”

Genuine. The others ranged from late-Hollow Bone to early Foundation. Standard fighters. I'm at Iron Soul Condensation, first crystallization. Between Hollow Bone and Foundation, technically. But the Ashen Heaven Scripture did not advance through standard channels, and what I had built in those channels was not standard Qi. It was crystallized suffering shaped into something that hit harder than its realm suggested and recovered faster than its realm should allow. Enough, I decided on the second night. Barely enough, but enough.

They were two of Dexter's betas. I understood Dexter's plans now. He had given me Wolf's bane instead of the elixir, so that I would be vulnerable and weakened when his two betas would come in to beat me up and probably bring me into his party to flaunt his success of defeating the forever detested Alpha Blade. Unfortunately for him, I had been smart enough not to swallow it. The only effect it had on me was the burning and pain in my mouth which had gradually lessened "Let me ask you this now that you both are alive." I said as I watched them bring out batons. "Was it your Alpha that sent you to me to die or is it just fate?"

But one name stands out among the chaos: Legacy Vega. My heart pounds as I scroll through the information. Legacy Vega… the name is enough to make anyone with half a brain nervous. The grandson of the legendary Alpha Fenriz, Vega is barely eighteen, but the fucker’s been amassing warriors since he was a kid. He’s ruthless, dangerous, and commands respect like he’s a goddamn king. And my brother—my baby brother—was one of his warriors. I can’t fucking believe it. Aeron had always been the one who wanted out of pack life, the one who said he didn’t want the weight of our family name on his shoulders. So why the hell was he involved with someone like Legacy Vega?

She felt the pale light inside her respond, pulsing faintly with her heartbeat. Her breath caught. She shouldn’t have this. The word came unbidden, like a whisper carried on the mist. Aether. Her skin prickled. The name rang in her mind, heavy with warning. She had heard it only once before, buried in hushed whispers when she was a child. Aether—the element that no longer existed. A force erased from history because it was too dangerous, too uncontrollable. The stories had said that those who held it were cursed, destined to bring ruin. That was why they had been destroyed.

Utilizing the full, world-shattering weight of an Apex Alpha backed by the limitless power of the unified bond, Caelum brought his massive Eclipse broadsword down in a vertical executioner's strike directly over the center of the black ice monolith! "BEGONE TO THE DARK!" Caelum roared, his voice echoing across the entire northern continent! CRACK-BOOM! The massive Eclipse sword cleaved the two-hundred-foot monolith of black ice straight down the center! White-gold and silver light flooded the interior of the crystal, shattering Aethelgard’s static matrix from the inside out! The entity screamed as the divine harmony of Sun and Shadow burned away its ancient void, dissolving its skeletal fram

Nazrene said, Tina scoffed impatiently at the unwanted question, but answered anyway, "Aether...is the fifth element, a bright, untainted atmosphere of the higher dimensions. Aer is the elements of reality...air, fire, earth, water...Look, can you just tell me what to do without all this... talking?" "Currently, you are Aether. You need to connect with Aer. It has gravitas, weight, it's what you need to wield to create a physical body of your own liking." Nazrene explained.

It should have been unlikely since to declare such was to oppose Ayla, an action tantamount to blasphemy by the teachings of the credence. The priest led them past a stall and Sethlzaar caught sight of elixirs and varying concoctions, some of which he could recognize where fashioned to aid treatment of illnesses as well as a few to heal wounds. He spotted a few Ventril had claimed where designed to give a man the strength of ten men by inducing an unnatural rush of adrenaline known to often drive men into a blind rage.
