Karlach Infernal Engine Novels & Stories

Karl was enraged to hear that. Chase was just a good-for-nothing. How dare he call Karl 'weak'?! Did he really think Karl could be easily bullied? Before he could retort, Chase spoke up once more coldly, "Don't be in a hurry to leave now that you're here. This is good timing. I'm missing some ingredients to refine pills." "You're dead!" Karl could not hold back any longer when he heard Chase's taunt. His entire body flamed up and Karl turned into a ball of fire as he ran toward Chase.

Ang Sierra Madre ay naging isang dambuhalang lunsaran. Sa gitna ng kagubatan, isang dambuhalang istraktura ang umusbong mula sa mga labi ng White Obelisk at ng Phoenix Sentinel.

Hindi ito mukhang tradisyunal na rocket; ito ay isang hugis-krus na barko na binalot ng puting kristal at pinapatakbo ng Icarus Engine—isang makinang pinagsama ang teknolohiya ni Liam at ang enerhiyang nakuha mula sa Singularity Core ng mga Precursors.

Dead Hunters, killed execution style—single shots to the head. "Someone got here before us," Daxon said grimly. "Or someone's cleaning house," I realized. We followed the sounds to a stairwell leading underground. The basement was a maze of corridors. Through the Pack link, I felt Karl's corrupted presence. "End of the hall," I whispered. Mathias kicked the door open. Karl spun around, frantically shoving papers into a bag. He looked terrible. Gaunt with dark circles under his eyes. "Going somewhere?" Mathias growled.

back the weight of the swollen lake. We saw a truck parked in the middle of the access road, right on top of the spillway. "There," I pointed. Damian slammed on the brakes. We skidded to a halt fifty yards away. We got out, guns drawn. The rain was torrential here, whipped into a frenzy by the updraft from the spillway. The roar of the water was deafening. Standing by the railing, looking down into the abyss of churning water, was Karl. He was soaking wet, his expensive coat ruined. He was holding a remote detonator. He saw us. He smiled. "Right on time!" Karl shouted over the roar of the water. "Step away from the ledge, Karl!" Damian bellowed, walking forward. "It's over!" "Over?" Karl la

I clutch my chest and suck in large gulps of air even though it hurts my lungs. This brute was going to crush me! I make myself start visibly wheezing, playing up the fact that I was being choked all along while I look up and assess Karl's expressions. What I see doesn't make any of the fear running through me reduce. Karl's eyes start glowing a ghostly white as he calls on his wolf. I watch as he shifts partially, fur covering his chest and skin, claws extending, all the while his eyes are still locked on me. The claws of a Gamma could easily shred through the trunk of a tree. They're that wicked and sharp and I know that if he turns them on me... If he turns them on me, I might not escape

My eyes rolled back. "Mm," I moaned. I felt every press of his fingers. It sent chills through my veins. A smile tugged across my lips. The next moment, I snapped out of it. I jumped off the bronze chair and turned swiftly to look into his eyes. Those blue piercing eyes were gone, replaced by deep crimson ones. "You aren't Mitchel," I said, trying to convince myself that everything he said was fake. "No matter what you think, I will remain Zarchios," he said.

ALMA I was scared out of my mind. I thought I was going to die with no one to save me. Until Lazzaro came. I hated everything about the underworld with my whole being. A girl couldn’t escape her abductor without being abducted by another. Just that these ones were out to kill me. I didn’t understand Russian, but I knew what ubit meant. It meant kill. And they used that a lot. They were going to murder me.

The First Fire In the High Citadel, the "Perfect Engine" was dead. The Aetheric Elevator hung like a ghost in the sky, its diamond tether silent. To save the people, Kael and Sloane couldn't rely on the "Red Steam" or "Universal Logic." They had to go back to the most ancient technology of all: Chemical Combustion. Kael found a pile of discarded structural timber and old Syndicate blueprints. Using a piece of flint and the edge of his scarred, non-violet hand, he struck a spark.

cally exclaimed. Stephan looked at the Judge in front of him sarcastically, then got into Cally's car which was ready to leave campus. After Stephan entered, Cally immediately drove her Ferrari away from campus. He still has a few hours to hack>"what are you going to do Max?" cried Stephan, Cally just stared at the Street she was walking on with her crooked smile, her laugh was so full of murderous aura, even Stephan's hair stood on end.

--- Hunters’ Headquarters Security Level A. Deep beneath Valenfort, Alaric Graves stood before a massive machine sheathed in silver. Ancient vampiric script was engraved along its flank: Seraphim The Flame of the Holy Blood. An elderly engineer, hands trembling as he wired the energy conduits, said, “Sir… Seraphim has never been tested. It… it uses anti‑matter holy energy.
