Novel & Cerita Korath Guardians

From the shadows of the crater rim, figures rose. They weren't human anymore. They were desiccated corpses wearing armor from different eras—Medieval knights, World War soldiers, Ancient warriors. Their eyes glowed with the same purple light as the crystal. "The Guardians," Sebastian spat on the ground. "Previous generations who tried to control the power and failed. Now they are just puppets." "There are hundreds of them," Kael drew his sword (a retractable vibranium blade Alex made for him). "Circle formation!" Jackson commanded. "Protect Nova! We carve a path to the central bridge!"

“We come to pledge our loyalty, show our respect and commitment to the Guardians of the Realm. We will live by the covenants of the Guardians. We wanted you to know that you have nothing to fear nor any need for concern about my coven. When he is done speaking, he and his coven all take a knee, bowing their heads. I look at Liam, not knowing what to say. He looks just as lost as I am. I step forward, feeling Liam shift behind me, ready to pull me behind him if this is a trap. “Rise King Urien. I appreciate you coming here to let me know of your allegiance. It was never my intention to kill any of your kind, but when anyone comes for me or mine, they will be destroyed.” Alessia has pushed for

With a roar, I wrenched him off me and hurled him against a jagged boulder. Around me, the Guardians fought with brutal efficiency. Connor took down one wolf with a precise strike to the neck. Another Guardian grappled with a massive beast, his battle form matching its strength blow for blow. The forest echoed with snarls, impacts, and the sickening sound of tearing flesh. One by one, the wolves fell. I killed two more myself—swift, merciless strikes that left no room for recovery. These were not misguided rogues. These were trained killers who had hunted children.

Until they landed on me. He didn’t look impressed. “Bram, you’re here,” Dad said. My stomach twisted. Please don’t tell me this is a fucking therapist. I don’t have a mental issue. “Renzo,” he turned toward me, “this is Bram Hale. Your new bodyguard.” I blinked. “Body—what?” Mom stepped in quickly. “Honey, it’s just until we figure out who—who did this. Someone obviously wants your dead and we can’t take any chances.”

As my finger hovered over the call button another message popped up. Call him and you will end his life. Text anyone and he will die. The message was followed by a picture of what looked like a bomb. Lose the guard or I set the bomb off.

“What is this thing?” The Kodoku parasites seemed to be pervasive, and their enemies were defenseless against them. Soon, the parasites had drilled themselves into the mouths and noses of those tomb guardians. Next, some of them fell to the ground and howled in pain, with black blood flowing out of their mouths and noses. “Why is this happening to us? Why?” Zachariah watched as the tomb guardians fell down one by one. He was pretty arrogant earlier when he thought that he had Tyr and the others in the palm of his hand, but he was now frozen in place. Once again, despair filled his heart.

Their armor shimmered with faint silver light. They immediately raised their spears. “Halt!” Kael stepped forward calmly. “I seek audience with the Council of Guardians.” The guards studied him carefully. “And who are you?” “Kael of the Northern Watch.” The guards exchanged glances. “And the girl?” Kael looked back at Luna. “She is the Moonbearer.” The words echoed in the quiet valley. The guards froze. One of them slowly lowered his spear. “That’s impossible.” Luna raised her glowing hand. Silver light flickered across her skin.

She could see each opening before it happened, nudging NaKoa just enough to avoid an incoming shadow strike, whispering through the bond of the Guardians’ powers to keep them coordinated. NaKoa lunged, teeth bared and eyes glowing neon green, snapping at the master’s side. He twisted, barely dodging, but the move forced him back toward Margaret, who let out a roar that sent the ground trembling. Flames arced from her wings, forcing him to shield his face. Athena leapt, jaw snapping, intercepting a shadow creature trying to flank the master. “Not today!” she growled, sending it skidding across the floor. Saelari dove from above, fiery talons slashing, feathers leaving trails of blinding light

When Rowan spoke, his voice carried to every ear through both mundane acoustics and the supernatural connections binding them all. “You have been summoned because we must speak truth. About our achievements, our limits, and our future.” He paused, letting the words settle. “One year ago, Elara became the first guardian, sacrificing her mortal existence to create a living ward that could hold back the Void permanently. Since then, thirteen more have joined her, transforming themselves to share the burden and extend protection.” Murmurs of acknowledgement rippled through the crowd. Everyone knew this history. “Together, the guardians protect three thousand square miles. Eight hundred and forty

Lastly, he lifted the dense stone cube, which was ideal for delivering blunt-force strikes at short range. The core settled. ( Standard ) Three guardians entered the ring at the same time. Kael quickly stepped to the left, causing a shard to trip the first Guardian. He then turned and used a cord to strike the second Guardian in its eye cluster. A stone cube rolled off the edge and hit the third Guardian as he stepped back. He watched as all three guardians retreated into the walls, and the mother unit glowed red with anger from the dome. He knelt, and a larger water circle formed, fifteen centimeters wide, filled with dried meat strips. He ate three pieces and felt energy returning to his l
