Chapter 315: Freaks
Viv pushed herself off the wall, swaying, looking like she might collapse."It seemed like the only choice, Boss! It was that or let those Unit 7 freaks use her as a damn human shield! I was a little busy, y’know, not dying!"Her voice was defensive, angry. But underneath it, Kyle heard the fear.She knew. She knew what a terrible gamble she’d made with Katherine’s life.He didn’t waste time arguing.He turned back to the sealed door. The one with the dark, unsettling runes.The door he’d sworn to himself he’d never touch again.The strain on his domain, from the two previous portal jumps and the forceful repulsion from the Lock, was immense. It screamed in protest.His head throbbed violently. Black spots danced in his vision.’I can’t. I can’t open it again. Not now.’"Arachne," he said, his voice strained. "Can you open that door from this side without... me?"He hated asking.So Kyle put his hand out, his fingers shaking just a little, and he touched that cold door with all the we
Chapter 314: Pop?
The castle was quiet. Kyle sat on the stone floor. Every muscle was sore. His head throbbed. The Mark on his chest glowed a dull red. His domain felt weaker than usual. Natalie coughed. She pushed hair out of her eyes. "Kyle? Are you okay?" Her voice was shaky. She looked nervous. Arachne got to her feet. She wobbled a bit, one hand pressed to her side. "My Lord," she said, her voice tight. "That was the Entity. I never imagined. The old stories are true." "Stories?" Kyle asked. His throat felt dry. He stood up, a bit dizzy. "What stories?" "It’s a prison," Arachne said, her eyes looking distant. "The first Creatorsbuilt it. To contain things they couldn’t destroy. Things from a very long time ago." Kyle didn’t ask what was before that. He needed to know something else. He looked around the main hall. It was empty. Just the three of them. "Viv," he said, his voice sharp. "Katherine. Where are they?" Natalie looked confused. "Weren’t they with us?" Arachne looked at Kyle, focus
Chapter 313: I can't!
In the middle of all that, Viv leaned against a wall that was still okay. Her red hair had blood and dirt in it. Her clothes were torn. Parts were gone. He saw angry, bubbly burns on her arms and neck. One arm hung uselessly. It was clearly broken. But in her good hand, she held a big, smoking Association gun. Its power was gone. She held it like a club. She was surrounded by more bodies. At least two more Unit 7 guys. Maybe three. It was hard to tell. They looked like melted armor and burned meat. She looked up when he and Arachne came out of the fading portal light. A wild, happy, and angry grin showed on her bloody face. "Took you long enough, Boss," she said. Her voice was rough. She coughed. It sounded wet. She spat a thick gob of bloody stuff on the ruined floor. "The party got a little out of hand after you left." Kyle just stared. At the bodies. At the broken stuff. At her. He thought she would be dead. Or caught. Not... this. Not the boss of this terrible place
Chapter 312: Damn it!
Natalie coughed. She pushed hair from her face. "Kyle? Are you okay?" Her voice was shaky. She looked scared. Arachne stood up. She swayed a little. One hand pressed her side. "My Lord," she said. Her voice was tight. "That was the Entity. I never thought. The stories are real." "Stories?" Kyle asked. His throat was dry. He stood up. He felt dizzy. "What stories?" "It is a thing that holds stuff," Arachne said. Her eyes looked far away. "The first Creators made it. To hold things they could not destroy. Things from a long time ago." Kyle did not ask "before what." He needed to know something else. He looked around the main hall. It was empty. Only the three of them were there. "Viv," he said. His voice was sharp. "Katherine. Where are they?" Natalie looked confused. "Weren’t they with us?" Arachne looked at Kyle. She focused. "My Lord, they stayed outside the room. In the Spire’s lower levels. When you opened the door to the Lock, they were still fighting Unit 7." Kyle felt ba
Chapter 311: Boss II
Kyle knew he needed to get stronger. Not just in terms of raw power, but he needed to be smarter too. This reckless way of charging into things, it was not working out well. Gina had been right about that. He remembered the silver disc he still had in his pocket. The Covenant. Maybe they really did have more answers for him. But first, they all needed to rest. And he needed to make sure his castle was not about to fall down around their ears. He focused inward, trying to feel the current state of his domain. It felt weak, and he could tell it was damaged, but the connection was still there. It was slowly mending, much like his own body was. And that was thanks to Natalie. He closed his eyes for a moment. He had a lot of things to think about. And he had a lot of people he needed to protect. Kyle opened his eyes again. The immediate crisis seemed to be over, but he knew they were far from safe. "Arachne," he said, his voice a bit stronger now, "can you check the castle’s wards? M
Chapter 310: Boss
Kyle looked up at Natalie. Her face was wet from crying, but she also looked very determined. He understood in that moment. She had done something important to help him. "You..." he started to say, but his voice was just a rough sound. He felt incredibly tired, more tired than he had ever been. "Don’t try to talk right now, Kyle," Natalie said, her voice a little shaky but firm. "Just rest. You were... in a really bad way." Viv was there too, and she looked pretty beat up herself. She grumbled, "Yeah, Boss. You gave all of us a real scare this time. You almost checked out for good." She shifted uncomfortably where she knelt. "My arm is seriously killing me, by the way." Arachne watched him, and her usual calm face showed clear signs of exhaustion. "My Lord, your core was almost completely depleted. Natalie was able to... assist in its stabilization." Kyle processed that information slowly. Natalie had helped him. He looked back at her again. She seemed different, stronger in a wa
