Chapter 327: Subtle trap?
Loremaster. Argent Covenant. Unit 7. More players, more mysteries. The game was getting more complicated by the minute. He looked down at the disc. Information. Knowledge. Maybe even a chance. Or just another, more subtle trap. He did not know. But he had a feeling he was about to find out. The hard way. Kyle pocketed the silver disc. Gina’s visit left more questions than answers. It also left a lingering sense of unseen powers moving in the shadows. But her warning about the Spire, about Unit 7, felt genuine. Luther was preparing. He walked back into the war room. Natalie looked up from the schematics she had been studying with Arachne. Her brow was furrowed with worry. Viv, who had clearly been eavesdropping from the doorway, pushed herself off the frame. Her expression was a mix of curiosity and suspicion. "Okay, Boss," Viv said. "Who was the shiny lady with the wind chimes? And what did she want? Sounded like she was offering you a timeshare in another dimension." "She call
Chapter 326: Ancient
Kyle processed this. An ancient, powerful organization, observers of fate, offering help. It sounded too good to be true. There was always a price. "And what do you want in return?" he asked, his voice flat. Gina’s smile was serene. "Nothing that you would not already do, young King. Survive. Grow. Learn. Understand the power you wield, and the responsibilities that come with it." She took another small step closer. Her voice dropped slightly. "And, perhaps, when the time comes, remember who offered you a guiding hand when all others sought to crush you." He stared at her, trying to read beyond the calm facade, beyond the enigmatic pronouncements. An alliance with no strings attached? Unlikely. But information, resources... those were things he desperately needed. The Association, King Barack... he was fighting blind, relying on instinct and raw power. "What kind of information?" he asked. "Information on your enemies," Gina said. "Their strengths, their weaknesses, their hidden
Chapter 325: Talk II
"Talk," Kyle said, remaining standing. "But make it quick. I have a busy schedule of not being devoured." Gina’s violet eyes held a hint of amusement at his brusque command. She did not move towards the bench, respecting his implicit refusal to lower his guard. "Very well," she said. Her voice retained its melodic calm. "Let us dispense with pleasantries. You are Kyle Anders. You possess a Mana Cell of Abyssal origin, accidentally integrated. You have claimed a nascent domain, a feat unheard of for one so... uninitiated. You have made enemies of the Valen Association, a regional power of some influence. And you have drawn the attention of at least one established King, Barack, whose First Blade you apparently... dispatched." Kyle's expression remained impassive, but inside, his mind raced. She knew everything. Or at least, far more than she should. The Mana Cell, Barack, even the term ’nascent domain’. This was not just good intelligence; this was knowledge on a different level. A
Chapter 324: Talk
Kyle walked towards the massive stone doors. Arachne moved with him. Her hands were held loosely at her sides, but her entire body was coiled with readiness. He stopped a few paces from the doors. The silence returned, heavy, expectant. "Who’s out there?" Kyle called out. His voice echoed slightly in the hall. A voice answered from the other side of the stone doors. It was female, calm, resonant, with a musical quality that seemed to vibrate in the very stone. "A traveler. Seeking shelter. And perhaps, a conversation with the new master of this... interesting domain." Kyle frowned. Traveler? Master of the domain? How did they know? How did they find this place without triggering the wards? "Identify yourself," Arachne called out. Her voice was sharp, challenging. A soft chuckle answered from beyond the doors. "Names are such fleeting things, my dear. But you may call me... Gina." Kyle felt a prickle of unease. Gina. The name meant nothing to him. But the way she spoke, the c
Chapter 323: Ares?
Kyle steepled his fingers, tapping them together softly. "This is no longer a simple retrieval operation. This is... an emergent threat.""Contingency Sigma is active, sir," Cecile reminded him. "All Guilds are on high alert. Carver is a priority target.""Sigma is insufficient," Luther stated. "He struck Necrus. Logically, his next target will be here. Valen. The Spire." He paused. "He’s coming for our eyes."Cecile’s expression remained neutral, but a flicker of unease touched her eyes. A direct assault on the Spire? Even for someone with Carver’s apparent power, that was suicide."Reinforce the Spire’s defenses," Luther ordered. "Triple the guard rotations. Activate all dormant psionic wards. I want every diviner, every precog, focused on detecting any anomalous energy signatures, any potential breaches. And... recall Unit 7."Cecile’s head snapped up. Genuine shock finally broke through her composure. "Unit 7, sir? Are you certain? Their methods are... extreme. And their loyalty—"
Chapter 322: Laura Michaels
Viv pushed off the doorframe. She walked over to peer at the floating schematics. "Upper floors? That’s where the real teeth are. Elite guards, dedicated response teams. We’ll be fighting our way through a damn army.""We won’t be fighting an army," Kyle corrected her. "We’ll be precise. Surgical." He looked up at her, his eyes flat. "Fast in, cripple their eyes, fast out. Like Necrus, but on a larger scale.""Necrus was knocking over a corner store," Viv countered, though a grin touched her lips. "Valen Spire is trying to rob the central bank during a parade." She tapped a glowing red marker on one of the upper levels. "That’s where their Arch-Diviner usually nests. Old bastard named Laura Michaels. Supposedly sees futures like we see breakfast. Take her out, and they’re blind for months."Kyle zoomed in on the marker. Arch-Diviner Laura Michaels. Her file was thin, heavily redacted, but the threat assessment was high. ’A priority target, then.’Arachne spoke. Her voice was quiet but
