The Celestial Heist Chapter 198: The Celestial Tide
The aftermath of the battle left the air heavy with a strange, quiet stillness. As Kael and Naya descended the ridge, the light of the fragment continued to flicker, a faint glow amidst the shadows that had not fully receded. The once-vibrant landscape was now tinged with a sense of fragility, as if the balance they had fought so hard to restore could be easily shattered again.Kael’s thoughts were on the others. He and Naya had managed to close the chasm and dispel the vortex, but he worried about Vira, Lyra, Korrin, and Arion. The Celestial warrior had been powerful, and where there was one, there were surely others. They had to regroup quickly, before the next wave of Celestial forces arrived.Naya, sensing Kael’s tension, placed a hand on his shoulder. "We’ll find them, Kael. I can still feel the connection to the fragment. It’s weak, but it’s there. They’re not far."Kael nodded, grateful for her reassurance. "Let’s hope they’re safe. We’ve been through too much to lose anyone no
The Celestial Heist Chapter 199: The Eye of the Storm
As the storm clouds gathered overhead, the Celestial Marauders approached the stone structure at the center of the valley with caution. The air around them was thick with tension, the charged atmosphere humming with an energy that seemed to pulse in time with the ominous rumbling of thunder from above. The nexus radiated power, a focal point of the balance, and they knew the Celestials would stop at nothing to seize it.Kael led the way, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, his eyes scanning the area for any sign of movement. The cliffs surrounding the valley created a natural amphitheater, amplifying the distant roll of thunder and the rustling of the wind. Every shadow seemed to shift, every sound was a potential threat.Vira’s light, usually warm and steady, flickered as she glanced upward at the roiling clouds. "The storm is getting stronger. We don’t have much time before they arrive."Arion’s sharp gaze was fixed on the nexus, his mind already working through possible stra
The Celestial Heist Chapter 200: The Calm Before
The storm had passed, leaving behind a sky that was a deep, clear blue, streaked with the fading remnants of clouds that had once threatened to tear the world apart. The valley, which had moments ago been the site of a fierce battle, now stood eerily silent. The Celestial Marauders gathered around the nexus, their breath still ragged from the fight, their hearts pounding with the adrenaline that had yet to fade.Kael lowered his sword, the glow of the fragment in Naya’s hand still casting a warm, golden light over them. The energy of the balance was palpable, wrapping around them like a protective shield, but Kael knew it was only a temporary respite. The Celestials had been driven back, but they would return—stronger, more determined, and more desperate than before.Naya, still holding the fragment, looked up at Kael, her expression a mix of relief and concern. "We’ve won this battle, but the war is far from over. The Celestials won’t stop until they’ve either claimed all the fragmen
The Celestial Heist Chapter 201: The Rising Tension
The dawn broke quietly over the valley, the first rays of sunlight filtering through the entrance of the cave and casting long shadows across the stone floor. The Celestial Marauders stirred from their uneasy rest, the weight of the previous day’s battle still heavy on their minds. The air outside was cool and crisp, a stark contrast to the storm that had raged only hours before.Kael was the first to rise, stretching his muscles as he shook off the remnants of sleep. The calm of the morning was deceptive; he knew it was only a temporary lull before the next wave of challenges. The Celestials were still out there, regrouping, planning their next move. And the Marauders had to stay one step ahead if they were going to protect the balance and gather the remaining fragments.Vira was already awake, sitting near the cave entrance and looking out at the valley below. Her usual radiant glow was subdued, her expression thoughtful as she watched the sun slowly climb above the horizon. "It’s h
The Celestial Heist Chapter 202: The Abyss Below
Darkness engulfed Kael as he plummeted into the chasm, the roar of the collapsing ground echoing around him. His stomach lurched as he tumbled through the air, desperately trying to orient himself in the pitch-black void. The sensation of falling seemed to stretch on forever, time losing all meaning as he fought to regain control.Suddenly, with a bone-jarring thud, Kael hit solid ground. The impact knocked the wind out of him, and for a few terrifying moments, all he could do was lie there, gasping for breath. The world around him was still and silent, the only sound his ragged breathing echoing in the vast, unseen space.Kael groaned as he pushed himself up onto his elbows, wincing at the pain that shot through his body. Every muscle ached from the fall, but he forced himself to focus, to take stock of his surroundings. The darkness was absolute, so thick that he couldn’t see his own hand in front of his face."Naya?" he called out, his voice hoarse. "Naya, are you there?"For a few
The Celestial Heist Chapter 203: Echoes of the Abyss
The chamber trembled as the dark energy surged toward Kael and Naya, the force of it powerful enough to warp the air and send shockwaves through the stone floor. Kael’s heart pounded in his chest, but he stood firm, raising his sword to meet the oncoming attack. The fragment in his hand blazed with light, its energy pulsing in time with his heartbeat.Naya, her own energy flaring with determination, stepped beside him. Together, they focused on the fragment, channeling its power to form a shield of light that spread out before them. The dark energy collided with the shield, sending ripples of force through the chamber, but the light held strong, pushing back against the darkness.The shadowy figure sneered, its voice dripping with contempt. "You think you can resist me? You are nothing but pawns in a game far beyond your understanding. The balance is already lost."Kael gritted his teeth, his gaze locked on the figure. "You’re wrong. The balance isn’t something you can own or control.
The Celestial Heist Chapter 204: The Gathering Shadows
Kael and Naya moved swiftly through the twisting passageways of the cavern, the fragment’s light casting long shadows on the rough stone walls. The victory over the Celestial figure in the chamber had given them a brief moment of relief, but they both knew that their journey was far from over. The oppressive atmosphere of the underground labyrinth still pressed down on them, and the knowledge that the other Marauders were out there, potentially in danger, drove them to keep moving.The path ahead began to slope upward, and Kael could feel the air growing less stifling, a hint that they were getting closer to the surface. The fragment’s light pulsed steadily in his hand, its warmth a comforting reminder of the power they wielded—a power that had saved them time and again.Naya kept pace beside him, her expression focused but tense. "We need to find the others as quickly as possible. The Celestials will strike again, and we’re stronger together."Kael nodded, his eyes scanning the passa
The Celestial Heist Chapter 205: The Struggle Within
The chamber echoed with the violent clash of energies, each impact sending shockwaves through the air and stirring the heavy silence of the underground cavern. Kael’s heart raced as he dodged another blast of dark energy from Arion, his mind struggling to reconcile the friend he knew with the twisted figure attacking him now. The fragment’s light in Kael’s hand flared brighter, a beacon of hope in the suffocating darkness, but it was small comfort as he faced the grim reality before him.Arion’s attacks were relentless, each strike filled with a cold precision that Kael had never seen in him before. It was as if the man he knew had been replaced by a being of pure malice, driven by the dark energy of the archway that loomed ominously in the center of the chamber. Kael deflected the attacks as best he could, his sword flashing with the light of the fragment, but the power behind Arion’s strikes was overwhelming."Arion, this isn’t you!" Kael shouted, hoping to break through the hold th
