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
The Celestial Heist Chapter 206: The Road to Recovery
The cavern was eerily silent as Kael, Naya, and the still-unconscious Arion made their way back through the winding tunnels, the fragment’s soft glow illuminating their path. The battle in the chamber had taken its toll on all of them, but the weight on Kael’s shoulders felt especially heavy. Arion’s near-loss had shaken him more deeply than he cared to admit, and the exhaustion from the relentless struggle against the Celestials was beginning to creep into his bones.Naya walked beside him, her hand resting gently on Arion’s arm as they supported him between them. Her face was pale, drawn tight with worry, but her eyes were filled with a quiet determination. She glanced at Kael, her voice soft but steady. "We did what we had to, Kael. We saved him. That’s what matters."Kael nodded, his gaze focused ahead as he navigated the rough terrain. "I know. But it doesn’t feel like a victory—not yet. The Celestials will be back, and we can’t afford to let our guard down. We were lucky this ti
The Celestial Heist Chapter 207: The Shelter of the Grove
The sun was low on the horizon as Kael and the others made their way toward the distant copse of trees. The exhaustion of their recent battles weighed heavily on them, each step a reminder of the toll the fight against the Celestials had taken. Yet, there was a quiet determination in the group as they moved forward, united by the common goal of finding a place to rest and regroup.Arion was still unconscious, his body limp as Korrin and Kael supported him between them. Despite his condition, there was a sense of peace on his face that hadn’t been there before, a sign that the darkness that had gripped him was finally fading. Kael clung to that hope, even as the weight of responsibility pressed down on him. He knew that they couldn’t afford to lose another member of their team, not when the battle ahead promised to be even fiercer.Naya walked slightly ahead of the group, her eyes scanning the landscape as they approached the grove. The trees stood tall and ancient, their thick trunks
