The Celestial Heist Chapter 217: The Heart of Darkness
The oppressive cold deepened as the Marauders fought their way through the endless tide of shadow creatures. Each step forward felt like a struggle against an invisible weight, as though the very air was thickening around them, slowing their movements and sapping their strength. The creatures seemed to grow more frenzied the closer they got to the source, their attacks more vicious, their forms darker and more solidified. The energy of the fractured realm pulsed violently, twisting the landscape into a surreal nightmare of jagged rocks and swirling shadows."Keep pushing!" Kael shouted, his voice strained as he deflected a shadowy claw that sliced through the air toward him. "We’re almost there!"The group moved as a single unit, their formation tight as they cut through the creatures, each member covering the other’s flank. Korrin’s wings blazed with fiery brilliance, his flames searing through the darkness as he took point, his sword cleaving through shadow after shadow. Vira’s ligh
The Celestial Heist Chapter 218: The Echoes of Victory
The air in the fractured realm was still, a fragile calm that hung over the landscape like a shroud. The wound was sealed, its malevolent energy no longer radiating across the realm. Yet, the Marauders remained on edge, their eyes scanning the eerie silence around them. It was as if the realm itself was holding its breath, waiting to see what would happen now that the darkness had been driven back.Kael took a deep, shaky breath, trying to steady his racing heart. His muscles ached, and his entire body felt drained, as though the energy of the battle had left him hollowed out. But he was alive. They all were. And they had done what seemed impossible—they had sealed the wound in the balance and cut off the Celestials’ hold.He glanced at his companions. Vira’s glow had dimmed to a faint shimmer, her face drawn with exhaustion, but she met his gaze with a weary smile. Korrin stood beside her, his wings folded tightly against his back, the flames that usually flickered around him subdued
The Celestial Heist Chapter 219: The Gathering Storm
The newly healed realm shimmered around them, the energy of the balance settling into a tranquil hum that filled the air. For a moment, the Marauders simply stood there, breathing in the stillness and basking in the calm that had been absent for so long. The jagged rocks and twisted shadows were gone, replaced by smooth, solid ground and a sky that glowed softly with hues of violet and gold. It was as if the realm itself was thanking them, rejoicing in its newfound stability.But even in the midst of this fragile peace, Kael felt a lingering unease gnawing at the edges of his mind. The fight had been won, and the wound sealed, but this was only a single step in a much larger battle. The Celestials had been driven back, but they were not defeated. He knew they were regrouping, planning their next move, and it was only a matter of time before they struck again.He glanced at his companions. They were still catching their breath, their faces flushed with relief and exhaustion. Vira’s lig
The Celestial Heist Chapter 220: The Shrouded Crossroads
The transition between realms was never gentle. As the Marauders followed Idris through the veil of shimmering energy, Kael felt a familiar, unsettling sensation—like being pulled through a whirlwind of shifting light and sound. For a few disorienting moments, reality itself seemed to warp around them, the air thick with the hum of unseen forces. Then, with a sudden jolt, the world solidified, and they found themselves standing on the threshold of the Shrouded Crossroads.The air was different here—heavy, almost suffocating. Kael’s eyes adjusted slowly to the muted colors of their surroundings. The landscape before them was a strange, labyrinthine expanse of twisting paths and towering stone archways, each one etched with runes that seemed to shimmer and shift when he looked at them directly. The ground was made of dark, polished stone that reflected the dim, swirling mist that hung over everything, casting an eerie glow that made the whole place feel like a dream—or a nightmare."Wha
The Celestial Heist Chapter 221: Visions of the Balance
The world broke apart around them.One moment, Kael felt solid ground beneath his feet, his teammates close by, the Seer’s shadow looming over them like a shroud. The next, everything dissolved into a swirl of light and darkness, a torrent of images and sensations flooding his senses. He staggered, disoriented, struggling to hold on to a sense of reality as he was pulled deeper into the Seer’s vision.The sensation was overwhelming. Colors bled into sounds, which in turn morphed into fleeting emotions—anger, fear, sorrow—all blending together in a dizzying kaleidoscope that made it impossible to tell where he ended and the vision began. His heart raced, his breath coming in shallow gasps as he fought to anchor himself.“Kael! Hold on!” Vira’s voice cut through the chaos, sharp and clear. He turned, straining to focus, and there she was—her form wavering, but unmistakably solid in the storm of sensations. Her light was a beacon, piercing through the swirling shadows. He reached for her
The Celestial Heist Chapter 222: Fractured Alliances
The journey back through the Crossroads felt longer than before. The mist clung to them, swirling in strange patterns, as if reluctant to let them go. Each of the Marauders moved with a purpose, but their minds were clearly elsewhere, caught between the Seer’s vision and the grim reality they were returning to. Even Idris, who usually radiated a quiet calm, seemed troubled.Kael glanced at his team. Their expressions were grim, their shoulders tense. The weight of the knowledge they had gained from the Seer hung over them like a shroud. They had learned what the Celestials wanted, but the path to stopping them was anything but clear. They needed more than strength—they needed allies, guidance, and a deeper understanding of the very balance they fought to protect.“We know their endgame now,” Kael said, breaking the silence. His voice sounded loud in the stillness of the Crossroads. “But the Seer was right. Knowing isn’t enough. We need to act.”“We need a plan,” Lyra agreed, her voice
The Celestial Heist Chapter 223: A Game of Shadows
The journey through the Crossroads felt endless after the confrontation with the Celestial general. The oppressive feeling of his presence lingered, even though he had disappeared, leaving an almost tangible residue of darkness in the air. It weighed on Kael and his team like a shroud, each of them struggling silently with the poisonous words he’d left behind.But the Marauders moved forward, step by determined step, refusing to let fear slow them. Kael kept his gaze fixed ahead, refusing to look back, to look at his friends’ faces, because he knew what he would see—doubt, worry, exhaustion. The general’s taunts had struck a nerve, and now, as they marched through the shifting, ethereal paths of the Crossroads, those doubts were clawing at each of them in their own way.“Almost there,” Idris murmured softly, breaking the silence. His golden eyes were sharp as he scanned the misty landscape around them. The Crossroads seemed to react to his gaze, the paths straightening and clearing ju
The Celestial Heist Chapter 224: Hidden Paths
The Crossroads felt different when the Marauders returned. It was still the same place—the endless mist, the twisting paths, the oppressive sense of something just out of reach. But now, it seemed quieter, as if even the realm itself was holding its breath, waiting to see what they would do next.Kael’s mind was racing as they moved through the shifting paths, his thoughts consumed by the Weaver’s words and the map she had shown them. Five anchor points. Five nexuses of power. Each one a potential battleground, each one critical to maintaining the balance across the realms. And somewhere out there, the Celestials were plotting to tear them apart.“Five points,” he murmured under his breath, his gaze distant. “We need to reach them before the Celestials do. But if the paths are hidden…”“It means we need to unlock them ourselves,” Lyra finished, glancing over at him. Her eyes were bright, her mind clearly working through the same puzzle. “The Weaver said the key lies within us. But wha
