The Celestial Heist Chapter 246: Into the Heart of Shadows
The air grew colder with every step they took, a biting chill that clung to Naya’s skin, making the hairs on the back of her neck rise. The dark tower loomed closer, its jagged, blackened walls twisting and writhing like something alive. The structure was unnatural, pulsing with dark energy that seemed to ripple through the very fabric of the realm. Naya could feel the weight of it pressing down on her, the twisted, malevolent presence of Nerron saturating the atmosphere. Each breath felt heavier, as though the air itself resisted her lungs.“This place reeks of his corruption,” Korrin muttered, his voice a low growl. His wings flexed restlessly, his hand gripping the hilt of his weapon tightly. “We’re walking right into his trap.”“I know,” Kael replied, his tone calm but tense. His eyes scanned the dark horizon, searching for any sign of movement. “But we don’t have a choice. If we’re going to end this, we need to face him head-on.”Vira moved quietly alongside them, her eyes glowin
The Celestial Heist Chapter 247: The Battle for the Crossroads
The chamber roared to life with the clash of light and darkness. Naya’s heart pounded in her chest as she unleashed her magic, a brilliant beam of energy slicing through the torrent of shadows rushing toward them. The air crackled with power, the intensity of the battle shaking the walls of Nerron’s twisted fortress. Every breath she took was thick with tension, the weight of what was at stake pressing down on her shoulders.Nerron stood at the center of the chaos, a dark figure on his throne, his eyes glowing with twisted satisfaction. His laughter echoed through the chamber, mocking and cold. “You think your light can stop me, little Seer? You are nothing against the darkness I control!”“We’ll see about that!” Kael shouted, his sword cutting through the air with a flash of silver fire. He leaped forward, his blade meeting the tendrils of shadow that surged from Nerron’s hands, the impact sending shockwaves through the room. Sparks flew as light and dark collided, the two forces loc
The Celestial Heist Chapter 248: The Tempest Within
The roar of the Thunder-Splitting Dragon echoed through the shattered chamber, shaking the very walls of reality. Its wings unfurled, shimmering with jagged currents of electricity that danced across the storm clouds swirling around its massive form. Thunder boomed, splitting the air with a deafening crack as bolts of lightning crashed into the ground. Each step the dragon took sent tremors rippling through the unstable realm, the balance teetering on the edge of collapse.Naya clenched her fists, the storm of energy surging within her like a coiled serpent. She could feel the raw, unfiltered power radiating from the dragon—a force both beautiful and terrifying. It wasn’t just destruction the dragon offered. It was something more, something seductive: control. A chance to wield ultimate power, to shape the realms as she saw fit, to stop the chaos before it could start.The dragon’s eyes glowed, as if sensing the turmoil within her. It opened its maw and released a torrent of lightning
The Celestial Heist Chapter 249: The Calm Before the Next Storm
The stillness in the aftermath of the dragon’s defeat felt surreal. The oppressive storm that had raged moments ago was gone, leaving only faint trails of residual energy rippling across the fractured ground. The twisted walls of Nerron’s dark tower were cracked and crumbling, and the skies above, once torn by lightning and swirling clouds, had become eerily calm, as though holding its breath for what was to come.Naya leaned against Kael, her energy drained but her spirit steady. The weight of the battle lingered in her bones, but the dragon’s defeat had brought with it a strange sense of closure. Yet, as the moments ticked by in silence, unease began to creep into her heart. It was too quiet—too easy.Korrin shook out his wings, muttering under his breath as he surveyed the aftermath. “That dragon should’ve been the end of it,” he growled, frustration clear in his voice. “But it doesn’t feel like we’re done.”“We’re not,” Vira murmured, her glowing wings dimming to a faint shimmer.
The Celestial Heist Chapter 250: Into the Eye of the Crossroads
The journey to the Crossroads was unlike anything Naya had imagined. Each step they took seemed to ripple through space and time, pulling threads of magic tighter around them. The air grew heavier, buzzing with unspent energy, as if the realms themselves were bracing for impact. Paths that once seemed clear twisted unexpectedly, turning into labyrinthine corridors between dimensions. There were no signs, no markers—just an unsettling sense that they were being watched by forces older than memory.“Are we sure we’re going the right way?” Korrin grumbled, his wings tucked in tightly as he scanned the flickering landscape. "Feels like we’ve been walking in circles.”“We are,” Naya replied, her voice low but certain. “I can feel it drawing us closer.”The path ahead shimmered like a mirage, shifting with each breath. Lyra adjusted her device again, muttering curses under her breath as the runes flickered and blinked in rapid succession.“These fluctuations are insane,” she said, tapping a
The Celestial Heist Chapter 251: Whispers in the Aftermath
The eerie silence following the battle was almost as unsettling as the storm that had raged moments before. The remnants of the Crossroads shimmered in the background, a haunting reminder of the power they had narrowly escaped. The air still buzzed with latent energy, as if the nexus wasn’t entirely done with them yet.Naya leaned on Kael’s shoulder to steady herself, wiping sweat from her brow. The victory felt hollow—like they had won the battle but stirred something far worse in the process."We stopped it... right?" Korrin’s wings rustled uneasily as he scanned the clearing, eyes sharp with paranoia. "I mean, we’re not going to fight some second-phase transformation, are we?"Lyra chuckled, though it was a half-hearted sound. "No more dragons, at least for today." She squinted at the remnants of the Crossroads, her device still glowing faintly. "But this energy... It’s not gone. It's just waiting."Kael sheathed his sword, the quiet metallic click breaking the tension. “If it’s wa
The Celestial Heist Chapter 252: Storms on the Horizon
The forest stretched endlessly ahead, dense with shadows and tangled roots. The remnants of the battle with the Thunder-Splitting Dragon still clung to the air, electric and uneasy. Every step forward felt like stepping into a trap, yet the group moved without hesitation, a shared purpose binding them tighter than ever.Naya adjusted her grip on her staff, feeling the pulse of lingering magic swirl around its core. It wasn’t just the Crossroads that had stirred something inside her—something ancient, wild, and dangerous. She could feel it simmering beneath the surface, whispering promises of power again. But she held it at bay, for now.Kael marched at the front, eyes sharp and focused. His sword was strapped securely at his side, but his fingers twitched as if itching to draw it. He knew, just like the others, that the peace they walked through was deceptive—a calm before a new storm.Korrin's wings flicked nervously as he hovered just above the ground. “I hate this silence. It’s lik
The Celestial Heist Chapter 253: Echoes of the Storm
The aftermath of the battle left an eerie calm in the forest. It was too quiet—no birds, no rustling of leaves, only the faint hum of dissipating magic. The group stood motionless, catching their breath. Storms were fleeting things in the natural world, but this one had been an omen.Kael sheathed his sword with a sharp click and scanned the clearing. “That wasn’t just an attack... someone’s playing with forces they shouldn’t.”Vira nodded solemnly, folding her shimmering wings close to her body. “The dragon’s energy didn’t just vanish after the battle—it’s been harnessed. Fragmented into forms like that... avatar.”Korrin shook his head, still hovering a few feet above the ground. “If the avatar was only a piece of the dragon’s power, what’s waiting for us when we meet the full force of it?”“That’s the part I don’t want to find out,” Lyra muttered, tapping rapidly at her device, pulling logs of energy readings from the fight. “This is strange—there are matching signals nearby, and t
