2025-01-09 09:00:50After a few hours of relentless chaos, Venganza strode through the central chamber of the monastery, surveying the aftermath of her rampage. Blood adorned her visage, a testament to the violence she had wrought, while her hand gripped tightly around her sinister, curved dagger, now imbued with the lifeblood of the fallen monks. The once serene space was now a tableau of horror, with crimson splatters and lifeless forms strewn across the cold stone floor. Her demonic companion, a hellion of the darkest realms, feasted upon the lingering souls of the deceased, adding an eerie aura to the scene.
As Venganza scanned the main chamber, her keen senses detected an unusual phenomenon—a subtle current of air emanating from behind the monastery's sacred altar. With a predatory glint in her eyes, she directed her gaze towards the altar, her curiosity piqued. Stretching out her hand, she reached towards the sour

Descending to the lower depths of the Venganza, Maleek's footsteps echoed against the worn stone, each step a reminder of the desolation that surrounded him. As he traversed the seemingly endless expanse, his gaze was drawn to a colossal bridge stretching across the abyss, a testament to forgotten times. The bridge, spanning at least two miles in length, bore the weight of neglect, with three abandoned checkpoint towers standing as silent sentinels along its path.Reaching the end of the bridge, Maleek's eyes widened in awe at the sight of a towering citadel, its imposing presence casting a shadow over the deserted landscape. The city emanated an ethereal glow, its colors shifting and merging in a mesmerizing display.

As Aaslaam emerged from the icy waters below the towering pillars of the city, he gasped for breath, fighting against the relentless current. "By the gods, that was close," he muttered to himself, his voice barely audible over the rush of the river. With determined strokes, he swam towards a rocky shore, his muscles aching with exhaustion. As he pulled himself onto the cold, unforgiving rocks, he lay there for a moment, staring up at the imposing silhouette of the bridge city above.Shivering from the biting cold, Aaslaam struggled to his feet, his teeth chattering as he scanned the area. Spotting his scimitar bobbing in the water nearby, he hurried over to retrieve it, the icy grip of the river still clinging to its blade. "At least I won't be defenseless," he muttered, his fingers tightening around the familiar hilt.But as he stood there, the wind began to h

After three days of rest, Voltus stood at the ready, prepared for the imminent showdown with Raifujun. Leading Maleek and Aaslaam toward the towering peak where the Raphaelim pillar stood, Voltus left Palo behind to greet Princess Sehesatia, who was en route from the Western Void Pillar to discuss her findings from the ruins.As they ascended the steep slopes in silence, Voltus, Maleek, and Aaslaam relied on ropes, bolts, and harnesses to conquer the mountain's daunting heights. Upon reaching a base point, they encountered a platoon of Hellion soldiers patrolling the skies. Without hesitation, Voltus engaged them in battle, his anger fueling his determination to swiftly dispatch each foe.The night descended with Voltus's silence unbroken, his gaze fixed upon the dimly lit crystal infrastructure above.

The Dark Ichalocha Of Terres Nei CHAPTER 67: Victory of Malicious Contempt
A day after committing her slaughterous act at the Borreaus Monastery, Venganza returned to Seklas's retreat on the Nibirian continent. The air hung heavy with the stench of death, and the once-hallowed halls of the mountainous stronghold now echoed with the silence of the fallen. Venganza, draped in a hooded dress that left her midriff exposed, walked through the desolate corridors with an air of triumph. Two imperial guards, their armor stained with the blood of the fallen, followed closely behind, carrying a small metal chest clinked with an ominous weight.The journey through the deadened halls led them to Seklas's private chambers, which had witnessed the rise and fall of kingdoms and now bore witness to the aftermath of Venganza's brutal campaign. As the heavy door swung open, Venganza entered with a devilish grin, a macabre dance of shadows playing across her face. Seklas, seated on his ominous throne, did not move, his eyes daggering her with a mix of disappointment and curiosi
The Dark Ichalocha Of Terres Nei CHAPTER 68: REFLECTIONS OF DIVERGENCE
Venganza's mind buzzed with the echoes of Seklas's sudden assault, the airship's engines humming in sync with the turbulence within her thoughts. As she strode through the ornate corridors adorned with intricate gothic details reminiscent of a bygone era, she could feel the weight of her responsibilities pressing down on her. The Gabreaus Mareum region loomed ahead, promising both adventure and peril, mirroring the dichotomy of her existence. Returning to her private quarters, Venganza found a haven amid the opulence of dark wood and rich fabrics. The airship's rhythmic hum provided a melodic backdrop as she reclined on a luxurious bed, a respite from the chaos surrounding her. The room exuded an air of mystery, befitting the enigmatic leader she was, with its shadows dancing in harmony with her contemplative mood.
The Dark Ichalocha Of Terres Nei CHAPTER 69: CASTING SAILS
Eight months had passed since Maleek's arrival in Terres Nei, with the last four spent navigating the intricate landscapes of the Raphaelium Region. Now present day, it has been a week since the Raphaelium Pillar has been freed from Nibirian control. Maleek took a much-needed respite to recover from the overwhelming fatigue that accompanied the acquisition of two elemental magics in a concise span. Terres Neians typically required years for their auras to attune to a single elemental magic. Yet, Maleek, not native to this realm, had harnessed two elements, energies beyond his comprehension and lacking the spiritual training to wield them with finesse. Rescued by Sehesatia, Palo orchestrated the retrieval of Aaslaam and Maleek, bringing them back to the capital of Illuminairium. Maleek awoke to find himself within the confines of the Illuminairum Medical facilit
The Dark Ichalocha Of Terres Nei CHAPTER 70: WARRIOR NUN OF THE OPEN SEAS
The next day, Princess Sehesatia and Maleek embarked on a small transport bound for the Royal Port City, situated southeast of the capital. The vessel gently touched down on the western side of the bustling seaport, prompting the duo to traverse the remaining distance on foot. As they approached a massive freight sail ship, their attention was captivated by the sight of a gravitational crane hoisting components of the Void Pillar genetic device onto the vessel's lower decks. The scene seemed straight out of a futuristic narrative, reminiscent of the technology showcased in Star Trek. Amid this spectacle, Sehesatia's gaze locked onto Palo Aaslaam, who stood beside a short, middle-aged woman named Namaka Mazu. Namaka, hailing from the Gabrean region, was renowned for her exceptional seamanship, a characteristic shared by many den
The Dark Ichalocha Of Terres Nei CHAPTER 71: CLERGY LOVERS OF OPPOSING ELEMENTS
In the lower regions of the realm, the Gabrean priestess flagship sails on the Sea of Discordia. The sea ship is twice as large as Namaka's and far more advanced with its crystal engine core. It is also faster and equipped with an arc and cryo cannon that are advanced in design. The ship's hull is made from combined metal and hardened coral polyps, which are four feet thick. The ship motors run on water jet propulsion. This prize warship belongs to the Priestess Mazumi Varun, gifted by The Priestess Infritus Pelas. Inside the Priestess's large aquatic design cabin, the atmosphere hummed with mystical energy as Mazumi, the formidable guardian of the Gabreaus Pillar, focused her attention on a small fountain. The aquatic-themed chamber, adorned with intricate designs reminiscent of ocean waves, was a testament to her dominion with the sea. The city of Illuminarium spra

CHAPTER 106: ARENA FORGE CITY
As the group arrived at the imposing Arena Forge City, Maleek couldn't help but be captivated by the encased city, its ominous silhouette contrasting with the billowing smoke that tainted the skies, casting an even darker shadow over the surroundings. Determined to infiltrate the city discreetly, Maleek, Shangus and the rest of the group abandoned their veruns, programming them to return to Seti Port City autonomously.Maleek, Shangus, and the others abandoned the veruns, setting them to return to Seti Port City. The group watched recon the city for hours until they devised a plan. They constantly shipped raw materials into the town via hovercraft transport ships. On the end of the desert, natural quarts of material mined from the rigs; and brought here to be processed into usable material. The processed material would be sent to the ship and machine yards within the inner regions. Shangus would lead the group into the city by sneaking on one of the transport ships.Maleek, Shangus, P
CHAPTER 105: OF ROYAL INVENTIONS
Princess Sehesatia found herself deep in the bustling activity of the lower levels of the Gabrean Monastery ship, which had recently docked at the Royal Port City. What had once been a serene sanctum dedicated to spiritual reflection had now been transformed into a high-tech war machine, humming with the fervor of research and innovation. The ship's spacious work area, once a quiet haven for monks and scholars, had been overtaken by the clattering of tools, the hum of energy conduits, and the persistent whir of machines—a far cry from its former state. It was now the heart of a sophisticated weapons development project, one that had been initiated by Maleek before his pilgrimage to the Mikaelium region. His absence had left a void, but the work he had started was far from abandoned. Instead, it was in the capable hands of Sehesatia, who, after weeks of preparations, had fully embraced her role as both protector and innovator.Maleek’s departure had left the kingdom vulnerable, and the
CHAPTER 104: A WAYWARD SORCERESS
High above a plateau to the north, Venganza stood at the edge, her silhouette barely visible against the backdrop of a vast, oppressive desert stretching to the horizon. The sun, relentless and burning, cast its scorching rays over the land, turning the sands below into a shimmering, blistering expanse. The wind was merciless, carrying the scent of sulfur and ash from the erupting volcanic valleys nearby. She stood still, her eyes fixed on the holographic display before her, which flickered with the images of Maleek and his crew crossing the vast desert. Though it had only been a few days since their departure, they were still a considerable distance away from the inner sanctum of the Illuminarium Region. But Venganza had a head start. A few days' lead, in fact, which was an advantage that she would not squander.With a slight, calculated smirk on her face, she let her eyes linger on the desert stretch. The hologram zoomed in on Maleek, the enigmatic leader of the resistance, and his
CHAPTER 103: THE VITRUM DESERT
Shangus assumed the role of the pilgrimage leader as the Mikaelium Region was his birthplace. Leaving the city through the eastern city gates, they embarked on the sandy expanse of the Vitrum desert. The city's towering and imposing gates stood as the threshold between civilization and the vast wasteland that stretched before them. The scorching sun bore down on the sandy expanse, creating a mirage-like effect that played tricks on the eyes.As the group ventured further into the desert, the landscape transformed into a surreal scene dominated by massive machine rigs. These colossal structures were tirelessly at work, their metallic frames blending with the arid surroundings as they extracted a mysterious substance from the depths of the desert. The rhythmic churning of gears and the billowing smoke that tainted the once-clear sky hinted at the industrial endeavors occurring within this desolate realm.Shangus, a font of knowledge about the intricacies of the desert, elucidated the pu
CHAPTER 102: BRIDGING TWO ETHER OF INTEREST
Maleek’s mind buzzed with confusion as he grappled with the enigma that was Venganza’s recent behavior. The transformation was so sudden, so stark, that it left him feeling unmoored, adrift in a sea of questions. Just hours ago, Venganza had been an indomitable adversary—her power and resolve legendary. She had been a force of nature, wielding magic with an iron will, unrelenting and terrifying. But now, she seemed almost… human. Her once-impassive demeanor had cracked, revealing flashes of something more vulnerable, more uncertain. She had delivered cryptic warnings, barely more than fragments of sentences, laced with strange, unspoken meaning. Those words, dripping with veiled threats and unfulfilled promises, lingered in Maleek’s mind like a riddle he couldn’t solve.“What the hell was that about?” Maleek muttered to himself, his brows furrowing in perplexity. The words tumbled out before he could even stop them. It wasn’t just confusion that gnawed at him now. It was unease—a grow
CHAPTER 101: WORDS OF PROMISES, PACTS, AND PROFUSE WARNINGS
As the evening unfolded, Maleek made his way to a rented abode, one of the many that Shangus had secured for the entourage. The inn was a sprawling labyrinth of dimly lit hallways and mismatched rooms, a place that was both a temporary sanctuary and a haven for the travelers who had arrived in the bustling city for various, often secretive, reasons. Each member of their party had their own space, a momentary retreat from the chaos of their shared mission. Maleek, having grown accustomed to the transient nature of his life, settled into his quarters without much thought.The room was sparsely furnished, a simple bed, a rickety wooden desk, and a chair that creaked ominously when he sat down. The faded curtains, stained from years of use, hung loosely at the windows, allowing just enough moonlight to filter in, casting a dull sheen across the bare floorboards. He had been on his feet for what felt like days, traveling through the realms, facing down one conflict after another. The weari
CHAPTER 100: A SORCERSS OF HER INTENTIONS
After a long day’s grueling journey through the desert, where the wind howled like a beast and the sand seemed to burn with the unrelenting heat of the sun, Venganza finally found herself in the heart of the port city. She was worn out, her clothes clinging to her skin, her hair matted with sweat, but none of that mattered now. The city was alive, a vibrant tapestry of noise, color, and energy—a stark contrast to the solitude and silence of the desert that had nearly suffocated her. From every direction, the sounds of merchants calling out their wares, children laughing and shouting in the streets, and the clatter of hooves against cobblestone mixed together in a chaotic symphony of urban life.Venganza, however, didn’t feel the pulse of life around her. She felt only the storm that had just struck within her—an unsettling premonition, a psychic echo of something to come. It rang in her mind, as clear and sharp as the sound of a bell tolling in the dead of night. She stopped, her breat
CHAPTER 99: SETI PORT CITY
The Gabrean ship arrived on the outskirts of the Mikaelium region, its sleek form silhouetted against the pale blue sky. The tall plateaus that bordered the region cast long, jagged shadows, adding an air of foreboding to the landscape. The vessel anchored gracefully just a few miles from the bustling port city ahead, its presence barely noticeable amidst the rocky terrain. To keep their arrival concealed, the crew opted for a smaller, more agile boat to navigate the waters, avoiding the busy harbor and any unwanted attention. They made their way silently to the northwestern cliffs, where the rough, jagged rocks offered both cover and an isolated path leading into the heart of the city.Although the city was the sole gateway to the Mikaelium region, paradoxically, it offered the safest means of entry. Its dense architecture, narrow streets, and heavy merchant traffic provided ample opportunities for those seeking discretion to blend in and move unnoticed. In contrast, the surrounding
CHAPTER 98: A FIRE PRIEST GRIEVANCE
Seklas stood in the heart of his grand war room, a vast chamber carved from the bedrock of a forgotten mountain, its walls adorned with ancient tapestries that depicted the rise of his empire. The torches along the stone walls flickered, casting long, eerie shadows that seemed to move as if alive. They danced across the intricately engraved pillars and battle-worn furniture, highlighting the heavy weight of defeat that now hung in the air. The empire that had once stood unchallenged, its reach stretching across dimensions, was now teetering on the brink of ruin. A new power was rising, one that Seklas had not foreseen, and it was threatening everything he had built over centuries of bloodshed and manipulation.He stood motionless, staring down at the massive map sprawled across the obsidian table in front of him. His sharp eyes scanned the markers and symbols that indicated the locations of his forces, the points of conflict, and the fragile pockets of resistance that had sprung up in
