Butch Salvatore guffawed loudly and heartily. "Little Britta delayed you, huh? That much was expected. You can ignore her childish tantrums."

Tyler pursed his lips. "You pretend you don't care about your granddaughter, but that is a pretense. You love her more than anything. Don't forget she's a grownup now."

The old man shook his head. "Never mind, son. We have a bigger creature to fry. Although, I wish Britta could see me in my actual form before the battle started. Did you know she was the one who summoned me from prison? She was really worried about you."

Wham! Tyler dissipated a dozen demons with a swing of his sword while having the conversation. "Enough beating around the bush, master… I need to speak with you about something important—"

"We don't have the time—"

The young man was adamant. "I insist!"

Butch sighed. "Fine. I'll give you a few seconds if you pass a test. You must successfully wipe out the pesky shadows and seal the Hetacomb well's mouth. An open door to the under

  • 323 The Garden of Prophecies

    "Get away from me," Tyler growled, pushing Kat away. Apparently, Natalie's arrival and her promise to help him hadn't changed his apocalyptic decision at all.The Sword of Surtr hung frozen in the sky, its massive blade still spanning horizon to horizon, and its white-hot runes pulsing like angry hearts. Heat waves rippled downward in relentless pulses, making the ground groan.Tyler hadn't dismissed it yet, merely paused its descent. His devilish form also remained unchanged.His sudden, brutal shove made Kat fly backward, and she landed hard yards away in the ash, rolling to a stop with a pained gasp. Mamushi hissed protectively, slithering to her mother's side.Lilith's forked tail lashed in alarm, her demoness eyes wide with genuine fear. Even Kat, the ancient goddess, looked up at him from the ground with something new in her expression—terror. He had gone past the threshold of saving.Tyler straightened himself, the black fire rising higher around his form. "If anybody dares to

  • 322 The Fallen King

    "NOOO!!!!" Tyler's scream echoed through the silence, across the endless craters and charred field that had once been Sapphire City's heart. He stood there in the central square—a god among ruins.Tyler's face, expressionless a moment ago in that first moment of shock, twisted slowly into something unrecognizable. His eyes became wide, and pupils dilated with horror that sank deeper with every moment until it reached the core of his soul."Michelle... is gone," he murmured to himself.The woman whose love had freed him, and whose kingdom he had sworn to protect. He had betrayed his Queen by seeking a crown and throne that were now useless.Tracy, his sister, whom he rescued from abuse, only to let her burn in nuclear fire.Ruth and Hugh, his parents, who had endured so much for him and had finally begun to be happy again.Britta, the last of the Salvatore bloodline, was loyal to him to the end.Isabella. The Gilded Guard. The countless innocents who crowned him King of Petra and put t

  • 321 The Seraphim King

    "Looks like you have a visitor," Tyler said with a knowing smile, ignoring Seraph's invitation to sit on the Seraphim King throne."A visitor?" Seraph asked in confusion. "There is no being who is powerful enough to infiltrate my castle. Not even Zeus!""I didn't say they were a being…" the young man replied with a shrug.The words had barely left his lips when the floor beneath them began to ripple. Water welled up from the crystal tiles, rising gently at first.Then, like a spring bubbling from an underground lake, the water began to swell higher, lapping at Tyler's ankles, his calves, until it reached his knees.The water was cool, carrying the scent of fresh rain and exotic lakes, shimmering with magical light that reflected the hall's crystal glow.Tyler felt healed of all his pain, wounds, and exhaustion from climbing to the cave. He looked up toward Seraph with his six wings folded majestically.The supreme being's face had changed. The joy of liberation faded into something vu

  • 320 True Love

    "Who exactly is this Destiny you fell in love with?" Tyler asked.Seraph's dying-star eyes fixated on him, and the young man saw a flicker of something almost human in that godly madness.Seraph leaned forward as much as his chains allowed. The metal groaned like a dying beast. "Destiny... She exists beyond time and space, beyond the grasp of imagination itself.""Do you mean she is a goddess?"The supreme being waved a dismissive hand. "Destiny is neither a goddess you pray to, nor a force you can command."He looked up as if he could stare through the crystals into the sky. "She is the weave of existence itself—the thread that binds fates of living and non-living, the silent architect of heroes and their stories."Tyler felt like he had learned nothing new from the explanation. "Where is she?""Destiny only reveals herself to those who dare to defy the impossible—true heroes who bend predestination with their wills alone."The young man furrowed his brow because something about this

  • 319 The Origin

    "Who are you?" Tyler demanded of the massive seated figure. His voice echoed throughout the cavernous, ancient hall like a challenge.The young man stood panting. Every muscle in his body screamed from the grueling climb. It had been months since he crossed the forest tunnel into Wings Island.The moment he stepped through, the island's wards stripped him of his powers. No mystical energy surged through his veins. No divine contracts answered his call.Excalibur was nowhere in the ether, and Poseidon's Trident refused to manifest. Most surprisingly, his enhanced strength had vanished, leaving him as ordinary as the day he went to Montserrat Prison.The terrain had been merciless to Tyler. He climbed up jagged cliffs that clawed at his hands until they bled. He fought through vines thick as pythons, ensnaring his ankles. Endless dead drops forced him to crawl on bloodied knees.The young man had rationed the meager supplies from his pack, sleeping in shallow caves to avoid wild animals

  • 318 The Comet

    Michelle frowned, pushing through the crowd. "Evacuation? What are you talking about, Sergeant? We just won the war against Lazarus' armies. What's the issue?"He grabbed her arm, speaking with an urgent and panicked voice. "Ma'am, there is no time for discussion. Please hurry!"The Queen followed him up the spiral stairs to the palace's observation deck. The city sprawled below like a wounded beast licking its scars. Apart from the sirens and alarms, everything seemed normal. What was the Sergeant worried about?The others trailed behind. Kat, Britta, Yara, Tracy, Isabella, and Mamushi arrived. The terrace was a station with radar tech, with screens flickering madly."My Queen… Please look," the Sergeant gasped, jabbing a finger at the central display. A blip streaked across the radar range.Michelle leaned in with raised brows. "What is that? A missile? Can't our air defense systems neutralize it? Why did you have to bring me up here?"The Sergeant looked scandalized as if he had se
