The Guardian and the Archon: The Cursed Shadow Chapter 84: Clash of Power
Kael charged at the Archon, his axe blazing with the light of the guardians. Each step thudded against the stone floor, his determination unwavering as his golden armor shimmered in the dim light. The Archon observed his approach with a smirk, his voice cold. "You’ve come far, Kael. But raw power alone won’t save you." Kael swung his axe with precision, aiming directly at the Archon’s shadowy form. The strike connected, but instead of landing a blow, it met a barrier of solid darkness. The force ricocheted, throwing Kael off balance as the Archon chuckled. "Still too reckless," the Archon mocked, raising his hand. A shadowy tendril shot forward, wrapping tightly around Kael’s arm and pulling him closer. Kael gritted his teeth, channeling his energy into a burst of golden light that severed the tendril. He stepped back, his breathing steady. "You won’t win," he said firmly. Kael adjusted his stance and lunged again, his strikes more precise and deliberate. The Archon dodged
The Guardian and the Archon: The Cursed Shadow Chapter 85: Love became the weapon
Kael’s breath hitched as he felt the sharp, searing pain in his back. Time seemed to slow as he staggered forward, his grip on his weapon weakening. With a grimace, he turned his head to see who had attacked him. “K-Kleera?” he whispered, his voice trembling with disbelief and pain. Before him stood Kleera, but she wasn’t the same. Her once bright eyes were now a void of inky blackness, veins snaking across her face and neck like a grotesque web. Her pale skin made her look more like a puppet of darkness than the vibrant person he knew. “No… this isn’t you,” Kael murmured, his voice cracking as he struggled to process what he was seeing. He instinctively looked toward his mother, Kaida, and felt his heart sink further. She lay motionless on the ground, her frail body barely rising with shallow breaths. “Kleera… snap out of it!” Aeron’s voice broke through the tense silence, but even he was frozen in shock. Beside him, Galen stood wide-eyed, his sword momentarily lowering. Th
The Guardian and the Archon: The Cursed Shadow Chapter 86: ORACLE'S VISION BECAME AN INTIMACY
From the shadows stepped Lyra, her figure cloaked in an aura of menace and malice. Her confident smirk grew as her gaze fell upon Kael, weakened and bleeding, with Kleera standing protectively in front of him. The atmosphere thickened with tension, broken only by Lyra’s cold, mocking laugh. “How sweet,” she began, her voice dripping with mockery. “The mighty Kael, reduced to this. And Kleera—what a touching display of loyalty. Though I must admit, I wasn’t expecting you to lend me a hand, Kleera.” Her sardonic laughter resonated as she stepped forward. “Putting the blade to him like that? You’re more like me than you want to believe.” Kleera’s eyes burned with fury as she stood her ground. “You’re wrong, Lyra! I didn’t kill him—I would never hurt Kael!” she shouted, her voice filled with anger and desperation. “Don’t you dare compare me to you! I’m nothing like you!” Lyra tilted her head, her smirk unfaltering. “Deny it all you want, darling. But the truth is, you’ve already cro
The Guardian and the Archon: The Cursed Shadow Chapter 87: The Guardian Vs. The Archon
Aeron fought fiercely against the darkness, his blade clashing with the overwhelming power of the Archon. However, the shadows lurking behind him moved swiftly, wrapping around his body like chains. The oppressive energy tightened its grip, sapping his strength and forcing him to his knees. “Aeron!” Galen’s voice broke through the chaos, filled with alarm. Yet, he couldn’t turn his back on the Archon. He pressed forward, slashing at his enemy with every ounce of strength he had. “You Guardians are resilient,” the Archon taunted, his tone laced with mockery. “But even the strongest of you will crumble. You cannot hope to defeat me!” Galen stood firm, his eyes blazing with determination. “We don’t need hope,” he said, his voice unwavering. “We have the light, and it will guide us to victory!” Kael, standing at a distance, finally noticed Aeron struggling against the shadows. Panic surged through him as he saw his comrade weakening. Without hesitation, he sprinted toward Aeron, desp
The Guardian and the Archon: The Cursed Shadow Chapter 88: Ezyel's Innate Power
Kael’s mind was in turmoil as he pulled Aeron’s lifeless body closer, his heart heavy with grief. Beside him, Galen struggled to keep pace, his arms burdened with Aeron’s weight. Despite the chaos surrounding them, Kael’s resolve remained firm as he glanced back at his unconscious mother, Kaida, lying motionless in Galen’s care. “We have to leave!” Kael shouted, his voice hoarse but unwavering. “We’ll change the plan. Galen, carry Aeron’s body. We have to retreat for now!” Without hesitation, Galen adjusted Aeron’s body and nodded. The group began their escape, navigating through the endless swarm of cursed shadows that surged after them like a living tide. The grotesque creatures hissed and shrieked, their dark forms reaching out with clawed hands to grab at the fleeing warriors. Kael’s light flared, creating a barrier of radiant energy that momentarily slowed their advance. “Move! Keep moving!” Kael barked, his voice cutting through the cacophony of the pursuing shadows. His st
The Guardian and the Archon: The Cursed Shadow Chapter 89: Elian; The Mysterious Man
As the gates of the Solarian Kingdom opened, the grand courtyard fell silent. The sight of Kael leading the group, battered but alive, brought a flicker of hope to the waiting soldiers and court members. Yet, that hope quickly dimmed as Galen walked behind, carrying Aeron’s lifeless body wrapped in a solemn shroud. Queen Eithera descended the royal steps, her usual regal composure replaced with an urgency that betrayed her emotions. She moved swiftly toward her grandson, relief shining momentarily in her eyes as she took in Kael’s presence. “Kael!” she called, her voice trembling with a mix of worry and joy. But as her gaze fell on the shrouded form in Galen’s arms, her steps faltered. Her hand flew to her mouth, and her expression crumpled in grief. “Oh,” she whispered, her voice heavy with sorrow. “I’m so sorry for your friend’s loss.” Kael, his face pale and etched with anguish, stepped forward. “My Queen… we can’t lose Aeron,” he said, his voice breaking as he gestured to his
The Guardian and the Archon: The Cursed Shadow Chapter 90: THE TRUE IDENTITY OF THE ARCHON
Kael strode toward the courtroom, his footsteps echoing against the polished marble floor. The air was heavy with an unseen tension as he pushed open the large wooden doors, revealing the vast room. Standing by the tall arched window was Elian, his figure bathed in the glow of the setting sun. The old man held a worn leather-bound book in his hands, his gaze fixed on the horizon. Sensing Kael’s presence, Elian spoke without turning. “Come closer, kid,” his voice calm, carrying a weight of authority and wisdom. Kael hesitated briefly before stepping forward. As he approached, his curiosity grew, but so did his frustration. “So… why didn’t you tell me about your true identity, Elian?” he asked, his tone measured but firm. Elian closed the book and turned to face Kael, his expression both serene and solemn. “I was waiting for the right time to reveal it,” he began. “Since you’ve discovered yourself as the chosen one, and the others as the Guardians of Light, I believe now is the mome
The Guardian and the Archon: The Cursed Shadow Chapter 91: Darkness and Obsession
Kael wandered the quiet halls of the chamber, lost in thought when his eyes landed on a familiar figure. Kleera sat by the corner, her shoulders slightly slumped as she gently caressed a bow and arrow—the weapon Aeron had left behind. Beside her, a leather-bound book with Caleb’s insignia rested on the stone bench. Kael paused for a moment, taking in the sorrow etched into her features. Her hands trembled as she traced the intricate carvings on the bow, and though her face was calm, he could see the quiet storm brewing in her eyes. “Kleera,” Kael called softly, his voice breaking the silence as he approached her. He sat beside her without hesitation. Startled, Kleera quickly wiped at her tear-streaked face and forced a shaky smile. “Ah… good morning, Kael,” she said, trying to sound composed. But Kael saw through her attempt. Her smile didn’t reach her eyes, and the ache in her voice betrayed her. “You miss them, don’t you?” he asked gently, his tone filled with understanding. S

Chapter 93: The Archon
“Mother... do you remember Caleb?” Kael’s voice trembled slightly as he stepped closer to the frail figure seated by the window. The soft light of the morning sun illuminated Kaida’s silver-streaked hair, her once-vivid eyes clouded with years of sorrow and battle. “Your colleague… back when you fought the Archon?” His words hung in the air like a fragile thread, attempting to tug at her scattered memories. Kaida’s fingers, once nimble and strong, paused in their idle trace along the windowpane. She turned to him, her face momentarily blank. Then, something sparked within her, a flicker of recognition. Her lips curved into a small, excited smile that lit up her weary features. “Caleb...” she murmured, the name slipping past her lips like a cherished melody long forgotten. Her smile grew brighter, more youthful, as though the name alone breathed life into her. “Caleb! Where is he?” she suddenly exclaimed, her voice filled with unbridled excitement. Her hands gripped Kael’s arm as if
Chapter 92: Reunited
Kaida stirred awake, her body still weary from the long rest. A soft, warm touch caressed her cheek, and as her eyes fluttered open, she was met with the gentle, tear-filled gaze of Queen Eithera. The queen's smile was radiant yet trembling with emotion. Kaida blinked, taking in the sight before her. Slowly, she raised her head and, as recognition dawned, her breath hitched. Her emotions overwhelmed her, and she threw her arms around the queen in a deep, heartfelt embrace. “Mother! Mother! I’ve missed you so much!” Kaida cried, her voice breaking as tears streamed down her cheeks. She clung to the queen as though afraid she might disappear again. Queen Eithera held her daughter tightly, her own tears flowing freely. “Oh, my poor daughter,” she murmured, her voice choked with joy and relief. “I’ve waited so long for this day. Every night, I prayed that I would see you again, and now... here you are, my love. Alive. You’re finally home.” Their embrace lingered, a moment of pur
