Tides Of Eternity Chapter 109: The Hollow King’s Judgment
Kaiza had little time to react.The blade arrived faster than was thought possible a silver line, a ribbon of flame and destruction, splitting the air. His instinct screamed to move, but his body, still bruised and raw from the chasm, was too slow.A stabbing pain detonated in his side as the edge of the blade tore flesh, the impact slamming him down onto the vibrating black streets. Blood spattered in all directions, sizzling against the living ground on impact.Not abyssal. Not shadow-forged. Something else.Kaiza ground his teeth, his breaths harsh and erratic as he shoved himself upright, glaring at his assailant.And there they stood.A gauzy figure, draped in silver and fire, their form rippling in the half-light of the Hollow King’s domain. Their armor was not solid but fluid, shifting like seeping metal, pulsing with sinuous lines of deep crimson. As was their sword the weapon that had shredded him, tauntingly, bloodless of the same stuff, swinging between solid steel and liqu
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 110: Just Beneath the Surface
The sky split open.Not a crack, not a tear a WOUND.Reality itself screamed through jagged fractures slicing the Hollow City’s abyssal skyline.The eddying darkness distorted, pulling apart at the frayed edges, spiraling into something worse.Kaiza sensed it before he saw it.A pulse. Not of abyssal energy, not of flame, but something else. Something older than both.And it came from Mina.She was close.Her presence seared his senses, unrefined and unrefined. But something was off.Something within her that’s not supposed to exist.Kaiza gingerly gritted his teeth and sat despite himself.His body objected, the Judicator’s wound still gnawing on his being, but that was irrelevant.Nothing else mattered but reaching Mina.The Hollow King had stood from his throne.His golden gaze raged, but for the first time, it wasn’t trained on Kaiza.Their eyes were fixed on the fractured sky.On her."Impossible." The Hollow King’s quiet voice took on something, not amusement this time.Not with
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 111: The Unseen Devourer
A new presence placed a burden between Heaven and man.It was no mere arrival itas an invasion, a subversion of reality itself.The sky trembled; the Abyss quaked; everything in the Hollow City shook in the embrace of some inconceivable power, as if the very being of things rebelled at what had entered in.Kaiza swayed, ragged for breath, body yelling in wounds already delivered.That thing in Mina had nearly torn him asunder.Where her hand had passed through him, his soul still burned angony beyond that of flesh, beyond the physical.But this… this was worse.The Unseen Devourer didn’t descend from the sky like a deity.It did not emerge from the underworld like a demon.It was a vacuum untilt wasn’t.A crack in the world, a wound deeper even than the broken sky, gaped open like torn flesh. It did not step through. It never existed.It ate its way into being.Kaiza didn’t so much see it as feel it theunger.One that not only wanted to eatbut only wanted to gorge. A kind of energy t
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 112: The Name That Should Not Be Spoken
The world cracked open.A heavy silence fell over the Hollow City, thicker than death, more complete than the void.For a heartbeat, even the Devourer appeared to pause.The name still lingered; it trembled with an unimaginable heaviness.Azelith.Kaiza barely registered the move before Mina, or whatever was inside her, stumbled one step back, and her blackened eyes widened.Something flared in her face: recognition, rage, fear.The figure in the hood stood still, their sword as dark as a starless night.The blade thrummed, the very air curving away from it as if trying to avoid its touch.Kaiza’s lungs felt like ash, his ribs howling as he pulled himself up from the rubble.The mind was still reeling, trying to make sense of what he had just coursed through.The Hollow King was gone.Eaten.Not dead. Not even erased. Just… unmade.The Unseen Devourer had not slain him.It had merely behaved how it always did, devour.A deity rendered null in mere seconds.And now it loomed, its impos
Tides Of Eternity Episode 1:The Cursed Wanderer
The small fishing village of Inaba was nestled against jagged cliffs, where the ocean’s waves crashed relentlessly. The scent of salt hung heavy in the air, mingling with the faint aroma of smoked fish from the market. Evening was falling, casting the horizon in shades of amber and violet, as Kaiza walked into town. His dark cloak was frayed at the edges, a testament to countless journeys, and his eyes carried the weight of centuries. He kept his hood low, avoiding the curious gazes of villagers.Kaiza had seen countless places like this over the years. Simple, quiet, and untouched by the chaos of the wider world. Yet, no matter how far he traveled, peace eluded him. The curse of immortality ensured that he was always an outsider, a shadow passing through lives that would flicker and fade while he endured.He approached the market square, where merchants were packing up their wares for the day. A young boy darted past him, clutching a loaf of bread, and an angry baker gave chase, shou
Tides Of Eternity Episode 2: Shadows Beneath the Waves
The morning sun rose over the village of Inaba, casting golden light across the restless sea. Kaiza and Mina walked in silence along the winding coastal path, their footsteps muffled by the damp earth. Though Mina’s eyes were heavy with exhaustion, her resolve was evident. She clutched a small satchel Kaiza had given her, filled with provisions and a spare cloak.Kaiza glanced at her. “You should rest,” he said, his voice calm but firm.Mina shook her head. “I’m fine. We have to keep moving.”Kaiza nodded, impressed by her determination. Despite her youth, Mina had already endured more than most. He couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt for dragging her into his world of danger and uncertainty. But there was no turning back now.The trail led them to a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea. Kaiza paused, scanning the horizon. The waves were calm, but he knew better than to trust appearances.“What are we looking for?”Mina asked, breaking the silence.“Answers,” Kaiza replied. “The mermai
Tides Of Eternity Episode 3: The Hermit’s Revelation
The cave was dimly lit, the flickering glow of a small fire casting long shadows across the walls. Strange symbols were etched into the stone, their meanings lost to time. Kaiza and Mina followed the hermit deeper into the cavern, their footsteps echoing faintly.The hermit gestured for them to sit near the fire. He settled onto a rough-hewn stool, his sharp eyes fixed on Kaiza. “If you’ve come seeking answers about the Abyss, you must first understand its origins,” he began.Kaiza nodded. “We’re listening.”The hermit’s voice was low and steady, carrying the weight of centuries-old knowledge. “The Abyss is not a place but a force a fragment of chaos that predates the world as we know it. Long ago, it was sealed away by ancient guardians who feared its power. But pieces of it remain, scattered across the world, each capable of corrupting or empowering those who wield them.”Mina leaned forward, her curiosity overcoming her fear. “And the shard in the temple? What does it do?”The herm
Tides Of Eternity Episode 4: The Sanctuary’s Secrets
The forest’s oppressive canopy began to thin, allowing pale shafts of sunlight to pierce the gloom. Kaiza and Mina trudged onward, their bodies weary but their resolve unbroken. The encounter with the shadowy figure had left them shaken, but it also strengthened their determination to reach the sanctuary.“We’re close,” Kaiza said, consulting the hermit’s map. The parchment was marked with strange glyphs that seemed to glow faintly in the dim light. “The ruins should be just beyond this ridge.”Mina nodded, her eyes scanning their surroundings. Though the immediate danger had passed, the forest’s unnatural silence weighed heavily on her. Every snap of a twig or rustle of leaves set her on edge.As they crested the ridge, the sanctuary came into view. It was a sprawling complex of crumbling stone buildings, overgrown with vines and moss. At its center stood a towering spire, its peak shrouded in mist. The air here felt different thicker, charged with an almost electric energy.“This is

Chapter 108: The Devouring
Silence.Thick. Absolutely.Not even breath, not even motion, not even time: just a vacuum.Kaiza fell through it.Or maybe he stood still as the rest of the world went on.He couldn't tell.There was no ground, no sky, no up, no down only the suffocating embrace of nothingness collapsing around him like a coffin lined with whispers.Mina was gone.The last thing he heard her make wrenched from her throat, guttural and pained, as the gullet of darkness devoured her.He had reached for her. Clawed at the darkness.But his fingers had encountered only empty space.And then Nothing.Now he floundered in that nothingness, the remnants of his corpse aching, the wounds raw and open.Where the masked figure had touched him, his chest still smoldered, as if something had been clawed out of him or ripped from him, something that was inside him and had been a piece of him, something vital.Was he dead?No. That would have been a mercy.A movement in the void something shifted.A shake, gentler
Chapter 107: Unleashed
The void roared.Black flames licked at the ground, devouring the creatures of the abyss as embers at the end of life are sent out upon the wind.The wails of the damned rampaged ever and ever, ringing in the desolate void, as the horror of noumenon mixed and knotted, their forms rotting in the gluttonous conn.And at the heart of it, standing in the inferno, was Mina.But she was no longer only Mina.Kaiza could hardly stand, his body bruised and bleeding, but his breath caught when he saw her.The fragility of the girl he had vowed to protect was gone.The trembling voice that had called his name in the dark was gone.What was left is something older. Something raw.Her form was still human in outline mostly but the air around her hummed with something worse than abyssal corruption.An ultraviolet light burned behind her eyes, cosmic and blistering, crowded with something incomprehensible to my feeble flesh.Her dark hair lashed in the wind, the energy circling her limbs, a moving t
Chapter 106: Dark
Kaiza barely had time to respond before the form of the abyssal entity washed over him like a tidal wave of pure void.It felt as though an avalanche of darkness was going to consume him whole.The shadows wound tighter, binding themselves around his limbs like living chains, burrowing into his skin and burning with cold fire; his ribs screamed their protest.A cough tore from his throat, thick and wet. Blood trickled down his lips, red on infinite black.His vision swam, fading in and out of consciousness, but his fingers still tightened around his sword.He wasn’t done. Not yet.The figure towered above him, the mask cocked slightly as if in amusement.“Still fighting?” Its voice gliding along, the sound of a thousand voices crawling into his skull.“Pathetic. “Your void does not give, Kaiza. It does not bargain. It only devours.”With a flick of that wrist, a spire of obsidian-black tendrils burst from the ground to skewer Kaiza through the shoulder.He hardly had time to register
Chapter 105: The Eclipse of Hope
The void crackled in unnatural, eerie silence. It was a heavy weight, cold, suffocating in the air. The blue flame of Kaiza’s sword flickered in the stifling dark as his chest rose and fell with every ragged breath. It had been the blast from Mina that very titan that had devoured her that had slammed him down onto the broken earth, the impact leaving him aching from the force of the attack. A single thought raced through his mind.She’s still in there. She has to be.The darkness writhed around him, beating with an unstuck beat. He climbed onto his knees, fighting back the weight of the bottomless well. His gaze darted back to Mina no, no longer Mina but the monstrous, void-soaked shape she’d taken on. Her body shimmered with dark matter, her movements sickly smooth, as if she were a piece of the shadow itself.Her armor, once silvery, was now a collection of black and shadow, a jumbled mess of the power of the void. Her eyes were sick with ancient hunger, a lust for destruction, but
Chapter 104: The Fallen Star
The sky was torn asunder.Mina no, the titan now occupying her body stood in the distance like a dark star. Her once glowing golden armor tarnished a dark, devilish red, and her eyes glistened with a void-like hunger that devoured the very light around her. With each movement, every breath, it was as if she was remaking reality itself, with the void creeping up and crawling from within, claiming her for itself piece by piece.Kaiza stood, frozen, his heart breaking bit by bit. His breath labored; his hand shook on the hilt of his sword. He knew this wasn’t Mina anymore. His praise for the girl who had stood by him, he counseled, the girl that first had shown him the light, was lost. The girl he’d battled tooth and nail to protect was something else now something terrifying, something beyond his comprehension.And yet… her voice Titan’s voice, but still Mina’s still rang in his mind.“The girl is gone, forsaken one. Now, only I remain."Kaiza’s sword shimmered with a ghost of blue flam
