Tides Of Eternity Chapter 97: The Immortal Curse
The air was heavy, thick with a crushing silence that weighed on Kaiza's chest. His sword shone in the faint light as he gazed up at the shadow above them an old darkness that even the mermaid, who fed on blood, dared not approach. The earth shook beneath his feet, and he felt it deep within his bones. Something was approaching, something worse than any foe he had ever known.Mina, her balance faltering, clung close behind him. Her breathing was ragged, and her white face smeared with blood, but she did not stumble. Not now. Kaiza's heart went out to her too many times he had failed her, but this. This was different. He could sense it in the depths of his bones.The mermaid spat, her body shifting in and out of existence like a shadow of the sea itself. Her eyes burned like hot coals, full of anger and hunger. But now, there was a glimmer of doubt in her hunting gaze. She wasn't alone.From the depths, something much older moved.The earth underfoot split apart with a deafening crash.
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 98: The Bleeding
Reality itself seemed to shatter around Kaiza, as if time had been bent into an undesirable curve. Pressure filled the air, the load of destiny bearing down upon him like a massive anvil. His throat constricted, the creature's claw clamping harder as his sight faltered and the world tipped away. Darkness closed in.His body would not respond. His sword was left lying on the ground, forgotten and useless, its edge dulled by the fight against the mermaid. The air reeked of death the bodies of the battlefield where his comrades had died and the mermaid had been killed. But now Kaiza understood; the war was not yet done. It was only just starting.You can't escape your fate," the ancient beast spat, its empty eyes shining with an awful hunger. Its bony fingers closed harder, shutting Kaiza's breath off altogether.Kaiza struggled, his hands shaking as they tried to find any grip. He wasn't ready to die not this way, not in the grasp of this monstrosity. His mind flashed to Mina. She had a
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 99: The Curse Unraveled
Kaiza's body shook, his breathing harsh as the world around him whirled. His eyes were a blur of red and black, the metallic taste of iron heavy in his mouth. The mermaid's claws had just brushed against his throat, the sharp tips missing his jugular by mere millimeters. He could feel the impact of the attack, the suffocating pressure of her strength, but there was no time to respond. Everything ached.The world was closing in.He could hear Mina's far-off voice, drowned out by the pounding of blood in his ears. Her name was the last thing on his lips as he struggled to fight through the fog of pain that filled his head. He couldn't let her go through this by herself. Not after all they had been through. She had already endured too much."No…" he breathed, his hand straining towards the hilt of his sword. But his fingers would not move.The mermaid spat, her awful smile twisting wide across her deformed face. She was looming over him now, her hair whipping like snakes in the wind, her
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 100: The Earth Shake
Kaiza's heart pounded in his chest, the burden of war crushing him beneath its weight like an unrelenting tempest. His body protested, the sheer number of wounds and centuries of eternal life holding it down. But he couldn't stop. He couldn't allow the darkness to triumph. Not with Mina's life hanging in the balance.The mermaid's deformed shape towered before him, her scales shining with the pale glow of the moon. Her eyes blazed with an unnatural thirst, as if she could already savor the fear and agony in his blood. Her claws were smeared with blood his blood. She'd already hurt him, had already breached his walls, but he wasn't done yet. He wouldn't be.Behind her, the hellish shadow from the depths arose a monster so immense and powerful that the sea itself seemed to shake. The beast's wide-open maw ripped the air asunder with an unearthly roar, its bared teeth glinting like knives as it pulled itself along, sliding over the battlefield like a serpent of nightmares. Its mere prese
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 101: Into the Blaze
The universe around Kaiza paused as the beast charged towards Mina. His blood froze, his immortal heart racing in his chest. Time became like a tight wire, each second crawling on forever in an eternal torment. He could see the beast's jaws, open and full of serrated teeth, coming down upon Mina's delicate form.No!" Kaiza's cry ripped from his throat, his voice raw and desperate, but his body would not obey. His limbs, too leaden with fatigue, lay useless. His breath came in great, gulping gasps as he stood frozen, helpless, while the horrific maw closed in on its victim.But then, during the mayhem, something changed. A flash of light a blast so intense it appeared to scorch the very fabric of existence itself. The beast halted. Its enormous head recoiled like it was pounded by an unseen fist, and for the split second, Kaiza dared hope it would turn back. But he realized all too soon it was merely a fleeting pause, a flickering hesitation in its ravenous hunger.The creature growled
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 102: Wrath
With that explosion of light came a deep silence.What appeared to be smoke writhed in the air, an echo of something unseen gliding through the ruin of war.The creature’s mangled body had fallen upon the broken ground, its once-faithful frame twisted and thrashing. But for Kaiza, there would be no time to celebrate.His sight was grainy, his wounds infinite, and Mina’s drooping body yet unyielding on the spiked pavement.Blood ran down his fingers.He breathed in fits and starts. Move. Get to her.His brain was telling him to deck the guy, but his body couldn’t do it.He lurched ahead, his sword trailing in the dirt. “Mina…”A weak cough. She was alive.He felt relief, then a tangle of dread in his chest. At her side, he collapsed, hands trembling as he rolled her over.A sharp gasp slipped between her lips as her blood-soaked fingers dug into his arm.Her eyes fluttered open and glowed with an unnatural light not her own.But something else had stirred within her.The earth shook be
Tides Of Eternity Descent into Oblivion
Kaiza fell into infinite blackness, his body suspended, without weight but pulled by an invisible chain.His fingertips brushed up to Mina, her body twisting just out of grasp and engulfed in the void.Her shadow or was it something else by now? swarmed around her, writhing and twisting like a sentient being, appendages flickering between real and nightmare.The void curled around them, swallowing all light, all sound except for one thing.Myrmidia’s laughter.It wormed its way through the void, sounding from nowhere yet vibrating in Kaiza’s bones.He set his jaw and urged his bruised limbs to move. He had to reach her.“Mina!” His voice hardly reached in the smothering void.Mina’s body convulsed midair.The innocence in her eyes, once soft, was now death, the kind defined as a specter of some kind thought to only reside in books.The dark had taken her, sunk under her skin, curled into arteries of black flame.She had reached out for Kaiza, or maybe for something that wasn’t even th
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 103: Awakening The Titan
The void trembled.Kaiza held Mina closer as the abyss rumbled, deep and relentless.The swirling shadows receded, revealing something vast, something old.The air itself felt heavy now, the debilitating force settling into his bones.A form began emerging titanic, monstrous, eternal.Before them loomed a titan of the void: its form a monument of pure darkness, it slaughtered the very fabric of reality. Sentient, malevolent, and endless, two cracking void eyes looked down on them.A deep, guttural voice reverberated into the nothingness.“You have upset the balance, forsaken ones. The girl belongs to me."Kaiza stood before Mina, sword wreathed in blue fire of defiance. His muscles tensed.He could sense the pressure of those primordial eyes weighing upon him, testing him like an insect prior to the mandate of destruction.Mina twitched in his arms, her silver light stuttering. "Kaiza… run.""Not happening." He never took his eyes off Titan. “And if it wants you, it’s going through me

Chapter 149: The End of the Rewrite
The stars had come back.But peace, Kaiza understood, was not always quiet. It was a tension—the quiet after a storm, the stillness after a scream, full of everything left unspoken.He stood at the boundary of memory.Though his body had been erased from the world, his mind was still anchored, resonating like an old melody in the Archive Between Worlds, the place where stories were never spoken, where truths too hazardous to be remembered were kept.And in its changing halls of golden filaments and ash-hued stone, Kaiza roamed. Not lost. Not captive. But seeking.For the past had not yet released him.Mount Umbra. Years before the end.The Shadowborne children were taught to never flinch.Kaiza recalled the sting of snow searing across his naked toes at initiation. A knife in his fist. A mask upon his eyes. His father's voice, ice as black stone:"Loyalty is not love. It is law."They grew up in silence, taught to dominate a dozen kills before their thirteenth name-day. Feelings were v
Chapter 148:The War of Existence
The sky was torn apart.Not like an explosion.Not like thunder.But like the very fabric of sound itself, it ripped asunder.Kaiza didn't even have the moment to blink before the entity shifted.Not with power.Not with speed.But with absolute, mindless inevitability.It didn't attack in the sense that an enemy would.It redefined the battlefield.In one instantKaiza was standing on solid earth.He was tumbling into a chasm of shattered timelines, each one splintering away like delicate glass.His golden flames flickered, fighting against the force pulling him down.He froze.Not because he caught himself.Not because he landed.Because the entity demanded it.Kaiza growled."You think you can control me?"The entity's voice surrounded him."I already do."And thenThe world crumbled.Kaiza balled his fists as the rules of reality warped around him.The entity's golden-black fire engulfed everything.Shredding the battlefield, reforming it in real-time.The sky turned into an ocean
Chapter 147: The Collapse of Reality
The sky tore apart.Not like lightning.Not like a storm.Like glass breaking.The Hollow City shattered, shattering into a thousand reflective shards, each one revealing a different possibility.Some revealed Kaiza triumphant, golden flames in his grasp, the entity dissolving to dust.Others revealed Kaiza was gone, nothing but a memory of what had been.But the worst onesThe ones that made his chest constrictRevealed the world lost.Not destroyed.Never having been at all.The thing moved first.One moment, it stood before him.Next, it was all around him.A dozen forms of itself blurred in and out of existence, attacking from various directions simultaneously.Each sword is pointing for Kaiza's heart.But Kaiza didn't even blink.He didn't need to react.Because nowHe knew the game."You don't get to decide anymore."Kaiza reached out with his will, his mind, his very soul.And reality listened.In an instantEvery version of the entity vanished.Not because Kaiza dodged.Not bec
Chapter 146: The War of Unmaking
The world ended.Not in flames.Not in ruin.In nothingness.The streets of the Hollow City disappeared.The sky overhead ceased to exist.The air itself wavering, as if a memory attempting to remember its own presence.Kaiza alone in the center of it all a solitary figure against an adversary that was not meant to exist.His golden eyes ablaze.But for the first time everHe wasn't certain if he existed anymore.The figure in front of him his distorted reflection grinned."You're beginning to comprehend, aren't you?"Kaiza clutched his sword tighter."I comprehend that you speak too damn much."The figure chuckled."Like a man who doesn't know he's already lost."And thenIt moved.Kaiza had barely enough time to respond.The instant the entity charged, the very fabric of reality unraveled.Not with force.Not with power.With certainty.Wherever the entity stepped, the world no longer was.The Hollow City disappeared in patches, chunks of buildings, strips of sky—all vanishing in a
Chapter 145: A King Without a Throne
For the first time in five centuries, the Hollow City was silent.No screaming.No war.No whispering darkness hiding in the cracks of reality.Kaiza stood in the middle of it all free.The Abyss was gone.Not locked away.Not hiding in the shadows.Gone.He had done the impossible.He had rejected it.Not by fighting it.Not by dominating it.But by letting go.And yet something did not feel right.Kaiza let out a sharp breath, rolling his shoulders.His body felt lighter.As if he had lost something he had carried around for so long that he didn't even know what it felt like to not have it.The Abyss had been integrated into his very being.And now, without it…Who was he?Kaiza tightened his fists."Is this what freedom is meant to feel like?"Because it didn't feel good.It felt empty.Like he had been opened up and something had been torn out.Something that, terrible as it was, had at least been a part of him.Kaiza's golden eyes blazed, but there was no abyssal fire burning in
Chapter 144: When Titans Collide
A howl of unleashed darkness erupted from under the Hollow City.The earth cleaved open, a torn edge slashing through stone, spewing out coils of abyssal flame into the air.And out of that tear something stirs.Something immense.Something ancient.Kaiza stood upon the ruined battlefield, his gold eyes fixed on the churning whirlpool of darkness that had burst forth from his own blow.He'd done it.He'd awakened the Abyss.And now he had to make it through."Every last one of you, move!" Kaiza bellowed.But it was already too late.A brutal shockwave erupted outward, shattering the Hollow City and leveling buildings to rubble.The air itself cracked, reality fighting to maintain its shape as the Abyss awakened from its deep sleep.The sky contorted, folding in upon itself, and Kaiza could sense it.The Abyss was hungry.And it had waited too long.The First Hunger awakened.The impossibly huge hand, black and smeared with shifting constellations of void, faltered for the first time.
Chapter 145: The Choice That Ends a Kingdom
Kaiza's breathing came sharp and jagged.His fingers were constricted around the wrist of his other self, the King of the Hollow City.The battle's weight still resonated in his bones, his muscles crying out from the fight, which had transcended time itself.And yet he did not attack.The king sneered, golden eyes flashing with dark pleasure."What's wrong?""This is what you wanted, isn't it?"Kaiza's hold grew tighter.He could finish it now.A single strike. A single cut.Erase this alternate version of himself.Reclaim the Hollow City as his own.But the longer he stared into his own twisted reflection, the clearer it became.This wasn’t just about a throne.This was about who he would become."Damn it."His golden eyes flashed."I’m not you."And that was the moment he made his choice.A King Must FallKaiza let go.The king swayed a little, his sneer failing for the first time."What?"Kaiza took a step back, sheathing his sword."I don't need to kill you to win."The throne room
Chapter 144: The War of Kings
Kaiza stumbled forward, his breathing labored, his heart pounding in his ears.The Hollow City lay before him, but it was not the same Hollow City he remembered.It was unmarred by war.The towers rose high, spires reaching into a moonlit sky that should not be.The streets were spotless, thronged with moving people walking, speaking, and living.For an instant, Kaiza couldn't catch his breath.This was impossible.It had never been true.It had never been anything more than a dream."And yet here I am."A weight, heavy as lead, dropped into his chest.He had rewritten destiny.The Abyss had never swallowed this city.The Hunters had never been forgotten.And he had never turned into a monster.Kaiza let out a harsh breath, raking a hand through his dark, sweat-matted hair."So what the hell do we do now?"The Harbinger's Warning"Kaiza."The voice was low, even.He turned to glance at the Harbinger, who stood a few steps behind him, silver eyes acute, expressionless.He hadn't budged
Chapter 143: A War Against the Unwritten
The darkness engulfed Kaiza entirely.In one instant, he stood before his previous self, the Hollow City intact, reality itself refusing to believe that history had been altered.The next.He was plummeting.Not bodily.Not through air, or chronology, or even the Abyss.But through something deeper.Something older.Something that should not exist.Something that had waited.And at its center something watched.Kaiza's body struck solid earth, but it felt nothing like the real world.The sky, or what passed for a sky, was a chasm of writhing shapes and wisps.The air tasted too thick, weighing upon him like a thousand invisible fingers.He pushed himself up, his golden eyes furrowing as he turned.And then.He saw it.The figure.It stood where his former self had once stood, regarding him with a look that belonged to no living thing.Kaiza had battled gods.He had fought the Abyss.He had witnessed things without a name.But this.This thing was wrong.Not as the Abyss was.Not as the
