Tides Of Eternity Episode 69: The Unseen Hand
The night was heavy with tension. The stench of charred flesh and blood fills the air, a reminder of a war fought, of battles waged by Kaiza and Mina. The silence that had settled after the Order of the Hollow had confronted them the last time hadn’t been a relief either it had only foretold the arrival of something more horrible.Blade dripping red, Kaiza roared at the swath of death on the battlefield. His wounds throbbed, but the pain was secondary to the weight pressing down on his mind. Mina sat beside him, propped against a fallen pillar, her golden flames flickering weakly as fatigue began to overtake her.“We can’t live here,” Kaiza muttered. "More will come."Mina nodded, though her gaze was unfocused. Something was wrong.The silence was broken by a rustling sound.Kaiza’s instincts flared. He turned toward the void outside the ruins. The earth bucked, low rumbles, imperceptible at first, but slowly escalating. The darkness was snaking and morphing once more into something f
Tides Of Eternity Episode 70: Devourer of Light
An unseen energy crackled in the night air, a pressure that saturated the battlefield, like a thick fog. Mina's shrieks rang out in the rubble, primal and unending, the rot blossoming in her veins like a ravenous parasite.Kaiza knelt next to her, his fingers wrapping around her shaking shoulders, desperation clawing at his heart. Black tendrils throbbed beneath her skin, the void’s essence wriggling like it was attempting to devour her from the inside out.“Mina! Hold on!” Kaiza’s voice was hoarse, frantic.The fire inside her flickered and dimmed, her eyes fluttering wildly with fear. She struggled to breathe, her body bending and twisting as dark energy coursed through her. Her hands pressed at her chest, fingers curling like she was trying to tear the corruption out.“It’s in me,” she gasped. “Kaiza… it’s… eating me…”He clenched his jaw; rage and desperation warred within him. It wasn’t a mere wound it was something different and worse. Something beyond flesh and bone.A curse. A
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 71: The Hungers
An eerie and unnatural void of silence consumed the battlefield. Where Mina and the Amber entity had stood just moments before now lay an empty scar on reality, an echo of their abrupt disappearance. The rubble was silent, except for the slow, curling trails of black energy curling away and into the night. Kaiza was shaking, his arm outstretched at the space where Mina had just stood. A cold, merciless emptiness gnawed at his chest worse than any wound, more suffocating than any curse.Then the world twisted, suddenly, without warning.Some force an unseen hand of darkness seized him by the throat and pulled him forward. The battlefield faded to bars of black and red, his body pulled into the maw, consumed in full by the same thing that had come for Mina. It was a fall that had no end, an abyss that had no bottom. The weight of it pressed on his lungs, turning his thoughts to static. The shadows clawed at him, stripping away sensation, devouring everything except pain. That remained.
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 72: Devourer’s Wrath
Kaiza fell into the endless void from the abyss, which opened up and swallowed all light. His body contorted, shadows scratching at his limbs, drawing him deeper into the engulfing dark. His mind screamed at the void, and the only response came as whispers from the entity that had stolen Mina from him.“She is not yours to save any more.”Kaiza’s teeth ground together; his anger was a wildfire against the oppressive cold. He willed his limbs to move, grasping for something anything to stop his fall. But the void offered nothing. Only endless falling.Then, a presence.His senses intensified a moment before the collision. A crushing force blasted him from behind, sending him sideways. He spun in the air, just catching a glimpse of the figure flying at him—Mina.Or what had become of her.Flames of gold turned ashen between pulsing black veins. Her eyes, cavernous brooks of midnight, dug into him as she lunged, her fingers stretching into scythe-like talons. Kaiza barely rolled out of t
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 73: Devourer’s Wrath
The void throbbed like a living thing, the slime curling around Mina as though she were its chosen vessel. All that remained was the pitted hush world of loss, the great nugget of her golden light drawn away like a gummy pit, and the black water wave, rising within, crawling in her blood. Kaiza found himself lost for breath standing before her, seeing a girl he had vowed to protect turn into something far beyond him, far beyond redemption.A wave of energy raced out as she raised her hand. The air was a crackling haze, the ground shaking under them. Kaiza embedded his heels into the shattered soil, clutching his ruined sword. Exhaustion weighted him to the ground, yet he walked none lower.“Mina… I know you’re still in there,” he rasped, his voice nearly lost in the howling void.The thing that had taken her let out a breathy chuckle, its darkness winding around her lips when it spoke through her. “She belongs to me now.”Kaiza’s grip tightened. “Like hell she does.”He lunged forward
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 74: Devourer’s Judgment
Silence stretched over the battlefield, a blank in the fabric of reality, heavy with the weight of something invisible. Kaiza lurched forward, panting heavily, every limb screaming in objection. Only swirling shadows remained where Mina had stood mere moments before a wound in the very fabric of the world. The void had taken her. But he refused to accept it.Bearing his teeth, he gripped the hilt of his broken sword. Its pieces still glimmered faintly with the residue of his power, but it was nothing against the abyss. The presence that had claimed Mina as its own the entity that had become her new master was but a coruscating smudge of rags wrapped around a swirling, contradictory shape, its face a vortex of shapes and colors, the darkness made flesh.“She is out of your reach,” the creature said as its voice reverberated through the endless void. “And soon, you will be, too.”Kaiza balled her fingers into fists. He had lost too much already. He would not lose her.Then the darkness
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 75: Tyrant of the Abyss
A chill wind moaned through the ruins, and there was the smell of ash and blood on it. The battlefield was silent except for the crackle of the last dying embers. Kaiza rose to his feet, gasping as if he had just run a mile, limbs protesting in pain. He had battled for ages, known pain without number, but never had he been so close to being completely shattered.Mina was gone consumed by the void. And now, he stood alone.Or so he thought.A low, rasping chuckle rippled through the air, sending a chill crawling up his spine. Kaiza pivoted, muscles clenched, and there stood his next foe.The Abyssborn Tyrant.A figure so enormous, they were draped in shadows that spiraled and undulated like snakes. Its body is encased in spiked, obsidian armor, veins of spearhead dark energy rippling along its frame. Its face—if it could even be called a face was hidden beneath a thyrse of horned blackness, pair void-lit eyes staring into the innermost depths of Kaiza’s soul.“You suffer still, cursed
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 76: The Warlord of the Dead
The air stank of blood and rot, the battlefield shrouded in a fog that slithered between the ruins like a living thing. Kaiza took a deep breath, grasping the broken pieces of his blade tightly. Every muscle in his body screamed at him to give in, but there was no retreat.Not while Mina was still out there.A low growl rumbled across the desolation, the sound a growl rather than simple shifting stone. Kaiza turned sharply, the adrenaline having sharpened his senses as a dark figure appeared in the haze. Against its backdrop, the Colombian figure slipped forward with a dreadful grace, its presence thickened by an unnatural weight.Then it emerged into the dim light.A revenant, clad in the metal of a time long past, its visage hidden behind a weathered morion that silently crowned a face twisted by ancient tragedies. Its eyes black, empty voids dribbled trails of abyssal energy, strands of darkness slithering forth beneath its shredded cloak. It gripped a massive greatsword in its han

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
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
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
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
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
