Chapter 643
Caster pulled his brown hood low over his face. He gripped his wooden walking stick. He walked casually toward the trucks, acting like a busy mechanic looking for tools. When he was ten feet away from the guards, Caster stopped. He reached down into the mud. He picked up a small, smooth stone. He looked at a truck parked right behind the guards. The truck was full of spare iron tires and heavy metal chains. Caster flicked his wrist. He threw the small stone as hard as he could. The stone flew through the air and hit the metal side of the truck. The sound was sharp and loud. "What was that?" one of the black-armored guards shouted. He raised his glowing purple rifle. "Check the truck!" the squad leader ordered. "It might be a Crimson spy!"All four guards turned their backs on the lead boxes. They ran toward the truck, pointing their guns into the shadows. It was a very old, very simple trick. But in the middle of a terrifying, noisy war, simple tricks worked perfectly. Caster
Chapter 642
The sky above the Rift Plains was a nightmare of torn colors. Half of the sky was a bruised, sick purple. The other half was a screaming, violent red. Down in the mud, the Glassview medical tent was a place of pure horror. It was a massive tent made of thick gray canvas, set up a mile behind the front lines. But the front lines were falling apart. The Crimson Alliance was pushing forward with their terrible red energy weapons. The walking mountain of iron, the Crimson Engine, fired its heavy cannons again and again. Inside the medical tent, there were no beds left. The ground was covered in wet, freezing mud. Hundreds of young Glassview soldiers lay in the dirt. They were bleeding. They were crying. They were begging for their mothers. Caster Spellbound walked through the mud. He carried a heavy wooden bucket of dirty water. He was supposed to be a simple mechanic named Cass. He wore a torn, dirty gray jacket. His face was covered in dark soot. He had tried to walk straight towar

"The dark ash," Sikoa realized. "Caster said the dark ash is pure entropy. It eats heat. It eats magic. It is freezing cold."Sikoa ran to the corner of the cave. She unlocked the heavy lead box. She pulled out three glowing, pulsing purple crystals. The sick, beautiful light cast strange shadows on her scarred face. She carried the freezing crystals back to the table. She set them down next to the red blueprints. "What are those?" Master Toris asked, shivering as the temperature in the cave dropped. "This is the poison that almost destroyed the world," Sikoa said grimly. "And we are going to feed it to the monster."She looked at the young woman with curly hair. "I need you to build me a bomb," Sikoa ordered. "I need you to take these purple crystals and put them inside a heavy iron casing. But I do not want them to explode outward."Sikoa placed her hands on the table and leaned forward. "I want the bomb to explode inward," Sikoa instructed. "When I throw this into the exhaust

Sikoa reached to her belt. She pulled out her sharpest, heaviest steel dagger. She raised the dagger high into the air. Sikoa drove the steel blade directly into the center of the wooden table. The blade buried itself deep into the wood. The loud noise shocked everyone. The screaming stopped. The running stopped. Thirty terrified mages turned to look at the muddy, angry woman with the eye-patch. "Nobody is packing any bags!" Sikoa roared. Her rough, harsh voice echoed off the cave walls like a cracking whip. "You cannot give us orders, thief!" an older man with a gray beard snapped. His name was Master Toris. He used to be a very important earth-mage. "We are scholars of the Guilds! You are just a street rat! The world is ending, and we are leaving!"Sikoa pulled her dagger out of the table. She pointed the sharp tip directly at Master Toris’s nose. "The world is ending because cowards like you run away!" Sikoa shouted. She stepped toward the old man. She did not look like a stre
Chapter 639
The world was tearing itself apart, but inside the deep cave, the only sound was the quiet dripping of water. The cave was hidden far beneath the northern mountains. It was a secret place. Archmage Lysane had brought the surviving children here to keep them safe. But it was not just a hiding spot for children anymore. It had become a rebel base. Dozens of mages had escaped the burning capital city of Glassview. When the angry mobs and the Twin Moons soldiers burned their magical guilds, these mages ran into the wild lands. They found Lysane’s cave. Now, the dark, damp rock walls were lined with wooden tables, glowing blue lanterns, and stacks of stolen books. This was the new Research Wing of the resistance. In the quietest corner of the cave, laying on a simple wooden cot, was Solon. He was the tall, thin archivist who loved books. He was the brave spy who had stolen the blueprints from the Crimson Alliance. Caster Spellbound thought Solon was dead. When Solon closed his eyes i
Chapter 638
Elias knelt in the mud. He looked at Caster’s outstretched hand. He looked at the clean, pale skin. He looked at the calm, pitying expression on Caster’s face. Elias did not see kindness. He saw supreme arrogance. He saw a man who thought he was better, smarter, and holier than him. Elias’s body trembled. Not from the cold rain, but from a rage so pure and so hot it could have melted the stone bridge. Elias raised his own hand. SMACK. Elias slapped Caster’s hand violently away. "Do not touch me," Elias hissed. His voice was a venomous snake. Elias slowly pushed himself up from the mud. He swayed slightly on his feet, but he forced his back to straighten. He looked Caster straight in the face. The single green eye shining from the bloody bandages was completely devoid of humanity. It was a black hole of pride and hatred. The wind howled around them, blowing Elias’s dark coat like a pair of broken wings. "You think you won because you follow the rules," Elias whispered. His voi
