Chapter 735
If Caster used his golden magic to blast the door open, the explosion would be massive. It would alert the entire fortress. It would also drain the last bit of life he had in his heart."I cannot blast it open with magic," Caster whispered to himself.He stepped back. He looked at the massive, heavy iron hinges on the right side of the door. The hinges were the size of a man’s head. They held the incredible weight of the door in place.Caster reached into his deep pocket. He had lost his blue magic. He had hidden his golden magic. But he still had his brilliant mind, and he still had his dirty pockets.When Caster had survived the mob in the Gilded Rose, he had grabbed a few things from his broken alchemy table.He pulled his hand out of his pocket. He held three small, sharp, dark gray stones.They looked like ordinary rocks. But they were not. They were explosive alchemical shards. He had made them

"I cannot do that again," Caster whispered. His arms were shaking.He looked at the three bodies on the floor. He could not leave them out in the open. If another patrol walked by, they would see the bodies and sound the alarm.Caster looked around.In the dark wall near the iron gate, he saw a small, square metal door. It was a maintenance shaft. It was used by mechanics to fix the heavy pipes behind the walls.Caster grabbed the first heavy guard by the collar of his armor. He pulled.The body was incredibly heavy. Caster’s broken ribs screamed in agony. He gritted his teeth and dragged the man across the floor. He opened the small metal door and shoved the body into the dark shaft.He went back for the second guard. He dragged him over. He shoved him in.Finally, he dragged the third guard and pushed him inside.He closed the small metal door. He wiped the blood and sweat
Chapter 733
Caster could not blow the gate open with his golden magic. If he used the golden light, Elias Thorpe would sense the divine power instantly. Thorpe would know Caster was in the building. Caster needed the element of surprise. He had to stay hidden. "I have to use my hands," Caster whispered to himself. He pulled the hood of his red coat lower over his face. He made his shoulders slump. He tried to look like a tired, defeated engineer returning from a long day. He stepped around the corner. He walked slowly toward the checkpoint. His wooden stick hit the metal floor. The three heavily armed guards immediately raised their rifles. They pointed the glowing red barrels directly at Caster’s chest. "Halt!" the lead guard shouted. His voice was muffled by his thick iron helmet. "The fortress is on lockdown! Nobody moves without orders from Director Thorpe!"Caster did not speak. He kept his head down. He raised his shaking hand and held out the small metal identity badge. The guards ke

The massive iron gates of the Arcane Weapon Bureau stood wide open. Normally, a hundred elite shock troopers guarded this entrance. But today, the courtyard was completely empty. The soldiers had seen the magical broadcast in the sky. They had seen the truth about their cruel leader, Elias Thorpe. They had dropped their weapons and run away into the muddy plains. Caster Spellbound walked through the open gates. He wore the heavy, blood-red leather coat of a Crimson Alliance engineer. He pulled the wide hood deep over his head. His face was hidden in the dark shadows of the fabric. He leaned heavily on his broken wooden walking stick. Every step he took sent a sharp, stabbing pain through his broken ribs. His lungs burned. His muscles ached. He was an old, tired man. But his gray eyes were sharp and focused. He stepped through the giant main doors of the black iron fortress. He entered the belly of the beast. The inside of the Arcane Weapon Bureau was a nightmare. It was not a bea
Chapter 731
Standing in the middle of a barren, rocky valley was a massive fortress. It was the Arcane Weapon Bureau. It was even uglier than Fort Ironcliff. The fortress was made entirely of rough, jagged black iron. It looked like a giant, spiked crown sitting on the earth. Massive metal chimneys poured thick, sick red smoke into the clear blue sky. The air around the building hummed with a terrible, heavy vibration. This was Elias Thorpe’s headquarters. This was the factory where he built the red energy weapons. This was where he brought the harvested souls. And, according to the secret files Caster had read, this was where Inquisitor Graves had arranged to meet Thorpe. This was where Graves had taken Sikoa. Caster gripped his wooden stick tightly. He ignored the burning pain in his broken ribs. He walked up the long, rocky path toward the massive black iron gates of the fortress. Usually, the gates would be guarded by a hundred elite shock troopers. But today, the heavy iron gates were s
Chapter 730
A young Crimson soldier, barely nineteen years old, stared at the red glass tank on his gun. Before today, he had been told that the red energy was just highly concentrated blood magic drawn from the earth. He thought it was a miracle of science. But now, he knew the truth. He stared into the bubbling red liquid. Deep inside the glass, he saw the faint, ghostly shape of a human face. The face was twisting in eternal agony. He heard the faint, high-pitched, screaming sound coming from the glass. It was not the sound of magic. It was the sound of a living human soul burning in hell. The young soldier’s hands began to shake violently. He felt physically sick. "I am holding a person," the young boy whispered. Tears filled his eyes. "I am shooting people."He looked around. The other soldiers in the trench were doing the exact same thing. They were staring at their weapons in absolute horror. Grown men, hardened veterans with scars on their faces, were weeping openly. They realized t
