Chapter 1082 – Kingdom of Obsession [Part 4]
Kaelmor moved.
The earth spears screamed toward him, jagged and golden with Runa's fury, but he slipped through them like smoke wearing a demon's smile. One spear grazed his shoulder. Blood sprayed black across the dawn light. He did not stop.
Runa slammed both palms down.
The ground exploded.
Stone pillars burst upward, trying to crush him between them, but Kaelmor shattered one with his bare fist, flames crawling over his knuckles. Dust and sparks swallowed the field.
Then the earth beneath Runa's boots hardened.
Her eyes widened.
She tried to step back.
Could not.
Stone crawled over her feet like hungry hands.
"No!"
Her mana roared. The first binding cracked apart. Another rose. She blasted it away. A third coiled around her ankles.
Kaelmor walked toward her through blood, dust, and dawn, beautiful, ruined, monstrous.
"If I cannot have your heart," he whispered, "then I will keep your defiance."
