The Battlefield of Ten Thousand Thrones — One Hour Into the Hunt
The plains were no longer earth.
They were corpses.
Mountains of Sovereign dead.
Dragons with split throats.
War priests silenced mid-ritual.
Skyborne shattered in midair.
And still, Kaelen moved.
No hesitation.
No fatigue.
No mercy.
Vorastra screamed as it carved.
Lumenheart burned holes through gods.
His War God Form blazed like a miniature sun —
a sovereign of slaughter wrapped in warlight.
The Ancients Unleash Their Secrets
They screamed to the sky.
Opened gates sealed since the First Era
Released time-bound beasts once caged by fallen gods
Activated legacy sigils meant to banish stars
The sky cracked.
Reality bled.
And Kaelen only laughed.
"Is that all?"
"You waited three years—
for this?"
He Spoke — and the World Listened
He stopped in the center of the carnage.
Smoke curling around his feet.
His enemies hesitated.
The Ancients flinched.
And Kaelen raised both blades.
Eyes burning.
Hair like a stormfire cape behind him.
"I run from no one."
"I stand above all."
"I am the creation of your constant attacks."
"I am your nightmares come to life."
And the world—
trembled.
POV: The Enemy Commanders
Varkelion the Redbound, Sovereign Dragon Lord
"He's not just fighting…"
"He's… enjoying this."
"That smile—
it's not human."
Velrissa Azur'Myrr, Queen of the Skyborne
"He's become the war.
He doesn't need allies.
He doesn't need formations.
He is a walking dominion."
Obsidian King Kaelshur
"Our mistake wasn't letting him rise…"
"It was thinking he would stop."
POV: Aria and the Family
Kaelen's family watched from the Citadel's scrying chamber,
his aura so vast it projected into every viewing crystal.
Aria's hands trembled.
"This isn't just battle.
This is judgment."
Elena clutched her husband's hand, both silent.
Seris wept.
Aerin knelt.
Auriana simply said:
"He's crossed the line they can't follow."
The Storm Unleashed
Kaelen began to move again—
faster now.
Every step left shockwaves.
Every slash collapsed formations.
He struck like a living calamity,
a god birthed in fury, joy, and betrayal.
"I don't fight to survive anymore."
"I fight to remind you—
what you created."

The Final Words of the Chapter
Kaelen stood atop the corpse of a five-headed dragon,
bathed in blood, eyes glowing like suns lost to time.
The world around him still churned.
The storm still raged.
But his voice was calm.
"Come then."
"All of you."
"Let me show you what your fear has forged."
