Recap of the Previous Chapter
In the cavern of chains, Lilith confronted the vow she had once spoken centuries ago—a vow that bound her not just in memory but in power. The hunter wielded those chains like weapons, trying to claim her again as his eternal bride. But with Kazuki's defiance breaking through the haze, Lilith chose differently. She revoked the vow, shattered the chains, and unleashed flames powerful enough to destroy the cavern itself.
The hunter retreated into shadow, his blade shattered, but his hunger burned brighter than ever. Though Lilith has declared her freedom, the echoes of her broken vow ripple outward, stirring forces that have waited too long for cracks in her armor.
Main Story
The cavern collapsed in waves of thunder and fire. Black flames licked across the ceiling, splitting stone, melting statues, filling the air with the scent of ash and iron. Chunks of rock rained down, statues toppled, and chains writhed like dying serpents before falling still.
