Recap of the Previous Chapter
Lilith shattered the ancient vows that had bound her for centuries, breaking free from the glowing chains that had held her wrists and soul alike. Kazuki, bleeding and exhausted, fought alongside her, refusing to let the hunter reclaim her. The ex-husband lingered in the shadows, weaving chaos, amused by the unraveling of centuries-old oaths. The temple itself trembled under the shockwaves of broken vows, fire, and chain, leaving the battlefield unstable and dangerous.
Main Story

Lilith staggered, blood trickling down her wrists, her fire flickering with exhaustion. Yet, she stood, trembling but defiant, her gaze locked on the hunter who advanced like a storm incarnate.
