Chapter 111: Solaris
In another location, thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield where Malrik and Orvak had fought, Wuthenya could be seen dashing forward, her form crossing great distances in the blink of an eye as she exceeded Mach Seven through sheer physical speed.
The wind screamed, numerous times in fact, as she tore through the air like a silver comet. Her face was cold and unreadable. At this moment, she was overwhelmed with frustration.
She hadn’t been able to keep up with the battle between her brother and the Sinvaira. One moment, they had been in the forest. The next, the entire forest had been cleaved in half, and both combatants had vanished.
Now, she was heading toward the location where her brother had been fighting, though she didn’t know the precise place. Every Wargrave, however, was marked by a unique identifier, allowing them to track one another across vast distances, just like how Asher had been marked during the True Awakening.
Wuthenya’s thoughts swirled in a storm of uncertainty. Her mind was already preparing for the worst. Could her brother defeat such a being? She knew Malrik was immensely powerful, far beyond most. But could a man who was barely thirty years old truly overcome a monster that might have existed since ancient times?
Her heartbeat quickened. Lunar energy pulsed from her body, and silver rays bloomed into existence, bending light and distorting the air. She no longer cared about conserving her energy. With a detonating boom that shattered the sound barrier, she shot forward in a streak of silver light.
She wanted to call their father, Azeron, for help, but she knew Malrik wouldn’t approve. But just as she prepared herself for the worst, a voice echoed in her ears, smooth and teasing.
"Hey sis, what’s got you so worked up? Your eyes could freeze the entire Empire."
A man with windswept blue hair and piercing blue eyes appeared beside her in a blur of golden-orange light, effortlessly matching her speed through pure physical force.
It was Malrik.
Hearing his voice, Wuthenya’s speed immediately dropped. Her feet skidded to a thundering halt, causing a ripple of force to explode around her. Her lunar energy dissipated in an instant as her black eyes locked on her brother’s form.
She let out a long, relieved sigh.
