Chapter 64: The Logic of Monsters
My name is Isabelle Vhagar.
My world has been simplified to a single, brutal truth: there is the mission, and there is everything else.
We have been advancing for six hours.
The command from our Lord was simple: CONQUER.
We have carved a bloody path through two of Queen Alyssa’s sectors, leaving a trail of shattered crystal and silenced defenders.
Her forces are scattered, her command structure in chaos, just as he predicted.
Now, we stand before the final bastion of this sector.
It is a vast, cathedral-like cavern, the walls lined with colossal, glowing crystals that pulse with a soft, holy light.
It is beautiful. It is also a kill box.
At the center of the cavern, on a raised dais, is the sector’s True Core, a sphere of pure, uncut diamond humming with power.
Guarding it are the last of this sector’s commanders.
