Chapter 75
They rose from the dark like forgotten memories.
Three guardians of Nightfell.
Each shaped from the shadow of a fallen god—vessels, broken yet dangerous. One crawled with too many arms, stitched from bone and rope. Another hovered, its form liquid, eyes drifting like stars in a dying galaxy. The third stood tall and silent, its flesh a curtain of muttering mouths.
Kiro didn't wait.
He launched forward.

He carved a path through the first creature—dodging its bone-chained flails and slashing upward. Blood-thread laced his strike, and with a howl, the guardian shattered into salt and ash.
The second came from behind—phasing in and out of solidity. Kiro reached deep, forcing the System to channel more than it wanted to.
His veins lit up. His eyes burned red.
"Pierce it—hold!"
He punched forward. Blood condensed into a single filament—sharp, vibrating. It passed through the creature's core.
