Instinctively, he took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He summoned his system interface. A translucent screen flickered to life before his eyes, peeling back the layers of energy in the surrounding area, scanning them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—This wasn't just any Inversion Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He braced himself, ready for a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Kaelira moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shivered, just slightly, as if something ancient had brushed against her soul. Then, slowly, she began to walk forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kaelira?\" Ethan's brow furrowed. A sharp edge of unease cut through his gut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of pink light exploded around her, radiant and dangerous, like a halo made of thorns. It clashed with the icy blue-violet magma beneath her feet, creating a swirl of colors that shouldn't exist together. The magma churned, as if it recognized her voice—no, her presence—and began to gather toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Kaelira's eyes gleamed with something wild. Obsession. Awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She whispered, \"I've finally found it… the true source of Sol'Rakka. Do you understand, Ethan? This magma—it's the power everyone dreams of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy in the magma—it reeked of corruption. Cold, invasive, wrong. The exact opposite of Kaelira's pink aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then the system's scan results hit him like a punch to the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buried deep within that dark, twisted energy… was a massive reservoir of pure pink power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Identical to Kaelira's own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder she could sense it…\" he muttered, a flicker of excitement rising in his chest despite himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelira didn't stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her arms, as if embracing the entire world, and unleashed her power. Pink light poured from her palms, reaching into the depths of the magma—and the magma answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Sssshhhrrrk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pink energy, sealed beneath layers of corrupted force, began to thaw. It surged upward, racing along the energy veins, flooding into Kaelira's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan watched as glowing runes lit up across her skin, one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Tier—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Climbing fast from early 25Tier, racing toward the mid-tier threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is insane…\" Ethan murmured, taking a step closer, hand half-raised, drawn to the raw, luminous power radiating from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire domain shuddered like a gong struck by a god. The tremor shot up from the magma floor to the cavern's ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep fissure split open in the center of the magma field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from it, something rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a creature. Not really.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a grotesque amalgam—dried bones, rotting flesh, and black mist barely holding it together. Its eye sockets burned with a violet light that stabbed straight into the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It roared, voice cracked and furious: \"DIE! ALL OF YOU—DIE!! THAT IS… MY POWER!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sweep of its hand, the entire magma field convulsed. The liquid rock surged into a towering wave, exploding outward in a spiral of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelira's eyes snapped open. Her face had gone pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was at the critical point of her Tier ascension—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she stopped now, it wouldn't just fail. Her entire power foundation could collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it—I can't move! If I stop now, I'll—!\" she cried out, panic breaking through her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan was already in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't let her finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure stood like a pillar of stone, unshakable, shielding her from the surge of corrupted energy. Golden power erupted from within him, wild and blinding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep going, Your Majesty,\" he said, glancing back at Kaelira with a calm, lopsided smile. \"This one's mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound hit like a warhammer slamming into the heart of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's power exploded outward in a golden storm, engulfing the twisted figure rising from the blue-violet magma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature clearly hadn't expected anyone to charge it head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hesitated—just for a breath—then thrust out a hand. A tide of black-violet energy surged from its palm, boiling the magma around it into thick, sloshing waves of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan didn't budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his right hand, condensing his power into a sphere of light—like a star plucked from the sky—and hurled it forward with the force of thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the light touched the creature, it vanished. Swallowed into nothing, like it had never existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse, a violet halo flared around the puppet's body, radiating a pressure so intense it clawed at the mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's chest tightened. A second later, he was hurled backward like a ragdoll, slamming into the stone wall with a bone-snapping crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit… this thing hits like a goddamn mountain,\" he muttered, coughing, already pushing himself out of the rubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now wasn't the time to fall back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelira was still mid-ascension. If he could destroy this puppet—this vessel of Vaedoroth—Sol'Rakka's allegiance would be theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that meant Emerald Castle's power would skyrocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan charged again, golden energy clashing head-on with the violet storm. The air between them cracked and screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing wasn't alive. It was a puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No thoughts. No emotions. Just an endless flood of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it,\" Ethan muttered, eyes narrowing. That kind of strength wasn't natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled up the system scan. The interface flickered—and his breath caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Dragon energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not any kind he'd seen before. The color, the structure—it was warped, unfamiliar. Alien.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No more hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his devour ability, pulling the violet energy into himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And deep inside him, Idra stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her presence surged up from his soul like a tide, hungry and electric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice trembled with awe and excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This dragon energy… it can evolve my body! It's a higher-tier source!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's pulse spiked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was it. A chance he couldn't afford to miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unleashed everything, devouring the power like a storm swallowing lightning. Inside him, Idra grew—visibly, tangibly—her presence sharpening with every pulse of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The puppet sensed the shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It suddenly plunged a hand into its own chest and ripped out a crystal core the size of a clenched fist—glowing violet, veins of energy writhing across its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it hurled it skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core cracked, energy thrashing inside like a beast about to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it detonated, the entire cavern would be reduced to dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden streak tore through the air—he was there in an instant, hand closing around the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its power tore at his arm, trying to shred him from the inside out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled it into himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Idra let out a sharp, crystalline cry—like a hatchling dragon breaking through its shell. With every surge of energy, her form solidified, her presence deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's power spiked—violently. The air around him rippled, warped, trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WUMMM—WUMMM—WUMMM—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy reverberated through the entire domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her place above, Kaelira glanced over, heart clenched tight—but once again, Ethan's sheer defiance of the impossible left her stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This man…\" she whispered, \"he doesn't even seem human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1157,"2026-06-05T15:15:48.983Z",1,"novelbin.me","0b4f474a642102a4537702e049d710c1e4b5f4a6aadf8199228c16c76ee68209","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-769","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-767",1138,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmystic-calling-stone-of-glory-cover.jpg"]
