BXBX NOVEL Chapter 127: An anomaly
Despite their isolation, news of their formidable skills as warriors spread far and wide, attracting both admiration and fear from neighbouring tribes.
As the atrocities of the men were increasing countless innocent lives were lost.
That\'s when Aphrovana rose to power and started rescuing women who were held captive. she traveled to different regions, infiltrating the strongholds of the men responsible for these atrocities. With her strategic brilliance and unmatched combat skills, she liberated countless women and ensured their safe return to their families.
Her relentless pursuit of justice struck fear into the hearts of those who dared to harm innocent lives, ultimately bringing an end to the reign of terror inflicted by these men.
She was both a skilled warrior and a powerful witch.
And that\'s when Lucarious met her and fell in love with her at first sight. She was an unparalleled beauty with a captivating aura that drew everyone towards her.
Then he proposed to her for marriage and promised that he would do his best to support her.
Lucarius admired Aphrovana\'s strength and determination, recognizing that she possessed a power that transcended gender stereotypes. He saw her as an equal partner and vowed to stand by her side in their shared mission to empower women and challenge societal norms.
Their union marked a significant turning point in history. Lucarius was so enamoured by her bravery and devotion that he constructed this place as a symbol of his love.
Eradarin then said, "When she passed away, he laid her to rest here, and upon his own death, he too chose to be buried by her side."
He continued looking at all three of them and said, "This much is known to all. But only a select few are privy to the secret that Lucius, in his final days, placed beneath his wife\'s tomb the treasures he had amassed during his lifetime—gold artefacts, exotic relics, and more.
His own family remained ignorant of this hidden cache for decades until a loyal servant of Lucius revealed the truth on his deathbed to his descendants."
Eradarin\'s gaze shifted to the heart of the ruins, where a spatial rift and traces of chaotic magic had drawn their attention. His voice grew earnest as he revealed their true purpose. "Our quest was initially to locate Lucius\'s final resting place. However, the discovery of this spatial rift and the chaos arts associated with the girl Augusta led us here.
I\'m certain it\'s her—the only one with absolute control over these unimaginable arts."
Amidst the crumbling stone ruins, Angelina took cautious steps forward, her eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of the spatial rifts she sought to investigate.
Raindrops fell heavily around her, making the air smell earthy and fresh, but as she ventured deeper into the ruins, an eerie stillness began to envelop her.
The familiar sounds of the forest, the soft patter of rain and the distant chirping of birds ceased to exist within the boundary of this peculiar disturbance. The atmosphere grew dense with an unfamiliar energy that tingled her senses.
Angelina, ever astute, felt compelled to explore further. She concentrated her magical essence, gathering its power within her, and channelled it toward the rifts she detected.
A brilliant golden light emanated from her being, enveloping the entire area in its radiant embrace.
Eradarin was quick to act, and in the blink of an eye, Angelina, along with the duo, was transported away from the ruins, leaving behind an empty and silent space. It seemed like time stopped for a moment, halting the raindrops in midair.
Eradarin, who had guided them to a safe distance from the ruins, watched as the once-crumbling structure was now bathed in a mesmerizing golden glow. As the light slowly waned, raindrops resumed their gentle descent upon the ancient stones.
Krrgrrrr!!
Their attention was abruptly diverted by a thunderous roar echoing from the heart of the ruins.
A colossal creature emerged, leaping out with astonishing agility. It had two massive legs firmly planted on the ground, while its lengthy, skeletal arms stretched out from its sinewy body. Rows of needle-like teeth adorned its elongated mouth, and its nightmarish, bone-covered skin seemed to writhe with terror. With a grace that belied its horrifying appearance, it landed in the forest.
The group, their eyes wide with shock, had never before encountered such a grotesque and malevolent creature.
Eradarin, however, recognized the abomination and uttered, "Hauntsnare!" The moment the creature set foot outside the ruins, it unleashed an ear-splitting scream, shaking the very foundations of the surrounding forest.
Without hesitation, Eradarin and the others sprang into action, advancing toward the nightmarish monstrosity, ready to confront the unexpected terror before them.

In the heart of the city where Jaegar currently resided, an eerie transformation was underway. The once-clear skies darkened as thick, ominous clouds gathered and rumbled with latent power. A palpable tension hung in the air, casting a shadow over the urban landscape.
Inside an abandoned building concealed among the labyrinthine alleys, a group of individuals in pristine white coats were gathered around a cluster of monitors. The monitors displayed a series of data readouts, charts, and graphs that were increasingly defying conventional understanding.
As the first peal of thunder reverberated through the heavens, the monitors registered a startling anomaly.
The woman, known only as Professor Elara, stood at the helm of the group, her expression a mix of fascination and apprehension. She adjusted her glasses and gazed intently at the monitor, where the anomalous readings continued to escalate.
Beside her, Dr. Weston, a bespectacled scientist with a perpetually nervous manner, wrung his hands in agitation. "This... this is unprecedented, Professor Elara," he stammered. "We\'ve never encountered such energy fluctuations. It\'s as if the very fabric of reality is being torn asunder."
Professor Elara\'s eyes remained fixed on the monitor.

Jaegar\'s instincts tingled as he walked in the bustling streets, his gaze drawn upward to the ominous gathering of storm clouds. The dark clouds that gathered over the city roared with loud thunder, making everyone startle.
He suddenly felt a magical wave of energy. He felt familiar with the energy that was appearing out of nowhere.
Driven by an irresistible urge, Jaegar followed the trail of energy, his steps quickening as he navigated the narrow alleyways and winding streets of the city. The city\'s usual cacophony faded into the background as he honed in on the source of the disturbance.

Amid the eerie silence of the Graverane Forest, the monstrous creature descended with a bone-chilling grace. Its grotesque, elongated form towered above the group, casting a nightmarish shadow across the ruined landscape.
The forest itself seemed to hold its breath in fearful anticipation.
Eradarin, the venerable great sage, was the first to react, his eyes narrowing with a focused determination. He knew that this monstrous abomination had to be stopped, for it was no ordinary threat to the plane. His knowledge of arcane magic would be pivotal in the battle to come.
With the staff in his hand, Eradarin summoned the elemental power of the forest itself. Vines and roots erupted from the ground, snaring the creature\'s skeletal limbs and momentarily halting its advance.
The creature let out an ear-piercing screech of frustration, its long, bony fingers clawing at the encroaching foliage.
Bruna, the werewolf, was swift to exploit the creature\'s momentary vulnerability. Her lupine instincts kicked in as she lunged forward with preternatural speed. Her fangs bared, and she sunk them into the creature\'s sinewy arm, attempting to incapacitate one of its limbs.
The creature roared in agony, its cries echoing through the forest.
Angelina, the seasoned witch, remained a few paces behind the fray, her eyes glowing with arcane power. She began to weave a complex spell, drawing upon the residual energy of the spatial rifts she had investigated earlier. Her magic coalesced into an ethereal bow, its translucent string shimmering with otherworldly energy.
Not far from her, Ironshade, a hulking figure with a wide-bladed sword, stood ready. The massive weapon gleamed in the dappled light of the forest as he gripped its hilt with both hands. His eyes, hidden beneath the shadow of his hood, were locked onto the creature.
The vines and roots ensnaring the creature began to tighten, eliciting more agonized wails.
Eradarin continued his incantations, channelling the power of the forest to strengthen their hold. Bruna, her snarls reverberating through the clearing, tugged at the creature\'s arm, causing it to screech in pain.
