🌌 Chapter 37: Fractura Opens

Location: The eastern border of Aerthalia, on the high plains once protected by ancient magical seals.Time: Dawn—but the sun is hidden. The sky looks like shattered glass.

🌌 The Rift Opens
A sound like the whispers of a thousand souls echoes in the sky.
A massive rupture tears open in midair, yawning like a wound in reality. From within, distorted dark entities begin to emerge. Some are humanoid, but many defy description—like twisted ideas given form.
> “Fractura… has activated,” Calhoun murmured, watching from the tower.

💀 Umbra Concordia’s Generals Appear
Out of the rift’s mist, three of Umbra’s generals emerge:
Salek the Splintered: Half his body fractured like Void crystal, wielding a massive scythe.
Vernesia the Pale Song: A mage fused with dimensional resonance, able to alter local reality through singing.
Drayk Hollowmark: A user of synthetic Voidstep—Real’s former rival.

> “Summon the Void Heir,” said Vernesia, her voice echoing directly in their minds.

⚔️ The Battle Begins
Aerthalia unleashes its full force:
Elaine leads the magical fortress, casting layered protective barriers.
Garrik and the battle knights charge into the frontline.
Ryn emerges from the shadows, sabotaging the enemy with pure shadow magic.

However… pure Void flows from the rift, distorting ordinary magic and making it unstable.

🖤 Angeline Enters the Battlefield
As Angeline arrives, Fractura reacts.
Her Voidstep synchronizes with the battlefield—she no longer moves through space, but leaps across consequences.
> “At last, we meet on open ground, little heir,” Salek says, walking forward as Void cracks spiral beneath him.


Angeline steps ahead, the Void Stigma glowing on her hand.
> “I’m not a little heir. I’m the closer of rifts. And this… is not your world.”

🌠 Void Law: Activated
For the first time, Angeline activates Void Law—the final form of her Void mastery.
Time near the Fractura slows. The dark entities freeze mid-motion.Angeline strikes once—cleanly closing one section of the rift.
> “One point sealed. Three more remain… and I must face each directly.”

🔚 End of Chapter
The war isn’t over.
But hope has appeared: Fractura can be closed.However, doing so requires full Void Law—and Angeline must confront each general head-on.
Real, Myra, and the others stand ready at her side. But this battlefield… is no longer human.
> “The next battle,” Angeline says,“won’t be in this world.It will be fought in the space between existence.”
