Mystic Calling：Stone of Glory-Chapter 795: The Moment the Sky Trembled

Ethan’s brow furrowed, hard.

Since absorbing Kormaldor and Sol’Rakka, Emerald Castle’s power and reputation had soared. They were a rising empire now—untouchable, or so it seemed. No one in their right mind would pick a fight.

And yet, someone had come knocking. Not with words. With an army.

This wasn’t a provocation. It was a declaration of war.

He didn’t hesitate.

With a burst of energy, he launched into the sky, streaking toward the city gates like a thunderbolt.

Kaelira’s expression shifted instantly. She’d seen this before—too many times. Her face went pale, then hard. Without a word, she summoned her forces and followed.

...

When they reached the outer walls of Emerald Castle, the sight waiting for them turned blood to ice.

An army—massive, relentless—was sweeping across the plains like a tidal wave of steel and shadow.

Their energy signatures were warped, unnatural. Twisting, pulsing with something that didn’t belong in this world.

Several among them radiated power at Tier 27—monsters in human shape.

But it was their bodies that truly unsettled the soul.

Their skin shimmered with a translucent sheen, like glass stretched over liquid. Inside, energy flowed like molten mercury. Arms detached and reformed at will, reshaping mid-motion, snapping back into place like living machines.

They weren’t bound by the rules of flesh and bone.

Now Ethan understood.

Why Kaelira had been so wary.

Why the people of Sol’Rakka had chosen exile over resistance.

A voice echoed from above, slick and mocking.

"Kaelira... did you really think you could hide here?"

It slithered through the air, cold and sticky, like oil on water.

"Your scent is too distinct. Even if you fled to the edge of the universe... we’d still find you."

A figure rose into the sky, hovering above the battlefield.

Its form was barely humanoid—more a silhouette of liquid energy, constantly shifting, rippling with power. From its core, a massive sphere of condensed energy began to form, swirling above its head like a second sun.

Kaelira’s jaw clenched. Her eyes burned with fury—old, buried, and now boiling to the surface.

She stepped forward, power crackling at her fingertips.

But Ethan raised a hand, stopping her.

"Your Majesty," he said, voice low but resolute.

"You’re part of Emerald Castle now. Your enemies... are our enemies."

He turned to face the oncoming tide.

"They’ve attacked our gates without cause. That means only one thing—"

"They pay."

Then, louder—his voice ringing across the walls:

"—All forces, prepare for battle!"

BOOM.

The gates of Emerald Castle thundered open, and the army surged out like a living wave—armor gleaming, weapons drawn, eyes locked on the enemy.

They met Helkaris’s forces head-on in the open wilds, steel clashing with liquid fury.

Helkaris hadn’t expected this.

They’d chased Kaelira across dimensions, expecting another retreat, another desperate flight.

Instead, they found a united army—disciplined, fearless, and ready to fight.

The battle didn’t build.

It exploded.

Ethan was just about to launch himself toward the front lines, ready to face the liquid emperor—Emperor Helkaris—head-on.

But before he could even lift off fully, a familiar flash of light streaked past him.

Auri had already taken to the skies.

Her voice rang out, crisp and indignant: "You bullies are way out of line! Charging into our home for no reason? Fine! I’ll teach you a lesson—for my dad!"

She hovered midair, small and fierce, golden and emerald energy crackling around her like fireflies caught in a storm. She looked like an angry little sprite—adorable, yes, but with a dangerous glint in her eye.

Anyone seeing her for the first time would’ve mistaken her for a child playing dress-up.

Until she unleashed her power.

Emperor Helkaris let out a strange, rippling laugh—like liquid vibrating in a glass bowl.

"Hahaha... Is Emerald Castle so desperate it sends a child to—"

He didn’t finish.

Because in the next breath, Auri’s power surged.

The sky lit up.

The force of the Fairy God—ancient, wild, and impossibly pure—poured from her like a tidal wave. The air trembled. Grass bent toward her. Dust lifted and danced in the glow of her aura.

Nature itself answered her call.

Fairy God magic wasn’t just powerful—it was primal. One of the oldest forces in the world. When it awakened, the elements didn’t just obey—they flocked to it.

Which meant that when Auri fought, she didn’t fight alone. The entire environment became her ally.

It was a terrifying advantage.

"This... this can’t be..." Helkaris’s liquid eyes narrowed, his mercury-like body rippling with unease.

He immediately ramped up his power.

BOOM—

The clash hit like a thunderstrike.

Two forces collided midair, sending shockwaves tearing through the sky. Rings of energy rippled outward, warping the clouds, splitting the light.

Auri, despite being only at the peak of Tier 26, held her ground.

With the natural world itself bolstering her, she met the Tier 27 emperor blow for blow.

Her small frame stood firm in the heart of the storm, glowing like a star.

...

Watching Auri hold the line alone, Kaelira—Desert Queen, once ruler of Sol’Rakka—couldn’t stay still any longer.

"Damn liquid freaks... I’m coming!"

BOOM—

A torrent of violet-pink energy exploded from her body as she launched herself into the fray, a blazing comet of fury.

She tore across the battlefield, straight into the heart of the Helkaris army.

Kaelira’s power was raw, aggressive, and unrelenting. The sky above her turned into a swirling storm of pink and purple, and the battlefield shook beneath the weight of her assault.

Dust and debris flew in every direction as her magic carved a path through the enemy ranks.

...

But as the minutes dragged on, the war began to grind into a brutal stalemate.

Helkaris’s army was powerful—unnaturally so. Worse, they were nearly impossible to kill.

Their liquid bodies flowed and reformed endlessly. Swords passed through them like blades through water. Blunt force only scattered them, never broke them.

If not for Emerald Castle’s terrain advantage—and the countless defensive magic arrays humming across the city walls—they would’ve been overrun already.

The arrays flared in sequence, casting rings of light that vaporized, froze, or sliced through the liquid soldiers. It was just enough to keep the tide from crashing through.

Just enough to hold the line.

But in the sky above, the real battle raged hotter by the second.

Three titans—Auri, Kaelira, and Helkaris—clashed in a storm of light and fury.

And the longer they fought, the more the balance on the ground began to shift.

The stalemate wouldn’t last much longer. One side was going to break.
