Chapter 125: Purging

Midnight – Europe’s Eastern Veins

Operation Cinder: Phase One

The night was cold. Too cold.

The sky above Hungary’s outer forest lines was pale and cloudless, lit only by the occasional flicker of red tracking lights from low-hovering drones. But the real heat—the real hunt—was below.

Footsteps in the dirt. Dozens of them. Black suits. Tactical helmets. Red visors pulsing softly.

Resistance soldiers moved like shadows, silent and precise. Behind them, small wolf-like bots scanned the terrain. Light-sensitive, fang-shaped scanners clicked against the undergrowth, sniffing for mana residue. Spirits. Vampires. Witches. Kitsune. Anyone not human.

They weren’t here for questions.

They were here to wipe out.

A voice crackled over the comms.

"Target confirmed. West bunker. Three heat signatures. Vampiric."

The leader, a broad man with a titanium chestplate and pulse-stitch rifle, raised a closed fist. The whole squad stopped.

He spoke, voice low.

"No survivors. Engage."

A second later, the assault began.

Four men sprinted forward, planting silver-charged mines at the perimeter. A fifth launched a drone through the treetops—its lenses lighting up in a ghostly blue. The rest drew out kinetic blades made of obsidian and silver alloy, forged with a resonance pulse that could disrupt magical shielding.

Inside the old bunker, the vampires stirred.

Too late.

The blast blew off the front wall, sending debris crashing into their table. One barely had time to reach for his dagger before a net fired straight through the smoke, pinning him to the wall. It hissed—laced with threads of salt and silver.

He screamed.

"Burn him."

One of the Resistance soldiers stepped up and fired a canister. A small hiss—then flame burst over the netted vampire’s body. A special kind of fire. Azure blue. Cold fire that drained life instead of giving heat.

The other two vampires lunged—fangs out, claws sharpened, eyes glowing.

But the soldiers were ready.

One stepped forward and threw a dart. A thin needle laced with spiritbane. The vampire staggered mid-air and slammed into the ground as his magic short-circuited.

The second got close—too close—and managed to tear one soldier’s arm clean off.

But the next moment, a magnetic blade cleaved through his spine, then burned upward.

It was over in twenty seconds.

The squad captain clicked his comms again.

"First nest cleared."

Another voice replied. "Copy. Moscow zone: five witches eliminated. Moving to Phase Two."

Meanwhile – Northern Norway – Deep Forest

Kitsune camp. Hidden. Cloaked with wind and illusion.

But the Resistance tech—gifted by Malakov—was built to see through that.

Two soldiers crouched on a hill overlooking the camp, helmets scanning the energy flow.

"Confirmed. Four foxfires active. Two asleep. Cloaking grid tied to lunar cycle."

"Permission to deploy crawler-bomb?"

"Granted."

The crawler—a beetle-shaped drone—skittered through the snow. It was silent, almost playful in how it zipped between rocks and roots.

Then it reached the center of the camp.

The moment it triggered, the foxfires flickered. Kitsune eyes snapped open. Ears twitched.

But it was too late.

Click—BOOM!

Blue mist exploded outward—an anti-spirit fog engineered to counter intangible forms. The kitsune screamed as their illusions collapsed. Their tails burned under the chemical bite. One tried to vanish into the wind—but an anchoring grenade wrapped her in chains made of woven truth-metal, forcing her spirit into material form.

The Resistance walked in slowly.

Guns raised.

No mercy.

Midnight – Czech Republic – Witch Refuge (Abandoned Temple)

They found the witches mid-ritual.

Circle of chalk. Candles lit. Old tongues whispered. A girl was crying in the middle—likely being healed or protected.

The Resistance didn’t wait.

A glass capsule rolled across the floor.

Pop.

Green gas flooded the room—then the witch screams came. Not pain.

Silence.

Silencing gas. Sound-deadening magic inhibitor developed in Russian labs. The witches’ voices were robbed from their mouths.

They couldn’t cast.

One witch raised her hand anyway—but a tether-wire wrapped her fingers and yanked her forward. She slammed against the altar.

Another burst through the curtain of gas and tried to run—but one of the soldiers raised a launcher.

A thump—and the girl was caught midair by an expanding silver net charged with storm-blood. Her body convulsed as lightning laced through her spellcore.

"Secure the records. Burn everything else," the commander ordered.

Lisbon – Vampire Safehouse

Twelve vampires.

Ten soldiers.

One commander.

Still...

No contest.

They breached the club entrance with zero sound. Used blackout drones to plunge the area into magical darkness—not even vampire night-vision could pierce it. From the black, they fired thermal darts, each one tuned to pierce undead flesh.

Fangs shattered.

One vampire tried to phase through the walls—but a hunter pulled out a mirror-blade, sliced through the space—and cut the vampire’s soul right out of her body.

The Resistance didn’t just want blood.

They wanted extermination.

Inside the Resistance Command Center – Same Night

Calen Rooks stood in the center of the war table. Sweat on his brow. Not from heat—but from satisfaction.

Every screen was lit up. Red targets blinking out one by one. Audio lines reporting from the field:

"Witch coven destroyed."

"Safehouse wiped."

"Kitsune shrine neutralized."

The numbers added up fast.

Dozens dead.

Hundreds more marked.

They were winning.

And it was only the beginning.

Malakov appeared behind him, arms crossed, gaze sharp.

"You’re delivering better than expected," he said.

Calen didn’t even turn. "I told you. I don’t bluff."

"You want to move to Phase Three?" Malakov asked. "Public chaos? Controlled leaks? Anti-supernatural riots?"

Calen smiled, eyes still fixed on the screens.

"No. Not yet."

He pointed to one name glowing bright red on the map.

New York.

Lucifer Origin.

"That one dies last," Calen said. "So he knows it wasn’t random. That this war was never about chaos."

He turned to Malakov then.

"It was about him."

Near a Ruined Vampire Camp – Romania

A single soldier walked through the ashes. Alone. Rifle slung low. Smoke curled off burned bodies.

She pulled off her helmet. Breathing heavily.

Then froze.

A soft sound behind her.

She turned fast, gun raised—

But it wasn’t human.

A figure stood there.

Tall.

White hair.

Red eyes burning like coals in snow.

Lucifer.

He looked down at the massacre.

Then looked at her.

The soldier didn’t speak.

Neither did he.

Until—

"You think war makes you right?"

His voice was soft. But it carried.

She aimed the rifle.

Lucifer didn’t move.

"You kill children," he said. "Call it justice. Burn shrines. Call it safety."

He walked forward.

Step by step.

She pulled the trigger—

But the gun jammed.

Lucifer stood in front of her now.

And she realized—

There was no monster more terrifying...

Than the one who never needed to raise his hand to make you feel like prey.
