    Chapter 345 Soul-Piercing Shiver Ran Through


    Zachy deathly still nearby, his face ashen and lifeless, like a flickering candle me, about to be snuffed out:


    Shawn was stunned, his face a mask of disbelief. ''How could this be?'' he wondered.


    The confidence he had disyed just moments ago now felt like a cruel self- inflicted blow, as the severity of the injury he had sustained in the Indigo Training Ground shocked him.


    Raven paused briefly, then in a sh, she stood before Zach.


    She found Zach lying with his eyes squeezed shut, fragile. The air around her turned icy, and she quickly crouched down, pressing her fingers against Zach''s wrist. The pulse was faint but there, and she exhaled a breath of relief.


    With a soft shimmer of the Ring of Life on her finger, a small white vial materialized in her hand. Gently parting Zach''s lips, she poured the liquid medicine into his mouth.


    Upon entering his body, the medicine vanished instantly, its potency seemingly devoured by an unseen force. Raven''s worry deepened as she realized the treatment had no effect. She immediately rechecked his pulse.


    His face grim, Shawn grabbed hismunicator, pressed the transmission button, and barked, "L! Get over here now!" Seconds ticked by, but Shawn''smunicator remained silent, unanswered. His expression darkened with each


    passing


    moment.


    Dread coiled in his chest, a chilling premonition he couldn''t ignore. Just as his fear threatened to overwhelm him, Raven reacted, her rapid breaths betraying her mounting panic.


    Despite the rising panic, she forced herself to meticulously check Zach repeatedly. However, no matter how thorough her search, she couldn''t find a trace of the Devourer Starcard in his body. She realized with certainty, ''He doesn''t have it!"


    After carefully examining Zach, Raven confirmed the grim truth: his Innate Starcard had been ripped away. A storm of deadly energy erupted from her as the realization struck.


    Shawn instinctively stumbled back several steps under Raven''s oppressive stare before he could regain his bnce; her eyes, sharp and unrelenting, locked onto him with murderous intent. "Where''s my brother''s Devourer Starcard?" she demanded, her voice cold and sharp.


    An Innate Starcard becam


    as essential as one''s own hands and feet. It was so deeply intertwined with the nervous system that having it torn away was a thousand times more agonizing than losing a limb-an unimaginable pain. Raven couldn''t even begin to fathom the agony Zach had endured.


    Raven''s unexpected questionpletely blindsided Shawn, who was already tongue-tied by her presence. His mind momentarily went nk:


    Panic seized him as a sh of light blinded him momentarily. The next instant, a vice-like grip tightened around his throat, stealing his breath and forcing out a choked gasp.


    His struggle died in his thos he met her gaze-cold, empty,pletely emotionless. Terror seized him; in that moment,


    death felt close and suffocating, an undeniable presence.


    Raven''s grip tightened, slowly lifting Shawn until his feet dangled helplessly. Her icy stare pierced him, as if he were already dead. "Where is my brother''s Devourer Starcard?" she asked, her voice deceptively calm, yet sending chills down Shawn''s spine.
