**Chapter 345 Breaking the Chains**

Corvin rushed into the dimly lit room, his heart soaring with joy at the prospect of reuniting with Malrik. But the moment his gaze fell upon his friend bound in chains, a cloud of darkness swept over his features.

“They’ve gone too far this time,” he muttered, his voice laced with disbelief. “How could they possibly chain you up like this? Just wait right here. I’ll set you free in no time.”

Malrik lay on the bed, his red eyes piercing through the haze of despair, fixed intently on Corvin.

Corvin, however, was too consumed by the sight of the chains to notice the tempest of madness and pain raging within Malrik’s gaze.

Frowning deeply, he examined the chains that ensnared his friend. They were not ordinary restraints; they were adorned with ominous runes and vicious spikes. The cruel spikes had embedded themselves into Malrik’s skin, as if they were grotesque extensions of his own body.

*The Enchanter Clan is far too cruel,* Corvin thought, a surge of anger boiling within him. *How could they treat one of their own like this?*

“Malrik, don’t you worry,” he assured, his voice steady despite the chaos around them. “I’ll get these chains off you, I promise.”

With determination, he reached into his storage band, pulling out an assortment of strange tools, each one more unfamiliar than the last.

As he cautiously extended a hand to touch one of the chains, a sudden jolt coursed through him. The moment his fingertip made contact, he felt a portion of his ability being siphoned away.

He gasped, eyes wide with shock. *What kind of twisted chains are these?*

Never before had he encountered chains that could drain a person’s very essence.

In a rush, Corvin retrieved a special pair of gloves from his band, sliding them on with a sense of urgency. “Thank goodness I thought to bring these,” he murmured, feeling a flicker of hope.

With the gloves shielding him, he reached out once more, touching the chain with newfound resolve. This time, his ability remained intact, and he felt a surge of determination.

Next, he pulled out a massive pair of pliers, their metallic gleam reflecting his fierce intent. “Malrik, brace yourself. This might sting a bit,” he warned, steeling himself for what was to come.

He knew delicate tools wouldn’t suffice; these chains required brute force to be broken.

With a firm grip, he clamped the chain in the pliers and pressed down with all his might. A sharp crack echoed through the room as the chain shattered, sending shards flying.

Malrik let out a low groan of pain, the sound cutting through Corvin’s resolve like a knife.

“Malrik, hang in there. It’ll be over soon,” he urged, his heart racing as he moved to the next chain.

Ignoring the painful cries of his friend, Corvin pressed on, determined to free Malrik from his torment.

Finally, when the last of the chains lay broken on the floor, he tossed the tools aside and began to pull the remnants off Malrik. Each chain tore away from his skin, leaving behind a trail of gaping wounds that made Corvin’s heart ache.

He frowned deeply, tossing the chains aside as he rummaged for the leaves Silas had given him.

“Malrik, please don’t be afraid. I’ll use these leaves on your wounds. You’ll feel better in no time,” he said, trying to inject comfort into his voice.

“Help! Lucien, someone help me!” he screamed, panic rising within him.

“Marcus!” he shouted, his voice filled with desperation.

Corvin’s heart raced as he kicked and fought back, but Malrik easily pinned both of his wrists above his head with one hand, rendering him helpless.

Just as Malrik leaned in, his lips almost brushing against Corvin’s, the bedroom door burst open with a force that sent a gust of icy air swirling into the room.

In an instant, both boys were encased in ice, frozen in time as the temperature plummeted.

Marcus strode in, his presence commanding and powerful, and he pushed the frozen Malrik aside with ease.

Inside the icy prison, Corvin gazed at Marcus, feeling as if he were witnessing a deity in the flesh.

He pressed against the ice, his lips moving in silent pleas for help, but no sound escaped him.

Lucien extended his hand, flames dancing around it as they swept over the ice encasing Corvin. The cold melted away in an instant, releasing him from his frigid prison.

Edric rushed forward, lifting Corvin up and inspecting him for injuries. Once he confirmed Corvin was unharmed, a wave of relief washed over him.

Standing beside Edric, Corvin felt the grip of fear loosen its hold on him. He pointed at the frozen Malrik on the bed, his voice tinged with frustration. “Look at what they did! This is insane!”
