Gantala pushed Jake with his foot to withdraw the sword as he scrambled back to the side of Gantala.Benny glared at the two. "You two were in this together from the very beginning.""I'm afraid so, Roro. But you don't worry, not one bit. I'll have you and all your friends here. Follow Jakey soon enough.""Then, when you said that Axel and Mel betrayed you,""Those fools chose to die with their king. I chose to live with my emperor!""Gantala!"Driven with rage, Benny charged at the former general as their swords clashed."Yuni, please give up. Surrender and all this will stop; if I say a word to my liege, he will show mercy."Yuni stood silently as Kira urged her to surrender.Kira might have been following the wrong leader, but she has no malice towards her opponents."You saw what just happened. I'm sorry, Kira; I've been holding back, thinking you weren't like them, thinking that you might choose a different path."Yuni's eyes glowed brighter than usual. Her body was shaking with

The resounding clash of metal against metal echoed through the opulent chamber of the palace within the formidable Castle of Black Island. A towering figure, measuring an impressive seven feet in height, engaged in fierce combat with Shambala. "Their relentless duel has persisted for a span of five consecutive days.""Those two have been at it for five days now."Shambala uses his speed to his advantage, as he does not dodge a couple of straight jabs from the large man."Neither side looks as if they are ready to cave in.""Shambala...win...for...vex."The man fighting Shambala was none other than Don Hudson.Shambala flips over Hudson and kicks him in the face. Unfazed, Hudson grabs the leg of the Wonder and slams him hard on the ground, creating a man-sized hole in the process."Hahahaha." Fiendlow laughs as he pauses to slurp down the juice he was carrying.Shambala's broken bones healed almost instantly as he got back up.He was using the healing powers of the bird to rejuvenate

Kaz had made his way back to the carriage given to him by Vladimir.He made a stop at Black Seed Market to clarify certain things about Fiendlow."Honestly though. How strong are the dons? If we had faced the original Fiendlow,"Oy! Where do you think you're going?""I can ask you the same thing."Kaz looked at Adamas, who was carrying his luggage around his back."I meant, where do you think you're going without me?"Kaz tilted his head."Huh?""You're returning to the East Relica, are you not?"Kaz nods."Good, take me with you.""As much as I hate going there, I have to report my findings to those old fossils."The two rode off.Meanwhile..."Ahhhh!""Sir Tyson, do something!""Guys, hold on!"The Mini cruiser was descended at a fastening rate as a red alarm beebs on the deck."Brace yourselves!"Lex was chewing his fingers as Jolie and Farrow clutched each other in fright. Tyson was struggling to steer the Ark to a safe spot for a crash landing.Boom! Thud!Leaving a crater of des

"Ahh!" Tyson exclaimed as he slammed a cup on a table. "Man, this smoothy is good!" The crew was currently in the cafeteria section of the tower. Having destroyed most parts of the battle dome due to the collision of their powerful attacks, Tyson, Crimson, and their respective guildmates made their way to a cafeteria for lunch. Vladimir was devouring towers of food without a second's rest."Tyson." "Yeah?" "Here." Crimson kept a big bag on the table and pushed it as it slid towards Tyson. "Huh?" Tyson opened the back and was slightly blinded by the glittering sparkles of the object inside. The others peered a little, and they all dropped their jaws. "It's an Anima crystal!" "I don't understand." Tyson faced the red-haired teen. "The match might have ended in a draw based on a technicality, but I still can't shake the fact that I lost. And as such, a bargain is a bargain."Crimson folded his arms."Heh. The runt actually has a nice side to him. Who knew?" Lex mocked her with

The location was inside the Capricorn zodiac crypt. The Nightshade guild found themselves in a large labyrinth. "Ack!" "Dead end!" "Shit!" Cries of devastation escaped the mouths of the Nightshades as they seamlessly tried to get out of the maze. But there is no veil. "This place goes on forever!" Lex slams the wall that stood before him as they stumble into another dead end. "We've been at this for days!" Tyson cried out. It was unusual for him to lose his cool, but this was a special case. "Good thing we packed some food with us," Jolie added as she continued to study the markings on the walls. "But for how long?" Vladimir intervened. "We seem to be going in circles." "It's been a week since that goat-man came here, and we haven't made any real progress." A week ago, the Nightshade guild arrived at Grum Forest to locate the Capricorn crypt. Farrow ended up falling into a hole, and he asked the others to follow him. That was how they found the crypt. The crypt keeper, Ha
