Three days had passed since Grover had the artifact, yet the promised power of the Raven spirit remained stubbornly inert. Disappointment clouded his mood as he watched Krystal practice his shadow magic patterns and Vladimir train with his thunder and beast summoning skills. He, however, remained bound to the frustration of unanswered pleas.Luckily their journey had been smooth and there was no one who attacked them, as a result, the group was at rest.The past three days had been quite interesting for the team Shambala involved them in practices and Grover was told to focus to his inner spirit so he could connect with the Raven spirit.Shambala taught Vladimir and Krystal how they could combine their powers and fight as a team especially with the change in the fact that Vladimir had two in his possession now and was powerful than Krystal unlike before.“Krystal you will have to evade attacks that are too much and Vladimir you would intercept in any case were your team members are fou

Engaging back with the beast, the team were a bit weary of dancing around with the beast.Krystal who wanted to proof a point suddenly created a huge shadow blade and took off the head of the beast and the body of the beast thudded on the ground as it dropped dead.The rest of the team looked at each other, at least they have killed the beast for now.“Do not relax lads that beast Krystal just killed will revive even stronger,” Shambala informed them as he noticed they were feeling relaxed after the beast dropped dead.A minute later just as Shambala had just said, the beast revived and they had to fight it again, this time the beast had new features and discover that Shambala was serious about it coming back stronger. The beast was not holding back as it used its tentacles to wrap Krystal tossing him away time after time causing him more injuries than the others because he was the weakest. Vladimir crossed over to where his hammer was and grabbed it immediately, summoning a wave of

Krystal and Vladimir were now injured, so the only person who was able to fight the beast now was Shambala who was looking very serious.The beast was now able to channel all its strength on one target being Shambala, it pounce on the ground severally trying to smash Shambala but he was too quick for him.Plus the others were also helping by telling him that the beast was about to do this or that in circumstances he could not see what the beast was up to.The beast could not even land a blow on Shambala and neither could he as he was more of evading than attacking.Shambala was trying to wear out the beast as he was dancing around it still making sure the beast could not reach him either grabbing him or hitting him, so he does not sustain any injury.“Come on you foul beast!” Shambala shouted as he got angrier at the beast.“That is the spirit Sensei. Do not let that abomination of a creature get you," Vladimir said under his breathe as he was weak and could barely stand.Shambala gave

Looking at the back, Shambala saw Krystal walking forward with determination in her eyes. He seemed almost oblivious to his injuries and the pain he had previously experienced. His steps, as he marched forward, seemed abnormal. Even for him. “Krystal!” …. He yelled at the top of his voice as he approached him. “Krystal, hold on. We need to sit back and strategize. Figure out a long-term plan for the beast’s seeming invincibility. We need…”He suddenly halted because he was not even stopping to listen to what he was saying. He didn’t even appear to see him. Only likely to see through him.All his efforts to dissuade Krystal, saying that what he was about to do was dangerous as he was already gravely injured and vulnerable, went unanswered.Vladimir, seeing the attempts made by Shambala, realized that something else was up. He had never even seen Shambala speak so many words all at once in quick succession.Shambala was really a man of few words. Vladimir decided he would pitch in to h

Krystal heard himself talk as though out of his body. It sounded like someone else had spoken near him. However, his consciousness was returning so he knew for sure that it had been him who had yelled.He had lost energy and crashed to his knees, but now he felt a sudden surge of energy flood every part of his being. His mind, and his soul were strengthened.And he couldn’t quite place his finger on it just yet, but then it occurred to him. He felt this strong because he had finally become all that he could be at this current level of power.He had faced the battle that has in the past brought several other comrades to their knees, and yet he had won. Everyone watched as Krystal mustered himself to stand up. His knees had felt like he had shattered every single bone in them when he fell and yet here he was being able to stand and staunchly support his frame. His eyes which had first developed a keen glint and then eventually turned a bright shade of red once again got altered. They
