In a separate chamber within the tower, an individual observed the entirety of the battle unfold on a monitor. He casually took sips from his coffee cup before reaching for his phone and dialing a number. "Greetings. They have arrived..."With that, he uttered the incantation, "Shadow Arts: Black Guillotine!" The resulting impact between his X-shaped slash wave and the fireball caused an immense explosion that engulfed not only the ring but also portions of the stadium, sending Krystal and Rex flying out of bounds in its wake. Chaos ensued as various voices rang out in alarm: "Krystal!" "Sir Krystal!" "Captain!" and even insults such as "Demon spawn!" However, to everyone's surprise, Krystal emerged from beneath the debris completely unscathed, though regrettably for him, his coat had suffered severe burns throughout.Krystal emerged from the debris completely unscathed, although the same could not be said of his coat as it was burned all over. "My coat!" Krystal wailed as he brushed

“Gosh, Grover, are you okay?” Krystal said as he rushed over to where Grover was kneeling. As soon as he got hold of Grover, Grover fainted in his arms. “This looks bad, really bad,” Krystal said to himself. “Why did he make me do it? Why did I even listen to him? Wish I didn't charge up so much,” Krystal kept thinking to himself. Krystal suddenly realized that Grover was losing more consciousness. He used his shadow power to cover and carry him to keep him alive until they could find a healer for him.Vladimir and Justin are approaching from the other side of the bush, where they are training. “Krystal! Grover!” Justin kept calling until they saw Krystal with an activated shadow power. “Are they still training?” Justin paused as he asked. “That is not his shadow power for fight or defense,” Vladimir quickly added as he ran towards Krystal.Justin joined him too. Getting close to Krystal.“What is the matter, Krystal?” Vladimir asked.Before Krystal could utter a word,. Justin

While at sea, Justin and Vladimir are on the deck chatting.Justin is munching food as usual, but Vladimir is sipping wine from his can.The can is one of the spoils of battle he took back then as a commander of a district. The captain signaled to them that three ships were approaching them: one big one in the middle and two little ones by its sides.Krystal took a telescope to view the approaching ships. He saw a flag with a Sea Bonnie with an eye patch on it and a red scarf on its head.“Those are the Sea Bonnies; they are the most dreaded pirates on the sea,” the captain told Krystal.“Are they also raiders of ships?” Krystal asked. “They leave nothing on their path the same way they met it; they claim the sea is their inheritance,” the captain replied, trembling.Krystal called on Justin and Vladimir and drew their attention to the ships ahead. “They chose the wrong location to attack the possessor of Mjolnir,” Vladimir said with a smirk on his face. As the ark and the ships g

The captain and the other crew members are busy making repairs on the ship.“Bring only the hardwoods for the deck,” the captain said, pointing towards the pile of hardwoods opposite where he was.“Aye, captain,” the heavy crew member replied.Shambala and the guild are back at where the ship was being repaired.“What's the progress, captain?” Krystal asked as he got closer to hear the captain.“The repairs are going very well, but we need more hands to make it faster,” the captain replied.“That should not be a problem; Vladimir and Justin can assist. By the way, where's Riley?” Krystal asked as Vladimir and Justin adjusted themselves to join the others on repairs.“Riley!” the captain shouted. “Yeah, I'm here,” Riley responded as he came down faster from the ark with some books in his hands.“Come meet Shambala,” Krystal said as he introduced Shambala to Riley.“Hello, I'm Riley; I've heard so much about you,” Riley said to Shambala.“Oh? What could you have heard?” Shambala said i

As the guild was fighting the intruders,.“These intruders are not artifact users, but good swordsmen," Vladimir said.“They will be an easy defeat then,” Justin said with a grin.“Look out!” Riley told Grover as he immediately evaded an attacker's blow from behind.“Thanks,” he said, flipping the intruder to the ground.One of the intruders took out a spell book and read a time-related spell as the guild of Shadow members was surrounded, although not defeated.They made them stand together as the intruder with the book smiled at them.“instant evanescet in futurum (instant vanish into the future),” said the intruder with the spell book.Suddenly, a wormhole-like door opened and pulled the guild inside. “What in the world is that!?” Grover exclaimed.“It is nothing like the Crypts,” Justin said.The guild sees themselves in different clothes and with the artifact they were in pursuit of, trying to understand the sudden change in time and the fortune that has fallen on them.“What jus
