Darius could no longer contain his anger. The worsening situation had caused him to lose control. The hit-and-run attacks launched by Evan and Aria had devastated his men, and their inability to capture the small group had made Darius even more furious. Feeling that he had no other option, Darius finally decided to take matters into his own hands. He could no longer rely solely on his subordinates; this had become a personal matter. Without hesitation, Darius stepped into the forest, leaving a trail of anxiety among his remaining men. As he moved among the trees, Darius felt his rage intensify. With every step, his desire to destroy his enemies grew stronger. He extended his arms, and powerful energy began to flow through his body. Darius manipulated the metal around him, lifting it from the ground and trees, using it as a deadly weapon. A loud crash echoed as Darius controlled the metal, hurling it in every direction and tearing the forest apart with his power. Trees toppled, the

The battle was becoming one-sided. Evan and Aria were cornered, with no way to defeat the giant metal rhino that continued to destroy everything in its path. Every attempt they made to get closer was blocked by the brutal attacks of the metal beast, perfectly controlled by Darius. The trees in the forest that had once provided them shelter were now reduced to rubble, shattered by the destructive power of the creature.Suddenly, heavy rain began to pour down, adding to the difficulties they faced. The ground became slippery and muddy, making their movements even slower. The rumble of thunder and flashes of lightning in the distance only added to the tension that continued to mount. Amidst the chaos, an idea started to form in Evan's mind, a plan that might be their only way to stop Darius.Hiding behind the remains of a large tree still standing, Evan took a deep breath, trying to calm his fear and think clearly. He glanced over at Aria, who was also taking cover beside him, her face s

Upon arriving at the Ironfist family estate, Evan, Aria, and Riley were warmly welcomed by those who had been waiting for them. The tension and fatigue from their battles began to fade as they were enveloped in the familiar and comforting atmosphere of the estate. The grand main hall of the estate was filled with relief and joy. The servants immediately came forward to assist them, offering warm towels and water to clean the remnants of their battle. Their clothing, still damp and torn from the fierce combat, starkly contrasted with the elegance of their surroundings. Despite the evident signs of their struggle, the warmth and attention from the Ironfist staff made them feel at peace. Daniel and Maria, Evan's parents, emerged from one of the side rooms, their faces shining with joy and relief as they saw their child and his friends. The elderly couple quickly moved towards them, embracing Evan first, holding him tightly as if to reassure themselves that he was truly safe. “Thank th

In the city of Arcadia, the usually calm morning turned into one of anxiety as the sky above began to change rapidly. Thick dark clouds gathered in the sky, moving at an unnatural speed as if a mysterious force was driving them. The sunlight, which typically illuminated the city's streets, was now completely obscured, giving the impression that night had fallen earlier than usual.People on the streets began to sense the strange phenomena unfolding. Those who had been strolling leisurely now quickened their pace, seeking shelter from whatever they felt approaching. A distant rumble echoed from afar, shaking the ground beneath their feet. The warm air abruptly turned cold, piercing to the bone and causing everyone outside to shiver.The once-bustling market suddenly fell silent as vendors hurriedly closed their stalls, securing their goods while casting worried glances at the sky. Children, who usually played cheerfully in the park, were called home by their parents, who sensed somethi

In front of the menacing black vortex, Evan, Aria, and Liam discussed seriously. They had spent several hours searching for artifacts or clues around the location, but all their efforts seemed in vain. There were no signs of ritual materials or magical components that could help them close the dimensional rift.Tension etched Evan's face as he scrutinized the vortex with frustration. "We haven't found anything around here. What should we do now?"Aria, appearing tired but still focused, wiped sweat from her brow. "We might not have many options left but to try entering the rift."Liam looked at Aria with concern. "Entering the rift? Isn't that too dangerous?"Aria nodded. "Yes, it might be our only option. If this rift can be used to release these creatures, perhaps we can use the same way to enter and close it from within. However, we don't know what terrain or enemies we might face in that dimension."Evan furrowed his brow. "True, we don’t know what’s inside, but if we can't close
