Not long after, something stirred within Joseph—a flicker of recognition, like a forgotten memory rising to the surface. He turned to Yoshi and Lyra with sudden urgency.“I should grab the Relic of Enhancement now before... you know, some random, totally unpredictable plot twist from the author derails everything and makes all our efforts feel, like, futile or something,” Joseph said, his tone casual but oddly ominous.Yoshi and Lyra exchanged bewildered glances, unsure if they were supposed to laugh or be concerned.Joseph, noticing their confusion, waved dismissively. “Oh, never mind. I’ll just fetch it from Masanori—the guy who was possessed by Demon Lord Lirien. He’s still unconscious, right?”Without waiting for a response, he strode off, leaving them more confused than reassured.As Joseph approached the unconscious Masanori, his steps were cautious yet confident. The relic of enhancement gleamed faintly in Masanori’s hand, a prize that seemed within reach. "Alright," Joseph mut

As the battle raged on, the Trident siphoned the stolen power from Demon Lord Lirien and transferred it to Aryl. This infusion of energy not only healed Aryl completely but also magnified her strength and aura, restoring her to peak form. Feeling the surge of power coursing through her, Aryl wasted no time.Lirien, despite the excruciating pain and the strain on her body, realized that delay would cost her dearly. She surged forward, her demonic resilience pushing her through the agony. The two combatants clashed once more, their battle escalating into a whirlwind of midair and mid-flight attacks. Aryl eventually grabbed Lirien by her tail and, with an impressive display of force, hurled her downward. Lirien's body hit the ground with bone-crushing impact, the crash sending shockwaves through the battlefield.As Lirien struggled to recover, Joseph, an ally of Aryl, made a desperate move to assist. Grabbing Lirien's tail in an attempt to restrain her, he quickly realized the horrifying

The catacombs were an ancient labyrinth of stone and shadow, their air thick with the stench of decay. Yoshi and his team approached cautiously, their weapons drawn, their senses heightened.Within the depths, they found the demi-gods standing in a circle, the Treasure of Life glowing in their midst. One of them, a statuesque demi-goddess with silver hair, turned to face them.“Prince Yoshi,” she said, her voice carrying a chilling calm. “You and your companions would do well to leave. This is not your fight.”Yoshi stepped forward, his voice steady and calm. “You don’t have to do this. There are ways to resolve this without violence. Let the Treasure of Life be returned to its rightful place.”The demigoddess’s gaze faltered, her eyes clouded with despair before hardening into resolve. She stared at Yoshi, her voice trembling with emotion. “You, of all people, should understand what it means to be rejected, to be cast aside from what was meant to be yours. For millennia, our kind has

In that moment, after the archdemon absorbed the relic of enhancement into himself, he placed the relic of time upon his forehead. It adhered to him like a priceless gem, the ancient relic fusing with his very being. As the connection took hold, blue veins snaked across his forehead, threatening to burst from beneath his skin. His body began to crack and distort as though it were on the verge of unraveling. His eyes pulsed with boundless energy—his sclera completely black, corrupted by the two powerful relics. His irises turned blue, signaling the influence of the relic of time, while his pupils became a deep, menacing red, reflecting the overwhelming power of the relic of enhancement.The archdemon’s aura flared to life, radiating with an intensity that was almost tangible. A blinding light enveloped his form as three distinct auras emanated from his body: a fierce blue, a suffocating black, and a fiery red. The sky seemed to darken, and the very air around him warped under the weigh

The desolate city stretched before them, eerily silent and devoid of life. Lyra turned to Yoshi, her expression resolute, and handed him the Relic of Time. Without hesitation, Yoshi grasped the ancient artifact, channeling its immense power to undo the catastrophic time blast that had wiped everything away. A brilliant glow enveloped the city as the fabric of reality shifted. Slowly, people began to reappear—friends, foes, and even the minions of the archdemon who had wreaked havoc upon the land.The city, once lifeless, buzzed with astonishment. Whispers of disbelief and joy spread as people examined themselves and embraced loved ones thought lost forever. Allies and enemies alike stood amidst the reborn streets, their faces reflecting a mix of awe and confusion.Before chaos could erupt, Lyra stepped forward. With a wave of her hand, she unleashed a surge of magic, vanquishing the monsters instantly. Her power then swept through Kochi, repairing the battle-ravaged city, restoring it
