Evan stood before his father, his expression calm but his heart full of resolve. After the division of the Ironfist family, he felt the need to return to where everything began.“Father? I want to go back to our old house,” Evan said as his father, Daniel, was instructing his younger sister, Lily.Daniel asked Lily to leave, giving him and Evan a moment alone. “What do you mean? You want to go back to that slum district?”Evan nodded. “Yes, Father.”Daniel was silent for a moment. He no longer saw Evan as a mere teenager. Evan was now capable of protecting himself. Although it was dangerous, Daniel eventually gave his permission. “I will allow you to go, but Aria must accompany you.”Evan did not object to his father’s condition. He nodded and went to meet Aria.***In the small training field where they used to practice, Aria was pushing herself hard, determined not to let more lives be lost. The many lives lost during Seraphine’s attack made Aria feel the need to improve her skills.
In a vast room, the gleaming marble floor reflected the light from the crystal chandelier above. Victor stood in the center, surrounded by six executives. They were the high-ranking members of the organization Victor led, individuals who were considered the most powerful and skilled. Yet, despite their status, they all knew how dangerous Victor was.Victor wore an elegant black suit, but his aura displayed no softness. His eyes were sharp, filled with determination, and the slight smile on his face showed how much he relished this moment.“Are you ready?” Victor asked, his voice calm but laden with an unspoken threat.The executives didn’t answer, but they knew what to do. Without warning, they moved in unison, attacking Victor from all directions with their extraordinary powers. One of them controlled ice, sending massive chunks of it directly at Victor. At the same time, another executive launched an attack, forming sharp spears from shadows, ready to impale Victor from behind. Mean
In his grand private room, surrounded by dark wood-paneled walls and shelves filled with old books that created a serene atmosphere, Victor sat behind a large mahogany desk. Scattered before him were various papers, world maps, and strategic notes he had meticulously prepared over the years. However, his mind couldn't focus. The defeat he suffered when trying to confront Evan and Aria was still fresh in his memory, burning the ego that had always been shielded by his extraordinary power.Victor sighed softly, his eyes drawn to an object on his desk—a relic, ancient and emanating a mystical aura. It was one of the five he had successfully collected, artifacts with unimaginable power from another world. With these five relics, Victor knew he could summon an inconceivable power, a force capable of altering the fate of this world. Yet, there was one nagging thought—this power was not enough to summon the shadow army, the final strength that would make him the king of the shadows, an unriv
Riley stared at his computer screen with intense concentration. In the small room illuminated by the dim light of the monitors, he looked like a soldier preparing to enter the battlefield. His fingers hovered over the keyboard as complex codes filled the screen, indicating intense activity in the cyber realm."How's your search going, Riley?" Evan asked, standing not far from Riley. Next to him, Aria sat anxiously, waiting for news from Riley.Riley slowly shook his head. "I've found some information on the internet, but nothing crucial. Everything public has been meticulously polished by Victor's team. They know how to keep secrets."Evan sighed in frustration. "So, we're back to square one?""Not entirely," Riley replied, his voice calm but firm. "There's still one place we can try. But it's a high-risk move."Aria looked at Riley with concern. "What are you planning, Riley?"Riley took a deep breath before answering. "I'm going to try to hack into Victor Draken's company's system.
Evan, Aria, and Riley were still basking in the euphoria of successfully breaching Victor Draken's company system. This success felt like a major victory in an otherwise seemingly impossible battle. However, their joy was abruptly overshadowed when a message appeared on Riley’s screen:“You are being watched.”The words felt like a harsh slap in the face. Riley froze momentarily, his mind racing to grasp the implications. “It’s a trap,” he murmured, his voice trembling as the horrifying realization sank in.Aria looked at the screen with growing anxiety. “What does it mean, Riley? Do they know where we are?”“More than that,” Riley replied, his face pale. “They not only know we’re here, but they’re also tracking our location. They might have known we were coming from the start.”Evan sensed the sudden escalation in tension within the room. “What should we do?”Without wasting a moment, Riley began typing a new series of commands, trying to break free from the clutches of a system that
Evan, Riley, and Aria ran through the dimly lit streets, their breaths ragged with tension as they frantically searched for a way out. They needed to find a vehicle quickly. However, none of them knew how to drive, leaving their options severely limited. Aria scanned the streets, desperation clear in her voice. "We have to get to the train station. It's our only chance!" Evan nodded in agreement. "But how? None of us can drive, and we can't risk stealing a car. That would attract too much attention." Riley, gripping her small digital device tightly, looked up and saw a taxi approaching. "There! We can take that taxi!" They waved at the taxi, their hands trembling slightly. As the taxi came to a stop, they quickly got inside. "To the train station, please, and hurry!" Riley urged, trying to mask the panic in her voice. The taxi driver nodded, sensing the urgency in their tone, and began driving. The three of them felt a slight relief as the car sped through the city, as if their
Darius arrived at the location, standing on the edge of the bridge, looking down with a look of fury. All the metal he had dropped earlier had piled up around the riverbank, creating a visual barrier that made it difficult for him to track where his prey had escaped. A flash of impatience appeared on his face as he realized his targets had eluded him, at least for the moment.In an authoritative tone, Darius called his subordinates, who immediately assembled around him. "Keep searching!" he ordered coldly. "They can't be far. The entire area around the river needs to be thoroughly checked."His subordinates nodded, quickly spreading out in every direction to comply with the order. Darius remained standing there, his eyes scanning every corner that might be a hiding spot. His anger burned even fiercer. Although he was confident in his abilities, he knew that his prey this time was not an easy opponent to deal with.***Meanwhile, in the dark and dense forest surrounding the river, Aria
Evan, Aria, and Riley found a hiding spot along the riverbank, concealed by the shadows of the dense forest. Flashlight beams approached from a distance, cutting through the darkness. Evan's mind raced as he prepared to face their pursuers.“We have to make a decision here,” Evan said with determination. “We'll use a hit-and-run strategy. We need to strike quickly and then retreat. We'll whittle down their numbers and sow confusion.”Aria nodded, her eyes scanning the surroundings for strategic advantages. “Let’s set up some traps. If we can lure them in, we might be able to take out a few before they realize what's happening.”Riley, still feeling uneasy but trusting Evan’s leadership, prepared his equipment. “I may not be much help, but I’ll do my best.”Evan nodded. “Riley? You'll move with me and keep monitoring the comms. Aria will move on her own. Is that okay?”Aria looked at Evan and Riley. “No problem. Take care of yourselves.”They spread out, setting up traps with the limit
Evan slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing that greeted him was the system screen that suddenly appeared before him. The words on the screen made him pause for a moment. "Congratulations," the message read, "You have become the Guardian of Earth." His heart raced as he read those words, but before he could fully process it, the screen vanished, leaving behind a warm sensation that spread throughout his body. The warmth made him feel at peace, as if all the heavy burdens he had carried were suddenly lifted away. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a room that was familiar to him. The wooden ceiling adorned with classic carvings, the thick curtains framing the large window, and the distinctive aroma. This room was his at the Ironfist family's residence. Evan tried to get up from the bed, but the exhaustion still lingered throughout his body. "Evan..." A soft voice, full of emotion, called his name. He turned towards the voice and saw Aria standing at the doorway,
Victor observed the battlefield around him with a sharp gaze. His once-invincible army had now been shattered, defeated by the alliance of the Guardians and Ironfist Hunter. His body trembled, not only from exhaustion but also from the anger that was slowly taking over him. In his mind, he contemplated the chaos that had unfolded, realizing that his perfect plan had fallen apart. "I didn't expect them to get this far," he muttered cynically, his eyes fixed on Evan, who still stood firm before him. Every blow, every strike from Evan, felt increasingly heavy and powerful. Victor began to feel a pressure he had never experienced before. He, who had always considered himself invincible, was now feeling the push and panic. "Evan Walker... You turned out to be far stronger than I imagined," said Victor, his lips curling into a thin, hate-filled smile. He looked at Evan with eyes full of rage and determination. "But I won't give up that easily!" In a final attempt, Victor summoned the dar
Victor Draven stared intently at the man standing before him. Amidst the chaos and destruction of the battlefield, there was only one person capable of matching Victor's dark aura—Evan Walker. The man who had become a thorn in his side, the primary obstacle behind his failure to command the forces of darkness.All this time, Evan had thwarted every one of Victor's cunning plans, causing him to lose control over the immense power that should have been his. But now, the time had finally come. The moment Victor had long awaited, the moment when he could finally destroy the greatest obstacle in his life.Victor wasn't angry—no, instead, a thin smile formed on his tense lips. There was an indescribable joy on his face, like a child who had finally found the toy he had been searching for all along."Finally, we meet, Evan," Victor said, his voice low and deep, echoing in the brief silence that enveloped them. Victor's eyes glowed with dark joy, filled with anticipation for the battle to com
Aria and her comrades initially found a glimmer of hope through their solid teamwork. They moved in perfect synchronization, attacking Victor Draven from all sides. However, Victor had no intention of letting them achieve victory easily."Attack from every side! Don't give him any room to breathe!" Aria commanded firmly, her sword glowing with a fusion of wind and shadow energy.Hugo, with his fiery fists blazing, added, "We have to stop him now, or everything will be for nothing!"But Victor only smiled coldly. "Do you really think this is enough to stop me?" he whispered icily.It was then that Victor revealed his true power. With a single gesture, he manipulated the darkness. Shadows oozed from his body, engulfing everything around him. All the magic attacks launched by the elite Ironfist Hunter team seemed meaningless. The darkness swallowed all the spells and attacks, rendering their efforts futile as the battlefield was consumed by impenetrable shadows."This... can't be happeni
Victor Draven descended onto the battlefield after his forces began to falter. With a dark aura radiating from his body, he walked with barely contained rage. Each step he took shook the ground, emitting a terrifying energy that was immediately felt by everyone around him.As his feet touched the battleground, a powerful tremor was felt by all. The strong dark aura enveloped Victor's body, instilling fear in the hearts of his enemies. With a single hand gesture, he created a destructive vortex of energy, forcing the fighters from Blue Sky and Ironfist Hunter to retreat a few steps, while the previously cornered monster leaders fought back with renewed vigor."Everyone, get ready!" Aria shouted, her voice firm but tense. She knew they couldn't face Victor individually. "We must stop Victor from harming more guardians!""We have no choice but to hold our ground and fight with everything we've got!" Hugo replied, anger clear in his voice. "I'll distract him with my fire. Aria, you and th
In Arcadia City, Victor Draven stood at the edge of a towering building, his sharp eyes surveying the battlefield below. Initially, he was confident of an absolute victory. His army of various monstrous races had wreaked havoc across Arcadia, burning buildings and ruthlessly crushing their opponents. However, as time passed, that confidence began to wane, replaced by a creeping unease within him. The battle that once seemed like a sure victory was now turning into a fierce, evenly-matched struggle. The arrival of the Ironfist Hunter warriors had a tremendous impact that Victor had never anticipated. They came like an unexpected storm, wielding power and strategy that shifted the momentum of the battle. On the battlefield, the Ironfist Hunter showed their prowess. The elite warriors of Ironfist Hunter immediately rushed to assist the Blue Sky members, who were on the verge of despair while facing the monster leaders. Hugo and Jena, two formidable warriors from Ironfist Hunter, quickl
The once-balanced battle had now entered a terrifying new phase.The allied forces of the Blue Sky Guardians, who had initially managed to hold off the waves of monsters, were now being pushed back. The sheer number of enemies, combined with the strength of the monster leaders, forced them into a corner. Each of the monster leaders had descended onto the battlefield, causing chaos and complicating the situation for the elite Guardians, who had to divide their focus.Amon, with his magic whip writhing like a living serpent and his ability to control wild beasts, targeted the leader of the Minotaur race. This Minotaur was a giant, nearly unstoppable in its strength. Each swing of its axe shattered the ground and destroyed anything in its path. Amon, however, was a master tactician. He used his magic to tame the wild beasts around the battlefield, forcing them to attack the Minotaur from all directions, while his magic whip attempted to ensnare the giant’s legs. But Amon’s attacks seemed
That night in Arcadia City, the darkness was deeper than usual. The pitch-black sky was lit up by lightning and echoed with the roars of monsters reverberating through every corner of the city. The dimensional gate that had opened atop Victor Draven's building created an endless corridor, spewing forth a vast army of evil creatures onto the streets now filled with debris and smoke. The once majestic city had turned into a chaotic battlefield.At the Ironfist residence, the peaceful atmosphere that the elite members of the Ironfist Hunter, who had just returned from a long vacation, had hoped for was far from reality. They were greeted by a horrifying sight: their family members were locked in a fierce battle against a horde of relentless monsters. The formidable Ironfist family fighters were struggling against the seemingly endless waves of creatures.Seeing the battle before him, Zeke immediately gave a short and firm command. "Ironfist Hunter!! Forward!!"Without hesitation, the eli
After everything that had happened, after all the battles and sacrifices, Evan knew that his time in Lunaris was coming to an end. Even though he had achieved victory and brought peace to this world, there was an emptiness he could not ignore. He felt that there were still things left to do, other places that needed his presence—especially Earth, his home. Galathiel, the guardian who had guided him all this time, stood before Evan, a soft light emanating from his entire being. Galathiel’s gaze was filled with wisdom and understanding, as if he could see all the doubts lingering in Evan’s heart. "Evan," Galathiel began in a gentle voice that echoed throughout the temple, "you have done more than anyone could have hoped. You have protected this world and given new hope to its inhabitants. But I know, your heart does not fully reside here." Evan lowered his head slightly, feeling a mix of emotions weighing on him. "I feel that my task here is finished, and I need to return to Earth. T
