"Now, Arise! Grim-Thorn, show them the reason why you were seen as a God!"

In the wake of this sublime chaos, Nobu and Magnus stand in reverent silence, humbled by the overwhelming manifestation of the godlike might. Their mortal frames shiver in the presence of a being beyond their comprehension, as the world around them surrenders to a symphony of destruction, echoing the inexorable ascent of this wretched deity.

This abominable creature stands at a towering height of 18 meters, casting a long, eerie shadow across its surroundings. Its body grotesquely combines human and animal elements, leaving a disconcerting impression on any unfortunate soul who lays eyes upon it. The Grim-Thorn's torso, resembling that of a muscular human, is marred by two deep slashes that crisscross its chest, serving as a haunting reminder of a past battle.

Its head, dominated by the terrifying visage of a wolf, exudes an air of malevolence. The crimson eyes burn with an otherworldly intensity, reflecting

He adds, pointing at the Grim Thorns behind him. "What are you..." Magnus, taken aback by Nobu's sudden stammer and the piercing gaze that bore into his soul, finds himself at a loss for words.

    "Satomi?" Reina stammers, his voice barely audible over the cacophony of the collapsing building. He looks at her with a mix of surprise and concern, struggling to comprehend her presence in this perilous situation. "What are you doing here?" "Saving your butt," Satomi replies, her voice resolute and unwavering. She refuses to let her emotions seep through, channeling all her focus into their desperate escape. Reina halts abruptly, his pain momentarily overshadowing his determination. He gestures for Satomi to leave him behind, his voice tinged with despair. "Satomi... Look, I'm slowing you down. Just let me die... Leave me here and save yourself." "There's no point in saving someone who can't get out of harm's way on his own..." His words hang heavy in the air, carrying a sense of resignation and self-doubt. Satomi's eyes widen in shock, and an unwelcome surge of thoughts floods her mind. She never expected to hear such despair from someone she holds dear. "Shut... Shut your mou

With a measured tone, Shinso broaches the subject. "You know the Sacred Forest, right?" he inquires, his voice laden with an undercurrent of concern. Kaeya, his countenance betraying a flicker of amusement, responds, "You mean what remains of the once Sacred Forest? Of course, I am acquainted with it. But what troubles you?" Shinso's voice grows quieter, his words punctuated by a tinge of gravity. "We dispatched several scouts to investigate the forest," he continues, "Yet, regrettably, none of them returned, except for a solitary individual." A touch of somberness colors Kaeya's v

    As Ashide realizes the need to compose herself, her eyes widen, and she abruptly halts the gentle patting of Nobu's hair. She brings her hand to her mouth, her voice barely audible as she speaks, "Oh, yes, I must gather my composure." With a deliberate "Ahem!" Ashide clears her throat, projecting her voice with regal authority. "Welcome, my dear children, to the Capital of the Fire Kingdom. I, Queen Ashide, am truly honored to have such courageous and strong-hearted youngsters like you as the protectors of our beloved lands!" She pauses for a moment, her gaze sweeping over each member of the group, conveying a sense of genuine appreciation. Then, stretching her hand toward the grand entrance of the castle, she continues, "Now, allow me to guide you through the halls and unveil the wonders that lie within."

    "Kokoa The Maroon Empress! I'm 27 years old. Pleasured to make your acquaintance!" "No, no..." replies Nobu, his voice brimming with boldness. "I didn't ask who you are! I said, what are..." Before he can finish his sentence, Satomi swiftly appears from behind and silences him, her right hand firmly pressed against his mouth. With her left arm securely wrapped around his body, she seeks to restrain his outburst. "My sincerest apologies for our comrade's misguided behavior, Your Majesty," Satomi expresses, her embarrassment evident in her tone. "We will make every effort to ensure he regains his composure." "He has committed a most egregious act, as you have just witnessed," interjects Ashide, her usual joyful demeanor replaced with a flicker of irritation. She gracefully approaches Nobu and Satomi, delicately lifting the folds of her dress. "I wonder if I should even consider forgiving you for this unforgivable transgression!"

"Did it take you long to come up with an idea for your outfit? I feel like I'll be spending quite some time designing mine." Osamu chuckles softly, his eyes gleaming with a hint of nostalgia. "To be honest, Master Shinso designed my outfit for me," he reveals. "So I suppose I can't really answer that question." "Master Shinso?" Reina repeats, surprise coloring his voice. "Was Master Shinso your mentor as well?" "Yes, he was," Osamu confirms with a warm chuckle. "And being his only student at that time certainly had its challenges." Reina jumps to his feet, a mix of astonishment and curiosity evident on his face. "Hold on a minute! You're 24 year

I'm so tired," she confesses, her voice laced with the weight of her struggles.

Nobu, his eyes filled with empathy, halts his consumption of the chocolate treat, recognizing the gravity of Kokoa's fatigue.

His presence is an oddity, a juxtaposition of power and smallness that disrupts the onlookers' equilibrium.

    Thoughts whirl through Project5's mind as he analyzes the situation. "That blond kid," he ponders, his gaze fixated on Reina, "He possesses immense magical energy... It's overwhelming. He must be the arcane boy that Warhammer boasts about.""As for the other one..." Turning his attention to Nobu, Project5 continues his mental evaluation. "He seems to possess demon powers, yet I sense no trace of magical energy emanating from his being. How is that possible?""Regardless, it matters not. I will put an end to all of them now!"A bone-chilling silence descends upon the battlefield, none daring to interrupt the eerie calm. Raising his hand, Project5 channels a thunderbolt, mercilessly hurling it toward Nobu. Yet, in the blink of an eye, Nobu vanishes from sight, leaving Project5 bewildered. "Huh?" Project5 mutters, an awkward giggle escaping his lips. "I didn't see that coming...""You never will," Nobu's voice reverberates, his sudden reappearance behind his foe catching Project5 off gua

    42- Reunion

    With a solemn exchange, Kira traded the lives of six destitute minions of Warhammer, breathing life into the inert bodies of his five creations. Each of these projects had their memories painstakingly altered to satiate the insatiable desires of Warhammer. However, apart from Project2 and Project5, the others possessed the lingering ability to recall their names. In the grip of Warhammer's power, Kira had languished for countless years, unable to resist, for he harbored a paralyzing fear of losing his own life should he dare to defy the demon's commands. As time wore on, Kira's resentment toward Nobu swelled, the anticipation of their inevitable confrontation fueling the fire within him. He longed for the moment when he could unleash his pent-up emotions upon the very embodiment of paradise's annihilator, the creator of the dust village.

    40- Long Time No See

    Sayuri stands resolute, unwavering in her determination, as she navigates the treacherous path before her. Instead of relying on mere speed and agility, she harnesses the power of her shadow hands, using them to propel herself forward with astonishing swiftness. In her pursuit of the road that Kaeya once treads, she ventures deeper into the darkened tunnel, a wide crack in the floor serving as her guide. Suddenly, from the depths of the earth, a grotesque monstrosity emerges, its malformed figure lurching towards her with a gaping maw poised to devour. Time seems to slow as the monstrous jaws close in, threatening to consume our courageous heroine.
