The Ring of Power 37: Again to the rescue
At dawn the next day, around 6:00 in the morning, Max woke up abruptly, when the first ray of light filtered through the heavy curtains of his room. He felt a strange and powerful heat enveloping his body, radiating from the ring he still wore on his finger, in the same place as always. He opened his eyes slowly, feeling the power of the ring take over his entire being, his energy that was previously depleted, now beginning to flow with overwhelming intensity.The ring shone with a very intense light, much more intense than before, it ran through his entire body, as if it wanted to take over him at that very moment.As he sat up in bed, Max felt his body transform. His muscles, which had previously been sore and weak, were filled with strength and vitality. The fatigue disappeared completely, replaced by a vigorous energy that made him feel as if he was capable of facing any challenge that stood in his way. He looked at his hands, observed how his skin recovered that skin tone that he
The Ring of Power 38: The Threshold of the Final Battle
Max separated from Selene, feeling firmness run through his body, and a lot of nervousness, since now, he was about to face his destiny, this was one of those most difficult battles to live through in his life, this was one of those enemies of the ones you feel like you'll never get rid of, not so easily.The portal began to materialize in the center of the room, opening like a kind of bright crack that flashed with colors that seemed to come from the farthest reaches of the universe. The guardians extended their arms towards the sky, they channeled all of his power into the energy necessary to keep it open for as long as was enough while Max managed to cross the threshold.The bodies of the guardians trembled incessantly as the energy converted into magic, it seemed that they were in the middle of a trance that was difficult to control."It's now or never. "Wish me luck," Max murmured to Selene, and immediately, she responded with a small kiss on the lips that caused a tender smile t
The Ring of Power 39: Victory is coming
Then, Max looked at the weapons carefully, feeling the enormous energy they gave off, and he quickly knew that those were not simple combat tools. Those weapons were devices of destruction that channeled the primordial energy of the Xal'Thar dimension in order to function perfectly.A direct confrontation with them could be so devastating that it would even cause the end of the world. Not only for the dimension of less suitable.The warrior took a step forward, noticing how the ring on his finger reacted to the magic of nuclear weapons, this ring shone brightly, reflecting a pure white light that also contrasted with the darkness of the place. He could feel a power flowing through him, but he also knew that he would have to control it carefully if he wanted to survive."Don't be an idiot, do you really think that with your alien toys they can stop me?", Max asked, his voice remaining firm against the tension that was forming between him and the aliens. His eyes couldn't bear the idea
The Ring of Power 40: The Portal of Doom
Xal'Thar let a laugh that didn't seem funny escape his lips, for Max, that laugh was extremely cruel, cold and resonated with a kind of disturbing energy for him. Max, who was still keeping his guard up, felt a huge chill run down his spine. He had a feeling that something was not right. Xal'Thar did not seem defeated, he did not even seem to feel dejected by the loss of his guardians. In fact, his laugh was that of someone who claimed that he had just executed the last part of a carefully laid plan."Yes, you are very optimistic. Do you really think this is over, Max?", said the alien, with his voice low but full of malevolence that was heard loudly due to the emptiness that accompanied them in that place. — I don't mind losing those puppets. What you don't understand is that your children are already mine. They are not yours or your wife's. Now, they belong to me, and I will never return them to you.Max felt the greatest pain take over his body, his heart stopped for an instant. Hi
The Ring of Power 41: The Portal of Illusion: 48 Hours for Salvation
"No... I'm sorry, Selene. "I can't wait," Max said, feeling a lump form in his throat. His eyes fill with tears that he tries to contain. “I don't have time.” Xal'Thar has given me 48 hours. If he doesn't enter now, the portal will close and I won't be able to save them."I know... But there is another way. We have discovered it. Please trust me,” Selene responded, feeling her voice break to the point of crying. “Max, if you go in, you will be completely alone in that place, not even we will be able to save you.”Then, the warrior closed his eyes, trying to calm the internal storm that was consuming him little by little.The face of his children floated in his mind, their laughter, the games at home. The feeling of his small meekness as they clung to hers. The pain of not having them with him was totally unbearable. He couldn't wait. Time was very much against him."Max... Please, don't do it... Don't get in there", she insisted, with obvious pain in her voice. — Don't make me lose yo
The Ring of Power 42: A lost fight?
The warrior staggered, each breath a catatonic effort for him. Cold sweat covered his forehead. The distorted landscape before him did not help him think things through clearly and know what to do at that moment. From the shadows a figure emerged that made him shudder to the bone. That creature was also something Max was never prepared to face in battle.This figure painted a skin covered in shiny black scales, its red eyes burned very brightly, and in his hands, claws extended so long that it seemed they could tear reality itself. It was the last and most lethal envoy of Xal'Thar, an entity that promised to end everything, create chaos, and cause the end.His ring continued to shine, and it was there that Max closed his eyes, he asked the ring to transform into a lethally powerful weapon that could serve as a defense to finish off that enemy without it ending up finishing him off. His wishes were orders, and Max gripped the strong, imposing sword that was drawn in his hand.The beast
The Ring of Power 43: Sparks of hope
It was like this that Selene lowered her gaze, she felt unable to hold her gaze on the intensity of her husband's eyes, those that always looked at her with a mixture of love and fidelity, but that from the first moment her children were kidnapped and they began to live that war that never seemed to have an end, those eyes began to look at her with devotion and courage, and then, for her it was evident that she could not find the right words to answer Max's questions without his reaction being hurt."Max... I... I'm very sorry, but...", she began to speak, with a lump forming in her throat.—Our children... They...Then, the warrior felt his heart stop beating for a second. Anguish began to rise through his chest, causing his patience to be lost at that moment. It was as if an invisible claw was squeezing her soul."What's wrong with them, Selene?" Max said, speaking with a tone of voice that seemed to want to remain firm, however, she was shaking strongly. The warrior, who had faced b
The Ring of Power 44: The Weight of Betrayal
After listening to everything, the warrior felt that a powerful energy emerged from within him and ran through his entire body. It was a force that came not only from the love for his children, but also from the loyalty that the Guardians felt towards him, and the unconditional support from Selene. He knew that this mission would be the most dangerous, one of the strongest and most unpredictable of all time. Something deep inside him told him that this could be the destiny of his children, that it depended on this new opportunity for them to survive and return to them without having any intention of ever leaving them again."Max... I have to talk to you, alone. "It's very important that we talk before this battle," Lyra objected, looking at Max very seriously.The Guardians looked at each other, and decided to walk away before Lyra could ask them to leave. Max looked at Selene when he heard Lyra, Selene nodded, gave him a kiss very close to the corner of her mouth, and left the bed
