Michi, Appolo, Thelma, and Henu journeyed on, their next destination being Lakanrak city.
As they walked, they stumbled upon a ruin of an old castle, hidden behind a thick veil of
foliage. Appolo's eyes widened, and he whispered, "Nazdahara castle, the legendary
stronghold of King Azdaram."
Michi looked at Appolo with curiosity, and Appolo continued, "You heard about the king
who had the seven sins power 1000 years ago, right? So this is the ruin of his castle, where
he once ruled with an iron fist."
Thelma's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Why not go and check it? You already told me
everything, so let's check it. We'll be lucky if we get some information about the ancient
civilization."
Michi nodded, and they ventured into the ruins, their footsteps echoing through the
desolate halls. The air was thick with an eerie silence, and the only sound was the
crunching of gravel beneath their feet.
As they explored the ruins, they stumbled upon ancient writings etched into the walls,
telling the tale of a King's rise and fall. Nobody understood what they meant, but Michi's
eyes widened as he approached the writings. "I can read it," he said, "but I don't
understand what it is. It's like a language I've never seen before."
Appolo and the others looked at Michi with surprise, and Michi continued, "I don't know
why I can read it, but these writings are very difficult to read… Wait, wait, there's
something…the King … got the sins powers to…"
Suddenly, a blast rocked the ruins, sending Michi and his friends tumbling to the ground.
The same shadow figure from the end of Spirit nation appeared, its presence ominous.
"You can't know too much," the shadow figure growled, "and if you know too much, then
you have to die."
The shadow summoned a horde of skeletons, their bony hands grasping weapons. "Attack
them," the shadow commanded.
Michi, Appolo, Thelma, and Henu stood ready, their hearts pounding with anticipation. They
knew they had to face whatever lay ahead, together.
As the skeletons closed in, Michi's scythe flashed in the dim light, ready to strike. Appolo's
flames danced on his fingertips, while Thelma's thorns bristled with deadly intent. Henu's
eyes gleamed with a fierce determination, his fists clenched.
Michi, Appolo, Thelma, and Henu stood ready, their eyes fixed on the horde of skeletons
before them. The air was electric with tension as the two sides clashed in a flurry of steel
and flame. The skeletons were relentless, their bony bodies seemingly impervious to pain.
Michi's scythe sliced through the skeletons with deadly precision, but there were too many
of them. Appolo's flames danced across the room, engulfing several skeletons at once, but
they just kept coming. Thelma's thorns ripped through the skeletons' bony flesh, but they
didn't seem to feel any pain. Henu's fists crushed the skeletons' skulls, but they just
wouldn't stay down.
As the battle raged on, the four friends began to tire. Michi's scythe was covered in cracks,
Appolo's flames were dwindling, Thelma's thorns were broken and battered, and Henu's
fists were bruised and bloody. But they refused to give up.
Just when it seemed like the tide was turning in their favor, the remaining skeletons joined
together, forming a massive skeleton unlike anything they had ever seen. Its bones were as
black as coal, and its eyes glowed with an eerie red light.
The four friends stood before it, their bodies bruised and battered. Michi's scythe was
trembling in his hand, Appolo's flames were flickering, Thelma's thorns were limp, and
Henu's fists were shaking.
But they knew they had to keep fighting. With a fierce cry, they charged at the massive
skeleton, determined to take it down.
The battle was intense, with the four friends fighting for their lives. Michi's scythe sliced
through the skeleton's ribs, Appolo's flames engulfed its skull, Thelma's thorns ripped
through its spine, and Henu's fists crushed its pelvis.
But the skeleton just wouldn't die. It swung its massive fists, sending Michi flying across the
room. It stomped its foot, creating a shockwave that sent Appolo tumbling to the ground. It
swung its ribcage, knocking Thelma's thorns out of her hand. And it kicked Henu with its
bony leg, sending him crashing into the wall.
The four friends struggled to get back to their feet, but the skeleton was too powerful. It
raised its foot, ready to deliver the final blow.
Michi, Appolo, Thelma, and Henu stood ready, their eyes fixed on the massive skeleton
before them. The air was electric with tension as the two sides clashed in a flurry of steel
and flame. The skeleton was relentless, its bony body seemingly impervious to pain.
The fight was Intense, with the four friends fighting for their lives. Michi's claymore sliced
through the skeleton's ribs, Appolo's flames engulfed its skull, Thelma's thorns ripped
through its spine, and Henu's fists crushed its pelvis.
But the skeleton just wouldn't die. It swung its massive fists, sending Michi flying across the
room. It stomped its foot, creating a shockwave that sent Appolo tumbling to the ground. It
swung its ribcage, knocking Thelma's thorns out of her hand. And it kicked Henu with its
bony leg, sending him crashing into the wall.
Suddenly Michi reached deep within himself and unleashed the power of his claymore. A
blast of energy shot out of his body, striking the skeleton with incredible force.
The skeleton stumbled backwards, its bones cracking and shattering. Michi took advantage
of the distraction, striking the skeleton with all his might. Finally, with a mighty blow, Michi
slashed the skeleton's head and crushed it with his claymore.
As the skeleton collapsed to the ground, Michi's forehead stone turned golden. But his
victory was short-lived, as the shadow reappeared and started to choke him from behind.
Appolo and the others rushed to save Michi, but the shadow was too powerful. It went into
Michi's mouth and started to cut him from the inside out. Blood came out from everywhere,
and Michi's face seemed weak as the blood flowed continuously.
Just as all hope seemed lost, a golden light dropped from above and enveloped Michi's
body. The shadow screamed in agony and came out of Michi's mouth, and Michi turned
unconscious due to severe pain. But his wounds started to heal, and his body began to
glow with a soft, golden light.
The shadow screamed and cursed, "Curses on you all, you fakes!" before turning into dust.
Appolo carried Michi on his lap, and the others watched in awe as Michi regained his
consciousness. Suddenly, a young boy with cat ears and a tail appeared out of nowhere
and said, "You should say thank you to me for saving him nya."
Michi looked up at the boy and asked, "Who are you?"
The boy smiled and said, "The holder of the gem of pride, Nian! Nya!"
And with that, a new chapter in Michi's journey began.
