Prometheus walked fast to the throne room where the King was meeting with his head warriors all sitting around a table. Prometheus had barged in pushing a guard against the door opening it violently. "Sorry about that your man here tried to stop me! Seems no one wants to survive this ordeal coming our way" he yelled staring at the king who was now standing. "Prometheus? What are you doing here?" He asked with a stern voice. "Well I was looking for the King Slayer and my sister…seems I found neither. But I did find a plot and it was to open the Onyx Wall" he explained. The king nodded, "Who did it?!" He asked with a serious tone. "The man I faced disguised himself as one of yours. Must of been doing it for a long while as well. He was with two others I don't believe they had any clue as to what was happening. I observed them for a while. Luckily I took a shot using a teleportation and direction spell to get here. Which is not easy I only planned to follow your warriors here" he said with annoyance. "You do not make it easy to find this place" he told him. The king nodded, "But the corrupted will find this place anyway. Drawn to the pure chi of my warriors. It will draw them here and we will be overrun with them" he gestured to a guard, "Raise all defenses. Prepare for a long siege. Send out word to other towers and villages they need to seek shelter in the mountains" the guard nodded. "I need all information from familiars we have out there. All birds are to be utilized" he said to the warriors at the table. "Now on to business King. Where is the King Slayer?" Prometheus asked. The king was silent for a moment. "Training I believe. He is my guest till he chooses to leave. I imagine that departure is not far in the future if we survive this" he told him.
"Oh he most definitely will I am ordered to bring him back to the test immediately" he bluntly commanded. He pushed his glasses up his nose. "Will the World give us aide if asked?" The king said folding his hands behind his back. "Yes. You are our ally after all. That however remains to be seen at the moment though. Did you have anything to do with my sister's scheme in taking the King Slayer and his guard?" He asked. 'Activate Truth Seer!' He thought to his grimoire. "No. I did not. Merely gave them shelter and access to all recourses in continuing their cultivation. That is all" the King spoke true. 'So he speaks the truth. That's good. I always liked him' Prometheus thought. He gave him a nod, "Good. Yes, you will have aide if needed. I will leave you to prepare for battle. I need to speak with the King Slayer" he said turning to leave.
The king sighed, "I want a record of the supplies we have in storage, fresh water, and chi stones" he told one of his men. They nodded and rushed out of the room. "All dismissed. I want reports every hour and I want everyone up and ready for a fight" he told them. They all nodded.

Red Demon was sitting in his guest room as he had a carcass of an Ash Bat cut up into ingredients. He read through the scrolls over night and was ready to experiment. He had the bones, flesh, soul core, and a bowl of the black blood next to it.
After reading through the scrolls he realized the technique of Myth Forging was similar to his inscription method to make his odachi Demon's Wrath. Using his blood enriched with chi to create runes, but the only difference with is the use of the body parts. The beast had to be broken down into useable parts and fused together. Thinking of the shape you wanted to forge it into. He decided to make this creature into a cloak, or long jacket. Giving a light weight garment for armor. He also had a spell ready to amplify the creatures natural abilities.
The other difference was also the use of the Soul Core. He picked up an orb the size of his fist it was blue and black. Looked like a swirling galaxy of color in the palm of the hand. He placed it into the bowl of blood. He then seeped his chi over it and broken it down with his own pressure. This required the aura to be at a high level over the beast. The orb began to liquify and melt into the blood. The black blood then turned bright blue and was swirling with chi as it began to glow. He then dipped two fingers into the blood and then began to draw a rune over the body parts. The beast parts then stirred and began to liquify merging together. He kept up with the drawing of the runes till he got to the end. He then placed his hands on either side expanded his aura and began to make the now fused mass float between his hands. He also used his telekinesis to make it spin as he began to work together by force. The mass then turned into a sphere and began to glow red. Indicating that he was now connected to the creation.
The mass then morphed into a block then flat as a sheet as it widened out. The flat mass then became flowing like fabric extendin out into a half circle edges. Then a long collar coming out of the top putting hole where the head would go. He then made the blood float up into a mass and then he fused into the fabric.
The fabric then started to have a ripple go through it as runes flickered through out its surface. He waited for it to stabilize. After a few minutes the fabric seemed stable. He left it floating and stretched out. He created an ax from chi and then swung it at the fabric. The fabric ringed from the impact. It was saved by an invisible blue force. "Nice" he said out loud grabbing the cloak putting it over his head. He liked the feel of it. Luckily he had a store of mythical beast carcasses in his belt. Which cost him a hefty penny. He was able to obtain four ash bats, one hellhound, and four fog beasts.
He then folded the cloak laying it on his bed. He was interrupted when a knock came at his door. His instincts immediately went for Moon Ray laying on the bed. He could feel a great amount of chi on the other side of the door. He walked slowly to it and cracked open the door. Seeing a man with black short hair, in a suit with a long coat, glasses and a scruffy face. He smirked, "Well glad to find you at least. Even though the circumstances have drastically changed" he said pushing his glasses up his nose.
"Who the hell are you?" Red Demon asked in confusion. He had no clue who this man was, but looking into his eyes he knew if it came to a fight this man in front of him would most definitely kill him. 'He has to be a Primordial?' He thought. "May I come in?" Prometheus asked. Red Demon sighed and opened the door fully stepping aside.
The two sat down Red Demon on the bed with both swords on his lap. Prometheus sat on a chair from the single table. He crossed his leg over his knee and sighed. "So first off introductions are needed. My name is Prometheus. I serve the World as a cog in the universal machine. I have been sent to put you back on the track of the King's Test. Vacation is over" he told him with a stern voice. "I did not choose to come here if that is what your insinuating?" He said scowling at him. He didn't choose this and didn't ask to be stranded either. So naturally he was irritated. "Care to elaborate how it is you even got here then if you didn't?" He asked. Red Demon clenched his fist hard over the sheath of his sword. "I finished with the Emerald King waited and watched the Crowning ceremony from a far. Approached the Gate walked through it and was told by the Gate that they were asked to strand me here. I was attacked by a hooded woman and woke up in a strange place. Now I'm here…" he finished and waited. He did however hide his new element and the absorption of the temple.
"Well who was this mysterious woman?" Prometheus asked. "She called herself Sister Spinner" he said bluntly. Prometheus nodded and then shook his head, "Of course it was, and to be fair I knew this information already. Needed to see if you were in on it the World expects me to be thorough" he said annoyed. "Friend of yours?" Red Demon asked. "In a way yes. Were both children to the World. Adopted of course to be a functioning Primordial. See there are regular cultivating Primordials who serve the Regime and Functioning Primordials who keeps the wheels turning. Creating new realms, destinies, death, birth, etc. Sister Spinner's main function is Strings of Fate. Even in my home world we had similar beings.'
'Now she is many things, but reckless is not one. At least not on fiddling with the King's Test like this. She must have a reason for it? Did you possibly hear this reason?" Prometheus asked. Red Demon paused 'If I say anything next that doesn't fly I have no doubt this is gonna get bad' he thought. He sighed and hunched forward keeping his grip firm on the sword.
"You mean the fact that this whole thing is a show for the Regime? Or the fact I'm some glorified gladiator to watch?" His eyes started to glow red. 'Screw it. I'll fight him if I have too! I'll drain him dry!' He thought furiously.
