Inside the hidden chamber, Ace Kurotsuchi's battle against the unbreakable seal continued, even as time raced by at an accelerated pace. His initial efforts had caused the ancient seal to crack, offering a glimmer of hope for escape. However, the seal's resilience soon became apparent. As Ace poured his energy into weakening the seal, he watched in frustration as the cracks that had given him hope began to mend themselves. The seal's malevolent magic was unyielding, and it seemed to repair any damage inflicted upon it. Ace gritted his teeth, realizing that despite the accelerated time, the seal remained an insurmountable obstacle. The chamber's stone walls, which had aged rapidly, now showed no signs of their previous wear and tear as the temporal anomaly within the chamber persisted. Outside the chamber, Zara, the Council of Captains, and Kyokuske continued their efforts to locate Yua and the missing amulet. Unaware of the temporal shift occurring within the chamber, they pressed forward with determination, each passing moment moving ten times slower for them than it did for Ace. Kyokuske focused intently on his dimensional magic, still hoping to trace Yua's location. Zara and the captains discussed their next steps, strategizing on how best to confront the looming threat of Malachar and his Covenant of Shadows.
Inside the chamber, Ace's frustration grew as he realized that the cracks in the seal had been restored to normal. His hopes of escape had been dashed, and he remained trapped within the malevolent magic that bound him. Yet, Ace's determination remained unbroken. He knew that even with time moving at an accelerated pace, he had to find a way to break free and confront Malachar before the darkness could engulf all realms. The battle against the unyielding seal continued, and the fate of the demon realm and other dimensions hung in the balance.
