Chapter 36 - Chapter 36

In the distance, two figures soared toward them with alarming speed. The Guardian of the Void and his creator, or master, landed before them, bearing grim news. "There is bad news," the Guardian of the Void announced solemnly as he touched down.

With a heavy heart, the Guardian revealed that the realm barrier had been breached by the Void, allowing him and his formidable army to penetrate the human realm. The news struck fear into their hearts, knowing they now faced an even greater threat than before.

As the Guardian of the Void and his master stood before them, an ominous atmosphere descended upon the group. "We must gather our forces and prepare for battle," Kieran declared, his voice resolute.

"That's nonsense," Jade interjected. "Talking about gathering forces as if the Void and his army will attack from only one direction. If you had asked, I would have suggested a more strategic approach."

"So it has already begun," the creator of the Guardian of the Void stated with a deep resonance in his voice. "We have prepared for this moment for centuries. The prophecies of the ancients foretold of this day, of the breaking of the realm barrier and the invasion of the Void into our world."

Kieran and his companions listened intently, recognizing the significance of the ancient prophecies. "It is said that only through unity and strength of purpose can the forces of darkness be defeated," the creator continued. "We must stand together, united in our cause, or all will be lost."

With newfound determination, Kieran nodded in agreement. "We will honor the prophecies of the ancients and fight as one to defend our realm from the Void," he declared.

"You don't understand, do you? Fine, do as you please. I will strike out on my own," Jade retorted. "But don't underestimate me." With a surge of energy, Jade's form began to transform, imbued with primal power. His eyes blazed with fury as he turned toward the Guardian of the Void and his master, emitting a fierce growl.

Taken aback, the Guardian and his master stepped back, realizing they had underestimated Jade's strength. "What sorcery is this?" the Guardian exclaimed as he recoiled.

"I will do what is necessary and buy us time to plan," Jade declared before taking flight, unleashing a devastating stream of energy toward a portion of the Void army. With fierce determination, Jade wreaked havoc among their ranks, causing chaos and confusion.

The Void and his forces watched in horror as their soldiers fell before Jade's unleashed power, recognizing him as a formidable adversary. In a desperate attempt to regain control, Number 1 summoned dark energy to counter Jade's attack.

However, Jade only grew more powerful as he tapped into his inner strength, fighting with unmatched ferocity. With each strike, he carved a path of destruction through the Void army, his roars echoing across the battlefield.

When the dust settled, Jade stood victorious, panting heavily as he surveyed the aftermath. The Guardian of the Void and his master could only glare in defeat, realizing they had underestimated Jade's true power.

With a triumphant roar, Jade turned back to Kieran and his companions, his eyes ablaze with determination. "Let them come," he declared, his voice echoing with primal energy. "I will unleash my power upon the Void and defend our realm with all that I have."

As he readied himself for battle, a memory flashed through Jade's mind – the hidden sanctuary where the last ancient dragon had trained him before disappearing. It was a place of safety, a refuge for all beings in the human realm. With sudden inspiration, Jade turned to Kieran and his companions, hope gleaming in his eyes.

"We must seek out the hidden sanctuary," Jade urged urgently. "It is where we can regroup, strategize, and gather our strength to face the Void army. It may be our only chance to defeat them."

Kieran and the others nodded in agreement, recognizing the wisdom in Jade's words. Together, they set off in search of the hidden sanctuary, guided by Jade's primal instincts.

After a perilous journey through winding paths and hidden passages, they reached the sanctuary's entrance. Stepping inside, a wave of tranquility washed over them, enveloping them in peace and protection.

In the heart of the sanctuary, they found a chamber adorned with ancient runes and symbols glowing with ethereal light. It was a place of magic, of ancient wisdom and untapped potential.

Soon Jade saw a being in this empty realm The three emperors quickly recognize the person that just appeared before them, but what it does next surprise everyone in the place, "Lord Jade welcome back to the empty realm"

The being's voice echoed through the chamber, filling Jade and the others with a sense of both surprise and relief. "Lord Jade, we have been awaiting your return," the being said with reverence.

Jade's eyes widened in astonishment. "How do you know me?" he asked, his voice filled with a mixture of curiosity and caution.

The being, an ancient and ethereal figure, smiled warmly. "I have watched over you, Lord Jade, as you walked the path of strength and power. Your courage and determination have not gone unnoticed in the realm of the ancients but what makes you popular is because the last ancient dragon brought you here when you were being trained."

Kieran and his companions looked on in awe, realizing that they were in the presence of a powerful ally. "Who are you?" Kieran inquired, his voice filled with respect.

"I am known as the Guardian of the Sanctuary, a keeper of ancient knowledge and protector of these hallowed grounds, or you can also called me Alister Heart" the being replied. "I have been tasked with guiding those who seek refuge and strength in times of darkness."

Jade's eyes gleamed with newfound hope. "We come seeking refuge and guidance in our battle against the Void," he explained. "Will you aid us in our quest to defend our realm?"

The Guardian of the Sanctuary nodded solemnly. "I sense the urgency of your mission and the weight of the impending battle," he said. "Rest assured, Lord Jade, Kieran, and companions, you have my support and the power of this sanctuary behind you."

With a sense of renewed purpose, Jade and the others prepared themselves for the coming struggle. The Guardian of the Sanctuary bestowed upon them ancient blessings and knowledge, guiding them in their preparations for the confrontation with the Void.

As they stood together in the sanctuary, united in their cause, a sense of unity and strength filled their hearts. They knew that they were not alone in this battle, for they had found an unexpected ally in the Guardian of the Sanctuary.
