Denim closed his status window and took a deep breath. The Void Slayer Sword felt perfectly balanced in his hand, and the Lunar Armor Set fit him like a second skin. He could feel the increased power and agility coursing through him. The Corruption Ring glowed faintly, enhancing his magical abilities. Those items were given to him by his guild mates after defeating the corrupted tree, they are already well equipped so they all agreed to give all the loots to Denim and it was also thanks to his leadership they completed such difficult quest.
Stepping out onto the balcony, Denim looked over the bustling courtyard. His guild mates were preparing for the new threats, honing their skills, and organizing their supplies. Erik's words from the meeting echoed in his mind: "We face a grave threat. We need to gather allies, strengthen our defenses, and prepare for the worst."
Denim's resolve hardened. He knew the Void Creatures were a formidable enemy, but he was determined to protect his new world and friends. He had faced them before in his past life and had survived but with a great cost. This time, he had the knowledge and experience to turn the tide.
As the sun rose, casting a golden glow over the guild hall buzzed with activities as Denim Lab, now known as Shadow Splitter, stood at the balcony overseeing his team. The moon's silvery glow cast an ethereal light over the courtyard below, where guild members prepared for their upcoming mission.
"We're heading out soon," Denim announced, his voice carrying across the courtyard. "The reports of increased Void Creature activity demand swift action."

The indispensable trio who stood beside Denim, their expressions serious and determined. Around them, the newly assembled team of guild members—Lyra, Thorne, Helena, Kane, Aria, Gareth, Elena, Darius, Serena, and Felix—listened attentively.
Lyra, a young mage with a confident demeanor, stepped forward. "We've reviewed the intel gathered so far. The Void Creatures are growing stronger and more organized. Our priority is to secure Woodrow Village and gather any remaining villagers to safety."
Balmond, adjusting his armor with a determined nod, added, "Once we're on the ground, Thorne and I will provide cover fire while Aria scouts ahead for enemy movements."
"We'll need Helena to stay close," Miya chimed in, her eyes scanning the map spread out before them. "Keep your healing spells ready. Kane and Darius, prepare to defend our flanks."
Gareth, the cursemancer, spoke next, his voice steady with conviction. "Elena and I will focus on clearing any lingering dark magic in the village. Serena, be ready to counter any arcane threats."
Felix, the bard, strummed a soothing melody on his lute, his eyes flickering with determination. "I'll keep morale high and provide buffs as needed. Together, we'll show these creatures the strength of the Lunar Knights."
The team gathered their supplies and made final preparations, each member ensuring their equipment was in top condition. As dawn approached, they set out from the guild hall, their footsteps echoing through the quiet streets of Riverdale Town.
The journey to Woodrow Village was fraught with tension. They navigated rugged landscapes and encountered sporadic skirmishes with lesser creatures influenced by the Void's corruption. Lyra's elemental spells crackled through the air, Thorne's arrows found their marks with precision, and Aria moved like a ghost through the shadows, scouting ahead and neutralizing threats.
Upon reaching Woodrow Village, they were met with scenes of devastation—burned homes, abandoned belongings, and frightened villagers huddled together for safety. The village elder approached them, his weathered face reflecting both relief and apprehension.
"Thank you for coming," the elder said, his voice trembling slightly. "The attacks have intensified since your last visit. The creatures... they seem driven by a malevolent force."
Denim nodded solemnly, his gaze sweeping over the village square where a dark symbol was etched into the ground—a sinister mark of the Void Creatures.
"We'll do everything we can to protect you," Denim assured the elder, his voice firm. "But first, we need to gather more information about these attacks. Any details you can provide might help us identify their leader."
As the guild members dispersed to secure the village perimeter and tend to the villagers, Denim turned to Miya and Zhouxin, their expressions mirrored his concern.
"The Void Creatures are more organized than we anticipated," Zhouxin observed quietly, his analytical mind already processing the situation.
Miya nodded, her hand resting on the hilt of her sword. "We'll need to stay vigilant. With this many casualties, these creatures are becoming more ruthless, and we need to stop them before they get to control the whole region.
Just as Denim was about to give the order to scout the outskirts, a villager approached, his face pale with fear. "Sir Shadow Splitter," he stammered, "there's something you need to see."
Following the villager through the wreckage, Denim and his team arrived at a hidden chamber beneath the village. Inside, they discovered ancient writings and artifacts—evidence of a forgotten history that connected the Void Creatures to the land itself.
"This changes everything," Denim whispered, tracing his fingers over the engravings. "The Void Creatures aren't just invaders. They have a history here, a purpose."
As they delved deeper into the chamber, they uncovered a map detailing ley lines and energy nodes scattered across the region. Each point marked a site of significant power, potentially used by the Void Creatures to strengthen their influence.
"This map," Zhouxin murmured, eyes alight with realization. "It's a guide to their next target. If they control these points, their power will be unmatched."
Denim's mind raced with strategies. "We can't allow that to happen. We need to disrupt their plans, starting with the nearest energy node."
Miya nodded firmly. "I'll lead a strike team to neutralize the node. Balmond, Thorne, Helena, and Aria, you're with me. We'll cut off their reinforcements and buy time for Denim and Zhouxin to pinpoint their leader."
As Miya's team prepared to depart, Denim turned to Zhouxin. "We need to find their leader. Someone is orchestrating this, and they won't stop until they've conquered everything in their path."
Zhouxin nodded, his mind already strategizing their next move. "I'll analyze the ley lines and cross-reference with our intel. With luck, we'll identify their stronghold before they can react."
With their plans set in motion, Denim watched as Miya's strike team vanished into the wilderness, their resolve echoing through the chamber. He knew the upcoming battle would be their toughest yet, but they had the advantage of surprise and determination.
As night fell over Woodrow Village, Denim stood on the balcony once more, gazing at the stars. The fate of their world hung in the balance, and he was determined to lead the Lunar Knights to victory, no matter the cost.
