Chapter 42 - Where are my friends

Cardcrow's expression turned somber.

"Gojo, I must tell you something. Your friends, the ones you've been searching for... they're in grave danger."

Gojo's grip on his thumb tightened.

"What do you mean?"

Cardcrow took a deep breath.

"After the rebellion's defeat, Xandros' forces captured many of your comrades. Some were imprisoned, while others... were subjected to dark experiments."

Gojo's eyes blazed with intensity.

"Where are they?"

Cardcrow's voice was laced with regret.

"Most are held in Xandros' stronghold, the Black Citadel. But one of your closest friends... was taken by the Night King himself."

Gojo's face darkened.

"Which friend?"

Cardcrow hesitated.

"It's... Althea."

Gojo's eyes widened in horror.

"Althea? What did the Night King do to her?"

Cardcrow's words came slowly.

"The Night King... twisted her. Turned her into one of his dark knights."

Gojo's rage boiled over.

"I'll kill him. I'll destroy the Night King and Xandros' entire empire."

Cardcrow's expression turned resolute.

"I'll help you, Gojo. Together, we can free your friends and bring down the Dark Emperor."

Gojo's gaze locked onto Cardcrow.

"I'll hold you to that promise."

The Shadowhand Clan's figure emerged from the shadows.

"Cardcrow's words are truth, Gojo. But be warned: the Night King's powers have grown. You'll need all your strength to face him."

Gojo's determination hardened.

"I'll gather my allies and prepare for battle. Cardcrow, you'll lead me to Lyra and the Shadowhand Clan's resources."

Cardcrow nodded.

"Together, we'll bring darkness to the Dark Emperor's doorstep."

Cardcrow develops a sword with his technique and throws it to Gojo .

He said," Take this. You can manifest your powers through this sword . It will be really quick ."

Satoru took the sword in hand and started swinging like an expert .

Everyone was shocked to see him learn so quick .

Cardcrow: Let's move
