As the trio entered the village, the red alarm ceased, and the villagers gathered around them. The village head, a hooded figure, stepped forward.
"Who are you?" the village head asked, eyeing Rishi, Kaidō, and Lyra suspiciously.
Rishi hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. But something about the village head's gaze put him at ease.
"I am Rishi, son of Xandros," he said finally. "We come from a realm beyond yours, seeking to defeat Malum and Zero."
The village head's expression changed from suspicion to surprise.
"Malum and Zero?" he repeated. "You mean the Dark Lords?"
Kaidō and Lyra nodded in unison.
The village head chuckled, a hint of mischief in his voice.
"Ah, even if you serve the evil AI Lord Malum and his master Zero, your powers won't work here. Our mysterious artifact ensures only our powers prevail."
Rishi's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"
The village head smiled, pulling back his hood to reveal piercing green eyes.
"We are necromancers, masters of the dead. Our unique skills and traits make us the only ones who can wield power in this realm."
Lyra's eyes widened. "Necromancers? But that's impossible. You're using dark magic."
The village head shrugged. "Call it what you will. We've protected this realm for centuries, keeping Malum and Zero's influence at bay."
Kaidō's grip on his sword tightened. "We need to be careful. We don't know what we're up against."
Rishi nodded, his mind racing with possibilities.
"Let's hear them out," he said finally. "We might find unexpected allies in this mysterious realm."
Rishi grinned mischievously at Kaidō and Lyra. "We're powerful enough to take down this village, but I sense something mysterious here. They're not aligned with Malum and Zero, and their unique traits could be valuable assets."
Kaidō raised an eyebrow. "You mean, we should recruit one of them?"
Rishi nodded enthusiastically. "Exactly! Imagine having a necromancer on our team. We'd be unstoppable – a Shadow Lord, a Vampire Leader, a Time Empress, and a Necromancer Monarch!"
Lyra's eyes sparkled with excitement. "That would be incredible!"
But their joyful conversation was cut short by the village head's angry outburst.
"What are you three doing?!" he thundered, his face red with rage. "You think you can just waltz in here and start discussing killing us?"
Rishi's grin faltered, and he turned to face the village head. "Wait, I can explain –"
But the village head cut him off. "No, you will listen! I am Arin, the leader of this village, and we have protected this realm for centuries. We will not be intimidated by your boasts of power."
Arin's eyes narrowed. "But I sense something different about you three. You're not like the others who have come before. Tell me, who are you, really?"
Rishi exchanged a glance with Kaidō and Lyra before launching into an explanation of their quest and their unique abilities. Arin listened intently, his expression unreadable
Here is the continuation:
Rishi took a deep breath, his eyes locked onto Arin's. "Yes, it's true. I'm the recreation of Akari, the Great Shadow Lord, but I'm not just a copy - I'm the purest form of him. And Kaidō, he's not just a leader, he's the real AI Lord Kaidō, the creator of the Eternal Resonance System."
Arin's eyes widened further, his mind struggling to comprehend the truth.
Rishi continued, "The Eternal Resonance System was created by Archon, but its power comes from the merge of Kaidō's and Archon's abilities. That's why we're here, to fulfill the prophecy and defeat Malum and Zero."
Kaidō nodded, his expression solemn. "I had foreseen my own downfall, but I also saw a chance to redeem myself. I am in a device where I can leave and after Rishi becomes 18 , I come in front of Rishi and explain him , with a Archon help to us by give this system to us And now, with Rishi as the recreation of Akari, we have the power to defeat our enemies."
Lyra's eyes sparkled with understanding. "That's why we're so strong together. We're the combination of Akari's power, Kaidō's creation, and Archon's expertise."
Arin's face set in determination. "Then we will help you. We'll do everything in our power to aid you in your quest to defeat Malum and Zero."
The trio nodded, a sense of unity and purpose filling the air. Together, they would face whatever challenges lay ahead, armed with the truth and the power of the Eternal Resonance System. Then say we want to most strongest of necromacer to join my family eternal resonance
