Rishi gathered his team, impressed by their progress. "You've all grown so strong, even without relying on your powers. You can now take down a Knight-level entity with ease."
Dhruv nodded, his necromancy skills honed. Anshika's mastery of dark magic had improved significantly. Lyra's time abilities were more precise, and Kaidō's vampire powers had reached new heights.
Rishi revealed a new plan, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "My father, Xandros, told me about a tournament happening in Frosthaven. We'll participate, but under super strength power . We don't want to reveal our true powers just yet."
The team agreed, intrigued by the prospect of competing incognito. they set out for Frosthaven's tournament, ready to face unknown challenges and uncover the secrets hidden within the realm.
Rishi's spaceship, the "Shadowstar," landed discreetly on the outskirts of Frosthaven Realm, far from the city's prying eyes. The team disembarked, their eyes scanning the unfamiliar surroundings.
With their aliases in place, they made their way to the tournament joining area, a grand structure at the city's center. They registered as new members, and after a brief processing, they received their tournament schedules.
"Alright, we have a few hours before our first match," Rishi said, studying the schedule. "Let's get some rest. We don't know what to expect in this tournament."
The team nodded in agreement. Dhruv and Anshika opted for a shared room, while Rishi, Kaidō, and Lyra chose single rooms to ensure privacy and focus.
As they settled in, Rishi's mind raced with strategies and possibilities. "This tournament could be a great opportunity to gather intel and test our skills against Frosthaven's warriors."
Kaidō smiled, his vampire instincts on high alert. "And perhaps we'll uncover some secrets hidden beneath the surface."
Lyra's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "The thrill of competition and the unknown – I can't wait to begin."
Rishi whispered to his team, "Get some rest, we have a big day tomorrow." But as they retired to their rooms, Rishi snuck out, determined to uncover Frosthaven's secrets.
Meanwhile, Lyra and Kaidō had similar ideas. They too slipped out of their rooms, seeking answers in the night.
Unbeknownst to each other, the three companions roamed the city, gathering information. They stumbled upon a disturbing scene: Malum and Zero's entities, dominating the local population.
Rishi's eyes narrowed, his anger simmering. Lyra's heart ached, witnessing the people's suffering. Kaidō's vampire instincts sensed the darkness, his fists clenched.
As they observed from the shadows, they accidentally crossed paths. Initially startled, they recognized each other and shared a moment of surprise.
Rishi whispered, "What are you doing here?"
Lyra replied, "I could ask you the same. I sensed something was off."
Kaidō added, "I followed the darkness. It leads to Malum and Zero."
They realized they were all searching for the same answers.
