Kaito began to reveal the truth about _Erebus_.
"_Erebus_ is an ancient being," Kaito said.
"It manipulates reality, bending the fabric of time and space."
Alec's eyes widened.
"Why did _Erebus_ reincarnate me?" Alec asked.
Kaito's expression turned solemn.
"_Erebus_ seeks a vessel," Kaito said.
"A vessel to contain its power."
Alec's heart sank.
He was just a pawn?
Suddenly, the temple began to shake.
*A powerful entity has awakened! *
System Notification:
*Danger Level: High *
Alec drew his sword, ready to face the entity.
The temple doors burst open, revealing a massive dragon.
Its scales glistened like black diamonds.
Its eyes burned with fierce intensity.
"This is the Temple Guardian," Kaito said.
"Defeat it, and claim the temple's secrets."
Alec charged forward, sword flashing.
The dragon roared, unleashing a wave of flames.
Alec dodged, but the heat scorched his skin.
He struck back, sword slicing through the air.
The dragon's scales deflected the blow.
Alec stumbled back, panting.
The dragon's claws swiped, tearing through Alec's armor.
He cried out, pain searing through his chest.
Just as all hope seemed lost...

Just as the dragon's claws were about to deliver the final blow...
A flash of light illuminated the temple.
Asuna Yuuki stood before him, swords at the ready.
"Let's fight together!" Asuna said, smiling.
The dragon roared, taken aback by Asuna's sudden arrival.
Asuna charged forward, swords flashing.
"Take cover, Alec! I'll handle this!"
Alec watched in awe as Asuna clashed with the dragon.
Her speed and agility left him breathless.
The dragon stumbled back, its scales cracking.
Asuna turned to Alec.
"Are you okay?" she asked, concern etched on her face.
Alec nodded, still stunned.
Asuna smiled.
"Let's finish this together."
