"A sacred tree with strange seeds grows deep within the earth, holding secrets that could Control the instincts of crystal monsters And it was a reason for a long time ."
After a previous battle fought by Larios, who remains unconscious even after his wounds have healed , everyone gathered around him in the mercenary camp. His body lay on the ground, blood still staining his clothes, but there was something different in the atmosphere. Lara, standing nearby, looked at him with concern and said softly, "He protected me and defeated those twisted monsters."
What was even more astonishing was the way Larius had used his power. His hand was enveloped in a glowing white aura, as though it emitted an extraordinary force. No one in the camp had witnessed such power before, and it left a trail of destruction around them.
Mathias gestured to the old book that Larius had given him to read earlier, and said: "I remember this book. It contains information about unknown powers, especially those that use white aura. This power was present in the last battle."
"What exactly is this power?" Arman asked, approaching Mathias.
Mathias answered, thinking: "It's not just ordinary magic. This white aura indicates an unconventional power, possibly linked to ancient techniques used by our ancestors or maybe the result of an unknown event."
While everyone was discussing what had happened, Larius was still unconscious. It seemed his battle was more complicated than just fighting twisted monsters; perhaps something much bigger was behind this fight.
At that moment, Andrius returned to the camp after He told them everything he knew and the strange connection with those strange seeds that infected monsters in the church surprised everyone
The circle around them was tightening. There seemed to be a hidden connection between the church and what was happening, but no one could fully understand it yet.
Arman said in a deep voice, "Unfortunately, we'll remain here for a while. Larius is still unconscious, and we need to come up with a new plan. But before we take any further steps, we need to understand the nature of these powers he is using and why the church is involved."
At that moment, Mathias continued speaking, pointing out something dangerous in the lands they were approaching: "I was told about an ancient sacred tree in the ruined lands. They say its fruits are poisonous, and anyone who comes near it may die. What we're witnessing here is likely the result of the church's involvement with this tree."
Mathias explained with concern: "The monsters we saw aren't just ordinary creatures. They've been heavily affected by that tree, and it's probably transforming them from natural beings into wild, tamed beasts."
This information came as a shock to everyone. It seemed that the church's involvement wasn't limited to fighting the mercenaries, but it had much larger goals connected to the mysterious forces in the ruined lands.
Arman said firmly, "We need to send a team immediately to deal with this threat. I'll send a squad led by Randell, Iryan, and Lara, along with some trusted warriors. We need to move quickly."
Meanwhile, in the distant chaotic lands, a group of soldiers was patrolling after being assigned a task by the king to kill Larius. One of the soldiers said, "This is going to take a long time. These lands are vast, and we don't know where to search."
Despite the difficulties they faced in those desolate and chaotic lands, their mission was clear. They had to kill Larius at any cost.
The scene shifted to Randell's task forceWith the rest , where he said determinedly: "We need to finish this quickly before any of the church's followers notice what's happening here. If they find out about our movement, things could get worse."
With the increasing challenges in the chaotic lands, everyone felt the pressure of time. They couldn't afford to wait.
Elsewhere, beneath the dark church, the atmosphere was thick with mystery. A figure wearing a demonic mask emerged from a large hideout and said: "It's your turn, Number 8. The leader of the Shadow Organization has decided to bring you out. You must be worthy of this task."
The masked figure smiled and said, "So, my turn has finally come."
Everything was changing quickly. Everyone knew that the upcoming battle would be even harsher, and what awaited them was not just a threat from monsters or the church, but from mysterious forces that intertwined with the past and present.What is the story of masked warriors and the numbers they solve?
