Everyone was already consumed by sadness and despair. They had been surrounded by the army of the Black Shadows, ready to be sent back to the mines under brutal conditions. The harsh labor awaiting them was a cruel fate no one wished to face.However, just when it seemed there was no escape, the ground began to shake violently. Suddenly, the mine collapsed, unleashing a massive surge of lava that erupted furiously from the depths. Amid the debris emerged a titanic creature engulfed in flames. It was an enormous Kaiju, with a long and majestic neck, a dragon-like head, massive wings that shimmered like burning embers, and four powerful legs—two of which ended in gigantic clawed hands.The creature let out a deafening roar that froze the blood of everyone present. Its presence was imposing, almost divine, as if it had risen directly from the bowels of hell.“What is that, sir?” some of the soldiers asked Blaget, visibly terrified.“I don’t know, but fire at it!” Blaget ordered, trying t

Paltio and Rykaru continued climbing with great effort, finally reaching the shoulders of the enormous monster. From that height, the landscape was breathtaking.“From up here, you can see everything,” Rykaru said, gazing around in awe. However, his excitement quickly faded. “The bad part is that everything is shrouded in perpetual darkness because of the shadows.”“Yes, I know. This creature is so tall that one might think it could touch the sky,” Paltio replied, looking up. As he did, he noticed something peculiar: a series of threads or rays crossed the sky as if they were invisible train tracks.“That must be what Ban mentioned… Above those threads must lie the true sky, not this endless darkness,” Paltio reflected aloud.“Maybe if we launch an attack from here, we can destroy it,” Rykaru suggested, excited by the idea.“No, Rykaru. If we do that, we’ll alert the creature,” Paltio cautioned wisely.Meanwhile, the Lavafire attempted to advance but also spread its massive wings, try

“It’s now or never!” Paltio and Rykaru exclaimed in unison. Both unleashed a flurry of relentless attacks on the beast’s critical points. With one hand, the creature tried to knock Paltio off its head, while with the other, it sought to capture Rykaru. However, its efforts were in vain. Father and son were too fast, shielded by a powerful aura that enveloped them. The bond between them, strengthened by the Domadoin, had fused into an almost unbreakable connection.Finally, they reached the climax of their assault. Paltio delivered a devastating blow that pierced the beast’s lower jaw, while Rykaru sliced through the last part of its neck with his sword. The creature made its final desperate attempt, but it was futile. Together, they managed to sever the beast’s head completely.The beast began to fly erratically over the area, like a headless chicken, after being decapitated. It spun wildly in the air until, finally, it crashed with a deafening roar in the same place from which it had

Silver was frustrated. He had tried again and again to break the barrier that imprisoned Meliradal, but his efforts had yielded no results. "If only Krasper were here," he muttered in frustration, punching the ground with his fist.Suddenly, a familiar voice emerged behind him: "What about me? What am I good for?"Silver spun around quickly, surprised to see Krasper standing there. "Krasper, my friend! What are you doing here? And where have you been?" Silver asked, thrilled by the unexpected appearance."Well, that’s quite a few questions, my friend," Krasper replied calmly as he approached. "But I came for the same reason you did: our creator contacted me telepathically. Though his voice sounded very faint," he explained thoughtfully.Krasper looked around, admiring the place. "So this is the sanctuary where Meliradal resides... Wow, it’s decorated and looks rather luxurious," he commented, inspecting every detail. After a few moments of silence, he added, "By the way, where is she?

"But guys, what are you doing here? Even Meliradal is with you!" Golden exclaimed, surprised to see the guardians gathered."That’s right. It seems the whole gang is back," Krasper commented with a mischievous smile, crossing his arms."What do you mean, ‘it’s time’?" Golden asked, looking at Silver curiously."Yes, it’s time to find our lord Avocios," Silver replied seriously, his tone firm but calm."You mangy dog, why are you spouting nonsense? Do you even know where he is?" Golden retorted, raising an eyebrow sarcastically."Oh, here we go again with their little drama," Meliradal interjected with an exasperated sigh, shaking her head."Can you two behave? There are people watching us," Kilibur said, discreetly gesturing toward Paltio and his friends, who were observing the scene with a mix of awe and confusion."Hey, Paltio, who are these enormous beings the size of Golden?" Ban asked, approaching with curiosity."They’re Avocios’ guardians," the prince explained, admiration evid
