Watching the door close behind them, Rio activates his influence and sends a suggestion to the remaining chalk creature.
"You don't need to report on the happenings of this room. just ignore everything and take a break."
Upon receiving the suggestion, the creature sits down and flattens itself onto the ground.
"Good, now I just need to get us out of here."
Activating his reserves, Rio pulls everyone into the void and re-summons them outside of their cells.
Before Rio can even think, Zack scoops him up and hugs him with thankful eyes.
Rio is surprised for a moment at the sudden gratitude.
He had always assumed that his servants would simply lack all emotion.
Looking towards the other two, he notices Jeremy pouting by himself while Vector stares at the two of them while shaking his head.
"Well, that's a bit interesting.
Deciding to test his new discovery later Rio puts his mind to more important matters.
He begins thinking of a way to handle all of the creatures inside the castle.
It didn't seem like traditional weapons were very effective last time but he didn't have much to work with.
Of course, that feeling didn't last long as Rio had had an epiphany.
Since the creatures are made of chalk, it wouldn't be out of the question to assume that they couldn't be washed away with a bit of water.
Rio quickly puts his hypothesis into effect on the resting creature that was left to watch over them.
Zack liquefies his arms, and slams them into the creature.
Without any resistance, Zack's arms fly straight through it, splitting it in two.
"Perfect! Nice one Zack," Rio applauds.
With his new weapon in hand he jumps into Jeremy's arms and has Zack and Vector take the lead.
Busting down the dungeon doors, They get ready to fight their way out.

[Outside Castle Jeremy]
"Team Alpha 3 to HQ, We have located the vehicle that Vector was last seen in. It looks like he got into an accident. The car is pretty banged up and the window has been smashed."
"HQ to team Alpha 3, Do you have a visual on Vector?"
"Not yet, It looks like he continued on foot, but there's something odd. There are two sets of prints in the mud but none of them appear to be Vectors. One of the prints seems to have come from a pair of sneakers while the other seems to be a set of paw prints the size of a small dog. The SUV is the same but I'm not quite sure that Vector ever made it here."
"There is no need to think about that, We will have team 4 check the area for him. I want your team to continue following the path. Report if you spot anything out of the usual. Do you understand."
"Yes sir, I'll have my team get right on it."

[Inside Castle Jeremy]
A whip flings through a swarm of chalk creatures as they fall to the ground.
Rio's squad is making short work of the Creatures within the castle with the help of Zack.
They made their way down the seemingly endless corridors and staircases.
They felt like they had been running forever.
The Castle was definitely not this big when he came in.
Soon they reached a large set of arched doors.
Remembering that the entrance to the Castle had the same shape Rio and his servants rush towards it and slam it open.
Unfortunately, what awaited them was not freedom, but an exceptionally large creature.
Zack attacks the creature without a moment's rest but something unexpected happens.
The creature blocks the water with his own arm.
Rio can see a bit of the chalk washing away, but it was not enough to remove the creature.
Its outline was definitely much thicker than the previous ones.
After repelling Zack's attack the creature let out a blood curdling scream as his arm began healing rapidly.
"This might be a problem." Rio thinks to himself as he tries to use his influence.
He attempts to influence the creature multiple times as it and Zack trade blows.
No matter what he tries, the creature simply ignores the suggestions and continues fighting.
He even tries activating his dominance but even after 10 minutes of continuous fighting, the aura still looks as if it had never moved.
Rio, Jeremy and Vector watch the two fighters going at it, Knowing that they are unable to provide any assistance. The battle rages on yet the creature seems to have just as much energy as when it started as Zack's movements begin to slow.
Rio shakes his head and begins pacing around in a circle.
"Come on Rio. Think. There has to be some way to turn this around!"

Latest Chapter
Disapointment
Hiro focuses his mana and summons a barrier around himself while Rio rains down fire on the crowd of Larissa clones. Rio's orbs tear through the clones like paper. Each one falling to the ground after receiving a direct hit from Rio's barrage. The sound of impact echoes across the area as dozens more clones fall to the ground dead or dying. Seeing the destruction that the wolf was able to cause in such a small amount of time, Larissa gasps in amazement. "This is what it means to have real power. I'll definitely make you mine." Larissa whispers softly. Her eyes glow brightly with excitement as she approaches Rio. "Come on now, come to mama." She charges forward at him, avoiding the fire coming from above Rio. As she gets closer, He readies himself. Stabbing her dagger towards RIo, Hiro swiftly moves in to block the strike with his sword and slashes downward towards her. Larissa dodges the slash effortlessly but her eyes widen in shock when Hiro grabs her arm with his free hand.
First Bout
Turning her attention back to Hiro, Larissa places a finger to her chin thoughtfully. "I think I'll take my sweet time getting rid of you first. Then I can take my time with your companion," With that Larissa teleports behind Hiro and wraps her arms around his neck. Hiro struggles against her grasp but finds it difficult as he can feel his power fading as she takes hold on him. Hiro continues to struggle against her, until Fye sends Larissa crashing to the floor. Hiro quickly distances himself from Larissa to catch his breath and as he does so Larissa steps out from the crater left from her landing. "I'm going to ask that you don't interrupt me when I'm working, young lady. I will get to you when it is your turn. In the meantime, How about you play with these guys." Larissa snaps her fingers causing the ground to shake. From within the earth rise several zombies which crawl out from the soil. Each zombie stands tall and menacing with rotting flesh covering their bodies. "Now t
The First General
6 months fly by as Hiro continues his training under Gaius. With every passing day, Hiro becomes more comfortable with using his magic. Rio was worried when their training had begun taking longer than he had hoped but, his worries faded when he looked at how much time he had left. Despite being in the trial for 6 months It seemed to have only been around 6 days outside. And with all this time Rio was able to reap the benefits of Gaius's training as Hiro was becoming more and more powerful. Hiro was now at a state where even Gaius was beginning to have trouble handling him, and Gaius knew that Zack would be ready to head out into the world. Gaining permission from the king, Gaius gave Hiro a set of armor and weapons. Hiro wore the outfit proudly as he headed out to the castle's entrance. There he met Zack who was waiting for him. Once they arrived, Hiro was given a map with a destination marked on it. Zack told him that this was a place known as the city of the dead. According to
Power
Gaius walks out into the field and tosses his spear at Hiro. He fumbles with the weapon for a bit until it finally slips from his grasp and bangs against the ground. "Don't break it now. I only have one of those" Gaius chuckles as he watches Hiro pick the spear up from the ground. As soon as Hiro picks up the spear, Gaius plants his feet and stares down the boy. "Come on now, don't make me wait too long. Just come and give me your best shot. Hiro swallows nervously and clenches his fists tightly as he stares at Gaius. He had spent the previous night practicing how to use his power defensively but had failed to learn how to use it offensively. Knowing that his best choice would be to just try his best, Hiro runs at him with the spear in hand. He wields the weapon clumsily as he rushes at Gaius. Before he can make contact, however, Gaius blocks Hiro's path by raising his arms to block the attack. Gaius grips him by the neck and throws his body back to where he started. "I know y
Defender
The next morning, Rio and Hiro hurry to the training grounds as per Zack's request. Hiro's eyes were red and swollen from lack of sleep. His hair looked messy as if he hadn't washed it recently either. Despite these signs, his face remained full of determination as he faced off against his mentor. Gaius was already waiting for them when they arrived. He stood tall and proud with his spear held by his side. "By the look of you, I'm guessing that you didn't get much sleep." Gaius states bluntly as he looks over Hiro. Hiro shakes his head in response. "I might not have gotten much sleep, But you will see the impact of all of my efforts soon." Hiro explains confidently. Gaius narrows his eyes slightly before responding. "Cockiness is not an attractive trait, But I will allow you a bit of pride if what you say is true. Now then, How about you prove to me how strong you are today?" Gaius says as he steps forward with his spear raised high above his head. Without hesitation, Hiro readi
Tantrum
"Again!...Again!...AGAIN!!!" Gaius shouts as he continuously slams his spear and fist into Hiro. Hiro groans as he pushes himself up to his feet yet again. Not giving up, Hiro takes the beating while attempting to draw on the power from before. But no matter how many times he tries it, Hiro remains unable to protect himself. Gaius smacks Hiro upside the head with his free hand, sending him flying through the air and crashing into a training dummy. Hiro hits the wooden structure with such force that it cracks beneath his weight before collapsing entirely. "Damnit!" Gaius curses as he runs over to Hiro and picks him up off the floor. "Maybe we should take a quick break. If we continue at this pace, you won't live long enough to even see real combat." Gaius sighs while dusting Hiro off. "We'll come back tomorrow when your wounds have healed. Until then, I want you to keep practicing on manifesting your power." Hiro nods in agreement with his exhausted body. As Gaius walks away from
