Bloodstained Forest (6)

• Rumors begin to spread among the forest dwellers and nearby regions about ten powerful demon kings supporting Ragheb. It is said they grant him strength and rule over different parts of the dark world.

• The heroes learn about this from a demon merchant passing through their camp.

Merchant (glancing around cautiously): "Have you heard? There are ten kings of demons… They say they are even stronger than Ragheb. They're what make him invincible."

Lian: "Do you think they're just rumors?"

Merchant: "Nothing is certain. But there have been stories about them for ages. Each king is said to rule a specific domain with strength that rivals legends."

• The scene shifts to Raynor, who appears increasingly worried after hearing the rumors.

Raynor (whispering): "If these rumors are true… this battle will be greater than we imagined."

• While journeying deeper into the Bloodied Forest, another monkey king suddenly emerges, larger and more ferocious than the previous one. This one has dark black fur and eyes burning with malice.

• The group is trapped in a narrow pathway with no choice but to fight.

Zian (angrily): "Not the best timing! Looks like we're in for another fight."

Samir (clenching his mechanical hand): "We won't let them stop us here. Get ready!"

• The battle begins fiercely, with the monkey king using techniques different from the previous one, such as hurling boulders and summoning strong winds.

• Samir is struck by a powerful blow, knocking him to the ground, but Zian quickly helps him up.

Zian: "Samir, don't falter now. Your new hand isn't just for show!"

Samir (angrily): "I won't let this monkey overpower me!"

• Kymara helps Lian set up a magical trap to weaken the monkey while Zian and Samir confront it directly.

• The dialogue highlights the team's strength and determination:

Kymara: "Lian, are you sure this spell will slow it down?"

Lian: "If we don't do something now, we'll end up as its dinner!"

• In a dramatic moment, the spell partially binds the monkey king, but its immense strength quickly frees it.

Monkey King (angrily): "Do you think these petty tricks will stop me?"

• The fight drags on for hours, shifting between the characters showcasing their skills and teamwork.

• Zian uses the Heavenly Sword to deliver lethal blows, but the monkey king appears to regenerate quickly.

• Samir utilizes his mechanical hand to deflect the fierce attacks, while Lian tries to weaken the beast with her enchanted arrows.

Lian: "It doesn't seem like this beast will stop anytime soon! We need a new plan!"

Samir: "Keep the pressure on. We won't let it dominate us!"

• As the battle seems to reach a stalemate, Raynor suddenly intervenes.

• He uses a mysterious energy to force the monkey king back slightly, giving the team a moment to catch their breath.

Raynor (firmly): "Make no mistake, this beast isn't even fighting at its full strength yet. If you want to win, you'll have to think outside the box."

• Everyone looks at Raynor in shock, questioning the extent of his true power.

• Meanwhile, in another scene, Ragheb is seen in his fortress, discussing the Ten Kings with one of his advisors.

Ragheb: "They're waiting for the right moment. But I won't rely on them forever. If I want to rule this world, I'll leave nothing to chance."

• One of the demon kings, named "Merin," appears and speaks to Ragheb:

Merin: "Remember, Ragheb, we support you for now. But if you fail, the price will be high."

• The chapter ends with Raynor preparing the heroes for the next phase, revealing the Bloodied Forest's connection to the legendary artifact.

Raynor: "If you want to win this war, you must obtain the Eye of Wisdom. But it's not just an artifact… it's the key to something far deeper."
