The Wind of Darkness

• After their brief rest, the heroes begin planning their next move.

• Raynor: "The Eye of Destiny is complete now, but this is only the beginning. There are countless secrets to uncover, starting with how to harness its full power."

• Lian, awakened after her fainting spell, feels the weight of the coming mission: "If this power is tied to the world's fate, we must learn to control it quickly."

• Ziyan: "But first, we need to get out of this forest. I've heard rumors about a new region governed by one of the Demon Kings."

• The scene shifts to Ragheb, who has started deploying his forces across the lands.

• Ragheb: "It seems they've overcome the dragon's test. No matter—I'll send them something they won't be able to surpass."

• A mysterious Demon King surrounded by a black aura stands beside Ragheb:

• Mysterious Demon King: "Allow me to unleash the Wind of Darkness upon them. It will crush them before they leave the forest."

• Ragheb: "Do as you wish. I want them weak when we face them."

• As the heroes prepare to leave, the forest begins to change.

• Trees turn darker, and the ground trembles beneath their feet.

• Samer: "What's happening now? This feeling… It's like the Earth Dragon, but even darker."

• Raynor, visibly worried: "This isn't a natural force. This is the Wind of Darkness, one of the Demon Kings' weapons. If we don't deal with it quickly, we'll be trapped here forever."

• The wind transforms into strange shapes:

• Shadowy creatures emerge, attacking the heroes from all directions.

• Ziyan uses the Heavenly Sword to slash through the shadows, but for every one he destroys, more appear.

• Lian tries to activate the Eye of Destiny, but the dark energy blocks her: "I can't access the power… This darkness is preventing me!"

• Samer, despite the loss of his original hand, demonstrates his strength with his mechanical arm, destroying some of the creatures but sustaining repeated injuries.

• From the depths of the darkness, Nirvak, a powerful Demon King and one of Ragheb's strongest followers, emerges.

• Nirvak: "You've proven your worth, but your end begins here. I am Nirvak, Heir of Darkness, and you will not leave this forest alive."

• Raynor, stepping forward to protect the heroes: "Nirvak… I didn't expect you to show yourself so soon. If you're here, it means Ragheb fears these youths."

• Nirvak, laughing: "Fear? No. We're simply toying with you."

• The fight between the heroes and Nirvak commences.

• Ziyan charges at Nirvak with the Heavenly Sword, but the latter easily blocks his attack.

• Samer keeps the shadowy creatures at bay while Lian searches for Nirvak's weakness using the Eye of Destiny.

• Nirvak creates storms of darkness, blinding the heroes and inflicting serious injuries.

• Raynor speaks to the heroes amidst the chaos: "Nirvak isn't an enemy you can defeat with brute force alone. You must work together and unleash the full power of the Eye of Destiny!"

• Despite her injuries, Lian decides to take a risk, opening a new field using the Eye of Destiny: "If we can trap his energy within this field, we might be able to land a decisive blow."

• Ziyan and Samer charge into the field together, drawing Nirvak's attention.

• The chapter concludes with a massive clash between Nirvak and the power of the Eye of Destiny, leaving everyone in suspense.

• Nirvak's voice echoes: "You won't defeat me easily… This is only the beginning."
