Shane and the prince stood in the arena, and now the battle was about to begin amidst the crowd cheering for the prince to defeat the intruder and his soldier In a fit of rage, the prince launched an immediate attack without waiting or any preliminaries.

"Blue Falcon Feathers!"

A barrage of flying spears infused with the element of wind struck Shane at high speed, but he activated his "Red Spider" technique, which possessed a range of offensive and defensive capabilities. A series of spider-like limbs emerged from Shane's back, deflecting the prince's spears. Then he charged aggressively at the prince, delivering a series of rapid blows with his limbs. However, the prince was skilled and quick, parrying all the strikes before surrounding himself with a magical aura of wind energy.

"You seem quite skilled," Shane said with a mocking smile.

"You haven't seen anything yet," the prince replied.

Suddenly, the prince surprised Shane and struck him quickly with his sword on the side of his liver, causing him to drop to his knees, clutching the wound.

Prince Ando stood over Shane, saying, "I will end you now, you filthy demon. You are powerless now."

Shane laughed and replied sarcastically, "Tell that to yourself; you're the one in trouble, kid."

"Hmm, you're on the ground waiting for your death like a rat. I'll cut you down any moment now."

Shane rose, holding his wound, and pointed with a grin to the ground where the prince stood.

Ando was shocked to realize he was standing on a magical circle. Before he could move away, Shane activated his "Magic Binding" technique, the same one he used in his fight against the general.

Shane laughed hysterically, "I've got you now!" Then he attacked with his bloody, sharp claws while the prince tried to defend against the blows without his magic.

"Damn, cheap trick!"

Ando continued to defend against the onslaught, sustaining multiple injuries all over his body until the technique expired, allowing him to regain his magical powers. He activated the wind aura again and engaged fiercely this time, clashing his sword infused with wind against Shane's bloody weapons.

Amidst the clash and strikes, the prince spoke, "So your pathetic trick relied on surprise through your technique, but unfortunately, it's not enough to kill me."

Shane smirked cunningly, "My technique is a surprise plan, my friend. You haven't seen anything yet; the real horror will begin soon."The prince replied defiantly and confidently, "Then bring it on."

Twenty years before the current battle and the catastrophe of Shane's attack, a disaster occurred that affected the course of the kingdom and its people, especially Prince Ando, who belonged to the royal family that wielded and controlled the Winds of Light and Darkness to serve the kingdom. This wind power was linked to a legendary dragon named "Riga." This dragon, believed to be the form of the power of the winds, lived in the celestial world of "Yume."

Ando's ancestors had forged the contract with the Winds of Light and Darkness, which included loyalty to the dragon Riga. It was believed that this loyalty would ensure the protection of the kingdom from enemies and grant the royal family the ability to summon the powers of the winds in critical times.

King Eisan, Prince Ando's father, was one of the best wind manipulators, the only one known in modern times to control both types of winds. He was keen on teaching his son all the traditions and techniques of the winds, as well as sharing manuscripts and techniques unknown to many in the royal family. He aimed to create a legacy for Ando after his death, especially after the turmoil in the Great Building of Realms caused by the "Eien Hakai" faction.

He knew that such an incident would disrupt the upper leadership of the three Realms, and the chaos would create turmoil in the relatively small kingdoms. Therefore, he began preparing armies at the borders and shelters for the population.

He used the Winds of Darkness and summoned through it the dragon's claws—monsters resembling dragons—and ordered them to protect the kingdom until his return. He decided to intervene in the war occurring in the Building of Worlds after its fall to contain the situation and prevent "Eien Hakai" from doing something crazier.

There, King Eisan met the "General," and a clash occurred.

What happened afterward remains a mystery; the announcement of the king's death was made, and then all members of the royal family succumbed to an illness one after another. Only Prince Ando survived, perhaps because he was the only one capable of wielding the Winds of Darkness.

He was quickly appointed as the ruler of the kingdom while still in shock. Additionally, the ruler of the Green World issued a decree making the Kingdom of Air and Wings subordinate to the Golden Kingdom.

At that time, Ando realized that something strange had happened and that he needed to understand more about the dragon Riga, the powers of the winds, and exactly what happened

Shine spoke, "Are you distracted? If you do that, you will be killed." Then he attacked, trying to stab the prince, but he avoided it and attacked Shine with a wind style.
