In his hidden lair, Malakar seethed with anger at the failure of his Shadow Wyrm. To regain his advantage, he decided to forge a dark pact with an ancient and powerful entity from the underworld. This pact promised not only to restore his forces but to grant him new, formidable powers.

Malakar’s Strategy:

Malakar performed a forbidden ritual to summon the dark entity, known as the Abyssal Sovereign. This entity was a being of immense power, capable of corrupting and consuming entire realms. The ritual required rare and dark materials, as well as the sacrifice of a powerful being.

Ritual Details:

- Entity: Abyssal Sovereign
