Gio and Kira found themselves amidst a sea of warriors as they entered the bustling food hall in Demencia City. The air was filled with anticipation and the clattering of armor and weapons. They took their places among the crowd, eager to hear what Diana, the city's leader, had to say.

As the room filled to its capacity, Diana stepped forward, commanding the attention of the warriors. Her authoritative presence silenced the chatter, and all eyes turned to her.

"Warriors of Demencia City," Diana began, her voice echoing through the hall. "We gather here today because our beloved city is under threat. The goblin forces are amassing, preparing to launch an attack upon our walls. But we shall not yield to their tyranny. We shall stand strong and fight with all our might."

The warriors cheered, their determination shining through their eyes and the clenching of their fists.

"To ensure our victory, Cash will create a simulation battlefield," Diana continued. "This training will be crucial in honing your skills and preparing you for the imminent battle. The simulation will mirror the real battlefield, with one key difference. Every divine soul obtained from a slain goblin will go directly to the warrior who lands the killing blow."

Murmurs of excitement and determination rippled through the crowd. Divine souls held immense power and were highly sought after. They granted strength, enhanced abilities, and could be used for various purposes.

"But there's more," Diana announced, her gaze piercing. "In an effort to strengthen our city's defenses, 60 percent of the divine souls collected during the simulation will be allocated to our city treasury. These souls will be used to bolster our finest warriors, ensuring our ability to defend Demencia City."

The warriors nodded, understanding the importance of pooling their resources for the greater good. The safety of their city and its inhabitants depended on their unity.

Stepping forward, Cash took the floor, his presence commanding respect and attention. "The battlefield simulation will commence in just 10 minutes," he declared, his voice resonating with authority. "Prepare yourselves for battle, my fellow warriors. Train, strategize, and harness your skills. This is an opportunity to sharpen your abilities, to grow stronger, and to prove your worth in the face of impending danger."

Gio and Kira exchanged determined glances, their hearts pulsating with the weight of the upcoming battle. They understood the gravity of the situation and the need to push themselves beyond their limits.

As the warriors dispersed, each preparing for the simulation in their own way, Gio and Kira sought a quiet corner. Their minds raced with thoughts of strategy, training techniques, and the importance of working together.

"We must make the most of this simulation, Gio," Kira said, her voice filled with determination. "We have to prove ourselves and show our commitment to protecting this city."

Gio's eyes widened as he listened to Kira's confident response. He had always relied on physical weapons and gadgets, but Kira's words revealed a different approach—one that intrigued and fascinated him.

"You use your divine spirit as your strength?" Gio asked, a mixture of curiosity and admiration in his voice.

Kira nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "Yes, Gio. The power within us, our connection to the divine essence, can be harnessed and channeled. It's about tapping into our inner energy, our spirit, and unleashing it in battle. It allows us to transcend the limitations of physical tools."

Gio pondered her words, a newfound appreciation for the depths of their abilities beginning to surface. He had always thought of combat as a matter of physical strength and the equipment at hand. But Kira's perspective offered a different dimension—one that spoke to the strength within.

"But how do you do it?" Gio asked, his curiosity piqued. "How do you tap into your divine spirit and use it as your weapon?"

Kira's expression softened, and she spoke with a gentle yet resolute tone. "It's a journey of self-discovery, Gio. It requires introspection, understanding, and a deep connection with the essence of who you are. Through meditation, focus, and honing your inner energy, you can unlock the power that lies within."

Gio absorbed her words, feeling a stirring of excitement within him. The thought of exploring this new path, of unlocking the hidden potential within himself, ignited a spark of determination.

"I want to learn," Gio said, his voice filled with newfound resolve. "I want to discover my own divine spirit and wield it in battle. Show me, Kira. Teach me how to tap into this inner strength."

Kira's eyes gleamed with a mixture of pride and encouragement. She recognized the eagerness in Gio, the hunger to evolve and transcend his current understanding of combat.

Then a major bang interrupted their conversation, they had been teleported into the simulation.

Gio's heart pounded with adrenaline as he gripped his flail tightly, his eyes scanning the darkness for any sign of movement. The sounds of demonic creatures grew louder, and the air crackled with an eerie energy. The simulation had plunged them into a battle against the goblins, and there was no room for hesitation.

Cash's commanding voice rang out amidst the chaos. "Stay focused! The goblins are here!" he shouted, his voice carrying an air of authority that cut through the turmoil. Gio's determination surged as he caught sight of Cash, leading the charge with his staff in hand.

With a swift, fluid motion, Gio swung his flail in a wide arc, its spiked heads whirling through the air. As the first goblin charged towards him, Gio's muscles tensed, and he unleashed a powerful strike, the spiked head of his flail connecting with the creature's torso. The goblin let out a screech before collapsing to the ground.

Beside him, Kira soared through the air, her body emanating a radiant aura. She unleashed a barrage of energy blasts, each one finding its mark with precision and force. The goblins stood no chance against her fierce determination and honed abilities.

Cash fought alongside them, his staff a blur as he weaved intricate patterns in the air. Waves of energy surged forth from his staff, striking down goblins with devastating force. His movements were calculated, every strike hitting its mark with ruthless efficiency.
