They all go out of the temple and quickly return to the wizards. As they were returning, they saw 2 extremely weird looking veiny dark cubes appear. One was on the bottom of the cube currently being held by the mountains and the other one around 2 kilometers away from them. They decide to go report at the wizards before venturing into them.

"We found the temple." said Radu, taking some initiative.

The wizards are obviously pleased by their success.

"Good, now, step in, another wacky event has happened since you've been gone." said the second wizard.

They all go inside once more.

"Have you seen those 2 weird veiny cubes?" asked the second wizard.

"Yeah, we did." said Radu.

"I need you all to split up, infiltrate them and destroy them. And they're not 2, they're 3. One is hidden underground." continued the second wizard.

"Then I'll go to the underground one!" exclaimed Radu.

"No, you will go and raise walls of dirt around the entire main city in order to defend it against the cube and the corruption of the shadow element. You see, those cubes act as control points. If we don't destroy them, soon enough they'll infect the entirety of Other Lands with their vile energy and we'll have no way of defeating them." said the second wizard.

"Sir yes sir!" said Radu before sprinting out, straight to the main city.

"Ares. Since you can fly, you'll go to the one in the sky. Darius, since your lightning powers are weaker underground, you'll go to the surface level one. And last but not least, stefan3B, you'll go to the underground one. Do your best. This time, failure could be allowed since we can potentially request Radu to join one of you if you can't do it alone, but don't be immature now. Go!" said the second wizard.

Ares and Darius leave but stefan3B remains.

"Where am I supposed to find the underground one?" asked stefan3B.

"You should be able to feel it since your energy is specifically designed to hunt down shadow, dark and void elementalists." said the second wizards.

stefan3B nods and goes out.

"I didn't understand anything…" said stefan3B in his mind, disappointed.

Radu quickly arrived at the main city, he rushed in order to find other ground elementalists to help him raise the walls.

"Hey! Hey! Any gr-" but Radu's speech was cut short when he saw the people he stole from right at his stand, all of them being pissed off.

"Uh oh…" said Radu, quietly.

He then acquires a new plan right on the spot. He walks over to the small crowd of people, with anger on his expression.

"Hey, have you seen that fucker aroung here? He stole from me again!" said Radu, pissed off as well.

"No, but this is the stand where he would sell the stolen things." said a fire elementalist.

"We have better things to worry about, dude. Don't you see that damn cube about to crush us?" said a ground elementalist.

"Hey… That's it! Why don't we defend against it? Let's gather all ground elementalists and raise walls around the city! It'll defend us against anything." proposed Radu.

The ground elementalists present there thought for a second and then agreed.

"Hmm, we have nothing else to do. We must try."

"Yeah, I'll go gather every ground elementalist I know."

"Yeah, me too."

"Alright, we'll go to the corner of the city, tell them to go there as soon as possible." replied Radu.

Together with another 3 ground elementalists, Radu started marching towards the corner of the city and start raising the walls.

Meanwhile, at the altar of the wizards, a familiar person arrives. The go out to see who could knock on their door other than the royal guards, but once they open it… Cat was there.

"Good evening, losers. I never thought that someone sooo special like the "grand wizards" have to depend on children to commit their dirty deeds because you're too lazy to do it yourself." said the cat in a calm tone.

"You… I've heard about you before, you're that one inventor, the one that created that one team!" said the second wizard.

"Correct and you must be the chatterbox of the three grand losers. Anyways, I have come here to try and save all of you. I got new toys I want to test. You don't mind, right?" said the cat.

The second wizard takes a deep breath and then sighs, trying to calm himself down.

"Sure, whatever, it's not as if you haven't already started planting your robots." said the second wizard.

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

The cat smiles.

"Thank you for your cooperation, gentlemen." said the cat before floating away.

In the meanwhile, stefan3B was scouting across the land. The atmosphere felt cold as the wind kept on blowing harder than usual. He then gains a brilliant idea. He charges up energy onto the tip of his blade then swings it, showering kilometers at once with a very thin blanket of light which goes through the ground, making it able for him to see where the light is negated, revealing the location of the chamber.

"If I can't dig to reach it… I'll just nuke this entire place up!" said stefan3B.

He raises his sword as he held it with both of his hands, frowns and clenches his teeth then charges energy onto the blade, fully yellowing it, then swings it downwards, the energy of the blade sliding off it and quickly getting launched into the ground, creating a powerful vertical burst which digs up the earth as a whole and throws it in every direction, revealing the cube. stefan3B lets out a battle cry as he charges down quickly with his sword into the cube, hardly piercing through it. Once he makes it through, he realizes that it is way bigger than he originally thought. The "cube" was nothing but an outer shell for the building within it… Which looked like…

"A panopticon? Is someone being held captive here?..." said stefan3B in his mind, astonished.

However, the panopticon also had a hallway which you would supposably go through in order to reach its inside. stefan3B does not want to stop now, he stands up and starts walking into it, despite being a little scared of what could hide within this deep darkness. The outer shell cube was solid, with a 7 cm thick layer of dark energy as its main component. Veins would come out of the panopticon and stick onto the cube, he saw them pulse and he felt disgusted. They were gray and extremely chunky, but not a single droplet dripped outside of them. However, he knew that if there was anything to be destroyed it would be inside. He finally reaches the door of the hallway and puts his palm on it. He takes a deep breath then puts his hand on the doorknob.

"No."

He kicks down the door, making it zoom across a distance 13 meters. Inside the hallway there were shadow elementalists guarding it, quickly gaining their attention.

"Hey! Intruder! Get him!" shouted a shadow elementalist.

stefan3B takes a look at the hallway, it had some sort of weird design of black and gray design. There were 20 shadow elementalists. The first one dashes at him and goes for a punch. stefan3B quickly swings his sword, slicing his abdomen then kicks him back. Suddenly, a shadow blast was casted towards him but he quickly blocked it with his sword. He realized that there were 5 elementalists at the end of the hallway which would cast long range attacks while the others would go melee. Another 2 elementalists rush stefan3B. One of them goes for another punch, stefan3B dodges it briefly, then the other one goes behind him and launches a kick to his back. stefan3B is staggered for a split second but before they get to hit him again he swings his sword once more and chops off the kicker's head, spilling its blood on the ground. The other one grabs him from behind by his armpits, attempting to lock him in place. stefan3B quickly flips forward and falls down over him then quickly gets up and tries to stab his core, but the shadow element vanishes and appears behind him before landing another kick to his back. stefan3B is purely annoyed at this point and casts a beam of energy from his right palm, knocking the elementalist into the walls of the hallway with enough power to neutralize him instantly.

"Hey, come on! Charge those blasts already!" said a shadow elementalist to the rangers.

The rangers were already under severe pressure, seeing their comrades being slaughtered like animals, but then eventually manage to charge up another blast then all of them shoot one by one. The first blast hits stefan3B directly but he manages to slice and dice the rest of them briefly as he ran towards the next fighter. stefan3B realized just now that the hallway was extremely long and by his approximations it had around 500 meters in length. Nonetheless, stefan3B manages to impale the next fighter through the stomach before allowing him to use his moves, then takes out his sword and cuts him diagonally, destroying his core at once. The next elementalist used shadow strike to assault him out of nowhere using a sword, performing a downwards slash. stefan3B easily blocked against it and they both struggled against each other's strikes. stefan3B manages to push him off then blast him, nailing the shot into his left side of his face, neck and left shoulder.

"Aurgh… You…" groaned the elementalist.

His aura starts growing bigger, stefan3B suddenly realizes that he's about to power up so he dashes quickly and lunges into his core, perfectly piercing him. The elementalist grips onto the blade and looks him dead in the eyes.

"Glory to the kingdom…" said the elementalist.

stefan3B takes out his sword quickly then goes for another swing, but another shadow elementalist appears from above and drops with a kick. stefan3B blocks the kicks with his sword and the fighter flips back once he lands on the blade, pushing stefan3B a little. The elementalist quickly dashes for a quick strike with his fist, stefan3B manages to spin around and land a roundhouse kick straight into his head, knocking him out instantly. stefan3B takes no time to stab him multiple times before advancing forward. The next wave of blasts are shot at stefan3B but he briefly slices them up and redirects the last one into a shadow elementalist, neutralizing him. stefan3B holds his sword with both of his hands and slowly lets it down and charges it up with energy then starts to progressively run faster and faster. The remaining shadow elementalists stand in front of the rangers and brace themselves. stefan3B swings his sword upwards and a spiky surge of energy rips upon the floor of the hallway, eliminating 8 elementalists instantly, which includes 3 rangers. stefan3B doesn't stop there, he leaps onto the next fighter and kicks him full force. The next fighter appears from behind him and stefan3B quickly turns around and swings his sword at him, but he vanishes once more and reappears right in front of his face after he had already swung his sword and strikes a muay thai pose. The elementalist quickly throws 2 insanely fast jabs to his face and then sweeps his legs with his, knocking stefan3B down. stefan3B quickly gets up and continues to wield his sword.

"What the hell just happened? Is he even a low ranker? How is he so good? Maybe he watched me fight the others." said stefan3B in his mind, actually afraid for the first time in this place.

The challenger advances towards him with quick footwork. stefan3B thinks that his sword swings might be too slow so he goes for a quick and light jab. The fighter blocks it with his arm and then kicks him unbelievably fast right in his heart, knocking him on the floor, sliding a few meters

stefan3B even drops his sword and coughs several times as he pants on the ground, having difficulties with breathing. He slowly gets up, still having Yellow Blitz activated, thinking about a strategy to counter this guy's amazing martial arts knowledge, but suddenly, the next wave of blasts are shot. stefan3B barely manages to dodge them all but then he gets struck in the stomach by the fighter's elbow and the next thing he sees is another punch in his face which knocks him down again. stefan3B gets up again, panting, and strikes a boxing pose, raising his guard up. The fighter strikes his muay thai pose as well and smiles. They both approach each other slowly. stefan3B focuses to the maximum for any slight movement of his fist and even almost starts sweating. The warrior suddenly launches a strike with his right hand, stefan3B instantly ducks down and rolls to the right, dodging the strike. The fighter gasps and his eyes widen, knowing that he's made his first and most likely his last mistake. stefan3B's eyes sharpen and with all of his rage and anger, he clenches his fist as tight as he can, he puts all of his body's weight into the punch and lands an insanely powerful hook, staggering the shadow elementalist fully and forcing stefan3B into losing his balance as well. But he does not stop there, he quickly puts his foot down and raises his guard again and sends another hook with his right arm this time, then another one with his left one and another one and another one and another one, beating the elementalist down until it wouldn't be able to stand up in this lifetime with 10 powerful hooks. The other elementalists watch in horror as each punch makes a loud sound as if steel would slam against steel, then with as a finisher blow, stefan3B uppercuts him, shattering his jaw and knocking him on his back, fully neutralized.
