The scene before them was one of stark disbelief, a tableau of carnage that stretched out like a canvas painted in the blood of the fallen.
Trevor and his companions stood amidst the aftermath, their minds reeling as they grappled with the horrifying reality of Asura's might. Each member of the group stood frozen in shock, their faces pale and stricken as they surveyed the devastation that surrounded them, the weight of the loss heavy upon their hearts.
A single entity had reaped lives like a farmer harvests wheat, with a swiftness that defied comprehension. The sheer magnitude of Asura's power loomed over them like a specter of death, casting a shadow that seemed to stretch on into eternity.
"What kind of power was that?" Leo's voice trembled with disbelief, his words barely a whisper against the backdrop of death that enveloped them.
"He is too strong," Trevor murmured, his seasoned eyes betraying a glimmer of fear beneath their steely resolve. With a subtle yet decisive gesture, he cautioned his companions against any notion of confrontation. In the face of such overwhelming power, they were but mere mortals standing against a force that dwarfed their own.
Asura was a being beyond their ken, a power that transcended mortal understanding. In that moment, they realized the futility of resistance against such a formidable adversary, and the grim reality of their own mortality hung heavy in the air like a shroud.
"Listen up, tell Ethan to practice Asura arts, only then would he be able to stop him," Asura's voice sliced through the silence like a blade, his command echoing with an authority that brooked no argument.
The weight of his words settled upon the group like a leaden blanket, suffocating them with the gravity of their predicament.
"Who are you talking about?" Emily's query trembled with confusion and a growing sense of dread, her voice a fragile thread woven amidst the tumult of uncertainty that gripped them all.
"Since all the three Labyrinths have been cleared, the fourth one will open up after few months, and it is there to trap Sauron," Asura declared, his words hanging in the air like a dark omen foretelling of an inevitable and darker conflict yet to come.
The revelation sent a chill coursing through the group, their minds racing to comprehend the implications of what they had just heard.
"Sauron? Who is he?" Trevor's question reverberated through the silence, a plea for understanding in a world turned upside down by the revelation of yet another looming threat.
"The king of killings, The Monarch of Madness, Ruler of Space. He possesses a lot of names but the important thing is that he is, like me, a Portion of Abyss. Sauron, Ego of Lunancy," Asura's description wove a chilling tapestry of titles, each one a testament to the terror and madness that defined the enigmatic figure known as Sauron.
"Why are you telling us this? Aren't you on his side?" Emily's voice quivered with a mix of accusation and bewilderment, her fingers tense around the bowstring as she struggled to comprehend the true nature of Asura's intentions.
"Indeed I am. But he has been through a lot, and I think he deserves to get freedom from this pathetic life. And most importantly, I should be the one to finish my task, not him," Asura's words hung in the air like a paradox, a discordant blend of camaraderie and a sinister sense of duty that sent a shiver down their spines.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
In that moment, they realized the complexity of Asura's allegiance, a tangled web of loyalty and ambition that threatened to unravel the very fabric of their reality.
"What is your task?" Trevor's inquiry sliced through the tense silence like a blade, his voice demanding the final piece of this perplexing puzzle as they grappled with the enigma that was Asura.
"Didn't Gorgon tell you already? It's the destruction of this world," Asura's revelation fell upon them with a casual finality, each word carrying the weight of an impending cataclysm, a statement of intent that promised an end to all they knew and cherished.
In the aftermath of Asura's chilling declaration, a heavy silence descended upon the group like a suffocating blanket, wrapping them in its embrace as they stood amidst the remnants of battle.
The air hung heavy with the metallic tang of spilled blood, the scent a haunting reminder of the lives lost and the sacrifices made in the name of their uncertain future.
The oppressive weight of destiny bore down upon them, their hearts heavy with the burden of knowledge as they grappled with the enormity of the threat that loomed over them like a specter in the night.
"Since there is still time left, I will strengthen this body, and in the meantime, do not disturb me." Asura's voice, cold and detached, sliced through the stillness like a blade, its edges honed with the weight of his determination.
He settled onto the blood-soaked earth, his form becoming the eye of a storm as a crimson aura enveloped him.
It was not the sinister blood-filled aura they had witnessed before, but the pulsating energy of Asura's martial prowess, a testament to the depth of his power and the resolve that burned within him like a furnace.
"Sir, what should we do?" Aisel's voice trembled with uncertainty, his eyes fixed on the enigmatic figure before them, his mind racing with the weight of their predicament.
"We can't do anything. Let's wait for the young master to regain his body," Trevor's response was measured, his tone a mixture of resignation and strategy.
He understood the precarious balance they now found themselves in, teetering on the edge of uncertainty and despair.
In the face of Asura's overwhelming power, their options were limited, their fate bound to the whims of forces beyond their control.
"Then are you suggesting we should trust him?" Dagger's question cut through the tension like a knife, his gaze fixed on the meditating figure of Asura, his hand gesturing towards him with a mixture of suspicion and uncertainty.
"No, but we can't attack him. He is too strong, and there's Sauron as well," Trevor's response was measured, his voice laced with the weight of his experience as a leader.
He understood the delicate balance they now treaded, a tightrope stretched between trust and treachery, with the looming specter of Sauron casting a shadow over their every move.
"Yeah. You're right. We need to be prepared for him," Emily agreed, her voice steady despite the swirling chaos of her thoughts.
Her eyes flitted between her companions, searching for reassurance amidst the uncertainty that gripped them all.
"Aagh! How did things come to this point? Asura, Sauron, and five more like them. Just how much more complicated can it get?" Leo's exclamation reverberated through the air, his frustration echoing the sentiment of the group.
The weight of their predicament bore down upon them like a crushing weight, threatening to suffocate them with its overwhelming complexity.
"Yeah. There are five more of them, right? Does anyone of you have any idea who they are?" Mia's question hung in the air like a ominous cloud, a reminder of the unknown dangers that still lurked in the shadows, waiting to strike when least expected.
"No. Besides the demon of Wrath, I've never heard of the others," Trevor admitted, his voice heavy with the weight of his limitations, his knowledge reaching its limits in the face of the unknown.
"Should we try to ask him?" Mike's suggestion hung in the air like a fragile hope, a glimmer of desperation in his voice as he grasped for a semblance of understanding amidst the chaos that surrounded them.
"No! Are you crazy? He said not to disturb him. Don't you remember?" Leo's rebuke cut through the uncertainty like a whip, his words sharp with the urgency of their situation.
The memory of Asura's warning echoed in their minds, a stark reminder of the consequences that awaited those who dared to defy his command.
"Yeah. I'm sorry," Mike conceded, his apology a quiet surrender to the reality of their helplessness, his shoulders sagging beneath the weight of their collective burden.
"Anyways, we can't do anything besides waiting for the young master," Trevor concluded, his gaze lingering on Asura's tranquil form.
The group settled into a vigilant wait, each member lost in their own thoughts, grappling with the enormity of the situation that now confronted them.
In the silence that followed, the air was heavy with the palpable tension of uncertainty, the looming threat of impending doom casting a shadow over their every move.
As they stood watch over Asura's meditative form, the weight of their fate bore down upon them like an unyielding burden, a reminder of the fragile thread that bound them to the tumultuous currents of fate and destiny.
In that moment, they understood the true meaning of powerlessness, and the grim reality of their existence in a world where the forces of darkness held sway over their very existence.
