Episode Forty: The Grandfather's Warning

After a restful night in the hotel, Ren, Sakayanagi, and Shigan awoke to a new day filled with promise and possibility. As they prepared to set out once more on their quest, they made plans to acquire the Light Stone, the next step in their journey towards unlocking the power of the Galaxy Element.

However, before they could depart, they were approached by an elderly man—a wise sage who had been watching their journey unfold from afar. With a grave expression, he warned them of the dangers that lay ahead, cautioning them against underestimating the power of the guards and the king who ruled over the City of Light.

Ren, Sakayanagi, and Shigan listened intently as the old man spoke, his words carrying the weight of years of wisdom and experience. He offered them a chance to undergo a special training course, designed to awaken and upgrade their abilities to a new level of power—a version 2, if you will.

With a sense of determination burning in their hearts, Ren, Sakayanagi, and Shigan accepted the old man's offer, knowing that they would need every advantage they could get if they were to stand against the formidable foes that awaited them.

And so, under the old man's guidance, they embarked on a rigorous training regimen, pushing themselves to their limits and beyond as they honed their skills and unlocked new abilities within themselves.

Sakayanagi delved deeper into her mastery of blue flames, her flames burning hotter and brighter than ever before as she tapped into the true potential of her power.

Shigan explored the depths of his ki energy, learning to draw upon the life force of living beings and channel it into his own strength, granting him a newfound power that surpassed anything he had ever imagined.

And Ren, with his connection to the shadows, delved into the mysteries of death itself, learning to harness the souls of the departed and command them to do his bidding, transforming them into shadowy warriors that fought at his side.

As they trained, Ren, Sakayanagi, and Shigan felt their powers grow stronger with each passing moment, their resolve unshakable as they prepared to face whatever challenges lay ahead. And as they emerged from their training, ready to continue their journey, they knew that they were stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever before, ready to face whatever trials awaited them in their quest for the Galaxy Element.
