Pure Evil Has Awoken

"Well, this Lycone guy needs to be stopped," my father declared in a commanding tone befitting a Demon Lord. He emphasized the urgency of the situation, explaining that if Lycone completes the last three folktales, we would be in grave danger. The first tale involved Hercules, while the second and third were linked to Pandora's Box and the Prometheus Test, respectively.

Without wasting any time, I immediately set off on my mission. I gathered Chidori and Amy, instructing them to stay with their grandfather for the time being. Amy was hesitant to leave, but Silph kindly offered to accompany her. Chidori, on the other hand, expressed his desire to stay, knowing that he would receive excellent training from his uncle. Assured that they were in good hands, I departed.

Meanwhile, Jinsei embarked on a solo mission, traversing through a dense forest. Unbeknownst to him, he was being trailed by someone. Jinsei swiftly unleashed a barrage of air bullets in the direction of the mysterious figure, only for him to vanish and reappear right in front of Jinsei. Filled with curiosity, Jinsei demanded an explanation for the person's pursuit.

"Why are you following me?" Jinsei questioned, his guard raised. The mysterious man paused, causing Jinsei to halt as well. To his surprise, he realized that the one tailing him was Lycone.

"Jinsei, I need your help," Lycone called out, his form enveloped in a vibrant red electricity. Jinsei, now perplexed, inquired about Lycone's presence and reminded him of the consequences of abandoning his friends and family. However, before Jinsei could continue, Lycone's plea interrupted him.

"Jinsei, there's something I need you to do," Lycone began. "Take me to the altar located between the human and demon domains." Jinsei, compelled to follow Lycone's urgent request, complied, guiding him to the designated location. Upon their arrival, Lycone instructed Jinsei to utilize his demigod status to unlock the sealed rock adorned with gems.

Jinsei fulfilled Lycone's command, and as the seal was broken, a sudden burst of smoke filled the air. From within the dissipating fog, a dark figure materialized, its eyes glowing with an evil grin. Knight's voice echoed in anguish, "No!" as the ominous presence solidified before them.
