First Opponent [1]

Rumble—!

The plaza continued to tremble as the worn-out statue finally emerged in full view for everyone to see. Major portions of its structure were torn away, with fragments dangling down, revealing the skeletal framework beneath.

It was an imposing sight that left many of the onlookers breathless.

For the first time since the creation of Grimspire, the complete form of the 'Hand of Liberation' was unveiled to the world.

The Plaza was silenced. 

The Empires were silenced.

The World was silenced. 

"….."

All eyes were fixed on the majestic statue that stood at the heart of the Plaza. 

Rattle! Rattle—

In the silence, only the rattling of the chains echoed through the air.

The cracks that had formed on the ground began to mend, and gradually, everything returned to its original state.

All except for the statue which now stood proudly and imposingly at the center of it all.
