Over a hundred miles outside the Tower of Truth.
Mike was moving slowly along a forest path, his steps so light they hardly made a sound.
When he reached a fork in the road, the shadow under his feet began to twist. Shadow Nine, unusually, took the initiative to appear.
"Kid, there's something I need to remind you of." Shadow Nine's tone was serious, lacking his usual laziness. "The area you're about to enter... it's quite different."
Hearing Shadow Nine's warning, Mike looked ahead.
[Ahead: Forest of Truth]
[The most fierce battlefield on Earth, where countless heroic spirits rest]
[Supreme Being Morpheus paid a great price to alter the natural laws of this place]
[The residual wills of deceased human heroes cling to relics, and when a destined one arrives, these wills awaken]
[Conquer the relics, gain the approval of the residual wills, and you may take them with you]
