Demons and Celestials are powerful existences that are granted an ability that supersedes that of any other lifeforms. It was an ability that could only be obtained when one has reached an enormous level of comprehension and power and most importantly when they have carved their true name out of their souls.
Having carved out their true name they can name other creatures, if it is an unintelligible creature, the creature robs off a little power from whatever named it and evolves to a different level not seen or heard, also possessing tremendous power which makes them a very unpredictable and destructive phenomenon –a phenomenon that the world was yet to know about.
"Hyung, are you going to go all the way."
Min-ho relentlessly begged Raith to let them go back but Raith paid him no attention.
After walking for a few minutes, Raith could finally see the dark castle that sat, immersed in the rocky terrain.
"Ha... I finally found it."
He grinned.
Min-ho shrunk in fear as he saw the dark castle.
"Hyungnim Hyungnim shouldn't we be going back at the point."
"Why should we go back we haven't even cleared the gate."
Raith replied to him as they continued their trekking, with Min-ho shaking and scanning all his surroundings for potential or unseen threats.
They finally reached the castle's entrance. The doors were made of thick, black iron, with heavy bolts and chains securing them.
The air around suddenly grew colder– not that Raith felt, but he could tell by how Min-ho was shivering and with his pale skin. He could also hear the faint howling of the wind as it whips through the castle's battlements.
"H-h-hyu-hyungnim, a-aren't y-y-ou-u co-co-co-colddd?"
'It must be because of my cold resistance passive skill. I can't feel it at all.'
Raith pulled his black shirt unleashing his fine-toned and thick-muscled body, his abs and chest were not like how they used to be back in the motel. There was already a distinct difference that even he didn't notice.
"Take, that should help a bit."
"T-T-Thank-k-k you-u-u hy-hy-hyungnim"
While Min-ho struggled to talk with his shaking lips and grinding teeth. Raith looked down with a shocked face.
'Or so now you decide to show up.'
[A Trial has been generated]
[You have reached a Milestone on your path]
[Being faced with a powerful foe ahead of you, the abyss has taken advantage of this opportunity to put you on a path of darkness]
[Will you accept this trial Y/N]
Simultaneously, to their left, a purple colored portal suddenly appeared.
[If you choose YES you will leave the portal]
'Wow...'
The abyss has never given him an option before.
'Is the abyss trying to trick me or maybe the decision I make here will decide a lot'
Raith looked forward and looked at the gate.
'...the decision I make...'
He narrowed his gaze.
"Momo."
"H-h-hhyung–
"Makes sure no one touches my crystals."
He said and threw the boy into the portal.
"Yes!"
[You have made the right decision]
[A New Trial Has Been Generated]
[Trial Of Essence]
- Discover your true name.
- Defeat the named Ogre.
"eh?"
Meanwhile.
As they waited for Lee Se-Chul's attack sword the gate suddenly began a misbehavior, the wind around it rose even higher and became more violent, then suddenly a person flew out of it landing on his face with his but in the air.
"Huh?"
While everyone was running helter-skelter preparing to counter the potential threats the gate could be, agent Jong-Su's mouth gaped as he saw who came out of the gate.
Immediately Min-ho was thrown out of the gate, the wind torrents disappeared and the gate switched color from purple to black.
"What the hell?"
Lee Se-Chul gazed at the gate with a bewildered expression. No one had ever heard of or seen a black gate before, it has never even existed before now.
VRROOOM!
"Guild master!"
The feminine voice came running as the black sedan car that carried the main attack squad parked roughly at a corner with the family brisky guy Lee Seung-gi as the driver– he was panting.
The pink-haired petite lady ran to Lee Se-Chul whose eyes stayed glued to the gate. As the other squad members came down from the car with sophisticated and exquisite modern-medieval armor, they also couldn't resist the enchanting ferocity of the black gate.
"Get prepared! Everyone! We are going into the gate!!"
As Lee Se-Chul shouted and intended to step forward, the gate disappeared. In a flash as if it was never there, it was gone.
"Eh?"
(Back inside the gate)
As Raith stepped inside, he was enveloped in total darkness, with no torches or candles to light his way– but that wasn't an issue, thanks to passive skill [Dark Vision]
The only thing he could hear was the echoing of his footsteps on the stone floor. The musty and thick air in conjunction with the earthy smell, was as if the castle has been abandoned for years.
Gently with soft step and calm breathing as if he was the owner of the castle, Raith made his way down the long, winding corridor, with debris scattered across the floor. Eventually, he arrived at a large, ornate double door, its surface covered in intricate carvings of beasts and warriors locked in battle.
He paused in front of the door.
'So it's here...'
he looked at the door.
'Black armor'
His body was immediately shrouded in darkness, exposing only his eyes–with no shirt on, the black armor hugged his body, perfectly bringing out the contours and carvings of every muscle on his body. He pushed the doors open gently and stepped into the throne room.
At first, there was nothing but a vast emptiness, the space was filled with an overwhelming sense of void. But as his eyes adjust to the darkness, he made out a tall throne seat at the far end of the room, with the ogre seating on the throne and resting his head on one hand, waiting for Raith.
