I froze at Rache’s words. He knew this wasn’t where the Great Overlord was sealed? Then that meant…

“You already know where the Great Overlord is sealed!” I shouted in horrified realization. My companions jolted at my words.

“Ha ha ha! That’s right! We already knew where the Great Overlord of the Third Realm is sealed,” Rache confirmed. “We were going to break the seal, but then we noticed some rats were snooping around and decided to take care of you at the same time.”

I clenched my hands as I realized we had been played for fools. We thought we were the ones leading these people into a trap, but it was actually the other way around.

Chloe suddenly stepped forward, the smile gone from her face. Her armor clicked together with a soft tink tink, tink tink as she moved, standing in front of us like a shield.

“I did not expect to see you here, Rache.”

“Ah? If it isn’t little Chloe.” Rache grinned. “My dear, you have grown even more beautiful than the last time I saw you.”

Chloe’s lips turned into a thin line as fluctuations in her Spiritual Power caused distortions in the air. A crackling hum caused everyone to take a step back. Her hair was wavering behind her even though no breeze blew through this bailey. It made her seem ominous and dark.

“Flattery will get you killed,” Chloe said flatly.

“What’s the matter? Are you not happy to see me? Don’t you remember all the fun times we had together? Come, let us reminisce for old times sake,” Rache said, chortling as if he was thinking of an old joke.

I looked from Rache to Chloe, who didn’t appear any different than usual, but I could sense the tension in her shoulders. I didn’t know what history she and this man had, but considering they were enemies, I doubted that history was pleasant. My mind was already plagued by images that I’d rather not see. The ideas my mind conjured were unpleasant at best and horrifying at worst.

“Master Eryk, please leave this man to me,” Chloe said as she reached for the sword sheathed at her waist, slowly sliding it free with a hiss of steel. “You must travel to the true seal and stop whoever they sent to break it.”

“Will you be okay?” I asked.

Chloe wore a faint smile as if to reassure him. “Do not worry. I have been training for this very moment. I will be fine.”

I had no idea what was going on, and it was clear from the expressions my other companions wore that they also had no idea, but I could tell this moment was important to Chloe. Whatever history these two had, she wanted to resolve it… by cutting her foe down. As someone who had spent an entire lifetime chasing after revenge, I understood how she felt. I would not, could not, get in her way.

“All right,” I said at last. “We’ll leave this to you.”

I looked at Kari, Siv, Fay, Lin, and Tora. They all nodded once to show they understood the situation. I took one look at the grinning Rache, then the six of us took off into the air.

“Good luck, Chloe!” I called out as we shot away.

The moment we tried to leave, however, spatial fluctuations appeared around us. Several blades appeared from out of thin air. They contained spatial energy, so they were obviously blades made from condensed space. If even one of them hit, they would kill us.

One of them came right for me, but I swerved out of the way, though I was forced to dodge another blade immediately after. My companions didn’t have it any easier. Lin and Kari were just below me, twirling through the sky like dancers as they dodged, wove, and spun away from dozens of spatial blades. Fay and Siv had it a little easier. Siv was knocking the blades away with her fists. I sensed the spatial fluctuations around her fists as she shattered the attacks with simple punches. Tora had created a barrier. Cracks formed, but she repaired them quickly.

“Did you really think I would let your companions leave?” asked Rache as he held out his hand, obviously controlling the blades.

“Did you really think you would be able to stop them?” asked Chloe, extending her left hand and clenching it into a fist.

All the spatial blades shattered as a powerful distortion appeared in the air, white lines like cracks in the sky appearing and spreading seemingly at random. Chloe’s counterattack was impressive. Not only had she stopped every attack in its tracks, but Rache was forced to dodge when several more cracks appeared in his location. Chloe made a swirling motion with her hands. The white cracks gathered together, forming a drill-shaped spear, which rotated at incredible speeds as it shot forward.

“Ha ha ha! You’ve gotten stronger! But you’re still not strong enough! You’re ten thousand years too soon to defeat me!”

Rache stopped moving through the air, set himself in a combat stance like he was standing on hard ground, and spun around. He threw a reverse heel kick at the drill, which exploded with black energy. The expulsion of spatial energy tore apart the sky. More cracks appeared, revealing other places, other realms maybe. There was a grassy plain. A strange prairie. Then there were the more unusual images like the one of a swirling nebulae another that emitted incredible heat and looked like there was a newly born star on the other side.

Chloe’s eyes widened as she waved her hand.

The cracks sealed up.

“Hoo boy. That sure was something,” Rache said, pretending to wipe sweat from his forehead. “I had no idea you had advanced so far with the Concept of Space. What quadrant of the galaxy was that, anyway? I don’t recognize it! Ha ha ha! Either way, I am impressed. Bravo. Bravo.”

“If you think that is impressive, then wait until you see what I can really do,” Chloe shouted as shot forward.

“I can’t wait! Show me what you’ve got! Let’s see how strong that little brat I let live so many centuries ago has become!” Rache shouted as he flew forward to meet her.

The two clashed together, slamming their weapons into each other. Chloe’s sword glowed vibrantly as the runes along the blade and handle burned with bright light. The weapon that Rache wielded looked nothing like the one our maid used. It was a double-bladed sword, blacker than night, covered in purple symbols that were esoteric and strange.

There was so much power packed into their attacks that the rest of us nearly spun out of control as the force of their blows displaced the air, creating strong gusts of expulsed wind. Neither Chloe nor Rache seemed to be paying us any attention, however. The two pushed against each other, tried to overpower the other, and when cracks began forming in the sky around them, they threw themselves backward to avoid being caught up in the damage they had caused.

Chloe swung her blade, unleashing a hailstorm of spatial blades that were met with an equal number of blades from Rache. The many attacks met between them and canceled each other out. Each time a blade struck another blade, the sky was torn asunder as though reality itself was being shredded.

Kari, Fay, Lin, Siv, Tora, and I were already far away by this point. The two appeared as nothing more than specks against the background. The castle in which they had begun their battle was already in ruins. The walls had been destroyed, the keep was crumbling under the intense assault of their Spiritual Power, and the great hall had been reduced to rubble.

“I guess that is one ruin we will not be exploring again,” Kari said with a sigh.

“There are far more important things to worry about than ruins,” Fay said dryly.

Kari nodded. “I know. We need to hurry to the Lintilskudd ruins.”

“This princess cannot believe we were the ones who got tricked,” Lin muttered. “This princess is going to make those Sekbeist pay for humiliating her.”

“For once, I fucking agree with you,” Tora said.

We flew without pause, at the fastest speed we could, and reached the ruins as quickly as possible. It wasn’t long before we set foot in the familiar courtyard. The massive vines and plants covering the ground and walls were the same as always, and the gigantic entrance that could easily fit a giant had not changed at all.

We did not have any time to look around. My companions and I raced into the ruins, ran down the halls, and traveled until we had reached the first massive room. It looked like a multi-level structure that traveled into the mountain. There were many walkways at higher and lower levels. I still had no idea what they were used for, but it no longer mattered.

We leapt down to the first floor. There was a dais on this floor. Situated upon it was a pair of hands emerging out of the ground, fingers curling to create an archway between them—or they would have been, but someone had already moved them back.

The entrance that Kari had discovered so many years ago was already opened.

“This does not look good,” Fay said.

“We need to hurry,” Kari agreed.

Down, down, down we went, moving quickly, until we reached a massive room that was easily three or four times bigger than the Nevarian Colosseum before it had been destroyed. The ceiling was so far above our heads that I couldn’t accurately judge its height. Three things about this room stood out.

The first was the Warp Gate in the center of the room. It looked like the hands that were used to open the entrance to this room, but it was many times bigger. The second thing was the statue in the very back. I used to think it was made of rock, but now it was glowing with white light and looked translucent. A giant of a man was sealed away inside of it, eyes closed as if he was sleeping.

The third thing were the two other people in this room.

“It seems Rache couldn’t keep you all contained,” said the Sekbeist Lord standing next to Hreidmar.

This Sekbeist Lord was big. I didn’t just mean he was tall either. I meant he was fat. He was the only Sekbeist Lord I had seen so far who had a gut so corpulent it bulged out of his armor. While his gut was large, his arms were still thick and covered in muscle, his legs looked quite powerful, and his face held the same appearance as all the other Sekbeist Lords. A pair of horns jutted from his head.

“You can’t expect a single Sekbeist Lord to be capable of defeating us,” I said.

The Sekbeist Lord scoffed. “Big words for someone who obviously ran away.”

“We didn’t fucking run from anything!” Tora snapped. “We just wanted to make sure you couldn’t release another Great Overlord!”

“Is that so? Well, as you no doubt see, you are too late.” The Sekbeist Lord gestured to Hriedmar. “It won’t be long before the Great Overlord of the Third Realm is released from his prison.”

“Not if I have anything to say about it,” Kari said as she stepped forward, held out her hands, and pushed Spiritual Power through her body. Time distorted around us before solidifying around Hreidmar, who froze in place like a block of ice. This was the most powerful time lock I had seen Kari create. It was obvious that her ability to use the Concept of Time had become a lot more refined thanks to our training.

“Hmph. Do you really think I’d let you do that?” asked the Sekbeist Lord. He waved his hand and the time lock around Hreidmar shattered. The Dweorg continued as if nothing had happened.

“Hreidmar! Are you really going to let this man control you?!” I shouted.

Hreidmar said nothing.

“He won’t respond to you,” the Sekbeist Lord said with a nasty grin. “While he can hear everything that’s going on, he is unable to control his actions. All he can do is sit inside of his own mind and watch as he does our bidding. Did you know? When I first enslaved him, I wanted to make sure the enslavement worked properly, so I ordered him to execute many of his brethren. You should have seen it. Watching as the once mighty Dweorg king slaughtered his own subjects. It was glorious.”

I felt sick to my stomach. The Sekbeist were horrible creatures that seemed to embody cruelty, but this was too much even for them. I couldn’t even imagine what Hriedmar must have been feeling right now, trapped within his own mind but still aware, forced to do the bidding of those who had enslaved him. How must he had felt when he was forced to kill his own brethren? I didn’t want to even think about it.

“You’re a monster,” Siv said.

“Thank you for the compliment,” he said.

As this conversation was going on, Tora began shaking. Her face had grown pale as she shivered from her head to her feet. She looked down, shadows covering her eyes, hiding them from view. The Spiritual Power she was subconsciously releasing made me turn my head toward her.

“Tora?” I asked.

Tora ignored me as she stepped forward. “You… are you Gorrick?”

“Oh ho? What’s this? Do you know who I am? Have we met before?” Gorrick cupped a hand to his chin and studied Tora. “Now that I am getting a better look at you, you do look quite familiar, but I can’t quite remember if we have ever met before. Yes, I am Gorrick.”

Tora gnashed her teeth together. I knew what was going to happen before she acted, and I tried to stop her.

“Tora! Wait!”

She did not wait. Her body blurred before disappearing within a burst of speed. Gorrick grinned as he suddenly raised his hand, which had a spiked vambrace covering his forearm. There was a loud clanging sound that echoed through the chamber. Tora had created a powerful-looking sword and swung it at Gorrick, but the Sekbeist Lord had blocked the attack easily with his vambrace.

“That’s quite the bit of anger you have locked away inside of you,” Gorrick said with a grin, his arm not budging a centimeter as Tora pushed against it. “Have I upset you somehow? Did I hurt your little feelings? Come. Come. Talk to good ol’ Gorrick and tell him what’s bothering you.”

“Shut up! Shut the fuck UUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPP!”

Tora’s anger caused her to unleash even more Spiritual Power, which erupted from her body like a torrent. Gorrick was so surprised that he was sent flying back. The Spiritual Power lashed out at everything in the area. The Warp Gate and floors were scorched. Several stray attacks nearly hit Hreidmar, but Lin was quick to create a black barrier around the Dweorg to protect him—she knew Kari and I wanted to save him.

“Ah ha ha ha! Wutend was right! You people are sentimental little fucks! Even though you know killing this little Dweorg is the best way to solve your problems, you still do your best to protect him!” Gorrick laughed.

“SHUT UP, GORRICK!”

Tora dismissed her sword as the eruption of Spiritual Power condensed around her body. Burning bright armor made of many segments covered her chest, vambraces appeared around her forearms, and greaves protected her shins. This was armor made from the Concept of Creation. It looked like she had created a star going nova, shaped it into the form of armor, and donned it.

I wondered if I should call this Nova Armor.

Gorrick just crossed his arms. “I’m not sure why you hate me so much, little girl. While you do look familiar, I am quite sure we’ve never met… before… ahhh. Now I understand. Yes, I see why you look so familiar. You’re Clara’s little girl, aren’t you? Yes. Yes. I can see the family resemblance. This brings back fond memories. You know what happened, don’t you? I enslaved your mother and forced her to fight Fray. But I was a generous man and allowed her the ability of speech! Ha ha ha ha! Fray was in tears as she pleaded with your mom to stop fighting! Meanwhile, your dear mother begged Fray to end her life! It was amusing! So amusing!” Gorrick’s expression darkened. “But then your mother somehow managed to wrest herself free. It was only for a moment, but it was long enough for her to throw herself on Fray’s blade. I felt quite humiliated to see someone break through my enslavement ritual.”

I flinched as I listened to this man talk. Kari, Siv, Fay, and Lin had also frozen when they heard what he was saying. Of course, unlike me, this was the first time they were hearing this.

Tora was in tears as she listened to this man, but they were not tears of sorrow. These were tears of rage. This woman was so angry that I was certain she was no longer thinking straight.

“RRRRAAAAAAAA!!!”

With a cry of anguish, rage, and lust for revenge, Tora threw herself at the laughing Gorrick, who met her attacks head on.

I spoke quietly to my wives. “Kari, I want you to place Hreidmar in a timelock and try to free him from Gorrick’s enslavement ritual. Lin, protect Kari and Hreidmar. Siv and I are going to help Tora. Fay, you—”

“I can fight too,” Fay said.

I bit my lip, but I knew now was not the time to argue. Now was not the time to debate this. My wives knew what their job was, and so while Kari and Lin went over to Hreidmar as he continued dismantling the seal, Siv, Fay, and I disappeared within a Flash Step.

Appearing above Gorrick as he and Tora clashed, I swung my left leg down. My goal was to heel drop him on the head. Gorrick must have sensed me, however, because he suddenly disappeared and my attack came close to hitting the surprised Tora. I only just managed to avoid hitting her by adjusting the course of my leg.

“Don’t get in my way, Eryk!” Tora screamed before whirling around and searching for Gorrick.

Our foe was several dozen meters away, standing there with his arms crossed and a grin on his face. Siv and Fay had already appeared next to him. Fay’s body was covered in flickering black flames. I sensed the dimensional energy around her, though she obviously didn’t have full control over it. On the other hand, Siv’s fists were coated in spatial energy as she thrust them out, unleashing a powerful explosion that would have shattered Gorrick if he wasn’t so strong.

Gorrick waved his hand. The spatial distortions vanished within a swirling black vortex. Then he lifted his other hand and caught Fay’s punch. Before she could get away, Gorrick pulled her forward and planted a fist in her stomach. The woman was sent sailing.

“Fay!” I shouted as I moved behind the woman and caught her in my arms.

“I… I’m fine.” Fay winced as she climbed out of my arms and placed a hand against her stomach. Calming blue Spiritual Power trickled from her palms into her own stomach as she used the water element to heal herself.

Tora was already attacking Gorrick with reckless abandon. Her fists were covered in flaming hot novas of energy. Each attack caused the air around them to burn. The ground around them had already turned a boiling red. Yet Gorrick himself appeared unharmed as he laughed and blocked all of her attacks, his own body covered in void armor.

“Don’t tell me this is the best you can do!” Gorrick said.

“Bastard! I’m gonna fucking kill you!” Tora screamed. I winced. It was clear that Tora had lost it.

“Come on. We need to help Tora before she gets herself killed,” I said.

“Right.” Fay nodded.

As Tora screamed in rage and attacked by unleashing an intense blast of white energy from her fist, Siv locked Gorrick within a spatial lock. It acted similarly to a time lock, but instead of locking someone within a moment in time, it locked someone inside of a confined space. Unfortunately, this was not enough to stop Gorrick. He overpowered the lock with his own Spiritual Power barely a split second after it formed, then dodged Tora’s attack.

Fay and I were waiting for him, however. I had already created my death ruler. The look on Gorrick’s face as I brought the ruler down on him was priceless, though I was disappointed when he caught the weapon between his hands. It was fortunate I wasn’t fighting him alone. Fay’s body flickered as she appeared within his guard. He grunted in pain when she slammed her fists into his armored stomach, releasing several bursts of dimensional energy. She couldn’t break his armor. But this did distract him long enough for Siv to swipe at his head.

As Gorrick went flying, Tora took this moment to descend on him from above. He was unable to guard himself from her attack. She swung her sword, and while it didn’t cut through his armor, the force of her blow sent the man to his knees.

“RRRRAAAAA!!!”

Tora’s face was truly frightening as she raised her blade and swung it again. The singed atmosphere burned brightly as she attempted to bisect her nemesis, but Gorrick had already recovered and caught her blade in a hand coated with darkness. He glared at her as he clenched his hand. The sword shattered. Then he stood up, coated his fists in death energy, and slammed them into her chest.

Eyes widening as her armor shattered, Tora flew backward, struck the ground, and bounced several times. She coughed and gasped as she tried and failed to stand back up.

Gorrick was not about to let that happen. He moved so quickly I could barely see him, appeared before Tora, and swung his leg. But Tora was not there. Siv had pulled Tora into a spatial portal that transported the woman behind us. While his attack missed, the distortion that cut through the air was impressive enough to let me know she would have been split in half had the attack connected.

Sweat trickled down my forehead as I realized we were still outmatched here.

“How’s Tora?” I asked Fay as my wife knelt beside the woman.

“Not good,” Fay admitted, hands on Tora’s chest, gentle blue Spiritual Power flowing from her fingers and into our friend. “That last attack sent death energy into her body. Her chest is all withered and the death energy is trying to spread. I’m keeping it contained but…”

“I understand. Don’t worry. I can counteract the death energy with my own life energy.” I eyed Gorrick as the Sekbeist Lord glared at us. “Though, somehow, I don’t think he’s going to let us.”

“You brats are a lot stronger than I thought you’d be,” Gorrick said with a growl. His cheek where Siv claw slapped him was bruised and covered in four thick lacerations. He also had a dent in his armor. “Wutend told me you brats were all weak, that he defeated you easily. He was honestly shocked when you defeated the Great Overlord of the Fourth Realm.”

“Wutend is obviously an idiot who overestimates himself and underestimates us,” I said. “The only reason he even beat us was because he used cowardly tactics to stall for time.”

“Hmph. False bravado won’t work here,” Gorrick snorted. A shattering sound echoed around us just then, and Gorrick grinned as the blood drained from my face. “Well, whatever. I’ve accomplished my goal. There’s no more reason for me to stick around.” He looked at Tora as the woman gasped and groaned. “I’m sure we’ll see each other again soon. Don’t die on me. I want to enslave you and force you to fight against your loved ones like I did your mother.”

I turned toward Kari and Lin as the man disappeared.

“Watch out, you two! He’s coming!”

Because the battle against Gorrick had forced me to focus only on my enemy, I’d not been able to see what was happening with Kari and Lin. The two of them were obviously weakened. Kari had been trying to keep Hreidmar locked in time so she could break the enslavement ritual, while Lin had been using the Concept of Negation to block stray attacks. They were now on their hands and knees—or hands and tail in Lin’s case—having clearly used up most of their Spiritual Power.

They were weakened right now.

And Gorrick was right next to them.

I raced toward them, knowing I would not make it in time but trying anyway. Time seemed to slow down as Gorrick created claws on his hands made of death energy. My eyes widened. My heart raced with fear. I knew there was nothing I could do, knew they would die even as I reached out my hand as if I could somehow stop them.

And that was when Siv appeared before the two. She had transported herself in front of the pair and blocked Gorrick’s attack. While his powerful claws were enough to send her flying, she had bought me enough time to reach them. I didn’t bother with Gorrick. I grabbed Kari and Lin before they could be killed and raced over to where Siv was climbing back to her feet. Black miasma covered her forearms, but it looked like she’d created spatial armor to protect herself.

Gorrick placed a hand on Hreidmar’s shoulder, glared at us, and then he and the Dweorg disappeared within a swirling distortion.

“They escaped,” I said in disappointment.

“We have other things to worry about now,” Kari said.

I knew exactly what she was talking about. Turning, I looked at what I had originally assumed was a statue, but what I realized now was a crystal coffin shaped like a person. The layer of stone that made it appear innocuous was gone and revealed the person inside. Cracks were appearing along the coffin. More and more appeared before, with a roar, the Great Overlord of the Third Realm broke free of his prison.
