North, a few hours before the clash between heroes and demons, two heroes stood, barely finishing their quests and trying their best to handle a situation they hadn't asked for.
Halie and Charlie had arrived in this kingdom exactly eight days ago. After reaching level 80 in the labyrinth, they set out to complete their trials and succeeded.
For Halie, it was about binding the spirit of a high-caliber elemental. She chose the fire spirit as her final choice. Previously, she had gained the help of the Earth and Electric spirits. Now, with Fire as well, she had the power to summon something truly formidable.
She was successful—fortunately, Charlie had been nearby. His trial had come from the Great Fire Spirit, and now, his new class was Crimson Monarch, granting him the power to wield raw fire.
