At the foothill behind the Governor's residence,
Charles entered a hidden cave that slithered downward, leading into an ancient underground palace.
The massive stalactites reflected dazzling, ethereal light under the glow of red and blue magical crystals, resembling a descent into a dream.
At the deepest part of the palace, two pairs of massive, furnace-like eyes suddenly opened—
These were two legendary magical beasts resembling griffins, but far larger!
Towering like spires, their bodies were covered in scales like metal, and golden horns shimmered with light.
One was surrounded by a mist of deep blue water, while the other bathed in scorching flames, majestic and divine, intimidating to the point where one dared not look directly at them.
Their bloodlines, ancient and fierce like griffins, seemed to emanate from mythic times.
Even with their pressure contained, the overwhelming aura was enough to terrify anyone with weak hearts.
"You've come?"
