The dungeon gates opened with a heavy rumble The tall walls covered in black crystals shimmered under the dark energy seeping from within the air was so thick it barely allowed anyone to breathe This place was not for ordinary players only the strongest dared to enter Once a month the Abyssal Sovereign event opened and tonight it had begun Thousands of guilds were waiting for their turn yet only four stepped into the heart of the dungeon The whole server was watching because these four were at the very peak the most famous and the most feared players in the world
Before them on a throne rising from the black tide sat the creature Drauveth Lord of Shadows His wings spread across the dungeon ceiling as if ready to swallow the entire world Flames of dark fire burned in his eyes freezing the heart of anyone who met his gaze
The first step forward came from Kael Known in the game as the Iron Fist King he was a real boxer his reflexes sharp his movements quick and his punches like lightning The giant gauntlets on his fists sparked with thunder as he looked back briefly and said
— The right side is mine
Then he charged forward His fist smashed into the dungeon floor cracking it and sending black dust into the air Drauveth exhaled heavily swung his wings and black fire rushed to consume Kael
At that moment the second player stepped in Orryn called the Crown of Relics Born into wealth he had invested the most in the game and gathered the rarest artifacts On his shoulder shone a heavy shield glowing with holy light while his body was clad in Celestial Armor The shield absorbed the black flames bursting with waves of radiance The strike shook the dungeon yet for a moment its light pushed back the darkness
Behind them Zeyrad the Great Genius stood in silence watching the field His long sword looked plain but with every strike the runes upon it lit up forming unique patterns He looked more like a general than a warrior His cold eyes studied the battlefield and in a calm voice he gave orders
— Kael break the left side the energy flow is coming from there Orryn strengthen your shield three hits are coming Syren move from the left wing and bind him Now
The fourth player Syren smiled Known as the Assassin in Shadows he had grown up poor struggling with part time jobs but in the game he was an artist Nobody ever knew where he would appear and when he struck it was always deadly Dark threads formed in his hands slicing through the air and binding Drauveth's wings
Drauveth shrieked the entire dungeon shook Black energy surged upward crystals fell from the ceiling Orryn's shield kept shining trying to hold back the impact but the dark tide grew stronger cracks spreading across the shield Zeyrad did not raise his voice but his orders cut sharp
— Kael strike forward again This moment will break his defense
Kael pulled back his fist gathering his strength Thunder flared around the Titan Gauntlets Dragon Breaker Strike he roared and slammed into Drauveth's chest Punch after punch shattered the dungeon floor splitting the black flames in two Drauveth screamed forced to retreat
Syren tightened his threads around the wings his eyes flashing
— Try to escape you cursed beast
But Drauveth was no ordinary creature With a roar he drowned the entire dungeon in darkness Symbols carved themselves in the air energy rushing into a massive orb forming at the center Zeyrad took a deep breath
— Now the real battle begins
Kael raised his fists stepping forward Orryn held his shield firm light protecting them all Syren vanished back into the shadows with a grin Drauveth had entered his second phase and this fight was no longer just a battle for the players it was becoming history for everyone watching
