[QUEST: DEFEAT THE FIRELORD TWINTHRAX]
[REWARD: NYM-ORE SCALE ARMOR]
[BONUS QUEST: TAME 100 BEINGS]
[REWARD: TITLE: SAVIOR OF THE DAMNED]
"The last dragon I fought against hasn't been able to summon her lightning since. I'm sure we needn't say her name." I taunted.
"A human who can speak dov, interesting. I also can't sense any Qhi from you at all. But, this dragon you speak of couldn't be..." Twinthrax questioned.
"Stormthrax." I answered with a mocking grin.
Suddenly his entire body was coated in black lighting, as he stared at me with vengeful eyes.
His lightning destroyed my dark forces with ease, but they immediately revived each time.
"I've been waiting to meet you, Senshi Arma. The ultimate swordsman who defeated my sister. All in the name of your hypocritical Nîxworld and their..." Twinthrax responded.
[SKILL: WIND MOVEMENT]
[SKILL: MISWAK]
Before he could finish his slander, I blitzed towards him, using all of my physical strength to decapitate one of his heads with a swift s***h.
Luckily I retained Godbreaker's divine nullification and purification, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pierce his scales.
I commanded my dark forces to attack him, preventing him from mounting a solid strategy.
As my forces attacked, I attempted to decapitate his other head, but Twinthrax flung me into the air while regrowing his head.
One of his heads spewed black lighting from its mouth, while the other fired black flames.
[NEW SKILL ADDED: SENSHI'S DRAGON LIGHTING]
I used my green lightning to evade their initial attacks, but the heads locked onto me, forcing me to use my full speed to evade.
"So that's how you wanna play?" I said.
I started flying away using my full speed, forcing Twinthrax to chase me.
The moment Twinthrax flew towards me, I summoned all of the wind and dragon lighting I could muster with my current power.
[NEW SKILL ADDED: ANCIENT DRAGON LIGHTING WHIRL]
I created a storm, using my wind and lightning in this sky-less realm, causing tornados and lightning showers to occur across the dimension.
"See, this is why everyone hates Nîxworld. You're nothing but the ultimate weapon, destined to be used by others!" Twinthrax yelled, as he fired black lighting and flames towards me.
"How about you stop struggling and die like a good lizard." I taunted.
This guy is no joke, but I'm still superior in terms of power.
I clasped my hands together, activating the second stage of my skill.
All of the wind and lightning encased twintraxx in a green sphere, which slowly imploded.
I activated the final stage of the skill, causing the sphere to erupt, releasing a massive shockwave that instantaneously vaporized Twinthrax along with the entire landscape.
But, the castle remained untouched.
Ah, now I see.
Someone put a barrier of will around the castle.
Well, I'll deal with that in a moment, first things first.
"Cross The Fog." I said in a calm tone.
[QUEST COMPLETED: DEFEATED THE FIRELORD TWINTHRAX]
[REWARD: NYM-ORE SCALE ARMOR]
[NYM-ORE SCALE ARMOR: ENCASES SKIN IN NYM-ORE MIMICKING THE ANCIENT DRAGONS SKIN OF STONE, NYM-ORE DURABILITY STRENGTHS WITH WISDOM, NYM-ORE IS IMMUNE TO FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS, ABILITY HAS ABYSSAL PROPERTIES]
[BONUS QUEST COMPLETED: 378/100 TAMED]
[REWARD: TITLE: SAVIOR OF THE DAMNED]
[SAVIOR OF THE DAMNED: ALLOWS YOU TO USE THE INNATE ABILITY OF EACH MEMBER OF YOUR DARK FORCES]
All of the slain soldiers along with Twinthrax began to rise from the ground, all of their eyes emitting the same green glow as my own.
"Return." I said.
All of my dark forces were dragged into my shadow.
I wonder what's up with this armor.
[NEW SKILL ADDED: NYM-ORE SCALE ARMOR]
My entire body was covered from head to toe in black Nym-Ore, my green energy leaked out from the armor scales, which were covered in my dragon lightning.
Hell yeah, this is way cooler than Godbreaker's demonic armor.
[SKILL: MISWAK]
So Miswak is still able to fuse with my elements, perfect.
[NEW SKILL ADDED: MISWAK LIGHTING MODE]
Before I go into this castle, I wanna see what those skill points mentioned before were about.
[OPEN STORE]
Yes.
[CHOOSE CATEGORY: WEAPONS, ARMOR, TALISMANS, CONSUMABLES, SKILLS, TOOLS, CRAFTING, BOLSTERING, MYSTERY BOXES, AND KEY ITEMS]
Well it's a lot, but still straight forward for the most part.
At the moment, I should try key items.
[KEY ITEMS AVAILABLE: HEL CASTLE KEY AND HEL KINGDOM MAP]
[HEL CASTLE KEY AND HEL KINGDOM MAP: 75 SKILL POINTS]
I'll buy both.
[PURCHASE SUCCESSFUL]
I slowly started memorizing the map of Hel, as the castle key dropped into my hand from thin air.
I pushed the key into the barrier as if it was a lock, opening a small window for me to step through.
As I reached the castle doors, I could feel the presence of one powerful soul. The aura around the castle gave me chills.
I pushed the castle doors open and was immediately struck in the head with a spear.
[NEW PASSIVE SKILL ADDED: WALL OF ORE]
[WALL OF ORE: WHILE WEARING NYM-ORE SCALE ARMOR ATTACKS FROM WEAKER OPPONENTS ARE COMPLETELY NULLIFIED]
So I can even gain passive skills.
It seems like I'll be able to become even stronger than I was when I wielded Godbreaker.
[A NEW QUEST HAS BEEN STARTED]
[QUEST: DEFEAT ZULA THE IMPALER]
[REWARDS: DAYBAT, MAGE, ASSASSIN]
"I can see through your stealth abilities, so come out already." I said.
Zula stepped out from the shadows, wearing her black knight armor.
"Beyond here lies the throne room. You're the fifth person to make it to this door and you'll be the fifth to fall!" Zula said, as she entered her battle stance with her spear.
"Finally, a worthy combatant, our battle will be legendary! You'll be my first general." I declared.
[SKILL: SENSHI'S DRAGON LIGHTING]
[SKILL: MISWAK]
I blitzed towards Zula, attempting to decapitate her immediately, she parried with ease, before landing a thunderous knee to my ribs.
Her attack cracked the torso of my scale armor, nearly crumbling my armor.
I underestimated her attack potency, her agility is also very high, but I still hold the edge in speed.
I retreated back, but she immediately closed the distance going for a direct stab.
[SKILL: SENSHI'S DRAGON LIGHTING]
[NEW SKILL ADDED: DRAGON LIGHTING BLADE]
[SKILL: MISWAK LIGHTING MODE]
I summoned a lighting blade in my left hand while enchanting Miswak with lighting.
The moment she was close enough, I parried her spear with Miswak, stabbing her in the stomach with my lightning blade.
She grabbed my right arm, pulling me towards her, punching me in the head with her full strength.
The impact shattered my helmet, sending me flying back several meters. My forehead started dripping with blood covering my face.
[SKILL: WIND MOVEMENT]
[SKILL: MISWAK]
[SKILL: SENSHI'S DRAGON LIGHTING]
[SKILL: DRAGON LIGHTING BLADE]
I activated Miswak and summoned another lightning blade in my left hand, while channeling the lighting and wind at my feet.
Damn, this is risky, but our power is too close to be overly cautious.
I must end her now before she can land anymore damage.
I blitzed towards Zula, she skillfully attempted to parry, but I overwhelmed her with sheer speed.
I got behind her before she could react, decapitating her, I lifted her head with my lighting blade, before stabbing my blade into the ground.
I used a lot of power, but I still managed to defeat her.
That makes me wonder though, if she was protecting Hel, then how powerful is Hel herself?
"Cross The Fog." I said in a calm tone.
Zula shadow stood up, holding her spear, now emitting that familiar green aura.
My first general, I must give her my own name.
"Your name is now Azula." I said.

Judging by these rewards, it seems my theory about the heart helping me understand my power was correct.
The system also seems to be allowing me to obtain the best benefit from my situations.
But, it also seems like no one in Hel actually knows what this place is, nor do they know who or what Hel herself actually is.
Not even Azula actually understood who or what she was serving.
Every being I've absorbed so far has given me a different perspective of Hel's true form, but each of them share one theme.
Chaos.
I'm ready to see this chaos for myself.
