In an unknown place filled with darkness, several figures gathered within the confines of this dark-filled place. Resembling an abyssal cave underground, these figures covered in shadows spoke in harsh and hoarse voices.

These figures had bright and sharp crimson-red eyes, many of them encompassed in pure shadows as their abyssal auras emerged from their bodies. They seemed to all be formidably strong. Divinities pouring out of them as if each one of them was like an ocean of darkness…

"The girl… We were not able to capture her…" said one of the figures, kneeling before the largest of them all sitting within a dark throne. Unlike the others, this entity only had a single crimson-red eye and many tentacle-like growths from his shadow aura, looking utterly abyssal.

"We used the powerful Divine Technique to bring her to sleep into a Soul-Trapping Nightmare where her body couldn't move through the duration of the assassination…" said another.

"But there was a factor we didn't took into consideration, the man… The man that the Key is with… he's strong. formidably strong. way stronger than he showed himself to be…" said a third.

"When we tried to use the Soul-Trapping Nightmare Divine Technique on him too, it didn't worked. It was as if he was immune to such powers…" said the first one again.

"However, we believed that our assassins, all of them at Great God-Realm, would had been able to defeat him…" said a second.

"But we were wrong, it… it failed." Sighed the third.

"Hmmm… You're telling me that this man the Key is hanging around with is capable of singlehandedly defeat three Great God-Realm Assassins infused with Divine Equipment and Weapons capable of destroying souls… and that he's even immune to our divine techniques regarding nightmare manipulation?" asked the figure sitting over the throne of darkness.

"Y-Yes…"

"Gggrrr… To think that there would be a day we would fight against such a formidable foe… is he a hidden old monster? Perhaps he's another of the Ancient Sages that is trying to protect the Key…" said the leader.

"Another Sage?! But I am sure that… All the Sages were defeated long ago, the last one also succumbed at the end out of the Life-consuming Curse! The power granted to us by the Shadow Dimension is capable of many things, it's impossible that one of them would be alive after we used such powers granted to us for the domination of this Dimension!" said another figure.

"But this seems to be wrong! There is another with the power that can fight against our strength! The Dark Shadow Dimension is expecting us to activate the Key by slaying its vessel… we cannot take too much time doing nothing!" said the leader.

"We cannot let them wait any longer, our lords from the Dark Shadow Dimension…!" said another.

"We had been here for years, slowly trying to take down all four of the Sages protecting the Key and its Vessel, and now that she finally walked outside of the Divine Grotto left by the Ocean Sage and we were finally able to dispose of her… Someone else shows up and ruins our plans! How frustrating… What is destiny anymore?! Who is this man anyways? Who brough him here?!" asked the leader.

The figures all began to talk with one another as they showed their leader a projection made by the memories of the assassins, which they retrieved to their own hideout through special items. They knew that there were methods to catch souls and read their memories, so they simply teleported the souls back to them after these assassins died.

In the projections, it showed Gustav fighting with the power of his abilities, the power of his Supreme Summoning was the most interesting and insane of them all, however, the power of his Summoning powers, his fantastical spear, his aura of spiritual elemental spears, and more were all outstanding, and to boot, his body seemed indestructible as it glowed with bright energy as if he had been shaped and forged by the dimension itself…

Who was this man, really?

Everyone was left speechless as they saw Gustav's incredible performances. His amazing usage of powers was incredible beyond believe. What he was able to do was amazing and it left all those that watched speechless.

Even the leader looked while squinting his enormous eye, looking at how Gustav teleported around through Summoning himself, and then even summoning his own enemies near him… they also saw how he had the power to summon these three powerful beasts… which one of them had been left protecting the Key and its Vessel…

Everyone analyzed his power and his abilities, his energy, his divinities, his aura… and they simply couldn't comprehend it well. It was as if he had come from a completely different universe or something!

And well, he did!

"This Origin… This man's presence… the power he has… what is he?!" asked another of them.

"He has another power dwelling within him, some sort of aura of energy… an Universal Essence we cannot properly discern! What… what are they?!" asked another.

"I don't know but… this means bad news. This man's strength seems formidable. We cannot easily deal with him if we send some measly assassins… our next attack must be coordinated well. We cannot risk another lose." Said another.

"Indeed! We cannot risk another lose, we must do everything we can to defeat them at all cost… Our Dark Shadow Dimensional Lords are asking for the Key! We cannot disappoint them!"

"We must work hard and use their gifted powers… at all cost!"

The figures seemed to be decided to fight with everything they had… Gustav was completely unaware of the chaos that was brewing behind his back as these figures started to plan his demise in his back, gathering their power and resources for an ambush using a more meticulous and detailed approach!

Would Gustav be able to fight against these beings and prevail?

Meanwhile, within a completely different dimension, many monstrous entities of grotesque appearances made of darkness and shadows seemed to be looking at everything in silence…
