The Royal Guard of the Xaos Kingdom continued their descent through the dungeon with unwavering focus. The lower levels were crawling with hundreds of Guardians, each clad in top-tier armor and trained in advanced combat techniques. Under normal circumstances, a mission like this would require an entire army. But Mirena, Frank, Roman, Clasius, and Amara moved like unstoppable forces of nature. Their movements were calculated, precise, and devastating.
Despite the overwhelming opposition, they advanced, cutting down enemy after enemy with efficiency born not just of skill, but of something deeper—something transcendent. The difference wasn't just in their power levels, but in the very essence of their being. They were no longer mere warriors. After undergoing the evolution at the hands of Overlord, they had become something else entirely.
Nightmare Knights.
