Veran vs. The Assassin King
As Veran walks through the ruins of his home, a figure appears from the poisonous fog that still hangs over the rubble.
He is tall, draped in a black cloak, his ivory mask belying all emotion. It is the Assassin King, the Puppet Master of War's deadliest mercenary.
"You are the last of your line, Veran," he says in a cold voice. "And your legacy will end today."
Without warning, the Assassin King strikes with inhuman speed. His blades graze Veran like deadly spectres, as the warrior tries to dodge the blows.
But something is strange. The Assassin King knows his every move. As if he had fought against the Nyx Clan before.
Veran realizes the truth too late: this man… killed his parents.
Rage overwhelms him, the poison in his blood becoming a deadly flame. Now he is not just fighting to survive. He is fighting for revenge.
Raigor vs. The Pink Dragon
In the Afterlife, Raigor advances through a landscape of cold flames and forgotten ruins. The Grass of the Endless is near… but he is not alone.
From the sky descends a huge creature, a colossal beast covered in shimmering pink scales, its eyes glowing like dying stars.
"You are not worthy to take what belongs to the dead," roars the Pink Dragon. "Show me your strength, or you will be condemned to remain here forever."
Raigor clenches his fists. He cannot fail. Not after all he has faced.
The dragon attacks with eternal flames, capable of burning the soul. Raigor dodges by a hair's breadth, then jumps and strikes with all his might, but the Pink Dragon's scales are impenetrable.
He must find another way.
Then he remembers the words of the Divine Physician: "Not everything is won by strength."
If the Pink Dragon is the guardian of the Afterlife... then perhaps he is not just an enemy.
Raigor lowers his fists and shouts: "I am not here to steal anything! I am here to save a life!"
The Dragon stops. He looks at him. Then he smiles.
"Perhaps you are different from the other warriors who came before you."
Instead of continuing the fight, the Pink Dragon bows his head and grants Raigor access to the Herb of the Eternals.
But as he collects it... something moves in the shadows.
He is not alone in this world of the dead. Someone else is watching him.
