After the deaths of Malakar and Shadow, Kage emerged from the black tunnels and found himself in a vast, cold void. This void was a passage opening into the depths of the dark land. Now it was time to develop a broader strategy for their new goals and plans.
Karos and Ravenna, Malakar's former allies, went after the Kage. Masters of the dark arts and battle strategies, these two beings were determined to defeat the Kage.
Karos was a master of war and strategy. He was a warrior who took part in bloody wars for centuries and increased his power with the dark arts. When he heard that the Kage had killed Malakar, he wondered if this was a force that could challenge his abilities. Karos, who wanted to expand his own kingdom and power, was making plans to destroy the Kage.
Ravenna was one of the most powerful masters of magic and black arts. He had practiced dark magic for years, specializing in manipulating spirits and energies. After Malakar's death, Ravenna took action to investigate and weaken the Kage's power.
The moment Kage knew Karos and Ravenna were turning on him, he decided to launch a strong attack. Using his dark powers, he developed a plan to disrupt Karos' war strategies and Ravenna's spells. Now, he was fighting not only with physical strength, but also dark mind games.
The Kage decided to use an ancient temple to lure Karos into a trap. The temple was filled with dark forces from ancient times, and it would be possible for the Kage to use it to neutralize Karos.
When Karos stepped into the temple, he encountered the Kage's trap. As the dark energies of the temple slowed Karos down, the Kage emerged from the shadows and smiled wryly.
"Ah, warrior Karos," the Kage said, brandishing his scythe. "How brave you are. But unfortunately, this courage will not be enough to save you."
Karos drew his sword in anger. "It is my honor to fight you, Kage. But I will defeat you."
Kage deftly dodged Karos' attacks and laughed mockingly. "Honour? Oh, how pathetic. It's tragicomic that weaklings like you talk about honor."
The Kage's dark strategies neutralized Karos. He broke his sword, knocked Karos down and absorbed his soul. "I told you," Kage said coldly. "You just fed me."
Ravenna was enraged when she sensed Karos' death. "I must handle this myself," he said, and set out to find the Kage, his dark spells ready. As Kage moved deeper into the forest, he sensed Ravenna's presence and smiled.
Ravenna was holding a magical orb in her hands when she appeared like a dark shadow. "I came to play games with you," he said coldly. "But this game will be the end of you."
Kage responded by laughing at Ravenna's words. "Games are for entertainment. Show me how you will entertain me."
Ravenna threw the dark orb towards the Kage. The sphere brimmed with dark energy and exploded around the Kage, sending dark flames all around. Kage looked like he had suffered by being engulfed in these flames.
"Is this your big plan?" the Kage sneered, emerging from the flames unharmed. "It was good for me to warm up a bit."
Ravenna prepared a stronger spell, her eyes wide with horror. Raising his hands in the air, he summoned dark clouds and attacked the Kage with black lightning falling from the sky. However, Kage was only slightly affected by these spells.
"Really?" Kage said as he headed towards Ravenna. "I could play with you some more, but how do you think you're going to beat me with such weak spells?"
Kage swung his scythe and easily broke through Ravenna's defensive spells, knocking her out. "Your darkness is child's play compared to mine," Kage said as he plunged his scythe into Ravenna's chest. "You have a pitiful end."
While Ravenna breathed her last, unable to resist the Kage's power, the Kage became even stronger by absorbing her soul. "How simple and worthless you are," Kage muttered sarcastically. "But you still fed me."
Kage continued to move deeper into the forest, feeling his strength grow even more. Each step made him a darker and more ruthless warrior. Every enemy he faced was merely a tool to increase his power, and the Kage was unstoppable on his journey to power.
Kage grinned darkly and muttered, "I grow stronger with every step. Every poor soul I encounter is just a stepping stone to me. Those who are foolish enough to stand in my way will only disappear into the shadows. Power was born with me and will become immortal with me. I am unstoppable and whoever comes my way." "Everyone will be a part of this dark journey."
