~Chapter 4: A Test of Strength
The Abyssal Lord commanded the spectral crowd to silence their cheers. "I am disappointed but thrilled," he exclaimed. "Let me leak some secrets: Eternal is the past owner of this realm, before I defeated him" He restored Zorak's vitality, forbidding summoning for a strength-based challenge. "You're a summoner, so you could not par in hand-to-hand combat," he added, summoning Lane, the Ruler of the Demon Sorcerers, to fight Zorak fairly.
Lane, a crimson-skinned warrior with fiery orange eyes, defeated Zorak with ease, his physical prowess overwhelming the summoner. The Abyssal Lord, watching, declared Zorak unworthy of fighting but recognized his skill in summoning and sorcery. "You shall prove your worth by handling the souls realm's management ," he said, granting Zorak a new role as the realm's manager.
