chapter 888: the asura

    ?

    mennena knew that her plans could finally continue after breaking free from that prison. she just needed some time to quickly recover to her full strength.

    indeed, despite her elation, she knew she had to remain hidden. her body was not yet fully recovered, and revealing her presence too soon would alert the immortals of this realm. she needed time to regain control over her powers.

    "тар... тар... тар...

    the dungeon''s silence was broken only by the distant drip of water and the occasional scurrying of rats.

    ''hu~''

    mennena took a deep breath as she had to calm her excited heart. she knew that the paragons, those who had wronged her, would pay dearly for their actions. however, she had already waited a long time, and she could not make a mess right now.

    "paragons... you fools... i will have my revenge soon," mennena vowed. her voice echoed through the dungeon as she vanished into the shadows once more.

    her master plan was just beginning, and she would stop at nothing to reclaim her power and exact her vengeance.

    ***

    two months had quickly passed, and during this time, jin and the others were able to complete all the things they needed in order to open a path to allow the previous prisoners of the celestial prison realm to enter the human realm.

    this matter was huge since they would certainly be suppressed by the will of the realm once they entered.

    furthermore, they could only let the others realize that they were planning to let hundreds of non-humans live peacefully in this realm. after all, this would be a huge change not just in their society but in the whole continent.

    one afternoon, as sreas was meditating near a tranquil stream, chad, the half-dragon, approached him with a broad grin.

    chad had been part of the team that had freed sreas from the celestial prison realm, and the two had developed a mutual respect for each other''s abilities.

    "sreas, how about a practice match?" chad suggested, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

    sreas opened his third eye, assessing chad''s energy levels. "i have recovered more than half of my strength already... are you sure?" he asked, his voice a deep rumble.

    "hahaha... that''s better! let''s go to that hill and have a match!" chad replied with excitement...

    without waiting for a response, he burst into a sprint, his powerful legs propelling him towards a nearby hill.

    sreas stood up, stretching his four arms and feeling the dark energy coursing through his veins.

    a practice match with chad would be an excellent way to test his regained strength. with a swift motion, he followed chad; his movements were swift, and he didn''t lose out compared to chad''s speed.

    as they reached the hill, the two warriors faced each other, and the temperature in the surroundings immediately drop.

    the hilltop was a perfect battleground, offering a wide, open space surrounded by dense

    forest.

    soon, chad''s dragon scales glinted in the sunlight, while sreas''s dark aura seemed to absorb the light around him.

    "let''s see what you''ve got, half-dragon," sreas said, a rare smile playing on his lips.

    "bring it on, asura," chad replied, his eyes narrowing in focus.
