A new threat rose in a remote village—Erval. Cursed armored creatures had appeared.
The King summoned Zero and the six princesses.
— "This is your trial," the King said.
They arrived to find the village destroyed, silent, lifeless.
Then the monsters came.
Zero charged into battle. At first, he avoided using magic—fighting only with blade and instinct.
But when Lyria was injured, everything changed.
— "Let me handle this," the curse whispered.
— "Just once," Zero answered.
The ground cracked. The sky darkened.
Zero's Domain expanded—"Temple of the Dual Mind."
Inside, monsters froze in fear. Their minds shattered under mental pressure.
Zero walked through the shadows.
— "This is my world. And here, I rule."
In seconds, the enemies fell. When the Domain faded, Zero dropped to one knee, exhausted.
Lyria approached him.
— "You were terrifying... and magnificent."
