At the moment of Gold IV’s death, several events took place. Ash was given the red Crystal and she began burning the entire celebration to ashes with it… she wanted to avenge her father. Members of Two’s group began fleeing from Ash for two reasons. The first reason was obvious… they did not want to burn. The second reason was an opportunity, an opportunity to obtain the yellow Crystal.

  No one knows exactly how the Crystals work. Yes, each one has its own unique ability… but why? Why were they found in ruins? Why?? Another mystery is the transfer of Crystals, it is as if they have a mind of their own. There are two main ways to obtain the power of a Crystal. The most common way is by passing on a legendary weapon. If a Crystal user wants to pass their power to their successor, all they have to do is voluntarily give them the legendary weapon that helps control the Crystal. The second way is a bit more bloodthirsty. If someone kills the Crystal user, ownership transfers to the murderer.

  Two knew both methods, and so the question was whether there was a third way. What happens if the Crystal user and their killer die at the same moment, which would lead to no one being the owner?

  When Gold erased both himself and Four from the earth, an enormous amount of yellow energy was “dancing” around them. Almost everyone at the celebration fixed their eyes on the place where the fight took place. At the moment when only the clothes that Four and Gold had been wearing remained, and most importantly the spear containing the yellow Crystal, not only all members of Two’s group but all guests of the celebration ran toward the spear… no one knew who the owner was… did that mean that anyone could become the owner?

  Before anyone could reach the spear, a purple portal appeared directly in front of it. At the moment when Two gave the signal to attack, most of the portals that had been opened closed as soon as all the attackers stepped out of them… except for one. Two called this portal the observation portal. The person who creates the portals has a clear task, to watch through that portal whether everything is going according to plan. The moment the yellow spear was without an owner, the person on the other side of the portal opened another portal and came to retrieve it. The yellow Crystal was on Two’s group’s side.

  When the spear was stolen, several portals opened near the members of Two’s group. Ninety seven attackers assaulted Onyx’s celebration. Twenty of them were killed on the spot, and three quarters of those attackers were defeated solely thanks to the power of the Crystals... mostly because of the insane Ash, who burned half of the celebration down. Four were defeated by Swing III... the current best swordsman in Middleworld, a member of the army of the kingdom of the black Crystal. The last one was defeated by Sand II. Sand fought him for far too long, which resulted in him being unable to help Gold in his fight… Sand’s best friend died, and Sand could do nothing about it.

  As for the guests of the celebration, out of two hundred and twenty guests only half survived. Of the survivors, most were injured. Among the most serious injuries was the leader of the army of the black Crystal kingdom, Grin I, the father of Grin II who is Horw’s best friend. Others included Aqua IV, who lost an arm and many guests with very serious stab wounds or extremely severe burns. The most serious injuries were suffered by Flame V, who had both a stab wound in his back and burns, as he was in the center of the burning surroundings when he passed the red Crystal to Ash.

  The day that no one will forget did not end at the celebration… Two went after the black Crystal, whose owner was Horw.

  The death of Gold was a huge event, but at that very moment an even bigger one was taking place. Horwann told Two who was in possession of the black Crystal in order to save the leader of his army. Two jumped into the portal that opened in front of him, with Forty and one more person… a person who had the number thirty nine burned into their arm. Horwann ran away from the celebration toward the city, and a few members of the guard joined him... they had originally been trying to get him out of the bubble created by Forty. As soon as Forty left the celebration, the entire bubble disappeared and the guards could help the bleeding leader and help protecting Horwann.

  This was a huge race. Will Horwann reach his son in time to help him before Two will get the black Crystal or will Two defeat Horw so quickly that Horwann will not arrive in time? The yellow and blue Crystals were already lost… the black one must remain in the kingdom of the black Crystal! It must remain in the kingdom of the black Crystal… it must.

  “Duuude! I’m telling you, what you did was the right thing. Personally, I’d never have the balls for it, but you… you just walked in there, grabbed an axe, and boommmm. False without a head. The idiot got what he deserved!” - Horw was sitting with his best friend Grin in a tavern located in the city. Horw and Grin were sitting in a room for special guests so that the locals would not bother them… after all, the son of the king and the son of the army leader could cause quite a commotion.

  “Grin, shut up please… you don’t have to be here… I didn’t know you’d be here today.”

  “But duuuuudeee what was I supposed to do!!! Going to celebrations of those fancy noble idiots really didn’t appeal to me… and man, what are you even talking about? I was the one sitting here first!” - Grin patted Horw on the back, trying to improve his mood at least a little, but Horw was holding a lot of emotions inside.

  Horw stood up from the table. - “You’re right, you were here first. Enjoy getting drunk, I really don’t feel like joking today.”

  “Duuuuuudeeee come oooon.” - Grin shouted after Horw as Horw left the tavern through the back entrance so no one would see him.

  ''Well, someone’s gotta drink for him too!'' - Grin was celebrating today as well, just differently than everyone else :)

  Horw walked through the city streets for a while, when suddenly a purple portal appeared in front of him, from which Two, Forty, and Thirty nine emerged.

  I swear, I only had two beers.

  “Greetings! Your name is Horw, right?” - Two asked Horw.

  “Greetings!!! Respectfully please go fuck yourself!” - Horw changed his route and began walking away from Two. Suddenly, a bubble wall appeared in his path.

  “Of course! I’ll leave immediately, I just need you to hand over your sword… that beautiful little sword that contains the black Crystal.”

  “What if I give you that sword by stabbing it into your head? This is the last warning, stop blocking my way. Yesterday I did something I hoped I would never have to do… I killed someone. But you know what I realized? Sometimes people really deserve it… and you know what? Trying to rob someone and prevent their freedom of movement seems like a pretty serious offense to me!” - Horw drew his sword, the sword containing the black Crystal.

  “Thirty nine… bring me that sword.” - Thirty-nine ran toward Horw… the fight for the black Crystal officially began!
