Night Time

"Asta wakes up, he looks around and notice the place is different"

Asta: *This is strange, the last time a left it wasn't like this* 

"The place is darker than the shadow realm"

Asta: "He looks around and notice some pillars" *Hmm? strange, that wasn't there before...* "He notice a figure sitting on the chair" *Who's that? this mana.... It's almost like my brother but, there's something off* 

"The figure stands up and slowly walks towards Asta. He can't see him properly because of the darkness" 

Asta: *He looks like a shadow soldier. But, looks more like my armor....*

"The figure then stopped"

???: So you're the successor of Jin Woo

Asta: *He knows him?* How do you know my brother?

"The room suddenly brighten up revealing the figure"

???: Because.... 

"Asta's eyes widen"

???: I am Ashborn, The first Shadow Monarch

???: I am Ashborn, The first Shadow Monarch. Your brother is my successor

Asta: *My brother's master? Now it makes sense why he has the same feeling as my brother* How did you get in my mind?

Ashborn: When your brother pass on the power to you, I was transported here. Since then I observed you, how you fight and how you use the power. I assumed you felt your power increase back at your battle?

Asta: Now that you mention it, yes I have. If it's okay to ask, Why did my power suddenly increase?

Ashborn: It's a sign that your body is adapting pretty quickly to the power. Did you feel tired while you're using it?

Asta: Yes, That's why I inflict enough damage for me to finish it with one powerful move

Ashborn: That's a sign that you need to train more, because in future battles, getting tired is a weakness and it can cause you a life or yours. This power is always increasing that's why you need to be careful

Asta: I will, I promise to master this power

Ashborn: Asta

Asta: What is it?

Ashborn: Now that you achieve this level of power, Let me introduce the others 

Asta: Others?

"Ashborn called some soldiers or more like dragons. They stand up and appeared behind the chair. Asta was astonished"

 Asta was astonished"
