There was a time when humans and demons were perpetually at war, but there was a time of lies and exploitation, where legendary men didn't know who the real enemy was.
Shadow continued his way looking for an exit from the dark realm of "Black Viper" and he found a large castle in front of him

Shadow knew it would be dangerous, but somehow he had to get out
Shadow approached the large castle cautiously, his keen senses alert for any signs of danger. The castle loomed ominously before him, and he could sense a powerful aura emanating from within. Taking a deep breath, he steeled himself and entered the castle, moving silently and stealthily through its dark corridors.
"Black Viper":You are approaching your end, Shadow
Shadow didn't answer and continued on his way
"Black Viper":The death of the "Seven Shades" was your fault alone
Shadow, annoyed by her razor-sharp words, didn't answer this time either and continue on his way
"Black Viper":Those poor girls trusted you, and you let them die
As "Black Viper" continued to taunt Shadow with accusations and guilt, Shadow's steps didn't falter. He knew the weight of his past actions, and he carried that burden with him every day. The memory of the "Seven Shades" haunted him, a constant reminder of the mistakes he had made.
"Black Viper":Poor Alpha trusted you more than anyone, what a silly girl
Shadow gritted his teeth, trying to maintain his composure despite the painful memories resurfacing. Alpha was one of the "Seven Shades," a close friend and ally who had placed her trust in him. He couldn't deny that her death weighed heavily on his conscience.
Shadow: *Speaking firmly* Alpha was a dear friend, and her loss is something I'll carry with me forever. But I won't let her death be in vain. I will honor her memory by fighting for justice and protecting those I care about.
"Black Viper": *Mocking* Fighting for justice, are we? You're nothing more than a coward who hides behind his skills and pretends to be a hero.
Shadow continued on his way
"Black Viper": Beta idolized you, saw you as a figure of reference, what did you do to reciprocate his loyalty?
As "Black Viper" brought up Beta's name, another wave of guilt washed over Shadow. Beta was another member of the "Seven Shades" who had looked up to him as a mentor and a figure of strength. Shadow knew that Beta had admired him and sought guidance from him, but he also knew that he had failed him in the end.
Shadow: *With a heavy heart* Beta deserved better from me. He deserved someone who could protect her, someone who could lead her to a brighter future. But I failed her, just like I failed Alpha and the others. I let my own demons consume me, and I couldn't be the person he needed.
"Black Viper": And what makes you think you can be that person now? You're still the same coward who couldn't save them.
