Chapter 13 - Shadows Within

Suho slashed through the twisted rock limbs with Umbra, the sword slicing through the dark energy with ease. But for every limb he cut down, two more seemed to sprout up in its place.

Beru zipped around Suho's head, her antennae glowing with a soft blue light as she scanned the area. "Suho, I'm reading a massive energy source coming from the center of the rock formations!" she shouted.

Suho nodded, his eyes fixed on the swirling vortex of darkness. "That's our target! Let's go!"

With a fierce cry, Suho charged forward, Umbra flashing in the dim light. The rock limbs reached out to stop him, but Suho dodged and weaved, his Shadow Arts powers guiding him through the treacherous terrain.

As he approached the center of the rock formations, Suho could feel the dark energy growing thicker, more oppressive. He raised Umbra, ready to strike...

But as he reached the heart of the vortex, Suho was met with a shocking sight. A massive crystal monolith towered above him, its surface etched with ancient runes that pulsed with dark energy.

And at the base of the monolith, the dark figure waited, its eyes blazing with malevolent triumph.

"Welcome, Suho," it said, its voice dripping with malice. "I've been waiting for you. You see, this crystal monolith is the key to unlocking the secrets of the Shadow Realm. And with Umbra in my possession, I'll be able to control the very fabric of darkness itself."

Suho's grip on Umbra tightened, his determination to stop the dark figure burning brighter than ever. "You'll never have Umbra," he growled. "Not while I'm still standing."
