Chapter 3 - Chapter 3:" The Center of Power"

Their steps gradually approached the large building that seemed to be the center of these ruins. The structure stood firm despite being surrounded by debris and terrifying shadows. In the distance, the sounds of rumbling and loud explosions continued, reminding them that this world was full of danger.

"This is where we need to find the answer," said Sai Fan, staring at the building with determined eyes. "If we can find the source of power here, we can understand how to enter the real dimension."

Nai Seng nodded softly, clutching her staff tightly. "I sense a great energy inside. But we must be careful. Many demons are guarding this place."

Sei Fun observed the surroundings, tensing. "I feel something strange. There's a powerful force lurking inside. Don't be overconfident."

The three of them devised a strategy. Sai Fan led the way, opening a path ahead with his glowing golden aura, piercing through the ruins and damaged structures.

After a few minutes of walking, they reached a large door made of dark black stone, covered with strange carvings that shimmered when hit by the red light from the sky. The door looked like a gateway to another world—full of mystery and power.

"This is it," Sai Fan said. "Behind this door, we will find what we're looking for."

However, just as they were about to open the door, a loud rumbling sounded from inside the building. A huge creature emerged from within, running at high speed, revealing itself as a gigantic demon with scaly skin and glowing red eyes.

"This won't be so easy," Nai Seng whispered, preparing to cast her magic again.

"Get ready!" Sai Fan shouted, raising his sword. "We have to face it!"

The creature lunged toward them with sharp claws and a mouth producing terrifying sounds. Sai Fan jumped forward, swinging his sword with full force. His golden aura blazed as his sword struck the creature's skin, releasing a large burst of energy.

"Now!" Nai Seng shouted, firing a wave of blue magic targeting the creature's abdomen, causing it to stagger.

Sei Fun, who had prepared his tools, immediately swung his blade, slashing at the creature's leg. But the beast was very strong and stubborn. It leapt again with great power, swinging its sharp claws toward Sai Fan.

"Not so tough!" Sai Fan yelled, dodging nimbly. His sword sparkled as he slashed again at the creature.

The battle was intense. They had to utilize all their strength and wit to defeat this beast. But the creature was no easy opponent—its skin was as tough as steel, and its strength was enormous.

Finally, after a strenuous fight full of courage, Sai Fan managed to slash the creature's neck, causing it to roar loudly and eventually vanish in a massive energy explosion.

The atmosphere fell silent, only the sound of their heavy breathing echoing.

"This… is just the beginning," Sei Fun said softly. "If this much trouble, what will it be like inside?"

"Calm down," Sai Fan reassured. "We must stay focused. There's a great secret behind this door, and we need to find out what it is."

They slowly approached the large door. With a deep breath, Sai Fan raised his hand and touched the carvings on the stone door. An energy pulsed from his touch, and gradually, the door opened.

Behind the door, they saw a large chamber filled with colorful lights. In the center stood a massive altar surrounded by glowing crystals and ancient symbols.

"This… is the source of the power we're looking for," Nai Seng whispered in disbelief. "If we can control this, we'll understand how to enter the real dimension."

But before they could get closer, another figure appeared from the shadows—a man in a black cloak with glowing red eyes and his face hidden behind a mask. He smiled sinisterly as he saw them.

"Welcome to the center of power," he said in a heavy, threatening voice. "You will never leave here after I take control of this power."

"Who are you?" asked Sai Fan firmly.

"My name is Malakar," replied the man. "The demon king who rules this world. And I won't let you steal this power."

Quickly, Malakar raised his hand and unleashed a wave of dark, black energy shooting toward them. Sai Fan and his friends immediately prepared themselves—they knew a great battle was about to begin.

"It's time to show who we really are," Sai Fan shouted, focusing his golden aura and preparing to face their strongest enemy yet.

The battle had just begun, and they had to fight not only to save this world but also to uncover the secrets of the hidden power inside this center.
