Rocot: Reborn

Rocot and Aurelia shuttled through the dark shadows, as if being pulled by a force from the abyss into another unknown world. Everything around them began to decompose, shatter, and eventually became unrecognizable.

When their footsteps stepped on solid ground again, Roccod found that the surrounding environment had become unusually unfamiliar. Tall buildings pierced the sky like swords, and the sky was filled with various flying machines. The dazzling lights intersected in the sky, depicting a futuristic picture.

Aurelia grabbed Rocot's arm tightly, her voice full of fear and confusion: "Rocot, where is this?"

Rocot couldn't answer her. In fact, he was as confused as she was. But his eyes were sharp, trying to find a clue in this strange world. He noticed a screen not far away, which seemed to be used for information display. He pulled Aurelia and approached carefully.

The screen displayed a news report: "According to the latest news, the actual combat test of the next-generation weapons led by the Hiram Institute is about to begin. This test will use the latest "energy shield" and "pulse weapon"..."

Roccod narrowed his eyes, and a premonition of the unknown came to his mind - there was no doubt that they had come to a future world full of high technology. However, he needed more time to think and find answers to this sudden and strange journey through time and space. What he didn't know was that they were traveling through not only time and space, but also the gears that changed the fate of the entire world.

When Rocot and Aurelia were swallowed by the mysterious power, they seemed to have traveled through countless time and space, and were finally thrown into a desolate place. The sky here was gloomy and dead silent, and the mountains in the distance seemed to be torn apart by a huge force, with rock debris and withered plants everywhere.

Roccod fell hard on the cold, hard ground, and the pain made him breathe fast. He struggled to stand up and quickly checked himself and Aurelia. Aurelia looked even more miserable, her clothes were torn in several places, and there was obvious fear on her face.

"Locod, where are we?" Aurelia's voice trembled, and it was obvious that this sudden change made her feel uneasy.

Rocot looked around, a hint of grimness flashed in his eyes. He knew that they had to quickly find out the secret of this place in order to find a way back. Rocot's eyes rested on the ruins of an ancient castle in front of him, and he decided to go and explore.

They moved slowly towards the castle, each step was full of caution. In front of the castle gate were scattered some ancient weapons and broken flags, it seemed that a great battle had taken place here.

"Look there!" Aurelia suddenly pointed to a corner blocked by a tattered flag, where there was a half-open stone door.

Rocot walked over and pushed the stone door open. Behind the door was a dark passage with a faint light at the end of the passage. They walked into the passage cautiously and felt the air around them become colder.

After walking a few hundred meters, they finally came to a stone chamber. In the center of the chamber was an ancient altar, on which was placed a strange crystal ball, with a strange blue light glowing from inside.

Just as Roccod was about to get closer to observe, a faint light suddenly shot out from the crystal ball and headed straight for them. He instinctively protected Aurelia and used the Blade of the Dead to create an energy barrier.

"Who are you? Why are you disturbing my eternal sleep?" A deep and powerful voice echoed in the stone chamber. The source of the voice was the crystal ball.

Rokod stared at the crystal ball warily. He felt the powerful force coming from the voice. He replied in a deep voice: "I am Rokod, a traveler from the future. We are not disturbing you on purpose. We are just looking for a way home."

"Future travelers?" The voice seemed curious. "Perhaps you are the key I have been waiting for."

Before he finished speaking, the walls of the stone chamber suddenly began to shake, and cracks spread rapidly. Rocot and Aurelia looked around nervously, not knowing what was about to happen, yet having no way to escape... Aurelia looked around nervously, not knowing what unknown challenges she would face.

As Rocot and Aurelia nervously looked around the shaking stone chamber, the vibrations gradually intensified. Cracks spread rapidly on the walls, as if the entire space was about to collapse. In this life-or-death situation, Rocot's heart was unusually calm, a calmness brought about by his years of experience in ruling the Shadow Realm.

"Aurelia, don't move!" Rocot whispered, his eyes flashing with calculation. He quickly analyzed the surrounding environment, trying to find a clue to survival.

Suddenly, the dim light in the crystal ball intensified, and an illusory figure slowly condensed and took shape in front of them. This figure carried an ancient and powerful aura, his face was blurry, but his eyes were full of breathtaking light.

"I am the guardian of this place. Your arrival has broken the long-standing peace." The guardian's voice was low and powerful, echoing throughout the stone chamber.

Rokod held the Blade of the Dead tightly, his body naturally moving into a fighting stance. But his voice was unusually calm and convincing, "We have no ill intentions, Guardian. We are just lost travelers, looking for a way back to our own world."

The guardian's eyes suddenly gleamed with light, and he seemed to be looking deep into Rocot's soul. "Lost traveler? Perhaps you can help me untie this thousand-year bond."

Rocot and Aurelia looked at each other, with uneasiness and curiosity mixed in her eyes. Aurelia asked softly, "What do you need us to do?"

"Deep within this castle, there is a powerful magic sealed. Once it is released, it will bring unpredictable disasters." The guardian's voice became heavy. "The limit of my power can only seal it temporarily, but if I find a suitable replacement, this seal can be permanently stable."

"Replacement?" Roccod's voice was wary. "You mean..."

The guardian nodded, his eyes cold, "Yes, a powerful soul, willing to sacrifice himself to maintain the balance of this world."

Rocot thought for a moment, then slowly raised his head. "We will consider your proposal, but we need more information. Can you tell us more about this magic and its possible consequences?"

The atmosphere in the stone chamber became more oppressive. The guardian was silent for a moment, as if weighing how much information to reveal. "Very good, I will tell you everything. However, you must first prove your ability and determination."

As soon as he finished speaking, a corner of the stone chamber suddenly cracked, and a black crack slowly opened, and bursts of cold black mist came out from inside. "If you pass this trial and survive, you will be qualified to get all the answers."

Rocot and Aurelia exchanged a firm look, gripped their weapons tightly, and walked towards the rift step by step. As they got closer and closer, the black fog spread and gradually engulfed their figures. The door of the stone chamber slowly closed, leaving only the guardian silently watching the trial that was about to unfold in the darkness. If you survive this trial, I believe you are qualified to know more. "

Rocot and Aurelia looked at each other, knowing that this might be their only chance. They took a deep breath, gripped their weapons tightly, and stepped into the unknown and darkness. The rift slowly closed, swallowing them up. In the black fog, an unknown test was waiting for them, and this step might change their fate.
