Din had arrived at what would appear to be the barrier in the center of the ocean, the water acting as the barrier as Din soon pulled out the key and held it up. The key soon transformed into what would appear to be an 8-pointed star as there was no screams or even loud noise to detected if it worked. But something did happen, the water slowly began to part itself only a small amount for the Ship Din was on to enter as a small breeze began to push the boat inside. Unfortunately, upon entering, the water barrier hid a steep water fall, with which took Din and the boat as they were falling down towards what would appear to be the ocean floor. Not wanting to become splattered flesh, Din jumped off of the boat during the fall and managed to save himself upon the fall by grasping onto the ledge of what would be the bottom bridge as he had to grasp on with another arm. The tension and sudden stop tore Din's right arm out of place, but he managed to save himself still with his left arm to pull his light-weight body up. He rolled to a stop, holding his right shoulder as blood was coming out, but it seemed luck was in his favor today.

Next to him was a strange lady who's own right arm was gone, she might've suffered the same fall, but her wound was sealed up. She did not make it out alive, but at her feet were medicinal notes for people who had their limbs torn. Not wasting much time, Din put her notes to use as he managed to craft a small potion as he poured it onto his arm before he bled out, creating a skin & muscle kind of seal over the wound. He was still armless, but he had no fear of dying so early, with that, he placed the limb seal note back at the deceased woman's feet and got up as he began to look around. The air felt thick for some reason, making Din cough a few times before he noticed strange white powder builds at some parts of the bridge. Upon closer inspection, he managed to identify the powder as ashes, very unsettling as he soon used a small amount of air to uncover what would appear to be a well-preserved ashen body. This caused Din to shake his head as he looked down the road as the hard winds began to calm down, revealing a large tower, most of which was covered in ash, it seemed that whatever made the water barrier, was located at the top of the tower. With no time to lose, Din began to run towards the open entrance of the tower as the place felt empty.

Din entered the tower as he looked around, the inside felt cold for the most part, but he had to find a way up the tower, so he went in futher as he soon entered a room, where only ash was everywhere, even Din's feet sunk in a little, but he never felt real solid floor as he began to walk foward. Soon, the ashes began to move around Din before three rusted soldiers rose from the ashes, their skin as black as night, their armor rusted everywhere as more ashes poured from the risen pieces of rust. Din used his left hand and unsheathed his sword as he looked around as the warriors, each of them having a different weapon, one holding just a sword, another holding twin fire axes, and the last one had a blackened halberd and shield. As they all raised their main weapon, poised for an attack, Din rolled away quickly as he used his blasting stream to send the enemies away while Din was pushed back a bit from the large explosion. The warriors were quite heavy, so they didn't get knocked down or sent flying away, but they have taken damage as the blackened skins were blasted away to reveal muscle tissues. Din kept the longsword out as the one with their own sword charged in and attempted to stab at Din, who was quick to side-step the attack and decapitate the ashen warrior quickly. His longsword still had a long ways to go, but just in case, Din put his own blade away and grabbed the Blackened Ashen sword to use against the last two enemies.

Din wielded the blade as it was surprisingly light for it's appearance, but he had to stay focus for right now as the twin axed ashen warrior charged at DIn, causing him to roll out of the way. It was a feint though as Din got to a stop, but was smacked away into a wall by the shield of the halberd warrior. Din had hit the back of his head against the wall before attempting to get back to his feet while the two enemies attempted to attack him at the same time. It caused Din's body to pulse in fear before he instinctively conjured up ashen stone armor around his body. It stopped both the ax and the halberd while Din created a stone right arm and used it to knock the ax wielder away as he slashed at the halberd warrior. The ax wielder was knocked back a few yards as it held it's abdomen in pain while the halberd warrior was slashed with coagulated blood oozing out. Din didn't even get phased by the sight of the blood, but instead used his abilities of earth and placed his stone hand onto the neck of the halberd Warrior who stabbed at Din's armor. He winced but cleared his mind as he shook his head and kept his focus on point as his armor was penetrated once, his stomach being stabbed through, but it didn't end well for the halberd warrior as iron spikes formed out of his skin thanks to the iron in the blood, along with the earth preserved around the warrior's body. He backed away from the dead corpse and pulled the halberd out as he glared at the axeman.

Din soon stomped on the ashen ground as stone hands reached up and grasped at the axeman's legs as he tried to jump. Din whirled the halberd around before he soon threw the halberd at the the axeman before the blade pierced through the being's head as it died where it was being forcibly stood. Din was breathing heavily as he reached at his wound as blood was already coming out at a slow and steady rate. Without wanting to risk bleed out, he generated a small get of flame and screamed in pain as he began to burn the wound closed as he fell down to his knees, his stone armor falling off into pieces. Once he was done, he slowly got to his feet and began to walk, or rather... began to limp his way out of the ashen arena to find what appeared to be a stone elevator as he stepped onto a pressure plate as the flat stone head began to move up slowly. As Din was breathing heavily as he arrived at the next floor, more ash raining down in the next room as he began to walk towards the door to the next room. He scouted out the next area as he noticed two flames from the swords of floating armor and another Ashen warrior, who held a bow. Din's mind began to enter a state of deducing the location of the area before he placed a hand on the floor, he could sense both stone and iron inside of the building as Din began to grasp the earth. His legs soon transformed into being part ghost car as his wheels started to rev up while he remained in his 'human' state as his left arm slowly became incased in iron with a stone claw blade. Without hesitation, Din began to charge through with his wheels, zipping past the floating armors and even the ashen sniper's shots as he got to an iron door. He soon started to slash at it a few times with his claw, beginning to cut it open before he turned around and saw the armors bringing out their greatbows before unleashing two shots at Din.

Din rolled to the side as the arrows broke through the iron door, creating an opening large enough for him as Din quickly jumped through. The iron and stone claw would be very helpful as he closed the opening behind him by manipulating the impurities in the iron door. Once he was done, he could hear a large step before he turned around and rolled to the side, dodging an iron mace three times his size in just width standards. Din looked up to see a large iron headless armor staring him down before it attempted to grab Din as he rolled between it's legs and ran towards an outed ledge. He was quickly casting enhanced speed and jump, his speed already entering the double digits as he leapt up onto the ledge and soon jumped up once again, high enough to grasp onto the ledge of a hole that lead into the area from up above. The iron armor wasn't far behind as it began to move towards him and started to jump up, attempting to grasp at him. Din climbed his body up and onto the next floor, where two ashen warriors were waiting for him as Din rolled to the side, dodging their attacks as he was trying to find a way to continue climbing back up as there was no horizontal exit. He watched as one of them charged in for a stab with his longsword as Din used his claw to parry it to the side before he captilized on the parry and stabbed the Ashen warrior through the head with his longsword that he held with his claw hand. to kill the being before he booted the being off of his blade. Before the twin axeman could attack, the ground broke, killing the warrior as Din was still on solid land, but the mace replaced the ground where it broke for a moment. He didn't want to waste another moment and ran up to the mace, jumping onto it and running off of the mace to jump and catch a ledge of the above level's next hole. It was a 'safe' spot as Din was breathing heavily as he began to catch his breath, his iron and stone claw degrading off of his left arm as he checked on his previous wound. It didn't break open but it was still hurting as he soon noticed what appeared to be an orange potion. He was a bit famished and the ashen air was hurting him as he took ahold of the potion and took a small drink. He had drank a fourth of the bottle and it seemed to revitilize his body greatly, it didn't restore a limb, but his previous wound had recovered almost instantly.

The potion seemed to have multiple uses for drinks, so it was best suited to keep ahold of it as Din put it away. He looked around and noticed a small exit on his level, that didn't require him to climb up and away. He approached it, the corridor already leading him towards a large tower opening, the ash making it hard to see downward. He shook his head and ignored the thoughts as he looked upward, where a residual amount of heat was coming from, but it was a tad hard to see. He sighed and sat down as it seemed as though there was no way of getting out of the area, that was until he noticed a large body of iron moving downward via chains, the head just stopping underneath Din. He took this as a sign and got up, getting onto the head as it was getting ready to rise, riding it upwards towards the next level. Upon getting there, he managed to get off as it seemed to only go up so far, with Din getting onto a thin ledge, walking along it carefully as a new iron body seemed to be descending to Din's level. He got onto it carefully as it shook and began to move up at a very slow rate, the chains creaking as Din looked up to see the age of flames having worn them down a bit. Soon, the darkness was no more as blaring light almost blinded Din as he fell off of the body, landing on the next level area, which was surprisingly where he needed to be. He walked through the place, as he moved around in a small circle as the place seemed to spew flames and smoke around the place. Within a moment, he found a set of stairs that led outside the place, being careful as the steps made alot of sounds.

As he ascended up the set of stairs, the outside seemed to be magnificent, causing Din to cover his mouth as the light and ash made it a tad beautiful to look at. But Din shook his head and looked to the left, seeing an unguarded ladder as Din made a run for it. The fact that nothing happened when he got to the ladder made Din a bit more wary as he began to climb up it carefully. His vampiric fangs felt cold when Din began to breathe through his mouth while climbing up the ladder carefully. Once he reached the top of the Ladder, he noticed it was a very precarious ledge as he silently moved around to more stable grounds, turning around to see two mages with their backs turned towards Din. At first he seemed scared, but he shook his head and soon activated his legs as he got back onto his motorcycle lowerhalf. As the bike was revving up, the mages soon turned around and began to charge up their spells to blast at Din. The two mages soon released quick traveling orbs of lightning as Din soon began to drive past them both, narrowly dodging the bolts of lightning as he released his form. As he released the form, he skidded to a stop and rolled behind a corner as the spheres of lightning hit the corner. Din sighed a bit before he noticed a large open door with a large body of an iron demon as he unsheathed his longsword with his left hand. Din was currently trying to survey as much of the area as possible before he sheathed the longsword and ran off, going past the demon as he swung his hammer. It narrowly missed Din as he was passing by every other enemy to get to a ladder and began to climb up it to get into a room full of barrels.

Once inside the room, Din moved to try and get away from the cage as the Iron demon reached out and pulled the cage off while trying to get Din into sight. Din left the room via a door and had moved out through the hallway, climbing up another ladder as he escaped to further up in the area. With nothing much really in his way, he continued on his way up as most of the enemies that would've stood in his way were gone. Soon, Din managed to reach the top of the tower, where a large spire of water was coming from the throne as he glared at it. It seemed unnatural, and for good reason to, due to the fact that it was the cause of the water barrier around the place.

Soon, the water spire had grayed out and before he knew it, Din watched as the Water turned into an ashen tower as it broke apart, revealing a black armor clad warrior. The armor may have been dark, but it was further blacked by the appearance of burnt marks. One would think the armor would've been fairly worn and weakened from being burnt, the being inside would've been nothing but a black skeleton. However, the armor began to move as the blackness of the helmet had a small exhalation of black smoke as he unsheathed a longsword. The ash that fell around him soon were blasted away as a gust of energy wind shot outward from the being as Din had to stab his sword into the ground as he was blasted with harsh winds and a small amount of Ash. Unlike the ash, Din remained where he was on the top of the tower as the hard stones could be seen around them as he pulled his sword out of the stones. Din glared at the armor as the being was taller than Din, standing at approximately 7'9" as he charged at Din. Din watched as the being charged before he rolled out of the way as the swordsman stabbed at where Din was. A powerful gust of wind shot out from where the handguard was on the sword as Din looked to see some stones being cleaned off of the top, knocking down a wall as well. Din's eyes went wide as he realized the power he had to deal with before he closed his eyes, exhaling through his nostrils. His own energy had a limit and he had to deal with this man, one-armed with his own longsword and magic. His own fiery aura appearing as Din's eyes opened as he glared at the being and kept the longsword drawn out. Soon, energy coated the longsword before he slashed at the being and released a powerful wave of blades. The being was slow, but as he turned, even the wave of blades bounced off of him and even broke on his armor with ease. This caused the being's own helmet visor to have a small red glow before he leaned forward and released a blast of pure anger at the young being.

Din's eyes focused on the blast before he thrusts the sword out, releasing a stream of flames as the beams collided in the air. As they collided in the air, the beam of anger slowly pushing back his flames as Din kept using the longsword to blast the flames. His eyes soon glowed a strange purplish red as the flames soon got more focused, the air becoming very violent as oxygen was being focused into the flames as Din gritted his teeth. "Nnnnngh grrrrrrrrah!" He opened his mouth in his own anger as the flames soon blasted through the stream of anger as the being took a flame beam to the face, causing the being to back away as he held his mask. This gave Din a chance as he soon ran at the being, jumping up as he delivered a wheel-sized dropkick to the armor-clad warrior who was forced to back away a bit. However, his stunned state did not last long as he soon thrusts his longsword out towards Din as he was recovering from delivering the dropkick. Din couldn't move out of the way in time as his sword arm was soon met with a steep thrust through his elbow. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Din cried out in pain before he was booted away by the armor, falling onto his back as his left arm was bleeding out immensely. His teeth gritted in pain as he couldn't use his own arm for the time being as he slowly sat up. He had to force the pain to subside for now as he had to beat this being, who saw it was time for the battle to finish. As the being dashed in for a horizontal attack, the ground beneath Din broke into various pieces, but instead wrapped around him and moved underneath the blade to behind the armor. As the armor stepped to a stop to turn around, the stones compressed around Din before it created a mix of stone and iron armor as Din's left arm was usable once again. This time though, he had to move his entire body via brainwaves for the stones were in his controllable range. He focused his energy into the arms as he got ready for combat once again as he was breathing heavily. With his armor, he could at least use a weapon as he charged at the being and attempted a hard shoulder rush. The armored one turned to meet with the being as he took the shoulder bash and backed up a bit, the armor being infused with the Earth and Stone Levitation technique to make the bashing harder. With that, Din stopped in his charge and grabbed his longsword as he slashed at the stumbling armor and released a large wave of blades at the being. "I'll end you here and now!" Din shouted as the armor took each blade wave with ease as he was recovering, that was until Din pointed both of his stone arms at the being, bleeding out of his left arm still as he was glaring at the being. "Now die!" Din shouted as he released a stream of energy, hitting the being directly, but Din did something different, instead of making a large explosion, he focused the attack to create a devestating small explosion as he created a hole in the chest of the armor.

The being fell to his knees, his sword dropping as his clawed hands reached up as he looked down to the hole of his chest. Din, who was breathing heavily, had the armor around his head break as he used his left stone arm to take one last swig of the orange potion as his left arm was revitilized and healed. He released the armor around him as he walked over towards the being, using his own longsword to press it against the helm. The armored being looked to Din before he leaned back, releasing two souls into the air that swirled around Din a bit violently before they entered his 'body' as he backed away. His eyes were forced to close due to the wind around him as he opened his eyes, the armored being slowly fell backwards and off of the tower, the water barrier falling down and even the tower was beginning to collapse. The spirits who entered Din, appeared along his longsword before they dragged him out of the place quickly and towards his surviving boat that was brought back up. He looked around as he put the longsword away and soon stared at twin soul spheres that sat before him in his small boat. "Wh-Who and what are you?" He asked them as he had no response, but instead had the feeling that they wanted to pay him back for releasing them from their suffering. He could make something special out of both of them, something that would help him with his travels as he began to drive back towards Nocturne.
