While the tribal folk were busy setting up the village with Gerant and Gimp, Leo, Kittienia, and Asukem ventured into the forest. It was there that Kittienia once spotted Volmanica. Leading the group back to the cave, where Gimp stumbled upon a hidden stash of honey. Suddenly, a menacing growl reverberated through the trees, accusing Asukem of betrayal. A massive Sin Kin made of stone, rock, and molten lava materialized, aiming to strike Asukem. But Leo intervened, blocking the attack with his trusty battle axe. Glancing back at Asukem, Leo snarled, "You let your guard down, you foolish half-breed!" Asukem retorted, locking eyes with Leo, "Who are you calling a half-breed, you dim-witted furball!" He raised his claw in a threatening gesture, ready to defend himself.
Kittienia shook her head, her hand covering her face, and exclaimed, "Now is not the time to show off. We must locate K'witkwaka!" Asukem quickly apologized, acknowledging, "You're right. We need to find your panther." Volmanica's voice turned sinister as he remarked, "Ah, a panther? Those fools brought one as a prize." Leo looked fiercely at Volmanica and demanded, "Where is my sister's panther, you monster!" forcefully pushing back Volmanica's claw. Volmanica appeared impressed, saying in amazement, "Halting my attack is one thing, tribal boy, but pushing me back requires great strength." Leo snapped, letting out a roar of anger, "Tell me where K'witawaka is, you mountain piece of dung!"
Volmanica chuckles as he responds, "The tiny feline is hiding in the canyons, but trust me, you won't be pleased with what you find." Leo glances at Asukem with a severe expression that seems almost agonizing. Still, he puts aside his ego and declares, "Go! You promised to help us. Prove it now, Wolfling! I'll handle Pebbles here!"
Asukem playfully teased Leo, saying, "If you can't beat him, you're even weaker than me!" Leo responded with a fierce roar, "Shut it, you pathetic excuse for a wolf!" Kittienia glanced at her brother and advised, "Leo, please be cautious, alright?" Asukem grabbed Kittienia's hand and hurriedly led her toward the canyons to search for Nightclaw. "Let's go. We're running out of time, Kittienia."
Kittienia and Asukem left Leo to face off against Volmanica, the colossal rock monster. Leo managed to bring down Volmanica's claw to the ground. Still, when he attempted to strike him in the shoulder with his axe, it had no effect whatsoever. Leo's expression shifted from a confident grin to utter shock and a worried look. Volmanica, on the other hand, wore a sinister grin as he seized Leo and forcefully slammed him into a nearby tree. Mockingly, he declared, "You actually thought you could defeat me, young tribal boy? My skin is as impenetrable as the mountains themselves!" With that, he hurled Leo against the cavern wall at the entrance.
Leo looks at Volmanica, his eye half-open and blood trickling from his mouth. "Even if your skin is tough like a mountain, it doesn't mean it's impenetrable. Miners can dig through mountains, after all. I'll just keep striking the same spot until it gives in." Volmanica growls furiously, "How dare you underestimate me! Breaking through my stone-like skin won't be so simple. You'll regret uttering those words!" Volmanica advances towards Leo with a menacing stride, causing the earth and ground to tremble in fear.
Leo swiftly avoids Volmanica's attack and retaliates with a mighty swing of his axe, shouting, "Raging Blow!" The strike lands directly on Volmanica's side. Unfazed, Volmanica attempts to strike back with his claw, but Leo skillfully dodges the attack. Leo then changes his stance, charges Volmanica, and cries, "Upheaving Strike!" With a swift upward swing of his axe, a yellowish slash appears in the middle of Volmanica, stunning him. Leo quickly adjusts his axe again and delivers another Raging Blow to Volmanica's side.
Before Volmanica was struck by the second Raging Blow, he retracted his claw from the outer wall of the cavern, causing it to crumble. However, as the second blow landed on Volmanica's side, he swiftly swung and snatched Leo, tossing him high into the air. Then, with another forceful strike, Leo was forcefully slammed into the ground, emitting a resounding thud. Gasping for air, Leo lay there in agony. At the same time, Volmanica glared at him, commanding, "Just stay down there, you annoying pest." Nevertheless, Leo showed resilience. He groaned in pain, coughing up blood, and gradually lifted himself up.
Volmanica was taken aback, his eyes widening in shock and awe. "Just give up already!" he shouted, unleashing "Earthen Spines!" He slammed the ground, causing molten pits to erupt and summoning stalagmites. Leo caught sight of Volmanica and made a beeline towards him. Stalagmites shot out from the molten pits that had formed, encircling Leo. Despite dodging some, Leo smashed through others, charging straight at Volmanica.
As Leo approached Volmanica, the demon made an attempt to attack. However, Leo swiftly evaded the attack and retaliated with a powerful strike, landing another Raging Blow on Volmanica's side. With a mighty roar, Leo spun around and unleashed his devastating move, "Earth Crush!" The attack hit Volmanica's side once again, causing the demon to cry out in pain and cough up black blood. As a result, cracks appeared on Volmanica's skin, and a layer of rock crumbled and scattered on the ground. Black blood oozed from the wound, staining the earth. Leo then pulled his axe out from the massive demon. He leaped away just in time as Volmanica crashed onto the ground, leaving a puddle of blood behind.
Leo strolls through the demon's blood towards Volmanica's lifeless form, oblivious that Volmanica's blood possesses the power to corrupt others. Upon reaching Volmanica's body, he spews on it with animosity. His eyes shimmer with a shade of purple, and a proud grin spreads across his face as he declares, "With your demise, I'll prove to Asukem that I'm superior by ending him." Determined, he sets off towards the canyons, marching forward with purpose.
Asukem, an 18-year-old orphan from Rikros, is transformed into a sinkin by an evil demon who wields power to torment souls with her lust. Ah'keim, a powerful being with a mysterious ulterior motive, mentors him as he struggles to regain his humanity and undo the damage caused by the female demon. With the help of new friends who try to help him escape his fate as a sinkin, Asukem sets out to fight the void and gain control over his powers, all while seeking redemption for his past sins.
