AURA OF THE SEVEN 🌪️
Chapter 6: The Hidden Guardians — The Seven-Colored Shield 🛡️🌌
The Elders' assault had ground to a halt. They stood frozen, stunned by the combined Aura of the seven boys. But suddenly, the golden sky turned a deep, blood-red. 🩸☁️
A power emerged that the Seven Cities had forgotten centuries ago—"The Void Eaters." Ancient monsters that do not just kill, but consume the very Aura of the world itself.
🏛️ The Fall of the Elders
The Elders, who only moments ago were screaming commands, began to fall to their knees before the surging black energy. Their powers began to wither and vanish. Shrieks of terror filled the streets of Haiyin City.
The Leader of the Elders looked at Ryun with trembling eyes: "It's impossible... they have returned!"
🤝 A Defiant Decision
Ryun looked at his comrades. Gojung nodded slowly, understanding the gravity of the moment. "If we stay here and keep fighting these old men, the world will end. We don't need to be the Kings of these cities—we need to be their armor."
The seven made a pact: They would let the world believe they were dead or fugitives, so they could protect humanity from the shadows, free from the politics of the throne.
🌪️ The Great Ritual: 'The Silent Shield'
The seven boys formed a circle in the center of the arena, channeling their collective essence.
Minho (🌿): Spread his roots deep into the earth, fortifying the city's very foundation.
Yuna (❄️) & Seiya (🌊): Created an invisible barrier of frost and vapor around the city—a veil that only the monsters could feel.
Ryun (🔥) & Kyle (⚡): Supercharged the barrier with raw thermal and electrical energy.
Noct (🕳️): Used the Void to erase their presence from the physical world's sight.
Gojung (🖤): Dispatched shadows to keep a constant watch on every move the monsters made.
👤 The Nameless Warriors
When the blinding explosion of energy settled, the arena was empty. To the world, it looked as if the seven warriors had been vaporized by the Elders' attack. The Elders kept their power, but they were now weak and shaken.
But the reality was different.
On the highest spire of Haiyin City, seven shadows stood tall.
Gojung retracted his shadow and spoke coldly: "From this day on, we have no city and no names. We will be called the enemies of the Seven Cities, just so we can truly save them."
🌪️ Chapter Closing Statement
"The world believed it had lost its greatest warriors.
The Elders believed they had crushed the rebellion.
But on the horizons of the Seven Cities, seven invisible walls now stood guard.
They had become the 'Sapta-Rishi' (The Seven Sages)—those who dwell in the darkness to protect the light." 🛡️✨🌌
