The barrier protecting the House of Virgo finally deactivated, and the soft light of dawn began to seep into the surroundings. Midoki, still exhausted, pushed forward with difficulty, his senses dulled, and the energy of the powerful Guardian Mode slowly fading away.
- Midoki: "What... what's happening?"His voice was barely audible, as if each word was a battle in itself.
Suddenly, the scene shifted to the limbo. Surrounded by a serene light, Midoki expressed his gratitude to Gyndera and Pyndera.
- Midoki: "Thank you, Gyndera, Pyndera. For everything..."His eyes glowed with sincerity."From now on, I promise to keep my emotions balanced. I won't let despair consume me again."
Gyndera smiled, her eyes luminous.
- Gyndera: "You are not alone, Midoki. Guardian Mode isn't the only ace we have up our sleeve."
Pyndera added, with a confident look:
- Pyndera: "True strength comes from within. Trust yourself."
The scene shifted back to the battlefield, where Zéfir faced off against Throk, a storm of determination rising between them.
- Zéfir: "Get ready, boy."Zéfir taunted, his eyes filled with disdain.
Throk nodded, while Neptune watched from nearby.
- Throk: "Don't worry. Keep moving forward, Neptune. The time we spent trapped in the Balance was enough for the night to drag on. Dawn is near."
- Narrator: "This marks the fourth day since the warriors arrived at Olympus to save Midoki and Elyra."
The fight escalated as Zéfir unleashed the devastating Scorpion Dance. His Scorpion Whip struck Throk, who was now under the influence of Zéfir's deadly poison—Poison Fatality. He felt the sting on his skin, a coldness spreading through his body.
- Throk: "Damn it!"Throk growled, his heart burning with resolve. In a desperate move, he activated his Rage technique, compensating for the absence of the Sunrise ability, which could only manifest in daylight."I won't give up!"
The clash between warriors intensified under the night's shadow. Throk, drawing on the ancient technique of the Titan race, delivered a flurry of powerful physical strikes, while Zéfir dodged with unmatched finesse.
- Zéfir: "You're strong... but not strong enough!"Zéfir laughed, his dark aura intensifying.
The battle surged forward at a furious pace, blows and techniques exchanged in rapid succession.
- Throk: "I need to find a way..."Throk thought, exhausted, desperately seeking a moment of clarity.
The scene shifted to Elliot, Spink, and Neptune, who had finally reached the House of Sagittarius. Before them stood Kentarou, Elliot's master—motionless, like an empty shell.
- Elliot: "Sir Kentarou..."Elliot whispered, disbelief overtaking his expression.
Spink watched, concern growing on her face.
- Spink: "Leave this to me. You don't have to get involved, Elliot."
- Elliot: "No... I have to."Elliot replied, his voice filled with resolve."Orpheus used his ability to revive Kentarou as some kind of... 'zombie'. This isn't him!"
The tension in the air thickened. Elliot realized that the newly-returned Zodiac emissary was caught between his ideals and Orpheus's control.
Meanwhile, Throk, lacking the Sunrise ability, turned to the powers of the Mystic Tree. The ground beneath them began to tremble with ancient force.
- Throk: "Now you'll see!"Throk shouted, unleashing a powerful attack.
However, Zéfir, with flawless skill, broke through Throk's defenses and emerged victorious, an arrogant expression on his face.
- Zéfir: "You'll need more than that to defeat me!"
The scene then cut to the House of Capricorn, where Spink encountered Christ—an enigmatic girl—for an unexpected battle. Meanwhile, Neptune pressed forward, determined to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
- Spink (taking a deep breath): "Looks like we've got a fight on our hands. I'm ready for it!"
- Christ (smirking playfully): "Then come on—let's see what you're made of!"
The battle was about to begin, and with it, the fate of the warriors hung in the balance.
