The Puppet City
A land claimed by the Hollow known as Simon Manus ..
A city he made his lair by transforming its people and all who lived there into puppets, mechanical and lifeless, mere "masterpieces" in his eyes.
Unlike the rest of the Lower Bloodlands, the city retained all the essentials for human life.
But there were no humans left to benefit.
Only hollow puppets wandered its streets aimlessly, stripped of everything that once made them human...
Yet on this day in particular—
A turning point unfolded that would forever mark the long history of this city.
BOOM!
Explosions and clashes rang out nonstop.
Frey Starlight now stood alone, battling an entire army of puppets led by none other than the former Lord—Val.
Both fighters wielded dual swords, focusing entirely on speed, which turned the clash into utter chaos.
Locked in a swirling storm of blades, not even the other puppets could interfere.
Sparks flew wildly from the repeated collisions of solid metal.
