In the depths of the ocean, on an island ten thousand kilometers away from the continent, there were seven different temples. The seven temples were distributed around a grassland full of all kinds of flowers. In the middle of the grassland, there was a huge gate up to a hundred meters high. At the top of the gate was a pair of huge black wings. The pair of black wings were unimaginably huge, and probably the entire island was covered within its wings. There were countless beheaded dragon reliefs on the gate, and some strange characters were also engraved on it. On both sides of the gate were statues of two beheaded dragons. It seemed that the people who made this gate did not like dragons.

The seven temples located around the grassland had their own unique styles. There was a temple that was completely surrounded by darkness, a temple made of stone engraved with countless eyes, and a temple surrounded by countless green plants and colorful flowers.

Among these temples, only two temples were very similar. They were all temples built entirely of ice and snow. However, although they were all built of ice and snow, the shape of the temple was still very different. The slightly larger temple was a square building with various candies carved on it. The small temple was a strawberry shape full of fairy tale colors with various fruits carved on it.

What made people feel strange was that in these seven temples, there were no sounds of humans, as if no one lived in them at all. However, on the grassland outside the temple, there was a young girl taking a leisurely walk.

This was a young girl with orange hair. She was about 1.6 meters tall. She wore fuchsia skin-tight clothes with a golden belt buckle on her waist. There was a pair of metal gloves on her hands. The gloves were inlaid with two golden crystals. The skin-tight dress covered her whole body tightly, fully showing her wonderful figure. Her legs were slender, her waist was slim that it could be held by one hand, and her firm chest would make people's eyes light up when they see her.

The girl's eyes were blood-red, her nose was delicate, and her small lips that curved into a smile from time to time constituted her perfect face. She was walking leisurely on the grassland between the seven temples, holding a colorful lollipop in her hand, and she would stick out her little tongue to lick it from time to time.

At this time, the huge gate in the middle of the grassland suddenly emitted a dazzling purple light, and then two black shadows, one large and one small, fell out of it, making a muffled noise.

At the moment when she saw the purple light from the gate, the girl's face immediately became extremely solemn, she threw the lollipop in her hand aside, and ran quickly in the direction where the two black shadows fell to the ground.

"Iphia! Wake up! What the hell happened? Aren't you stationed at the teleportation point near the continent! How come you suddenly teleported back with a teleportation crystal that is only used at the moment of life and death. This teleportation crystal has a big flaw! Are you okay?" The girl who ran to the gate lifted up the smaller of the two dark shadows—Iphia, a girl with red eyes like her and wearing winter clothes.

"Elder Sister! Hercules and I encountered an enemy. Hercules was defeated, so I can only retreat." Iphia opened her eyes in the girl's arms, panted, and then lost her consciousness.

"What!! Hercules was actually defeated." The girl looked at the black giant on one side in disbelief. She who had fought him many times knew his strength clearly. It was extremely difficult to defeat him.

The girl holding Iphia, who had lost consciousness, walked to Hercules's side and took a closer look at his injury. After seeing his gray-white body full of death breath, her face instantly became shocked.

‘This is such a terrible curse! The immortal Hercules couldn't even commit suicide. To lift this curse, I have to wait for Elder Sister Meiya to return. But she went to look for the people who destroyed her collection room a few days ago. The other elder sisters are not there either. It seemed that Hercules could only be kept in this state for the moment. Although killing him is also a method, it would take more than half a year to replenish a consumed life.’ Numerous thoughts flashed in the girl's mind, and she finally decided to keep Hercules cursed temporarily.

"Sorry! Hercules, for Iphia. Please bear with me for a few days, and I will help you lift the curse when Elder Sister Meiya returns!" The girl bowed apologetically to Hercules on the ground, and then held Iphia in her arms and walked into the square temple...

Three days later, Iphia woke up from a coma. What appeared in front of her was the back of the girl with long orange hair. The girl was singing quietly. Some butterflies curiously flew over from the grassland outside and flew around above the girl's head.

" Elder Sister Quna!" Regaining consciousness, Iphia whispered the girl's name.

"Iphia, you are awake?" The girl named Quna turned her head in surprise and looked at Iphia who had just woken up. The butterfly on her head was taken aback, and quickly flew away from her.

"Mhm! Ah! Elder Sister, how is Hercules. Has he recovered from that strange state?" Iphia, who had regained consciousness, immediately thought of the defeated Hercules. In her mind, the black giant was a special existence. Before she could walk, he was already her unique guard. No matter what happened, he would stand beside her without hesitation and guard her.

"No, the curse on him will not be lifted until Elder Sister Meiya comes back. But Elder Sister Meiya is not there these days, she went out to look for someone. But don't worry too much, Hercules only used eight lives out of the twelve lives he has, so he is definitely not going to die." Quna shook her head, a look of guilt appeared on her face.

"Really?!" Iphia's face darkened in an instant.

"Okay. Put Hercules's matter aside beforehand. Iphia, what have you encountered? You actually retreated from the deserted island where you were stationed with a teleportation crystal that has a big side effect. Was it a magic beat level 8 or higher?" Quna changed the subject, she really didn't understand why the combination of Iphia and Hercules actually fell into a situation where she had to use teleport crystals to retreat. Except for magic beasts of level 8 or higher, there should be no other creatures that could push them to this point.

"No, it's not a magic beast. It's a person. He killed Hercules eight times. And then, he knocked Hercules down with a strange move." Iphia shook her head, with a look of fear on her face.

"Just one person!!" Quna couldn't believe her ears. She had fought Hercules many times, she knew exactly how strong he was. Someone could actually defeat the combination of Hercules and Iphia alone. Amongst the Seven Nights, only the first and second ranked people could do it.

In fact, in terms of strength, although she was as strong as Hercules, the special Phantasm possessed by Hercules allowed him to use those desperate move without hesitation, so that even people who were stronger than him would not be able to gain an advantage under his crazy offensive, and with Iphia's assistance... Thinking of this, she looked at Iphia suspiciously.

"Iphia, is your body okay?" After pondering for a long time, Quna made a decision.

"I’m fine. The side effects of using the teleportation crystal this time seem to be very small, I can recover after just a few days of sleep." Iphia got off the bed, tried to jump a few times, and found that there seemed to be nothing abnormal in her body. In her memory, the use of teleportation crystals was actually a very risky thing. If she was not careful, it may cause unimaginable damage to her body, and it was a damage that was very hard to heal even using the light magic. It seemed that she was lucky this time.

"All right. Let's go to the training ground. I want to confirm one thing." After speaking, Quna clapped her hands.

*Rumble!*

A hole appeared on the floor, and a staircase leading to the ground appeared.

"Come here!" After signaling to Iphia, Quna walked down the stairs into the ground.

‘What does the Elder Sister want to confirm?’ Iphia, who was following Quna, looked confused. She realized that since she said that she and Hercules were defeated by one person, her Elder Sister Quna had been acting very strangely. There was something in her gaze that made her feel a little scared.

The stairs were not long, probably only a dozen meters. The two quickly walked to the underground training ground.

This was a large training ground, about a hundred meters long and about sixty to seventy meters wide. The ground of the training ground was a layer of blue ice that would never melt. Above the training ground were some white crystals that were always shining with dazzling light. In the corner, there were several sixth and seventh-level magic beasts that were frozen into ice.

This was something Iphia is familiar with, and she was often called by Quna to practice together. But she didn’t like practice very much. Although she had PhantasmSin of Ice and Snow very early for some reasons, she didn't like to use it very much. In her eyes, Hercules was her strongest power.

"Iphia, let’s fight formally once. As the Sixth Night-Quna, I will issue a formal challenge to you, the Seventh Night-Iphia." Quna walked to the center of the ice and said calmly.

"Elder Sister! What are you talking about!" Iphia said in disbelief.
