When Maxi woke up, he was on a riverbed near an unfamiliar village, where an old man rescued him. He succeeded in killing Astaroth, but the god of war Ares, in bitter rage, commanded the ground to open up and swallow Maxi. As Kilik and Xianghua ran past Astaroth, Maxi stayed behind to fight him to the death.

After defeating the creatures, Astaroth presented himself and blocked the entrance to the castle. With Kilik and Xianghua's help, Maxi stormed Ostrheinsburg Castle, where the creatures that had killed Maxi's crew were waiting for them. Eventually, the two met Xianghua, a member of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Guard, who also aided them in their travels. With his dying words, Kyam told Maxi of Kilik's quest and, having lost everything, Maxi decided to travel with him, swearing an oath of revenge against Astaroth. Maxi was able to suppress Kilik and return the Dvapara-Yuga to him, but only after Maxi's sworn brother, Kyam, had been murdered and most of the other members of the crew were dead or missing. Eventually, they had repelled the golems, but not before Astaroth had temporarily snatched the holy mirror Dvapara-Yuga from Kilik, causing him to lose his sanity and savagely attack Maxi. With Kilik, both joined forces in the battle against the monsters. Kyam sympathized with Kilik and let him stay until Maxi, the captain, would return.īut when Maxi returned, he found his ship under attack by a hoard of golems and lizard-like creatures led by Astaroth. He argued with a pirate of the ship, who wanted Dvapara-Yuga as fee for the trip, until Kyam stepped in. They docked on an Indian Port town and, while Maxi was out, Kilik approached the ship searching a way to go west.

He embarked with the crew, his 'new family', and Kyam and sailed towards the west. Li Long left after reaching the port, but Maxi kept studying his work.Īfter his father's death, Maxi took his vessel and decided to turn into a freelance pirate, to see the world his father couldn't because of his ties to the country. The man agreed and as time passed Maxi studied his style, and despite being different from his, he was able to further improve his abilities. Recognizing the world was wider than he thought, he asked the man to be his teacher for the remainder of the travel. Not hearing Kyam (his sworn brother)'s pleas, Maxi faced the man and was defeated.

He, full of pride, challenged the stranger to a fight. The man carried a bladed nunchaku, which Maxi noticed. He also learned to use the nunchaku as a way to defend himself, eventually turning into a strong youth.ĭuring one of his father's travels, he met a man from Ming known as Zhang Wu. Maxi spent most of his first years traveling from harbor to harbor with his father.
