Scene : Thorn forest [The clash begins]
The beast howled in agony, a scream that split the forest and echoed through the night like the cries of a collapsing world.
After taking hits by Captain James Rodricks and Hans Luther. Captain James blinded him by destroying his all four eyes and Former Shadow Soldeir Hans Luther landed two fatal blows on that beast. Cutting his one of his tentacles. Captain James ordered now we have to just cut one of his tentacles and Then He would eventually lost his perception and tracking skill. After that we can escape from here safely.
Meanwhile, Jack and Daniel Dawn stood side by side—twin prodigies, hearts burning.Golden light gathered on Jack's blade. Silver lightning crackled around Daniel.They looked at each other, Daniel said brother let's cut his final senses , his second tentacles, jacks nodded, and launched forward—a synchronized flash of yellow and silver streaking across the battlefield.
Their blades tore through from the creature's face to tail, cutting a thousand precise lines like strokes on a divine painting.
And in perfect harmony, they whispered:"Twin Blade Resonance Style – Starfall Descent!"The air detonated with raw energy.The beast shrieked—no, screamed—with a deafening fury that tore across the sky. It was no ordinary roar. It was a rage-filled, soul-shattering, blood-boiling sonic assault that made the earth tremble.
A red-black shockwave exploded from its throat.The ground quaked.The trees bent backwards.And the four warriors were thrown into chaos.Their ears rang. Blood poured from their ears, noses, mouths—as if their very bodies were rejecting the sound. "RUN! NOW!" Captain James Rodricks roared, coughing blood, barely standing on his feet."If we stay, we die!"
But in that critical moment—Hans Luther didn't move.He stood still, staring at the beast with unblinking focus, his hand gripping his sword tightly. His breath was ragged. His body bruised. But his resolve burned brighter than ever."I have to stop it here."
Hans thought."If we run, it might come after us. I can't let that happen."
"I have Only one choice: kill it, or cut the last tentacle otherwise he'll kill us."
He whispered, almost like a prayer. "Shadow Step."In a blink, Hans vanished from the ground—appearing mid-air, high above the beast's massive head. The winds howled around him as his blade drew a dark, poisonous aura, trailing behind like a meteor of shadow.With a roar of his own, he dived—a perfect arc of silent death—his blade glinting black under the blood moonlight.
SLASH.................!
The sword tore through the second tentacle, severing it in a burst of sickening flesh and splattering blood.The beast flailed wildly now, completely disoriented, all its sensory organs severed. The forest shook under its convulsions. And the path to escape—was finally open.
James screamed again, voice raw with urgency "Hans! Come back—NOW!!"
Hans, standing at the top of a trembling branch, blood dripping from his arm, glanced back at the thrashing beast—then whispered "Shadow Step."
In the next blink, he vanished—reappearing beside his squad, gasping but alive. Without wasting a moment, they darted through the trees.The squad was bloodied, shaken, but still breathing.
The sword tore through the second tentacle, severing it in a burst of sickening flesh and splattering blood.
Hans returned to is squad running alongside with his teammates happy and joy.
Then— " YOU DID IT!!" Jack screamed, heart pounding with both disbelief and awe.
"Hans... You actually did it!"
Even James, half-conscious and bleeding, stared with wide eyes, whispering,
James (half-growling, half-laughing):
"Damn it… Hans… you crazy bastard, you really went for him."
Jack chuckles in disbelief, eyes wide with both awe and madness. He turns to Hans with a crooked grin.Jack, "Heh… You , You are really insane and crazy. Just like the rumors said.
The Shadow Army didn't lie when they called you a mad beast."
Hans snaps a cold glance at him.Hans (flat), "What did you just say?"
Jack instantly raises a hand to the back of his head, nervous chuckle escaping.
Jack: "Whoa, no-no—don't get me wrong! That's just what I heard from your chief—Rox Darman. I mean… that guy's name comes up everywhere. But seriously…....
why do they call him a prodigy?"
"Rox Darman isn't someone hose comparison should to us , it's his insult to compare with us. He is on a whole different level. His powers on a different scale.
If he was here, he would be annihilate this beast in blink of an eye.
Daniel asked ," Did you ever watched him fighting." Hans replied, " No..., but He came at the 15th place for a reason in power Tournament of Dragons ."
In other lands, they whisper his name in fear. They call him Monster.
But in our kingdom—even people like me… We call him a Generational Genius."
James (thinking, gaze distant but steady) , "If Hans could push that beast back like that…Then If Rox is here , then He will definitely one shot this beast."
"Afterall , He himself is a monster."
Jack started to comment,"That monster was tough—but honestly, wasn't it kind of... weak as according to his power and size?"
James glanced at him, still panting, a grim look on his face.
"No, Jack… you're wrong. He's injured, yes. But even now, if we fight head-on—we'll die. That thing wasn't fighting at full strength."Jack chuckled arrogantly.
"Captain James, I think you're giving that beast way too much credit.
I think Don't we should finish that beast properly. I think we should completely annihilate him. Slay it in one shot . But suddenly"The forest rustled. The winds fell still.
Then—A mysterious voice came directly in to JACK'S mind.
