Hannibal: (Shouting with overwhelming anger, trying to regain control of the situation)
"Stop it! Be quiet! If you had true intelligence, you wouldn't have done that in the first place!"
(Silence fell upon Caro for a moment, his face trembling, but his voice came out calm with a shocking realization.)
Caro:
"That means... Hadeen is my son?"
Hannibal:
"Yes, Hadeen is of your flesh and blood."
Caro: (Screaming with intense anger mixed with pain, his barrier of composure completely broken)
"Do you know that Hadeen suffered all this because of you? Do you realize where your arrogance and greed have led us?"
(Caro stormed out of the room with fast, determined strides.)
Hannibal: (In a calm voice, yet revealing hidden concern)
"What are you planning to do?"
Caro: (Without stopping or looking back)
"I will correct what needs to be corrected."
(Outside, Kazuma and Hadeen were standing at the entrance of the mansion. Ai and Takeura stood with them.)
Hadeen: (Smiling calmly)
"I'll walk Kazuma to the main road and be right back."
(As they were talking, a shadow was watching them from a distance, poised in anticipation.)
(Ai speaks again.)
Ai: (With an affectionate smile)
"Kazuma, take good care of yourself. And thank you once again."
Kazuma:
"I will miss you all very much."
(Kazuma shakes hands with Ai, then with Takeura.)
Kazuma: (Smiling sincerely)
"It was an honor to meet you."
Takeura:
"Just call me Takeura. That's my name."
Ai: (Gently, contemplating his appearance)
"The combat suit you're wearing really suits you. It's perfectly coordinated on you."
Kazuma: (Rubbing his head with slight shyness)
"Thank you for the kind compliment."
(Suddenly, Kazuma's eyes widen in shock as he looks upwards. Ai is still smiling, unaware of what is happening.)
Kazuma: (In a tense, fearful voice)
"Hadeen! Move fast!"
(In the sky, numerous daggers were materializing in a mirage-like form, hurtling with insane speed towards Hadeen.)
Kazuma: (Yelling at the top of his voice, warning them)
"Get away, Hadeen! Geeeet awaaaay! Move quickly!"
(Kazuma tried to move, but his body refused to respond, as if an invisible force was shackling him.)
Kazuma: (Clenching his teeth hard, his left eye narrowing with intense focus)
(Internal monologue): "My body won't move!"
(Hadeen closed his eyes in resignation, while Takeura grabbed Ai and carried her away from the imminent danger.)
Hadeen: (In a desperate voice)
"Is this the end of my life?"
Hadeen: (Forces a sad smile)
"Why does my body refuse to respond and defend itself?"
(His clothes were stained with blood. Suddenly, a shadow covered his body. A wide shot reveals the scene: Caro intercepted the daggers with his back, blood covering and pouring from him, his head resting on Hadeen's shoulder.)
Hadeen: (Opened his mouth in shock, trying to scream, his eyes trembling with terror)
"Father! Father!"
(Ai let out a loud shriek mixed with panic, while Takeura held her tightly.)
(Caro's mouth was full of blood, and his teeth were covered with it.)
Caro: (Coughing blood, in a weak, broken voice)
"I'm sorry, my son... that's all I can say to you."
Hadeen: (Crying)
"Why did you save me?"
Caro: (With a final sigh)
"Simply... because you are my son."
(At that moment, a loud, arrogant, and boastful laugh was heard. Everyone raised their heads. It was Aiden, holding his hands up towards the sky, with Showken standing behind him. A red 'Shin' aura surrounded Aiden.)
(Kazuma's eyes widened in profound shock.)
(The color of the sky changed to grey, and thick clouds suddenly dominated the city.)
Aiden: (In a clear, confident voice that filled the space)
"Kazuma, you told me not to touch a hair on Hadeen, correct? But that didn't include my ally touching him."
Aiden: (Laughing at the top of his lungs)
"Hahahahaha! While I took a part of your village, you gained nothing worth mentioning!"
Caro: (In a voice barely audible from exhaustion)
"I apologize for what I did."
Hadeen: (Hugging him tightly, moved)
"Father! Why are you apologizing?"
Caro: (In an emotional whisper)
"I was manipulated. I was the pawn, and my father was the manipulator."
Hadeen: (In a loud, heartbroken voice)
"Ai! Call someone to save him!"
Hadeen: (Screaming in pain and anger)
"Come on! Move quickly! Coooooome ooooon!"
(Ai looked at Kazuma, who was standing, clenching his fists hard, his head bowed, his thick hair obscuring his features.)
Kazuma: (Grinding his teeth, in a faint, barely audible voice)
"I will kill you... I will kill you..."
(Lightning and thunder struck the city. Kazuma's eyes widened, and thick veins began to appear on his fists.)
Kazuma:
"You will see the BEAST you awakened, because you tried to violate our treaty!"
(The ground beneath him began to shake and crack, while a blood-red, black aura surrounded him like a wall of power.)
Kazuma: (With eyes empty of pain, but full of threat)
"The grave awaits you."
(Lightning strikes forcefully.)
(In Caro's room, Hannibal widened his eyes and opened his mouth in profound astonishment.)
Hannibal: (With extreme concern and panic)
"That is an overwhelmingly powerful aura! I must kill the user before he destroys us!"
(Kazuma suddenly shifts to his inner consciousness. He finds himself in a strange place where the sky is clear blue, and the ground beneath his feet seems to be made of solid, reflective glass.)
Kazuma: (In a calm voice, filled with confusing inquiry)
"Where am I? What is this place?"
(Kazuma scrutinizes every corner of the strange location with his sharp eyes.)
Kazuma: (Clenches his teeth, trying to gather his thoughts)
(Internal monologue): "It seems I lost consciousness... Am I inside my mind?"
(But the surrounding calm quickly transformed into overwhelming chaos. Some of the glass pieces forming the ground began to turn into black shadows. These shadows started gathering and coalescing around him.)
(Kazuma retreated backward, his tension and anxiety increasing.)
Kazuma: (His breath is strained and ragged, due to the state of shock and the effort he expended)
(Internal monologue): "What is this? Is the chaos I unleashed reflecting inside me?"
(We see the shadows gathering and coalescing, forming the shape of a massive mouth with fangs and two glowing eyes, from which a viscous substance drips.)
The Monster: (In a booming, savage voice that echoes in the silence)
"So you have come."
Kazuma: (His voice trembling, yet he tries to stand firm)
"Who are you, entity?"
The Monster:
"I am your self, Kazuma. Your dark side."
Kazuma: (Draws a faint smile of irony)
"How can a monster like this be my self?"
The Monster: (Grinning widely with fangs)
"You and I are one entity. If you don't accept me, you will never accept yourself."
(Kazuma clenches his teeth with suppressed rage. Suddenly, the glass floor violently cracks. Kazuma falls, clinging to the edges of the crack with his hands, his eyes looking down into a darkness with a massive mouth.)
(Kazuma's hands tear away from the crack, and he falls into the abyss, and we see the Monster's mouth open to receive him, as Kazuma lets out a resounding scream.)
Part Two: Return to Reality (The Power Explosion)
(We return outside where yellow lightning is striking forcefully. Kazuma's hair stands up and prickles, indicating the activation of immense power. Veins begin to appear on his cheeks, signs of power creeping from his depths. He lifts his head, his arms stretched out horizontally straight, while a violet aura activates around him, rising like the fire of an angry mind.)
(Ai and Hadeen hug the dying Caro, and Takeura stands in frozen astonishment.)
Takeura: (Sweat pouring from her, in a faint, barely audible voice)
"This is the power of a beast! Energy that surpasses human capacity!"
(The place shakes violently. Plants and flowers wither, and branches fly off and break due to the enormous pressure.)
(Kazuma screams a high-pitched cry that erupts with his aura. Sticky black veins encircle his face and arms, and his pupils turn into a horizontal, primal shape, symbolizing the savagery that is no longer hidden.)
(Aiden and Showken stand upright with complete confidence.)
(Hannibal rushes out of the mansion.)
Hannibal: (With deep anxiety)
"I am too late!"
(Lightning strikes again, and thunder booms. The darkness of the lightning covers Kazuma's face, revealing only his savage eyes.)
Kazuma: (With a scowling, terrifying face)
"You have unleashed a beast that knows no mercy!"
Takeura: (Her eyes wide with shock)
"Even if I used my maximum strength, I wouldn't reach his level! This amount of power cannot be achieved by a human unless they have been subjected to an experience... or a curse!"
Aiden: (Loudly, addressing everyone)
"This is a piece of my plan to prove that humans bring out their worst to do anything!"
(Kazuma's second scream breaks the silence of the place; the walls shudder as if trembling before the echo of his rage):
Kazuma:
"People... deserve to die! Damn them and their judgments!"
(Kazuma leans his body forward, his right palm planted on the ground, while strands of his energy rise around him like a small storm. He then hovers slightly upwards, as if approaching the sky before crashing down to the ground with the sound of lightning.)
Kazuma: (In a high voice, inflamed with anger)
"This... is your end!"
(He extends his left fist forward, like an arrow of darkness, while Aiden stands straight, calm, his body reflecting a steadfastness that defies the oncoming storm.)
Kazuma: (Laughing arrogantly and angrily, his voice echoing like a volcano)
"Take this, Aiden!"
(The atmosphere becomes more grey. Kazuma stops, Aiden is motionless. Everything around them stops for a moment. The grey vision disappears for an instant.)
(Kazuma vanishes from in front of Aiden and returns to his original spot.)
Kazuma: (With confusing calm)
"What happened?"
(Hannibal is now standing close by, smiling maliciously.)
Hannibal: (Smiling sarcastically)
"How weak you are! You didn't even overcome my weakest technique."
Kazuma: (Clenching his teeth, his anger renewed)
"I must kill him! He is a dangerous obstacle!"
(Kazuma clenches his teeth and releases a large aura.)
Kazuma: (Internal monologue, in a calm voice)
"I used a [Liberation] restriction and condition. So why didn't anything happen to me?"
(From within Kazuma's left eye, he sees Hannibal raising his left arm, and time stops again.)
Kazuma:
"My left eye is catching something strange..."
(Hannibal prepares to raise his arm again. Kazuma leaps into the sky like an eagle, and the flame at the tip of the shuriken eye rotates to the left. We see Kazuma completely vanish in the blink of an eye.)
(Astonishment appears on Hannibal's face.)
(Kazuma reappears, leaning his back forward, while raising his left palm upwards, ready for the attack.)
Hannibal: (Realizes the danger quickly)
"That eye grants him instantaneous teleportation!"
(Hannibal moves his right palm straight, to the right. We see Kazuma's right cheek sustain a deep scratch, as if someone had punched him invisibly.)
(Kazuma spits out blood and sighs heavily.)
Kazuma: (Calmly and bitterly)
"I feel like I've completely lost control. He's strong... I will inevitably lose."
(White screen. We see Hadeen with Caro's head on his lap, while Ai is holding her father's hand and tears are falling.)
(We return to Kazuma. Kamasaki was standing next to Hannibal.)
Hannibal: (Smiling with arrogance)
"You are weak."
(Kazuma paused for a moment, opened his eyes in astonishment, then, with lightness and speed, he leaped over Kamasaki's arms, taking advantage of his moment of arrogance.)
Kamsaki: (Astonished, his eyes widening in absolute shock)
"What...? How..."
Kazuma: (Grinning with clear arrogance, his tone blending threat and condescension)
"How about we remove those ancient bandages now?"
Kamsaki: (In a broken voice, a clear tremor coating his tone)
"How... how did you know about these restraining pellets?"
Kazuma: (With a piercing smile, hinting at his intelligence)
"Thanks to the Shuriken Eye... I see what is hidden from ordinary eyes, and what is concealed even from you yourself."
(Kazuma deliberately dug his fingers into the bandages slowly, each movement like a lesson in practicing pain, and began to tear them off. Kamsaki screamed at the top of his lungs with every pull of the bandage):
Kamsaki:
"No... Please... Stop... This is... a mortal danger!"
Kamsaki: (Shouting, his fear mixed with despair)
"Stop...! You don't realize the consequences! You don't know what will happen now!"
(Kazuma's laugh rose high, deep, like the echo of Hell itself):
"Taste the pain, just as you made me taste it!"
(The bandages vanish, revealing Kamsaki's body covered in hideous black pellets, spreading over his skin like an incurable disease, and his torn clothes fluttering due to the explosive force of the moment.)
(Toji stands stunned, his eyes wide, silent before the horror surrounding the scene.)
Bala: (In a tense voice, mixing fear and caution)
"Things... have completely spun out of control... Takiura, hurry... protect Ai!"
(Takiura grasped Ai's shoulders.)
Takiura:
"My Lady, you must rise! Kazuma has lost control, and he no longer knows what he is doing!"
Kamsaki: (Screaming, his voice choking between pain, horror, and accusation)
"No... Why did you do this?... Why, you reckless child?"
(Kazuma leaped high, behind Kamsaki, his body gleaming with a lethal energy, shouting in a voice that challenged both Heaven and Earth):
Kazuma:
"Come to me, you beast... let this be a great competition between us! Let your eyes witness my passion for battle, and let your soul drown in a desire you never imagined!"
(Eden retreated backward, his eyes widening in astonishment and fear, while Kazuma soared above everyone, the aura of his power surrounding him, as if the whole world had become nothing but an arena for revenge.)
(The city's silence cracked under the impact of the monster's tremor, its wounded body swaying like the ruins of a defeated tower, while Kazuma stood firm before it, his feet rooted in the earth like the origins of an eternal tree. His smile was drawn with an eerie steadiness, less like a triumph and more like a vague promise with death.)
