Scene – On the battlefield
Tall, Pizu, Kin, Pintu, and Barn have fallen—defeated.
Lior is still fighting against Latius.
Scene shift – At Pintu's house
Kuku, Pretty, Tety, Bety, and Precious are present.
Kail: What's going on, Precious? Everyone's defeated—can Lior still win?
Precious (in a funny tone): Oh, I completely trust him. But I didn't expect Pizu to get defeated!
Kail: But Lior is alone now, and the other adventurers are fighting hard too.
Precious: Kail, Lior is incredibly strong. If he wants to, he can beat them easily.
Kail: Okay, but what if he can't defeat them? What will you do then?
Precious: Simple. I'll just send Pretty. She'll end everything with her Void Grasp skill. Hahaha!
Kail: So you're not going to fight?
Precious: Nope.
Kail: Haaa...
Scene shift – Back to the battlefield, Lior vs. Latius
Lior: Tch… You're not getting away now!
Latius: Try me, kid!
Lior: Meteor Fist!
(A normal skill – stones appear around his fists surrounded by fire.)
Scene – Lior launches a Meteor Fist combo, so powerful it shakes the battlefield and affects the nearby Bees Village.
Latius: That much power? Looks like this fight just got serious—this will be fun. Come on, kid!
Latius dodges the first punch, but Lior continues the combo.
The second punch hits Latius hard—it knocks him back so far that he's almost thrown out of the battlefield.
Lior: I'M NOT DONE YET… COME BACK HERE!
Lior keeps up the combo. Everyone else on the battlefield stops fighting and retreats from the area because the sheer impact and soundwaves are terrifying. Some even get slightly injured just by being nearby.
Scene – Pintu's house
Pretty: Mommy, what's going on?!
Precious: Ah… That must be Lior's Meteor Fist. It's his most powerful fist technique. Something must have triggered him on the battlefield.
(In his mind) – I can't tell them that everyone else is already down and unconscious.
Scene – Battlefield
Lior: Is this all the power the Black Group has? I expected more!
Latius: Tch. You're gonna regret this!
Latius: Black Wind!
(A unique skill: wind around the user turns black within a 10-meter radius. The user's presence disappears within it. It can be used as a weapon – like forming blades or claws – and the user can teleport within the Black Wind but not outside it.)
Latius: Wind Reaper Claws!
(Converts the Black Wind into blades or claws, as mentioned earlier.)
Latius: Shadow Gale!
(Allows teleportation within the Black Wind.)
Scene – Latius uses Shadow Gale to teleport behind Lior and attacks using Wind Reaper Claws.
Because of the Black Wind, Lior can't sense his presence.
Latius: What happened, kid? You were talking so big a second ago—gone quiet now?
Lior (thinking): Damn… I'm trapped in here…
Latius: You can't escape without my permission. So now—DIE! Hahaha!
He repeatedly teleports and attacks Lior, again and again.
After a while, Lior is severely weakened and bleeding.
Lior: If you've got guts, come fight me face to face! Only cowards attack from behind!
Latius: Only losers say that. This is a battle, kid!
Lior (thinking): Tch… Is there no time limit for this skill? How long is it going to last?
Scene – Pintu's house
Kail: Look, Precious. Lior is losing now.
Precious: I still believe in him. He's not fully defeated yet.
Scene – Battlefield
Kin (struggling): N-No… Not… L-Lior!
Lior (thinking): I have to come up with something fast...
He stands on the ground, thinking quickly.
Lior (thinking): Wait a second… this might work.
Scene – Lior stomps the ground with force and jumps high into the air, floating mid-air.
Latius: W-What?! You can fly!?
Lior: Oops! I forgot to mention earlier.
Latius: That's cheating! This is a ground battle—come down here!
Lior: You said it yourself earlier—there are no rules on the battlefield.
Latius: Tsk!
Lior: Fire Ball!
(A massive blue fireball.)
Latius: O-Oh no!
Lior's Fire Ball hits Latius directly—he is defeated.
Lior: That was tough… but I won!
Black Group Member: Sir! Latius has been defeated!
Black Group Member 2: Should we retreat?
Taru: No one retreats!
Gagu: We're still here—we'll handle this brat!
Lior: Oh really? Well, none of you are getting away either!
OVERPOWERED BLAST!
(Ultimate skill: gathers surrounding energy into a white ball the size of a cricket ball.)
Scene – Lior holds out his hand. Energy gathers and forms a glowing white ball.
He lightly pushes it forward, and it hits the enemies.
(Note: All the guild members who were watching from the Bees Village have already evacuated. Lior had protected Kin, Tall, Pizu, Barn, and Pintu inside a barrier.)
Scene – A massive blast occurs. Latius and all his allies are annihilated.
Some are reduced to bones, while others are vaporized completely.
Even the houses in the Bees Village—those in direct sight of the battlefield—are half-destroyed.
Lior: What were you all saying, huh?! Finally… it's over.
Mom… Dad… I hope you're safe.
Scene – Lior walks toward Tall and Kin.
Scene – Far away, a figure in a black cloak watches all this… and quietly leaves.
He is a member of the Black Group, and he reports everything to his leaders.
(Side info: The place where the Black Group is based has no official name, but people call it the Territory of Bil.)
Scene – Inside Keblack's meeting room
All the top leaders of Keblack are present.
Bisu: What happened, Gap?
Gap: News from Bees Village—the attack has failed.
Hina: What?! Who's that powerful over there? Who led this attack?
Gap: Sir Latius.
Nanashi: So the army is defeated?
Gap: Yes.
Kulu: What about Latius? Where is he?
Gap: Sir Latius, his subordinates, and the entire army are dead.
Hina: WHAT!?
Eri: Leader, we must take action!
Kubu: We can't just sit quietly. This is our first defeat.
Kulu: We need revenge!
Hina: Hmm… I know.
This time, take 100 members, 2 B-Black, and 8 Yomi-Black.
Attack the place again—and this time, leave no one alive.
Got it? And yes… take him too—I want to test his powers.
Gap: Yes, Leader.
