Scene – Lior is causing chaos on the battlefield.
Lior:
It's been quite a while since this battle started…
But I still haven't even reached their leaders!
If this keeps up, I'll collapse from exhaustion... Hah… hahh..!
Scene – Suddenly, Lior feels something.
Lior: Mom… Dad…!
Scene – Lior runs toward where Tall, Kin, Tain, Barn, and Pintu are fighting.
There's smoke all around them. When it clears, a figure appears—
It's the 3rd Power Black: jala.
jala steps forward.
jala:
Hmm... that child isn't here, but I sense his presence strongest in this area.
Tall:
I don't know what child you're talking about…
But coming here was a mistake—you won't be leaving alive!
Attack!
jala:
Hmph!
I'm Power Black jala, leader of the Black Group!
There's no way a human like you could defeat me!
Tain:
That… we'll see.
Scene – jala draws his sword and slams it into the ground.
The ground shakes violently and everyone falls.
jala:
If you can't even handle that, how will you beat me?
Scene – Tain is airborne—she jumped just before the impact.
Tain:
Spirit-Class: Bolt!
(This skill applies a random curse to the enemy. It can only be used three times per day.)
jala:
Hmm? Nothing happened...
Tain:
It will... soon.
jala:
Devil Beam!
(This is a deadly black beam. Anyone it touches dies instantly. Very few can survive it.
Additionally, the user absorbs 25% of the target's power, and weakens their defense by 50%.)
Suddenly, a voice yells—
Voice: "Bullet Seed!"
Scene – A flower erupts from the ground in front of jala.
Within a second, it grows massive and blocks the Devil Beam.
jala:
What?!
Lior (arriving):
Phew! Looks like I made it just in time!
Kin:
Lior!
Tain:
Very good, Lior!
Lior:
Mention not (;
Scene – The petals from the flower start falling.
Lior:
Uh oh! RUN!!
Scene – Everyone starts running away.
jala stands his ground.
As the petals touch the ground, they begin to explode—one by one.
Tall:
Lior! Next time you use a move like that—warn us first!!
Lior:
Okay...
Barn:
Still, he only used it to protect us.
If he hadn't, we might not even be alive right now.
Scene – The explosions stop.
jala is still standing, though seriously injured—he's bleeding from multiple wounds.
Lior (thinking):
What?!
He survived that…
In all my past lives, no one has ever lived through that move—let alone remained standing to keep fighting.
He's incredibly strong.
jala (thinking):
Ugh… hah... hah...
Barely survived…
If those explosions had gone on just a bit longer, I'd have lost right here.
That attack was extremely powerful.
Tain:
Lior, I'll take over from here.
Lior:
No, sister—he's very strong.
He just withstood one of my most powerful attacks.
jala:
Enough...
I've had enough of this.
Now you all DIE!
Scene – jala draws his sword again.
jala:
Ultimate Skill: Sword of Gigachi
(His sword's style transforms, becoming visibly more dangerous.
Its power multiplies by 30x.)
jala:
Jet Cutter!
(A stream of razor-sharp water shoots toward Lior.)
Lior:
That's too easy!
jala:
Shadow Sword!
(This skill reveals hidden shadows—even for those who normally don't cast them—
and allows the user to manipulate both real and fake shadows.
If damage is dealt to the shadow, it is reflected to the actual body.)
jala:
Pins!
(Small, sharp pins fire from the sword and strike Lior's shadow.)
Scene – Lior suddenly freezes.
Lior:
What…?! Aghhh..!
Scene – Lior takes damage—his first hit in the entire battle.
He collapses, but after a moment, he gets back up.
jala:
It's not over yet!
Scene – jala charges at Lior for a finishing blow…
But just before he lands the strike, his sword is deflected back.
Pintu and Tain:
Khan?!
Pintu:
Huh? Do you know him?
Tain:
That's my question!
Khan:
Tain, I'm their son—
And he's my school friend… and rival!
Tain & Pintu:
OHHH..!
jala:
Tch… Another problem!
Lior:
Thanks.
Khan:
You fought well, kid.
What's your name?
Lior:
Now's not the time! Let's fight first!
Tain:
Lior, from here, Khan and I will take over.
You go recover.
Lior:
Okay.
Tain:
Khan, let's do it!
Khan:
YEAH!
Scene – Tain and Khan charge at jala with their swords.
Khan attacks from the front, and as jala blocks him, Tain strikes from behind.
They keep repeating this strategy.
Scene – jala receives multiple deep cuts.
He's bleeding from every part of his body.
Tain:
Your game ends now!
Circle Cut!
(This attack slices the enemy into small circular pieces.)
Scene – jala is killed.
Scene – Shift to Pretty
She's still running through the battlefield, touching demons, who instantly vanish upon contact.
Scene – Cut to the Power Blacks
1st Power Black:
Hmm… That girl…
We need to do something about her.
2nd Power Black:
Sir, even KeBlack might not be able to stop her.
Shall I go?
1st Power Black:
Okay. Go.
