Scene – Lior is fighting Alaka.Alaka has just summoned his sword.
Alaka:Ren.
Scene – Alaka raises his hand into the air, and a sword suddenly teleports into it.The sword has a silver blade.Its grip is a mix of yellow and white, and at the top of the handle is a demon horn—shaped like a cow's horn.
Alaka:Let's go, kid.
Scene – Lior charges toward Alaka and strikes at his neck.But Alaka blocks with his sword.Lior quickly switches tactics and strikes at Alaka's leg, making a small cut.Alaka grabs Lior's hand and slashes it off with his sword!
Lior's left hand is cut off. He holds his sword with his right hand, screaming.
Lior:AAAAAHH..! T_T
Alaka:Oh, are you crying now?
Lior:I'm not crying, the pain just made my eyes water!
Lior (thinking):Even the Dead Sword isn't doing much…No—maybe I'm the weak one here.Maybe I'm not using the Dead Sword properly…!
Alaka:Well, whatever it is—Now die!
Scene – Alaka aims his sword at Lior's neck.
Lior (thinking):Oh no…! This is it…Am I about to die?!
Scene – Just then, someone grabs Lior and pulls him back.
Lior (thinking):What the—?! A… dragon?!
Scene – Secret Sky's army enters the battlefield!There are more dragons than humans.Even skeletons are present.The demons are being overpowered.Dragons and skeletons are fighting the demons everywhere—Even in the sky, airborne dragons are attacking from above.Some of them are carrying skeleton warriors on their backs.
Scene – Cut to the King.
King:Good thing we sent in the Secret Sky army.
Scene – Back to Lior.
Lior:Th-thank you...
Scene – The person who saved Lior is revealed: it's Preya.
Preya:It's alright, kid.You fought well.Maybe you didn't realize it, but that guy you injured—He's the leader of the demon army.Just hurting him is already a huge accomplishment.
Lior:No...
Preya:Now rest.
Scene – Alaka speaks.
Alaka:So tell me, dragon woman...Why are the dragons and skeletons fighting alongside humans and siding with Shin Kingdom?
Preya:Because our Lord wants peace,and so do we.We wish to live together in harmony.If you retreat your army right now, this war will end immediately.
Alaka:And if I don't?
Preya:Then get ready to die.
Scene – All around, dragons and skeletons are killing demons.Preya now stands in front of Alaka,while Lior is far away from them, recovering.
Alaka:I don't feel like fighting anymore.
Preya:Huh? Wait—what?
Alaka:I'm leaving.
Preya:Hold on a sec—
Scene – Alaka walks away, returning to Ishu's side, watching the rest of the battle.
Preya:And… he's gone… Whew!
**Scene – Suddenly, 10 demons surround Preya.They are all KeBlacks.
Preya:Huh?
1st KeBlack:Don't worry.So what if you're a dragon?We are still KeBlack demons.Our Lord, Power Black, gave us protection.As long as he doesn't die, we can't die either.
(Writer's Note: Actually, this skill belongs to Umbros, the Primordial Black. He used it on Power Black, but its effect extended to all KeBlacks. So unless Umbros dies, Power Black won't die. And unless Power Black dies, KeBlacks also won't die.)
All KeBlacks:ATTACK!!
Preya:Tsk… Dragon Claw!(Her hands glow with a blue aura, transform into large, sharp claws.)
Scene – All KeBlacks are attacking from a distance.None of them get close to her, but Preya is still taking damage.
Preya (thinking):Will I really lose without even getting to fight properly?
Preya:FIRE TORNADO!
Scene – A tornado made of flames appears and rushes toward the KeBlacks.The ones who are hit take significant damage.
Preya (thinking):This still isn't enough…I need to use something stronger.
Preya:Ultimate Skill – Blood Lake!(A massive deep pit about 50 meters wide appears, and blood begins to rise from it.Anyone who falls in is instantly killed.)
Blood Lake's unique effect:Anyone who touches it will have their weapons disabled (unless they are the skill's user).And they will also be hit by random attacks after a few seconds.
Preya (thinking):And because of that, this skill drains a huge amount of my magic.
Scene – Cut to Tain and Khan, who are facing jala again.
Tain:You're… still alive?!
jala:Killing me isn't that easy! Hahaha!
Khan:Be careful, Tain.He's an extremely dangerous opponent.
Tain:Hmm…
Tain (thinking):And yet I was almost about to beat him alone!
Scene – Suddenly, jala falls to the ground.
Tain:Yes! Looks like the curse is taking effect.
Khan:Curse? What curse?
Tain:It paralyzes my opponent for quite a long time.
Khan:I see.
Khan (thinking):So he's useless for now.That's perfect.
Khan:Let's go then.
Tain:Hmm.
Scene – Back to Preya fighting the KeBlacks.Many of the KeBlacks had either touched the Blood Lake or fallen in.
Those who fell in died and turned into skeleton knights,Now fighting on Preya's side.
**Scene – Only 4 KeBlacks remain.6 KeBlacks had fallen into the Blood Lake.
Preya:Now, you six—If you handle the rest of them properly,you'll get your names written in the Hall of Honors after the war.
Skeleton Knight:Yes, ma'am!
Preya:Alright, time to move on—Let's go to that Power Black next.
