A voice: "Dark"
Just when they thought they were all dead, someone had arrived and saved them.
Jirou: "What...?"
Jeonne turned his gaze forward. A figure stood between them and the monstrous blast, a man cloaked in a dark robe, his face hidden behind a mask etched with a demonic design.
Jeonne: "Who are you?"
The man raised his hand to manifest a shield, denser, stronger than anything Jaime could conjure. It held against the overwhelming assault, buying them precious seconds.
But when Jeonne's eyes met the man's, something terrifying happened.
A malignant spark surged between them. It was as if both had glimpsed each other's truest selves—two forces that could never coexist, clashing by nature alone. Jeonne's system glitched violently, his interface flashing and disappearing in rapid pulses before shattering like broken glass. The violation lasted only two seconds, but the shock dropped him to his knees.
Jeonne: "What the hell... what was that?"
The man's crimson blade pulsed, overflowing with destructive energy.
From behind, Jirou observed with sharp focus. Amazing. His shield didn't just block the attack—it absorbed it, converting the force into his sword. But this blast hasn't stopped yet... what will he do now?
The masked man lowered his stance, fixing his eyes on the torrent of energy. His voice was cold, commanding.
Masked Man: "Dark: Surge."
He swung. A single horizontal cleave of searing red energy ripped through the blast, overwhelming it and carrying forward unrelentingly. The torrent collapsed in on itself as the wave continued, carving straight into the massive Slytherin boss.
The monster was sliced clean in half at the waist. Its upper body toppled, crashing into the ruins with a thunderous impact.
Silence followed. Everyone stared, struck by the sheer display of power.
Jirou: "O-one hit? What the fuck...? He might be as strong as the Generals... maybe stronger. Who is this man?"
The masked figure slowly turned, his blade still glowing. He leveled its point directly at Jeonne.
Masked Man: "Who are you?"
Jeonne, stunned: "What? I... I'm Jeonne."
The man's reply was merciless, a sudden kick that sent Jeonne sprawling.
Masked Man: "Give me a half-assed answer again, and I'll kill you. Who are you really?"
Jeonne clutched his chest, shaken. "What? I don't understand, I—look!"
His words broke off. The ground trembled.
The Slytherin boss's body stirred, grotesque veins weaving its halves back together. Its flesh mended at terrifying speed. In seconds, the monster stood whole again.
The group's hope sank. Despair returned heavier than before....
Then, a flash of energy streaked across the battlefield. A brilliant explosion struck the creature, halting its advance.
Reinforcements had arrived.
Above them, the sky was filled with ""Floaters"", massive aerial warships powered by heat and helium, their metallic hulls gleaming in the twilight. The largest among them carried ""Vria"", standing alongside ""Fyodor Hannes"" of the Imperial Federation. On another vessel, ""Vladimir Darshen"" and ""Fahrlan Ironjaw"" prepared for battle. Vria had summoned them from beyond the country's borders, and they had answered.
Vladimier Darshen: "This monstrous entity without a name, I'm going to call you, Aphos. you hear everybody? Write the name Aphos when you write the report."
Aphos shifted its attention to the Floaters, its grotesque form quivering with malice. A pulse of energy gathered at its core before it unleashed a devastating blast toward one of the ships. The Floater, sluggish in maneuverability, had no chance to evade.
But before destruction could reach them, a blazing figure intercepted the attack.
"3rd General Yusuf" arrived, his body engulfed in raging solar flames. With a single, flaming hand, he stopped the energy blast mid-air. The force sent shockwaves through the battlefield, but Yusuf did not waver. Instead, he ""charged directly into the blast"", his flames consuming it as he pushed forward.
Then, with his fist burning like a collapsing sun, he struck Aphos.
Seeing Aphos was already dealth with, the masked man that saved Jeonne and the others decided to leave it with their hands.
The creature howled in agony, lashing out in retaliation, but Yusuf dodged with fluid precision, his body soaring through the air. Twin colossal swords materialized in his hands, forged from pure solar fire. He slashed downward, carving ""Kyrgos in two"".
For a moment, silence.
Then, ""regeneration.""
Aphos reformed, as if the attack had never happened.
Yusuf's eyes narrowed. "What?"
On the battlefield below, ""Jirou turned to Jeonne", his voice tense.
"Jeonne, I'm sorry to say this... but we have no other choice. Killing your friend is the only way to stop whatever's in that cocoon from being born."
Jeonne's breath caught. "No. That can't be! I came here to save him! How did it come to this?"
"Do you want more casualties?!" Jirou snapped. JIrou calmed down, and says, "Okay. We'll give you chance to let us seperate your friend from that creature. If it's up, we have no choice but to kill him."
Jeonne: "Okay"
Jirou uses his Decoder to report including Yusuf, "Report. This Jirou Arcarias from the Imperial Order. There's an innocent human connecting its body to this monster. There's a high chance if you separate him, the monster will stop regenerating."
Yusuf: "Is that so?"
The tide of battle was shifting. Then, Yusuf conjures a colossal sword that's emitting golden light of the sun, he says, " Solar Flare: Horizon and Everdawn". he thrusts his conjured sword in the air downward and pierce its body. Yusuf then separated Nico from Aphos by swiping his hand and cutting the flesh with his power. He then proceed to melt Aphos' body until nothing remained. Its body stopped regenarting.
Nico fell down and Jeonne and transformed to Legion Knight for 3 seconds to catch him.
But the battle was not over.
Something under Aphos, like another cocoon, but different than the others ""trembled"".
A hand, something ""far worse than Aphos"", pushed through its surface, clawing for freedom. It was ""trying to be born"".
Jirou stood before it, heart pounding, as something horrific stirred within. A grotesque figure, half-emerged from the cocoon, loomed before him, a nightmare waiting to be born. Without hesitation, he instinctly rushed toward the cocoon. He then performed a technique, Imperial Sword Technique: Series 1: Sixfold Slasher!"
Just before the figure managed to appear, Jirou slashed the cocoon with the help of his sigil and obliterated it. He stopped whatever madness was going to be born...
Jeonne carried Nico away from the battlefield, gently laying him on the ground. As he did, Nico stirred, his breath weak but steady.
Jeonne smiled. He saved him.
"J-Jeonne..." Nico's voice trembled, his eyes unfocused. "I... I killed them."
Jeonne's expression softened. "No, no. It wasn't your fault. What matters is that you're safe now."
But Nico's gaze darkened.
"No, Jeonne. I don't think I'm going to be okay."
The battlefield faded away. For a moment, they were no longer there—just two figures standing in the vast emptiness of a salt flat, stretching endlessly beneath a dimming sky.
[The scene in salt flat]
"No! But we saved you! We separated you!" Jeonne's voice cracked.
Nico shook his head, his body trembling. "That creature... it was already part of me. So if you killed it, then..."
Jeonne's hands tightened around him. "No... this can't be."
A weak chuckle escaped Nico's lips, tears slipping down his face. "What a shitty end... but at least I get to die like a cool villain." His voice broke. "Jeonne... I'm scared. I don't want to die yet. I promise—I promise that I'll be content with what I have..."
Jeonne couldn't hold back his own tears. They fell freely, as if they would never stop. He gripped Nico's hand tightly, his voice barely a whisper.
"It's going to be okay."
Darkness closed in.
"I see a light at the end of the tunnel..."
A pause.
"...My sister."
Jeonne's breath hitched. He clenched Nico's hand even tighter, resting his forehead against it. "...Are you going to her now?"
Nico exhaled slowly, eyes fluttering closed. "That would be..."
His voice trailed off. The last word remained unspoken, but Jeonne knew.
Wonderful.
The life in Nico's eyes faded.
Jeonne stared for a long moment before gently closing them.
"I tried... I tried everything," he whispered. "But I was powerless."
A faint chuckle.
"Don't say that..." Nico's voice was a mere breath, his body barely holding on. "The last thing you'll ever be is powerless."
He tried to laugh, but his body was failing.
"I looked up to you, Jeonne. You were strong. But that admiration... it became rotten."
His fingers twitched. His breathing slowed.
"...Ah. Elena... is that you?"
Jeonne froze.
"...Elena?"
And then—silence.
Nico was gone.
Jeonne screamed out his pain.

Footsteps came, hurriedly and worrily, this woman, Dea, walks towards the hall. He approaches Nicola Zacarias, with an expression of sincerity and worry.
Dea: "What did you do?

[Holy Empire of Lazarus]
(???): "They finally managed to stop one of them. Who were they?"
(???): The main 4 fighters who brought it down were named, two people we never heard before; Jeonne, and Jaime, an Imperial Authority; Jirou Arcarias, a swordsman; Rosetta Fleur, and a member of the former sigil-less group known as the Heroes of Order, Geldric Faust. However, the one who displayed real power was the Scarlet Reaper. His powers are threat to the church.
Ever since Jeonne became a World Dreamer, his journey was all misery. He had lost his only mother who was always there for him, lost the only woman he was too late to realize that he loved her, and his only genuine best friend who he had a bond with. Standing on the edge of the city, he struggled to maintain his composure, burying the heavy weight of his grief. His eyes, empty as the void, betrayed the depths of his despair.
The city fades, its bustling streets giving way to the endless sky. Higher still, the planet slips from view, swallowed by the vast darkness of space. Slowly, the void gives way to Jeonne's eyes, fluttering open as he wakes from his dream.
Jeonne wakes up. He opens his eyes and then says, "I remember. I remember everything...."
