Orimo's fists clenched, shadows flickering violently along his arms.
"Shut up," he snarled.
"You don't know anything."
Diamante's laughter thundered across the island, rolling through the ruins like a storm. Behind him, the spirits whispered, bowed, and waited — their silent submission a testament to the terrifying authority he now command.
Meanwhile — Royal Capital
The gates of the royal castle exploded inward.
THUD!
Supreme Admiral Sora Nithel strode through the shattered entrance, his presence suffocating the air itself.
King Varian rose from his throne, fury flashing across his face.
"What is the meaning of this, Sora?!"
Steel sang.
In a single motion, Sora unsheathed Shinkourai, the blade stopping one inch from the king's throat.
Varian's voice trembled.
"Have you lost your mind?"
Swish.
The sword pierced straight through the king's heart.
Blood sprayed across the marble floor as Varian collapsed, eyes wide, lifeless.
Sora stood over him, expression unmoved.
"Trash," he muttered coldly.
"How dare you try to kill me."
Moments Earlier
V.D Agents had surrounded Sora in silence — an execution order from the royal family.
A blade passed straight through Sora's skull.
No resistance.
No scream.
Sora's sword moved instinctively.
Swish!
Blood poured through the air.
Queen Raelia, revealed from invisibility, coughed violently, collapsing to her knees as crimson stained the floor.
Guards stormed in through the gates.
Sora's gaze sharpened.
One slash.
The corridor fell silent — bodies crumpled, cut cleanly apart.
He looked around the ruined throne room, disgust curling his lip.
"The Five Gods," Sora said quietly, his voice dripping with contempt.
"When will you appear now… now that your royal family is dead?"
The news spread like wildfire across the world.
King Varian — Commander of the World Ruling Dominion — assassinated by Supreme Admiral Sora Nithel.
His bounty surged overnight:
3,000,000,000 Ryo
Every Navy unit mobilized.
Every hunter sharpened their blade.
But Sora Nithel…
Had already vanished.
And with him, the illusion of an unbreakable Dominion.
