In a second training ground at the Bamira family palace, the atmosphere was tense due to Samara's fight against Anthony and Ramlon.
Despite the absence of lights, the place was fully illuminated by the atoms that were repeatedly converted into energy by the Sani for Samara, Anthony, and Ramlon, where yellow fought against black, purple, and blue, and the sounds of swords clashed with each other at tremendous speed, and rain fell in small metal pieces.
Samara screamed, releasing great energy from her sword.
"First Fox Rebound... The Great Break! "
That great energy was launched towards Anthony, and Ramlon struggled to block it, saying,
"Sir, you must be more careful. After taking that strange drug, that woman's power has increased to that of a greater master, about to enter the realm of an ancient master, a single star... "
Anthony was breathing heavily and said
"Yes, I know that.... "
Samara raised her sword and emitted a more intense aura that caused the air around her to crackle, and she said
"The fourth fox's rebound... Final End."
A great yellow line shot towards Anthony, cutting through everything, even the air in its path.
Ramlon shouted, and a powerful blue aura shot out.
"White Twilight!"
Ramlon blocked that blow and launched another quick blow, even bluer and more powerful.
"White Phoenix Eye!"
A white phoenix emerged, saturated with a white aura and surrounded by blue energy.
Samara tried to block it with difficulty, but to no avail... The blow cuts off Samara's right hand and knocks her sword to the ground.
Anthony looks on with a victorious smile.
"Well done, Ramlon. Victory is now assured."
Ramlon looks at Anthony excitedly and smiles at him, saying as his aura begins to fade.
"I'm sorry... young sir..." I couldn't complete my last task... I couldn't... protect you... young sir..." "
Ramlon falls to the ground with a smile, while his sword remains standing, stuck in the ground.
Anthony's face is filled with cold shock, his eyes widen and his aura fades away.
Samara speaks as she cuts off a piece of her clothing and wraps it around her severed hand.
"Why did you have to... Ramlon .... "
Anthony shuddered and asked nervously, "What happened to Ramlan? What did you do to him?"
Samara spoke, her sword raised towards the sky. "My final blow was incredibly powerful. He forced his Sani to exert double the effort to deflect it, converting over a thousand atoms into energy. This is something a one- or two-star Old Master couldn't do."
A deep, yellow aura erupted as Samara declared, "This is your end, second son of the cursed Duchy of Bamira... Fifth Fox... The Break!"
As immense energy gathered around Samara, Anthony stood blaming himself for his Romlon's death and reminiscing about his childhood memories with Ramlan.
He remembered Ramlan standing there,
teaching Anthony swords, day and night.
He recalled the moments when Ramlan would take Anthony's hand and lead him to the poor neighborhoods to teach him about giving, generosity, and doing good.
Then, he would take his hand again, leading him to a library and buying him General Sun stories. As a reward,
he finally takes him by the hand and leads him back to a poor neighborhood to tell the orphans and children there the heroic tales of the General of the Sun.
That was Ramlan, a man who loved the sword as much as he loved doing good to the children and teaching...
Anthony raised his sword, saying, "I thought the Sun General was my role model in life, but now I know that my role model is the one who taught me about the Sun General..."
Samara replied with a serious expression, "Then that's unfortunate..." and unleashed a great strike, like a wave of energy that caused the entire arena to vanish due to the immense pressure.
Anthony continued, raising his sword, "That's why I will never give up. Even the Sun General didn't surrender to the Moon General... the Great Violet Sun."
At that precise moment, a great sun, tinged with purple, appeared, causing all existence itself to tremble and fear.
Every energy and atom around it ceased transforming into energy in favor of Sani Samara and began to surrender to Sani Anthony, submitting to him because of that great sun.
Despite its small size, no bigger than a shoulder, it demonstrated the immense power of the sun.
Samara was shocked as her strength and energy were drained away by that magnificent sight
Anthony stood with a purple sun behind him, its light illuminating the area and subduing all existence in that region.
Samara felt as if that sun was the eye of one of the Dragon Kings, watching her, its great claw on her neck.
Samara said hesitantly and fearfully, "This power... where did it come from...?"
Anthony spoke, his eyes completely purple, "This is because I learned the truth about the sun... the sun is just another weak creature..."
Samara's eyes widened. She said, "And where the hell did your other black aura go?!... Don't tell me it's another that your second Sani had died . He disappeared under pressure. Do you want to follow the same fate as your friend?"
Anthony replies, raising his hand. "When I first learned about the sun in the General Sun stories, I thought it was a great power. It gave me a great black aura , alongside the purple of my Sani ... But now that I know how weak the sun is, that black color has left me as a final sign of understanding my place and weakness in this world..."
Samara screams angrily. "What are you talking about, you bastard!... The Fourth Fox, the Final End!"
A great power surges forth, like the strike that killed Ramlon.
Anthony remains standing, then raises his head towards the sky, tears welling in his eyes. "I have truly learned my weakness... One of the dearest people to me has died, and I couldn't protect him... I am truly weak."
With a single wave of great purple, Samara's strike vanishes and shoots directly, severing Samara's head The Great Master with a single pure blow.
Samara's entire aura disappears, and her blood splatters on the ground.
Then his head falls to the ground as she watches. To Ramlon's last face before she died, she said, "Why? ... Why did you do this? ... Brother?"
25 years ago .....
In an orphanage in the city of Zenon
That orphanage was known throughout the city for the warmth and affection it offered, despite the poverty in which four children of different races lived happily under the care of an old, sick, blind man named Lon.
Despite his poverty, illness, and blindness, this man forced himself to work cutting down trees and selling the firewood so he could buy some rotten beans and carrots for his four children, who weren't even his own by blood, but he treated them as if they were.
Ramlan, Samara, Zonar, and katoni. These four children sold various items in the market to help their elderly father, and yet, all they ever had for dinner was stale bread soaked in water...
But despite all that, they lived happily; not a day passed without laughter emanating from that house.
But unfortunately...
One morning, the children went out to work, while the old man stayed home because his illness had worsened...
They returned at noon with some rotten grapes, but despite that...
They were excited because it was the first time in their lives they had ever tasted grapes.
Father Lon was overjoyed and ate a few grapes with them, tears welling in his eyes because it was the first time he had ever seen children eat sugar.
Suddenly, several men entered, carrying axes, swords, and sickles. "Oh, these are the children of the religion he spoke of! Men, seize them to sell them in the slave market! As for the old man, cut him up and sell his internal organs!"
Father Lon screamed at what he heard and pushed his children out.
He then tried to push the men back to give his children time to escape.
Despite the children's tears and terror, Ramlan moved, grabbed the children's hands, and forcibly dragged them out into the forest, to a distant place, in a desperate act to save his brothers.
Old Lon died there after being beaten so severely that his face was covered in strange substances other than blood.
Days later, a mysterious man appeared and told the four children that this had happened because a nobleman had decided to sell orphaned children to pay royal taxes.
The mysterious man said he would help them get revenge.
All the children agreed except Ramlan, who repeated his father's words, "Evil brings no good..."
He decided to follow the right path, and from it emerged the White Meteor, one of the greatest knights of the Kingdom of Maltalia.
Unlike his brothers, who all became masters of the Black Fingers organization...
This was the story of Old Lon and his sons... Lon, one of the greatest heroes in history.
