Shock strikes the heart of the Luminus Clan.Fear spreads.. Questions rise…

Scene: Luminus Territory – Outer Gate

Old Merchant:"I am here to deliver some medicines that were ordered."(thinking) Who are these men…?

Hooded Guard:"Old man, there is a celebration at the compound.It is very important that no one enters the territory.Besides, don't you know there is also a grand celebrationof one of the Highest Clans in the next territory?"

Old Merchant:"I know that, but they requested these medicines yesterday."

Hooded Guard:"Leave the medicines. We will deliver the payment tomorrow.There is a high-profile person at the mountain compound right now."

Old Merchant:"Grrr… why am I not invited? I am their personal merchant!"

Hooded Guard:"Shut up. Leave the medicines.We will send them in a few hours."

Scene: Luminus Mountain – Clan Compound

Senior Disciples (anxious):"What… is this?""It looks like some kind of field skill…""What is happening…?""Who did this…?"

Orozoel (calm, commanding):"Stay focused. Prepare yourselves.Seniors, replenish your energy first."

Guard Disciple (rushing in):"My lord! Some kind of monsters are attacking us!Other guards are heavily injured!"

Before them, a monster slowly materializes like black smoke.A floating Black Beast Tree hovers in the air,releasing murderous energy.

Its presence sends chills through the entire area.

Senior Disciple (shocked):"What's that… Clan Head?!"

Black Beast (roaring):"RRRHHHAAAHHH!!!"

Orozoel (urgent):"That's—disciples, dodge!!"

In a split second, the Beast Tree's roots stab through the bodiesof ten senior disciples, shaking the compound with terror.

Orozoel (cursing):"Shhiit…"

Senior Disciple Orozell,

the strongest among the twenty-five senior disciplesand a possible next Clan Head, steps forward.

Orozell:"Clan Head… that's an ancient monster .I think someone is controlling it. It shouldn't even exist in our country."

Orozell quickly sends slashes to cut the roots of the floating beast.

Orozell:Luminus Sword Art: Dark Night Slashes!

The roots are cut by the slashes, but the roots of the floating monster were fast regenerating.

Then a ball of brilliant light slams into the monster.

Elder Juzo Luminus appears, radiating authority and power as he heals the injured seniors.

Elder Juzo (commanding):"Seniors, help the injured.Others, protect the people—monsters are spawning all over the mountains!"

Behind the Thousand-Year Beast—

Red-Eyed, Black-Faced Man (muttering):"Uuh… three of our main targets gathered in one place."

Orozell jumps toward the beast and the black-faced man,

with his sword imbued with Dark-type energy.

Orozell: Yaahh!!!

But the roots of the floating beast are attacking and intercepting him.

He instead slashes the roots in mid-air.

A number of slashes with energy are shining in mid-air.

Black-Faced Man:

Ooh! You're quite fast and strong.

Your control of Dark-type energy is quite magnificent!

After, Orozell is forced back to the ground.

Cut roots are spread mid-air, falling to the ground.

But again, the beast is regenerating so fast.

The hit of the Light Ball of Elder Juzo and the slashes

are healing and regenerating.

After this, Clan HeadOrozoel sends his attack.

Orozoel:

"Luminus Sword Art: Reijeo Light!"

(Attacking both the monster and the Black-Faced Man)

Smoke and dust explode across the battlefield.

A Black Metal Puppet emerges, blocking the attack.

Black Metal Puppet talks:That's quite strong, Clan Head.

Orozoel (desperate):

"What?..! old man, please hear my request. Please save those young ones. You already know—we are outnumbered. They are everywhere in our territory…

We will hold this… until my final strength."

Elder Juzo (calm):"Okay…"

Orozoel (commanding):"Orozell! Senior disciples!Lend me your strength!"

Senior Disciples:"Yes, my lord!!"

Orozoel:"Attack!!"

Scene Change: Mountains Under Siege

Tree Monsters from the summoning sweep through the mountains. Senior disciples struggle desperately to fight them.

At the same time, hooded martial artists burn houses and slaughter civilians throughout the territory.

Senior Disciple 1:"What's this… they're regenerating too fast…"

Senior Disciple 2:"Is this the end? Who did this…?"

Roots lash out, binding two disciples before stabbing through their bodies.

"UUAAAHH!!"

Baku (shocked): Hey! How can we defeat these monsters!Gor (rush face): I don't know, I guess we need some flame art!

Then suddenly, fireballs hit the beasts.Beasts are burning and cannot regenerate.The fat man martial artist appeared.

Baku:Ui! Senior disciple Gazzu! (The fat man from Ep. 1)

Fat Man, Gazzu (mid 20s age):It's like my timing was perfect! Hahaha!

Gor (hopeful, refreshed face):I am right, Baku, we need skills to counter their ability!

Fat Man, Gazzu (mid 20s age):Hey! You two, go and check the children and young ones!I will stay here! This is a strict order! Baku! Gor!

Baku and Gor (serious faces): Okay, Senior!!

They rush and run..
