Everything burned.
Carl Jhon stood at the center of a collapsing world of flame. His planetary fire ability spread outward in controlled waves, each eruption reshaping the battlefield into molten ruin. The sky itself looked unstable, like reality was being forced to accept heat it was never meant to contain.
Entire sections of the walled town disintegrated under pressure alone.
Stone melted. Metal bent. Air itself warped.
Jhonathan moved through it without hesitation.
Fireballs rained down in dense patterns, each one carrying enough force to erase structures instantly. He met every attack head-on, parrying, redirecting, and breaking them apart mid-flight.
Blades thrown into the chaos followed perfect killing trajectories—but none of them reached him cleanly.
He kept advancing.
Unstoppable in motion.
Unbroken in intent.
Carl Jhon's eyes narrowed.
"Monster," he said quietly.
Behind Carl Jhon, the knights who once stood in formation began to retreat.
Then they turned.
Then they ran.
Not from fear alone—but from realization.
They were witnessing something beyond command authority.
Beyond rank.
Beyond law.
Carl Jhon raised his hand.
The fire stopped moving randomly.
It obeyed.
It compressed into his sword.
A blade formed in his grip—solid, radiant, absolute.
He spoke one word.
"Justice."
The sword descended.
The strike landed.
Clean.
Absolute.
Jhonathan's body staggered as the impact cut through his defenses and directly disrupted his Undying Soul ability. For the first time, it failed to activate.
Carl Jhon exhaled slowly.
"You don't understand what you've done."
His voice remained calm, but heavier now.
"This town is under my rule."
"And you have destroyed everything I was tasked to protect."
He lifted the sword again.
"This is Justice."
Before the final strike could fall—
a chain snapped through the air.
Pink energy flashed across the battlefield.
Sophia appeared instantly, her chains moving faster than sight. They wrapped around Carl Jhon's sword mid-motion, locking it in place with precise force.
The pressure between them cracked the ground beneath.
Carl Jhon's blade trembled.
Then broke.
Silence followed.
Even the flames hesitated.
Carl Jhon stood still, staring at the broken weapon in his hand.
For the first time, his expression shifted.
Not anger.
Not pride.
But uncertainty.
Sophia didn't speak at first.
She simply stood there, chains still extended, her presence steady in the chaos.
Then she finally said—
"…Justice?"
And the battlefield, for the first time in a long time, didn't immediately answer. (Rewrite)
