After the tournament Sunny then decided to go to the sanctuary.Sunny still remembered the day Han had protected him inside the Sanctuary. That moment had stayed in his mind ever since.
Han was clearly powerful—far stronger than most people Sunny had seen before.
Yet during the sparring event, Han never used his vampire power. He fought as if he were holding something back.
Sunny didn't understand why.
So when he noticed Han quietly walking toward the Sanctuary forest, Sunny decided to follow him.
He moved silently between the trees, hiding his presence carefully.
Ahead of him, Han walked deeper into the forest.
Suddenly, a creature burst out of the bushes, lunging straight toward Han.The monster looked like a twisted beast with long claws and glowing eyes.
But Han didn't panic.Instead, there was a faint smirk on his face.
Just before the creature could grab him—
Han suddenly appeared behind the creature.
Large vampire wings spread from his back as he shot upward into the sky. A floating shield appeared beneath him, allowing him to sit calmly above the battlefield.
The creature roared and leapt upward to reach him.
Han simply watched it struggle.
Then he raised his hand and fired a fireball.
Boom.
The fireball struck the creature and burned straight through its body. The monster collapsed and died instantly.
Sunny watched from the shadows.
He's unbelievably strong…
Han landed and began cutting the creature's body apart. He separated the meat into pieces and removed a glowing Life Shard, placing it inside his pocket.
Then he continued walking deeper into the forest.
Sunny followed him again.
As they went further into the forest, more creatures appeared.
This time, Sunny decided to act.
He detached his tattoo, allowing it to take form and attack the creatures silently. The tattoo fought like a living beast, killing several monsters while Han continued forward without noticing Sunny's presence.
Eventually, Han arrived at a strange place.
Hidden deep in the forest stood a small ancient building.
It looked like a forgotten citadel, surrounded by monsters that strangely avoided the structure.
Han walked toward the door and stepped inside.
Sunny followed quietly.
Inside the building was a silent chamber.
At the center stood a mysterious stone platform.
Han approached it and touched the stone.
Immediately, his body was sucked into the platform, disappearing completely.
Sunny stared at the stone in shock.
"What…?"
Curiosity took over.
He stepped forward and touched the stone as well.
In the next moment, his body was pulled inside.
When Sunny opened his eyes again, he saw a battlefield.
Han stood in the center of it.
But he looked different.
He was now wearing red armor, and his wings had turned crimson.
Across from him stood a terrifying opponent.
A humanoid creature with angel-like wings.
But the creature wasn't holy.
Water surrounded her body like a living weapon. She shaped the water into a sharp sword and created a powerful water barrier around herself.
Sunny frowned.
If the Realm Sorcery ranked her… she would definitely be Sanctified.
Han attacked first.
Fire burst from his hands, but the flames couldn't break through the water barrier.
The angel-like creature moved gracefully, controlling water with terrifying precision.
Then she spread her wings and sprayed water across the battlefield.
In seconds, the water froze, covering the ground in ice.
Han activated Adrenaline Burst, gaining a temporary surge of strength.
He rushed forward and punched the creature with all his power.
But the punch barely affected her.
The angel's eyes turned sharp and cold.
She raised her blade, preparing to kill Han.
Sunny realized immediately—
Han couldn't win this fight alone.
Without thinking, Sunny stepped forward.
Thunder exploded from his body.
The power he had received from Sin activated instantly.
Lightning wrapped around his body.
"Lightning Fist!"
Boom!
Sunny's punch struck the angel directly in the head.
The impact sent a powerful shock through her brain, staggering her.
The creature suddenly transformed, expanding into a massive five-meter monster.
But Sunny didn't stop.
Using the remaining lightning energy, he launched another devastating attack.
The monster's body was crushed under the force.
Moments later, the creature collapsed.
Dead.
A glowing key appeared above the corpse.
Sunny touched it.
Immediately, the Realm Sorcery whispered in his mind.
You have slain Angel Spirit — Demon Lina.
You have gained nine new Legacy Powers.
Sunny froze.
"Demon…?"
He had never heard of such a creature before.
Then another whisper followed.
Warning.
Your tattoo has been lost.
Sunny's eyes widened.
"My tattoo…?"
But before he could react, the voice continued.
You have gained Angel Spirit.
Suddenly, a bright light burst from Sunny's body.
The battlefield disappeared.
When Sunny opened his eyes again, he was standing inside his house.
Everything looked normal.
The walls.
The furniture.
The quiet silence.
Confused, Sunny walked toward the window.
When he looked outside…
His heart stopped.
There were no streets.
No cars.
No people.
Instead, his entire house was surrounded by a massive cage made of dark metal bars.
The sky outside looked distorted.
Sunny felt a strange energy spreading through the house.
It felt familiar.
The same strange power connected to his soul.
Sunny slowly stepped back.
"This… is an illusion."
Just then—
The cage outside suddenly began shrinking, slowly closing in around the house.
The walls of the room started to warp and twist.
And somewhere in the darkness beyond the bars…
Something moved.
Sunny's eyes narrowed as he prepared himself.
Because whatever was creating this illusion…
was finally about to show itself.
