Shoyo knew that Rachel had sacrificed herself to save him, and it would be a waste to just jump into the well and end his life. With renewed resolve, he drew his sword to face the enemy, his eyes showing a determination even stronger than during the "Imperial Ceremony." Though filled with anger, his resolve remained unwavering, and the dull white glow emanating from his sword was more intense than ever.

As he prepared to strike, a sudden jolt like electricity coursed through his body, pulling him into the ancient well, where he vanished into thin air. The Fakeslaves, bewildered, turned away to seek other prey.

When Shoyo regained consciousness, he found himself in a strange room, facing Singoat and Tiger Skullbreaker.

"Finally! My bodyguard has arrived!" Anwar’s face lit up with a smile, the earlier unease replaced by absolute confidence.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5MTnvA1cO
But Shoyo seemed oblivious to Anwar’s praise, his focus entirely on the two new Skullbreakers. The anger he had been suppressing erupted.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZed6KYzRUn
"Was it you... who did this to Grandecy, to Rachel?"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90w5b3eu0T
The new Skullbreakers showed no fear, regarding his outburst as a child scolding his mother for eating his candy—utterly insignificant. Yet they noticed the white glow emanating from Shoyo’s sword.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QEa5lgiGt
Anwar, feeling ignored, grew tense, as if facing death. He sternly questioned, "Boy! You’re here to help me, aren’t you? Answer me!"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW3b8BtJv5
Shoyo snapped back to reality, realizing his impoliteness. "Of course, I am here to help, Your Majesty!"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykrQ0jOcuT
"Excellent. Enough talk, let’s get rid of these new Skullbreakers." Relieved by Shoyo's answer, Anwar’s tension melted away, replaced by his usual friendly demeanor.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyszySIPmnZ
"I’ll take action now. You not only killed Rachel, but you also destroyed the Grandecy I love... And Edan! You killed Edan too, didn’t you?"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0RQS1C3wh
If not for the new Skullbreakers, Edan and Rachel would still be alive. Shoyo recalled Rachel’s final moments, their recent confession, and their plans for the future. What was once a beautiful and happy future had been shattered by these monsters. The hatred surged within him again.

Shoyo’s sole focus was to strike down these creatures. Disregarding any swordsmanship, he charged forward recklessly, gripping his sword with both hands and attacking Tiger Skullbreaker with the most vulnerable and foolish move, an overhead slash.

As he swung, the white glow from his sword solidified, covering it like a thin veil. This was not the usual Weapower, but the special Weapower he had wielded as a youth against Mock and during the Imperial Ceremony against Lambo.

Singoat Skullbreaker knew such an attack couldn't possibly hit Tiger Skullbreaker, so it didn’t intervene. But to its surprise, Tiger Skullbreaker didn’t move, allowing Shoyo to land a deep slash from its left shoulder. Shocked, Singoat noticed that Tiger Skullbreaker’s left leg had been severed, the dismembered limb lying nearby.

Tiger Skullbreaker slowly toppled backward, everyone’s attention on its failure to dodge. Was it because it suddenly realized its left leg was gone? No one saw the satisfied, relieved smile hidden beneath its skeletal mask, as if it had achieved a lifelong goal.

As Tiger Skullbreaker fell, it didn’t evaporate like a typical Skullbreaker but turned to powder instantly, leaving no trace.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkVRddYxM2
"How is this possible...?" Though its face was covered, Singoat Skullbreaker’s astonishment was palpable. Even a warrior who could contend with Kingside was defeated by this unknown youth.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8PlqMDhke
"Remarkable! My bodyguard is indeed powerful! Let’s annihilate these new Skullbreakers in one go!" Anwar was thrilled by Shoyo’s swift victory, sensing a reversal in the dire situation. But was this the real story? Shoyo had no time to ponder why the enemy didn’t dodge or why its leg was suddenly severed. Perhaps this was his Talent?
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOuLnLfWjR
Singoat Skullbreaker noticed something peculiar. Initially, Anwar had both hands behind his back, but now his left hand was on his sword’s hilt while his right hand hung motionless. Anwar hadn’t swung his sword.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CKHei9nJP
"Boy, you’re my hero. I don’t know how you severed its leg, but use that power to clear out this trash. Aim for its right shoulder this time!"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpuU7Ovup5
Encouraged by Anwar, Shoyo instinctively targeted Singoat Skullbreaker’s right shoulder and charged forward again.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ2tfLhZDJ
Singoat Skullbreaker understood and wouldn’t repeat its mistake. The potion’s effects were kicking in. On the stairs to the chamber, it had drunk a Slow Motion Potion from an unknown source, enhancing its senses as if compressing time.
