"What the hell is going on? It's been nearly ten minutes and they haven't come down yet," Titanwhale Skullbreaker grumbled impatiently. Holding off five Kingsides was no easy task, and Weleagle Skullbreaker hadn't said a word or used its Weapower the entire time.

The Kingsides, too, were worried about Anwar. If they could destroy the Weapower wall, they would have rushed to aid him long ago.

"Time to end this boring prank," a voice broke the stalemate. Everyone looked toward the bedroom stairs, where Anwar slowly descended behind Shoyo. With a swift double slash from Shoyo, a hole appeared in the center of the Weapower wall, shattering it to pieces.

The two Skullbreakers knew that Anwar's appearance meant their assassination plan had failed.

"How is this possible? We still have a chance to escape!" Titanwhale Skullbreaker quickly realized the need to flee and grabbed Weleagle Skullbreaker's hand to retreat. But Shoyo and Anwar were already eyeing them. As Shoyo prepared to strike, Titanwhale Skullbreaker suddenly vanished, reappearing on a grassy field somewhere in Paradise.

However, when Titanwhale Skullbreaker looked back, it was horrified to see it was holding Weleagle Skullbreaker's severed hand, which disintegrated into powder and scattered in the wind.

Titanwhale Skullbreaker seemed to possess the Talent of instant teleportation, capable of transporting itself and anything it touched. But Weleagle Skullbreaker had been attacked before the teleport, leaving Titanwhale Skullbreaker with only the severed limb.

Why hadn't they used this Talent to enter the palace directly? Perhaps it couldn't be used at will or control the destination precisely.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH8cm3TNRU
"The plan was perfect... Why did it still fail? Isn't Anwar supposed to be weak? Where did this ridiculously strong young guard come from? I've lost everything! What can I do now?" Titanwhale Skullbreaker cried helplessly, tears dripping from its face beneath the bone helmet, reflecting the moonlight.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0afhLGAiH
Suddenly, another figure appeared behind it, placing a comforting hand on its shoulder. "You were hard to track down. It took two years of energy reserves just to find you this time."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmNlQuy42R
Titanwhale Skullbreaker turned, clutching the newcomer like a lifeline in the darkness.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wqpaOTnjh
"The Anwar and guard situation was unexpected, but it's okay. At least you're still alive. Remember the materials you retrieved from the basement? I have a new plan. Let's go, we'll start over." And with that, the two humanoid figures disappeared into the night of Paradise.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the crisis in Paradise was not yet over. But in the great hall, the Kingsides watched Weleagle Skullbreaker turn to powder. All that remained was to eliminate the remaining Fakeslaves, and the disaster would be over.

"Let me introduce this young hero who saved me, Shoyo," Anwar said to the Kingsides.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiUrV6EtND
Shoyo was still puzzled. Had his Talent really saved the king? His vengeance was fulfilled, and the white light on his sword had long faded. Overwhelmed by excess ContQi, Shoyo was exhausted. But what did revenge matter if Rachel wouldn't come back?
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzmFGtmEMy
The Kingsides couldn't believe that this young man had defeated two new Skullbreakers that even the combined strength of five couldn't defeat. But since the king himself decreed it, Shoyo must have an unknown Talent.

With most of the Fakeslaves cleared, Anwar ordered Mock to escort Shoyo home and then return to assist with disaster relief. The next morning, Anwar would give a speech and commendations.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOS7tRqOnf
"Ah? No need to escort me, I can…" Shoyo began, but Anwar interrupted.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B1NDeBhtS
"Very well. Report to the palace tomorrow morning. Find your family and bring them to the speech. I want to honor you before all of Grandecy."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00PM4AXSAk
"Right… my family… I still have to take care of my family! Mom!" Anwar's reminder jolted Shoyo out of his grief over Rachel. Like a madman, he dashed out of the palace and ran home.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeOxjklpGj
The immediate priority was to aid in the rescue efforts. With the new Skullbreakers dead, everyone went out to help the survivors.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iNGfuceGD
This catastrophic event, one of the most tragic in human history, had finally ended. Though many mysteries remained, Anwar felt a sense of closure as the Fakeslave and Skullbreaker crises were resolved. Yet, the struggle against Skullbreakers continued.

Shoyo ran through Grandecy, seeing the devastation, desperately hoping his mother was safe and that his bedridden aunt had avoided the Fakeslave attack. His pace quickened with every thought.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghwNZFStzX
Soon, he arrived at his half-destroyed home.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdOdH8L7BS
"Mom! Aunt!" he cried, rushing inside to find them clearing the debris.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnkn9DMPn6
"It's going to take a while to restore this place… come help us," Anami, wrapped in bandages, worked alongside Ayaka.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs9mpVe2WW
"Aoino is helping with the rescue efforts. Shoyo, are you okay?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mNw3L2oVi
Seeing his family safe, Shoyo felt relieved. The fatigue from sustained ContQi overwhelmed him, and he collapsed, only to be caught by Mock. "Lord Mock? What are you…"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNPw8nqkZ4
"I came to see if the boy who saved the king from the new Skullbreaker needed any help. But I didn't expect…" Mock's eyes scanned the house, then widened in fury as he rushed at Anami, attacking with a blue Weapower fist.
