Soral (calmly, arms folded, slight frown):So… it's over now…?
(She exhales slowly, shaking her head.)
Honestly… you really are troublesome, you know that? How could you do that to Koyai like that…?
Dranexx (smiles casually, unfazed):Well… I was just checking for myself how strong he is… like you hyped him, you know.
(He shrugs lightly, completely relaxed.)
(A faint groan echoes from the side.)
Jevalron (low voice, disoriented):…What happened…? How am I here…?
(He slowly sits up, holding his head, vision still blurry.)
(Then his eyes sharpen—he spots Dranexx.)
Jevalron (anger rising instantly):Oh… you… it was YOU who knocked me out in my own room?! How dare you!
Dranexx (calm, almost bored):Oh… quiet, golden boy.
Jevalron (furious, stepping forward):Let's go. Right here, right now—me and you. 1v1.
Dranexx (smirks, eyes narrowing slightly):Oh… you really wanna go there…?
(A faint pressure begins to build in the air.)
Soral (calm but firm):Enough. Both of you.
(She glances at Dranexx.)
And Drane… that's enough for you, okay? You must be worn out from that battle. You need to rest.
Dranexx (bursts into laughter): Hahahahahahahahahaha—worn out?! No way!
(He spreads his arms slightly, aura flaring with confidence.)
I'm active and ready to face anyone… or anything.
(His grin sharpens.)
"Bring what you got I can handle it."
Dranexx (laughing wildly):Kuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Soral (sighs, rubbing her temple): Seriously… you're such a pain, baby.
(She walks toward him slowly, completely unbothered by his energy.)
(She gently places her hand on Dranexx's head.)
Tap.
(Silence.)
Dranexx's body suddenly goes limp.
His eyes roll slightly
And just like that…
He collapses to the ground.
Fast asleep.
Like a child.
Jevalron (stunned, stepping back):…What… did you just do to him?!
Soral (calmly, as if it's nothing):Oh… I just put him to sleep.
(She glances down at Dranexx.)
Using Phantom Lullaby.
Ability Explanation (Natural Tone)
Soral (continues, casually): It's an extra skill of mine… lets me force anyone into sleep for however long I want.
(Small pause.)
And right now… I set it to 24 hours.
(She slightly tilts her head.)
So yeah… he's not waking up anytime soon.
Phantom Lullaby — Soral's extra skill.
An absolute control-type ability that forces sleep upon its target, overriding resistance and will.
And even someone like Dranexx…Was completely affected.
(Dranexx lies peacefully on the ground… breathing softly.)
Completely under Soral's command.
For the next 24 hours.
(Jevalron stares in disbelief… sweat forming slightly on his forehead.)
Jevalron (thoughts):She… put THAT monster to sleep… instantly…?
Soral (Sigh): Alright… you. Let's go back to the palace. Your father must be worried…
Jevalron (calmly): Oh… sure. But I have a lot of questions about what happened here… somehow I'm getting images of me fighting that guy…
He clenches his fist slightly, confused by the fragments in his mind.
Soral (calmly): Don't worry… I will explain everything when we get to the palace, okay…
WHOOSH
Space bends.
In an instant, they teleport back to the palace.
Everyone: Ahhh!!
Lisa (worried): Are you guys back!? I was really worried since we saw that massive explosion!
Akube (eyes widened): Whoa—what happened to Dranexx!? Why is he like that!?
Wait… is he dead!?
AHHHHHHH OH NO MY BEST FRIEND!!
Soral (calmly): Oh shut up. He's not dead… he's just asleep.
Lisa (awkward): Seriously… he's sleeping during all this…?
She sighs, then smirks slightly.
Well… knowing him, I'm sure he already took care of the problem. The two of you are the strongest here, so I can't see anyone stopping you.
Soral (proudly): True. There's no one in this world beating me or Dranexx. Kuhahahahaha.
Akube (calmly, glancing at Jevalron): Oh great…
Hey Jevalron… if you're here, I take it you're no longer a vessel of Koyai…
But… why do I feel something off around you…?
King Madura (rushing forward, joyful): Oh my son! You're safe! Thank goodness!
Princess Nina (runs and hugs him): My little brother! Javy, tell me are you alright!?
Jevalron (face turns red): Hey—big sis Nina, stop! I told you not to call me "Javy" in public! It's embarrassing!
Akube (mocking): Ohhh Javyyyy~ Javyyyy~
Jevalron (angrily): I will kill you!
Princess Nina (calmly, expression shifts): …But something is off.
Why do I feel a demon energy emanating from you, little bro…?
Slight silence falls.
Soral (calmly): Everyone… stay calm and breathe. I'll explain everything.
But first Lisa.
Lisa (responds): Yes ma'am.
Soral (calmly): Take Dranexx home for me, okay? He needs rest right now.
I put him to sleep for 24 hours straight, so he needs a soft warm bed.
And don't you dare think of doing anything with him.
Lisa (face turns red): Um however do you mean!?
I'll take him home, don't worry. He's in good hands!
Soral (glared): I don't trust you. Akube you take him.
Lisa (immediately): Nah huh! You told me to and I will!
Why are you acting like that!? I can't violate him while he's like this—come on!
If I ever make a move, it'll be when he's conscious and watching me kuhahahaha!
Soral (turns slowly): I pray I'm there the day you try such vulgar things…
I will eradicate you from this world, Lisa. I promise you that.
Akube (thinking): Ahh… here we go again…
(out loud): Will you guys chill!?
Lisa, take him home. Leave him with Nao and Scorpy, then come back.
Lisa (smirks): Acting like a boss now, huh Aku…
Well, see ya. I'll be back in a few minutes.
WHOOSH
Lisa teleports away with Dranexx.
Nao (shocked): AHHH! Big sis Lisa! You scared me! Why would you teleport like that!?
Lisa (apologizes): My bad, Nao. Take Dranexx and put him in his room to rest, okay?
Scorpy (curious): What happened to him? Is he alright?
Lisa: Yeah… he's fine. Just sleeping, that's all.
Scorpy (narrowing eyes): I felt a strange presence earlier… something massive.
Care to explain?
Lisa (calmly): Not now. We'll explain when we get back, okay?
WHOOSH
Lisa reappears.
Soral (calmly): You're back… I hope you didn't do anything to him.
Lisa: Relax. I didn't do anything.
Besides… why are you acting like he's all yours?
Oh and you should worry about Nao. I left him with her.
Soral freezes.
Soral: …Oh. That's right.
Nao is in love with Drane too… damn it…
Akube (surprised): Seriously… how is he doing this…?
What do you girls even see in that jerk!?
Lisa & Soral (together): Watch it, Aku.
Akube: Hmph.
Princess Nina (clears throat): Um… I think you're forgetting something, Lady Soral.
This is not the main issue here now.
Soral (calmly): Oh—my bad.
So… you all want to know how Koyai was defeated…
And why his powers still exist inside Jevalron…
A pause.
Soral (calmly): …The truth is… I don't know.
Everyone: HUH!?
Soral: I don't know. Honestly.
I don't know what technique Dranexx used.
One moment… I saw him raise his hand—
The next… Koyai's core existence was outside Jevalron's body.
Lisa (calmly): So… you don't know what happened in that moment?
Soral: Exactly.
What I do know is… that ability ignored space, time… and laws.
Everything in that range was rewritten.
Akube (calmly, impressed): A technique that bypasses space-time and laws…
To rip out a target's core existence…
Now that's OP…
Dranexx never stops amazing me…
Princess Nina (serious): That still doesn't explain…
Why my brother still has demon energy.
Soral (calmly): Listen carefully…
That energy… is called Demon Lord Haki.
Princess Nina: Demon Lord… haki!?
Soral (sighs): Yes.
Jevalron is no longer fully human…
Everyone stiffens.
Soral: He is now… a Demoniod.
King Madura (shaken): Demon…iod?
Soral: A human with Demon Lord power.
Once he masters it… he will become a full Demon Lord.
That's what we call a Demoniod.
Akube (excited): Oh damn… that's actually cool!
Jevalron (shocked): So… Dranexx did this to me…?
I wanted power—but not like this…
Am I now… a threat to the world…?
Soral (calmly): That's not the issue.
Be careful of the Monarchs. They may come for you.
When Koyai used your body… his existence became far more dangerous than before.
Jevalron: How do you know all this…?
Soral (slightly awkward): Um… I read an ancient book… yeah.
Jevalron (narrowing eyes): That doesn't make sense…
Lisa (cuts in): That's not important right now.
What matters is keeping this power hidden.
Princess Nina (cold): Yes… little brother.
Now is not the time to be arrogant.
Jevalron (quickly): My apologies… Lady Soral.
Soral (sigh): It's fine.
If I know Dranexx… he had a reason for doing this.
Akube (joking): So basically… you're a hybrid.
Half human… half demon… demon lord human—what was it again—demoniod?
Soral turns slowly.
Soral (terrifying glare): Stop talking.
Akube (sweating): O-Oh… sorry…
Princess Nina (laughs softly): Kufufufu… this is actually funny…
My little brother… a demoniod…
Soral: He's not a full Demon Lord yet.
But when that time comes… it's 50/50.
He could lose control.
King Madura (nervous): Lady Soral… really…?
Soral (calmly): Don't worry.
We'll be there to stop him if that happens.
King Madura (bows slightly): I trust you… thank you for everything.
Akube (smirks): You can repay us with titles!
Lisa: You idiot.
(Everyone laughs lightly.)
Soral watches the room quietly…
Soral (thinking): Dranexx… what are you planning…?
I don't know your reason…
But I will find out.
Peace settles over the palace…
The princess is cured.
Jevalron is saved.
Laughter fills the halls.
But far… far beyond the planet…
A massive spaceship drifts silently through space.
???: Kufufufufufufu… so we are close to Planet Alpha X…
Oh… I can't wait to see what's waiting there…
Maybe… I'll finally find a worthy challenger…
Kuhahahahahahahahahahahahaha…
His laughter echoes across the galaxy…
To be continued…..
