The first soldier attacked.
Fast.
Precise.
Kai didn't move.
At the last second—
He disappeared.
BANG!!
The soldier was sent crashing into the wall.
Gasps filled the room.
"He's faster than before!"
Kai stood behind them.
Breathing heavily.
But smiling slightly.
Not a normal smile.
A dangerous one.
"This power…"
He looked at his hand.
"…it's growing."
The more pain he felt—
The stronger he became.
More soldiers attacked together.
Kai moved like a shadow.
CRACK!
BANG!
THUD!
One by one—
They fell.
Too easy.
Too fast.
Too… enjoyable.
Kai froze.
"…Enjoyable?"
His smile slowly faded.
"No…"
A voice echoed inside him:
"More pain… more power…"
His eyes widened.
"…Shut up."
But the voice grew louder.
"You were weak… she made you strong…"
Kai clutched his head.
"STOP!!"
Dark energy exploded again.
The entire building shook.
Outside—
More soldiers arrived.
"This is bad…" Lina whispered.
Kai's power was no longer stable.
His eyes turned completely red.
His voice changed.
Deeper.
Colder.
"…Everyone… leave."
Even Lina stepped back.
Because at that moment—
Kai was no longer himself.
