The war had begun…
but inside, Ayan was smiling.
Not because he wasn't afraid—
but because Aditi was still with him.
Even now, he couldn't tell her how much he loved her.
Both of them stood there, injured… scratches covering their bodies,
yet their eyes held no fear—only determination.
They didn't even know who their real enemy was.
Still… they were ready to fight.
Ready to protect humanity.
---
Ayan's mind was full of questions.
Demons?
Why Aditi?
What was her connection to the Demon Lord?
Nothing made sense.
But one thing was clear—
he trusted her.
Even if it meant risking his life.
---
"Aditi… what is happening? Who are they?" Ayan asked.
Aditi looked serious.
"We don't have enough time to explain everything," she said quickly.
"Just come with me."
Before Ayan could ask anything more—
Aditi raised her hand… and suddenly—
A horse appeared out of thin air.
Ayan's eyes widened in shock… again.
But this time—he stayed silent.
---
"Where are we going?" he asked while getting on the horse.
"Sit," Aditi said. "I'll tell you everything on the way."
---
As the horse ran through the empty land,
Aditi began revealing the truth…
And with every sentence—
Ayan's shock kept growing.
---
"Years ago… my clan sealed 25% of the Demon Lord's power… inside my soul."
Ayan froze.
"The demons are trying to revive him now," she continued.
"They need 100% of his power."
"50%… they've already collected."
"25%… is inside me."
Ayan swallowed hard.
"Then the remaining 25%?" he asked.
Aditi shook her head slowly.
"We don't know."
---
"Their goal is simple…" she said, her voice heavy.
"To revive the Demon Lord… and destroy humanity."
---
Ayan clenched his fists.
"Then how do we stop them?"
Aditi looked at him.
"We need power… and warriors."
Ayan's eyes lit up slightly.
"Then… what if we create our own alliance?"
Aditi paused… then smiled.
"That's… actually a great idea."
---
Both of them started thinking.
A name… something strong… something fearless.
After a moment—
Ayan said,
"DeadHunt."
Aditi smirked.
"Perfect."
"And our slogan?" she asked.
Ayan looked forward, eyes sharp.
"Do… or Die."
---
From that moment—
The alliance "DeadHunt" was born.
Aditi—the leader.
Ayan—the acting leader.
Their mission—
To find warriors…
who were ready to die for humanity.
---
But suddenly—
The air changed.
Dark… heavy… suffocating.
The horse stopped.
---
A demon appeared.
But this time—
It was different.
More brutal… more terrifying…
something beyond normal.
Even Ayan… felt fear.
---
The demon looked at him and spoke—
Without raising its voice…
"Return Aditi."
---
Ayan's heart was pounding…
But he stepped forward.
"…Never."
---
The demon smiled.
"My name… is Kabonzo."
Its presence alone felt like hell.
"Your words… will cost you everything," it said.
"Just wait."
---
And in the next second—
It disappeared.
---
Silence.
Ayan exhaled deeply.
His body relaxed… but his mind didn't.
Inside… he knew—
Something big was about to happen.
