Inside the royal hall, chaos had completely consumed what was once a grand wedding ceremony.
At the center of it all stood the dark energy dome, its black-pink barrier pulsing ominously as if alive. Within it, Ron and Lia remained trapped, staring in horror at the horrifying transformation unfolding before them.
Dex and Maya had both fallen to their knees.
Their bodies trembled violently.
Purple veins bulged grotesquely beneath their skin, spreading rapidly like corruption made flesh. Their breathing had become ragged, almost animalistic, as though something ancient and vile was forcing itself into their bodies.
Lia's eyes filled with tears.
"Sister…!"
"What's happening?!"
Instinctively, she tried to move toward Maya—
But Ron immediately grabbed her arm, pulling her back.
Even now, despite his own pain, he understood.
Something was deeply wrong.
And yet—
His own eyes remained locked on Dex.
His older brother.
The person he had once admired most.
